To the unbiased observer the action of the Republican majority in the state senate resembles nothing so much as that, short-siglited shrewdness which is peculiar to children. The new rules adopted have no definite end in view. They are not calculated to aid the Republicans in passing any legislation in which they, or the people, are interested. They are calculated only to preserve to the Republican majority a few appointments for their political following. a mater that is not usually considered the chief work of a parliamentary body. The committee ap|K)int ments are still more the product of childish jealousy and political horse play. It appears that the Republican committee on committees first found what the Democratic senators wished in the way of appointments and then carefully gave them something else, a stroke of statesinanship that will doubtless be much appreciated by the voters of the state. Men fitted for special lines of legislation by many years of work and research were carefully placed upon committees which will deal with problems with which they are utterly unfamiliar. It is probable that statesmanship of the brand of Senator Wood's of Lafayette saw in Hi is move a chance to put the minority members of the committee at a disadvantage and to make easier the work of the Republican majority which h i so much to do looking after its poliUval fences that it wishes to devote only a minimum of time to actual legislation. The people have elected men to tiie senate to pass laws, or repeal those already passed, as the case may he. They wish the best thought of the men best equipped. We do uot believe that the peanut politics of the Wood-Bland type will appeal even to thinking Republi- aus tile state over. THE OPEN BALLOT.

Things at the Capitol [By F. c. Tilden.] Now that Marshall has been inaugurated and the way opened for actual work by the lawmakers, the chief topics of conversation around the state house are the senatorial situation, the possibilities of option repeal, and the radical recommendations tor reforms made in the Governor's message. More and more the drift seems to be toward Kern, though tiiose on the inside realize that the break to him may be later than was supposed last week. The Slack and Shively forces have a friendly feeling for each other, though any working combination is denied. It is hinted, too, that some Slack votes will go to Lamb it the contest should be prolonged. Kern is now claiming 2 8 votes and Lamb 12, not enough to nominate if united. It is probable a half dozen ballots will be necessary to settle the ques-
tion.
Option, The feeling that the county option bill ought to stand is undoubtedly growing here. It Is now stated that 17 members of the house and 5 of the senate on the Democratic side will oppose the repeal. In the house this movement is headed by Representatives Rlsner and Hostotter. In the upper house senators Shafer, Long, McCarthy, Yarling and Tilden are currently reported as “standpatters.'' It is probable that others will take the same view a little later in the session when the fight begins. Marshall'-. Message. Governor Marshall's mes -ago lias created a profound Impression among the members of both parties. Tin- opinion is current among the members of the legislature that the message goes to the very root of needed reforms. The suggestion of cutting In places aud salaries has set tiie office hunters squealing, as Marshall predicted it would. There is no doubt that if the new governor lias his way there will be radical retrenchment in state expenditures during his administration.
