Legislative Session. The Legislature be- 

 gan its regular biennial session on Jan. i: uu! 

 adjourned on Mnrch 13. As the adherents of^ 

 the new People's or Farmers' Alliance partv^ 

 were in control of the Lower House, and of both 

 Houses on joint ballot, the proceedings of the 

 session were watched by the public with great 

 interest. The choice of a successor to United 

 States Senator John J. Ingalls first claimed the 

 attention of the legislators. The Republicans 

 nominated Senator Ingalls, and made earnest ef- 

 forts to win over the Alliance members to his 

 support, but without success. The latter de- 

 cided to nominate a candidate directly repre- 

 senting their own principles, and in caucus on 

 Jan. 26 selected William A. Peffer, on the seven- 

 teenth ballot the vote standing Peffer, 56; John 

 F. Willits, 38. The Democratic candidate was 

 Charles W. Blair. On the separate ballot in 

 each branch, on Jan. 27, the following vote was 

 cast : Senate Ingalls 35, Peffer 2, scattering 3 ; 

 House Ingalls 23, Peffer 96, Blair 5. The first 

 joint ballot, which was taken on the following 

 day, resulted in the election of Peffer by the fol- 

 lowing vote : Ingalls 58, Peffer 101, Blair 3, for 

 other candidates 8. 



An important act of the session provides a 

 system of law for the promotion of irrigation. 

 It declares that all natural waters, whether 

 standing or running, and whether surface or 

 subterranean, in that portion of the State west 

 of the ninety-ninth meridian, shall be devoted, 

 first, to purposes of irrigation in aid of agricult- 

 ure, subject to ordinary domestic uses, and, 

 second, to other industrial purposes, and may be 

 diverted from natural beds, basins, or channels 

 for such purposes and uses, provided that ex- 

 isting vested rights in such waters shall not be 

 affected without due legal condemnation and 

 compensation. Provision is made for the crea- 

 tion of irrigation districts, which are authorized 

 to construct ditches and works, to borrow money 

 and issue bonds, and to levy taxes to nay for 

 such works. The charges for water supplied by
