THE LEG I SLA TURE What our Busy Lawmak ers are Doing at xhe Capital (Jity- Senate January 17th. The Governor seiit in mes sage containing evidence of the case in the removal of the Wil sons from "the office of. Railroad Commissioners. Eleven new bills and resolu tions were introduced. Among the bills were the following : By Senator Lowe : to prevent impositions on attorneys.

By Senator Miller : to exempt ex-Confederate soldiers from the payment of peddler's li cense, also one to repeal chap ter 105, laws of 1895. House January 19th In the House the interesting feature of the day was the dis cussion of the bill to give Hert ford County a better govern ment. Snipes, the member from Hertford, opposed the bill on the ground that the offi cers of the county were all white and that the county was out of debt and prosperous, but stated that if any of the officers were negroes he would be for the bill. This remark brought the colored, member, Isaac H. Smith, of Craven to his feet and asked his fusion friend from Hertford what he meant by that remark. Smith told him that he (Snipes) held his seat by virtue of negro votes and now his first act was to turn his back upon them. Smith ad dressing the speaker said : ' 'when I speak I represent half a million people ; when you peak you represent 1,600,000 of souls ; when he speaks (point ing to Snipes) I dont know how ; many he represents. I shall vote for the bill and hope it 1 will pass." The bill was put upon its final passage. All the fusiouists voting against it and all the Democ.iats for it except one. Smith from Craven voted for it. The bill gives e i g h t commissioners to the county. Forty new bills, were intro duced.

Pepper Pointers. The Difference Between Black and the White Kinds. the Very few housewives seem to understand the differenber be tween the black and the white pepper, and why the latter. is superior. The black pepper is the most commonly used in sea soning. This is the coarse pep per made by grinding the pep percorn with the outer shell or husk on it. White pepper, on the contra ry, is made of perfectly ripened peppercorn after the husk has been removed, and is in every way superior in flavor to black pepper, though it is not quite so pungent. White pepper costs but a tri fle more than black and does not disfigure a white soup or sauce as black pepper does. It is interesting to recall the fact that this simple condiment was so costly in the middle ages that rents were sometimes paid in a pound of peppercorns, de livered at certain times. The term "a peppercorn rent" still lingers in modern jurispru dence, and means a nominal rent. ' The Portuguese, who former ly controlled the pepper market of the world, were influenced more, it is said, by their desire to obtain an abundant supply of pepper than by anything else in their effort to discover a short passage to the Indies. In 1498, when the passage round the Cape of Good Hope was finally discovered, pepper went down in price. Nepaul pepper is a delicious, delicate kind of red pepper. The red pepper known as cayenne pepper takes its name from Cayenne, a seaport town, and the capital of French Gui ana, on the northwest extremity of the Island of Cayenne, and near the mouth of the river of that name. The pepper is not prepared from- a peppercorn, but from the dried fruits of various spe cies of plants kuown as capsi cum. All these fruits have a very strong, pungent flavor. The annual or common capsi cum the Guinea pepper plant was taken to Europe by the Spaniards and grown in Eng land in 1548. Cayenne pepper is manu factured from the ripe fruits, which are dried, ground, mixed with wheat flour and made into cakes with yeast. These cakes are baked until hard like bis cuit, and then ground and sift ed. The pepper is sometimes prepared by simply drying the pods and pounding them fine in a mortar. Ex. Kansas Slaughter Bill. The Populist Legislature of Kansas, which is spending its last days and several thousand dollars in an extra session, says The St. Paul Dispatch, i3 strug gling with a capital punishment bill. In that State the law pro vides death as the punishment for murder, but also makes the Governor's signature to a death warrant necessary to the legali ty of a hanging. Until the Governor signs such a warrant the murderer is declined in State prison. It happens tha all th.; iv Kisas Governors in re cent yvars have b.-en opposed to the death -penalty and have signed no such warrants. Con sequently soiti' I9 murderers have accumulated in the oer.i- tenti.irv. Tiieir lives have been ! at the mercy of the Governor , holding olljce tin ring the sever al periods of thnr imprison- j ment. j A case of ih; heinous crime of parricide has called the at-j tention of this Legislature toj the anomalous state of the law! and the Populist legislators are discussing a remedy. A bill j has been introduced, though it I may not pass, to restore the death penalty and make the law effective. The incoming Re publican Governor is required to sign the warrants of all the prisoners now detained in pris on. There are 49 of them, and their speedy execution would satisfy the most ; ardent cham pion of capital punishment- GENERAli NEWS. Items! of Interest Gathered froml all parts cf the world.
