AZ The senate of tho commonwealth
Of Massachusetts,, the other day, virtuously
refused to amend the anti. free-pass bill to
except members Of the legislature, but
saved their coveted p%erquisite by killing
the whole bill. The idea of getting
something for nothing is too precious to
the average Yankee t. permit SC good an
opportunity to slip. A rough estimate
Of the value Of the passes issued to the
two hundred and eighty members Of
both houses Of the legislature gives as
the cost, $4,000 "A year. Whether the
legislators are at all Influenced by such a
little thing as a pass or not, the railroads
which grant them evidently think that
they get their pay back, in some way
perhaps in the favorable temper Of the
legislature toward them. A proposition
looking to reformI in this matter was
preached in the Vermont house Of rep
resentatives by Mr.. Battell, of Ripton, il
1872, but the measure was hardly treated
respectfully. Evidently legislators arr
subject to the ordinary weaknesses o

WE DO not quite understand the re-
