the change in gas stock where the light had
been introduced, and thought that sooner or
later there would be depreciation in the stock
in this city. In view of this fact he introduced
an order that special joint committee be APP

ing the city gas stock, with the understanding
that the proceeds shall be used towards the
liquidation of the city debts maturing next
year and in the future.

The more we have read of the cour
d'etat which displaced Senator Robert
son as president pro tenn of the Senate
in the recent special term Of the Legis-
lature, the more are we convinced OF
it's seeming unfairness and injustice.
No fault was found in Senator Robert
son as a presiding officer, and no
charges were uttered against his party
fealty when the caucus of nineteen
Senators announced their intention OF
displacing him. The member who
nominated Mr.. Walton did "damn
Senator Robertson with faint praise "
but that was poor consolation for so
summary and unexpected proceed
ing. The Senate should have, at least,
given Senator Robertson proper notice
of their intended action, so that he
might have marshalled his friends and
supporters to meet the attack. As
there is constitutional question in
volved in this matter, as to whether
Senator Robertson had become per-
manent officer by his election at the
first regular session, the question
should be. and doubtless will be
brought before the next regular session
of~the legislature in May. Senator
Robertson ia to bo commended by his
constituency for not consuming the val
liable time of the extra session in de-
Tending his conceived rights, and op-
posing seeming injustise and it is
nothing but simple justice, for the
whole subject to be Investigated in the
regular session. IF president pro tenn.
can be elected at every session, we say
that DR.. Robertson should have a
chance with full Senate in session !;
and if he became constitutional officer
by his election in the first session, he
should be reinstatsd. Let justice be
done.
