ond, objected. The yeas aud nays
were demanded on the motion to
table. The speaker voted yes as o
member with the railroad strikers,
and voted again sH presiding oth:er,
dto'sriog tho motion to table carried by
one ma ority. Great excitment fol
lowed. 1t IVES coon discovered on
comparison of the journal, that the
motion to table was lost, and
the speaker so declared finally.
The motion recurred on Sessions
amendment to increase tho number OF
house members to six. Sessions again
harragued the house. He was follow
ed by Grout, of Otoe, who could see
no use of this special committee since
the railroad committee of which he
was chairman could cooperate with
the senate committee. johnson of
Saunders, another lawyer, followed in
the same strain. General Holman
made a powerful appeal to the house
to stand by tho original senate r~so-
luton, as that would afford the PEI lie
and Legislature an..insight into railr vad
management. Nettleton also ma, Il q
brief but telling speech sgsinet he
amendment. Tne yeas and nays we're
called and the amendment was defeat.

No sooner had the applause which
followed the declaration of the result
subsidized than the speaker announced
the following committee: circuit, Steph-
enson, Gray, and Britton. There
was great indignation amongst the
supporters of the Nettleton resolution
over this selection. Every nan of
The four had voted against the resolu.
ton and waa a pronounced enemy of
tho proposed investigation. By COM
mon courtesy and parliamentary usage
the chair should have appointed Mr..
Nettleton, but he not only snubbed
him but insulted the entire houue by
the election he made. 1t is q bold
attempt on the part of the speaker as
chief capper of the railroads
TO THROTTLE LEGISLATION.
Members who have placed them
selves on record with him on this test
vote will find it hard to explain to
their constituents If they were elected
anti.monopolists.
