EXTRASESsIONAL NOTES.

The Senate Judiciary Committee. to which
was referred Knights concurrent resolution 10

When Senator Cross introduced his amend
ment to the income tax or penalty bill yeSter-
day, providing that no State Court should have

backing and filling by the radical branch of the
Democracy. nearly all of whom seemed particu-
larly anxio Is for delay. Nelson, Democrat of
conservative prOclivities. remarked rather sig
nifcantly: Now may be seen the effect of men
going into caucus and pledging themselves not
TO vote for any amendment to any bill coming
from this side of the Senate" 1t certainly did
look as if the so-called reformerS felt themselves
to be in Il tight place and desired an Oppor-
tunity to consult together upon the matter
before coming 10 Il vote on the amendment
The amendment was directly aimed to correct
one of the so-called evils connected with the
collection of taxes and about which so much
has been said. If the radicals had, Nelson
intimated, actually pledged themselves 10 op-
pose all legislation coming from the cOnserva-
tive Democrats or Republicans, they will either
have to undo their caucus work or go on record
as opposing some really meritorious and we'll
considered bills They will to-day have an
opportunity to show their hands.
