= ooncerned. There is no apparent

= Congress to do anything. The Rea
g,n bill has passed the House by fiat

mo expectation that the Senate will
-oncb II or that il will ever become q
low for three potent reasons. II is IN
iibeIy that the Senate could dispose OF
# during the time that now remains OF
he short session. The Senate has bill
an the same subjec', which, however
inns at the creation of a commission to
.ettle disputes, and should it pass that
5oly the House ertainly will not agree
oa Bill which pr yides for the creation
Il another OF those bodies called com
mission, which are already notorious for
heir sympathy with those who
anpress, and which are conspicuous
for their failures to do anything in
5ehalf of the people whose condition it
-ss ostensibly contemplated to amelio-
-ate from the neutrality-suspicious. of
mOnopolists, while the third reason as
ygned for the firm belief that the Senate
villnot pass Reagan's bill, is that the
Senate has too much money in itself
and is TOO much in sympathy with the
actions of the OppTessors against whom
Reagan has been working. A fiimsy
effort at consolation is attempted by the
declaration that the mere passage OF the
Dill by the House will have the effect oil
soaring railroad kings into becoming
conduct. The railroad animal does not
scare in any such way. 1t knows the
power OF money and it knows also that
the Senate viii not pass the bill, but
will offer that Well-picked bone called a
commission with which to stop the
snarling of the public whelp. As re-
suit they will not ameliorate. William
Walter Phelps has made two efforts on
the subject, and his speeches at
IraCted q great deal of the wandering
inattention for which the members Of
me House are aStonishingly remarkable.
He asked for instances OF oppression.
The course of the Union Pacific with
regard to Utah might have been pointed
out to him, and would have given him
some enlightenment, OF what internal
and scoundrelly robberies a railroad
corporation can be guilty. Had clear
statement been made, 1 ween the bangs
Of William Walter would have turned
wrong side up. 1t must be q joyless
satisfaction to Judge Reagan to feel that,
despite all his toll and labors, his meas
IRE sholld prove absolutely yalueless,
lOr the reason that moneYed Senate
gill not pass it. 1t is not surprising,
however, when we contemplate the fact
that It IS possible for thing like Massa-
chuSetts Hoar to be a member of that
body.
Talking about Hoar reminds me of a
thing l heard the other day regarding
this intellectual and moral levi
sthau. He is, by the grace Of
we'll, he is called a lawyer. Some
poor soul entrusted him with case not
long ag0-a case to be determined by
the Sapreme Court of the United
States. 1t is and was his only case, and
he kept tTotting in aud out of the clerks
room every few hours, inquiring as to
the progress of a suit that could not
progress any further till the date of its
arguing before the court. So persistent
and incessant were the attentions of
boar, that he finally reminded one of
those who was sick of him, of an old
her with one little chick. Any one who
knows Hoar will enjoy this. It is ex-
actly fitting to the great Massachusetts,
statesman, who has been referred to in
connection with his brother, as the
lesser prostitute.
every day +be newspapers contain
e0iumns OF details of the proceedings of

Ahother event, approaching in i'm

1tsaILly az the same time-the dedication

I Trtues. The result is likely to be that
Washington for about three or four

present an unusually animated appear
