MIR. WILSON'S AMENDMENT.

The house passed Wednesday the
amendment of Judge WILSON, of Min
nesota, to the interstate commerce bill.
The amendment is an important one.
and reproduced from the GLOBE of yes
t9rday is as follows:
That where any railroad company hereto
tore incorporated, or which may be lncor-
porated by act of congress, has built or con-
structed and operates. or shall do so, through
the territorial limits of any state or territory.
the rates charged FOR the transportation of
property and passengers for traffic within
the limits of said state or territory ana the
tariffs and schedules thereof, shall be subject
TO the legislatures of the several states and
territories across or into which such roads
are operated, anything in the charter of such
road, or any national or state or territorial
law TO the contrary Notwithstanding. Sec
uon provides that the first section shall
be limited in its operation, and shall apply
only 10 the carriage and transportation OF
passengers and property wholly by railroad
Cor by railroad and water when both are used
unGer a common management from one
station 10 another station, both being within
The limits of the same state or territory, and
shall in no case apply 10 any commerce be-
tween the states, territories, or into foreign
countries.
How the amendment will fare in the
senate, it is impossible to say. If the
Democrats were in position to handle
the subject according to their will, there
would be no doubt of its becoming a
law. 1t has become practice with rail-
roads. in fixing their schedule of charges,
to put the rate at all the traffic will bear.
All pretense of justice is thrown aside.
Combinations have been formed to vic
timize the producer and consumer alike,
but the right of all men to be treated on
equal terms has been boldly denied.
Not only within the limits of states have
special rates been given, which meant
the ruin of individuals and even towns,
for the enrichment of other individuals
and towns in whose prosperity the rail-
roads felt an interest; but, embOldened
by years of immunity, the spectacle has
been presented of these common car
riers discriminating between state and
state-a thing which the constitution
directly declares shall not be done. All
of this the Democrats denounced in con-
gress and out of it, and succeeded at
last in passing the interstate commerce
law. But while the law in itself was a
great piece of legislation, experience
has shown that new and important
features can be added to it. One of
these is Mr.. Wilson's amendment.
Without weakening railroad enterprises
or Iessening the profits of capital hon
estly invested, it will strike fatal blow
to abuses which can be met only by state
legislation.

DEMOCRACY AND MONOPOLY.

The present political contest is be-
tween Democracy and monopoly. The
issue is revenue reform. 1t will call
out all the immense power of the sub
sidiZed OligarchiStS against US. 1t will
impel them to stop at no cost OF crime
TO accomplish our defeat. Their power
can not be too well understood. They
have their representatives i'll both
houses of congress. The letters of Mr..
HUNTINGTON published two years ago
and written when the Texas Pacific
subsidy bill was before the national
legislature illustrate the extent of cor
ruption in our lawmakers which may
be exercise by only one mOneyed enter
prise. Legislatures are their prey.
They bought the presidential election
eight years ago. They stole the pre-
ceding one. They will buy this one if
they can.
There is only one power greater than
monopoly. 1t is the power of a
thoroughly aroused and indignant peo-
pie. There is no withstanding such a
power. The most gigantic despOtisms
go down before it. The Shackles of
wrong and oppression and mammon are
broken like straws by its breath. The
people can sweep these things aside
as insects are swept away by the wing
of the tempest.
Men may be bought, but the masses
of the people cannot be. Once alive to
the true condition of affairs in this
country, and they will sweep the tariff
barons, the railroad cOrruptiOnistS, the
trust robbers, from their path like
chatf Their gold will melt before
popular wrath. And there never
was a time when the people
were so nearly aroused as now.
The discussion of practical politics
within the last few months has widely
spread enlightenment and intelligence
among them. Day by day the appreci-
alton of this subject grows broader and
clearer. 1t is only necessary for the

COLES collie.

1t is amusing to watch man trying
to swallow himself, almost as humorous
as to see fellow trying to lift himself
over a fence by Juggling at his own
boot-straps. 1t is performance of this
kind that Hon. GORDON E. COLE is now
engaged in. He is making a vain effort
to make his position as chairman of the
committee on resolutions in the late
Republican convention consistent with
his past tariff record. 1t can't be done,
General, and you may just as well own
up. If you keep on trying to get your
selfinside of yourself you will have a
case of collie, as sure as you are born.

Straight journalism is one thing and
partisan Journalism is another. A fair
illustration in point was the failure of
the Pioneer Press yesterday to publish
the corrected election returns from
Maine. Maine is state where all the
election machinery is in the hands OF
the Republicans; and yet, with all the
dOctoring that the Republican managers
have been able to give the returns, they
fail TO bring the Republican vote, or
the Republican majority, up to what it
was four years ago. There is a falling
of in the vote, and very decided falling
OF in the majority. The result OF the
recent election in Maine gives the
blacklist sort of an eye to the protection
vagary, and the failure of the Pioneer
Press in this instance to give its read
ers what they are entitled to have, the
news straight and true, is pretty clear
evidence that this afOretime free trade
journal has been suddenly metamor-
phOSed with partisan protection organ.

COnferees on the Sundry Civil APP
preparation Bill Settle Their
Differences.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE con-
ferees on the sundry civil appropriation
bill have reached conclusion upon all
the points of difference between the
two houses. The following statement
covers all of the items of general inter-
est which were in dispute: The pro-
vision for the widow of Prof.
Baird is reduced from $4,000
to $4,000, the appropriation for
the congressional library stands at
100000, the provision for storage reser-
v0irS in arid regions is reduced to $780,
900. In respect to this matter the house
had inserted provision reServing from
settlement the public lands which
would be benefited by irrigation from
these reservoirs. To this has >been
added in conference a proviSO that the
president may, at any time in his dis
erection. by proclamation open these res
ervoir lands to settlement under the
homestead law. The appropriation tor
educational purposes in Alaska stands at
100000. The following provisions are
stricken out entirely: Survey of Mex
lean boundary, 100000; appropriation
for pOStoffice site in Washington, that
for extension of the government print
ing office, and for the geological park,
and for the purchase of Battery island
for a station at the mouth of the Sus-
quehannah. The provision for public
printing remains as it comes from the
house, the senate increase of Sl5O,000
having been disagreed to.
At the evening session the house
passed thirty-two private pension bills,
and at 80 adjourned until Monday.

ing the great danger to the Republican
vote growing out of the activity of that
read it? Mr.. Hoar-I will not.
Mr.. Payne-l guessed you would
not. MIR. Hoar-I am not very much
moved to any feeling that de-
serves to be described as Indignation
or anger. or anything above the feeling
of contempt by the utterances that have
Just come from the senator from Ohio.
The history of that senator's accession
to this body Is fresh in the memory of
the country. Mr.. Payne remarked that
the action of the senate in the matter
last alluded to had been a condemna-
ton of Mr.. HOar's position in it, and
added that if that senator was possessed
by the ''cOncelt" that his partisan dis
cuSslOns were fair and honorable, that
conceit was confined pretty much to the
senator himself. Further on Mr.. Hoar
exclaimed: ''Mr. President, the sena-
tor from Ohio is
DISORDERLY AND INSOLENT
in his style of Interruptions. 1t is GER
tainly not becoming in him to ask my
courtesy for such Interruptions. The
whole style of them belongs to the low
GROCERY rather than to the senate.
Mr.. Butler submitted to the presiding
officer (Mr. lngallS) whether that style
of debate was in order. Mr.. HOar-lf
L have said anything out of order, L
withdraw it. 1.-The whole co!loquy."
said the presiding officer, ''has been dis
orderly from the beginning; but the
chair has had often, within the last
week or fen days, to call attention to
proceedings that were disorderly, and
does not desire to be called upon daily
to rebuke violations of order" The
disputation between the two senators
continued for some time longer.
The house bill to enlarge the duties
of the department of agriculture and to
create all executive department of ag-
riculture was taken up, discussed at
some length and final action on it post
pOned till Monday next. Among the
bills passed were: House bill author
izing the postmaster general to adver-
tiSe for and purchase improved regis
tered mail locks and keys, house bill
providing boards of arbitration to settle
differences between interstate railroads
and their employees upon written appll-
cation OF either party to the contro-
versy; house bill appTOpriatin9 $4,000
for the construction of a public building
at WATERFOWL, n. Y; house bill for
the investigation of the mining debris
question in the state of California.
Also the senate bill to declare forfeited
certain lands granted to the state of
Michigan to aid in the construction of a
railroad from OntOnagOn to the WiscOn-
sin state line, and senate bill authOriZ-
ing citizens of Colorado, Nevada and
the territories to fell and remove tim
Der Oh the public domain for mining
and domestic purposes. At $40 p. IN.
the senate adjourned until Monday.

Some Statistics Relative to Con-
victions and Pardons for Polyg-
amy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-In answer
to the resolution introduced by Dele
gate Dubois, calling for information
respecting convictions and pardonS for
polygamy, the attorney general has re-
piled in communication, in which he
says that under the provisions of the
anti pOygamy law of 1882 and its
amendments there have been in the ter
ritOry of Utah 40 convictions for polyg-
amy, adultery and unlawful cohabita-
ton, with fines imposed, and thirty
convictions where the sentence was
Imprisonment without fine, making
a total for the territory of 800 In Idaho
there was total of eighty-nine cases.
There have been fourteen pardonS
granted by the president to persons con-
victed under the aforementioned acts,
which, as shown by incloSed tabulated
statements, were generally made upon
the recommendation of court and terri
tOrial officials on the grounds of old age,
ignorance of the law and extreme pow
erty. There was one conviction in
Utah in 1873, one in 1881, four i'll 1884,
fifty-fve in 1885, 1872 in 1886, 220 in 1887

standing that the Western committees

that an extra effort is to be put forth

CRITICS REBUKED.
The New York Board of Health
Discusses the Proctor Case.


New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE board of
health held a protracted session to-day
with closed doors. 1t is well understood
that there was long discussion concern
ing the treatment, medical and hygienic,
of the late Prof. Richard A. Proc
tor. 1t has reached the ears of Pres
ident Babies that certain physicians
have criticized the action of the board
id his case. He was removed from the
hotel in a drenching rain. He had
already been two days and half
in the hotel suffering from the disease.
All the mischief had been done, if any,
so far as the other guests were col
cerned, and it would have made mat
tiers no worse by leaving him there
until the storm was over. Cold or
dampness is SAID to quickly terminate
the life of patient so afflicted. In
view of this comment the board has sent
out this letter:
ITO the public The board of health does
not feel called to discuss the matter of Prof.
Proctor's death or sickness or the manage
ment Of the case with anyone having no
official responsibility in the matter
The total amount to-day received by
Mayor Hewitt for the Jacksonville Suf-
ferers was S1,201.25, making a grand
total of S29,20l.10.

COX CALLS A CAUCUS.
Good Prospects for an EARLY Adj

a
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA call has
been issued by Chairman Cox, of the
caucus committee, for a caucus of
the Democratic members of the
house, to be held in the
hall of the house of representatives
next Tuesday evening. The order of
business for the remainder of the ses-
sion is to be considered and also the
proposition of Mr.. Oates for all adjourn
ment of congress on the Goth inst.
Most of the members of both sides of
the house believe that an agree
ment will be reached for an adjourn
ment of congress, but that the day fixed
upon will not be earlier than the 10Th
or 27th. The Star has the following:
'The understanding is that the
general deficiency bill will be acted
upon promptly by the senate so
as to dispose of it finally next week.
The tariff question will be the only
thing then in the way of adjournment.
Senator Sherman'S remarks in the SEN
ate to-day are construed to mean that
there will be no tariff bill reported to
that body. The latest report, taking
these things into account, predicts an
adjournment of congress within ten or
twelve days.
