Is this misleading, or do you really
mean the words for blame? have
heard Christ, in the pulpits Of ou1
church, held up for imitation on the
ground that His sacrifice was voluntary.
Does DR.. Hyde think otherwise?
Damien did not stay at the settle
ment, etc.
1t is true he was allowed many indul-
gences. Am I to understand that you
blame the father for profting by these
or the officers for granting them? In
either case it is a mighty Spartan stand
ard to issue from the house on Beretania
street, and I am convinced you will
find yourself with few supporters.

taste more pleasurable sense Of con-
trast than when he passes from Damien 8

tell you that, to mind not prejudiced
by jealousy. all the reforms of lazaretto,
and even those which he most vigorous
ly opposed, are properly the work of
Damien. They are the evidence Of his
success; they are what bis heroism pro-
voked from the reluctant and the care
less. Many were before him In the
field; Mr.. Meyer, for instance, of whose
faithful work we hear too little; there
have been many since; and some had
more worldly wisdom, though none had
more devotion than our saint. Before
his day even you will confess that they
had effected little. 1t was his part, by
one striking act Of marty dom, to direct
all mems eyes on that distressed coun-
try. At a blow, and with the price of
his life, he made the place illustrious
aud public. And that, if you will con
siier largely. was the one reform need

we may charltably fancy, to excess. It
was to your ''dear brother" the Rev.

shamed the author Of your days? and
that the last thing you would doswgtould
be to publish it in the religious press?

BACK TO BUSINESS.
Mr.. MCCULLOUGH offered 1.-THE follow
ing resolution: ri
THAT, WHEREAS, 1t is claimed that the
railroads doing business in this state are
discriminating against shippers and charg-
ing eXorbitant rates for transportation and
freight; therefore, be it ~
Resolved, That the railroad commission
ers be requested to investigate said
charges and. report to this legislative as
sembly as soon as possible, II that said
commissioners be given power to send for
persons and papers and compel the attend
ance Of witnesses to testify before said
commissioners regarding the subject mat
ter Of this resolution.
MIR. STEVENS opposed Hthe resolution
on the ground that the railroad committee
had already been given that power.
MIR. MCCULLOUGH: Mr.. Stevens says
he is not in favor Of appointing a commit
tee one day and the next day taking it
from them. A few days ago he got up
here and urged that a committee be ap-
pointed to investigate the questions that
should nave gone before the railroad COM
mittee. He,waS the author Of the special
committee, and yesterday he was the man
who moved that it be put out of existence.
Mr.. STEVENS: l have not in the past
said anything %derogatory to the railroad
commission. SO far as the special commit
tee, of which MI. Mccullough is a member,
is concerned, it was the resolution of Mr..
Walsh that legislated it out OF existence.
With regard to the railroad commissions,
mr.. Stevens said the law prescribed its
duties and it should not be necessary to
pass a resolution of this character. The
resolution is a reflection on the commissions.
MI. WILLIAMS: AS I understand it,
Mr.. Stevens simply introduced the fresolu-
ton for the appointment Of the special
committee as a matter of fairness.
MI. WILLIAMS said that he did not
believe the house had the power to send
for persons and papers by resolution.
The resolution was passed.
MIR. COLE moved hat the rules be sus-
pended and that senate bill No. 81, extend
ing the time for the payment of taxes, be
read The third time and placed upon its
final passage. -r.
