THEDEMOCKACY ArALBANY.

The Democratic majority in the State
Senate are acting like band of prOdigals
who have come into a large fortune,
without merit or exertion of their own,
and who, with vicious tastes and reckless
habits previously acquired, are squan-
dering it in every direction. The
Democrats having got their majority by
means that are disgrace to the party,
and an especial disgrace to every one i'm
Heated, have deliberately refused to adopt
an adequate body of rules that would Sc
cure fair action and protect the rights
and interests of the people. The chef
purpose of this omission is to preserve
for the majority the unchecked power
given by the operation of the previous
question in the absence of the rdles fix
ing conditions as to reports by commit
tees, etc. A most amazing example of
this abuse was given on Thursday in the
treatment of the Enumeration bill. One
bill had been introduced on this subject
and referred to the committee. On
Thursday the committee was discharged
from its consideration, Substitute was
offered, and under the rulings, of the lieu
tenant governor was rushed through the
Senate. The bill had not been printed.
1t had not been reported on by the com
mt &c, which, as Il committee, hal never
C nSidered or even seen it. When the
vote was taken three Republican Senators
refused to vote upon it, THIN, under one
of the few rules adopted by the majority
these three Senators were declared in
contempt" and were suspended from
further participation in all proceedings
of the body of which they are duly-elect-
ed members. -NeD York Times.

EDMUNuS LECTURES HE COURT.

Ex-senator Edmunds astoniShed the
United States supreme court, Wednes-
day, by disputing its decision in the
Rutland jug Case" the technical pro-
ceedings of which were carried up first
from Iowa in motion on Original
packages"
The case of John O'Neil, Whitehall
liquor dealer, whom the Vermont courts
undertook to punish for shipping liquor
from Whitehall to Rutland, was up
The ex-senator appeared as counsel for
Vermont and ex-AttOrney General Gar
land for 0, Neil. The ht.r argued that
the decision i'll the original package case
governed in O'Neils case.
Elk Senator Edmunds, with an apology
for c,iticiSlng the court, told the justices
bluutly that their decision in the Iowa
case was erroneous and dangerous to the
peace and security of the people of the
States. The true line of dem lrcltiOn
between the rights of the nation and the
States in regard to interstate commerce
was that when goods have reached their
final destination, where they are either
to be consumed OF to remain. they are
subjccC to the State laws just as though
raised III the State or made in the State
or born i'll the State.

The application of the principle of
profit sharing to railroads is a step that
probably few of the friends of that the
DRY expected to see realized, at least in
the immediate future. Yet the annual
report of the President of the st. Louis,
and Terre IIaute Railroad urges the
adoption of that very thing, and a meet
ing of the Board of Directors has been
called to especially see how the plan can
be put into practical operation Presi-
dent Parker calls attention to the fact
that the principle of profit sharing may
really prove more successful with rail
roads than in any other business. Rail
roads are managed by those who own
own the property, not by hired servants.
The stockholders thus have speci Il in

stockholders in the matter of profits.

There was u good attendance and the
session was marked by some lively dis

platform demands:
l. A weekly payment bill.

4. A more equitat lie system of taxa
ton.
5. A law to make Labor Day a legal
