ing the senate, jocuarly it is true by the
great mass of members, but there are some
members who would like to make them
selves talked about, and it may be that
OF these will seriously introduce
a resolution to amend the constitution.
One of these, a young member in point OF
service. and one who has no hope of ever
getting to the senate, was talking in the
lobby of the house today:
the senator" said he, .gesticuiating ana
wearing a serious air. "Of what use is i

anyway, the senators are too far removed
from the people. They do as they please
and apparently do not fear the people. Look
how they are changing and holding back
our tariff bill They are rich men and are
always looking out for their interests in
corporations. They even have the nerve to
refuse to investigate their own members
when they are charged with specuiating on
inside information. Whenever they get an
opportunity they have no hesitancy in say
ing, the people be ID.

whose term expires IN 1897. But if Judge
C,ulberson declines to enter the race Mr.
Railev will, and Texans say he could easily

man and one of the strongest in the house

waiting until he can cross swords with
Senator Mills Senator Mills has not been
very clever to the young Texan. Indeed
Senator Mills is not popular with the
Texas delegation. He holds himself rather
above them. He does not associate with
them, and in consequence the representa-
tlyes do not feel very near or dear to him.
The best posted representatives from the
Lone Star State say Bailey, as young as
he is, could beat Mills before the people Of
the state. and all Of them would like to

To Prevent Interference.
Washington, March 14.-Mr. Diamond,
from the judiciary committee. reported to
the house today with the recommendation
that it pass, a bill to prevent interference
in the collection of state, county and munlc-
ipal taxes assessed against corporation
The measure, the report says, is designed
tc put corpora tionS in the hands of receiV-
ers appointed by judges and courts of the
United States. in the same condition with
respect to the collection of THESE taxes as
if no receiver existed. 1t often happens
that corporations by order of United States
courts, pass into the hands of receivers and
remain there for a number of years, during
which time taxes assessed against them and
their property are paid not paIu,
cordlng to their judgment and discretion, and
sometimes the caprice of the federal court.
By this practice corporations in the hands
of receivers are enabled to defer the pay
ment of taxes almost indefinitely, to the
great inconvenience and prejudice of the
states.
The committee is of the opinion that cor
porations in the hands of receivers should
not enjoy any greater immunity with
spect to payment of taxes than that which
their business outside of courts and without
receivers.
