ROLL OF HONOR.
The following gentlemen have
the thanks of all for having intro.
duced no bills: Hon. T. S. Smith,
speaker; Carson, Cooke, Darroch,
Dashiell, Davis, (Abe Lincoln),
middleton, Martindale, Mcneil,
Nix, Seago, Tarver and Whitacre.
OF all those who have tried to
save their country Mr.. Charles j.
Stubs has the honor Of having in
PRODUCED the most bills, his num-
Der being placed at II. This is
not to be taken as his stand on the
age of consent, however.
During the past week the men,
bers Of the Senate have appreciated
to its fullest extent what legis.
alive intimidation means. They
have had up for discussion the bill
fixing the age Of consent. The
committee substitute fixed the age
at IA, thereby raising it from II
years. This substitute it was
agreed to be supported by all the
Senators, but as soon as it was
placed before the members in the
Senate chamber, quite a number
flow the track and tried to make it
Is years. The cause of this was
verify one Of intimidation. On
the day in which the discussion
was opened so grim visaged and
determined women, all of them
members Of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union and most OF
them from Kansas and other
States, doomed up in the Senate
chamber. They all lined up in a
circle on the north side OF
the chamber and there thew
sat throughout the discussion as
grim as death itself and as re.
morseless. These women were
present by the order of their leader
and their sole object for being
present was to intimidate the Sen
ators and force them against theil
better judgment to raise the con.
sent to eighteen years. Any one
who glanced even in casual man
