hour, Mr.. Smith of Gates rose to a
question of personal privilege. He read
the editorial in THE CAUCASIAN of
yesterday headed startling" and said
that the bill referred to i'm this editori-
al was bill introduced by myself.
The bill was introduced early i'm the
session, referred to the judiciary COM
mittee and reported favorabiy, and
passed the second reading, and on mo-
tion without objection was referred
to the judiciary committee. In nv
absence at nome, l was informed
through the papers that the bill was
reported adversely by the committee
on railroads and railroad commission.
do not know by what means the bill
got before that committee
In my absence the bill was tabled
Upon my motion the bill was taken
from the table and re-referred to the
judiciary committee. Since that time
l have not been able to find the bill.
and it has not yet reached the iudici-
airy committee, the members of which
are in no way responsible for the loss.
l make no charge except simply to
state the facts, and l have no informa-
ton that would Justify me in making
the charge that the bill has been
stolen.
The bill referred to is that mention
ed in this mornings CAUCASIAN. but 7
am In no way connected with that ar
ticle, and am not here to defend The
CAuCASIAN in MAKING opy oh,ux. -.
