When the bill of DR.. Zier, relative to
pardoning board, was under considera-
ton. Senator Stevens spoke in favor of
the measure. He regarded it wise to
have a board, made up Of the governor,
chief justice of the supreme court and
the attorney general, to recommend
pardons. President Day asked if it
would be wise to submit so many
amendments to the constitution, this
being one Of a large number of such
bills. He thought that putting plenty
OF fringe on garment would some
times induce the wearer to hold it up.
Plenty of constitutional amendments
would induce the people to uphold it.
Senator Yale and others favored the
bill, and it was recommended to pass.
Senator Stevens bill to amend the
law relating to descent and distribution
was indefinitely postponed.
Senator Yale made a speech in favor
of the sugar bounty bill of Represent
ative Blagik. He discussed the advan-
tages likely to accrue to the state in
encouraging sugar beet culture and
hoped the time will come when the
manufacture of beet sugar in this state
will obviate the need of a large i'm
portation of beet sugar
Senator Stevens spoke in strong
terms of praise for the bill, and said
that beet culture in Nebraska has
grown largely. Several other senators
spoke favorably of the measure and it
was recommended for passage.
APRON IN POLITICS.
The woman suffrage bill brought Sen
ator Keller to the floor, loaded with a
speech which created amusement. He
thought the bill was aimed at the Ger
man people.
Senator Iltis spoke in much the same
strain, and claimed that women should
keep their places. He thought the
American women do not want to vote.
There are, in his judgment, only few
cranky women who want to make
speeches or to vote. He said that polit-
ical campaigns create animosities, and
women should not be drawn into such
contentious. He wanted to know how
the happy home would be affected If
the husband should be Democrat and
the wife Republican. He had too
much regard for women to want them
to vote or hold office, and believed in
Christianity and the Bible which placed
the man at the head of the family and
commanded the wife to obey her hus-
band
Senator Young quoted the constitu-
ton to show that the proposed law
would be invalid until an amendment
should be made.
Senator Yale thought Senator Hits
should be informed that women do
want to vote, and said 600 of them had
voted for school officers last week in
one ward of the city of Winona.
President Day said there seemed to
the country favoring woman suffrage,
and hoped that this educational law
would prevail.
The motion for indefinite postpone
ment was lost, and the bill was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee to
be amended SO as to provide for an
amendment to the constitution.
Senator Pottgieser's bill, proposing
! a constitutional amendment so as to
| elect probate judges for four years,
was discussed and recommended to
pass. The vote being taken upon a de-
mand for division. there were six
| teen votes each way, and Senator Steb-
| bins, who was in the chair, cast the
deciding vote, breaking the tie.

| to Itasca state park and to authorize
| the condemnation of land for such
| park was referred TO the finance com.

RAILROAD RATES.
| The senate committee on railroads
considered four bills at a meeting held
| late yesterday afternoon. Hearings
| were had upon all of them. Of these
| House File No. 295, introduced by Mr.
Jacobson, is designed to prevent rail-
| roads from charging excess for cars
overloaded with grain, and provides
| for marking cars to the height they
| may be filled with grain. Judge
| Chandler, of the milwaukee," road
| claimed that marking cars would not
be advantageous, as it would not be
| possible to draw a line to be correct
when the difference in the weight of
wheat or oats is considered. Mr. ia
cobson contended that it Isl only one or
two roads that the bill was designed
to reach, and that the Milwaukee road
is not one of these, The bill will be re-
ported back with a recommendation
| to pass.

bill, was amended at the suggestion of
