THE RAILROAD BILL.

The railroad blu has been defeated In
the senate. At this time II Is impossible
20 estimate correctly the causes that con-
spired to bring about this result. OF this.
however. there can be no doubt: the SEN
ate has failed In the performance Of
plain duty. II the bin as IL came from
the house was Objectionable by reason OF
its extreme provisions It should have
been amended and not entirely defeated.
The Republican party was pledged 20
reduction In railroad rates. the governor
recommended such o reduction In his mes
sage 10 the Legislature. and nine-tenths
OF the people of the state. regardless OF
their political affiliations, are In favor
of such a reduction. 1t seems Incredible
under such circumstances that reason
able measure could not have been framed
and passed. The motion by which tho
bill was defeated should be reconsidered
and an honest attempt made To so amend
the bill that IL can command the support
of the senate and of the house. The mem
beers OF the senate have serious duty
20 perform in this connection and they
should rise 10 the emergency.
