dispute

about which dispute has
arisen was authorized by the State of
Wisconsin by an act of the Legislature of
1887, appropriating $4,000 for statue Of
Pere Marquette Nothing was done In
the matter until after Mr.. Villas was
elected 60 the Senate in the Fifty-second
Congress. Senator Mitchell, then men,
Der Of the House, had introduced in that
body joint resolution providing that
Congress should accept from the State
of Wisconsin a statue Of Marquette. the
resolution referring to him as THAT
faithful missionary
This resolution passed the House and
was sent to the Senate, where 1t was hold
for year, because of the belief OF some
Senators that it WAS improper, on the
grounds that Marquette was not Citizen
cf the State that donated the statue, and
that, to that extent at least, 1t did not
comply with the original law. Mean
time, in the winter of 1898. the Legisla-
ture OF Wisconsin passed joint resolu-
tion earnestly requesting the Wisconsin
Senators to secure the passage OF the reso-
luton Of acceptance. Under such instIuc-
tions the Senators from that State set
aside their own personal opinions in the
matter and urged the adoption OF the
resolutions. They reached Mr.. Villas, In
the Senate, at SO late an hour that he
was only able to secure their passage
March 8, 1898, during the closing hours
of Congress. They failed to receive the
signature of the President ON account of
the mass of legislative business that
reached him within few hours of the
constitutional period for the dissolution
of the Con gress.
During the extra session Of the Fifty
third Congress the resolutions vera
again presented and passed the House
October II, 1893 They went to the Sem
ate on the same day, and on that day
they were agreed to by the Senate. with
the amendment that this statue was to
be considered as one of the two to which
The President signed this joint resolu-
tion and it became the law, thus closing
the whole transaction 80 far as the Con-
gress had anything to do with 1t. 1t
only remained for the State Of Wisconsin
to prepare and set up the statue.
The objections which have been made
to the statue, particularly against the
robes of the Jesuit which are promi-
nent feature of the work, have caused the
great interest which is now taken in the
statue. There has been some talk of vio-
lence to the work, and 1t has been re-
ported that 1T was guarded day and
night. If this is SO the guarding is
done very unobtrusiyely and attracts no
attention. Representative Linton, of
Michigan who has been SO outspoken
against the presence Of the statue, thinks
that Wisconsin may withdraw it,
There Will probably be no formal cere-
1t was accepted by the last Congress, so
at most, little would be left to be done
now but TO unyeil it, which has already
been done without formalities. The Wis
consin delegations in Senate and House
may at future date offer some remarks.

where brutality and homicide have been per-
mitted and for its cowardly vacillating and
contradictory course in attempting to enforce
the laws at some times and places and failing
to attempt TO enforce them at other times
and places.
While we expect and demand that our pub
liz officials shall do as they have sworn to do
in carrying into effect the will of the people
as expressed in legislation. we especially de-
mand that the attorney general of the state
take measures to secure the enforcement of
section 1152 of the statutes of 1895, which pro-
hibits corporations from engaging in other
lines of business than those which are speci-
fed in their charters. and that railroad corpo-
rations be prevented from engaging in any
other business than that OF common carriers.
We condemn the unwarranted and unjust
determinations practiced by Kansas railroads
and enjoyed by favored shippers which are
destroying the business and prosperity of
those less fortunately situat ed and creating q
monopoly at the expense of the farmers and
producers of the state.
We are in favor of such legislation in Kan
sas as will secure 10 the people of this state
such reduction in charges by the transporta-
ton companies a. will place them on an equal
ity with similar charges pa id by the people of
Iowa, Illinois and other producing states, and
to that end we favor the enactment of maxi
mum freight ratio law and the election of a
board of railroad commissioners by the peo-
pie, with power to revise such maximum rates
from time to time in case of any inequality
therein, so as to make such charges fair and
reasonable, and whose duty it shall be to en-
force such rates as the actual charges by the
transportation companies.
We demand laws which shall prevent the
products of convict labor coming into compe-
tition with the products of free labor and re-
ducing its rewards.
We demand that all pu bile salaries shall be
reduced to correspond with the prices of labor
and it's products.
We demand that the supreme court clear its
docket in justice to the people.
