l.. FUNNY THINGS ABOUT PASSES.
The senate yesterday aftern Don indefin
ite,y postponed the anti-pass bill. AT thi:
| late day in the session it is scarcely
| probable that the matter viii be taker
| up again, and even If il should the house
| would never enact it. Yesterday. right
| in the midst OF the heated wrangle over
| the railroad bill, Sergeant-at-arms Duns-
| more distributed eleven envelopes of trir
| passes among the Populist members
| which ought 20 be an indication OF most
| anything other than the passage Of an
| anti-pass law. Only one member OF the
| lower house rejects the luxury OF free
| rides on the railroads and he has already
