The COMMITTEES.
The Machinery Of Legislation Com
plated Today.
THE SENATE ADOPTS IT'S RULES.
Some Impor ant Bills In reduced in
the House This Aft L
noon.

There was much amused com ment
in the Senate today over the action OF
the House yesterday afternoon in re-
versng the ruling OF the Speaker
regarding the reading OF bills. One
senator expressed the opinion that
kenner prevailed upon the House to
reverse the Speaker "just to get even. !"
Two lawyers, conversing with a group
Of Senators, secuted the idea that a
bill must be read In full at Its first and
second readings.
The appointment OF tn, full list OF
atan ding committees In both houses
today, admits OF an immediate com
menoement OF the real work OF legis-
lation. The Governors message, tho
bills heretofore introduced by members
and the code bill, may now bs di.
vlded nnd appropriately referred. The
presiding officer of each house seems
to have exercised conscientious judg-
ment ana Discrimination in distribut.
ing the principal chsirmanships.
The Seuatespeut most OF the session
today in consiuering the code OF rules
reported by the committee on rulee.
Kenner believes In rehabiiitating
silver. Yesterday he introduced bill
to make silver legal tender, and TO-DAY
he iutroducei another to establish u
State depository of silver bullioI and
the issue OF tticates for silver bull
lion deposited there by citi-
zens the certificates to circulate
somewhat Is money. The general
opinion OF Legislators seems to be that
q State legislature can do little or
nothing In the way Of increasing the
use OF silver as money.
The House today insisted upon Its
action yesterday in deciding that all
bills must be read at length on their
first reading. Hence long and
sleepy sitting while The clerk monot-
onously read several bills.
The measure introduced by Repre-.
sentative Taylor reaijusting tue fees
paid by corr orations to tue secretary
OF state, Is an important measure, and
will,sflord justand needed reliefto cor.
porations havi0g large capital stock. Al
present the charge IL % cents for every
Thousand dollar, but TayloI's bill re.
duces thio by a graduating scale down
| to 10 cents on large amounts.

A Novel bridge at Rouen.
This novel engineering work is called
a"pont transbordeur'' and is designed
to fulfill all the purposes Of a bridge,
while it will offer no obstruction to the
passage Of ships with towering masts.
On each side of the river will be erected
a small Eiffel tower. about 40 feet in
height, and these towers will be joined
at the top by a latticework bridge upon
which lines Of rails will be laid. On
these rails will run a skeleton platform,
which al be pulled from side to side
by the agency Of steam or electricity.
From this platform, which will be 100
feet above the quays, will depend steel
wire ropes, which will support at the
level of the river banks a slun8 carriage
large enough to accommodate . tram car
full Of passengers, besides other vehicles.
It is intended that this novel form Of
bridge shall be in connection with the
tram system at both sides of the river,
8 70 that passengers car be carried across
the river without leaving their seats in
the cars. The work of building the tow
ers has already been commenced. and it
is expected that the bridge will be open
for traffic in Is months time. It is said
that the only continuance bearing any
resemblance to this ''pont transbor-
deur" is in operation at Bilbao. Cham

President Faure's departure from

s;gnalized by a bomb explosion and big
excitement against anarchists. Nothing
came OF it so far as tiuding the supposed
guilty n.hilist was concerned. On his
return the other day from Russia to Par
is, President Faure's procession was
again treated to a harmless bomb AK
plosion. People of course naturally
think that France is ~honeycombed with
anarchy. But it puts a different face
on affairs when it is known that this
bomb explosion business is an amusement
OF the French police themselves. just
what good purpose it serves is not
known, but as it hurts no one and is
supposed to terrorize the anarchists and
makes the duty OF the police easier they
have frequent ecourse to the ruse.

We ere asked Yesterday by prom

We were asked yesterday by promi-
neht republican if we thought the pre-
sent strike in the east wonld lead to a
revolution. The gentleman. we believe,
was serious in his question and appre-
neusive Of the outcome. We told him
we thought rot. Al. erlcau people are
too law abiding for such q thing. They
will suffer Il great deal in these days bt
fore they will revolute. Besides, 10000
starving miners would cut q sorry figure
in a revolution. They couldn't ever get
up al incipient rebellion. Uncle Sam
could Put a Gordon around them ia a few
hours that would pen them up as tight
as our noble boys were penned
up IN ALdersonyille We objected to the
restraint, by court in junction, Of these
men 10 clamoring for the Inherent right
of earning a livelihood by honest toll
and the suppression Of free speech IN
making their complaint. But here the
republican gentleman took issue with US
at once. And SO it goes. v lille he de-
rrecated revolution he defended warmly
the very methods and practices that III.
timately drive a people to riot
and resurrection. The process is slow
and it will be a long time before a law
abiding people like the Americans will
rise in arms against 1t. But it will
eventually come unless the po-
iitical and personal liberties of
the people are safeguarded. An
extreme court injunction or two may
force even a half starved mob to com.
promise on a very small margin of wages.
but gradually it will be taken advsnt-
age of by the greed of capital to force
greater concessions FROM time to time
from the toiler until his lot does become
unbearab!e. ard then? AS yet, however
but Il SMALL proportion Of our popule-
ton is reduced to this condition and
therefore, revolution is not imminent,
however much you III ny hear Of it.
