THE Railroad Commission bills
have largely engrossed the attention
of the Senate this week and the
question is now before conference
committee of the two houses. The
House passed what is known as the
Thompson bill, which contained a
strong mandatory clause and pro-
vided for commissioners who should
give their entire time to the proper
enforcement of the law. When the
bill reached the Senate the railroad
lobby, after first carefully feeling
their way and finding they could not
defeat the bill by direct vote, I'M
dertOok to so emasculate it that it
would be Objectionable to the House,
and thus by postponement and sharp
practice prevent the Senate and the
House from agreeing. So far they
have succeeded and so far our
Senator Dabbs has helped them to
succeed. Upon all these amend
ments and substitutes, purposely
made to defeat any legislation what
ever upon the subject, Senator
Dabbs has voted with the Republi-
cans and the railroad lobby, and
against the spirit of his instructions,
though he may think to fool his
constituent; by the technical show
ing that he did finally vote for bad
ly emasculated and so-called COM
mission bill. II Senator Dabbs had
the faintest chance of any political
future, We might hope to punish
him for thus deliberately disregard
ing his instructions and violating

had been recorded as voting no, went
to the Clerk and insisted on its be-
ing changed. This was done, and
the journal shows the vote to be 10
to Is, tie, which, under the rules,
sustains the decision of the chair in
appeal proceedings. Mr.. Thompson
therefore moved that the Gilmore
bill be declared out of order and
that his amendment be taken up.
The chair ruled that the point of
order made by Mr.. Speaker Thomp-
son was well taken, and that the
further consideration of the Gill
more bill was out of order.
Mr.. Gilmore appealed from the de-
cision of the chair.
Mr.. Canada, in lieu, moved that
the journal be approved as read.
Mr.. Thompson moved to lay the
motion on the table,
Ayes and noes were called for and
the following was the result:
Ayes-Bate, Boyd, Claiborne,
Cline, Ellis, Evans, Gillian, Gum,
Hammer, Hurt, Lea, SmithsOn,
Waddell, Whitaker and Speaker
Thompson. Total, ID.
Noes-Bartlett, Butler, Canada,
Case, Collinsworth, Dabbs, Fitz-
gerald, Gilmore, Guild, Houk,
Mann, Taylor, Thomas and Upton.
Total, IA.
The question of the correction of
the journal then came up and it was
done without fight.
The Gilmore bill being out of or
der. Senator Thompson's amend
ment to the bill of Representative
Thompson, striking out all after the
caption and inserting the body of
the Senate bill known as the
Whitaker bill, came up.
Mr.. Gilmore offered another sub
stitute for the Thompson bill. This
substitute was the bill he had first
offered, with new sections added
creating the commission, and MAX
ing the Funding Board the. COM
mission eX officio.
Mr.. Thompson moved to lay the
substitute on the table, and his mo-
ton was carried by vote of Is to IA.
Then the question of Mr.. Thomp-
sons amendment, substituting after
the caption of the Thompson House
! bill that of the Whitaker bill, came
up. Every Senator on the floor
voted for it except Mr.. Keeney.
The bill then came up for passage,
and was spoke upon until a motion
to adjourn was made.
The Senate election bills came up
in the House and were passed. One
provides for the appointment OF
election commissioners in counties
having population of $4,000 and
over, and the other extends the pro-
visions of the Dortch law to all civil
districts, towns and cities of $500
population.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The Senate and House have at
last agreed upon the Constitutional
Convention bills and they now
await the signature of Governor
Taylor.
The bills provide that the question
of holding a convention shall be
submitted to the people to be voted
upon at an election to be held on the
first Thursday in August of this
year, and if the result of this cleo
ton is in favor of the convention,
the election of delegates to attend
the convention will take place on
the first Thursday in October, and
the delegates will meet in November
next to begin the task of framing
new constitution. Other amend
ments made by the Senate limit the
convention to seventy-five days, and
provide that the delegates shall not
be under % years of age and shall
receive only two dollars a day and
actual railroad expenses for one trip
going to and from the convention.
They also provide that the judges
and clerks of election shall serve
without compensation.
These amendments originated in
60 al he
stumbling block to a great deal of
reform legislation, and were imposed
upon the bills out of spirit of
hostility.
There are none of them of any
consequence, however, except the
one limiting the deliberations Of the
convention to seventy-five days
On matter of such transcendant
Importance to the State it was I'M
wise to limit the convention in re-
spect to the duration of their
deliberation. If the members of the
convention to be elected could not
be trusted to use only such time as
might be necessary to do their work
they will surely be unworthy of the
responsibility of framing our funda-
mental law.
But, however this may be, the
people will be called upon to vote
on this question in August next and
the HERALD will from time to time
continue to press this matter upon
their attention.
The virtue, intelligence and
patriotism of our people will be
brought to the test in this election
1t is a matter of vital Importance to
the progress and development o.
our State. The proposition to hole
the convention has already aroused
that class of opposition which re-
form of abuses always eXcites, anC
office-holders and fee-grabbers anC
their dependents and followers will
be found actively opposed to tn,
convention, while many of the jus
tees of the peace will make a f1nP
stand for their per diem and ques
tionable perquisites as members Of
the County Court.
Every effort, save that of legit.
innate argument, will be made b.,
such opposition to prejudice tn,
minds of the people against the
convention, but we believe tn,

DETAILS of the outbreak of Sun
day last at Toka, in the Sivas Dis
trict of Asia Minor, when the Turks
attacked the Armenians while the
latter were in church, show that
one hundred christians We're massa-
cred and the Armenian quarter and
Baszar were given over to pillage for
eight hours. These massacres of
Christians by the Turks have been a
matter of daily chronicle and yet
nothing has been done to put a stop to
these outbreaks; on the contrary the
"Great Christian Powers are now
engaged in protecting the Turk in
the pursuit of his butcheries in the
island of Crete, and have notified
plucky little Greece that she must
not interfere with the Turks in
alienable right to massacre, plumber

THE women of Kansas City have
the right to vote in municipal cleo
tions and in primaries, and they use
it very effectively too. Last week
B. l.. Short was candidate before
the Republican primaries for the
nomination of Mayor. But Mr..
Short had Tilted Miss Parsons, and
the women declared war on him.
Every hack in town was engaged in
bringing women to the polls to vote
against Short, and when the returns
came in he was very far short of the
nomination, and the iilting of Miss
Parsons was avenged. If the wo-
men would always use their ballots
to punish the moral delinquencies
of men it would be strong point in
favor of woman suffrage.

WE are sorry to see some feeling
being engendered between some of
our Aldermen and some of the tax
payers who differ with them on the
ACCESSIBILITY of issuing bonds. This
is purely business proposition, up
on which honest men may honestly
differ, and we see no reason why
the subject may not be discussed
dispassionately and without preiu-
dice. Nobody questions the honesty
of purpose or good intentions of the
Board, but as public officials their
acts are open to criticism, and tax
payers have right to be heard.
