Whatever sins 1T c.ninlss!nu and
omission the Constitutional Convention
may he guilty OF, it has in II measure
covered itself with glnry by passing the
railroad commission bill which regulates
the charges OF common carriers III trans
porting freight and passengers between
various points in this State. Strenuous
efforts were made to exempt steam boats
and Pullman slerpers frcn the provis-
ions of the bill. but in this, as in ether
amendments offered to make the meas
ure obnoxious and TINS defeat it, the
railroad people we've routed hos.e, foot
and dragons. Now that Il railroad
commission has been fixed in the or
ganic law Of the State, it is but fair to
presume that the railroad lobby, which
has heretofore been such prominent
feature at Baton Rouge during the ses
sion of the Legislature, will how be
conspicuous by its absence.-Sngar
