Tor puIr under which the war reve.

TsE RULE under which the war reve'
nue reduction tax bill was passed by
the House yesterday is admitted Oh all
sides TO have been the most drastlo
MEASURE ever presented in that body
supposed to be deliberative-and one
more rigid than would have been
st.emoted under many of the monarch
joal governments OF Europe. Under this
rule not 90 amendment to the measure
save those recommended by the ways
and means committee was to Do
allowed, and the democrats realizing
thei. helplessness, declined even to de-
bate the bill. When Mr.. Reid was
made Speaker of the House bis Jules
osused an outburst of indignation
throughout the country and he was
called "Czar," but his rules were milo
com pared with that introduced ana
passed yesterday-aud tie latter has
caused no special wonder, 80 willing
are the people, through their repre-
ssntstives, becoming to give up TIE old
time democratic rights, privileges ano
liberties. The democratic members
opposed the rule though to no avail, oO'
some Of them gave utterances to truth:
which are food for thought by those
most interested In their country's wei
fare. We quote some OF the remarks;
Mr.. Underwood protested agains
the adoption OF the rule, because 1t pre-
want I'D individual members from exer
eisinQ their own judgment or carrying
ont the wishes OF their constituents al
to what portion of the excessive taxe'
should be repealed.
Mr.. Ball denounced the rule as bu
another step In the parl amentary evo
luton by which indivldualism In I'M
House was being crushed and few
men were enthroned Pc the autocrsti
to dominate it's will. He aid 1t wal
reported 10 the papers that the Presl
dent had been converted to the view
that the ''iron hsnd" was necessary tC
prevent a wholesale revision OF the
tariff. He said the rule was gag t;
prevent the House from exercising III
will. 1t was presented, he declared
to prevent legislation unfavorable to
the trusts from being attached to the
bill. The republican managers are
absolutely controlled by the trusts, said
Mr.. Ball, which accounts for their fear
OF amendments.
Mr.. Hay asserted that the House If
becoming merely machine to register
the will OF the presiding officer. The
rule introduced was, he said, the wors,
exhibition of political cowafdice tina
he had ever seen.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The Constitutional Convention yes-
terday decided to.Ret out Of the way oil
the legislature which reconvenes tomor
row. and voted without division to rent
the VirRinia Mechanics Institute Hall
at $3.50 per month.
The convention then progressed with
the report on corporations. The sec
ton providing how complainant' may
carry their cases to other courts tnan
the tribunal which is to be q part OF
the commission was up for discussion.
Mr.. Thorn offered TO amend t1is sec
ton Of the report. He said II the con-
vention bad made up its mind rot to
consider any amendments except those
emaustiDg from the advocates OF the
committees report, he and others who
thought like him might as we'll go
| home. The matter wes under con-
sideration when the committee OF the
whole arose. At the afternoon session
the section was adopted and the report
completed TO Section 8.
Thus far the friends of the railroads
have not succeeded In securing the
adoption of single important amend
ment ID the commit lees report.
The most significant feature of the
sections OF the report of the Committee
on Corporations adopted by the con-
yenlion was that providing for long
and SHORTHAND charges within the
State.
Now that the convention will meet
