Washington. Feb. T. - Following
weeks OF hearings and consideration
by the committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce. as well as urgent
recommendations OF The president on
the subject. the house began debating
the proposed legislation looking TO the
regulation Of railway freight rates.
This action was taken only after deter
mined opposition by the Democrats,
led by John Sharpe Williams Of Mis-
sssippi. the minority leader. to the
adoption of a rule which would shut
ont opportunity to anhnd the bill.
Two Republicans. Messrs. Southwick
and Vreeland. OF New York. voted
against the rule. and one Democrat.
Gaines. of Tennessee. voted for II.
Otherwise party lines were tightly
drawn
In critlcising the committee on rules
for shutting on all opportunity for
amendment Mr. Williams contended
that il that opportunity were given.
the Democrats had with them a suifi-
cient number of Republicans to pass
a bin embodying in all It's particulars

a vote on the minority substitute. IL
amendments would be- allowed TO be
offered. but the appeal was refused by
the majority. Mr. DeArmOnd. o! MIS-
souri,. charged that the right TO amend
had been denied in the narrow1ess
Of shallow partisanship."
The fairness OF the rule to ali mem
bers was declared by Mr.. DalLell to
be apparent. since IL afforded full op-
portmity to vote on both bills offered
by the two parties. The rule also was
defended by Mr. Grosyenor Of Ohio.

The house again had before 1t the
Swayne Impeachment case. Mr.. Pal
mer. Of Pennsylvania, presented The
replication OF the managers OF the
house TO the answer OF the Judge.
The replication reiterates that Judge
Swayne is guilty OF the high crimes
and mlsdemeanors mentioned in said
articles. and that the house OF repre-
sentatives Is ready to prove the same"
Without comment OF any kind, the
replication was adopted Authority was
given the managers to file with the

FAIR MANAGERS ASSOCIATION

At a meeting of secretaries of county
fairs, held last week in Milwaukee, the
Wisconsin Fair Managers association
was given life and a set of officers elect
ed as follows
PRESIDENT. w. Watson, Fond du
Lac county.
Secretary-O. f. Roessler, Jefferson
county.
Treasurer. X. Wright, Marathon
county.
The meeting was called for the pur
pose of discussing plans for legislation
which viii give equitable aid to all fairs
held in the state regardless of whether
they are county or district fairs. OF
course the state fair is not effected
The causes which led up to the call of
this meeting haze been given in the
PLoT in previous issues, and we will
not therefore thresh over old straw. G.
S. Van Auken and Robt. b. Clark, Sec
retaries of the Lacrosse and Chippewa
Falls fairs, which are the ones COM
planned of, were present and took part
in the discussion. They denied that
they had had anything to do with the
amendment to the law which gives
their fairs more aid than received by
county societies. The former gentle
man made plea for harmony and sug-
gested that fight might mean the cut
ting off of state aid for both Several
county fair secretaries took the same
view and then the following resolution
was passed:
ResolUed-That in the judgmentof this
association, the state of Wisconsin
should generously support one state
fair, and in giving aid to all other fairs
should place them on an equal footing.
The officers of the association were
instructed to make any suggestions
they thought good for the welfare of
the association; also to offer a draft of
an amendment to the present law and
report at the next annual meeting,
although a special meeting can be
called at any time. The annual dues
were fixed at $500 and an invitation
will be extended every fair association
to become members.

q. S. Cone was on Saturday bound
over for trial in municipal court upon
statutory charge preferred by one of
our citizens. The case is one of which
the PILOT does not care to give the
details out of respect for aversion to
such matters. The examination was
held in closed chambers and the result
indicates that damaging evidence was
offered and admitted by the court.
The defendants bonds were fixed at
$500, which he furnished.

A TEST is about to be made on the
anti-pass law. w. B. Angelo, of Wau-
toma, purposely violated the law. A
complaint was made against him by
w. II. Berray Bonds were given in
the sum of 81, 900 and the case was GER
titled to the circuit court. The case
will be tried before Judge Webb, at
WautOma, this week. Park & Carpen-
ter, of Stevens Point will appear for the
defendant. 1t will +, contended by the
defense that the law docs not apply to
such offices as notary public, members
of school and library boards, ETC., and
the motive is to secure a judicial con-
struction of the law. Mr.. Angelo i5 an
attorney for Wisconsin Ry. Co. and as
compensation receives a certain amount
of transportation. He is also a notary
public. Az appeal to the supreme
court will be taken, whichever way
the case is decided in the circuit court.

LITTLE by little the ways of the re-
publicans are being found out. Two
years ago Judge Alton B. Parker
charged that the corporations ruled the
republican party. At that time we dis
tinctly remember that several local pol
iticians remarked that Parker had put
his foot into it; that he would have to
prove this scandalous statement. But
no one dared to force him to do this,
and the statement passed unchallenged.
Now that matters are being shown up
as to management of the New York
Life Insurance company, and it has
come to light that the company gave
$4,000 to defeat Parker, it appears that
the latter knew what he was talking
about. st.
