SEES DANGER In
RATE BILL CLAUSE
Badger Senator Attacks Attempt
to Curtail Courts
Jurisdiction.
Says Amendment Would Destroy
ate-Fixing Provision Of
Measure.

Washington, April ga stack of
sheep-boun books which covered all the
vacant space in the vicinity Of Mr..
Spooner's desk, bore the visible evil
dence at the beginning of the session
of the intention Of the Wisconsin sena-
tor to make good his promise to reply
today to Mr.. Bailey's speech on the
railroad rate bill. Mr.. Spooner was
among the first to make his appearance
able to begin his speech until more or
less other business had been transacted.
The first business of Importance was
the passage of the bill introduced by
Mr.. Flint appropriating 100000 for the
employment of extra labor at the Mare
Island navy yard, near San Francisco.
Mr.. Perkins reported the bill from the
committee on naval affairs without
amendment and it passed without de-
bate.
Might Kill Bill.
Mr.. Spooner began speaking at 1880
o'clock announcing his purpose Of de-
voting himself largely to Mr.. Bailey s
amendment preventing inferior courts
from restraining the orders of the in
terstate commerce commission. @
1.-THE question is a grave one,' he
said. eff adopted it will almost de-
bill.n
He went on to say that the PROPOSE.
ton was the most important question
that had been presented to the senate
in recent years-far greater than even
the rate-fxing question itself. lie quot
ed Mr.. Bailey's declaration that the
power to create involves the power to
destroy,' and said that when applied
to the courts this axiom was full of
danger.
Power of Congress.
He denied that except in limited
degree, congress lad power to destroy
the courts. He conceded that iurisdic
ton may be conferred and withdrawn
but contended that such power may MOI
be extended to the judicial power of {
= court in a given case. --..--
He then entered upon an effort tx
draw the line of distinction between
jurisdiction and judicial power and sait
that Mr.. Bailey's necessities must hav,
been responsible for his sneers at thi
distinction. -~.~-,. .T..s. :. 1885,. : -,-o
The difference. he declared, had bee1
understood by the trainers Of the con
stitution and by the text-writers sine
- Gladstone, and had been outlined b,
many court decisions.
"To me it is plainly written in tn
constitution and no sophistry can con
fuse it, he said.
