To Force Passes From Railroads.

"A veritable sensation was created in
the Iowa house last week by the report
Of the committee on railroads. and
commerce, favoring the Hanna bill,
which compels railroads to grant
passes to all public officials. 1t is the
prevailing opinion that the committee
was swayed by the wishes of the foes
Of the anti-pass bill; in other words,
the friends of the railroads, who hope
to precipitate a debate on the floor of
the house in which they may find OPP
portunity to kill the regular anti-pass
bills by ridicule.

A Gracious Act.


Some very gracious things are done
In the house. AS the great debate OH
the railroad rate bill was drawing to
a close time was precious and more
members were clamoring for chance
to speak than could be accommodated
That was inevitable, because men were
moved to speak by reason of what 9th
ers said. On Tuesday morning Mr.
Stanley of Kentucky was delivering an
eloquent and imprisoned speech amid
great applause. Before his speech was
finished the hammer fell-that is, his
time expired. Thereupon Hon. Morris
Sheppard of Texas, who had been
promised few minutes by Judge
Adamson, who was managing the bill,
arose and asked Adamson to give his
time to Stanley.

Election of Senators by the People.
The legislatures of number of states
are agitating the question of electing
senators by direct vote of the people.
1t is question that will not down, and
1t is merely matter of years until the
constitution is so amended as to per-
NIT this great gain for the people.
More than twenty state legislatures
have passed resolutions looking to the
adoption of the necessary constitutions
al amendment. In Mississippi, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama,
Virginia, Louisiana and Arkansas they
now have system Of choosing the
Democratic candidates for the senate
In the primaries. Each candidate for
the legislature has to pledge himself to
support for the senate that candidate
who receives a plurality of the votes
cast in the district represented by the
member Of the legislature. This seems
to be as near as can be got, as the con-
stitution now stands, to choosing the
senators by popular vote. While the
legislature goes through the form of
electing the senator, it is merely a
form, for he is chosen by the people.

Election Contests.

Elections committee No. 2 of the
house asked permission of the house
lately and obtained it to send for per.
sons and papers in the case from st.
Louis wherein Mr.. Coudrey is contest
ing the seat of Hon. Ernest e. Wood.
That grew out of the fact that Wood
had filed motion to knock out all the
evidence on the ground that it had been
changed, altered, curtailed and mu-
tilated by the contestant or his law
yers and agents. He supported this
motion with af1davits establishing his
contention. Godfrey filed counter af.
fdavits. The truth is that contesting
congressional elections have become q
regular industry among certain Repub-
licans in st. Louis. It's an industry
that ought to be broken up.

Hon. William Sulzer Of New York is
man of great courage. He is a
bachelor. Nevertheless on Feb. 6 he
had the nerve to describe himself in a
speech in the house as ian old and ex-
perienced legislator" Most unmarried
men would hesitate to make such a
declaration Sulzer, however, while
IAN old and experienced legislator is
not an old man by any means. he Is,
on the contrary, young man in the
very prime of his powers. He was
speaker of the New York house Of rep
resentatives when he was mere boy
and has been in congress eleven years.
He is not only a capable and indus
trious legislator, but is a delightful
friend and companion. During the
speech in which he made the foregoing
declaration he also said that he could
have gone out of congress and been
placed on the payroll of great rail-
road company at an annual salary Of
$4,000. Nobody doubted the truth of
bis statement.
