TUESDAY EVENING. MAR. IS. 1906.

SOME of the members of the legisls-
tufe resent the criticisms made upon that
body hy many of the newspapers
throughout the State, but they must re-
member that they alone are responsible
for such treatment. The majority of the
members seem to have been reckless, ex-
travagant aud undignifed men, as IS
shown by the following description ofthe
closing scenes in the Senate published
in one of the Richmond papers. The
closing scenes 10 the House were none
the less undignifed
The Senatorial farewell reyel con-
timed. AT one point Senator respond
ing to prod from another Senator
said something about the latter's See
ing double" The later vas appar-
emily much annoyed. He inquired if the
Senator intended to insult him. 81

declered, "and in all that time | have
never heard one Senator use such Ian
quspe as this, referring to another Sena-
for" The other disclaimed any in
tention of offending the Senator, re-
marking upon the fact that the Senator
was proceeding in humorous vein, and
declaring that his remark was made IN
this spirit. 81 reserve the right to sec
doub.o without any regard to the wishes
of The Senator" said the other shortly.
II was again declared that no ofiense was
intended. and the incident passed. The
result of the fun-making was that no
bills we're passed, or, rather, fun making
was resorted TO because II was impos-
sible to get any bills through the Senate.
AT ll:2O p. M. the chair was vacated Tor
twenty minutes. Three dignified Sena-
TORS locked arms in q circle and walled
around singing "Auld Lang Syne. "
The chorus was taken up bv the others.
The scene grew more lively. The Hon.
"Pete" Barksdale, former Senator,
was dragged to the chair and forced to
make speech, which be did amid roars
of applause. The other half of the
Halifax ex-senator, the Hon. T. G.
Pitcher, was then introduced. There
were loud cries for "Button," but the
fore warned clerk had safeguarded him
sell in his room behind locked door.
The rayel fell at ll:45 p. M, and the
Senate came to order again. The presi-
dent signed several bills, and arranged
10 have a sufficient numb, of members
present on Monday to constitute quo
rum of The committee on enrolled bills,

Fifty-ninth Congress.

op>sarz
SENATE.

Mr.. Scott introduced an amendment
which he will offer to the railroad rate
bill, providing for ample track facilities
for transferring cars from one intersec-
ting line to another, at crossings, inter-
sections, ETC.; providing for equal and
reasonable facilities for interchange OF
cars aud traffic: providing for switches
and short road connections; providing
against discrimination in rates or charges
in such interchange and liking the COM
pensation-at reasonable figure. The In
terstate Commerce Commission is given
power to adjust differences and parties
are permitted to secure review in the
circuit court.
After hearing the amendment resd,
the Senate took up the consideration of
private bills.
Senator Simmons this afternoon adj
dressed his colleagues on behalf Of the
Hepburn bill, contending that the giving
of authority TO the Interstate CommeTce
Commission to substitute a just anl
reasonable rate for an unjust and nn-
reasonable one was entirely proper aud
constitutional.
He stated that it was well known
fact that certain combinations have mo-
nopolized many OF the prime commodi-
ties of industry and commerce. and.
through the enormous volume of BUSH
ness they can give or withhold, aided by
the devices of private switches, cars, re-
frigeration, ventilation and icing, have
for some time past compelled the rail
roads to accept such compensation as they
are willing to pay for the transportation
of commodities in which they deal or for
the traffic which they control. "This
control of the big shippers, The declared,
'iuciudes not only the oil and fresh
meat business of the country, but IL ex-
tends to the fruit business, the dairy
business, the truck business and the
brewing business, as well as other i'm
portant lines of business"
When the railway rate bill was taken
I'D Mr.. Tillman gave notice that he
would on Thursday, move TO take the
bill up Immediately after the routine
business each day, instead of having It's
consideration wait until 2 o'clock.

BY all accounts from Washington the
feeling appears to be gaining ground
that the result of freight rate legislation
in this session of Congress is going to
be attended with much disappointment.
Even some of those Senators and mem
hers who have favored the most drastic
provisions OF the Hepburn bill begin to
think that the upshOt will be to con-
vince the country that attempts to I'M
dermine the power of the judiciary to
protect the rights of property are far
more dangerous than all the evils in the
business of transportation which 1t Is
proposed to remedy. In this respect,
and in respect also TO the dangerous
tendencies of Capitalization OF govern
ment, says the Philadelphia Record, The
coming discussion in the Senate prom
ises to have a most salutary influence
upon public opinion, which has been led
astray by clamorous appeals to passion.
