Legislature May Not clay
Down" OF Two-Cent
Fare Deal.
MANY HAVE BILLS ON SUBJECT

introduced.
Death of Gen. Bryant Removes FamiI-

Tights Bill.

Madison. Wis. Feb. 2G.-The one
absorbing topic Of the week III the
legislative chambers has been the ac-
ton Of the railroad commission re-
ducing the passenger fares on the prin-
cipal roads OF the sState from 3 to 212
cents. For tie nonce the big public
utility measure. which is to tremen-
d0uSly enlarge the scope and author
ity of the commission. has been for
gotten. The eject of the decision has
been to produce a relaXation--a de-
mOraliZation. il one will. on the legis-
latiye mind. and sentiment has not yet
crystallized upon it.
On account OF WaShingtOn's birth
day the two houses cut an uneventful
week rather short, and, having had
several days to think over the fare
proposition at home. if should be easier
to now get a line on the minds of the
members. The consensus of opinion
seems to be that all the various two
cent bills introduced at this session
will now be withdrawn and no legis-
latiOn attempted in the face of the de-
cision. But it would be far from safe
TO assume that this will be the upshot
of it all. The state has been greatly
wrought up on the 2-cent fare idea,
and it is keeping within the bounds
of truth to say that the act of com
mission in reducing fares but half a
cent came as quite surprise TO the
mass Of the people and produced not
little disappointment This feeling
finds most expression in the more pop
ular branch Of the assembly.
Considerable NIuttering.
There is much muttering here, and
some Of the members who presented
2-cent fare measures may not consent
to seeing their pets unceremoniously
thrown into the legislative junk heap.
There is apt to be some imprisoned
oratory on the subject, at any rate,
and a new issue he created for the
next campaign if nothing more The
more stOlid body Of the senate seems
disposed to stand by the commission.
and this fact coupled with the alacrity
of the railroads to comply with the
order Of the commission may put the
desired quietuS or the agitation. 1t
appears to be a safe presumption that
the railroads and the commission ar
rived at an agreement on some main
points Of contention at least. The ac-
ton Of the railroads in quietly acqui-
eScing in the commissions order is of
course wise Were they to put up Il
hostile front nothing short of 2-cent
legislation would probably result The
Democrats and Social Democrats. with
not few Republicans, are still eX-
perted to contest for the lower fare.
But" says Rev Carl Thompson,
leader Of the Social Democrats. the
present system of private ownership
and regulation is IA failure If people
can ride for as low as one cent mile
in Mexico, Japan Germany and other
countries where government owner
ship of railroads is practically fact,
it is folly to say that i'm a wealthy
state like Wisconsin people could not
be carried for , cents with proper man
agement of the roads,"

meeting that he was in receipt of a
letter from Senator Culberson in
forming him that, when congress
convenes in December, the Browns
vile matter will be taken up by
him, and that he believed the en-
tire subject would be disposed of
and Brownsville fairly and fully
vindicated. Mr.. Kelly paid high
tribute TO Senator Culberson for
his uhtiring efforts on behalf of
Brownsville, showing that every
message and important piece of in
formation forwarded him, reoutting
the lies of perjured witnesses, mill
tary and civilian alike, which has
been forwarded to him almost
daily, was Immediately used by
him to the best possible advantage.
Finally Mr.. Kelly proposed that
the thanks of this mass meeting be
formally rendered Senator Culber-

the defense of the honor of our
people at Washington. John w.
Vann, collector Of customs, second
ed the motion, and it was carried
with acclaim.

Why The Court Smiled.

A LAWYER whose attainments
were scarcely of the first quality
was arguing in one of the Phila-

Judge. His argument was not
without flaws, and at one point he
fairly screamed out that if his
client had done wrong then he,
the lawyer, was equally wrong,
for he failed to see that any fault
had been committed.
But, Mr.. Blank" urged the
judge, Ignorance of the law ex-
