Peru is in Chautauqua county; and
the noblest-tand quietest) -Peruvian
of them all is Hon. William McDan-
nald (Proof reader will kindly follow
copy on that name, and refrain from
spelling 1t Mcdonald, like the state
printer did on the house roll call
clips. If Mr.. McDanna1d spells it that
way, he has the right, under the
United States constitution, to see 1t so
printed.) It is spelled that way so as
not to confound him with that other
canny Scot, Sir John Macdonald of
Topeka, Kansas.
Chautauqua county used to send one
Samivel Fitzpatrick to the senate. and,
having done that. pay little or no at
tention to its representation in the
lower house. But Senator Fitzpatrick
is no longer on the job, and when the
fact finally soaked into Chautauqua
county, said county began to cast
about for a house representation. The
result was that Mr.. McDannald-
(carefulnow)-of Peru was sent to
mingle with the solons.
Up to late hour this afternoon.
Mr.. McDannald had not been called a
liar. AS he is a largeish person, it
may be well for the other members to
go right on refraining from calling him

TRIM IT DOWN.
Stannard Roll Call Resolution
Has a Tattered Look.
Purpose Was to Force Members
on Record.
WEAKNESS OF RULES.
Will BecOmeApparent in Initia-
tive Debate.
One Example of What May
Happen.

When the Stannard resolution was
introduced for a roll call in committee
of the whole, that measure bore all the
ear marks of true reform; but since the
passage of the resolution, a dozen jok-
ers have appeared to humiliate or as
sist the trainers of the new plan. At
ter the, first flood of resolutions for
constitutional amendments, a scheme
was devised that would place the OPP
position on record. The particular tool
was roll call in the committee of the
whole. Now it appears that the in
surgents, the standpats and even the
minority members with little assist
ance, can remove all the cogs from the
new gearing and slaughter pet legis-
lation in the approved method of an
Gent days.
This resolution provides for not more
than three roll calls on any bill in the
committee of the whole on the motion
of ten members. 1t was introduced by
the senator from Lyon county for the
alleged purpose of forcing record on
time the resolution appeared mighty
effective. Since its passage it has de-
Veloped all sorts of opportunities where
by not only the regulars, but the in
surgents may dodge embarrassing COM
plications. This rule reads:
Rule &c. On motion the senate may
go into committee of the whole. In
forming a committee of the whole, a
chairman to be appointed by the pres
ident shall preside. The rules OF the
senate shall be observed in the COM
mittee of the whole, so far as may be
applicable. excepting limiting the num-
Der of times of speaking, and that a
motion to lay on the table or a call
for the previous question shall not be
in order, and upon demand of one-third
of the senators present in the COM
mittee of the whole a roll call shall be-
had, but no more than three roll calls
shall be taken upon any bill under con-
sideration in the committee of the
whole
Some time next week when the in
itiatiVe and referendum are considered
a few exhibitions of the weakness os
the rules will be given for public an
prevail. 1t is generally conceded that
the tr5e blue insurgent element will
trample the colors of the minority /
abuse the administration plan for
everything sacred and vile. The regu-
lars will be expected to assist both
factions and aid in the killing of any
thing that resembles the new policy
Then, for the first time, the inferior
Workmanship of the rule will be dem
onstrated. Here is an imaginary report
of the first session for the considera-
tiOn of the minority resolution:
Brady, of Douglas, is called to the
chair. Six pages hasten to distribute
printed copies of the Democratic docu-
ment. Solemnly the clerk reads the
first paragraph.
Are there any amendments?" asks
the gentleman from Douglas
Yes. certainly. Here they come.

whole. the lid is off. It is the occa-
sion for speechmaking and other
kinds of conversation. It leaves an
opening for each member to tell his
favorite funny story and get away with
1t, and yesterdays discussion of the
bulk sales bill released a number of
good ones. Mr.. Cassin, the Democrat
from Girard, was the star performer.
The manner in which he deplored the
fact that he had not been instructed by
his constituents as to how he should
vote on this important measure, was
indeed touching. Being without NOR
tai instruction, he asked Divine as
s1stance. and then took chance:
Others added to the gayety of the
occasion by coyly admitting that their
constituents had neglected to furnish
instructions, and then telling funny
stories to illustrate the said case.
About two-thirds of the assembled leg
islators took a flight into the realms
of oratory. Some of them referred to
the bulk sales bill as an ubiquitous
measure" and the reference to "hon-
orable, honest merchants was made
at least two dozen times. It was
gathered by the spectators that no
merchant was honest or honorable; he
was both or nothing. And the final
all party or factional lines eliminated
for the time being. Gentlemen who
had been calling each other shorter
and-ugliers earlier in the day, were
counted in the same column, and per-
sonal friends and seat-mates were di-
vided. AS to the bulk sales bill itself,
the Spectator did not know anything
about it at the time, learned nothing
about it while absorbing the two hours
of oratory on the subject, and having
tried to read the bill since, knows still
less about it now.

just west of the Santa Fe depot about
A way car on the rear of the Union
Pacific train was knocked off the
trucks and the platform was battered
up. The headlight and pilot of the
Rock Island engine was damaged to
some extent.
The Union Pacific train. it is said,
had got on the wrong track and was
backing up to get on the right tracks
when the collision occurred. 1t is also
stated that the old Santa Fe depot OBJ
structed the trainmen's view, as 1t has
often done, so that neither crew knew
the other trains were coming until too
late to avoid the accident.
Ministers of the North side will
likely find out the general opinion in
the First ward regarding the proposed
branch Y. M. c. A. This is according
to statements made by several of them
today.
They will learn by talking with
members of their different congrega-
lions how much of a demand there is
for the branch. If it is great enough
it is probable that the churches may
start a movement for the establishing
and eQuippfng rooms for the work OF
the institution.
By the uniting of different denom-
nations to create interest in the Y. M.
c. A. branch it is thought that the
plans for such may be materialized.
And in connection with this a branch
Y. w. c. A may be future institution
in the First ward.

brother ministers and my congregation
think about the matter said Rev. w.
I. Cole, pastor of the North side Bap-
