The House early in the session went
on record against an increase in rail-

a resolution accompanying it, that it
be referred to ajoint committee of the
House and Senate, before whom rep
resentatiyes of the railroads might ap-
pear and present their case, were lost
The Introduction of the measure at
once brought forth a storm. The reso-
luton was opposed by Reigler, Belote,
Bishop, Condray and johnson, while
Beeson, Wilson and Armstrong spoke
for its adoption, urging that it was on
ly matter of common fairness to the
railroads, who come in the attitude OF
petitioners. Mr. Johnson of Sebastian

that when the midnight assassin and

with, it is no time to pass resolutions
or consult them If it meets with their
approval" The resolution was defeat
ed, and the bill defeated on viva voce
