\ xnjf > rm'siir.vi ! En SPEECH.
.After aperiod of ten days for reflection
and revision Representative ICenaotly last
night sent to the trovcrutncnt printer the
mnni'Bcript of h'.s speech attaikltitf the senate
nnd jSenator Ouav for their abandonment of
the election bill In consideration of an a reo-
inci.t \otoon the tariff bill by the demo
cratic senators. Mr. Kennedy did not have
the full courage of his convictions on the ad
Inst. , or at the request of friend * ho con
sented to smother them and publish a speech
that Uocs not offend so outrageously the laws
of pirllamentary usage and decorum as the
one ho delivered. Senator Quay's nanio is
omitted from the record anil ono or two per
sonal sentences either struck out or modlliod
Ilh Jlurco onshiURht against "senatorial cour
tesy" in "a clo.ik behind which Ignorant and
arrogant wealth can purclrao the vay to
power and then hldo Its cowardly head behind -
hind the shameless protection of senatorial
Bllcnco"doos not appear. In the comparison of
Judas Itcnrloi and Sumtor Quay the Utter
Dart of the sentence , "the Judas who took
thirty pieces uf silver and went and handed
himself has loft an example for the .Matt
Quays that is well worthy their example , " is
changed to "has left an example veil \\orthy
of Imitation.V.iere. . in the original , Ken
nedy sold of Quay : "Ho stands a convicted
criminal before the bar of public opinion1
the revision reads : "He stands convicted al
ready before the bar of public opinion. "
Hud the speech been printed as originally
dcllvead it would huvo created a grout sensa
tion , but bv comparison it may be that the
new version will fail to attract much atten
tion without Quay's name In it. It Is difll-
cult to see how the Pennsyluuiia delczation
con successfully attack the speech , nnd If the
senate should ask the house to tnl > o notice cf
it and punish the offender it Is not likely that
anything would In done. There are too many
members of the house who feel toward the
senate as Kennedy docs to nurrunt an attack
ui < on hiui from tbiit end of the capital.
TIID HOCBB mCOMINO UNWIELDY ,
The membership of the house ot repre
sentatives is already too large. Init it will bo
Increased nv twenty odd members under the
new apportionment. The admission of now
v ttatesand the increase of population threa-
> tens at the present rate to so Increase the
% jzo of the houboas tomalco It ery dinicult
M > transact business. Many people familiar
with legislative affairs believe that now
the membership of the house should
bo reduced rather than bo increased.
SlueolTOO the apportionment has run up from
ono member to every at.OOO people to ono for
cverv 131.012 people , and meanwhile the mem-
bcrslilp lii the hoiisd has increased from 1W
to 330. It Is ctirlons to look over the progress
of appnrtionnients. Every ten ywrs the
party m power figures on the census , striking
many trial balances to see what apportion
ment will civo them the advuntnpo of the
most members of their party in coiiKress nnd
the greatest strength in the electoral college.
Ono result of nil tlio figuring
is that some of the states have fewer repre
sentatives now than they had in the tlrs > t ap-
portionmen 1700. A member In the house
then represented 33,000 citizens. Ten years
later each member represented ! ir > ,000 , Prom
DOW stands. Under the apportionment bill
Virginia will lose ono rcprcsentuthe.
In 1790 she bad just nine more
representatives in the house than she
now has. Before any census was tafcen ,
when tha government was Just organized ,
Virginia had ten representatives , Just what
ho now has. Csnncetlcut had seven ropre-
iciitativesln IMOand has four now THe\n- \
wurohaa ono nttno boRlnninRnncl lias still ,
but back between 1810 nnd IS'JO she had two.
Illinois hud nothing until 1S10 , when shocamo
In with ono , which has grown steadily up
to twenty. Trora the same tlrao
Indiana has had n steady growth
from ono to thirteen. Maryland
had (5 ( when the government was formed ,
which was increased to 0 in IfrOO and 6 is
the number she now hns. Maine started in
with 7 under the apportionment of 1S10 and
> tnnv has but 4. Mossuihusrtts had 17 in
IbOO nnd now has 12. Now Hampshire had
4 under tbo tlrst apportionment and now has
but half tlmt number , lihodo Island was
given \ at the first and bos always bad tha
unic number.

It Is expected that the result of the repub
lican caucus last night will ho that n\oto
upon tlio motion to uon-coucur in the senate
amendments to the tariff bill will ho taken
on Tuesday. The republican inoinhcrs of the
wns und means committee now assort that
if this is clone the chuucos are that tbo con-
forces will bo ready to report the bill bacK to
the senate on Thursday or Friday of this
* week und that tlio dobuto upon , the report
can bo limited so as to assure the sending of
the bill to the president by Monday , tno'iJd.
Thoiduaot the i > aya and mentis committee
Becms to bo that little dlttlculty will
bo experienced in reconciling the differences
between the two houses OP any of the amend
ments except those relating to sugar and that
whloh places binding U\lno oa the free list.
ConeomlnK the sugar schedule , it Is believed
that the house provisions fixing the dividing
line botncon free and dutiable sugars nt the
grade Itnownas INC. 10 Dutch st.uidard and
placing a duty of 4-10 cent a round ou grades
nbovo that \\lll bo agreed to by tbo conferees.
A retaliatory auimdlncnt will bo adopted
\vhlch will provide for the addition of a duty
ui > ou all sugars which receive a bounty from
the country of export equal to the amount of
the bounty so paid. Tlio object of this pro
vision is to compel the rentiers oft
beet sugars to outer the American marUet
t
' with their products upon terms of exact
equality with the western manufacturers ol
this nowEtaplo , who promisoto bo ready to
supply the entire demand from American
grown beets wltnln n few years If they re-
cclvo proper encouragement. Keprescnto-
thes of the sugar trust say that it this pro
gramme ia carried out it will drive all the n >
liners of low grade sugars out of the United
{ States , as thcru will be a great Inducement
( or Spain and Cuba to enter Iwpcly Into
refilling raw sugars down to a fraction under
No. 10 In order that they may secure free
entry for tliclr products Into the ports ol the
United States.
The binding twine contest la likely to be a
litter ono. Manufacturers of u\lno will use
iviiry effort to secure the restoration of twine
to the dutiable list and representatives of the
treat small grain growing states will be
Iquully persistent In declaring that the free
twlifli concession must bo niado to the agrl-
cultural element of the population. It any
nltcinpt Is raacle to force through a report In
favor of the restoration of the duty on bind-
IUR twine the representatives from all the
prairie states will ccrtalnlv not Stand by the
caucus , but , led by Judire 1'nyson of lllfnolj ,
they will fight to retain this particular
atncndmentof the senile even though every
thing else shall bo sacrificed.

Dn ) MOIST.S , la. , Sept. lt.-Speclal [ to
TUB BKE.J Iowa has on her statute books
on anti-trust law , enacted by tlio last legisla
ture , which appears to bo a very bungling
plecoof legislation. It requires the secre
tary of state to procure .from each and every
corporation organized under the lavs of the
state a statement under oatU as to whether
said corporation has merged all or any part of
Its business or Interest in orwith any trust ,
corporation or association of persons or stock
holders. This ans\ur must ti ! sworn toby
the president , secretary , treasurer , oranydl-
rectorof the company , bo far , thlspartof
the law has proved unexpectedly cumbrous
and productive of inconveniences not contem
plated by Its authors. In the first place It Is
notconllned to corporations which can RO
Into trusts and combines , and not even to
these organized for pecuniary profit , Consequently
quently the secretary of state has had to
send out blanks to churches , benevolent sale-
ties and secret societies , which could by no
possibility have any object in going into a
trust. 'Ihls has increased tbo work of the
sccietaryof state's onlee\ery \ much nnuhas
caused thoofllcera o ( such societies no ondof
trouble. The provisions of the law ore ririd ,
an dtho secretary of state has no option butte
to eiiforcoit totho best of his ability. The
answers , hovcver , are cowing inery
slowly , ns might bo expected. Another fact
whlili times the enforcement diftlcult is that
there Is no record of corporations , v\lilch
ha\o been discontinued. Hundreds of cor
porations \ia\o lxen ? oreauizcd under the
simolo laws and procedure oC the state , and.
have subsequently been merged into other
corporations or lapsed out of exigence al
together. T hero is no law which compels a
dissolved corporation to maVto any report of
its dissolution to any state oftlcer. Con
sequently a largo number of these defunct
corporations have been requested to swear
that they are in no pool or trust. The sccre-
taiyof htate Mill never know whether they
are in a condition to answer or not.
Another serious difficulty will arisowhen the
secrutary turns in his list o ( corporations
\vhoha\orefused or neelected to answer to
the attorney general.rJho latter ofllcial is
required to begin proceedings against all de
linquent corporations by himself or the
county attorney. Ho is pivcn no discretion.
So hundreds of cases will bo bepun over the
state which have mssedoutof existence and
against others which from their nature could
not be guilty of a violation of the spirit of
the law , A refusal to tnalto this affidavit will
bo followed by a revocation of charternnd if
the law Is literally enforced itwill g-ohard
with a great many church societies and bo-
nevoletit orgauizat'ons. ' The attorney gen
eral's oflico la already overwhelmed with
business , and there is no provision for more
assistance. What he can Uo with the anti
trust law is dlftlcult to foresee. .An amusing
result of the law so far is that the readiest
and promptest replies como from those cor
porations at whom the law Is supposed to bo
dliected. INoue of tbo corporations which
uro nbtoriouslyin the combines have found
the slightest aifticulty In swearing thntthey
have not entered into any trusts. As a whole ,
it is exceedingly doubtfulif the anti-trust
law of Iowa will accomplish the ead desired

Of our o\\a \ planet they teach , us some very
strdiigo things , still it seems that
at certain seasons oC the jear
the oceans of the planet Maw are
diUdcd Into parts just nslf a. gigantic bridge
orbanlt of sand had boon throvn across them
from ono show to the other ; for Instance ,
tlicro is , among other seas on the planet
Mars , one situated at the 90th degree longl-
t-udo. Oa uccount of isolation , us well as
superficial area , this sen resembles our Black
sco. Hitherto this sea has alwa\s Icon
ob.ervodos uniform and nearly circular , but
