Quite a number of radical ntl-corporatlon measures huve been Intro duced In good faith, some of them respond' Idk to an unquestionable pupulur demand, that deserve tho serious consideration of tho lawmaklnR bodies. On tho other hand, It Is easy to detect tho bills with hold-up ear marks, among which n few are worth enumerating outside of tho host, to regu lato railroad, telephone, telegraph and ex press rates. For example, wo find such perennial measures that bob up nt each legislature as tho bill fo prescribe new exactions on people engaged In business ns pawnbrokers; a bill aimed nt tho rial ex rhange. Imposing heavy pcnnltlcs ou agree ments to maintain prices- n pure beer bill, framed os a reminder for tho brewers; a pure lard bill, Intended to servo similar no tice on tho meat packers; nnd so forth nnd so forth. That these bills will have n rough road to travel from now on goes without saying, but In tho mcuuwhllo vas rlous meritorious measures nrc likely to fall under the same shadow unless fathered hy men whoso motives nro not to be Im pugned. ("out of CoiiiiiiInmIoii, "Do you know how much that supreme court commission bill ns passed by the senate will ndd to tho appropriations to be paid by tho taxpayers?" asked n prom inent lawyer. "It means uu Increase of tho expenses of thu court of $03,000. Von see, It provides for nine commissioners nt $2,500 u year for each, or $15,000 fqr tho blcnnlum. Rich commissioner Is to have nn extra $1,000 a year ostensibly to pay for tho services of a Htenographor nnd tho nlno stenographers will cost the tnxpnyers $18,000. A llttlo example. In arithmetic makes tho total cost flguro out $03,000, without counting for nddltloual bailiffs' expenses of fitting up nnd maintaining mora court rooms, etc. A placo on this supremo court commission would bo n pretty good thing. No wondor nenrly every lawyer In politics In tho stato has bis anchor to tho windward for a berth." .Vorinnl School Advocate. Members from tho western part of tho stato interested in bills for proposed new normal schools nro decidedly Mustered over tho position assumed by Governor Dietrich on that subject. It has been known for somo time that tho governor wns atlverso to dividing the statq's normal school facilities nnd was contemplating giving public ex pression to his views. Several sessions hnvo been had with him by tho normal school promoters, but with so llttlo eu couragement thnt they aro apprchensivo of a veto In cbbo they succeed In getting their bill through tho legislature. In all probability the friends of these normal school measures will formulnto a stato menl In nnswer to that of tho governor to be Issued for publication within a fow days.

FOR STATE CONCENTRATION Gorercor Dittrich Oppotid to Folloj of Scattering Fablio Inititutioni. DUAL ESTABLISHMENTS SHOULD BE MERGED TrIM of I'lnii to Iteilncc Ct ' Mnlnlcnniier 11 nil nl (lie Hume Time Provide More Hrrvtrrnlile Conditions. LINCOLN. Feb. 11 (Special.) The policy of creating additional Institution nnd scattering them over tho state, In stead of concentrating and centralizing them, does not meet with much favor at the hands of Oovernor Dietrich. On this subject ho said today: "I am opposed to any policy cnloulated to unnecessarily Increase tho expenses of thoBtatc. "In tho development of our system of penal, chnrltable and educational Institu tions, the plan has been wrong from the ory Inception, Instead ot having two hos pitals for tho curable Insane, there should be but one; so ton, tho schools for the lent nnd dumb and for tho blind, should have been on the same campus, thnt one set of employes might practically perform the duties of both Institutions and the cost of maintenance thereof be greatly lessoned from what It has been. This ia also true of tho homes fur the soldiers nnd sailors. "I will ndmlt that with reference to our educational institutions tho situation is somewhat dlfforent. Tho attendants nt these come and go tbice or four times a year, while, tho Inmates of the former In stitutions remain permanently or for n long period of time. "Tho advantage of location which some would have over others might bo adjusted n accordance with tho plan adopted in Knnsas, and that ia, for the state to pay for the transportation of normal Bludcnts up to a point within a radius of say 100 miles. This would place thoso living in remote parts of the stnte on about the same basis, so far as cost of transportation Is concerned, as those residing In close proximity to tho school. Folly of Two Ni'TV Vorinnl Sehooln. "It would be folly to attempt to build up .two additional normal schools nt one time. It would bo much more prudent and wise to put all the money Into one, so pro portioned n to meet the requirements lu tho way of accommodations, nnd nt a point easily accessible and centrally located say nt York, Central City, Aurora, Hastings or Ornnd Islnnd. "It might even be more beneficial. In the way of economy nnd at tho snmo lime carrying out the Iden of public convenience and accommodations, to enlarge the hos pital for tho Incurablo Insano at Norfolk nnd uso the hospltnble building nt Lincoln for a normal, or enlarge the soldiers' au.1 sailors' home nt Mllford nnd use tho home at Grand Islnnd for n normal. IJIther or both of these cbnnges could bo madp. In which event tho cost of maintenance would. bo greatly reduced, while tho cost of en larging tho buildings nnd placing them In serviceable condition would bo far bnlow tha cost of even one now structure, such as Is contemplated nnd required. "Attended by such conditions 1 believe that a liberal appropriation should bo made.

He estl mated that between 1300,000 and $100,000 was annually paid to these men tor game. In Its original form the hill sought to pre- ent spring shooting, but this section was eliminated by the senate committee.

The Inttcr element has, how ever, proposed that the bill be reported as it passed tho Iiouec with a view ot get ting It before the scnato and there attempt ing to amend It, but tho republican sen ators have taken the position that the bill should bo perfected In committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. When the sen ate convened today nt 11 o'clock Mr. Turley of Tennessee presented the credentials of his successor, Kdwnrd W. Cnrmack, elected n senator for n term ot six years, beginning March t, 1901. Mr. Teller of Colorado presented the cre dentials of Thomas M. Patterson, elected a senator from Colorado for tho term of six years, beginning March i, 1901. Tho cre dentials of both senators were filed. A bill providing for an additional district Judge lu tho northern district ot Illinois wns passed. The naval appropriation bill was then taken up, Mr. Tillman of South Carolina said he had expected to discuss tho nrmor pinto ques tion, which was before the senate when tho bill waB laid nsldo on Saturday. Hu de sired to present evidence which would show tho had faith with which tho Carnegie and Bethlehem compnnlcs had trented tho gov ernment. Tho companies had sold posi tively they were unablo to make Krupp armor for less than 1515 per ton, yet they had entered into contract for nrmor at n, lower price. Ho would be satisfied, ho sold, If the chalrmnn of the navnl affairs com mittee, Mr. Hole, would corroborate what ho said. Mr, Hale replied there wns no question about the accuracy of Mr. Tillman's state ment. Mr. Pettlgrew said that when a member of one of the nrmor concerns was before the appropriations committee ho admitted thnt Carnegie and Bethlehem had an agree ment to bid tho same sum for he nrmor. The senato passed the naval appropria tion bill nnd Mr. Hnnna moved to tnke up the shipping bill. Mr. Jones of Arkansas demanded a roll call nnd the senate voted 33 to 14 to consider the bill. Mr. Tillman dcclnred thnt the high price named In the contract for nrmor was fixed ns an ludtiecmeut to tho Carnegie nnd Bethlehem compnnlcs to mnke n Inrge con tribution to the republican cnmpnlgn fund. The bill was passed without division. Tnkr t'p ShlppliiK Hill. Mr. Hanua then moved to take up the shipping bill. The motion prevailed by n voto of 33 to 14. Mr. Cnffory Addressed the senate In op position to the bill, declaring It would not promote the commerce nnd Increase the foreign trade of the United States, as tts title proclaimed, but wns really designed to furnish n donation to ccrtnln steamship lines. He believed thut no new lines would spring Into existence under the bill, ns the entire subsidy would bo nbsorbed by the present Hues. Ho thought the bill uncon stitutional nnd dwelt nt length on the Inrge amount ot n subsidy It gave to high-speed ships. Mr. Cnffory nscrtcd there wns noth ing In the pending bill that would be of nd vuntage to American penmen. Mr. Hnnna Interposed to say that one of tho objects subserved by the bill would bo tho Increased number ot places nfforded to seamen upon American vcssols. He pointed out thnt the wages paid by ves sels under the American flag were Just about twice ns Inrge as those paid under any other flag and under the provisions of' this bill Amcrlcnn ship owners would be ablo to pay such wages nnd at the same time meet foreign competition In the car rying trade. "By actual count." Interjected Mr. Jones of Arknusn. "there nro Just ten repub lican senators In tho chamber, t suggest tho nbsenco of a quorum." Tho roll call disclosed tho presence of fifty-six senators. Mr. Jones thought there must be some good reason for "the mnulfe(st Indifference" of so Inrge a part of tho republlcnn senators to this bill. In his opinion the reason for the "mnnlfest Indifference" was that no Idea prevailed that In tho seventeen dnys of the session remaining tho bill a senate ineasuro which would have to be passed by the house to become a law enuld be disposed of. Ho regarded It a"n "ubsurd" thnt any thought nf passing the measure nt this session should be entertained. He then moved that the Jjdlclnry committee be dis charged from consideration of the anti trust bill passed by the house and that the somite proceed to Its consideration. Ilimy nn Committees, Pending that motion Mr. Wolcott nf Colo rado naitl he felt It his duty to Bny In reply to Mr. .Touch' statements that at this time in tho session mnny senators were obliged to absent themselves from the sen nto chnmber In order to attend to Important commltteo work. Their absence did not In dicate nn Indifference as to tho shipping bill. Upon objection by Mr. Chandler, tho mo tion of Mr. Jones, under the rules, went over until tomorrow, the Arkansas senator giving notlco that ho would press It nt .that tlmo if he could do so without an tagonizing tho appropriation bills. Mr. Piatt ot Connecticut explained that tho judiciary committee for soveral dnys had had tho anti-trust bill under considera tion nnd ho protested that tho committee should not bo discharged summarily from Its work, During Mr. Caffcry's speech the senate wns called sovcrnl times to produco n quorum. Finally, nt tho conclusion of one of the cnlls, Mr. Fryo, chairman of the commerce committee, said: "Tho coramcrco commltteo has permls. slon of the senate to sit during sessions ot tho senate. If senators desire to hnvo a river nnd harbor bill nt this session It may bo possible for the committee to re port, It It Is not continually Interrupted by tho calls of tho senate." "In order to aid the committee," sug gested Mr. Jones, facetiously, "It might be well for tho scnato to tako n recess w'lille tho committee Is In session," Mr. Cnffery's speech was further Intor ruted by a brief executive session and the passage ot n resolution offered by Mr. Spooner calling upon tho secretory of the treasury to furnish the senate the num ber and tonnugo of vessels engaged In foreign commerce, the number now engngod In the coastwise trade that could enter the foreign trado under the ponding bill, nnd aleo the amount of subsidy ench cssel would receive under tho bill. The resolu tion also calls for tho numbor nt foreign built vrssols authorized to come under American registry under the bill mid the amount of subsidy each would receive, nnd tho number tit foreign ships registered as contracted to be built under the provlslous of tho bill. Senators Aldrlrh, Allison and Jones of Arkansas were appointed conferees nn the war revenue, bill, Hcsumlng, Mr. Cuffery declared thnt tho bill Is "a bfid, bold grant nf the people's money to nil tho pockets of shipbuilders and ship owners. As hucIi It Is absolutely unconstitutional nnd void, It in robbory under thn form of law. You ran lax the people for a public purpose, but you can not give away the people's money for u private purpose. Before Mr. Caffery concluded the senate at 5:35 went Into executive seisluu and at 6 o'clock adjourned. S I HOUSE MEMBERS WAX WARM Sutrcr Slutli llrntci! l)li'iinlon of t lie le .xiiiii'k Attitude Ttuvnrd the Hurra. WASHINGTON, Feb. ll.-Thls wns n field day In the house, being ,by far the liveliest ilny during the present rosslon. A very Interesting debate, over the consti tutional limitations on the power ot the sennto over rovenuo legislation Initiated by the houso was precipitated when Mr Payne, tho chairman of the ways nnd means committee, brought In the resolution of tho commltteo to disagree to the sub stitute proposed by the senntu as nil amend ment to tho wnr revenue reduction act nnd to nsk for u conference with the rrnate. Mr. Tnwney of Minnesota ehnmploned the cause of tho house ntul Its paramount rights over revenue legislation, brt was unfortunate. In' tint lulugliig forward n reso lution to' return the bill to the senate with tho declaration that the senate had trans cended Um powers In substituting nil en tirely new incisure for the bill of the house. Tho subsequent debate showed thnt hnd tills courMe been uilopted the pioposlllon would hnvo commanded a largo vote. In stead, however, he Insisted upon a divi sion of tho resolution, nnd, after the llrst portlon-to dlsngrte-hnd been uilopted. li inndo thepolnt of order that the second motion was not In order becnuse the sen ate In its substitute hnd Invaded the t on. stltutloiial prerogative o't the bouse. The lestilt wns thnt the members were not eon fronted with the direct isue nnd the houso voted JSB to SS to ask for a conference. Later lu the tiny, during the considera tion of the diplomatic and consular impro priation bill, nn Impassioned pro-Boer speech by Mr. Sulzer ot New York drew from Mr. Mahon of Pennsylvania n recital of the raMIng of a fund of about $1,200 for the benefit of the widows of Boer soldiers nt a meeting held lu this city at which Mr. Sulzer presided, lie declared thnt after the "tcrrnpln and cold bottles got In their work" only IIS was left for tho Boer wid ows. This stung Mr. Sulzer to reply at length He said he had no ennneetiou with the ex penditure of the fund, to which he hnd con tributed $17i", nnd a very lively row fol lowed, the climax of which wns reached when Mr. Sulzer hnd read an rinoymoux letter which made a sensatlonnl personal nttnek upon Mr. Perry S. Henth. late as sistant postmaster general, who wns see lctary of the' republican notional com mittee during the recent campaign, churg lug him with being Necly's sponsor nnd then denying It after tho arrest of Neely nnd also innking allegations against Mr Heath In connection with government de posits In a New York bank. Mr. Sulzer charged Mr. Heath with being responsible for the circulation of tho stories about his connection with the fund for the Boer wbl own. Mr. Knox of Massachusetts deelarcd that it wns "ctjntcmptlble" to attack n pen tleicnn who could not reply, through the medium of ah anonymous letter, and moved that an Infraction of tho rules be icported to the house nnd stricken from the record. In the course of the debate upon this mo tion Mr. Sulzer declared that although the communication wns anonymous he fath ered every word of It and would' be re sponsible for It as a member of the house and as nn Individual. The democrats fili bustered agnlnst the motion to expunge the letter from tho Congressional Itccord nnd finally forced an adjournment, the effect being to permit publication of the letter In the Record, REPORTS BANK TAX ACTION Alilrleh llriillen tu , iiiiitiiin IihiiiIi-Icn TIii-iiiikIi Chiilriiinii ll-hil en nf lilt Alittirlrnn Aucliioti.
