He argued that the sec tion of the. country that furnished the votes'should also furnish the head of'the ticket. In* thc course of his well prepared speech...Jiidge Parker used thc follow ing interesting language :.' While this conscientious devotion to''an idea has. commended itself to thc D?modais of the whole country and basilius made and kept the party rational, during recent years tlie* peo ple of the South, without variable ness or shadow of turning) have been its mainstay. Shirking uh. responsibi lity, seeking llb; Autionel rewards-, pro moting no special interest* tt? move ments, they have thither been trucu lent in victory nor discouraged in de feat. Going on in their way, regulat ing their own affairs, without hope of commanding subsidy, paying cheer fully tb ?ftrry out policies in which they could huveno part, they have so impressed themselves upon their time that thc one special problem coming to them from the past has been solv ed in such-a way I hat thc whole coun try has not only been forced to ap prove and applaud but to imitate as Ihc only way to deal with it. But thc lime has conic when new duties and responsibilities must be undertaken, by thc Democrats ?if the South, ll is moro than two score rears since- thc war closed .and your people lind, themselves upon the threshold:ot what promises to be the nost remarkable business develop ment-the world has ever known within he same time aud HptWe;.

The Sonnte continued consideration of the railroad question by listening to the reading of a report on the House bill by Mr. Tillman and to a speech on that measure by Mr. Nel son. Mr. Tillman's report was read at rhe request of Mr. Aldrich, who said that he was curious to hear thc opin ion of the South Carolina-Senator. Brief attention was given to thc message of the President transmitting the letter to the Secretary of War relative t9 the recent Moro battle. Mr. Bacon spoke of the killing of the Moros as "slaughter" and Mr. Lodge deprecated criticism until the fads should be know'ii The House resolution giving the in ter-State commerce commission au thority to administer oaths iii con nection with its investigation of diar ies of discrimiuii??tf ?iiad? against railroads was adopted without r?frdrir big to the formality of requiring its reference ia ttf?t?iiUee': Mr.- Stone's resolution directing an inquiry frito thc Postoffice Department rulings on rhe admission of college publications :o thc.mails.as pseond class matter al so was adopted.. A large number of pr?vate pciisioil .jills and solac other semi-private bills ?vere passed. MR. TILLMAN'S REPORT. The report of Mr. Tillman embodied the first clear and concise statement of the diff?rences concerning court re view feature* aod other proposed vmendmenls that Ji?d filad? ? ??an? nous report from the committee" im possible. Without hesitancy, thc Senator de dared it to be his belief that the bill should bc amended, but ihat amend ments should not be of a character to nipair or prevent thc accomplishment if the objects of thc leg??lflllou, which ire set forth best, he says, in the President's message to Congress. He uuphasized the need of regarding thc measure as non-partisian, hut predict ed that the issue created will be para mount in the next presidential elec tion. Mr. Tillman prefaced his report by speaking of the peculiar circumstan ces ruling the camin?ttce's actions on thc House bill, which made it an em barrassing task to submit views that would be concurred in by the com mittee as a whole. AN UNPRECEDENTED, SITUA . TION. ty of its membei^heur??^va'sTjron into the Senate in a form "not entirely satisfactory to more than two mern*. >ers.

Al the ame time thc bill is designated lo any into effect his own long herished convictions and the thrice* eiterated demands of the party to rliicli he belongs.' Emphasizing the elaitn that this ondition ii without precedent in leg ?lative history, Mr. Tillman says it rings into prominence thc fact that be legislation ie non-partisan and is 0 reeognizezd as a result of the un nimous support given it by the mi ority in the House and the few op osing-only seven-in that entire od v. 'UBLIC DEMAND PASSIONATE. There would follow a "cyclone of assionnto resentment," said Mr. Till lau, in predicting what would be the ?suit of failure on the part of Ccn ress to meet thc widespread demand >r railroad rate legislation. He de bared that "woe will be the bat ist" of any member of the Senate House whose work in formulating bill to regulate railroads lacks eara ?tness or honesty of purpose and who mil seek lo belittle the question or ill the bill by subterfuge and dficep ou. The constitution gives to Con fess the power to regulate the rail ?ads, he contended and there are any wrongs to right. The bill as it comes from thc House, x. Tillman characterized as loosely orded and capable of different in rpretalions. "Massacre of Mt. Dajo." Thc additoual power which Presi ?rit Roosevelt sugested should be ven the inter-State commerce eom ission in making the' special investi i'tion into the coal and oil industry 'related to transportation was giv i*by the House in the passage of tho )wnsend resolution on that subject. ie session, which was ended at 3 dock so that the Republican caucus ight be held, was devoted to gener? debate on the legislative bill. Severe criticism of the recent lint ? in the Philippines was made by r. Jones of Virginia, who declared at the killing of women and children is a disgrace to the nation.
