IJ'i tills question of tlio cntlro house.
ii inero was wisdom In this substi-
tute It appeared to him that It should
f not submitted to tlio committee at
east navo been placed along side of
i louiii ueierotneiiousein order that
the truth orlts wisdom would liayo
been tested and not as has been done
presented at this Into il.iv.
ho far as the committeo bill
was concerned ho did not
desiro any stamp of his upon it. He
did not wish the bill Illustrated with
Ills nllotoirnmll. His ifrriit. timl mile
desire in the matter was to answer in
the most practicable manner tho voice
ofthcpeople.whlchhostlll maintained
was tlio voico of God. The substi-
tute proposed to plaeo one made of
llesh and blood and human nature
likens nil: In control of the great In-
terests which had been mentioned no
often of late instead of three as
proposed by the bill. Ho referred
briefly to the smooth workings of tliu
commission in other states and
while he did not clafm
the bill was perfect lie thought
it possessed of sutlletent wisdom to
merit the favorable consideration of
tho legislature and the people. He
then in an impassioned manner ex-
claimed "You may kill this bill but
I warn you when you bury it and
leave it wrapped In the raiment of the
gnivc. those who strike the blow will
have left only an empty winding sheet
to carry back to their people in nuswer
to their earnest constant and per-
sistent demands."
Ho was not an enemy to tlio rail-
roads but did not envy the man who
described him' as such but lie did
think tlicso great corporations for
which the stato has dono so much
should bow to a reasonable demand
from those who have conferred such
lusting favors.
In conclusion lie did not duslre It un-
derstood ntter adjournment Unit he had
attempted to load down the train of
progress ami prosperity lie would
burnish and brighten the wheels pro-
pel and steady the machinery but by
tlio gods ho would not repose tlio reins
in tlio hands of. another lMiicton to
dtive wildly madly and t unrestrained
through the sky to the destruction of
thobuust initial intcrestsof the country.
Tlio delivery of tho speech aviuj at-
tended with considerable-applause. The

Mr. Taylor voted aye in order to
mow a reconsideration. He made
such motion and addiessed tho house
at some length tie said tho hoiibo
had labored falthfullV on this bill and
had got it into an acceptable shape
and vesterday lie thought lie could see

li'Miteoininir hn that tho pledges of
the Democrats to the people were
about to be carried out. He consClen-
HoiiBly believed that if it were not for
tin Vource from whence the
substitute came It would lo
open to the charge of seeking to
defeat all legislation on (his subject.
Tills bill was In tliep-vdieanient of the
veteran who was asked by ills
king what he could do for lilni and re-
plied: "All i ask. sire is to be pro-
tected front in j. friends; I can deletid

The railroad substituto bill canm Up
In regular order.
Mr. Chenoweth offered an amend-
ment to substitute the first four
sections of thu printed bill for the cor-
responding sections In tlio substitute
thus supplanting tho proposed stato
engineer with three commissioners.
Mr. Wilson raised the point of or
der that the sections having been
voted down this morning it was In-
competent to olfer them as an nnietid-nieiit.

hair sustained the no nt of order.
.Mr. t'lienowetn appealed trom tuo
decision of tho chair. Alter some dis-
cussion Mr. Upton moved to lay the
appeal on tho tnble which motion pre-
vailed by ayes 43 nays 30.
Mr. Foster of .Limestone altered an
amendment to section seven which
provided in substance for llxlng the
maximum.
After quite a lengthy discussion by
Messrs. Foster Cravens and Swan Mrs
Chenoweth arose and after saying he
was pained to have to disagree with
ills esteemed and distiiiKUlshed friend
Mr. Foster or to ids amendment and
in a very deliberate manner spoke in
substaneo as follows: Ho was not hero
to lament the bill which had fallen a
corpse nt the feet of this houso this
morning. The keenest pang was be
cause he did not expect the arrow from
tho bow whence it came. This legis-
lature ho thought well understood
the position of tlie honorable speaker
on this subject. Ho (Chenoweth) had
left a sick bed to come to this capltol
to assist in his elevation to tho honor-
able position he now occupies. He
then in an impassioned manner re
peated the couplet:
"Keen are tuo pangs but lar worse
to feel
Wo nursed tho pinion that Impelled
tho steel."
Tho amendment of Mr. Foster was
voted down by ayes -i nays 04 and
the house adjourned.
Note.
As premised in yesterday's Gaziuti:
no feeling of compromise has shown
up In the house.
Mr. Gibson's substitute was adopted
by a very small majority but it will
fiiil ofllnal passage for two reasons.
First most ot (ho friends of the cV
fiuted bill will lluht St; and second
many who voted for it to-day id order
to defeat the Chenoweth bill and who
aio opiwsed to any railroad legislation
at all will desert at tho
critical hour. Tho remarks of Col
Chenoweth with regard to Speaker
Gibson just before adjournment this
morning may be put down as tho key
to the. situation. The feellmr Is trow
ing in bitterness every hourainougtho
members and remarks that prudeutlal
reasons keep out of priut nruuonstant-
ly given expression 1Mb very certain
that the house lias reached tnat stato
of mind when an adjournment would
bo desirable and which for that rea-
son nlny bo brought alKiut. While
tho remarks of Mr. Chenoweth
contained no words absolutely personal
in their nature it Is conceded by tlio
spenker's friends that lie cannot allord
to leave them unanswered. The gen-
tleman may have been a very warm
personal friend and while there is no
reason to doubt this slight breach may
bo affectively nnd amicably healed it
is probably safe to say that by to-day's
proceedings a tlauie iins been kindled
which will not bo subdued here but
which will be felt in the futuro politi-
cal nffulra of tho state. Tills has
been a red-hot day in the houso
and the lobby was crowded
most of tho time with an eager and
apparently excited throng. A promi-
nent ex-senator is acting to-ulglit as a
mediator between Messrs. Chenoweth
and Gibson and this friends of both
arc hopeful that all unkind feeling
may be speedily obliterated.
