Senator Palmer's Opinion.Special to the Globe.
Washington, April —The Interstntocommerce bill was laid before the senate1 "l.i\.;uid Mr. Culloiu detailed the pro-visions of tho measure at treat length. Mr.Palmer said ho would vote for the bill, notbecauso he thought It all that he wouldapprove, but because it looked In the rifclitdirection. Special contracts governinglong jmjiiods of time were mad.- every daywith shippers, giving them practically thecontrol of the market. There was neitherequity, equality, law nor justice iv thepresent system of railroad chances, Mr. |Palmer gave a number of instances of whatM termed unjust discrimination by railroad \companies, including some by and with theStandard Oil company. Continuing, Msaid he did not suppose the apj>ointinent of [tillscommission would bring on the rulllen-ium. For forty years these railroad com-panies had been tightening their grasp onme people. We are to-day confronted byvery great evils in connection with them.We could not
i:i MI. 1 1 V All. THE EVILSat once, but we would have done our dutywhen we should have done our best When !the new act should be tried new remedieswould bo discovered. Referring to watered ;stock, Mr. Palmer said three-sevenths of 'the railroad capitalization of the UnitedStates was water; and masters in Wallstreet had realized vast fortuues in hardcash out of this water. The sovereignty of !
the eat trunk lines presented a more dan-gerous- imperium in imperio than themost concentrated government that the ;world had before witnessed. Railroadswere great and most useful servants of civ- 'ilization, but they must not be permitted tobecome absolute masters of the people. Ifnot supervised and brought under controlby appropriate legislation they would soonhave their power as rirtuly tixed as ever theHapsbunrs, the Hoheuzollems. or theGuelphs had fixed theirs. These moderndynasties, the railroads, though born oflaw, and the creatures of law hadbecome more powerful than their creator: 1and the old maxim of royalty: "the king Isdead; long live the king," was never moretrue ofthe haughiest divine right ruler thanofthe modern railroad power. When therailroad magnate died not a schedule waschanged, not a locomotive made a puff theless, not even a sardine the less wos sold inthe railroad restaurant, [laughter.] Mr.Palmer believed that the peoples's mottoshould be "special privileges for none,equal rights for all."'
INTERSTATE COHHEKCE.
The Greatness off the sovereignly ofTrunk Lines.
Washington*. April 14. —In the senateto-day Senator Jackson's acceptance of theUnited States Judgeshlp of the Sixthdistrict was announced. A memorial fromthe wool growers' convention held at. St.Louis complaining of the proposition toplace wool on the free list' was presented bythe chairman. Senator Morgan gave noticethat to-morrow at 2 o'clock, at the requestof the committee on foreign relations, hewould ask the senate to go into executivesession for the consideration of an import- jant matter. Mr. Butler then addressed thesenate on the subject of open executive ses-sions, claiming that there never was a timewhen the necessity for the abrogation ofthe rules providing for them was so plain asat present, lie charged the Republicanmajority in the senate with interfering withthe constitutional prorogation of the presi-dent forparty purposes and said he wantedthe senate doors wide open when action wasbeing taken on presidential nominations inorder that the country might be advised ofthe frivilous character of the grounds onwhich action was refused on nominations.His (Mr. Butler's) experience In the senateconvinced him that there was no use andno necessity for secret sessions except per-haps in considering treaties with foreignnations. The surest, safest and nearestroad to civil service reform, Mr. Butlersaid, was to thiow wide open the doors ofthe senate for executive as well as legisla-tive sessions and then to permit by law themembers of the president's cabinet to comeOB the floor of congress from time to timeand participate in the debates, but
WITHOUT A VOTE
as provided by the bill introduced by Mr.Pendleton. no other course could so welltend to the proper understanding of publicquestions or the better mutual relations ofthe executive aud legislative departments ofthe government
Mr. IVudleton submitted as a substitutefor the pending resolution relating to exec-utive session a resolution providing that"all matters other than those relating totreaties should be considered and actedupon by the senate in open session." Itwas ordered printed.
On motion of Mr. Blair, the senate tookup the bill reported from the committee onpensions, "for the relief of soldiers of thelate war, favorably discharged after sixmonths' service, who are disabled and de-pendent ii|>oii their own labor for support.and of dej>endeut parents of soldiers whodied la the service or from disability con-tracted therein." Mr. Blair said the billwas substantially the same bill that hadbeen passed by the senate at tho la- ses-sion, but had failed iv the house. At 2o'clock the matter went over tor to day.and tho inter-Mate commerce bill was laidbefore the senate.
Mr. Cuilom detailed the provisions of themeasure at meat length.
Mr. Palmer said he would vote for thebill, not because he thought it all that
UK WOULD APPROVE,
but because it looked in the direction.Among the servants <>: civilization, he said,none approached the railroad in efficiency.It bad not only made the wilderness Mac* imas the rose, but had eaabM the roseto be readily exchanged for th« products oftiie city. No small task that it had accom-plished. It had reduced Use cost of trail s-portatloa of \u25a0 year's food from th« West tothe Eastern seaboard to the price of oneday's labor.
Mr. Palmer here entered in considerable Ilength into the question ofrailroad history ;in the United States as well as in Europeto show the rapid and extraordinary devel-opment of railroads and their Increasingtendency to concentration.
"To-day," said Mr. Palmer, "half a dor.enfrentlomen In Wall street could pet togetherand by »> p!eco of financial Jugglery, dic-tattthe profits o looses of thousands of men, andor many communities. By their flat Rochesterwas stopped that Minneapolis mijjhtthrive.Allbut one of the manufacturing establish-ments at Niagara Falls had been destroyedIn order that tbo out* might prosper. All thecapital and labor invested In oil-wells mustbo lost In order that one great companymlffbt grow. Itwas undisputed that busi-ness went In certain dlroctious, not becausetboso were
THE NATURAL DIKECTIO9Sbut because the railroad rates were read" toserve special ends." The most surprUin?thing- to Mr. Palmer was how the businesscommunity ?u stained itself unaer sucn con-ditions. The principles of law that ought toforcrn the common carrier were habit-ually violated. Special contracts governingloan periods of time were made everyday with heavy shippers, giving them practi-cally the control of tho market. There wasneither equality, equity. law nor justice Inthe present system of railroad charges. Mr.Palmer (rave a number of Instances ofwhathe termed unjust discrimination by railroadcompanies. Including some by and with tboStandard Oil company. Continuing, be saidhe did not suppose the appointment ofa com-mission would bring on the minimum. Forforty years these corporations bad been tight-ening their grasp on the people. We were to-day confronted with very great evils in con-nection with them. We could remedy all theevils at once, but we would have done ourduty when we should have done our best.
When the new act should be tried new reinc-dk-s would bo discovered. Itcfcrrintr towatered stock. Mr. Palmer Mild ihreu-Mv*nth«or tbo railroad capitalization of tho UnitedStates »v water, and tbe masters or Wallmeal had realized vast fortune* in hard cashout of this water. The sovereignty of greattrunk lines presented a more dangerous im-pression than the
MOST CONCENTRATED GOVERNMENTthat Mm world witnessed. RaJlroaas werewi.-.u and most useful servants of civiliza-tion, but they must not bo permitted to bo-come nb>oluto matters oftho people. If notsuppressed and broujrbt under control by ap-propriate legislation, they would soon bavotheir power as firmly fixed as even tho Hups- jburg*, thu llohenzulicrnsor Guelpba hudfixed theirs. 'I hex- modern dynasties, therailroads, though born of law, bad become >
moro powerful than their creator, and the old jthe old maxim orroyalty: "The klmr is dead. !Jo. ik live the Mug-." wiu uevcr more true of ithe haughty dlvlnc-rlght ruler than .of the 'modem railroad power.

CO.IinERCIAL TREATIES.
An Endeavor to Hare tie HawaiianConsidered In Open Session.
Washington*. April 14.— In the execu- [tive session of the senate to-day SenatorMorgan gave notice that he would bring up :the Hawaiian treaty to-morrow.
Senator Van Wyck offered a resolution ithat it be considered with open doors. Sen-ator Hoar without objecting to the presentconsideration of the resolution expressedhis disapproval of the general principle of iconsidering either treaties or nominationsin open session. He intimated that he iwould take occasion to make a speech on Ithe subject in open session.
Senator Butler said he was disgustedwith the course of procedure in the senateon this subject It appeared that whenany one of a certain half dozen senatorswanted the doors open they were opened, ibut this privilege was rigidly denied to theother senators. Here was a purely com-mercial matter deeply affecting the busi-ness interes and welfare of the people. Itwas not even a new treaty which was to Ito be considered, but a proposition to ex-tend an old one. It was already and badbeen for years before the public. Whatearthly reason could be given for secrecy insuch case?
Senator Tan Wyck said he believed in thefullest publicity for commercial treaties,and he called attention to the fact that hehad introduced a similar resolution whenthe Mexican treaty was taken up, but he ;did not wish to discuss the subject at thistime and asked that the resolution lie overtill to-morrow.
THE TELEPHONE TROUBLE.
Another Breeze Between the JVewOrleans Witness and Kir. Banner.
Washington*. April 14.—Mr. Van Bon- ithuysen again took the stand when the |telephonic investigation committee met !to-day. He produced a copy of the record \used in the New Orleans suit to show, as ilie said, that the insinuations that he hadused a fac >imile of the record of the in-terior department proceedings, was nottruv. He said that both judges at NewOrleans had snubbed Mr. Storrow (the jBallcounsel) for his attempt to make asensation without proper foundation. Hewas wliiiiL' to answer questions about theXew Orleans suit, but he did not regard it |as relevant to the investigation. He would !like to know who "lugged in" this matter,as he didn't propose to have any recordmade here by Mr. Ranney for the use ofthe Bell company on matters totally irrele-lant to th« issues. Mr. Kauuev asked iftwo pages had not been inserted in therecord, to which witness replied that hedidn't know that ahything had been in-M?rt«l. and it was nobody's business buthis own. He had a perfect riirht to do ashe p!eased in that matter, and it had noth-ing to do with this investigation. Mr. Kau-ney asked why new copies had been printedin Xew Orleans Why had not the origi- inal been Used and the Nipser uilldavit cutout?
"You 1 are cot do business to ask such aquestion. You shall
SOT ASK IT.and Iwill not answer It," replied the witness.••Ifyou arc buildingup a record now foran\b.«iy you cannot do it ibroujrb me."
Mi . Baaaajr — Uno Insinuation aboutit. I u-!.cii for n ilMd facts.
The in--.*(del a uiy;—The court have al-ready passed on It. my friend. You cannotuiuko anything1 out of it foryour company, 1will tell you.
Mr. Hanm>)' (sternly) —Please answer thequestion I put to you.
Tbe witnesa —Wall thatsarao remark aboutcuttin z out. No. sir, I would nut take anybook and cut anything out (firing up andstriking tbe table with his flat.) It is for noother purpose In ;h • world than to benefittbe llrllcompany, lie ..Mr. Uanney) couldnot have {rotten ut these statements exceptthrough the Dell company and tbeir em-ployes.
Mr. Rannny (impertinently) —"Mr. Steoofr-offrahcr, will you please put that questionagain?"
Witness (angrily)—I wont answer It. Iwont answer any insinuation of that kind.I wouldn't If tbe whole congress should askit. I have tbe highest respect for all tbemembers of congress, with a few excep-tions.
