The Buprome Court, it will bo romembored, decided such contract against public policy, and illegal, virtunlly in- dorsing the idon of the Jobnson bill, for which thoro is still n noecessity, the docision simply sustalning tho common law by ordinary dnmages, whils tho bill contemplatos oxomplary dnmages’ caloulstod to mako n transgression of the Iaw on expensivo luxury. Tho bill was soriously smendod, if not” crippled by the Senato Committes, by amondmento providing that it should not apply to any monapoly now in oxistonco, nntils court of oquity had do- termined tho rights of parties undor contracts that might bo affected by it..; Mr. Johnson thinks tho amendment n slab nt the heert of tko bill, as tho Sounto will ho asked to paes it with the amendments recommended by tho Comnmittee. TIE WEST SIDE PANK BILT, Tho West Sido Park bill, which slid smoothly through tho Sonnto, and camo to the Iouss, when it was consigned to the favorablo con- sideration of tho Commitieo on Municipal Affairs, came ‘back this morning with & rocom- ‘mendation that it do pass, It wns road a second time, and was on the point of Lalng ordorad to & third roading without discussion, whon Mr, Her- rington moved to referit to tho Cook County dologation, as thoro was o difforencooven inthat dolegation’ as to tho proprioty of the measure. They should be careful what they did, and not jump in tho dark. Mr, Quinn_hoped tho motion wonld provail, as he belioved thero was o stoal in tho bill. It was dificult to know who was n member of that Houso and who was not, 8o full was the lobby of Jobbyists for tho last fow days. Mon with oily tongues and pnnmvm’inq onergy were in the 1obby working for that Lifl, and the House, pro-. polled by them, was asked to rush through n bill without ‘consideration. ‘o Pnuglu lind no ob- te to ropresent them, 'The bill was for tho benofit of o ring of real estate speculators, Mr. Condon doubted tho sincerity of tho gen-~ tleman from Pooria. Tho bill was & Wost Bido measure. Ho represented tha rich aud poor tax- poyere, and a1l wanted broathing places. = Mr. Bradwell advoeated the bill, and thought it nocessary for the lmpmvomcne of the Wost Hido. Mr. Halpin opposed the bill on the gronnd that tho tnx might bo lovied by the corpornto suthoritios of tho towna—authoritios who wero olected in a disgracoful way on tho flrat Tuosdsy in April. These immaculate town authoritics had poyer to levy not only a 3-mill tax, butan unlimited amount for special assosgments to construct sewora, Mr, Connolly thought the bill should bo re- forrad, a8 the Cook County delegation was to harmonizo differences, and permit membera of the ITouno to think what should be done. Mr. Oleson wasin favorof n refaronce, uathere wero somo objectionablo features in the bill, + Mr., Jonos moved to amend so that the bill be roportod bocl in the morning. Ir. Scanlan was opposed to roforence and do- sired tho bill to run throngh, Ho moved to lay the motion to refor on the table, but tho motion was lost—382 to 79, Mr. Hopkine bolieved it nonsonse o rofer to the Cook County men, many of whom wero hoa- %lu to the Dill, aud way not » Committoo of that ouse, . Mr. Washburn moved to_have the report baok on Saturdey morning, whioh Mr, Scanlen moved to lay on the tablo, which was loat—47 to 46, Mr. Scanlan foolishly mado tho truo state- ment, that it was woll known' that the Cook County membera were novor in town on Friday night, which causod ghouts of lauglter at tho oxponse of tho © Cooks,” who had beon indulg- ing in n dolightful row of an hour's duration. Tho motion to report back on Baturday pre- lod, T'ho two days' delay may bo fatal to tho bill in tho dying hours of the ression, No blamo for this untoward result should bo laid at the door of Mr. G. B. Runyan, or of Mr E. B, Taylor, who ‘“logged” round a8 if pro- peilod by stoam-ongines, It mey bo n uostion, however, if thoir ovor anxlety to pass &;u bill did nat creato n suspicion of a job, which may bo unfounded, but wwhioh noverthe- Jess oxista among country mombers, The bill may pass yet, B ook Gounty delogation met thls ovening to considor tho bill, Mr. Wicker inoved to striko ut tho provision sllowing genoral toxation for gunding sowers, loaving it to bo dono by spacial It was adoptod, and 80 Wng 8 ppoond amendmont Rrovi(llu;: thot the sowers ould be constructed only with tho consont of tho Conncil or Bonrd of Pablio Works, 1r.

Cullorton offerad an_amendment ‘st the pmount raisod shionld not exceod 100,000 per annum. 1o thought that, witha 19 mill olty $ax and fho Statoand county tax, €100,000 was enough to take out of tho pooplo for park pur- osen, Mr. Runyan wa# invited to nddress Fio gatbioring. 1o gave & listory of tho Park, Mr, Bhorman thought Chicago *was ‘laborin tindor s burdon of dabt and taxation that'shoul tiot bo inoreasod.
