But if they are organizing for the purpose of managing and controlling the ronds it simpiy amounts to class legislation which is pernicious and should not be allowed it is asking too much, 1t would be a peculiar state of affair if the farmers or the m nts or laborers or any class of people would get togethier and try to legislate for or against one another. 1 believe that there should be a proper restriction of the railroads, but it is not an easy thing to do this. But give the railroads a'proper show. The very men who are trying to frame these ro strictions will in ninety days find out what a hard job they have on hand and how diffieult it would be to enforce. I do not know whether u schedule law would work to the interests of the ors or not; there is a question as to whether it would not work a hardship, I believe in a railrond commission who should be elected by the people or appointed by the governor and confirmed by one or both houses, in that way we could get the law in protty it to trood shape.

Ho said the underlying principle of all brotherhood and friendly feeling was self- denfal, In the scene on Mount Cavalry was seen tho effort, to reconcile man to man and bring all men within tho bond of fellowship. The world was covered with societies in which men were bound together in_the bonds of fellowship which could ouly bo sovered by leath, The dean_said_that which made men good members of the Royal Arcanum should also make them good members of the church of Christ. There was no organization in the world, he said, which will touch the soul ex- cept the church of Jesus Chrfst. n conclusion the dean said his only prayer was that by painstaking service the members should train themselves for a life in the city of God.
