Harper," said the Speaker, sadly, "offers the following resolution, and moves its adoption: 'Resolved, that the Committee on Incorporations be instructed to report House bill number 302, entitled "An act to incorporate the Pingsquit Railroad," by eleven-thirty o'clock to-morrow morning' the gentleman from Putnam, Mr. Bascom."
It is the Senate which, in this somewhat inaccurate repetition of history, hold the citadel if not the bridge; and in spite of the howling mob below their windows, scornfully refuse even to discuss the Pingsquit bill. The Honourable Hilary Vane, whose face they study at dinner time, is not worried.
He has made the statement that he and his committee are giving to the Pingsquit bill and other measures some other measures their undivided attention. Of this I have no doubt whatever. He neglected to define the species of attention he is giving them I should define it as the kindly care which the warden of a penitentiary bestows upon his charges." Mr. Crewe was interrupted here.
I have taken the trouble to examine a little into the gentleman's past record he has been chairman of such committees for years past, and I find no trace that bills inimical to certain great interests have ever been reported back by him. The Pingsquit bill involves the vital principle of competition.

"Yes," said Austen.
"I'm going up to the Pingsquit Valley on Friday," he answered. "Then you'd better come up to Leith to see me as soon as you get back," said Mr. Crewe. "These things can't wait, and have to be dealt with practically." Young Tom had not been the virtual head of the Gaylord Company for some years without gaining a little knowledge of politics and humanity.
If you'll only say the word, Austen, we'll work up a movement around the State that'll be hard to beat." "Tom," said Austen, laying his hand on young Mr. Gaylord's farther shoulder, "you're a pretty good fellow. Where did you say that livery-stable was? "I'll go sleigh-riding with you," said Mr. Gaylord. "I guess the Pingsquit bill can rest one afternoon."
In spite of the strange omission of the State Tribune to print his speech and to give his victory in the matter of the Pingsquit bill proper recognition, Mr. Crewe was too big a man to stop his subscription to the paper.
