the House
Mr.. DAVIS. now ask for the reading of
the resolution adopted some two years ago
upon this subject, by the Senate; and being
DESTROYS of learning what construction is given
to it, would inquire of the Chair, whether, in
its opinion the resolution is designed to discon-
tinue the usages which have previously existed
The resolution of March 2S, $780, was read,
as follows,
"Resolped, That in future, when a member
of Congress dies, and has been buried in the
vacation, the Senate will not feel itself called
upon to extend to the memory of the deceased
the honors md ceremonies which have been Of
late years usually awarded but will restric,
itself hereafter to the appropriation Of those
honors and ceremonies to cases Of the death OF
members during the session of Congress"
THE PRESIDING OFFICER. As the Senator
from Massachusetts has requested the opinion
of the Chair in relation TO the effect of that res
olution, will give it. My opinion is that i
suspends the former usages of the Senate upor
such occasions.

/ MIR. SUMNER. Mr.. President, only short
month before the close of our last session, Mas

in the other House, suddenly removed from
sharing our duties here. This bereavement
was commemorated by formal proceedings at

Since then-during our brief recess-~two more

To dwell on their memory and to claim for

The prOudest now is but my peer,
The highest not more high.

king Of men am
To-day alike are great and small.
The nameless and the known;
My palace is the peoples hall
The ballot-box my throne.
Who serves to-day upon the list
Beside the served shall stand;
Alike the brown and wrinkled fist
The gloved and dainty hand
The rich are level with the poor,
The weak are strong to-day;
And sleekest broadcloth counts no more
Than homespun frock gray.
To-day let pOmp and vain pretonce
My stubborn right abide
set plain mans common sense
Against the pedant's pride
To-day shall simple manhood try
The strength of gold aud land
The wide world has not wealth 10 buy
The power in my right hand
While there's grief to need redress
Or balance to adjust,
Where weighs our loving manhood less
Than Mammon's vilest dust
While there's a right to claim my vote,
Or wrong to sweep away,
Up clouted knee and ragged coat
A mans a man to-day

We have no complete official returns yet
from California
In three of tho free States there has been q
decrease in the total vote in FIVE years, as fol-
lows: Maine 5,949, Vermont 30Ss, Massa-
chusetts s,2l4-total ls,o54. In the other
States there has been an increase
The total vote given by fifteen free States IN
ls4s and 1852 was as follows:
ls48 1852. Inc. in years
2,o2s,s6l 2,254,24s 225,3S7
In every one of these States there has been
n Democratic increase since lS4S; and the
total Democratic increase in the fifteen States Is
300, 500.
In Maine, Vermont Massachusetts,, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the Wing vote has
fallen off. since is4s, 1905. In the other
ten States, its total increase in four years is
1892.
For the sake of the general method, which
apples fairly to the old parties, we have COM
nared the votes of lS4S and 1882 but this
comparison, as we have remarked, does injus-
tce to the Free Democratic vote. The Net1
York Herald properly remarks:
There has been large increase of the
Abolition vote since the Presidential election
of 1874, which is the true date of comparison,
the vote for Van Buren, in ls4S being largely
made up from the Democratic ranks, particu-
larly of those who were dissatisfied with the
nomination of Cass'
Comparing the vote Hale received in the free
States with the Birney vote of 1914, it stands
