Persons living within sight and sound

We quote, here and there, from the
pungent and incisive speech Of lIr.
Kendall:
Sir, have opposed this amendment
and intend to oppose it. because 4 teiteue
and sr,aotc IL to be a B,0nstrouS ,rrong, be-
c2use 1 beliere and k-no,e il to be simply a
Spnliatioa Of tie rights Of others. The
gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr. Neg
ley has labored hard aud with his usual
vehemence in attempting TO show that l
am inconsistent III my action. L can
well afford to be indifferent to his laborsd
effusion, to the scraps ne has cu!led
from speeches l have made here and
elsewhere in which l have alluded to :hs
Su.ro tunnel. Why, l would gladly
have aided him i'll his remarks. and
would have found for his use language
Of iIine still more strongly commanding
the Sutro tunnel enterprise. Indeed,
said in the outset Of this discussion,
only the other day, these words:
l wish this enterprise Of the SUtro
tunnel to proceed. l have believed, and
still believe, that i. will do much to de-
veiop and encourage tie mining interests
of the West. l have been in favor, and
an still in favor. OF appropriate legisla-
ton in its aid. Irepeat and reaffirm all
that have said in Its favor. Bat l will
not, if 1 know it, iesislate for ccEtro-
versy. for suit pending.
And l said again on the same day:
And here take occasion to repeat that
I have been, and still an, friendly to the
Sutro tunnel enterprise. l have spoken
IN its behalf here and before the psopls
in my State l should rejoice TO see it
encouraged by Government aid. will
oppose, with all the force and influence
possess. any infringement on the rights
of its projectors. Hence l will support
a part Of the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Indiana Mr. Holman.
And for the reason tina. l support the
ono, for that reason l oppose the other.
The one protects vested rights; the
other tramples them in the dust.
And l repeat again and again, if nee
essary, that l am friendly to this enter
prise of Mr. Sutro; and have, certainly,
no animcsity toward him personally. 1
have tried to befriend his efforts. He is
to me like any other man engaged in an
undertaking having pubic bearing
no more, no less. l have favored and
still do favor the Sutro tunnel enterprise
by all legitimate means. But that,
hope and trust. does not compel me to
support in its behalf measure of con-
fiscation of the rights Of others.
Such is the gentleman from Pennsyl
vania. His example is not safe for ordi-
nary men to initiate. He masters tie
details of mining on the Comstock and
its relations to Congress all equally well.
He touches nothing in legislation which
he does not adorn by the marks of his
wonderful genius.
If you do not mean positive legislation
in behalf and in favor of Mr. Sutro you
will join US In voting to table this bill.
1 protest against its passage with this
amendment in the name of the people of
all classes in the vicinity of the Com
stock mines, who would be ruiuously
affected by such measure, who have re
monstrated against this great wrong that
is threatened
Kendall is entitled to unstinted praise
for his Efforts at protecting the true in
terests of his constituents as against this
outrageous measure
