The House was enlivened by long
and entertaining debate on the question

pOrtant business was transacted. The
committee on revision of the rules of the

again we want to mete out to him the
requisite punishment of forcing him to
live for four years under Democratic
Administration. Then he will want to

Hon. II. J. WALLS, Commissioner of
Labor Statistics has completed and sub
mitted his report, which is quite lengthy,
and gives an exhaustive number Of ia
bles showing the general advance in the
number of blast furnaces, mining Of ore
and coal, as well as the number of mills
for the manufacture of iron. The report
shows large increase in the number
now in operation, as well as wages paid,
all going to show an increased demand
and correspondingly higher wages to
employees in all the districts where iron
is made and mills are running.
