House,.

The House went into committee on the ar
my appropriation bill amendment, reducing
the army to $4,000. 1t was defeated by
large majority.
Quite a strong debate arose on the army
appropriation BILL on an amendment offered
by Cox of New York, to reduce the army to
1900 men, in the course of which Mills of
Texas, charged the democrats with the re-
spOnsibility of Clusters death, because of their
miserable economy.
The House, in committee of the whole, re-
jected an amendment reducing the army to
! 1000, and also that reducing it to 90, 600
66 to lis.
Mr. Kiefer asserted that if it had not been
for the few troops gathered in Washington by
President Grant two years ago, the decision
of the electoral commission would have been
overturned by violence and revolution, and
man put in the Presidency who was not elect
ed by the people. He was in favor of larg-
er army than 25,000.
Mr.. Cox of n. Y, said there was not
member on the floor who did not understand
very well that but for a certain menace and
but for sending out of orders for troops and
artillery to come to Washington, the electoral
commission had never been created. When
that menace came from the chief executive,
and when all the arrangements had been
iittdSs \as aIt p'iilR iiidue nv" ioi locoJ
they had been frightened, and that fright had
been the real cause of the electoral commits
SION This menace had made some members
of the House succumb to power that was
merely physical, not moral. That was part
at the history of the country. The bill ap-
propriated some SIG, 900, 900 for %, 900 sol
diers. The same average had existed for the
last ten years. What good had it ever done?
Had it settled the Indian question? No. Had
it given protraction in the Rio Grande? No.
1t had only eaten out the substance of the
people.
