WASHINGTON, Dec. 22d.-The
Trouble in the House commenced
by Viewers arraigning the Demo-
fratic party for Inconsistency on
fhe financial question, stating that
that party In its State and National
platforms encamped every four
years on the ground where the Re.
publicRns had encamped the four
years before. He was frequently
interrupted by Regain, Warner,
Finlay. Roland ami others, and his
replies to them were received with
laughter on the Republican side.
kegan 10 defended the Demo-
oratic party from the charge of in.
Consistency, and retaliated that
charge on Weaver and the Green
back party.
Atilt between Weaver aud Bland
Followed. The latter referred to
the charge made against Weaver
I'm the last campaign, that he was
hcting In the interest of the Repub-
licans, and said his action then cor.
responded with his speech to day.
Weaver tried to interrupt Bland.
|assertiug that his statement was
not true.
Bland asked Weaver about his
Ireputed interview during the CAM
paigu with Jay HubbelI, Chairman
0f the Congressional Republican
Committee.
Weaver denied that any such in
kerview had taken place, aud
Enlarged the falsehood OF that story
on d. ID. Lum, who. he said, had
sold out TO the Republican and
democratic parties, aud both par
ties were cheated when they
thought him. He did not charge
Inconsistency on the Democratic
party iteelf, but on the leaders--on
the men who ran with the hounds
and held with the hare. These
were the men whom he desired to
Fh0ld up to public condemnation as
being unworthy to lead the oppo.
hilton TO the Republican party,
which sought To fasten on the
\Qountry the Rristish system Of per.
petual debt.
Sparks d. got the floor aud al
|luded to Il circumstance that had
occurred during the Interruptions
between Weaver, Bland and 9TH
fers, In which Weaver had used an
defensive term TO him-that he was
|Crszy. He went on in gOod-na-
Itursd manner to excuse the ofIens.
i've rel mark, vs. rising from a mis-.
on Weaver's partas
to what he (Sparks) had said to
/ call 1t out.
Weaver replied in tho same tone
SOf pleassntry and good humor. de-
yClining to take offsnse at what
|SpArks had said, and intimating
that NO one could venture to insult
him Intentionally by ascribing
fAlsehood to him without feeling
the force Of his (Wsavef's) right
Arm.
Sparks, on hearing the latter re.
mark, changed his tone from one
bf pleassntry to one Of anger aud
bald, II spurn with contempt the
lrea0h of his arm. The reach OF his
Harm would affect one as little as 1t

We'll, that was sufficient. Does
mot the gentleman see that he

Tall when he is excited. Never!

farm. He eau do so. In the tenn

His apology was ample, and ac-
cept IL; but caution him against
further use of the term "falsehood"

gArded, / believe, az equal to o

HpArks-Does the gentleman say
that used the word "false hood?"
WsAver-So understand.
SpArks-Oh, no. Yours are Ger.
tainiy the first offensive words.
Weaver (still good humoredly).
We are all right now.
Hparks-You misunderstood me.
I say that you were stating what

was all there was Of 1t, but 1t was
developed at the last election that
you wanted those qualities.
Weaver (now thoroughly anger
Cd and sxcited)-T denounce the

Sparks equally excited You
