Hoasse Of Representatives

WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-The morning hour

alton Of the apportionment bill, and Mr.. Her
bert continued his speech in opposition to any
increase in the membership of the house. Mr..
Joyce protested against the bill reported by
the census committee, saying it was blow at

Mr.. Hewitt did not fear an increase in the
number of members provided rational system
was adopted for transaeting public business.
As now arranged the whole machinery of con-
gress was made on the principle Of "how not
to do it.'' In consequence of the resulting
paralysis, business was suffering all over the
country. He warned congress that calamities
greater than these which visited this country
In 1873 would come upon US unless congress
addressed itself to the Intelligent and patriotic
regulation of the internal revenue and tariff
questions. Then, too, congress must be re.
lieved from the pressure Of special legislation.
On the first day of thus session he had intro
ducsd a wise measure to accomplish this end,
known as the Potter bill. He wished to bear
tribute to the memory of the great man, If
the house weuld confine itself to common
sense and good order in its rule it could ham
die the business before It, and then, he said,
We need not fear any numerical increase in
membership.

Mr.. Deering expressed his preference for 322
Mr.. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, commended
that the smaller states had too much power
already.
Mr.. Clements Supposed the bill.
Mr. Anderson said some gentleman thought
32l was the proper number, but he did not

ference in bear garden of SCI. He did not

ton of question. The proceedings Of the

Mr. Page believed the bill of the committee

Mr.. Tillman opposed the bill. For exam
pie, he favored house of 600. During Gen.
Grants's administration the house was
proportionately smaller than it had been
before and then was the time
that executive authority reigned, and when
the lobby dominated legislative authority to
accumulate public money and property In
individual hands. He was in favor of making
the house of representatives Gibraltar I'M
pregnsble to bribery or intimidation. In
the course of his further remarks Tillman
made some alluslon to universal suffrage. and
asserted that universal suffrage led to univer.
sal damnation, and when the laugh which
this remark gave rise to had subsidized he ac-
cused the Republican party of agreeing with
him, citing as proof of the fact that 1t had
abolished universal suffrage in the District OF
Columbia. He expressed the wish that the
senate was composed of 300 members. That
would place that body above suspicion. The
people believed some senator's had procured
their seats by corrupt means. "Iden't mean
that 10 any offensive way" he explained. (He
saw Senator Anthony occupying the chair in
