the gentleman did not rise from his seat, a'
the rule required. The Chair sustained
( the polRt.
Mr.. Eskridge claimed the attention OF
the Chair. The Chair recognized him.
/ Mr.. Thurman, who also claimed the at
/ tentiou of the Chair, desired TO appeal; but
was not allowed to do so. lie was ruled
ont Of order.
Mr.. Eskridge demanded the pending
question.
Before the question was ordered Mir

cision of the Chair.
PERSONAL, But NOT UNFRIENDLY.

TIE APPEAL.
Mr.. Smith was allowed to put in his ap
peal and Mr.. Thurman spoke to il, an(
also Of that unusual ruling that senator
must rise from his Olrn seat or be ruled on
OF order when he addresses the presiding
officer.
Mr.. Riddlcberger maintained that thougl
the pending question was not ordered, thC
presiding officer had called for all in favor
OF ordering the pending question to rise
and that therefore the vote was being
taken.
Mr.. Thurman showed that no matter
about that, according TO the rule Mr.
Smiths motion was In order.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lewis said that ii
giving his decision he thought the pending
question had been ordered.
The whole question was whether tht
Senate was actually taking vote when th'
motion to adjourn was made. The rule, q,
read by Mr.. Thurman, is that member
NAV be recognized before the noes are put
il was by nobody contended that the noe,
had been put.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Mr. Thurman occupied the floor for IN
hour and half-evidcntly to kin time
and had read by the clerk the pending bill
as a part OF his argument. To that Dir. Rid
dleberger objected.
Mr.. Riddlcberger rise to a point O
order. The senator is discussing n deci
sion from the Chair. and not the bill th,
Clerk j. reading. That bill has no bearin.
upon this question.
Mr.. Thurman II is part OF my remarks
Mr.. Riddleberger: You have as mucl
right to read the Ten Commandments.
Mr.. Thurman: II would do you good [,
have them read.
The President The point OF the Senator
from shenandoah Is well taken.
Mr.. Lybrook: am sorry the Ten Com
mandments are not read here every morn
ing.
| Mr.. Riddleberger: Three times da,
would be better for you.
