A RAP AT RANDALL.

LIt III OidIhOuAn slnCEIEll LudnkGu
God that with the aid of a search war
rant there was at last discovered one mo-
nopoly on the continent of which the gen.
tleman was not the champion. He was
delighted to find that there was one thing
which secured the gentleman's opposition
to monopoly. Possibly it was explained
on the ground that it was not located
in the gentleman's section. Mo
nopoly, indeed If this bill were
rejected the only measure of protection
which distjllers would secure would be
that protection which would be found in
seeking aid from foreign governments
which their own refused to accord to
them. He did not believe that the bill
went far enough. He did not think that
any period of limitation should be fixed at
all. He did not believe in the constitu-
tiOnal power of Congress to tax any COM
modify as measure of consumption.
The representatives of the whisky in
terest had come to Congress setting forth
an honest case, and asking on fair and
honest business principles to get relief
They might be driven away, but he
thanked God that they would go as they
came, clean handed, the searching suspi-
ciOns Of the gentlemen in opposition to the
contrary notwithstanding. He knew
that IL the last Congress Messrs. Kelley,
Randall, Herbert, Blount and Dunn had
HOI DeeH OppOHbul5 Vi Iue Dlll.
LITTLE DIVERSION.
Mr.. Blount-''The gentlemen mistakes
as to me-"
Mr.. Blackburn@FDid YOU vote against
an unlimited extension billY'
Mr. BlOunt-''I have not examined the
record"
Mr.. Blackburn-"AndI 1 have, and that
is the difference
Mr.. Dunn-"My views have never
changed"
Mr.. Blackburn said that he did not
object to gentlemen changing their views
on questions OF great national policy. He
knew that they had done it from the best
motives, but he submitted that the line
should be drawn somewhere, and gentle
men should not set themselves up to shape
and fashion laws and sentiments of Con-
gress who shifted their convictions on
questions of national policy with the same
apparent facility, if not frequency, that
they were supposed to change their linen.
Mr.. Blackburn's speech was listened to
with great attention, and at its conclusion
he was warmly applauded by his party
associates.
The general debate having ended, Mr..
BlOunt, of Georgia, moved to strike out
the enacting clause of the bill, and this
was agreed to by vote of I3l to 81. The
committee then rose and reported its
action to the House, when it was confirm
ed by vote Of 1S5 yeas to SO nays.

ARUSH FOR NEW MATTER.
The whisky bill being disposed of there
was general rush to secure precedence
for consideration Of other measures on
the calendar as special orders.
Mr.. Payson, of Illinois, called up the
bill for the forfeiture Of lands granted to
aid in the construction of a railroad in
Oregon; Mr.. Dowd, of North Carolina,
that for the retirement of the trade dollar
Mr.. Reagan, the Interstate commerce
bill, Mr.. Hunt, the shipping bill,
and all were antagonized by Mr..
Cox, of New York, who wished to pro-
ceed with the business on the Speakers s
table.
Mr.. Dowd was successful in his effort,
and the House proceeded to consider the
bill called up by him. The bill provides
that until January 1. 1886. trade dollars
shall be received at their face value in
payment of all dues to the United States
and shall not be paid out again that
holders of trade dollars may receive in
exchange thereof at the office of the Trea-
surer or any Assistant Treasurer of the
United States standard!dollars; that trade
dollars so received shall be transmitted
to the coinage mints and recoined into
standard dollars, and that trade dollars
so received at the coinage mints shall be
regarded as silver bullion, and at their
bullion value shall be deducted from the
amount of bullion required to be pur-
chased and coined by the act of February
%, 1878. After debate and without action
