The Debate ON the House Rules.
VIEWS OF MEssRs. HOLMAN, wELLBoRN AND
BLoUNT.
After The STARS report closed yesterday after
noon. the debate on the rules was continued by
Mr.. Holman who devoted his attention chiefly
to opposing the abolition OF the clause OF the
rule known as the "Holman amendment -
which enables legislation to be engrafted on APP
omy. He warned the democratic party not to
exchange q rule which prohibited legislation,
except In this interest, for one which would
allow legislation increasing expenditures.
While he admitted that the river and harbor,
Notifications and District OF Columbia appro-
the committees having Jurisdiction Of those
subjects, he argued that the other bills could
not be distributed without causing great con-
fusion and disorder In the methods of appro-
priation.
Mr. Wellborn, Texas democrat, spoke in be-.
point that under the present system the des-
TIMES OF the whole people were under the con-
troll OF the dfteen gentlemen who composed the
appropriations committee. Il would be better
to submit to any evil than to this domination
Of the House by Q handful of members.
the remedy for the trouble lay I'm either of the
propositions before the House. The proper
remedy was to take away from the committee
on appropriations the power to put Q single
legislative proposition upon an appropriation
bill, and then give TO the other COMMITTEES .
ness reported by them. He believed that the
committee on appropriations, IL IL had no
power to place leg1slAtiou upon appropriation
bills, could report them - IN early day.
