The Members of the House Have n Silly
Discussion Over a Childish Resolution.
WAsuISGToN, March 2.-The house re-
solved itself into kindergarten to-day and
did the ''baby act'' to perfection.
Mr. Mills moved to suspend the rules and
adopt resolution that the committee ap-
pointed to arrange the inaugural ceremonies,
having declined to give the representatives
in congress their proper place, we will de-
cline to take any part in said ceremonies at
the capitol.
Mr. Hammond felt that the house was
about to do, under passion, very unseemly
thing. On the 4th of March president of
the United States was to be inaugurated and
it was usual that the house OF representa-
tives should be with the senate and other
public officials to witness that great scene.
A resolution which declared that because
the house had to sit behind other gentlemen
in the senate it would not sit there at all was
puerie The house, instead of maintaining q
its dignity, was losing it. 1t was Offering in
tentionally what seemed to be an insult TO
the committee which 1t bad never intended
to insult. or to inflict on 1t an affront of any
sort. Mr.. Young earnestly protested against
the house
INFLICTISG THIS DisCoURTEsY
on the president Of the United States. Mr.
Reagan supported the resolution, and said
that the house should not submit TO the SEN
ate taking control and ignoring the represent
atives of the people. Preference had been
given to diplomats, judges, military officers
and the heads OF bureaus over the representa-
tives. The congress of the United States was
authorized to make arrangements for the in
augural ceremonies, and single body was
not authorized to dictate and arrange 1t. The
senate committee had not done otherwise
than offer an intentional and deliberate dis
courtesy, and the representatives would have
TO answer to their constituents for this dis
courtesy. Mr.. Kelley stated that he had been
present at six inaugurations, and the pro-
gram on this occasion was no departure from
the precedent.
Mr.. Hammond said he had no intention Of
allowing Republican senate to keep him
away from seeing
GROVER CLEVELAND IyAUGUEATED.
It was the first time he had had chance to
see Democrat inaugurated, and he intended
te see it. [Applsuse.l lie did not propose
that anything should keep him from his
proper place to witness the Inauguration OF
man in whose hands the people had placed
the scepter for the next four years
Mr. John s. Wise of Virginia regarded
the place which has been assigned the rep
resentatives as one of the many slight out
groupings OF growing evidence ofsupcrior-
ity supposed 10 exist in the senate Of the
United States. In the program presented
the seus.e assr1rnPd tn rsrresent the leCisla-
tive branch OF the government and allow
the poor house Of representatives to follow
along as little dog under wagon. He was
glad Of the opportunity here and now to
enter his emphatic protest on behalf OF the
Representatives OF the people against these
entertainments OF the would-be aristocratic
body, the senate Of the United States.
Mr. Mills supported his resolution and
said that the representatives, Of the people
we're not going to see the tail end with the
boot-blacks. The resolution vas defeated.
Yeas 55, Hays 1ss, and the house took q
recess
