and Senate besinh to-day. The Repub

The House OF Representatives promi-
ses silver and nothing but 81 liver for the
next ten days. Sixty members have
signified their intention to be heard on
this subject, and yet all agree that the
talk will change no mans vote nol
lead to any legislation. When the last
man has made his speech, the House
will be likely 10 vote against the sus-
pension OF silver coinage by large
majority, and that will be the only
positive financial act done by Congr ess
this winter.
The inv vestigation of Solicitor General
Goode, who 10 to conduct the Pan
Electric Telephone salt in place oil
Attorney General Garland, Is in pro
gress. The proceedings are in secret
and but one witness at o time Is allowed
to come before the committee. When
1t was made known that certain charges
had been made against the Solicitor
General, that woald preventhis confir.
nation by the Senate, he went to Sena
tor Edmuhds aud asked to sec the
charges that had been preferred before
the Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Edmunds, the chairman, replied
that Mr.. Goode would be given due
notice when the committee took up the
matter, and every opportunity would
be given him to defend himself.
Congress has had 30 much irrelevant
talk Of late that 1t was found necessary
10 set apart one day of each week (Sat,
urdsy was agreed upon) for general
debate, thus giving members an oppor-
tunity for clearing up personal differ
ences. Scarcely a day passes that
some member does not give mortal
offense to another, by remarks Of n
personal nature, but at the time both
are prevented from saying all they
wish to say on account of the rules.
Hereafter, Saturday will be free day
for all. Every Congressman with q
grievance will make 1t known, and the
House galleries will be crowded with
visitors, for there 10 nothing that the
latter enjoy 30 much as partisan or
personal quarrel.
Apr0pos OF quarrels, there was q
bitter one in the Senate few days
since between two members OF the
happy Democratic family. IL was ac-
|commod atingly Omitted from the Senate
report of the Congressional Record.
The episode was quite as personal as
anything that has occurred in Congress
of late years, and has made breach
betwee Senators Morgan, Of Alabama,
and George, of Mississippi, that cannot
easily be healed. In the course of q
speech ON the Educational bill which
Mr.. George advocates and Mr.. Morgan
opposes, the former Senator undertook
to convict the latter Of inconsistency
by reading remarks OF his delivered In
the last Congress. Mr.. Morgan said
the reading misrepresented him, and
the Senator from Mississippl knew It,.
Mr.. George retorted that this statement
was untrue, and that Mr.. Morgan knew
it. Other equally unparliamentary ex-
changes were made, and the Senators
from Alabama and Mississippi NO longer
speak as they pass by. K.
