What They Have said and Done
Thus Far.

Examination of the Congressional Re
cord, up to Thursday, shows that Senators
Salisbury and Gray and Representative
Lore have each delivered one speech dur
| ing the current session. The remarks of
Mr.. Gray,on the silver question. are fresh
| in the memory of EVERY EVENINGS
readers. Mr.. Lore's subject was the re-
vision of the rules of the House and was
duly noted by EVERY EVENING. Mr.. Saul :
bury spoke briefly during the debate on
rule to exclude intoxicating liquors from
the Capitol and grounds this being the
occasion upon which the New York Sun
referred to him MS Maryland Senator.
In this speech MIR. salisbury said
while do not myself indulge in in
toxicating liquors, have no objection TO
gentlemen who see proper doing SO, nor
would legislnte to stop them from exer-
cising the freest liberty; but, as sena-
tor called upon to say whether liquor
shall be sold or exhibited around the
Senate chamber, believe that the judg-
ment of the country is that it should be
stopped, and hence I voted for the pro-
posed joint rule. / think it is disgrace
to the American people that the capitol
of the country, erected for the enactment
Vi tuMb iol buC vi lub DtODlb
should be converted into a Rrog shop,
where liquor can be exhibited and sold
and where the youth of the land who
come here and who see proper to go to
the restaurant may purchase liquor.
think that we should not suffer this capi-
tol to become grog-shop for tho dissem-
ination of intemperaiIce throughout the |
land. stand upon the resolution firmly |
fixed in my own mind that such joint |
rule ought to be passed and that liquor |
should not be sold within the bounds of |
the capitol"
