Iss Efforts to Oct n Day In ths House for
Consideration Of Its Bllls.
WARRINGTON, D. G., May 17,-1n the
House to-day MI. 0'Neill, Of Missouri,
from the Committee on Labor, moved TO
suspend the rules aud adopt resolution
setting apart the third Of June and the
subsequent days for the consideration Of
business presented by that committee.
Mr.. O'Neill said that the bills which would
be- called up were those prohibiting the
employment Of alien and convict labor on
public works, TO protect mechanics In their
wages and other like measures. The edu.
cation bill would not be called up under
thia order. The statement OF Mr.. 0'Neill
had the effect Of arousing the antGgnoism
Of some OF the friends Of that measure
and this antagoniam had hardly appeared
when Mr.. Willis, Of Kentucky, speaking
as friend OF the bill, said that as mat
ter OF fair play to the Committee on La.
Dor day should be given to the consider
alton OF ils bills. He would trust to the
generosity OF that committee 10 give the
House an opportunity In due time TO con.
slider the Educational bill.
Mr.. 0'Nsill thought II was unfair and
ungenerous In men who pretended to
be friends OF the Educational bill, which
had beon referred to committee to
which 1t did not belong, to put their arms
around the neck OF tnat committee and
throttle everything.
Mr.. Randall, Of Pennsylvania, was op.
posed 10 making labor an accessory 10
carry the Educational bill through. The
day for which the Labor Committee asked
should be confined 10 the consideration OF
matters that related 10 the laboring In
terestg.
Mr.. Dunn, OF Arkansas, affirmed that
the Educational bill had not had fair
play. He had never before seen great
measuIe throttled by such unwarrantable
means as had been Tesorted 10 In order to
stills that bill.
Mr.. o'Neill-The gentleman does not
apply that to our Committee2
kif. Dunn--l apply 1t to those who have
governed this House.
"And," broke in Mr.. Morrison, tapping
himself upon his shoulder, whatever re.
sponsibility attaches To me l take"
laughter.
Mr.. C0WIeg, OF North Uarolina, express
ed his sorrow that Notwithstanding the
declarations Of National and State Demo-
cratic conventions he should fnd himself
among 80 few who were willing openly TO
cham pion the cause Of public education.
Mr.. MorriRon suggested that the gentle-
man forgot what party he was In. The
educational plank had been In the Re-
publican platform, not In the Democratic.
Mr.. Dunn opposed the resolution on
account Of what he considered an unfair
discrimination against the Educational
bill. The opponents ot that measure
we're afraid " let the House vote upon II.
He had found among his file oil reports .
report on the bill extending the bonded
whisky period. That was The same old
bill that had been kicked out pt the
Home during two or three Congresses.
Some gentlemen seemed willing 70 vote
millions for whisky, but not one dollar for
education. Laughter.l That was not bis
platform.
The resolution was agreed 10, yeas l9V /;
nays Is, and the House adjourned.
