Wilson referred to the remarks of Mr..
Allen, of Massachusetts, as to the pros

He wanted to compare, he said, the con-
dition of the Lowell operatives under
the Walker tariff and their condition
under the present tariff. To show their
condition under the revenue tariff, he
quoted from Dickens american
Notes" an extract highly compliment
ary OF the prosperity and intelligence OF
the Workingmen and women of Lowell;
and to show the reverse of the picture
he quoted an extract from Pigeons
'Old World Questions and New World
Answers" in which the connection of
Lowell operatives is drawing in dark
corners. We will keep the country
rocking from ocean to ocean until we
secure justice and fair dealing among
all the citizens. You may strike down
that tribune of the people at the other
end of the avenue, who, putting aside
all ideas of prudence. spoke out that
ringing summons that rallied the people
as nothing else ever did. You may
strike down the leaders of this fight as
you struck them down in the last con-
greSS and the previous congress. Those
who hold the standard may fall, but
other hands will take it up and move
forward. The Spirit of our intelligence
is behind us. The spirit of liberty is be-
hind US. All we can hope for, the des-
tiny and greatness of this country, urges
US forward; and in the language of our
speaker: "Whoever may falter. who

preserved; that they shall be transmit

signed TO be, of the people, for the peo-

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. May 3.-Congressman
Haughen, of River Falls, Wis, has been
watching Knute Nelson for some time
to prevent a coup d'etat on the Du-
luth bridge bill. Nelson frequently
asks unanimous consent for his meas
ures and gets them through in that
manner. Yesterday Haughen was com
PEELED to accompany constituent to
the departments and left the house dur
ing the tariff debate. About o'clock
Nelson took advantage of Haughen's
absence and asked unanimous consent
for consideration of the Duluth bridge
bill. No one objected, as Knute is
usually lucky in those things, and the
chair was about to put the question to
the house when Il object'' rang out
from the north door as Haughen rushed
in flushed and excited. He will not
give Nelson another opportunity to play
the unanimous consent dodge on that
bill, as the people of Superior would
never forgive him if he let the bill pass.
