THE OPPOSITION EXPLAINS.
WASHINGTON, April s.-RspreseniatlVe
Oates Of Alabama, who has taken lead
ing part in the nght ags nsl the direct tax
bill, makes statement Ct the reasons
which influence the opponents OF the OIL
in their conduct in opposing Its consider
stion. TIE proposition has been stated in
debste and published from time to time IN
the public prints. In closing Mr.. Oates
says: This bill has provoked al sgi!a-
| ton 10 favor OF refundipg the cotton TAX,
but no bill has been brought forward and
pressed for that purpose. l gave
notice, which l do not recall, thst
II this bill Is 10 be passed,
will at the proper time ofer an amend
ment. We could 81 any time since the
consideration of this bill began have al
lowed /. to proceed to point in commit
tee Of the whole when We
might hlye offered any Amendment
we saw proper, but cur opposition to
the bill is such that no amendment which
can be adopted, except it be to strike out
the enacting clause, can make 1t accept
able to US. This bill Is not before the
House according TO Its rules and IN the
usual course of procedure. II has rot
been reached in its order on the calendar,
but has by an unusual report from the
committee en- rules been placed before all
other business and held there TO the ex
clusion OF ali other business. In matter
involving such vital principles OF const-
tutional government as it involves and In
which the people are ten fold more deeply
Interested than in the distribution among
the states of any amount OF
money from its federal treasury we feel
that 1t Is our duty, though in the minor
lty, to resort to every legitimate means
which the House allows.
It was the intention TO have held C
, Democratic caucus this evening, but the
Representatives opposed to the direct tax
dill de eated the purpose by continuing
the HOUSE session through the evening.
COLORADO PUBLIC PARK.
WASHINGTON, April 9-The bill to
!, establish q public PARK in the state
of Colorado, to be known as the
Royal Arch park, was fsvorably
reported from the Senate commit e
on public lands day, with an amenc-
ment exemptiDg any kinds of within des-
ignated lands that may be claimed under
the homestead, presumption, timber cul-
ture and mineral laws of the United States.
SHIPPING FREIGHT BY MAIL.
WARRINGTON, April 9-ColCnel Dom
. Piatt appeared before the Senate commit
, tee on post roads and posto ffices, to sd
vocate the passage of the House bill to
prohibit the transmission Of cheap litera-
ture By mail at cent pound. He said
that BY the misuse of the word ''periodi-
car Ii law the mails had become crowded
WITH matter of which the seaside library
publications are "a example, 10 such An
extent that our postal cars must be
changed to freight cars If 1t goes further.
The Third Assistant Postmaster General
had authorized him to state this. He de-
fined periodicals to be periodical pub
9 locations of miscellaneous matter more
elaborate than q newspaper, yet not SO
elaborate as 8 book. II was an insult to
: inteIligercs to call sucn publication IS
) he exhibited, volume of the Seaside,
periodical. They were not published as
i, periodicals. The publishers did not &c
SO f.r. UAder the name Of library they
went through the msiis. All that
appealed to the lowest passions CT
] me lowest classes was being distributed
: by the government in partnership with
the publishers, and that under the plea q
disseminating knowledge. They In
cluded novels of Miss Braddon, which
j might be called the "bigamy" class, those
, OF Oaids the "adultery" clsss, and the
1 JACK Shepherd class of publications. The
person was made just as attractive as
great genius could make 1t.
