HOUSE.


After the transaction of unimportant busi-
ness, the House went into committee of the
whole on the urgent deficiency bill. Mr.
Kerr, of Iowa, speaking on one of the de
fciency items for the department of justice
referred to the internal revenue laws and de-
clared that at one of its State conventions
the Democratic party of Missouri had passed
resolution asking the repeal of the internal
revenue system.
Messrs. Barnes and Hatch, of Missouri,
denied that such a resolution had ever been
adopted.
Mr.. Kerr said the gentlemen were mistak-
en- and would find every Democratic conyen-
tion in Missouri for the past ten years had
adopted resolution demanding that Con-
gress should wipe off the statute books the
provision OF the revenue law, which prevent
ed the farmer from selling tobacco to any
been passed by a Republican Congress and
signed by a Republican President, and it
fastened shackles upon the tobacco growers.
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, inquired why the
Democratic Congress did not repeal it.
Mr.. Hatch replied that he had at every
session introduced a bill to that effect, but
while it could pass the Democratic House it
could not pass the Republican Senate.
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, thought it
mattered not what had been done in the past

ute books those iniauitous sections. Ap-
plause.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, inquired whether the
gentleman (Hatch) was opposed to the repeal
of the internal revenue taxes.
Mr.. Hatch replied that he was opposed to
their repeal until the taxes on the necessa-
ries of life were first reduced. Applause.
Mr.. Burnes remarked upon the manner in
which the House bubbled over when tobac-
co was mentioned, and expressed the fear
that when the other element covered by the
internal revenue law was mentioned reg
ular Pandora's box would be opened. He
then brought back the discussion on the sub
ject of the natter of the bill.
Amendments were adopted appropriating
$4,000 for the support of United States pris-
oners, and directing the public printer to
enforce rigidly the provisions of the nine
hour law. Having completed the considera-
ton of the bill, the committee arose.
Pending final action on the bill, the House
took recess until evening, when the Pacific
railroad telegraph oil will be debated.
Evening Session.
The House met at 8 o'clock and adjourned
at II, after several speeches on the Pacific
railroad telegraph bill had been delivered.
The general tone of the remarks was strong

society might be organized. As this is in
our line of work in which the W. c. T. L.

so thoroughly discussed that flower mis-
sion service was Immediately organized.
A committee of young ladies meets at the
w. c. 7. L. rooms every Saturday after
noon to arrange into bouquets all flowers
that have been sent in during the day and
distribute them throughout the city. Thus
far only enough flowers have been donated
to send bouquets to the hospitals, where
they have been highly appreciated by the
patients. If they had more flowers they
would be able 30 do more efficient work
and feel that much good might
be done. VIII all ladies through
out the city who are interested
in this work assist by donating flowers and
in any other way they can. Please send
the flowers TO the W. c. T. L. rooms by /

SEWER RIGHT OF WAY.

The sewer right of way matter is receiv.
ing the attention of Messrs. Giloway, Red
field and Charles Smith They report
little difficulty in the matter whenever
they are able to find the owner, but way
down south where they have been at work
they have been just lucky enough to find
the property owners ''up town. at bust
ness and hard to find The difficulty
comes with the work of finding and not
with getting consent for right OF way and
making out papers
Without an exception so far all have
been willing to give the right of way free
and glad to do SO in order 20 facilitate
matters. 1t is thought little difficulty
will Ike encountered anywhere in the city
in the work.
Referring to the right Of way business a
councilman not member of the sewer
committee was led to remark: You re-
member some members of that
committee bickered violently over the idea
OF getting someone else outside of the
committee to do the work in right Of way
matters and pay them for it. The answer
ed that the work was very important and
could be done by gentlemen of personal
influence more successfully than by any
one else and were very economic besides
according to statements thinking it would
cost considerable to get the work done
outside. Now after all the filabustering is
over and time for work comes see some
fellows have been hired to do the work
and they are doing it,
Think the council should hold special
meeting TO look over bids and award the
contract. This will probably take the
greater part of an evening anyway and
besides it should be let as soon as possible
so we could get at work. ] am in favor of
call meeting just as soon as the ten days
are out for the advertisement
