and amused the House by proposition. IL "aS
evident he had not taken counsel OF his Repuohcan
associates for Mr. Reed shortly afterward Character
lied the proposition as one for which Judge hehey
had properly said he was individually responsioio'
Mr.. KeIlcy's plan this. He was very desirous
of releasing Congress from tho necessity Of sitting all
through the summer heat. He proposed that as inc
Democratic Convention at st. Louis had
indorsed tho Mills bill and the Presl-
dents MESSAGE and tho Republican Con-
vention at Chicago had condemned both, the ISSUE
should be left for the voters to decide at the Noven-
Der election His proposition was that II the Mills
bill should be sustained by the votes cast at the next
election, the Republicans would withdraw their oppo-
sltion, and H., the other hand It should be CON
demned unmistakabiy, the bill would be no further
pressed. In the meantime he suggested that furher
discussion of the bill be postponed TIL the next session
Of Congress He further suggested that, as con-
cession to the condition that confronts u.s. the oher
side Of the House should allow the entire Internal
tax upon tobacco to be repealed instead OF making
600 OF the S31 100000 of revenue derived from tha'
source.

true, 1t was somewhat remarkable, he said, that
proposition should be submitted from the minority
side to tho majority side when that majority had been
instructed TO go forward and press the Dill To u ma
passage. Their path of duty was plain one anu
was to press tho bill, in season and out OF season.
until the unnecessary and unjust taxation on the nece
sares of life was reduced and the surplus In the Treas
ury relieved. He had counter proposition to MAKE
that an early day should be fixed upon which tho Dill
should be put upon Its passage in the House.
