Omaha hotel, to reporter after the theater.

things going on around here that would
amuse you, but it doesn't always pay us to
say anything about them"
At this time there were not many guests of
the hotel in the office, and those who still sat
and ehatted began to look sleepS, and one
by one drifted away to bed till only the
reporter remained besides the clerks and
porters. Just then bus pulled up at the
door and fOrid travelling man rushed up to
the counter, grabbed pen and registered.
Then he leaned toward Mr.. Watson and con-
fidentially asked if there was any mail for
him and seemed surprised that there was

packages, his surprise apparently increasing
as he was assured successfully in the negative.
Then he called messenger boy and sent
note, which it took him some time to COM
pose and then went to his room
A very small well dressed man came up to
the counter, and in voice that left no doubt
as to his being about three-quarters ''shot,"
asked for the key to No -, which was hand
ed TO him; he went up on the. elevator, but
returned very soon, saying that it was the
wrong key, and that he had gotten into
some other mans room. He asked for his
washing, bit it had not come in from the
laundry, and, storming and swearing. he left
the house. Later a policeman walked him
into the Office. and it took three porters to
put the guest TO bed.

was apparent that he meant to stay there,

the price of lodging the sleeper walked out

On Sherman's Speech

LONDON, September 20.-The Morning
Post, commenting upon Senator Sher-
mans speech in Congress, says:
"Englishmen will not resist deliber-
ate decision on the part of Canada 10
seek either independence or a union
with the United States. The Canadians
do not need Senator Sherman's assur-
ance that the United Stats will admit
them. The fact that so able a man as
Senator Sherman should condescend
to such a device is strange comment
upon the political condition OF his
country. "

HOUSE.

Burns, of Missouri, called up the
conference report on the sundry civil
appropriation bill and the House re-
fused by SO to At to agree to it.
Payson, of Illinois, moved that the
House insist upon its disagreement to
the amendment of the Senate relative
to the library building. Coupled with
his motion is a declaration that part Of
the House favor the original PROPOSE
ton of the House, suspending the pro-
gress of the existing work, authorizing
the Senate and House committees on
public buildings to invite from five
leading architects, plans and specifca-
tions for a library building, which will
not exceed in cost 81, 000, GOO. The COM
mites have leave the report at any
time, and the report shall be privileged.
Payson subsequently withdrew the
proposition and further conference
was ordered on the bill.
After the reading of telegram con-
corning Kelly's denomination, Holman
reported bill suspending the operation
of the pre- emption. timber and desert
land laws until the pending bills relat
ing to these laws are acted upon.
Ordered printed and recommitted.
Morrow, Of California, offered re-
solution reciting the passage OF the
Chinese bill by the House and Senate,
the signing of the enrolled bill by the
presiding officers of the two houses,
its delivery to the committee on en-
rolled bills, and the fact that it is now
in the possession of acting-Chairman
Kilgore. 1t further cited1 the report in
the Washington Post that the bill is
being withheld from the President by
the committee on enrolled bills and de-
clsres that such action of the commit
tee is without authority of law. 1t di-
reefs the committee on enrolled bills to
transmit the bill to the President with
out further delay.
Mcmillan, OF Tennessee, raised the
point of order that the resolution did
not present question of privilege.
There was no showing of a delay in the
transmission Of the bill that was I'M
reasonable or unusual.
Morris said that he had been told by
Kilgore this morning that the bill was
still in his possession. If bill could
be withheld for day it could be for six
months. The unwritten rules of the
House required that the bill should be
delivered promptly to the President.
Mcmillan said that when the gentle
man sought 10 smirch colleague he
ought to have the law on his side.
Would the gentleman point o1t the
rule which fixed any particular time
within which bills should be transmitted
to the President?
Morrow replied that there was no
written rule, but it was an unwritten
law which governed the proceedings IN
cases like this.
Mcmillan remarked that the gentle
man admitted that no rule had been
violated and the trouble was in the gen.
tleman's own mind and the foundation
of the trouble had not existed twenty
four hours.
Morrow replied vehemently that rep
resenting g constituency that was in
terested in this question, he had right
TO insist that bills which passed The
House should receive proper consider
alton end proceed in an orderly way.
Mcmillan suggested hat the gentle
man was exercising that right now in

COlOred Citizens.
ON THE RACE QUESTION.
Hon. Roger @. Mills In the Indiana
CampAign-He Talks of
Tariff.

COLUMBUS, o., September 20.-This
afternoon. Judge Thu rman received a
delegation of colored Democrats, who
through w. n. Furnish, OF Arkansas,
presented an address, expressing thanks
for favors from the Democratic party.
Judge Thurman spoke substantially
as follows:
Gentlemen-I am greatly obliged to
you for this call and for the kind and
just sentiments just read. I have been
described as an enemy of the coloTed
people. There never was anything
more unjust in the world. When my fam
lily came to this State, my grandfather
brought with him all his property,
which consisted chiefly of slaves, and
heset them all free.
We can, OF expec,justice in political
campaign and l have been denounced
as an enemy of the colored race. No
man can point to law which l had
anything to do with, or to decision OF
mine on the bench which was more I'M
just to colored than white people or I'M
just in any description. 1t is true that
In 1867, before the suffrage for your
people had been adopted, when the
question was in Ohio and Ohio alone,
whether the word white should be
struck from the Constitution, | to-
gether with large majority, voted
against striking it out. 1t was not right
for Ohio to take such action, when
nearly all the other States were OPP
posed to it. EFor that reaton urged
against such action, but from the mo-
Ia To ha ErAaral
Constitution was adopted which gave,
suffrage to the colored people, from the
moment they became citizens, no man
than as citizens. l stand, and Grover
Cleveland stands on the platform of
the Democratic party, which pro-
nounces for equal rights for all, without
regard to race or color. / am greatly
pleased that the colored vote is no
longer unit. 1 have said repeatedly
in public and private that since
suffrage was conferred on the
colored people Republican poll
.ticians seek to make political
bondsmen of the colored race The
way 10 acquire your rights and secure
the respect of all, is to cast your, eete
as the white men cast theirs, according
to the measure before YOU"
Continuing Judge Thurman said the
war was not for the abolition of 81
and it was said that If the Union eoui5
iJe preserved without freeing the slaves,
1t should have been preserved that way.
The speaker knew that Lincoln had
said 50, ard he also knew that in the
brain of the radical leaders it. was
thought by emancipatiHg the slave and
giving him suffrage, the south might be
made solid, radical south; in a word,
he said. party interests governed polit-
ical action.
