m12QC 1uSG aS we'll BuSpoA0 DucAhOSS uASAA all the committees had reported. He was tired of waiting around and being button ho1ed by the lobby, and the doctors would be kept at Hartford go long all their patients would get well and their occupation would be gone. He was ready to act now.
 On the vote the vote to reconsider was carried, 99 to 96.
 Speaker Perry gave the Housatonlc cham. pions another chance by the following ruling, which has been subjected to considerable comment:
 The vote to reconsider the motion to table having been carried, he ruled that a vote should then be taken as to whether the Quess tion should be taken from the table or not.
 The Housatonie men were again beaten and it was voted to make the railroad reports the special order of the day for Wednesday, May 15.
 Taking into consideration the fact that men not Housatonically inclined voted with the minority on account of desire to settle the grade crossing matters flst, it appears that the claim of the Housatonic lobby that the house will pass any bill it dictates is at least subject to modification.
 Mr. Glover offered resolution instruoting the railroad committee to report a grade crossing bill on or before April 26, but Chair man Brown promised report this week.
 The peddler bill was beaten by Bob Me- Orone, who, when it was moved to exempt Holsters from its provisions, amended by add ing ''and ell other products of American labor" The house caught his spirit and in- definitely postponed the whole bill.
 The House passed the Bright" resolution to-day. Representative Hill of Stamford, the orator of the House, who has come to be beloved by all his associates made the fol- lowing speech which was greeted with great applause:
 "Mr. Speaker.-I shall not trespass upon the time and patience of that House by at arvkh trrp ytyA eulogy upon the great man whose death has given occasion for the resolutions which are before us. Such task as that would demand the exercise of powers far transcendinR mine and far exceed the narrow limit of time allotted. I indulge the hope that this gen. era. assembly may honor itself aEd the com monwealth by placing on it's records this simple recognition of the illustrious English man to whom we owe go much. A lifetime spent in sincere effort to lift men up to higher levels of truth and duty to bring mankind nearer to the parctiee of the right eousness which doth exalt nation whether 1t be spent upon the soil of one country or another is a common blessing to all and should be commemorated by all.
 If were called upon to express in single sentence the estimate which the world places to say upon the character of John Bright l should best preform the task by borrowing the language of a distinguished Irishman
 
 great America whose centennial we are about to celebrate 'It matters little" said the or- ator, "what immediate stop may have been the birth place of such man az Washing ton, no people can claim him, no country can appropriate him. The boon of providence to the human race, his fame is eternity and his residence is creation"
 But so to us who are Americans Bright was something more than far-seeing and statesman; something more than great hearted philsnthropist and matchless orator; he was our sincere and matchless friend.
 For us in our direst hour of need he barred his noble breast to the fiery darts of our foes on both sides of the ocean; for us he dared to proclaim the truth unto unwilling ears, bore the sneers of political associates and the obloquy of the more influential of his own countrymen; for us he spurned the magni6 cent bribe offered him by our enemies, and he taught the suffering middle and working classes of England that our cause was their cause, our victories their victories, and our defeat would be their defeat.
 When the verdict of all ohristendom, which classes ingratitude among the basest of the human passions, shall have been reversed and the obligations of friendship cease to be sa- cred and generosity shall no longer be count ed a virtue and courage be deemed worthy of honor, when inordinate selfshness shall have supplanted all sense of duty and the brother hood of man been annihilated, when patriot ism shall have perished and the glory of this republic shall have been turned to shame then, but not until that distant day, can the American people afford to forget the name of John Bright. We may well repeat the invo- cation of Archdeacon Farrar in Westminster Abbey and pray that a kind providence may give both to us and the mother country more men like him whom we have lost,
 "Men whom the lust for office does not kill,
 Men whom the spells of ofnce cannot buy
 Men who possess opinions and a will,
 Men who have honor, men who will not lie."
