side rose, but the Speaker entirely
i ,nUred it, and did not count those
rising. He stated, however, that II
there was no objection the yeas and
nays might be ordered.

Mckinley said that no honest man
could object TO the hill. Ii was said
that the bill would lie expensive

that the $50 districts OF the country
would invoke the operation Of the
law, and there was not a man who
did not know that not a hundred
districts would iuvukv its operation.

Republican applause
Mcmillan Tenn. said the repub-
licans might,
LIKE A MAD MAN,
grasp the pillars Of the Constitution
and pull down the edifice, but, like
Samson, they would perish in the
wreck. If he could register a wish
in heaven, he would ask, not for an
extension of boundaries or n multi
plicatinn of territory, not for flowing
rivers and fertile lands, but that the
man who laid violent hands upon
the Constitution might drop dead,
as did the sacrilegiOus Jew who
laid impious hands upon the ark Of
the covenant. Democratic APP
