| WASHINGTON, May IS.-The scenes in the
house yesterday are apt to occur again at any
time. The Republicans are carrying things
with s very high hand, and the Democrats will
| not stand it.
Bynum' personal friends declare that the in
cidents of yesterday are but the stepping stone
| to his political fortunes. Many correspondents
here have mentioned MIN as an available candi-
| date for speaker. The fuss is not over yet. Mr..
| Wilson OF West Virginia will probably have his
| say. and the discussion may be revived.
! Mr.. Mills OF Texas, in the house yesterday,
! said that the house seemed to be determined TO
| supply with speed what it lacked in patience.
| deprive the majority of the pleasure of punish
| ing Mr.. Bynum for past offenses, when he had
| denounced the tyrannical and despotic orders Of
| the speaker, who had trampled all rules OF
! parliamentary law. The gentleman from Michi-
| gan, who was public prosecutor, and who
the right-bower of the gentleman from Pennsyl-
vania, had himself insulted two of the
best men in the house; he had said the other day
he would believe Campbell as quickly as he
would either one of those gentlemen. The gem
tleman from Pennsylvania had given the
first offense. Not only that, but for the
first time in the history of the country
land he hoped the LAST, a member of the
house of representatives had made himself We
hicle for bringing
scURRILoUs, INSULTING AND OFFENSIVE
letterinto the house and putting it upon the
record, and when he encountered the
manly and chiyalrOus defense of the
like baby. Democratic applausel.
He (Mr. Millsl had no hope on earth that the
majority would do anything except punish Mr..
Bynum, because that was the only way it could
pull its beaten man out Of the contest. Demo-
cratic applause. The majority had not forgot
ten that Mr.. Bynum had characterized the
action of the speaker, as it deserved to be char
acterized, and it was for that the gentleman
from Michigan was made the public prosecutor
in the name of the honor and dignity OF the
house. Democratic applause and Republican
Kisses.
After several other little speeches Mr. sprin-
ger demanded division on the resolution and
the first resolution declaring, that Mr.. Bynum
merited censure of the house, was adopted
ton, providing for the presence Of
Mr.. Bynum before the bar Of the house,
was also adopted-yeas, 126; nays, lob, Mr..
McKenna of California voting in the Negative.
Then Mr.. Bynum, leaning on the arm OF Mr.:
Holman of Indiana, appeared at the bar ac-'
companied by all of his Democratic associates
who could find room in the limited space and
who were
LOUD IN THEIR APPLAUSE.
The speaker obtained order and requested the
gentlemen to take their seats. Mr.. Springer.
acting as spokesman for his party, declined to
do so.
Sergeant at-Arms Holmes then said: ''Mr
Bynum, by resolution OF the house OF Tepresen-
tatives. you required to appear before the
bar of the house to receive the censure of that
body through its speaker
The speaker again requested the members to
take their seats, and the Democrats again re-
fused to comply. The speaker then said
ceives that it is impossible for the chair to
enforce order on account of the action of certain
members, The chair will therefore proceed to :
do its duty under the present condition of disor-
der. Mr.. William D. Bynum, you are ar
raigned at the bar for having transgressed
its rules by your remarks. For this
offense the house desires that you should be
censured at its bar and in the name of the house
OF representatives, therefore l pronounce upon
you its censure. The sergeant-at-arms will now
release you.''
Mr.. Bynum-Under such circumstances &C.
cept the censure of the house as decoration of
honor. Democratic applause.
There was some disposition manifested by the
Republicans to take umbrage at this remark, but
before it was understood perfectly the house at
10 30 adjourned. This ended one of the most ex-
citing incidents Of the session
THAT BAD BLOOD EXISTS
is sufficiently evident, and the present discus
sion on the tariff will not limit the autocratic
and outrageous conduct of the Republicans.
The Sunday Herald to-day has the following
editorial on the recent letter Of Mr.. Mills to the
Texas farmers: Hon. Roger Q. Mills has raised
himself in the estimation of every one who
admires courage and broad craftsmanship by
his reply to the letter Of the Texas farmers who
asked him to support the wild, semi-socialistic
scheme for establishing of government ware
houses for the storage OF farm products No
more fantastic and un- American proposition than
this was ever presented to congress. Mr..
Mills well says that if the government does
it would also be compelled to provide store
houses for and advance money on the products
of our manufactures, mines and lumber camps
E teP The farmers the a
truthfully reply to this, that through
the operations Of protective ,tarih, the govern
ufactures, but it is the dffty of statesmen and
patriots to strive to cure diseases Of the body
polite while they are local, and not aggravate
them until they become chronic and constitu-
tional. -
