can people. But he did not share in the
view of the Senator from New Hamp-
shire, as taken from one of the leading
newspapers of the country, that there
had been any unnecessary delay in the
discussion of the bill, or that the Senate
was recreant to its duty because it did
not proceed more rapidly. He had
learned that hasty legislation was
bad legislation; and he had learned
that any bill which deserved to
become a law would stand
the test of discussion and ex-
animation. The impatience, the inn
'petuosity with which the Senate was
asked to hold off the bill and pass it was,
to him somewhat disgusting. He was
in full sympathy with he.purpose of the
bill, which he understood te be to raise
duties whenever they were found to be
too low, aud to lower them wherever
they were found to be too high. He
was prepared to resist vigorously, and as
efficiently as he could, any change of the
rates for the purpose of fastening the
passage Of the tariff bill as any other
bill.
Several Democratic Senators observed
"that is right"
After Mr.. Blair had read the editorial
article, motion to adjourn by Mr..
Plumb was voted down, 19 to 30.
Various motions to reduce the rates
on different kinds of window glass were
made by Mr.. Plumb and were rejected,
although in the last of them four repub-
licans-Ingalls, Manderson, Paddock
and Plumb voted with the Democrats.
Finally on motion of Mr.. Aldrich the
rates were reduced to II, Il, 24 and 2as
cents per round, according to sizes, and
the Senate, having disposed of between
18 and 10 pages of the bill, adjourned
at 6 p. m. till 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug, An the
House to-day Mr.. Morgan, of Mississippi,
rising to question of privilege, sent to
the clerks desk and had read an article
in Southern newspaper to the effect
that in order to curry favor with the
Farmers Alliance, he had had his license
as lawyer annulled. He denounced
the statement as falsehood and cam
paign lie.
The House then went into committee
of the whole, Mr.. Payson, Of Illinois, in
the chair, on the general deficiency appro-
priation bill.
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, explained
that the bill carried an appropriation Of
$5, 14O, 900.
Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas, promised
his remarks by an expression of graft
tude that the presence of Mr.. Payson in
the chair was guarantee that he would
not be taken off the floor. On two oc-
casions the Speaker had taken him of
the floor. The Speaker had conceived
and taken it into his brain, for it had
come out of his mouth, Though il
seemed to him that it was more gal
than brain) that he had right to take q
member off the floor.
Mr.. Kerr, of Iowa, thought it wal
about time that members addressing tht
House should cease to insult the pre-.
siding officer.
Mr.. Rogers continuing, denounced
what he termed the tyranny of tht
Speaker and the majority of the commit
tee on rules. The House, he said, hai
degenerated into state of anarchy an(
chaos. 1t was suspected that the Speaker
turned his back on full, fair, frank dis
cussion, on opportunity for amendments
ON parliamentary decorum, on oficia
urbanity, on historic and patriotic mem
cries, in order that he might unlawful,
perpetuate his party in power and drat
to his support for the presidency the IN
scrupulous mass of ignorant and vulga
partisans, who practiced the infamou
and corrupt maxim that the end JUST
fies the means. He had degraded th
! majority with the full assurance on th
part of Republican members, tha

fathers who could say, "this is o,

IL "No," he concluded, ''may I tell 20
le Mr.. Speaker, that they curse you al
Q: despise you and hate you, and when u
"a are assailed in private and in publ
g they are silent"
le Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, replied
70 certain criticisms made by Mr. Roge
upon the work of the session. T
10 House had done good work. Much me
rt good would have been done if the n
1e jority had had the patriotic co-operati
e. of the minority. If the Democra
1e members, regarding their oaths as Ia
's, makers, had made an earnest effort
TX secure legislation, the House wonld hs
done much more than it had done.
ne When the gentleman intimated tha
CT; was necessary, for some member on
III! Republican side to check the allee
II tyranny of the Speaker, and that Rep
,id licaDs we're dumb in the presence of

nd Speaker was only part of q solid I
VS. jority bent on so amending the ru
en- that the business of the country could
tie executed in this chamber.
bo Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
lat ferred to his criticism of the pres
he code of rules at the time it was up
est consideration. He had predicted tina

II Speaker and the members. He had
