WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The scenes in the
house yesterday are apt to occur again at any
time. The Republicans are carrying things
with : 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 aVallaole camel
date for speaker. The fuss is not over vet. 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 10
supply with speed what it lacked IN patience:
He could not say anything which would

denounced the tyrannical and despot1c orders OF
the speaker, who had trampied on all rules OF
parliamentary law. The gentleman from Mlchl-
gan, who was public prosecutor, and who was
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 IS quickly as he

record, and when he encountered the

he Mr. MilIs) 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
After several other little speeches Mr.. Sprin-

Then Mr.. Bynum, leaning on the arm of Mr..

who could find room in the limited space and

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.
Bynum, by resolution of the house OF represen-
tatives. you are required to appear before the
bar of the house to receive the censure of that

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-

There was some disposition manifested by the
Republicans to talis umbrage at this remark, but

THAT BAD BLOOD EXISTS

sion on the tariff viii not limit the autocrseie
land outrageous conduct OF the Republicans.
The Sunday Herald to-day has the following
editorial the recent letter of Mr.. Mills to the
Texas farmers: Hon. Roger Q. Mills has raised
himselE: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, sem-socialistic
scheme for establishing OF government ware
houses for the storage Of farm products. No
more fantastic and I'M American proposition than
this presented to congress. Mr..
Mills well says that il the government does
what the farmers ask, to be fair and impartial
it would also be compelled to provide store
houses for and advance money on the products
of our manufactures, mines and lumber camps
when depression came to the lat
ter industries. The farmers can
truthfuIly reply to this that through
the operations Of protective tariff the govern
ment has already in effect done this for the man
ufactures, but il is the duty of statesmen ard
patriots to strive to cure diseases of the body
polite while they are local, and not aggravate
them until they become chronic and constisu-
tional."
CLEVELAND THE COMING MAN.
Whatever other states may think abouta Dem
ocratic candidate for 1892, it is evident thai
Texas believes Cleveland to be the coming man.
The following distinguished Texans arrived here
this morning: Governor Ross. Mr.. Connor,
mayor of Dallas, and Colonel ,Belo. They are
en- route to New York to invite MIR. and
MIS-. Cleveland to attend the Dallas
snext October. 1t is not improb-
;tsae~ that they will be successful in
their mission Mr.. Cleveland has many firm
friends in Texas and while president he ex-
pressed great desire to see the state. His pub
lie duties, however, prevented him doing so. !
AS 3 private citizen his welcome could
be not less sincere nor the ovation rendered
him less imposing. He has not lost prestige.
His presence would be great thing for Dallas
as well as for the state. Mr.. Belo expressed the
belief that Mr.. Cleveland will accept the invita-
ton. The distinguished committee viii leave
here for New York tomorrow.
