fiecting upon the character and integrity of the

PROTEST FROM GEORGIA.
Mr.. Blount (Ga.) protested against the reso-
luton, contendIng that it was parody on de-
Liberation. 1t would have been better to have
provided for no debate for this course would,
at least, have had the semblance OF directness.
enamsn Ihe right TO vote eriaa on any separate
member by this order. The
House should reject this order 1t was an un-
fortunate spectacle. An order was to be made
with view of preventing the testing of the
sentiment OF the House on any special propo.
sitiOn. The purpose Of the order was to take
the whole subject OF taxation from the House.
The resolution stripped the rules of
the last piece of conservatism which
they contained. Under the pretense of doing
business the majority had broken down the
rules; it had abrogated the power of the House
to consider the subject of taxation. and had
relegated that subject to a small number of
conferses. And (sarcastically) this was bust
moss.
Mr.. McMillin Glenn. also opposed the reso-
luton anu cfitcised the committee on rules for
reporting it. The majority in caucus had de-
termined not only that the minority should be
throt,led bnt that the Plumed knight should
be throttled.
THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
The resolution was then adopted. Yeas, ia:

Mr.. Mckinley (Ohio) gave brief statemen
Of the Senate amendments, but entered into no
argument as to their propriety or impropriety.

Congress had appropriated s461 ,OO0, 600. What

and would demoralize it still further. The true
business of this Congress was to economize-to
cheese-pare, if necessary-to cut down
the expenditures Of the government; that they
should equal the revenues and no more. That
was duty, and that was business.
Mr.. McRae ARK opposed the bill both In its
original form and as amended, on the general
ground that it Disseminated against the farm

Mr.. Farquhar of New York, in behalf of the
