GETTING STALE.
The Discussion On The New kuIes
Kept Up.

WASHINGTON, Feb. I2.-Mc.
Creary Of Kentucky took the fIoor
In opposition 10 the new rules,
Suteheon Of Michigan supported
the proposed rules, declaring that
they would facilitate business, in
stead OF obstructing it. Kerr Of
Iowa presented an argument in sup
port OF the proposed code. Caruth
OF Kentucky said that he and his
democratic colleagues had discov-
cred general parliamentary law was
an autocrat, was tyrant, was a god. .
The Speaker was omnipotent, vet
lacking in one Of the attributes Of
omnipotence-he was not the same
yesterday, today and forever. He
had thought there must be some de-
feet IN the Speakers vision, which
enabled him 10 see a democrat when
he sat in a chair, but which would
not permit him to see a democrat
when he was standing at full height
claiming recognition. He had
come to the conclusion that the
Speaker should be dosed with
Colonel Mulberry Sellers eye
water, Externally, internally and
eternally.'
Henderson of Iowa said for the
last few weeks the country had wit
messed scenes unequaled in the his
tory Of the government. The
Speaker of the House, backed by
the republican members, had been
making stand for the rights and
liberties Of the people. That battle
had brought on scenes exceeding in
their mOnstrous proportions, except
Ing only the Brooks brutality, any
that had ever in the NATIONAL
capital. Epithets had been hurled
broadcast from the other side Of the
chamber at the presiding officer.
Language which should have ex-
PEELED its users had been uttered and
flashed over the wires.
"TYRANT," "UsURPER," "c0RRUP-
TIoNIsT,"
"backed by a mob" were speeches
TO which the country had been
treated. After one Of the stormy
scenes he (Hendersonl had heard
one gentleman on the democratic
side say to another: "Did you
hear the rebel yell?" Let
gentlemen understand, here and
now, that the northern dough-
face was an animal Of the past. Let
them understand that the country
had passed through fiery furnace,
which had eliminated the northern
dough-face. The gentleman on the
other side undertook to control his
country, whether by majority or 4
minority. lie could not do il. The
republicans meant business, and il
was to do business calmly, earnest
ly, bravely and patrio.ically, that
they We're here. Assault after assault
from great and small had been
hurled at the Speaker. The gentle
men had been very chary Of making
such assaults when the Speaker was
on the floor instead Of being tied up
as the presiding officer. Referring
10 the election cas,s, he said that if
there was n member on the floor
entitled 10 his seat the republicans
would sand up aud defend his
r, h :, but If thtrs was on the floor
a man vino held his seat 10y black
hearted fraud or red-handed murder
they would unssat him il they mad
the power.
Buchanan and NNallsor followed
In defense of the Speakers course,
and then the House took recess till
evening.
Nearly 1890 persons were in the
galleries this evening 10 bear the
upon the proposed code
of rules.
Mansur, Dane, Rogers, Springer,
Shipley and Pierce denounced the
rulings OF the Speaker, while they
were defended 10y Moore, Donnell,
Houck and J. d. Taylor, Of Ohio.
Adjourned.
