tam for Aganiitont nnisnl-A sharp
Debate.
WAsHrsaToN, Feb. 1A.-Not more than
tive dozen members wore frssent when
the House met at IL O'Clock III continue
ton of yesterdays session.
hr, Stewart Goa aud Mr.. Reilly (ps.)
entered emphatic protests against the
adoption of the proposed code; and the
action of Speaker Reed was defended and
upheld by MIR. Raines IN. W
Mr.. Barnes ga said that the D3mo-
Gratis had been told that the Jeffersonisn
System OF government was to be over
thrown and the Hsmiltonisn system in
sugurased. No ons could go flu ther than
he in admiration Of Hamiltouian system,
hut he could not forget that the latter
had been unquslihsdly rejeoted by the
fathers Of the Republic. He (Bsrnes)
objected to the removal of the obs rue.
tions which had for 100 years stood as q
bir against the public treasury, against
the advocates OF subsidies, against those
men who would build up the money
power. Nov tho school of Jefferson was
to be rslageted to the rear and the nav
school Of policy was to be ushered into
existence.
MIR. Kelly (Kau.) defended the Speakers
course and alluded to tho Speakers ref
ersnoe to the ruling of Governor Hill
when presiding over the New York Sen
ate. The Speaker was modest man;
but IL in the course of human events it
came to be that the Republican party put
the name OF Thomas B. Reed at the head
of its Presidential ticket in 1892 and the
| Democratic party in its wisdom put at
the head OF lis ticket the name of David
B. Hill, the Democrats would go before
the country and claim for David B. ELL
tho credit for the advance which had
done so much good for liberty.
MIR. Pendleton (W. Va.) said that
while no had strongly dissented from the
rulings of the Speaker he had always
done so in Gentlemanly manner. Zap
plsuse. Therefore. he was surprised to
see in western paper which is circulated
largely in his district (where be has 800
or 400 warm Republican iriends) a state
\ ment that when he was unseated the
Democrats would loss a valuable man, as
| he had been foremost in hurling violent
| epithets at the Speaker. This sLatemen,
he denied. He was unaware of having
spoken disoourteously OF the gentleman
wao occupied the ohair, though he did
most radically disagree with the Speakers
construction of parliamentary law.
Mr.. Kelly (Kan.) suggested that this
was proper time to apologize.
MIR. Pendleton responded that he wal
not apologizing as he had nothing tc
apologize foi. He was merely denounc
ing false statement. He wished hi
Republican friends (who had voted fol
him at the last election and who would
vote for him at the next If he were I'M
seated now to know that when they voted
for him that they did not vote for an,
person who was not gentleman. Zap
