sary enforcement OF the health laws of such

creased nor diminished. Then came a change
of votes. Fully two dozen changes were made
and in the alterations the affirmative came out
triumphant, the vote being announced as ayes
109, noes "a.
Then Grosvenor of Ohio, who had changed
bis vote for the purpose, moved e reconsidera-
tion.
Frank of Missouri moved to table that mo-
ton.
The motion to table was agreed to-ayes ll3,
noes 25.
The vote then REQUIRED on the passage of the
noes IS.
A conference with the Senate was asked, and
the House proceeded to the consideration of the
/ bankruptcy bill.
E. B. Taylor of Ohio, Chairman of the Judici-
ary Committee, opened the debate with speech
in favor of the bill as one in whose preparation
| no pains has been spared to make it Just. He
| opposed the voluntary bankruptcy bill framed
f, by the majority, as favorable to creditor only.
! Culbertson of Texas opposed the bill In its
general features and scope the bill is not mate
rally different from the Lowell bill of the for
| mer Congress, and from the Act of 1867, against
4 the latter of which public sentiment became
strong. The Senate in ISIS, finally aeceded TO
/ the third request of the House that it be re-
/ pealed.
| Culbertson said he could not understand why
/ there should be such anxiety on the part of the
money and manufacturing interests for the pas
! sage of this measure, unless 1t was that the
| shadow OF legislation of this Congress had been
! cast over them with the mckinley bill, absorb
| ing the earnings of the people IN order to en-
| rich the manufacturers; with the silver bill,
| which lodged in the Secretary of the Treasury
I always dominated by Wall street, power to de-
! monetize silver after one year; with the cleo
! ton bill, which struck down at one fell blow
! the unsurpassed prosperity of the South which
| had arisen from the ashes of the great war. 1t
might be that the Convention conceived it nee
essary to provide a wrecking train to pick up
! the debris of the fortunes which would be scat
| tered all over the country when these laws
| were enforced. Applause on the Democratic
! side,
Wheeler (Alabama) said the Speaker had or
| dered the bill passed. Laughter He had or
! dered the election bill passed, and 1t had been
passed, and he presumed that this bill also
would
Buchanan New Jersey member of the Ju-
| dietary Committee, said he did not know
! whether the Speaker was in favor of the bill OF
/ opposed to it. They had never passed word
! on the subject. He buchanan was getting
| tired OF insinuations of this kind. Continuing,
| Buchanan supported the measure, contending
| that it was demanded by the people. There
/ was nothing political or sectional in it. Those
members OF the Judiciary Committee who made
careful study of the bill were satisfied that it
contained all the safeguards which it was posi-
| bic to surround a bill of this character.
| Kelley (Kansas) inquired whether, under the
provisions of the bill, lawyers only could be ap-
! pointed referees.
Buchanan made an affirmative answer.
Kelly suggested that it was not right to dis
eriminate against the farmers and business men
who were not members of the bar.
Buchanna said that from personal experience
his opinion was that the worst thing that could
befall the farmer was to quit farming and prac
tice law.
Oates of Alabama opposed the bill and at the
same time frankly admitted that it was one of
the best and most carefully considered bank
rupt measures ever brought up in Congress, but
the act of 1867 had been SO completely de-
bauched and malsdjusted in the South that the
very word bankruptcy had become offensive in
the nostrils of honest men of that section.
Boatner of Louisiana and Hayes of Iowa gave
modified support to the bill and suggested GER
tain changes
