Predicting Terrible Things.
Turner Of Georgia said in reply TO McKin-
ley that II the wild view presented here was
once grated on the practice of the house
Il would inaugurate reign of anarchy and
prohigacy unprecedented in the annals of the
country. We accused the Republicans of hav-
ing changed their views ON this question to
suit a present emergency. Reed, in his speech
at Woodstock, had said that filibustering was
dishonest, unpatriotic practice. He denied
the right Of the speaker to note him as pres
,nt and not voting, thus holding him up to
the country as dishonest and unpatriotic
The speaker had no more control over the
minutes than he had He had no doubt of
the decision of the people when this question
shouln go To the country, but as an Amer
can citizen, anxious To maintain the free
condition of the fathers, he asked members
to put behind them this temptation.
Butterworth supports Reed.
Butterworth said this decision was a de-
parture from the practice which had been
tolerated in the house half century, and
which was sanctifiej by antiquity, IL an
tiquity could sanctify that which was in itself
wrong This question involved the power of
the majority to rule in this country, and
members should determine to-day whether
the constitution contained in itself the ele-
ment of suicide. Butterworth dissented
from the proposition advanced by some of
the minority members that member must
answer to himself and his constituents alone
whether he would vote and discharge his
duty here or not. That doctrine would have
passed when IL was held that members were
ambassadors from the states; but it would
not do in January, 1890. A member was
here to legislate, not imply for himself and
for his constituents, but for the whole coun-
try. and the country had a right to exact of

The Union Pacific in with all the other roads
