Wednesday, January d. The attempt
to have "order reign in Warsaw" has not
been very successful in the House since
the late holidays, and Mr.. Blouut, Of
Georgia, commenting thereon, made the
following remarks;
Mr. Speaker, for the Hrst time during this
session Of Congress Wo have come back TO
the method OF doing away with the rules Of
this house and adopting special order for
considering measures. / had hoped that
had ended. BY reason of the lessons OF the
last campaign had hoped that II had ended
In the special orders, passed In a manner
contrary TO che rules on the tariff legislation,
the silver legislation and the election laws.
These we're passed over our protest, and we
we're met with the declaration from the
other side that "the country wanted busi-
ness and not talk, 90 which there came an
acclaim of vehement approval Cf the dis
tinQuiahed gentleman announced that aB
the maxim OF the other side OF the House
such as the most ambitious person could
have desired.
But, Mr.. Chairman, there came later on,
no the elections IN November, another voice
louder than the gentlOman's on the other
side of the hall, louder than was ever heard
on any issue In the country heretofore, on
all OF those questions, adverse TO the dia-
tribes we have listened TO heretofore from
our friends on the other side, and / had
hoped that there would be some recognition
OF the declaration nc the polls In matters OF
this sort.
We are told that notwithstanding this the
majority have still few days Of power, and
they are going TO continue In their course
for what little life they have left. And 80
we are here again with an order changing
the rules OF the House In reference 90 appro-
priation bills and the manner Of OOnsidera-
tiOn, q change as serious az any we have
made in the past.
Now, sir, you are proposing that The COM
mittee of the whole may consider the Dis
trict Of Columbia appropriation by para
graphs without reading th0m. Here is a
bill involving millions OF dollars, with leg
islatiOn in 10, and yet IL is proposed that at
a given time to-day this House shall soy 60
the committee Of the whole "Y0u have
trihed with this business long enough; Wo
mean 20 take IL up and consider 10, right or
