Adjourned.
House of Representatives.
After the passage of number of bills
under the unanimous-consent rule, PTlncl-
pally relief and pension bills, the House
went into Committee of the Whole on the
Indian appropriation bill.
In general debate upon the bill the solu-
+ion of the Indian problem formed for the
time the subject Of discussion. Then MIR:
Pierce, Of Tennessee, started a political
debate by q brief speech in which he de-
nounced the action of the majority OF the
House during the present Congress. The
recent election had shown that the people
had not endorsed that action, which. had
broken down the usages and practice OF
the House, and which had increased the
burden of taxation. Touching upon, the
silver question, be said that the people, Oh
the country had an opinion upon that
subject which would not down even at
the dlctation of ex-President Grover
Cleveland.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DAREs NO AFfIRMA-
TIVE ACTION.
Mr.. Grosvenor, in reply to the gentle
man. said that the Democratic party had
never dared to take affirmative action.
Now there rolled across the pathway OF
that party a question upon which IT would
have 10 take affirmative action. Had the
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Plercel
forgotten that Democratic President had
denounced in unrelenting terms this
whole swindle Of unlimited silver coinageY
Had he forgotten that the greatest man IN
the Democratic party denounced the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver as fraud
and a swindle? The time had come when
every Democrat would DO what ne nag
done when Grover Cleveland sent IN bis
frst free trade message that startled the
country as the letter OF the DAY DeIore
Yesterday had startled 1.-THE would come
down on his knees and bow before the
Democratic party.
ANOTHER BREEZE.
General debate being completed the bill
was read by paragraphs for amendment;
Matters ran along very smoothly until
about a third of the measure had been dis
possd OF. Then Mr.. Fithian, OF Illinois,
raised a little breeze by making motion
10 strike out the last word Of paragraph
and sanding to the Clerks desk and asking
10 have read newspaper article antagonls-
tic to the shipping bill: Before one SEN
tence of the article had been READ Mr.
Peyne, OF New York, raised the point that
the gentleman was not addressing himself
TO the question before the committee. The
point Of order was sustained by the chair,
whereupon Mr.. Fithian took an appeal and
proceeding to road the same article was
AGAIN called to order. He again proceeded,
was again called to order. and the point OF
order was sustained. The decision was APP

House. Without disposipg OF the bill the
committee rose.
