1t was referred to The committee on foreign
affairs.
DISCUSSION OF THE RULES.
Discussion Of the proposed code Of rules
was then resumed. Mr.. Hooker of Missis-
sippi. though in general advocacy Of the
proposed code, expressed himself as in favor
of the appointment of steering commit
tee of fifteen members who should decide
what measures should be brought to the
attention Of the House. This was too large
a power to vest in the committee on rules
MIR. Otis OF sKansas congratulated the
country that for the first time representa-
tive of the third party was permitted to
occupy the floor Of the House Of Representa-
tives. That third party claimed to be
founded on equal rights, Jeffersonian doc
trine on the policy of " Washington and upon
the Abraham Lincoln idea Of the superiority
of labor over capital he proceeded to
criticize the rules as comforting dangerous
power upon the speaker and upon the COM
mittee on rules.
WATSON GETS THE FLOOR.
Mr.. Watson of Georgia then took the
floor and laid down the principles of the
farmers alliance party. 1t demanded, he
said, that national banks should be estab-
hshed as banks Of issue; that coinage OF
silver should be made free and unlimited:
that allen ownership of our lands should
cease; that senator's should be elected by
direct vote OF the people; that the govern
ment should issue money to
people who needed it to per-
feet their exchanges practically free Of cost,
and that, through the sub-treasury plan or
something better, the people should have
the privilege OF the use of that money by
giving such security as was in the CONNER
cial world considered good. The Peoples
party demanded a graduated income tax,
and that no mans business should be built
up at the expense of another man. These
we're its principles. and the toiling millions
OF the land were looking TO those principles
as their only means of relief.
THE CzARIsM OF Mr.. REED.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Watson
referred to the "czarism of MIR. Reed in the
last congress-" This alluson gave rise to
much merriment, growing principally from
the fact that Mr.. Watson was standing In
the aisle directly in front Of the ex-speaker.
The latter looked up with benevolent
demonstrated with the speaker for the ex-
preston. Mr.. Watson, continuing, criticized
the rules for comforting too much power
upon the speaker. No such power should
be conferred upon any speaker, whether
his name began with &C" and he came
from Georgia or began with an "R" and he
came from Maine. [ApplRuse.1
The debate upon the rules was continued
by Messrs. Dingley OF Maine McCreary of
Kentucky, Funston Of Kansas Davis of
Kentu cky, Bynum Of Indiana, Lodge of
Massachusetts and Simpson OF Kansas
The latter gentleman had
very brief space of time al
lotted to him, but during that short in
terval he greatly entertained the members
of the House by his reference to remark
previously made by Mr.. Funston Of Kansas,
relative to the price Of corn in Kansas.
The House then adjourned.
