Wednesday when Crisp assumed the
speskership he promised the Democratic
caucus that he would bring in no eioture
rule except in majority petition. He now
expects 70 violate that promise, not in the
letter. perhaps, but IN the spirit. by bringing

CATITAL AND LABOR.
Senator Palmer's speech on the relations of
capital and labor has. as predicted, created
decided sensation. The radical nature OF his
utterances fairly took the breath away from
some of tho old-time conservative members
of the Senate and for a time they were too
bewildered % express any opinion. They
don't express any now for quotation for fear
OF laying themselves open u the charge OF
discOurtesy. bat among themselves they re-
fei % the illinois war horse as labor aglta-
tor q Communist and Socialist and 90 50 far

But the veteran doesn't mind IL at all. He
has nothing % recant. He believes that the
world Is advancing, that new conditions OBJ

are or not, Que thing Is certain-th they have
given 90 the grave and reverend seigneurs OF
the Senate something new TO think about

the pending resolutions TO investigate the
Homestead riots. the Senate almost immedi-
ately on its assembling resumed consideration
of the Sundry Civil bill
An attempt was made 70 defeat PROPOSE
tiOn inserted by the Senate Committee TO give
10 the widows Of the late Chief Justice Waite
and Associate Justices Miller aud Bradley, of
the Supreme Court of the Jnited States. one
year salary Of their late husbands.
The motion 10 strike out these items. which
was made by Dir. Berry (Ark), was lost by
vote of 10 a.
When the Columbian Worlds Fair amend
nent at the close of the bill was reached Mr.
Quay Rep Pa moved TO insert prOvisO
requiring provision 10 be madefOr the closing
of the Exposition on the sabbath day. lie
said he would send 20 the clerks desk and
ask TO have read the reasons why be offered
this amendment
The BIBLE APPEARS.
Mr.. Quay handed page Bible open at
tie Ten Commandments and the new reading
clerk of the Senate read. Honor thy father
aud mother that thy days may be long IN the
land which the Lord thy God giveth thee"
After the general laughter OF the Senate had
made apparent the mistake the clerk turned
back and read Remember the sabbath
day 20 keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor
and do all thy work. but the seventh day u
the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; on 1t thou
shalt not do any work thou nor thy on nor

seventh day. wherefore the Lord blessed tho
Sabbath day and ha!lowed It.

At the close Of the reading Mr.. Brice

Mr.. Palmer Glls.) made an inquiry about
the legal tender character OF the souvenir
which was satisfactorily answered by Dir. AL

MIR. sherman (OhiD) said he objected to the
scheme embodied in the souvenir amendment

success.
Mr.. Allison said these coins were TO have
The same quality as other half dollars. The
managers of the Exposition would carry these
coins 70 the b-Treasury ia sums OF twenty
dollars and get greenbacks or silver Tor them.
POINT OF ORDKR.
ATr QUAY raised the point of order that the
pending question was his Sabbath closing
amendment aud that the present discussion
Was not pertinent thereto.
Mr. Allison Ia warmly defended the SOU
veuir dollar plan as the best that could be de
ysed under the circumstance stating that
Us authors were among the most successful
business men in Chicago.
Sir. sanders Rep Mont.) asked II there
was any exgency OF parliamentary law or IN
the wishes Of the Senate why tie question or
sabbath rest should not be disposed OF before
me Senate passed 10 the gewgaw side OF the
question.
Mr. Morgan Dem. Ala sarcastically re-
marked that the hign source from which the
sabbath amendment came would silence him.
because he knew the Senator from Pennsyl-
FaniA, Dlr Quay. was the highest possible
authority upon questions Of this kind II he
Mr.. Morgan did not follow Pennsylvania Oh
TINS question IL would be because he was not
convinced that the state OF Illinois was not
prepared 10 take care OF the Sabbath
