A LITTLE COMEDY IN THE HOUSE.
MD pr,xn sUBNIT THEIR

Mr.. HARTER AND Mr.. BLAND SUBMIT THEIR
WATCHES As LEGISLATIVE OBJECT LESSON.
Washington. Feb. 1s Cspeclal).-Why the House OF
Representatives should ever indulge III gehei" ut-
bate" appropriation bill Is mystery "'"o"
no observer of the proceedings Of Congress has ever
been able 10 unrave Sometimes. however such oe-
bates take an interesting turn, albeit entirely i'elsH
10 the subject which is supposed to DC Eh0er COLI
sderaton. That happened to-day when Il COMEDY
farce was plaved by Mr. Harter Of Ohio. and Mr..
Bland, of Missouri, before an appreciative ana de
lighted audience Free coinage was the theme anu
both tho star performers are Democrats MI haF'cr
is what Mr.. Bland and his followers dehomiha'e
gold-bug' Democrat and Nj. Bisld-Wei everyDody
knows what Bland is. He was agsneVed because
Harter had sent ont blank petitions tor signature
praying against the enactment OF law for tie CON
age OF a Recent dollar, in which pensioners might
he paid.
The fact that Iiarter had done this at his own eX-
pense did not mollfy Bland I'm the least lie was 50
indignant that he insisted upon placing HarterS auto
biography in the Directory-an autobiography WHICH,
to be sure, sets forth TINT HarteT who IS nearly
forty six years old, has spent his business HE
as a manufacturer and banker. and IS pIcsi-
dent of the Aultman & Taylor Company but i also
tempered BY the information that he Is "a member
OF the Golden Club, London, OF The REFORM 'hlD
New York. Of the Democratic Club OF the City OF New
Yorh, of the Young Mems Democratic club OF Cihcu
na and has used his voice and pen in the interest O
tann reform for many years" Now Bland does rot
belong 10 single club, far rs his autobiography
shows and although he has been for hearty twenty
gears a member OF Congress, he may perhaps eN
perience feeling Of natural Jealousy when he finds
that Nenderfoot' like lIartcr has not only exported
himself In the Directory but has actually had The
impudence to attempt to spur American citizens to
exercise the right OF petition.
Nobody will be surprised. therefore, {" hear thht
Bland, the Missouri Democrat denounced Harter the
Ohio Democrat, as millionaire gold bug ct ceicra
and 1t is wonder that lIarter, being essentially ~
big a demagome Bland, drew his watch from his
pocket and displaying 1t, together with ring declared
that It represented all the gold which he owned Does
anybody suppose that this exhibition disturbed Bland
lie drew from his pocket silver watch with battered
cnse, which rs exhibited. Now, why Watches,
whether silver gold, ul very well III Their way,
but why a veteran statesman like Bland or ncophyl'
like Harier should fancy himself to be the ;cacner
in legislative kindergarten is difficult 10 comprehend
and what bearing the discussion or the exhibition mao
on the bill making appropriations for the current ana
contn gent OF tho Indian service Tor the year
ending June 80, 1893 IS a stll decpcr mystery
