In the House of Representatives yes
terday, vote was had on the following
resolution, which was adopted by q vote
Of yeas, 22S; nays, 40; not voting, GA:
Resolved, That in the judgment Of this
House the granting of subsidies or bOuntieS
by Congress in money, public lands or By
Endorsement, or by pledge Of the public
credit, to promote special private industries
or enterprises Of corporations independent
Of the constitutional power Of Congress 10
make such grants, is unjust and impOlitiC
and in manifest conflict with the spirit Of
our republican institutions, as it directly
tends to create and foster the wealth Of
favored classes at the expense of the whole
people who bear the burdens Of govern
ment, and manifestly furnishes undue facili-
ties for the enlargement of great private
estates-a policy which a government Of
the people cannot justly or safely encourage
by any form of favoritism in legislation.
There were two Democrats In the mega
tive vote, to wit, Mr.. William j. Stone,
of Kentucky, and John De Witt Warner,
Of New York. The thirty eight Republi-
cans came from IA states, all that the Re-
publlcans have from the seven states Of
Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michi
gan, Nevada, North Carolina and Wiscon-
sln--only the small number Of seven
teen-and one each from Illinois, Ten
nessee and Vermont, two each from
California and New York, four from
Ohio and ten from Pennsylvania. The
Republicans are on the record on this
resolution as follows: Yeas, 80; nays 3S;
absent or not voting, 18. Representative
men In the party mostly voted against
the foregoing resolution or were absent.
One Of the most prominent Republicans
voting for 1t was Hon. David B. Hender-
son, of Dubuque, Iowa; who the day be-
fore was furiously In opposition to 1t in 3
coarse stump speech that better befitted
a ward meeting than the halls of Con-
gress.
In 1883 Representative Henderson car
rled his district by q majority Of 1859; In
1890, "he was saved as by fire." having
had majority Of 1870; making q loss in
two years of about 4,4OO votes. Possibly
second sober thought as to his standing
at home caused him TO vote contrary to
his speech of the previous day.
SOME SALIENT POINTS IN THE SPEECH
on THIS IOWA STATESMAN.
Here are some nice chunks Of matter
from this Hawkeye patriot:
An effort is being studiously made to i'm
press the country with the idea chat the
government is in an embarrassed condition
and outside Of this chamber the ghouls and
and scavengers of the impending pOlitica
presidential campaign are taking up an
nouncements made on the floor Of thil
House, enlarging them and retailing then
among the people. The effort made x
show that there is deficit and that th'
credit Of the country is in peril, coming ~
10 does from the gentleman from Missouri
member of the committee on appropria
tions (Hon. Alfred NJ. DOCkery) and en-
phasized in the resolution by the chairman
of that committee demands attention. i
true, it should be known; il false and uset
for campaign purposes, it should meet th'
condemnation Of all honest men.
