IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. Mr..
Dlckerson, Of Kentu ky, reported
resolution providing for the appoint
ment OF Walter F. Ha|lock, an ex-
soldier, as an assistant messenger.
which gave rise 20 debate. Mr..
Meredith, of Virginia, paid a high
tribute to Mr.. Rallock's s bravery as
an officer. Mr.. Raines, of New
ork, referred to the appointment
OF messenger by the Democrats
who was recommended by man
named Edwards who went over to
the Dem ocrats in the New
York State Senate. There
was no necessity for any
extra me- essengers as the House was
too well guarded now with two or
more messengers at each door. Mr..
Fithian, of Illinois, thought it time
the Democratic party was coming
to its senses. There was no need
for any more messengers. Mr..
Blount, of Georgia, referred to the
door-keeper scandal in the 45th
Congress, when men were put on
the roll without the authority of
the House when the door-keeper and
several assistant door-deepers were
discharged. Public opinion COM
PEELED this. The matter was
then placed under the charge
of the committee on accounts
who were supposed to investigate it
thoroughly, but they had not done
so, and he was utterly opposed to
any further employment of useless
messengers. Mr.. Simpson, (Alli-
ance) of Kansas, believed in reci-
procity, and said he was glad to see
the Republicans were receiving
some patronage from the Democrats.
He belonged to neither party and
was therefore ''not in it," He was
outside the ranks. The resolution
was lost. The House then re-
sumed consideration of the military
academy appropriation bill. Mr..
Livingston, (Alliance) of Georgia,
inveighed against the purchase of
one hundred saddle cloths at Sc
each. Mr.. Otis (Alliance), of Kan
sas, moved to amend this paragraph
by having the carpet on the House
floor cut up at the close of every
session and sent to the academy.
Laughter.) The amendment was
ruled out as being new legislation.
After further discussion the commit
tee rose and Mr.. Outhwaite, of
Ohio, moved that debate in the last
paragraph of the bill appropriating
$3.50 for improving surface drain
age be limited to one minute. A
vote being taken on the motion, no
quorum was developed and at 5:l5
the House adjourned until to-mor-
row.
