the stenographer as to where the interrup.
tions of the gentleman from Massachusetts
came in, with additional remarks by me i'll
cident thereto. ! also con ferred with him
as to where the applause came in that oc-
Cured on this side during the delivery of
| my speech, which, of course, was not in my
manuscript and, as the gentleman says, was
afterward written in with lead pencil. 1
don't deny having avafled myself of the
privileges allowed every member of this
House from time immemorial to revise my
speech and make some slight unimportant
additions thereto. [Derisive laughter on
the Democratic side.
A Big Man in Newspaper.
''Why, Mr.. Speaker, if you could believe
the accounts which are furnished the Bos-
ton Globe of my colleagues exploits here you
would suppose that he was to indicate the
economic and financial policy of his party
on this floor, and that you. MI. Speaker. Mr..
Holman, Mr. McMillin, Mr.. Springer and
public life before the young man was born

[Great laughter.l Why, have in my hand
here copy OF the Boston Globe which con-
tains half of a column describing exactly
Is words by the Record that he uttered on
this floor last Friday. [Laughter.l Yester-
days speech will probably baby take two two
this Interruption of last Friday was fol-
lowed by prolonged and great applause on
both sides of the House. [Great laughter on

that you don't appreciate the Kindergarten
Democracy of Massachusetts. Only think of
it! This young man, who was to indicate
the economic and financial policy of the
doing so by the readers OF the Globe in his
district; this young man, who wept over the
defeat of his candidate for Speaker! Laugh
teri But the young gentleman is investi-
eating the sweating system now, and every
meeting of the committee is noted in the
Boston Globe. He will know more about the
system next autumn. He will have his
heaviest perspiration when he sees the re-
turns from the old Fifth district. [Laughter.1
If he has tears to shed, he should prepare to
shed them then. / think the presence of
violated the proprieties that obtain among
gentlemen, is an accident that is not likely
to occur again in Ge leral Banks old dis
trict." [Great applause on the Republican
side.l 'HT7S. ''F'
Not Advertising Stove Polish Makers.
There was dead silence for minute
after the applause had died away, as the
House awaited the answer which was to be
made by Mr.. Hoar to his Massachusetts, col
league.
81 think, Mr.. Speaker" said he, "that the
gentleman from Massachusetts has been ad-
vertised enough"
With that Mr.. Hoar took his seat, and the
Democrats loudly applauded his brief re-
tort
''To which gentleman from Massachusetts,
do you refer?" asked Mr.. Buchanan, and
once more the Republican side burst into
applause. Mr.. Hoar ignored the query of
the gentleman from New Jersey, and thus
the controversy ceased for the time only
however, to be probably revived on future
occasion. The consideration of the rules
was then resumed. The Burrows amend
ment, giving the Speaker the right to count
quorum, was rejected, the demand for the
yeas and nays having been withdrawn.
Mr.. Reed of Maine, offered an amendment
providing that whenever aquorum fails to
vote on any question there shall be call of
the House and the yeas and nays shall at the
same time be ordered. AS each member
answers to his name, he shall vote on the
yeas and nays. Mr.. Reed stated that the
amendment was similar to the one offered
some years ago by John Randolph Tucker.
Mr.. McMillin, of Tennessee, opposed the
amendment, and inveighed against the
action of the last Congress in locking the
doors during a call of the House. He re-
ferred to the celebrated foot of Mr.. Kilgore,
of Texas, in kicking. open the door, and de-
daughter and applausel. The free repre-.
sen tatives OF a free people should never be
called upon to legislate under lock and key.
[ tApplause.l
Mr.. Mills Proud of His Democracy.
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, said that it showed
the adherence of the Democratic party to
freedom that so great a man as Mr.. Tucker
could not induce it to depart from the funda-
mental principle of representative govern
ment. democratic applause.] He was q
Democrat. [Applause.l He went back to
the fundamental principles of representa-
tive government. What was the funda-
mental truth which underlies the whole
system of governments? That it was gov
ernment not of force, but of consent. [Ap.
plause.l Its powers came from the will OF
the people. Were the people to be COM
PEELED to vote?-and Congress had the same
right to do that as to compel their represen-
tatives to vote.
Mr.. Reed desired to divest the debate of all
partisan character, and as he was proposing
q Democratic amendment, supported by
flrst-rate Democratic authority, he was sure
that the House would not allow itself to be
lashed into a state of mind. This House was
three to one, and instead of get
looking calmly to the good and interest OF
the country Mr.. Reed then quoted from re-
marks made by Mr. Springer and Mr.. Black
burn in favor of the Tucker amendment |
when it was first offered.
Mr.. Springer, in retort, quoted against Mr.. |
Reed his utterances upon that occasion in |
opposition to the amendment.
Allen, the Wit. Bobs Up Again.
Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, suggested as a |
that the gen tleman from Maine |
adopt the speech or the gentleman from |
Illinois and the gentleman from Illinois |
adopt the speech OF the gentleman from
Maine. That would save time and put an |
end to the controversy. The amendment |
was rejected.
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana offered an amend. |
ment striking out from the list of privileged |
motions which may be made when any |
question is under debate, the motion to fix a |
day to which the House shall adjourn and to 1
take recess. After debate the Amendments +
was lost-yeas, 81; nays l61.
Mr.. Burrows, OF Michigan, offered an |
amendment providing that no dilatory |
motion shall be entertained by tile Speaker /
Rejected.
Mr. McRae, of Arkansas, offered an amend
nent providing that a Senate amendment to
4 House bill may be considered by the House |
when laid before it BY the Speaker Lost.
Mr.. Boatner offered an amendment strik-
ing out all that part of the rules giving per-
mission to legislate on appropriation bills
when in the interest of retrenchment in ex- /
penditures. He said he did this in order to |
test the sense Of the House. Mr.. Holman, OF |
Indiana, sustained the provision, and was
replied to by Mr.. Dingley, OF Maine, who
predicted that If the proposition were in
iii the rules October would find
the House still in session. Pending action
The HOUSE adjourned.
