In the House the whole of this afternoon

| discussion whether certain words spoken
several weeks ago by Mr.. Walker, of Massa-
chusetts, should be expunged from the
Record 1t will be remembered that Mr..
| Walker, in making speech, had leave to
extend his remarks in the Record. In doing
so he was offensive to those two callow men,
bers of the Massachusetts, mugwump kinder
garten, Sherman Hoar and George Frederick
Williams The latter demanded that the
language be e1punged, as it was both of1en-
| sive and not spoken on the floor OF the
House Mr. Walker declared that the rea-
son it was not spoken on the floor was that
he was not given time. The words were
those he would have spoken had he had the
opportunity.
An Instigarion for Offensive p.eches.
The matter was referred to the Committee
on Printing The report Of that committee
favored e1punging the offensive matter
from the Record The venerable, white
haired Mr.. Walker, the Worcester shoe
maker, was fullv.as offensive in his defence
to-day as he was in the original speeches.
Frederick Williams was as coptemptibly in
sulting to Walker as he could well be, in
sneering at him for bringing his shop man
ners into Congress, as though shop
manners were necessarily bad man.
ners. The fact is Mr.. Walker was
shoemaker only in his boyhood, when he
learned the trade in his fathers shop. He
has been a wealthy shoe man for many long
years, and nothing in his language or ap-
pearance would suggest cultivation and re-
finement less than that of Mr.. Williams,
who is careful to state in his biography in
the Congressional Directory that "he was
graduated at Dedham High School in 1868,
at Dartmouth in 1872, and studied at the
The truth is, the matter objected to was
no more offensive or personal than other
matter which finds immortality in the
Record every day, and nobody except those
thin-skinned youths from Massachusetts,
would have thought of objectiLg to il. AS
it is, the House will probably perform the
solemn act of expurgation. The matter will
come up on Monday, and doubtless a quo
rum of Democrats will be got together and
the resolution passed.
One Way to Pass Away the Time
1t is in this manner that the Democratic
majority is working for the early adjourn
ment promised frequently in the first
months of the session. Five months of the
session are gone and the end is not yet in
sight.
Representative Dalzell will on Monday
present to the House the minority report on
the tin plate bill, which provides that from
October 1 of this year imported tin plate
shall pay l cent per pound duty and
be admitted free after October /, 1894.
The report prepared by Mr.. Dalzell as the
view of the minority of the Committee on
Ways and Means will go over the whole
ground of tin plate manufacture, will show
the wonderful growth of the industry since
the Mckinley law went into operation, and
the fallacy OF the assertions of the majority
report, one of which is that the duty will
impose upon consumers of tin plate a bur-
den of SIS, ,00Q,0 900 year more than they
would have to pay were the article admitted
free.
Delamater Out of Politics, He Save.
George w. Delameter, formerly of Penn
sylvania, is here, as was stated a few days
ago he would be, to further the interests of
a bill now before Congress to permit the
opening of the Puyallup Indian reserva-
tion, which lies just outside the suburbs of
the city of Tacoma. Mr. Delamater comes
as the representative of the Chamber of
Commerce and the Commercial Club of
Tacoma, the latter organization numbering
about 500 members. The ex-senator de-
clares he is out of politics, now and for all
time, and that he will devote himself
strictly to his profession and to business
A very delightful little party was that
present at luncheon given day or two ago
by Secretary and Mrs. Blaine to Miss Susan |
B. Ewing. of Pittsburg, a cousin of Mr.. |
Blaine, and Mrs. Samuel Hazlitt, wife of |
the Washington. Pa, banker, and Mrs. |
Samuel Hazlitt, Jr Mr.. Alfons Won Mumm |
the German Minister |
pro TEN, Miss Phelps, daughter of |
the American Minister to Ger |
many, Mrs Representative Hit, |
Miss Carter and Miss Dodge (Gail Hamil- |
ton) were the guests invited to meet them. |
The table was artistically decorated with |
Easter flowers, and the whole affair was one
IF those extremely enjoyable incidents
which frequently light up the somber old |
mansion on Lafayette Square since the Sec
retary's happy recovery from his alarming
.lleSs of last wear.
