The New Code Of Rules Finally Adopted.
Discussion on Memorial Eulogies.
The House Of Representatives was called
before the bar of public opinion to-day to
answer TO the charge of irreverence to the
memory OF departed Representatives. Stout
Of Michigan was the public prosecutor, and,
in the absence Of counsel, the House pleaded
guilty to the charge. 1t was in history that,
in the days of Adams and Clay and Web
ster and Calhoun, the practice of set
ting apart day for euogy Of deceased
statesman was inaugurated. The eloquent
and spontaneous orations of Webster, CAL
houn and Clay have given place to studi-
ously prepared remarks. AS a eulogy be-
came a duty instead of a spontaneous
tribute, the interest of the House and coun-
try in the events decreased, until Memorial
day, as it is now known, is regarded as q
day of rest and recreation. No one feels it
incumbent ON him to attend the sessions
except the orators Of the occasion. The
first declaration of the nsincerity of such
proceedings came from EnlOw OF Tennes-
see, who desired to amend the rules by pro-
vdiug that eulOgirS TO deceased members
shall be delivered on Sundays only, on which
day the ceremonies will be Openad with
prayers by the chaplain. The amendment
was seconded by Morse Of Massachusetts.
II am in favor Of this amendment" said
Stout of Michigan. Il happened once, Mr..
Speaker, to be in ST. Louis when a funeral
cortege bearing the body of a member OF
Congress passed through that city. The
newspapers the next morning said the body
was left In the railroad depot while the
Senators were talking about the preceding
election in the rOtundas of the hotels
[aughterl, and the young members had
gone to the theater-l suppose to assuage
their profound grief. lGreat laughter.l

we are sincere in our professions of respect
