WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The eighth
week Of the present extraordinary ses-
sion and the sixth of the senate debate
on the silver repeal bill has begun. The
attendance of senator's was unusually
small. A resolution was offered by Mr..
PETER and went over, calling for in
formation as to the interest on United
States bonds. The resolution offered
last Thursday by Mr.. Stewart as to the
coordinate departments of the govern
ment, was laid before the senate. Here
is the text:
Resolved, That the independence of
the coordinate departments of the
governmental legislative, the execu-
tive, and the judicial-must be main
tanned, and that the use of its power
and influence OF one department. in
control of another is in violation of the
constitution, and destructive of our
form of government.
Mr.. Stewart began to address the
senate on the resolution, but had not
spoken more than few sentences
when he was interrupted by Mr.. Man.
derson with the remark that the reso-
luton was most important one and
that undoubtedly the speech about to
be made was one that should be heard
by full senate. He suggested that
there was no quorum present. The
roll was called and a. senators Zone
more than quorum) responded.
Scored the President.
Mr.. Stewart then went on with his
speech. He began with a citation
from President Cleveland's speech on
the occasion OF concentrating the
Tooth anniversary of the laying of the
cornerstone of the Capitol. This speech
had been made by president having
more than 100. 900 federal Offices to dis
pose OF, and with veto power which
had been designed only for extraor-
binary occasions, backed by concen-
trated capital and encouraged and fiat
tered by a venal press. He described
Mr.. Cleveland on that occasion as turn
ing his face towards the senate wing of
the Capitol, and in
Angry and Menacins Tones
using the following language: If the
representatives who have assembled to
make laws for their fellow coun trymen
forget the duty of broad and disinter-
ested patriotism and legislate in preju-
dice and passion, or in behalf of sec-
tlonal or selfish interests. the corner
stone of the capitol was laid in vain,
and the circumstances surrounding it
will not be worth commemoration."
This declaration, Mr.. Stewart said.
had been cheered and encouraged by a
thoughtless multitude and construed by
venal press as a rebuke from the pres
ldent Of tho United States to the senate.
The struggle for constitutional lib
erty of the Anglo-Saxon race, which
had been long, arduous and attended
with many Sacrifices, had lasted now
for nearly 1.U0O years.
he went on to quote at great length
from Macauley's History of England as
to the parliamentary struggle with the
Stuart kings.
Coming back to the present time, Mr..
Stewart charged that the president-in
disregard OF his oath of Office to execute
the laws-had permitted the secretary
OF the treasury to violate the law of
Jan. IA, 1891, which made the purchase
Of 4. 5OO, 900 ounces of silver bullion per
month mandatory. In proof of this
charge he presented'a letter from the
secretary of the treasury showing that
in the month of July last $685.
600 ounces of silver bullion had
been offered and only 1882, 261
ounces purchased; and in August
4.7S5,OO ounces offered and only
1887. 900 purchased. He had not vet
the statement for this month, but he
understood the purchases were sill
less, although silver bullion was offered
far below the cost Of production. He
could not conceive how this could be
justified, in view 81 the scarcity of cur.
rency, which should have been in.
creased by the issue of treasury certif.
Gates for silver bullion.
Mr.. Stewart next accused the presi.
dent of violation of the constitution for
his failure to enfore the anli-Chinesa
law.
II constitutional liberty was of anv
value, 1t seemed to him that all friends
and foes) should stand up aud say to
the president Of the United States:
"Ycu have oversteppel the mark. We
cannot afford to have the laws of con-
gress disregarded." r. =. s..>. l.. ~,
