OF the finance committee at which Mr..
toorhees was supposed to state by au-
thorIty that 10 compromise would take
place on the repeal bill in which he or
the administration could be considered
as factor.
MIR. MILLS CONQUERED
IN the opinion OF Speaker Blaine re-
ferrcd to by Mr.. Frye There was 10
doubt there was paramount ami per-
nianent power in both houses. and TO
get the rules Necessary to enable them
to dispatch public business the admis-
sion was made after the rules had been
adopted and against the party Of the
speaker.
= Mr.. Mills then scored Mr.. Daniel with
being guilty Of revolution. Who had
been guilty of revolution when the SEN
ate for more than two months had been
doing nothing, while indignation was
sweeping over the whole land?
- Il do not blame the minority [
blame the majority for sitting still like
children and permitting the govern
ment TO be para!yzed. The government
Is state OF paralysis. You cannot pass
al appropriation bill or bill reducing
taxation, nor help your commerce be-
cause, we are told the senate has left
Its rules and abdicated its power, and
the great branch of The government,
Instituted with power to leglslate for
the people, is a dead body until the mi
nority permits it to act.
The issue has entirely changed, and
1t is useless to discuss the wisdom or
unwisd0m of the repeal of the Sherman
law. The whole question i'll which the
American people have the deepest in
terest today is, Shall the majority or
minority of the legislative branch rule?
Shail the hIip will hQ Iifrn-n6 oil
lowed to stand at the demand of the
minority or majority? Who shall pre-
scribe the terms Of having to
say to US, You must register
our Decree | am asked tauntingly
Will L go into caucus, and will 1 sign
paper that | will agree to abide by
ana carry into execution whatever the
majority in the caucus shall write
down? L say without any hesitation,
no. L have not touched that point of
ESTABLISHMENT that | will come here
anu register the will of somebody from
some other part of the laDd.n
Mr.. Mills said that SO long as he had
been in congress no such proposition
had been made. He announced his
Willingness TO go into conference. In
reference to the criticism OF his state
ment that he would vote for no amend
ment to the pending bill, Mr.. Mills
said he was the proprietor of his own
vote and would vote it as he pleased.
There was time when he talked of
compromise, but since the chief of the
Democratic administration was charged
with infidelity to his party and there
was the beginning of an anti-adminis-
tration party in the senate, he cut his
bridges and burned them behind him
Oh the subject of compromise. He was
Democrat who stood by the organized
administration of his party, and the
Democratic people would do the same
thing. The people did not intend to
abandon the organization, nor did they
intend to see the chief OF that admins
tration pulled down.
Il do not intend to be deferred by the
taunts that l AIN serving with the SEN
ator from Ohio (SherInan), that he is
my chief. Politics makes strange bed
fellows. Where does the other gentle
man stand? Under the leadership of
the distinguished senator from Kansas
(Peffer). [Great laughter 1t is Ques-
ton OF taste very much about these
things. If there is more affinity, more
attachment for the doctrines of the
senator from Kansas, l say to my
TrieLds, go as you like it,"
AT 5:l5 p. N. Mr.. Voorhees, moved
that the senate take recess until 10
O'clock tomorrow morning, which was
agreed to.
