many more as can get. Always forage on the
enemy Is my motto"
The time limited for debate having expired the
opposition resorted to parliamentary tactics TO pre-
vent action In which they were successful, there
being no quorum present. The vote on ordering
the bill to be engrossed the last taken, and
may be considered fair test Of the sense OF the
House. 1t stood, ayes Is. nays 40 or one vote less
than a two-thrds majority for the Ill.
1t was not strange that the Committee on Pacific
Railroads. after the first days debate began to
lose their interest in the matter. and to consider
the postponemen of the subject to the next session
the most probable outcome. They had given the
whole subject thorough examination, and embodied
the results In the pending bill. 1t was evident
enough that majority of the House were con:
WINGED of the correctness Of their conclusions, ana
ready to vote for their bill. But the session
had already continued into the heat of the sum-
mer: Congress was tired out, members We're anx-
ious to get through business and 20 home, ard the
general disposition was to give the go-by to every
thing not absolutely necessary to be done. il was
comparatively easy for two or three men hers to
prevent action on any question by parliamentary
tactics. and Messrs. Holman, Springer and Henley
