WASHINGTON, April 20.-Befors the tar
If discussion was resumed in the senate
to-day M. MoPherson, dem, of New Jsr-
sey, quoted from New York evening
paper a certain article in reference to his
position on the tariff bill, and In the course
of his remarks stated that 1t was a we'll
known fact that so long as the pending bill
was an improvement on the Mckinley bill
that he (Mr. McPhersop) would support 1t
in full he concluded by stating that he
would remind the journal that it was far
more honorable to tell the truth than to
circulate falsehoods. The PETER resolution
relating to Coxey's army was again taken
! up and strong denunciation of It and of
the speech of the senator from Nebraska
(Mr. Allen). yesterday was made by Mr..
Hawley, rep of Connecticut.
He said: "Mr. President, prefer that
representative of the dominant party
should make some observations upon this
| matter. but the senator from Missouri
yields to me. 1 am sure that the remarka-
BILE speech of the senator from Nebraska
| (Mr. AIlep) ought not to 60 forth to the
country as in any degree representative of
the views of the senate, and 1t ought not
to pass without comment and debate. It
panied and surprised me, confess. I
| think that there is not sensible citizen In
the United States who does not profoundly
sympathize with the tens of thousands of
people suffering in the present extraordi-
nary financial and business crisis. With
expressions of Impotence or resentment
every kind and thoughtful man will be very
patient indeed, nor does any man In the
world think of restraining or overriding
the right of the people In the language
o. the constitution to peacsably
assemble and petition for a redress of
stances arising in the last month or two
that do not come precisely within that
category. All the world is informed from
day to day that bodies of men are assem-
bling as by concert in widely separated
portions of the country and marching
toward the capitol with the purpose of as.
sembling here on or about May to make
some sort of political demonstration by
gathering, as they threaten, In front of the
capitol building in a multitude to be sd-
dressed by their orators, and demanding
tives march bodily into this chamber to be
heard.
81 need not say that that is an extraordi-
nary course of proceeding which is without
precedent in the United States anywhere
unless 1t be found In the colonial days In
New Hampshire, when body of men took
possession of the legislature, or to 60 fur.
Their back when the Gauls marched into
the Roman senate and shook the venerable
boards of the senators. The right of the
people to assemble, the right, If you choose,
however misjudged the movement may bs,
to come here and assemble, I am not ques-
tioning, but wish simply to suggest re-
spectfully that the senate of the United
States owes something to its own tradi
tions and dignity-the house of represen-
tstives will take care of itself-and that
chamber, In this first precedent which may
possibly be followed, should be done
thoughtfully and carefully.
'It Is quite possible to manage this bus
mess gently and firmly and have 1t pass
away, and 1t Is quite possible to so manage
1t that 1t may become habit to make pill
grimsges annually to congress and endeavor
to dominate congress by the physical pres
snoe of the people. The men coming here
say they are the people, and the senator
from Nebraska speaks of them as the peo-
people want to do this, the people have q
right to come here and have right to fill
the galleries, and all that. They may have
and they may not, sir. We have more au.
thoritative advice and imperative COM
msnds from the people of the United
States than Mr.. Coxey can possibly bring.
We have had our advice given us for q
hundred years in the constitution, In the
statutes, in the laws of the District of Co.
lumbis, and in the traditions and rules of
| the senate.
"The will of the people is here carefully
sifted by q most complex and universal
system of selection by the votes OF the
| people, by the action of the representatives
| Of the men who, from personal interests as
well as motives of patriotism, are extreme
ly DESTROYS to do just what the people
| think oughtto be done.
| "Now, sir, 1t Is q matter of common
sense, and not Infamous as the senator
from Nebraska said, that the behavior of
multitudes around this capitol and these
squares here should bs carefully regulated
by laws and rules, and that a sufficient
| body of policemen and, in the case of
riot q body of troops, should be here, to
the end that the constitutions, and laws,
and rules of the senate and the laws of the
District shall be obeyed on every
inch of ground, and in every second
of time, and If there be any patriotism in
the misguided company of men near here
ofthe others who are coming there are
mon in this senate who could address them
and satisfy them, am sure, If they are
Americans and have any respect for their
country. I was psined to hear the senator
from Nebraska refer to the organized mil
itia In this district in the style and manner
he did. It IL q credit to the government,
sir. 1t was thought wise by the best men
that, instead of being obliged to call for q
regiment of regulars, there should be. sf-
people themselves, practically posse COM
mitatus, ready here at the command of the
| civil authorities to maintain order. Such
body has been organised.
ssThe senator speaks of "a man named Ord
way have the great pleasure of being
1 aDle TO personally teetlty-Iof ne was
under my command for time and I knew
him during the war-to his gallantry,
courage, common sense and high personal
character of General Ordwsy. BE is q
brigadier general of militia here. It Is
quite ridiculous, to use no stronger term,
In characterizing 1t as q Islander, to repre-
sent him az mobilizing the militia with q
view to beating anybody over the head
with the butt end of . musket or thrust
Ing q bayonet into him for coming
into this district. venture to
say, Judging by the senator's speech,
that General Ordwsy has more carefully
studied than has the senator the proper
function of the armed force of the gov.
eminent in complete subordination to the
civil power. Not one command Will be
given, not ono step viii be taken under
him-and might say the same of the tens
of thousands Of militia officers in the
land-except 1t the command of the civil
power. The senator proceeded to mAke
other observations, not all of which
| care to discuss, even II ! had time before
o'clock-indsed, do not know that
care to speak longer now. have perhaps
given my sufficient protest.
