tor from Massachusetts, is violating
the rules by continuing the debate on
resolution that has Just gone over.

'Tf the senator from Tennessee owes
anybody any courtesy" retorted Mr..
Hoar, In kind, "he IL hope
| less bankrupt; he could not pay one

He could owe as much as the sem
ator from Massachusetts," returned
| Mr.. Harris and with this parting
shot the incident closed.
