the rentlcman from west Virginia is
concerned, and his compAtriots, there is
not the slightest necessity OF my COM

having been carried out in another
branch aud more efsctually Renewed
laughter. 1t is unfortunate for tho
gentleman from West Virginia that he
and his compatriots have had 10 con-
tend with gentlemen Of so much moro
capacity and skill.
Undoubtedly tho house oonterOes
meant well. Undoubtedly their inten'
tions were honorable. But they were
no match for tho gentlemen whom they
mot in tho other branch. They were
not SO skillful as these men orc. Why,

men OF tho house, withoutso much as

fact that, whatever basis was reached, it
would not be a permanent basis on
which this country could do business;
that that Is only an effort on their
part 10 do something, IN effort which

gentleman from West Virginia (Mr.
Wilson, sigualizes his departure from
history by talking about this being a
step in tho onward march. So. not even
