HIS PATRIOTISM WAS A SELL
And He Did Starve and Swindle
His Employees.
ALL OF WHICH WAS VERY FUNNY
HumorS of the Tariff Debate Which
Have More Things Than
Humor i'm Them.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-In the House
the report of the Committee on Elections
in the contested election case of O'Neill
was presented and ordered printed.
Mcguire of California introduced bill
to regulate the mode of governing mail
carriers. The bill provides that no carrier
shall be removed until after written
charges have been preferred against him
and after the charges have been examined
into by a board of review designated by
the Postmaster General.
Consideration of the tariff bill was then
resumed. the pending amendment being
that Of johnson of Ohio placing steel rails
on the free list.
Wilson asked unanimous consent that
three hours be set aside next Monday for
the consideration of amendments to the
sugar schedule. This was agreed 10. and
DalZell proceeded with his speech begun
yesterday. He began by recapitulatng
the charges he made against johnson. He
had shown, he said, that johnson manu-
featured certain kinds of street rail way
rails behind the protection of 100 paten s
aud wanted the railway rails TO go on the
free list; that he coerced his employees in
the face of winter and starvation into &C.
ceptng their wages in one-third cash and
two-thirds scrip; that he made an untrue
statement and had altered the stenogra-
piers notes, and his last scrip had been
hawked about the streets of JohDstowG
and had been bought in at a discount by a
relative of johnson before it was re-
deemed at par.
johnson replied to DaIZsll in semi
humorous vein; he (Johnson) did not
claim TO be philanthrOpist.
Johuson's amendment to put steel rails
on the free list was lost, 70 to 100.
Henderson Of Iowa offered an amend
ment TO substitute the present law for the
agricultural schedule, and long debate
on agriculture ensued
Loud, Representative of California, de.
voted few minutes to the proposed fruit
schedule, which he said had ruined the
raisn and prupe industry of California.
Walker, Representative from Massa-
chusetts, interrupted Loud with what he
claimed was privileged matter. 1t proved
to be an inquiry as to why the five Demo
cratic members of the Ways and Mean s
Committee who had made speeches re-
fused to print those speeches in the
Record.
Those speeches." said Reed, "have been
hauled up for repair" [Laughter.I
Wanger. Representative of Virginia,
spoke OF the manner in which American
ships went in ballast to Nova Scotia and
came back heavily laden with agricultural
products of Canada. and the rest of the
afternoon was consumed In further dis
cussion of the Henderson amendment.
The House took recess at last till s
O'Clock.
At the nigh, session of the House, Bell
Pop) of Colorado. spoke in favor of
the bill, although it did not go far enough
TO suit him. Shaw (R.) of Wisconsin op-
posed it. especially the proposed reduction
of the duties on barley. Morgan Cd of
Missouri, while he Endorsed the provis-
ions OF the bill generally, condemned in
strong terms the proposition to place lead
ore on the free list. The lead schedule. he
charged as fact within bis own knowl-
edge, had been dictated by the lead trust.
In conclusion he appealed to the House to
remove from this bill any suspicion of
iobbery. Childs (R.) of Illinois closed the
debate in opposition to the bill
