BLAND'S RINGING SPEECH.
He Characterizes the Members Of
Congress who Obstruct Legis!a-
tiOn as Anarchists-COnf
sion in the House.

Washington, Feb. 23.--Mr. Bland this
afternoon denounced the New York dele
CATION in hot words in the house. He
| was several times called to order by Rep
| resentative Coombs, of New York. The
| house in consequences is in another up
roar.
CALLED THEM ANARCHISTS.
BANDS speech was sensational in its
criticism of the disorder which reigned in
the house yesterday. He declared that
and defying the house we're anarchists
and revolutionists. They were worse
than the criminal who would throw dyna-
mite bombs from galleries. There were
Kisses at this statement which grew louder
and eliminated In cries Of shame.
HE WAS UNDAUNTED.
Bland proceeded in his impassioned
utterances. He said that mobocracy had
taken possession of the house. Moboc-
racy is anarchy which should be given an
object lesson. Anarchists were being
invited to parade the streets and commit
deeds of violence. Bland proceeded and
repeatedly characterized those members
who obstructed legislation as anarchists
and 'revolutionists.
SCENES IN THE HOUSE.
As Bland spoke there were alternate
scenes Of extreme confusion and silent
astonishment. Seldom or never, in the
memory of the most veteran members,
had such violent Characterization of the
house been heard. Bland was frequently
called to order and compelled to take
his seat and then allowed to proceed in
order. While he spoke the aisles of the
house were choked with members. and
the galleries were filled to overlooking.
Bland was loudly applauded in his
milder criticisms, but silence prevailed at
his violent utterances.

upon and that the call would be issued
for caucus Monday morning, in accord.
ance with terms of the request circulated
yesterday. The call does not specify any
particular sub ject for consideration but
there is no doubt in the minds of many
senators that the main, if not the only
purpose of it, is to try and harmonize
the party on the tariff bill.
WILL REPORT FAyoRABLY.
Notice was given of meeting of the
house committee on banking and currency
to-day that the subcommittee which has in
charge the bill Of Ref resentative Cooper
of Indiana, to permit states and terri
tories to tax United States notes and cur
rency will report the bill favorably at the
next meeting of the committee.
To-DAY's HOUSE.
Clerk Kerr called the house to order to-
day. He read communication from
Speaker Crisp, who was suffering from a
severe sore throat and confined to hia
hotel, appointing Representative Richard
son, of Tennessee, as speaker pro tenn fol
to-day. The peculiar circumstances un.
der which the house adjourned yesterday
and the anticipation of the renewal ot
the scenes attracted great crowds to The
galleries. AS soon as the journal was read
Mr.. Adams, of Philadelphia, who was be
ing tried when the proceedings terminal
ed yesterday by adjournment, was camor
ing for recognition on question of priv
ilere.

DEATH OF 4 NOTED PHILAN-
THROPIST.

Mr.. George w Childs, proprietor Of
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, died at
his home last Saturday of paralysis,
aged IS.
He was born in Baltimore and his
first work was as errand boy at 50 a
week when he was II years old. He
moved to Philadelphia and entered i
book store as a clerk. When he be-
came of age he became a partner in
the book-publishing firm of Peterson
& Co.
In 1864 Mr.. Childs purchased the
Public Ledger, raised the subscription
price and the price tor advertising and
made his paper so valuable and such a
power that raising the price nroyed to

of the best and most widely known

THE, RIFF ELL Pa SSID.

The final vote on the new tart. b.l
was taken in the House last Thursday,
1st. The closing debates were strong
and were led by the strongest cham
Mons on either side of the House.
There was a most tremendous crowd to
hear the closing debate and witness the
vote on this measure The corridors
and doorwavs and galleries were liter
ally packed full until there was no
more room. Ex-Speaker Reed was the
principal speaker on the Republican
side. He made a strong speech against
the bill and his speech was greeted
with great applause He was followed
by Speaker Crisp, whose speech was
also loudly applauded.
Then Mr.. Wilson, Chairman OF the
WAYS and Means Committee, who had
done so much work on the bill, made
the closing speech. He was given an
ovation that is seldom seen in the halls
Of Congress. The scene of enthusiasm
surpassed ANYTHING that has been wit
messed in the House within the memo
rv of the oldest member. When he
tried to take his seat cheer after cheer
rang out, men threw their hats and
papers into the air and women their
handkerchiefs. Mr.. Breckenridge OF
Arkansas is said to have embraced
the speaker, and crowd Of his en-
thusiastic admirers, headed by Mess.
BRYAN of Nebraska, and Tucker OF Vir-
gin1a. raised Mr.. Wilson on their shout
ders and carried him in triumph out
of the hall.
AS soon as quiet could be restored
the vote was taken on several amend
ments. The amendment Tor the In
come tax was carried amid applause by
vote of 1872 to so.
After all the amendments had been
disposed of the Speaker put the ques-
ton, "Shall the bill pass?''
The roll was called amid great excite
ment and applause as the doubtful
ones on either side would record their
vote as AYE" or ''No." At the con-
clusion it was announced that the bill
had passed, the vote beng 2O4 for it to
40 against it. All the populists voted
for it except Newlands. of Nevada.

GOOD FOR CONGRESSIHAN BAL
LEY.

Amos J. Cummings, writing from
Washington to the Richmond Dispatch
gives some interesting and amusing &C
counts as to how things run in the
United States Congress.
One especially interesting thing is
the fact that there is one Congressman
who turns back his salary into the treas
ury whenever he is absent. 1t is Con
gresham Bailey He is close attend
ant upon all the sessions of the House
and is so conscientious that if he is alb
sent for only day he turns his salary
back into the treasury. If every mem
Der of the United States Congress- could
show such a record, there would be no

with which to assist depleted treas

"Laziness, pride and extravaganza are
some of the factors. God commands
men to labor six days. OF course tools,

saving machinery has been rapidly

for instance the methods of transporta-

Fifty years ago there were no railroads

as soon as men think they can buy an
article cheaper than they can make it
they are inclined to cease producing it
and buy the same. These goods, too,
are of poor quality often and there
fore still more are purchased. But
how Will they pay for it? They can
not pay for it because this labor-saving
machinery takes away their occupa-

cease to become producers, but they re-

that every man should labor. Six DAYS
shalt thou labor and do all thy work.
All the six days are to be employed in
labor.
Men become extravagant as they be-

Indebtedness. They consume more
than they produce or earn when they
do not labor, and this increases indebt-
edness. They want to dress fine and
live high which increases debts.
