stsnd as he deserves to stand, oonspicu-
Gus in the line OF illustrious public SER
wants OF his country, and long years
hence, when the actors OF today's tenn
pestuous scenes shall have passed away,
the accessories OF our political etfiie, the
misunderstandings, the misintorpreta-
tions and all uncheritableness will be
lost In oblivion or only be recalled as we
now in cur curiosity recall the scenes
around great figures in the story of our
national lie, who suffered in their day
from unmerited caiumuy, and the stat
nre OF the figure OF Grover Cleveland
will rise in glowing honor for his noble
character and bis devoted ssli-sscrificlng
service to his country, supreme and
above detraction.
Gas some tall cliff that lifts its awful form
swells from the vale and midway cleaves
Though round its breast the rolling clouds are
spread
Eternal sunshine settles on its head"
Mr.. Villas then Withdrew his motion
made on Friday, and said he would vote
to send the b II to conferences.
Mr Stewart (Pop.) of Nevada began a
speech on the respective prerogatives of
congress and the executive. He de-
clared the conditions were such that a
member OF congress must obey the presi-
dent or leave congress. The power and
influence of the executive was such that
1t could control the election or defeat of
a member. 1t was trfling with n great
question, he said, for the president to
reopen it after compromise had been
reached, for the purpose OF taking 40
cents ton OF coal and iron.
When Mr.. Stewart concluded, the
20 4
ton to be on Mr.. Hills resolution for
ments making coal and iron ore dutiable
at 40 cents per ton.
Mr.. Hill demanded division OF the
question so the vote WAS first taken on
iron ore. The Republicans, except Mr..
Hsnsbrough, voted with the Democrats,
and the frat half of the resolution was
lost-6 to 65. The siy affirmative votes
were: Hill and Irby, Democrats; Hans.
broush, Republican; Allen, Kyle and
PETER, Populists.
That portion OF the resolution reced-
ing from the duty on coal shared the
fate OF its predecessor, being defeated
to "a. The same senators voted for this
motion as for the iron ore proposition.
Mr.. Washburn (Rep.) of Minnesota
then submitted motion to instruct the
senate conferees to rscede from that por.
tion OF the sugar schedule placing the
one.eighth of q cent differential on sugar
above l6 Dutch standard. Nr. Gray OF
Delaware made the point of order
against the motion that it was not com.
petent for the senate to instruct the
conferees of full and FREQ conference to
insist upon or recede from any psrticu-
lar amendment. 10 do SO would be to
prevent the free and untrammeled con.
sideration OF amendments in conference.
Mr.. Hale conteaded that an instruc-
tion to the conferees to receds from any
amendment put upon the bill by the
senate would not trsmmel the conferees.
1t would simply eliminate the subject OF
difference.
Mr.. Mills bolstered Mr.. Gray's point
OF order with another that the senate
could not recsde from a portion of an
amendment, and therefore the senate
could not instruct it's conferees to do
that which it could not do itself. With
out discussing the point of order the
senate at :45 p. m. adjourned.
