this resolution inquiring into the legality
of the recent bond issues.
Mr.. Hill suggested that the committee
might wish to wait for an opinion from
the attorney general.
Mr.. PETER said he did not want the
opinion of the attorney general; that he
himself knew more about the matter than
did the attorney general.
"Then | have no more to say" replied
Mr.. Hill.
The resolution went to the calendar.
Mr.. Blackburn moved to take up the
pOstoffice appropriation bill, and Mr.. AL
len took the floor, but gave way to Mr..
Stewart TO discuss the last message of
the president on the currency question.
Mr.. Stewart declared that the pres-
dent. in his alternative proposition to
congress, has construed the bond issue
under the present law to be silver bonds
and proposed premium on gold. The
president contracted to issue gold bonds,
and gold bonds were something entirely
unknown to eXistin,; law. N0twithstand-
ing congress had not given its sanction
ment it was nevertheless responsible for
the result and could not avoid it. The
administration had refused to carry
out the laws and congress should face
the question squarely and determine
whether officials should obey the laws.
Nr. Stewart closed with the warning
Lar if the present conditions continued
he end would be revolution.

Alabama, but was interrupted by a point
OF 20 quroum by Mr. Hoar.
A quorum responded to a call and Mr..
Allen continued his speech.
AT its close Mr.. Morgan read q protest
against the proceedings in the senate by
himself and colleague, Senator Pugh,
characterizing the speech as a ''clear
abuse of parliamentary law in disregard
Oh the urgent necessities of public busi-
ness and an assault upon Alabama as a
state of the. Union and upon the character
OF our people and government. He called
attention to the fact that today's speech
was made while an appropriation hill
was under consideration and said that
the speech was not relevant, important
or germane.
Ihey say it was impossible to vote upon
the question raised by Mr.. Allen. and
added: ut was especially impossible for
Alabama, with decent respect for the SEN
ate and proper regard for the public bust
ness, now to reply to the charges of gross
fraud and injustice in eight or nine of the
sixty counties of the state upon which
the senator from Nebraska, through un-
lushhable abuse of the privilege of de-
bate, has taken occasion to arraign the
state of Alabama at the bar of the SEN
ate as common culprit. Due respect
and Difference from the sovereign state
they represent forbids the senator from
Alabama from acknowledging the right
of the senator, admitting its jurisdiction
to hear and determine a question relat-
ing to her rights as one of the sovereign
states of the American Union. What
ever attitude congress may have the right
TO impose upon Il state of the Union il
cannot be asserted that the view of con-
Sress acting alone can decree that n state
is in the Union or out of it according to
its pleasure, nor can investigation be
fully made which has for it's object such
a determination as to the rights of state
except under law of congress duly en-
acted and approved. They say the fact
that seats in the house of representatives
are being contested should prevent the
senate from any interference in the mat
ter under the commonest instances of
propriety. They also claim that the SEN
ate cannot investigate the election of the
governor under any circumstance. and
that they are barred from such an investi-
cation of the election of the legislature.
They assert Senator Aliens charges are
made upon hearsay evidence of men
who expect reward of Office.

tinues, with affidavits, letters and notes

the world through the medium of the
congressional record at the expense of the

laws and before home judges and iuries
