WHITAKER RESPONDS.
Senator Whitaker said 1t was not q
political question, out it mny be some.
time in the future. lo had no desire to
reflect untavorsbly on the house, bu, he
wanted 1t to 20 out to tho people that

merits. He had no bill that anybody
could threaten 10 veto or 10 hang up.
Mon replaced IN such q petition rs not

ihny think. lhls question has come
down 10 the passage OF a few bills In tho
other house. Arc mon to be ridden and
brought undor the lash by somebody :?
Il was not a question OF propriety. but
OF force. Senators are 10 be more SORTS,
more servants; their dignity is gone; Is
gono. 1t was evident thnt tho senator
from Ohio was thoroughly aroused, and
III dead earnest.
Senator Davies (Rep.), OF Fnyette,
who has done no talking this session,
his voice trembling with emotion,
begged the senate, for Gods sake, not
TO oStond the session. II that came, 1t
would cost more than two lots. Sena-
tor Henderson (Dem.l, OF Wood, and
Reod (Rep.), OF Harrison, in explaining
their votes, said they were for getting
through with the business. MIR. Reed
had not favored the purchase, bu, he
wanted Adjournment above all things.
Mr. Pecks resolution passed. 10 TO II,
seven Republicans voting no and six
Democrats voting aye. So the bill
passed. with 5000 for tho executive
mansion grounds, and no reason re-
mained for extending the session. The

ot great relief.
In the house Mr. Toler objected to
the appropriation for state mine Ia.
spectors, which was struck out OF tho
bill In the house on his motion and put
back by the conference committee. He
would not oppose 1t he said. but he
wanted it distinctly understood that he
did not want it charged to the miners.
They did not want it. II their bill for
the better inspection and ventilation Of
mines did not pass thoy did not want
any mine inspectors. II that item re-
maincd in tho bill it should be UNDER
stood that the money was given as a pen
sion to the certain parties, and no. for
the benefit OF the miners. H5 know
what he was about when he had it
struck out OF the bill, and he wanted it
to stay out
Mr.. Reynolds replied that while no
understood the situation, he know OF no
reason why the appropriation should
not be made to carry out tho provisions
OF the prsseu. law. and felt that it
would be little less than violation OF
the law to refuse to make It.
N GOOD HuMoR-
The members Of the house werc In n
remarkably good humor to-day. In
fact, good fellowship has been tho rule
throughout the session. The Demo.
Gratis have from the beginning been
treated with degree OF courtesy and
consideration that is unusual in le2isla.
tive bodies. and which Is highly appre.
c:a,eI by them. Much business was
disposed OF to-day, and when an in.
,erval Of few minutes interviewed he-
tween the bills that were being consid.
cred, i. was puncluated by a resolution
thanking or complimcnting somebody.
Most OF these resolutions came fro IN tho
Democratic side and their subjects wore
| the speaker, the clerks and tho news.
paper men. Even the despiaod and
down.trodden lobbyist may have his
innings tomorrow.
Over an hour was spent in tho house
this forenoon discussing resolution
providing that the mail and banking
page receive 81 and othor pages 50 and
50 80 per day. The resolution was
pending when tho house adjourned last
night and met with vigorous opposi.
tion this forenoon on the ground that
tho boys were well paid for their scr.
vices, and it would be violation Of the
law 10 pay more than 1t prescribes.
On tho other hand tho good old Demo.
cratic precedent OF pnst yeara was callod
up, and as much earnestness was dis
played as il millions OF dollars woro at
stake. Moa,ra. Fleming, Ciark and
Kiser favored the resolution in bricf
speeches, and Messrs. Campbell, Cor.
bitt and Blue opposed 1t. Mr. Pyle
called for tho previous question and cut
of further debate. The resolution wns
adopted by vote OF 80 to o..
SARCASTIC REVOLUTIONS,
Mr. Jones, OF kunNwha, offered q
resolution providing tha. number OF
boys who Ind attempted to secure posi-.
,ions a, pagos bo allowed 81 per day for
tho tno lost By thcm, and Mr.. Picrson,
OF Braxton. offered another providing
that tho lobbyists who had 80 faithfully
attended tho sessions bo allowed 81 per
day for each day OF actual attendance.
There Is II strong feeling that better

money than in expanding |. in in
