The last republican administration was
voted out of power and he believed it
deserved defeat. Last fall the people
had overthrown the democratic majoii-
ty III the house because the democratic
party had shown itself incapable Of
dealing with the problem before it. AS
10 p0pulists, he did not believe they
would eyer be in power and therefore
ne believed it would either devoiye upon
the republican or democratic party to
solve the problem eventually when the
pressure Of the people would at last
force logical action on this monetary
| problem. ANY scheme to secure his vote
must be in line with what he believed
10 be its solution.
Senator Teller closed with an eloquent
appeal TO those on the Other side of the
chamber to present d solution for the
existing problem which would not sur
render silver.
LODGES POSITION
Senator Lodge spoke of the danger of
resisting appropriations and thus kill
ing laws by stagnation. He did not,
therefore, approve OF refusing the APP
preparation necessary to execute the in
come tex. The imposition of a direct
tax was the necessary result of aband
oning the protective policy of indirect
taxes. He referred to the present cry
for currency legislation as q move in
tended to cover up the most dismal
failure in tariff legislation the country
had ever seen. The first step to take
to overcome the distress Of the treasury
was to raise more revenue. None of
these schemes could pass. But if the
essential thing was done, and more
revenue secured for the treasury, he
and his associates would gladly assist
in passing a measure to accomplish
that end. Such a measure was impel-
atiVe, instead Of any more such bills

house of representatives.
Senator Stewart followed with
speech urging the restoration Of silver
as the only means of remedying the
present distress in the condition Of the
government.
r At 4:20 Senator Stewart yielded the
floor, to resume again Monday, and the
senate adjourned.
INCOME TAX GOES ANYHOW.

the Senate Subcommittee.
Washington, Jan. 12.-Senators Hill
and Platt, sitting as a subcommittee
of the senate committee on judiciary,
today heard the statements of Mr., Nc
Adoo in substantiaton Of his charges
against Hon. C. d. Clark, nominee for
the office of district Judge in the east
ern ana middle districts of Tennessee
and also the statements Of Messrs. W.
II. Barr and others, who appeared for
the Farmers Loan and Trust Company.
The charge made is that Of unprofes-
sionaI conduct growing out of the case
Of -. ". Davis vs.. the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company and the Chatta
noOga Union itailroad Company, which
the firm Of Clark & Brown are alleged
- have assumed to appear for both
sides of the controversy. There was an
allowance to the firm in this matter,
which is criticized by the parties max
ing the charge as gross fraud, which 10
court of conscience would countenanCe,
and the conduct of the firm is charac-
terized as q breach of professional
ethics, which can not be too severely
condemned. Mr.. MCAdO0S friends are
directing their plea especially toward
prevailing upon the committee to accept
the new testimony and not to depend
entirely upon the record of the Tennes-
