which was gradually assuming the func-
tions Of all the House committees. Under
that committee. as now, all places would be
patronage. He was told that one Senator
had dictated seven appointments in the
present library force and Mr.. Cannon had
admitted that he had one.
Mr.. Cannon opposed the substitute. He
contrasted its provisions with those of the
bill and said there appeared no sufficient
reason for the changes proposed. He was
not in favor even of the clause in the
bill relative to the appointment of sub
ordinates 1t was better to let the law
stand as it is. But Mr.. Qmgg's proposal,
giving the Library Committee sole power
over employees was unheard or.
Mr. Quigg called attention to his amend
| ment that removals should only be for
cause.
well, cause means anything that is
| displeasing to the person having hepower,'
replied Mr.. Cannon.
He continued that Congress had not the
power to put this duty on the Library
| Committee. 1t was forbidden by the Con-
stitution. 1t was a forbidden mixing of
| the legislative and the executive.
The House and Senate must appointtheir
own employees undoubtedly, but under
that condition the House had third
| more employees than it would have if
| managed as a department and the Senate
| has per capita four times as many as the
| House.
WAS FINALLY ADOPTED.
Mr.. Fairchild offered an amendment that
copyright places be controlled by the Com
n1yya ,art'

Discussion Of the substitute then closed.
An amendment to the bill by Mr.. Shaf-
roth reducing the salary to $1,000 was
carried II to 81.
amendment by Mr.. Richardson making
the appointment subject to the Senate's
approval was lost.
Sorry you spoke of it, said Mr..
| Stone. 1.-The Senate will be sure to put
itin and they might not havethoughtofit." :"
Mr.. Mccormick offered an amendment
requiring the librarian to make all ap-
| pointmentS for fitness only and prohibit
| ing their removal except for cause. 1t was
adopted-61 to 80.
Efforts to amend the text of the Quigg
substitute were defeated and the substitute
itself was rejected-27 to So.
Mr.. Gillett offered an amendment direct
| ing that all appointments, save those of
| the librarian and two assistants, be made
| from the eligible lists furnished by the
| Civil Service Commission, which was au-
| thorized to hold examinations for the
| places. 1t was reiected-37 to 50.
| In the consideration OF the paragraph
making appropriations for the Civil Serv
| icp Commission Mr. Evans read a short
| speech against the law. At the conclusion
of his remarks the committee rose and the
House, at 800, adjourned until tomorrow

FACTS IN THE CASE.

He read from Mr.. Quigg's statement to
the committee saying Mr.. Spofford had
shown himself unable to deal with the
library, hut he didn't know whether any
body else could have done better.
But the Library Committee wants to take
from him all power ana vest il with itself,
from tie purchase Of the new furniture
and control OF the specialists down to the
appointment OF laborrrs They would not
need the librarian of eminent qUalifica-
tions described by MI Qugg if that We're
! done They could get man for 500
VINO would record the wishes of the com
mittee
Mr. Mcmillan asked Gen. Bingham about
the salary. $4,000, proposed by the bill
for the librarian and argued that it was
more than Congressman, governors and
State judges get. 1t WAS too much.
Referring to patronage inthe library Gen
Bingham said absurd stories were in circu-
| lation one was that MI Cannon had
| fourteen appoinlees there. This was not
| true.
| Mr. Cannon interrupted to say that he
| knew just two persons in the library, Mr..
| SpOifOrd and one other, whose appointment
| had been made upon his recommendation
after consultation with Mr., Harmer, chair
man Of the House Library Committee.
Mr. Cummings then got the floor When
| my coleagUe-Mr Quigg-was on his feet
the OF her day all the members of what you
call the House combine was on its feet
deviling him and asking him questions, and

WAS NOT HIS BILL.

Now ! want you to understand that
did not support this substitute; neither did
my colleague from New York. We had a
wholly different proposition. This is our
committees plan.
Now as to this matter of patronage,
as a Democrat l shall have very little to
do with it,
lit was stated the other day." he con-
tinued, that great pressure had been
brought TO bear to secure appointments
in the library. The librarian was not
allowed TO choose assistants according to
their merits, but he was made to name
men suggested TO him by Influential Con
gresSmen.'
II challenge the truth OF that state
ment," exclaimed Mr.. Cannon.
"Oh! read Mr.. spofford's testimony be-
fore the committee, said Mr.. Cummings,
shaking his head with energy.
Il challenge the truth of that state
ment and ask you to produce the proof
Al can't produce it we haven't had time
TO print it. Why don't you ask me to
read you President McKinIey's inaugural
message?"
Mr.. Cummings then disclaimed any crti-
cism of Mr.. Spofford. He was most
capable man in the place.
Mr.. Cummings spoke OF the request Mr.
Spofford had made TO be relieved OF the
copyright work. The desirability of grant
ing it had been admitted Yet here came
the Appropriations Committee anxious to
take all power 10 itself and ready to de-
prive the Library Committee of all it's
functions. II gave the librarian entire
charge of this great new building, library,
copyright, custodian of the building, en-
gineers, electricians, messengers, laborers,
even down To charwomen, with purchasing
OF furniture and removal OF the books.
THAT'S great relief, no doubt" be ex-
claimed.
