DEFIED SPEAKER MUDD.
Mr.. Smith of Cecil County, Creates a
Scene in the House of Delegates.

SCCuc Ill INC mouse vi delegates.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 11.-Speaker Mudd
today was forced to call on the sergeant-at-
arms of the House of Delegates to quiet a re-
calcitrant and noisy member who bid defiance
to the House and to the sergeant-at-arms.
The member was Mr.. Smith, of Cecil county,
who is of an excitable temperament and has
heretofore had hot words on the floor with
various members, but who never before went
to the extreme of defying the presiding officer
or the constituted authorities of the House
Tho origin OF the trouble was an order
authorizing the State librarian to furnish
each member Of the House with fountain
pen. The order was reported favorably by
the committee on claims, of which Mr..
Smith is chairman When reported several
members spoke on it and then Mr.. Applegarth
moved the previous question. At this Mr..
Smith jumped up and pleaded with Mr..
Applegarth not to insist on the motion, but
to give the Delegates further chance to dis
cuss the order. He himself, he said, might
have something to say. His request was
complied with and the motion withdrawn
and the discussion continued.
Mr. Smith finally arose and started to OK
plain his position and that Of his committee
when the Speaker requested him to be seated
as he had once addressed the House on the
subject. At this Mr.. Smith fared up and in
an angry tone said he did not propose to be
so summary disposed of on all occasions.
Speaker Mudd got mad and. pounding his
gaval vigorously peremptorily ordered the
mem Der from Cecil to sit down.
II won't do it, said Mr. Smith.
II ask you to take your seat, repeated the
Speaker.
"And refuse to obey. said the recalcitrant
member.
"Tho sergeant-at will see that the
member is seated" yelled the Speaker, his
face white with anger.
"And | say there is no single man in this
body nhe to make me DO II, holly responded
Mr.. Smith. ~ you want to force me, you
have got TO send a bigger man than that" he
continued. dcristveiy pointpG his finger at
| the sergeant-at-arms, who is by no means Il
robust person.
Sergeant-at-Grms Devilbiss oHeyed the
Speaker, however, and advanced to Mr..
Smiths seat. In the meantime there was
great commotion in tho House. Members
were standing up, watching with suppressed
emotion the conflict between tho Speaker and
| the member.
Some o. Mr. Smiths friends went to him
| and persuaded him to sit down before the
Sergeant alarms arrived He finally yielded
to these appeals, and when Observation-Disclosures
Devilhiss requested him to take his seat he
did so. but with a scowl Mt the Speaker
Order was restored and the debate proceeded,
and the order which raised all the rumpus
was finally defeated.
After adjournment the Speaker and Mr.
Smith patched up truce, with mutually
satisfactory explanations.

On Thursday the House passed the Pen

or tie Democrats, as well as the Republicans.
In the main, it does mot differ materially
from that passed by the Senate, and it is
hoped that Il committee of conference will
slcceed in bringing in bill to which both
houses will agree. Probably the most i'm
portant difference is the matter of r gistra-
ton. Tho Senate bill provides for annual
registration in the city. but only for a re-
vision in the counties. The House bill pro-
vides for annual registration in the city, II
new registration in the counties this year,
and registration every eight years thereafter.

WADENA Pioneer: The organizing of
committees composed of well-known
politicians out of jobs, firing all kinds
of political abuse and uncalled-for crit
icisms at the devoted head of the gov
ernor, and through the agency of
mongrel newspapers like the Minneap-
oils Times, attempt to circulate all
kinds of rot around the State about an
alleged damnable and corrupt ring, of
which Gov. Clough is the head, is q
poor way to fight, and when such tao
tics are pursued they are very liable to
be repudiated by the people at large.
Gov. Clough, SO far as we know, is an
honest citizen, who aspires to be gov
ernor, and if the people object to him,
which they have a perfect right to do,
let them do it firmly and honestly. At
all events he is entitled to far better
treatment than he is receiving at the
hands of a number of Minneapolis pol
iticians, and if they keep it up the
whole State is liable to repudiate such
tactics.

=: SENATOR LODGE has introduced a
bill restricting immigration which has
several meritorious points. One is the
exclusion of all persons who are so ig-
norant as to be unable to read or write
any language. If this provision is
adopted it will exclude most of the UNI
desirable immigrants and work on this
class alone. The present state of i'm
migration laws threatens to perma-
nently injure the quality of our citizen
ship and lower American wages. Sem
ator Lodges bill should become law.

| There is a movement being made to
secure to cooperation of all citizens of
the United States in perfecting
method of arbitration which may be
adopted by congress. The era of
blood and battle seems to have de-
parted and all civilized nations are
seeking bloodless. adjustments of in
ternational difficulties. There should
be no great difficulty encountered in
making such arrangements with Great
Britain for its subjects are just as
heartily in favor Of arbitration as their,
Yankee cousins are, and with two such
nations supporting the cause, its uni
versal adoption would be a question of
few months.
The meeting held in New York last
Tuesday evening was governed by men
who have made this question study.
The resolutions there adopted, there.
fore, will acceptably show the trend of
the movement.
Whereas, the true grandeur of ma
tiOns'' means the arts of civilization,
justice secured by statute, and mag
nanimity inspired by good will, which
fundamental conditions are ALWAYS
married by the wasteful, bitter vio-
lence of war: and, whereas, the United
States and Great Britain, akin in Ian
guage, Jurisprudence and legal meth
DDS, are already accustomed to arbi-
trate their disagreements and have
emphatically declared themselves in
favor of such arbitration-cong by
the action of both houses in 1892, and
the house of commons by its vote in
1893 therefore,
AesOlred, that we earnestly desire
such action by our national legislature
and the executive as shall make per-
manent provision for some wise method
OF arbitration between the two coun-
tries, it being our hope that such a
step will ultimately lead to interna-
tional arbitration throughout the civ
ilized world.
,Resolved, accordingly, that measures
tration and in concert with like COM
mittees from other cities, for the con
vening in the city of Washington at
the earliest practicable date, of con-
ference of citizens representing every
portion of the country, without dis
tinction of party or creed.
Resolred, that we gratefully recog-
nize the action already taken in this
direction by representative citizens of
Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities.
and that we rely on their vigorous CO.
operation in promoting the success of
the proposed national Conference
While this was being done in New
York an arbitration debate occupied
the attention of the members of Eng
lands house of commons. The matter
was not nicely put and the amendment
was therefore lost, but the, speeches
show that the feeling in England is
very similar to that. expressed in this
country. ss... +. =
Should the agitators of this method
OF settling international differences at
tain success, the day of the adoption of
arbitration would be hailed with:re-
spect and revered by posterity, and ma
lions who persist in! supporting stand
ing armies would be considered little
better than barbarians. Let the day

welcome it. 70 -
