IN THE HOUSE.
The Rules Being Adopted as Reporte
by the Committees

Washington City. Jan. fa-The hous{
gave IT'S time today 70 4 discussion OF md
proposed amendments 10 the rules OF ths
Fffty-first congress, which were proviI
sionally adopted early in the session ID
govern this house. Two interesting dis
euSsions relieved the monotony OF the
technical debate. One was preeipisated by
Walker OF Massachusetts,. chairman Of
the banking and currency committee, whoj
made a fight against the proposition 70
drop the committee on banking and cur
rency from the list OF committees priv a.
iIeged 70 report bills 10 the house at any
tine. A partisan debate resulted. inv
which Walker was supported By the Dem
Gratis and a Republican contingent which,
included many OF the silver men. Wal
ker failed TO carry his point, the vote bel
ing 1l2 10 IS9.
The house refused 20 adopt an amend
ment 10 the rules providing for GedGction|
from members pay for absences not duel
10 sickness.
Another surprise was brought into the]
debate by Hepburn. Rep. Ia. who made
a vigorous speech against the usual rule|
putting in the hands Of the speaker dis
cretion in the matter OF recognizing MEM
bers 10 speak He said that II any pTin-
ciple was we'll established it was the
equality OF every constituency with every
other on the floor, yet members were sur
rendering their power ana IDeir eQaai
rights TO the speaker. and putting into
his hands the power 10 paralyze any con-
stituency through whole congress. Hep
burn would make ii the speakers duty TO

him.
Henderson. Rep. Ia, replied that start
ling innovation was proposed. He con-
ceied that great power Was given 10 the
speaker. hut under any other system ev-
cry member would have 10 be- heard on ev-
cry question. Ii was proper that the speak
er should first recognize the members OF

Bell. Pop. Col, seconded Mr. Hepburn,
saying that the Populist members repre-
scented I.90eV votes. yet they were prac-
ticaiIy without rights on the floor; that
they had no place on important commit
tees. and not one of them had been permit
ted 10 open his mouth for iive weeks. He
complained that the state Of Maine monop-
ollzed the leadership Of the house with four
important places, while the state Of Colo
radO vas not recognized, although it had
single counties with more wealth than
Maine.
When Bell had concluded Hepburn arose
and said. Il desire TO withdraw my amend
ment," and there were applause and shouts
OF laughter on the Republican side. At
o'clock the house adjourned until tomor-

HOW SOCIALISTS TALK.
Few Samples of Their Ideas and
Orat0ry.

Oratory.
meeting OF the Socialist Labor party was
held at Assembly hall yesterday afternoon.
Despite the heat, about seventy five per-
sons, including several women, attended the
meeting. Emile Constant, in speaking of
the silver question. said the Populist party
had been swallowed up by the money power
and that both the other parties had long
ago gone the same way. The battle cry of
16 to l was simply the warfare between the
gold capitalists and the silver capitalists.
The Socialists believed in the motto coun-
try, fraternity and liberty, rather than the
money question. The politicians talked much
about Old Glory, but behind this was the
real question, Old Doodle.
HI. E. Beach said that just before every
election the politicians were loud in the talk
of what they would do In favor of the labor
ing man. The Socialist party, he said, held
that there were two classes, those who pro-
duced by labor all there was in the world
and another class which lived on the pro-
dueers. For the next three months he said
the money question would be uppermost In
the minds of the people, but it made no Diff
ference to the laboring man whether the
money Of the country was gold, silver paper
or tin. All that a laboring man would have
to do was to work for the money, and If
there was no work it mattered little what
of money there was. Politicians claimed the
interests of all classes were the same but
this was shown to be false by the formation
of trusts and corporations by capitalists and
also by the many trades unions. The cap
italists cared just as much for labor as
man did for q horse when he wanted to use
the animal
A. G. Rasmussen contended that the cleo
eft the laboring man. The laboring men had
nothing to sell but muscle, and the free COIN
age of silver would not, in his opinion, in
crease the field of labor. The money ques-
ton now before the people was simply q
dispute between the gold and silver capt.
talists.

Tom Cook, in a Fit of jealousy,
Uses His Revolver.

Tom Cook, in n Fit of Jealousy,
Uses His Revolver.
Tom Cook would have been better off
probably had he spent yesterday in
ST. Paul instead of going out to Min
netonka- But he didn't know that until
late in the day. Cook and Buck Nc
Manus, who is known in the two cities
as a pugilist, and few others went out
for an outing. Everything went along
nicely until Cook got it into his head
that McManus was paying too much
attention to his companion. He didn't
like it and, although McManus was a
fighter, Cook called him down. The
pugilist resented it, so it is reported,
and Cook pulled out a revolver and
took a shot at McManus. The bullet
entered McManus' left side; but did not
inf1ict a serious wound. They made
friends after the trouble and returned
to Minneapolis together, where Nc
Manus had his wound dressed by a
doctor, who said that it was not serious,
unless some complication set in. Nc
Manus wouldn't talk about the trouble
more than to say that Cook had done
it and that he wouldn't prosecute him
under any circumstances
Cook came to ST. Paul, but the police
Of Minneapolis thought the wound
might be more serious than 1t appear
ed, last night, and If SO it would be a
good thing to have Cook where they
could reach him. They communicated
with the ST. Paul police, and few
minutes after midnight Lieut.. Pothen
and Sergt Davis arrested Cook at 440
Rosabe1 street. He spent the remain
der of the night in the Central police
station.
