Mr.. Henderson presented from the
committee on rules resolution making
Saturday individual suspension day I'M

Mr.. Grosvenor called up the resolu-
ton reported from the committee on
civil service directing the heads of the
several executive departments to re-
port to Congress the number and per,
sonnet of the changes in the clerical
force since March 4, 1898. He said the
information was desired that the coun-
try might know how skilfully and sue
cessfully the administration had been
working to enthrone pure civil service
in the government.
Much amusement was created by
colloquy between Messrs. Grosvenor
and Dockery over the effort OF the latter
to have the resolution amended so as
to extend the scope of the resolution
over the Harrison administration. In
its present shape" said Mr.. Dockery,
"the resolution of the gentleman is open
to the suspicion of being partisan IN IT'S
nature. 1t was said that in the Har'
rison administration the civil service
law was suspended in order to dismiss
LOO employees of the mail service.
This is the suggestion made by the
wicked democrat from Tennessee, Mr:
McMillin, and the opportunity should
be offered to vindicate the Harrison
administration from that aspertion.
Mr.. Grosvenor said that Mr.. Dockery
had correctly designated Mr.. McMillin
as wicked democrat, but insisted that
Mr.. Dockery's amendment should be
kept by itself. sit has merit" gravely
remarked Mr.. Grosvenor, "but 1 pre-
fer that the pristine purity of my resolu-
ton be not disturbed
The democrats opposed the passage
of the resolution, and secured q vote by
yeas and nays. 1t resulted yeas, ITO;
nays, So.
MIR. Dockery then sought to secure
his desired end by moving to recommit
the resolution with Instructions to make
it cover the removals and changes in
tho Harrison administration. Lost.
The resolution was then agreed to,
yeas, 147; nays, As.
Mr.. Strobe demanded the previous
question upon the resolution declaring
Martin, populist, entitled to the seat
occupied by Lockhart, democrat, from
the sixth North Carolina district, which
was considered yesterday. 1t was or
dered, and Mr.. Bailey moved to substi-
tute the resolution of the minority of
the elections committee No. 2, declar-
ing Lockhart entitled to his seat.
On the vote to seat Martin in place
of Lockhart from the sixth district of
North Carolina, the democrats vacated
the House in order to break quorum.
The Speaker pro tenn, however, over
ruled the point made by Mr.. Bailey that
no quorum was present, declined
to entertain an appeal from his
decision, and vote of 113 tC 5 de-
clared the resolution carried giving
Martin the seat. Martin was then
sworn in.

FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1886.

Most PEOPLE have short memories.
The President is by no means as much
to blame for the present condition OF the
party that nominated and elected him
as are the managers Of that party. The
wiser democrats, after the experience
of Mr.. Cleveland's first administration,
advised against both his second and
third nomination, and, before the latter,
said he would wreck the party, if re-
elected. But, as their party's nominee,
they voted for him, and they have sup
ported his anti-jingo and sound money
policy, and every thing else that ne has
done that merited support. But the
men who insisted upon his third nomi-
nation and second election, who of all
the democratic host would have no
other standard bearer, and who forced
him upon a reluctant party, have turn
ed against him, and now denounce him
even for what he deserves credit. Ihey,
however, and some of them are Vir-
ginians, still presume to be leaders OF
the democratic party, and many Of the
members of that party are silly enough
to acknowledge them as such, and to
continue them in positions of emolu
ment, ifnot of honor. They should be
made to bear their full share of the
blame of the present administration.

THOUGH the government is so short OF
money that it can't pay its honest debts,
it has gone to the unnecessary ex-
pense of preparing and printing docu-
ment showing the number, equipment

Cuba, and the losses that army has sus-
tained during the existing negro insur-
rection there. This, of course, has
given Spain another just cause of COM

sooner or later it will provoke retalia-

SECRETARY HERBERT made speech

SECRETARY HERBERT made speech
at Annapolis yesterday, in which he
said the day would come when "Mr.
Cleveland would be exalted higher
than ever before;;" also that the most
touching scenes he could recall were
those in which "the officers of the fed
eral navy welcomed back those who
left them at the commencement of the
war" What does the Secretary of the
Navy mean? Mr.. Cleveland, having
been elected to the Presidency twice,
and nominated for it three times, has
already been exalted more than any
other man his country has produced,
and it was not until thirty years after
the close of the war, that officers of the
navy who left it in 1861 bad the bans of
exclusion removed from them.
