MR.. CRIsP's sARcAsM.
Now, 1 think that is noteworthy
event. / recoIlect that our friend who
now occupies The Speakers chair, in the
last Congress and the Congress before, used
very often to stand about where my friend
from Illinois (Mr. Cannop) now stands
and congratulate his side or the House on
their capacity to transact the public
business, and 1t affords me infinite pleas
ure TO say on this occasion that whatever
our miSdoings or shortcomings may have
been, we never reached that slate Of mind
where we were unable 10 frame and pass
an ordinary appropriation bill. (LaGgh-
ter.)
This bin applies to the District of
Columbia. II applies largely to this
beautiful city in which we are all inter
ested and we have been told time and time
again chat as 10 this city we are a board
of aldermen, or a common council Now,
/ want 10 say TO you, my friends on the
other side, with the utmost good nature,
that you have written yourselves down

city OF Washington (Applause on the
Democratic side aud laughter.)
"You present bin to make appropria-
tions fer the Distr rict OF Columbia. 1t is

friends ON your side earnestly assaH it.
You amend it, and / denbt whether any

OF the House vote it down Then, by
little effort of the leaders on your side, by
little stirring around the edges
and lobbies, and by the promise;
Ii you will vote against this motion 10
lay the motion to reconsider on the table

will reeommit it and the committee viii

MR.. GROSVENoR'S REPLY.
Mr.. Grosvenor: The difference between
this side of the House and that side is thai
this side of The House is capable of rectify-
ing any mistak kes that we ma = make while
that side of the House is not. tAppiause on
the Republican Side.)
THAT side of the House passed tariff
bill on one occasion and it came back here
with GA amendments. 644 mistakes, 644
blunders, and what did that side of the
House do? They did not have the capacity
to extricate themselves out OF the mess, but
plunged hcadIong into it. and the people o.
the United States have punished them ant
will continue 10 punish them for their in

Republican side.)
Mr. Cannon: First, in answer to tn
leather and prunella which proceeds from
the gentleman from Georgia. Mr.. Crisp
let me say that substantially this bill whicl

gress. while that gentleman had the homo
to be Speaker, by a substantially sOn
Democratic vote, while as to this bil
which, repeat, is in substance the sam
as the bill then passed, there is almos
a solid Democratic vote against it. lie

was reported to the House with the entir
approval of the minority OF the committee
''It has been developed here for thre
four days that the House of Representative
upon both sides, if we can judge from tn
votes, has not been satisfied with a POI

if the House is not satisfied, it recommit
the bill to an organ of the House, a con
mittee of its own creation, with instrut
