opinion of the chair stand as the judg-
ment of the committee?
The question being taken. the deci-
sion of the chair was sustained.
The Chairman-The gentleman from

Mr.. Hartman CONFERENCE.-The per-

| territories will not exceed that found in
| the state of New York, where the pres
ident seems TO think all virtue resides.
| The per capita of wealth of the citizens
Of our state exceeds that of any state
in the union save one. Our educational
| facilities are equal to those of any Sec
| ton of the union, and IL some OF the
| patriotism of the people of the West
had been possessed by the president
| and his friends the citizens of this re-
| public would not have been called upon
to witness the national humiliation of
| hauling down the American flag at
| Honolulu. of begging the bankers of
Wall street and Great Britain to save
us from financial ruin. and, under the
| behests of the powers behind the
throne, of denying to the oppressed citi-
zens of Cuba the recognition which the
| dictates of humanity and common
| right demand. (Applause.) II is true
Wall street. where the president gets
| his. Gaughter) 1t is true none of
our citizens have possessed that par
ticular style of patriotism which would
enable them to save, by thrift and
! strict economy, five times as much as
their entire income amounts to, and 1t
Is also true that the patriotism of these
Corrupt and unsafe territories and
undesirable states" have never yet
been able ITO rise to that lofty plane of
supreme wisdom and virtue
The Chairman-The time of the gen.

MIR. Sulzer-I object to the gentle
man from Montana proceeding. He is
out of order
Mr.. Grosvenor-He is not going to
proceed.
The Chairman-The chair has said
that debate is in order. IL any gen.

on the amendment
The question being taken on the
amendment to strike out the last word
OF the proposed substitute. 1t was re-
jected.
Mr.. Grosvenor-Mr. Chairman, I
move to amend by striking out the last
two words. i think. sir, that my friend
from Montana, Mr.. Hartman, overlooks
one very important fact. When we get
on our feet in a deep religious frame of
mind Qaughter) and II is new field;
when we are blowing in virgin SOIL as
it were Qaughter)-
Mr.. SulZer-I raise the point of order
that the gentleman is out of order, be-
cause the other day he said he had no
religion. Gaughter) Having no re-
ligion himself. I submit that he is in
competent to discuss the question of the
religion of any other man.
Mr.. Grosvenor-I never said that
had no religion; but 1 would rather be
without a very large modicum of re-
ligion than without the slightest init
nation of common sense. Gaughter)
Now, Mr.. Chairman, 1 have been so in
terfered with
Mr.. Sulzer-I am sorry for a gentle
man who has neither.
Mr.. Grosvenor-It is always unfortu-
nate when a gentleman is possessed of
such a knowledge of his own failures
that he constantly advertises them to
the public. Gaughter.)
Now, Mr.. Chairman, / have been d.
verted from the serious argument that
/ was about to present Qaughter); and
/ yield the balance of my time TO the
gentleman from Montana.
Mr.. Hartman-And IL is also true
that the patriotism of these corrupt
and unsafe territories and undesirabl
states" has never yet been able to rise
TO that lofty plane OF supreme wisdom
and virtue
Mr.. Erdman-I object to the gentle
man from Ohio yielding his time.
Mr.. Richardson believe IL has
never been done under the five-minute
debate.
The Chairman-The chair thinks il is
often done. The chair recognizes the
right of the gentleman from Ohio to
yield.
Mr.. Hartman-And II is also true that
the patriotism OF these corrupt and
unsafe territories and undesirable
states" has never yet been able 10 rise
to that lofty plane OF supreme wisdom
and virtue which enables those who
claim TO occupy il TO justify the sale Of
