Washington, March l9.-The first leg
1slative day CT the House of Rcpresen-
tatVes Of the 1Fifth-flfth Congress gave
every Indication Of an unusual lively
session and also Of an intention to
make record for extraordinarily rapid
disposition Of business. The outbursts
OF partisan rancor in the course of The
DAYS debates, recalled the pamy days
Of the Fifty-flrst and rifty-second Con
gresses, while beside these not uncx-
pected differences Of opinion as to ac-
ton and policy there was i'll concea led
animosity between the two factions OF
the Democratic majority growing out
OF the race for leadership Of that par
ty on the floor.
III todav's proceedings may be taken
as many wise typical of the work OF tho
House the session will take rank with
the most tunultuOuS that have marked
Its history

BATLEY's EXCoRIATIoN.
Mr. Bailey closed the debate for the
opposition He said that four Years ago
presidential election had been held
turning upon the tariff question Con
gress was then called III extraordinary
SESSION 70 deal with the money question.
LaSt year the President tial election turn-
Cd upon the money question and con
sresS was now TO legisin lie upon the tariff
question. 1T seems 10 me- he said. in
view OF these facts that the authorities
are not ready or wilin. to execute thn
DEGREES registered BY the people IN Presi-
dentiaa elections'
speaking for the minority. Mr.. Bailey
said the passage Of the bill would not
pc antaSon!Zed by tilihuster'ng opuos-
tlon Knowing that we cannot pre-
vent its passage, we feel It to be th,,
peSi policy, from our standpoint that
you should pass II speedily. IF il shall
accomplish what YOU claim for 1t the
pcpp;e should not be deprived Of the
benefits that are to flow from It, II II
should not prove TO be what is antici-
pated for It, the sooner 1t WI ne re-
pealed and the people he ralicvcd OF
ITS unjust eSactions. I never was more
confident Of any event Of The future
Than am that this bill shall demon
strate the futiity OF the pi'et2-.,es on
which II Is based. and ! tiiily believe
1hlt you wont live long enough to get
patient nearing from the people on the
absurd proposition that ycu can make
0hefn prosperous by taxing them. CAP
,auseo we challenge you to pass the
DIM because nothing cal, more certainly
prove to the people that you are un-
worthy OF the trust now reposed In you.
