walls, shattering 1t badly and killing

self he believed it to be the duty of con-
gress to give. the country the relief it
demanded. The delegation which had
recently called on the speaker had rep
resented (the American Federation of
Labor) that 100000 people were starving.
Any man who shirked action on any
policy of exdediency was traitor to his
duty.
After he had finished his speech Mr..
Lewis attempted to shift the conduct
of the resolution to Mr.. Bailey by yield
| ing to him the control of the time, but
Mr. Bailey declined to take control and
attacked the resolution in a speech
which was frequently applauded by Re-
publicans.
"I am heartily sick and tired of exhi-
bition to the country of the dissensions
and division that unfortunately exist in
the Democratic party" he began. 1T
would seem that the minority might
without friction unite upon some policy.
When we see our great opponent united
on all great questions sonnet times against
it's judgment, and turn to see our own
side hopelessly divided on a mere ques-
tion of parliamentary procedure, it is a
pitiful sight we present to the country"
He had striven in every way an hon.
orable man could to prevent dissensions,
Mr.. Bailey continued. He related how
the Democrats had fought over the
method of considering sixteen amend
ments to the Indiana appropriation bill
when it had afterward developed the
amendments were of SO little import
ance that there had been a division on
only three of them.
Today the Democrats had quarreled
over the bankruptcy bill.
The senate had passed a good bank
ruptcy bill, SO the Republicans were in
no haste to allow it to be considered.
The Republicans could not refuse to
consider it without rejecting on their
colleagues in the senate. for all of the
eight votes against it there had been cast
by the Democrats. five of them Demo-
Gratis who were opposed to any bank
ruptcy bill. When he had almoet Sc
