must be conceded by friend and foe
alike that he had the courage of his
/ convictions and made his charges
| where there was opportunity TO an
swer them. And he said it might be
| that the ex-governor would have an
/ tons of the gentleman from Ohio for
he seemed to have yet the support of
a large and enthusiastic influence in
his state and he believed in the coun-
try.
Mr.. Dearmond then devoted himself
to topic having some relation TO the
| bll, the bulletin issued by the depart
l ment of agriculture, showing as he said
/ the llliteracy and poverty of those
/ states which had the temerity to de-
I clare their desire to see the restora-
/ ton of the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 10 to l. This he declared to
be SANDER upon that part of the
people whom the secretary of agricul-
ture in the administration of his de-
partment was supposed to particularly
represent.
Mr.. w A. Stone. CRep. Pa.).-The
gentleman understands that the Re
publicans are not responsible for the
officials?
Mr.. Dearmond-Oh, certainly. And
can thoroughly appreciate the gratifi-
cation you must feel over that fact.
it was said of a great secretary: THE
secretary stood alone; modern degen
eracy has not reached him." Now, the
language was different: The secre-
tary stands alone; modern degeneracy
has not passed him." GaughteT. He
appealed to the Republicans to find a
place for him after this administra-
ton had ended. He understood, of
course, that he could not be kept in
his present place. In former times,
royal courts comprised such an indi-
Vidual, but there was no court now in
which to place him. But" he asked,
cant you put him on a shelf in the
museum labelled as a curiosity of mod
ern political life and modern political
administration"
Mr.. Grosvenor-I understand the gen.
tleman to criticize my remarks, partly
at least, on the ground that Governor
Altgeld would have no opportunity to
reply. May l ask what arrangements
the gentleman has made for the sec
rotary of agriculture to respond to this
attack?
Mr.. Dearmond-I cannot imagine. Mr..
Speaker, but that the gentleman from
Ohio who speaks here at least once
every day, and often several times, will
respond for him. Haughter.)
Mr.. DearmOnd then, to the great
of the house. described Sec
rotary Morton as a man who was al
ways writing when he was not talk
talking when he was not
and always doing both when
not thinking and concluded with the
following parody on Gray's lines:
Full many a within of purest ray serene, |
The dark. unfathomed dreams of Nor
ton bear:
Full many wheel is formed to whir I'M
seen,
And waste its heetness meath ]. sterl-
ing's hair.
Mr.. Wadsworth then stated that the /
pending bill carried a total appropria-
lion of S3,152, 752, a net decrease of $102,- |
80 from the appropriations from the |
current year. In the appropriation for
he weather bureau, there was a de-
,rease of 1880 in the item of salaries,
md a total decrease of $4,290 in the
same item for the entire department
aside from the bureau of animal in
iustry. For that bureau an increase OF
% 600 was provided in order to extend
he inspection of meat provided for in
he act of March 3. 1891, to numerous
Lbattoirs and packing housss which
AVE requested such Inspection and
which have not up to the present time
eceived it.
The committee then rose.
At $40. on motion of Mr.. Payne,
Rep. n. ", the house adjourned.
