HARTMAN BITTER.
Montana Representative Has a Fling
at Speaker Reed.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The house in
committee of the whole yesterday re-
| sumed consideration of the Indian ap-
preparation bill.
Mr. Hartman, (SiI. Rep) Montana,
got the floor on a proforma amendment
and for Is minutes he held the attention
of the house in a speech denouncing
the Republican party for its position on
the financial question. He ridiculed
Secretary Cages definition of binetai-
ism in the latter's speech at PhiIade1-
phia on Tuesday The Republican par
ty he said, forecIosed its right to use
the term bimetallism when the st.
Louis platform was adopted. The
whole drift of the purpose and intent of
this administration had been avoWed
and proclaimed by Secretary Gage be-
fore the banking committee; it was to
1rreVocably commit the government to
the gold standard.
Mr.. Hartman said that he knew that
many Republicans were opposed to the
retirement OF the greepbackS. But
said he, what will they do about it
when the banking and currency COM
mittee report the bill to retire the
ture by the past there is little doubt of
the result. This is no longer a house of
representatives" he cried in stentorian
tones. 1t is house of registers-it is
house to register the will of those
who control it,
Mr.. Hartman proceeded to give an
account of a chapter of history, a mis-
cradle scene" he denominated it, which
occurred in 1894, when the bond bill was
before the house. THE bilI,' he said,
never had the endorsement of Repub-
lican platform or a Republican caucus.
I was then" said he, zone of little
band of rebels solemnly pledged to vote
against the bill. Just before the vote
was taken we counted noses and num-
bered Y. I rejoiced that the bill was
beaten. The cloak rooms were filed
with the mutterings of rebellion
against the domination of those in con-
troll Then suddenly the party whip be
gan to crack and [ saw the slaves file
out of the cloak room one after another
and vote for the bill, their consciences
condemned. In this house, he contin-
ued, I'VE should change the oath. In
stead of taking an oath to support, pro-
tect and defend the constitution of the
United States and perform our duties to
the best of our ability we should at the
opening of each session, swear to sup
port, protect and defend the constitu-
tion provided we can obtain the consent
of the leading nations of the earth and
to perform our duties if the speaker
will permit US to do so.''

ROTTEN ssREPUBLICS."
Tncapacity for Self Government in
Central America Again Apparent.

New York, Jan. 28.-A special to the
Herald from Managua, Nicaragua, says
that advices just received in that city
from San Salvador state that a revolu
tion in Salvador is imminent. So far as
can be learned the cause of the discon-
tent which threatens to break forth in
open rebellion is the serious financial
and political condition in Salvador, com
bined with the alleged gross misrule of
the government In addition to these
conditions the relations of Guatemala
and Salvador are considerably strained
now, and this adds to the excitement in
Salvador.
Four large banks in Salvador have
failed. The only prominent bank there
now, which is safe, is the Bank of Lon
don.
