rate it will soon be impossible to give
away real estate here" When the

are still some people who profess to be-
lieve that the prosperity which ex Gov
O'Ferrall saw more than year ago, hiss
come at last.

n. NJ, the permanent capital Of that
territory. MIR. Hit, chairman of the
foreign affairs committee, reported from
his committee, with the Recommended
ton that it lie on the table, the Lewis
resolution calling upon the President
for the authority under the constitution
under which he negotiated treaty that
will bind the treasury to pay 81, 1000, 00C
to the Hawaiian bondholders. The
democrats manifested o desire to
discuss the report but the question was
not debatable and the vote was taken
by yeas and noes.
The report was adopted and the reso-
luton laid on the table-l43 to 10l.
At this juncture Mr.. Quigg arose to 9
question OF privilege to reply to Mr.
LIQUIDS charge made yesterday during
the controversy over the appropriation
for letter carriers that he (Quigg) stated
what was untrue when he said that the
prospective deficiency was the exact
sum which the appropriation in the
current law was below the estimates Of
of the department.. He said the high.
est authority in matters of this
character was the departmentitself and
he had read letter from the depart
ment in support of bis allegations.
Mr.. Loud, in reply, declared that he
stood by his statement yesterday. No
subterfuge, be said, could disguise the
truth. He appealed from the letter OF
the department. to the printed record OF
the estimates.
Mr.. Tayler, chairman of the commit
tee on elections No. 1, presented the re-.
port of the majority in the contested
election case OF Aldrich vs. Plowmau,
from the fourth Alabama district. The
minority was given until Wednesday
next in which to file the minority re-
port. The House then went into COM
mittee OF the whole and resumed the
consideration of The Indian appropri
alton bill.
Mr.. Hartman got the floor and de-
nounced the republican party for its
position on the financial question. He
ridiculed Secretary Cages dsfinition
of bimetallism In the latter's speech at
Philadelphia on Tuesday. The repub
lican party, he said, foreclosed its right
to use the term bimetallism when the
st. Louis platform was adopted. He
said he knew that many republicans
were opposed to the retirement of the
greenbacks. But" said he, "what
will they DO about it when the banking
and currency committee report the bill

was redoubled when ex-Representative

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 81.
SENATE.

After tranEactiDg some minor busi-
ness the Teller resolution was laid be-
fore the Senate and after considerable
discussion it was agreed that the vote
sh onld be taken tomorrow at o'clock,
the Senate to meet at 10 o'clock and
the last four hours of debate to be under
the fifteen minute rule.
After this agreement had been reach
ed MIR. Daniel resumed his speech be-
gun last evening. He said ever since
the passage of the resolution score oil
wears ago it had stood as law, uncha,-
l:nged and unassailed. Mr.. Daniel
then enumerated the great men who
supported the resolution in 1878 begin
n ng with the distinguished author, Stan
Icy Matthews. and concluding win the
present President of the United States.
He quoted from speech delivered by
Mr.. Mckinley, at Toledo, in 1890, in
which he sharply criticised President
Cleveland for dishonoring one of the
precious metals, discrediliDg silver and
enhancing the price of gold. "Was Mr.
Mckinley palming of namby PANTY
nonsense upon the country, as the Sen
ator from Connecticut (Plattl would
have us believe? asked MIR. Daniel.
Mr.. Daniel read letter written by
former Senator, now Secretary of State,
John Sherman, in which be denounced
as repudiationist and extortioner one
who demands money ia liquidation of
an obligation more valuable than he
gave for it. He also quoted Oliver z.
Morton as declaring it TO be a "foul
injustice" upon the country to pay the
government bondholders who secured
the bulk of the bonds for about GO cents
on the dollar in better money than they
paid for them.
Ia conclusion Mr.. Daniel said SIN
every republic there must be party OF
the people. The democracy is that
party in this country. 1t has made
mistakes but it has suffered for them
and made ample compensation. 1t has
accomplished great achievements and
now approaching its centennial, it
stands before the people rs the greatest
champion of their rights. The party of
Jefferson and Jackson increases its
cause, its ranks close up, carrying that
standard of the stars, each star con-
tributing some splendid beam. 1t will
go on to the end making the contest of
the people for the right"
