MR.. MAsoN's BREEZY SPEECH.
His Argument Favoring CIOture in
the Senafe

During the little furry of debate in the
Senate Tuesday over the unexpected prop
osltion of Senator Platt of Connecticut
to adopt cloture rule. Senator Mason
gave very interesting and faithful de-
scription of how things are sometimes
not done in the Senate. Among other
things, he said:
AT one end of the Capitol the minority
have no rights that the majority are
bound to respect. important measures
are fixed and the time for voting is fixed.
and thirty minutes are allowed each side
for discussion. The pendulum has not
started to swing at this end of the Capt.
toll The majority have no rights that the
minority are bound to respect. American
shipping and the American COW are
buried in the dry rivers and harbors of
the country. A majority of the Senators.
standing for American shipping and for
the American COW and for the River and
Harbor bill, had no more to say about the
passage of those bills than If they had
been members of the Legislature of Ne
braska or Kansas.
"At the opening of this extraordinary
session ] am simply delighted and pleased
that so distinguished and experienced a
Senator has undertaken the task to finally
put this body in a position where the ma
Jority can govern. This is Government
of majorities. In the most sacred place.
the Supreme Court of the United States,
the opinion of the majority of that august
tribunal becomes the opinion of the court.
1t Is a country of matorities everywhere
except here. Here is a Senate of minori-
ties. We may deceive ourselves at times
owing to Senatorial courtesy.
Il have stood here anxious to get vote
upon A bill. Some distinguished Senator
rises and says that his second cousin on
his wife's side liz taken suddenly i'll with
toothachs in the southeast corner of Alas
ka. and 1t will be necessary for him to ask
to have the bill go over until week from
next summer Senatorial courtesy de-
mands that 1t shall go over and the people
who have been hoping and praying for re-
lief by way OF legislation have TO wait
until his wifes cousin on his fathers side
is relieved from the toothache and the
Senator comes back from that sad and i'm
portant duty Of social and family atten-
ton to his relatives"
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1901-03-07
The Senatorial CIoturc.

The proposed cloture rule presented to
the Senate by Mr.. Plat of Connecticut
has been referred to the Committee on
Rules and at least will sleep in a pigeon
hole until next winter. even if it should be
walked up and trotted out then, which is
doubtful. We are not altogether sorry
that the question was sprung in the pres
ent extraordinary session of the Senate.
The proposition is so full of menace to
what survives of the independence and
liberties of Congress that it is well to
have it formally put before the country.
We have no doubt that when its full in
tent and meaning shall be understood by
the voting masses a popular sentiment
will be created which may be heard from
in the first session of the Fifty-seventh
Congress.
The House of Representatives. under
the personal heel of Mr.. Hanna, is an OBJ
ject lesson teaching what the Senate
would become were it also to surrender
its privileges of reasonable debate and
free speech Every American past his
first manhood can remember when the
popular branch of Congress was full of
initiative, of force and real power. Thirty
years ago it overshadowed the Upper
Rouse IN point OF Importance Iouay us
shorn of all its glories and is nothing
more than a slot machine to register the
despotic will of its master.
We are unwilling to believe that the
American people have yet reached the
stage of political progress at which they
would desire to endow the President, or
his control, with all the powers and func-
lions of legislation to the exclusion of an
elective body of lawmakers. But for prac-
tical purposes cloture in the Senate
would complete the eXtinguishment of
Congress a positive quantity in the
Government and would transfer it-all but
the judicial branch-to the keeping snd
conduct of the Executive. We are fast
drifting toward the Empire. Cloture in
the Senate would land us precipitately
on its shores.

THE BROWN GUN TESTS.
The Powder TrinIs Completed mt the
Sandy Hook Grounds.

NEW YORK March 6-The powder
test of the 10-inch Brown segmental tube
gun was completed at the Sandy Hook
testing grounds today, in the presence of
General Miles, Gen. John NJ. Wilson, Gen.
Thomas ]. Henderson. and Col John |.
Rodgers members of the Army Board
of Ordnance and Fortifications. Capt
Isaac N Newton, the Recorder of the
board, was also present.
Six shots were fired, completing the
quota decided on to use up the $50 pounds
of smokeiess powder on hand for the
test The go shots to be fired according
to stipulations will be fired in a month
or six weeks.
On February 81 the powder test was
begun, but it had to be postponed be-
cause there developed a slight defect in
the welding of the field shield" or outer
wrapping. of the gun tube, after the fir
ing of the first shot. Press of orders at
the better equipped steel plants had COM
PEELED the gun company to have the outer
WrappingS of the gun welded without the
necessary facilities. The work was not
done perfectly for that reason.
According to the reports Of the gun
company the six shots left the gun I'M
strained. A maximum pressure of 81 800
pounds to the square inch was developed,
with a velocity of $500 feet a second. The
officers of the gun company said that no
United States Army gun of that or great
er calibre had ever attained such We
locity before. IL was different with naval
guns Three thousand feet velocity had
been attained from naval guns OF IL
inch calibre.
Al the subsequent est velocity of p
800 feet must be she wn. with n velocity
of 300 feet for the first ten shots after
the first 100 The officers VINO witnessed
the test refused to discuss the gun or
- performances.
