In consequence OF the increased de-
mand for horse flesh as an article Of
food. the HyCl enic Society OF Paris has
urged upon the municipal council the
necessity of providing larger slaugh-
ter house than that at present existing
where animals that have outrun their
usefulness as carriers and haulers may
be Killed and cut up for the butchers.
Only about twenty horses can be killed
and disposed OF daily at the present
slaughter house, and ii is estimated
that a place with killing capacity Of
not less than 80 600 year is neces-
sary to keep up with the demands Of
the Parisians for the meat.

Mr.. DaIzen replied at considerable length 10
Mr.. Hepburn's argument, contendlns thd' the
present rules were an evolution, and had worked
so admirably in facilitating the TRANSACTION ol
business that the Democrats, despite their out
cry against them in the List Congress, had not
dared to modify them materially when they
came back into power in the Lid Congress. he
took occasion to criticise Mr. Hepburn for harp
ing on the subject of the rules, saying safcas-
ticaIly that he had enjoyed the speech OF the
Iowan quite as much he had on former oc-
casons. 1890
This aroused Mr. Hepburn, and he retorted
that if he could change his position with the
same facility that the gentleman from fehn a.
sylvania could he would probably be able 20
get more new material into his speeches..
