debate, ana until the minority has had
+ ample opportunity to consider this sub
sidy bill in all its phases, | will not give
my assent to any agreement for vote. u
Senator Teller indorsed the remarks OF
Senator Jones, and added few sarcas-
tic words for those inclined to raise a
fuss because the right Of debate still
existed i'm the United States Senate.
This does not indicate an early vote on
the bill, even if the Republicans have
nerve enough to keep it before the
Senate at the expense Of all other legis-
lation, as its steering committee has
decided to do.
Senator Galinger made some ugly
charges in support Of his resolution for
a Joint Congressional Committee to
investigate special Pension legislation.
He said that under the present practice
a pension bureau had been established
under the dome of the capitol, and
| pension attorneys, he believed for pays
advised clients that it was easier to get
pensions through Congressional action
than through the pension bureau. lie
called attention to the fact that one
senator had introduced 1872 private
pension bills, and another AS; that the
total Of these bills in this Congress, had
almost reached 5000, and he predicted
that they would be doubled i'm the next
Congress if something were not done to
head Off present practices.
No speech made by Democrat at
this session has attracted more atten-
ton than the appeal of Representative
Lanham, Of Texas, for harmony in the |
democratic party. BY way Of empha.
sizing his willingness to receive with |
open arms those democrats who left |
the regular organization during the
last two national campaigns, he in
serted this verse in his speech:
"Return, o wanderer return,
And seek an injured party's grace;
Forsake the sins that made you mourn,
And drove you from its fond embraced
Come homel Come home!
o prodigal child, come homer
Senator Tillman, in calling attention
to the absence Of quorum in the Sen
ate, during the debate on the Ship
bill, in accordance with the
democratic policy Of insisting on the
presence Of quorum said: 81 want to
give notice that the end of the session
Is less than one month away, and we
have done nothing towards passing
the appropriation bills. Now, if this
wants an extra session
and proposes to obtain one by delaying
by this bill, they can have
me, but | want to say that as long as
his debate lasts, and 1t will last a long
line, / am going to see that the Repub- |
leans will have to listen to it,"
