cattle on the farm the farmer has a

a lively controversy in the senate to-
day An attempt had been made be
fore to Increase the printing commit
tee. of which Moody is chairman, from
three to five. but Moody prevented it.
The matter was brought up again, an
amendment being brought in by the
rules committee adding two members
TO the printing committee
Macbeth referred to statements made
previously by Moody, claiming he had
reflected on the honesty of senators.
Proceeding. Macbeth said;
The gentleman said. in effect that
the printing had heretofore been given
out at extravagant prices TO pay cleo
ton debts. and that any increase IN the
committee would increase the poslbil-
ity of further leakage. l desire to say
1 consider that an insult to this body.
The senate should act at once and
maintain its dignity
Il had not desired to impUgn the
motives of any man on this floor, re
spOnded Moody, but I certainly shall
claim the right TO impugn the motives
of senators who reflect on the honesty
of mine. 1 shall consider any increase
Of my committee under all the clrcum-
stances. an insult and shall hold as my
enemy every man who votes for such
increase. and will mark him to the
end Of the session"
Macbeth shot back that he did not
consider it especially an honor to be
counted among MOOdy's friends. 1t
looked suuaIly, but the incident was
closed by making further cOnSidera-
ton of the question a special order for
Monday.
The senate adjourned until Monday
and the house until tomorrow morning
No business of consequence was
transacted in either body.
