Senators Clash. .

There was d clash between SEN
ators Hoar and Foraker over the ques-
tion asked BY Hoar who wanted to
know why Smith avoided practicing
what he held to be a divine command.
The witness replied because a more
recent manifesto stopped the prac-
tice. Hoar persisted that according
to the witness own statements the
practice had not been stoppesi. and
Foraker interrupted that the witness
had gone over this fifty times and
he could see no purpose Of this con-
tinued questioning. Hoar resented the
interruption. and the two senators rose
and faced each other. II looked as II
Il would be a serious clash, when Bev-8
eridge asked permission to ask some
questions. He wanted to know II Mr.
Smith considered he was obeyiDg the
laws in having eleven children from
different mothers since the manifesto.
The witness replied that he had an
swered that before, and that he would
rather take his chances with the law
than abandon his plural family. He
added:
"Polygamy Is not taught in the
church by any officials. The church
has obeyed the laws even II I have
not"

The following speech delivered in
the house of representatives by Hon.
Il. j. Hill, of Connecticut, has been
called the best republican speech Of
the season.
Mr.. Chairman propose to take
SO much of the hour as is necessary
to consider the subject of What de-
mocracy now stands for" and should
like to be permitted to proceed with
out interruption until | have finished
the remarks which have prepared,
and then will with pleasure answer
any question that may be asked.
Mr.. Chairman, it is not one OF the
pleasant features of congressional life
to be compelled to listen from day 70
day, as we have done for. the past
few weeks, to bitter denuneiations Of
the republican party and its policies,
even though uttered by the gifted
leader of reformed and expectant
democracy.
Il was not delight to know upon
the assurance of the gentleman from
Mississippi Mr.. Wiliiams), given ID
all Kindness as he says, that the re
marks of the gentleman from Indiana
upon the Kentucky situation were
disgrace to American civilization and
to American politics.
II is not positive satisfaction e
have it driven into our dull minds ogel
and over again that fiscal policy
adopted by every civilized nation bul
one, and very live subject Of debate
just now by that one, is "a system q
robbery Of the many for the hothous

We are glad, however, to realize
even at this late day, that the teach
ings of Lincoln, Mckinley, and Blaine
have been ruinous to the nations wei
fare, and that the wonderful develop
ment of this country. which Sails
bury and Bismarck attributed to th,
republican system Of protection, ha
been hindered instead OF helped b,
that policy.
And we rejoice to learn, even upol
