Report is Defended.

Mr.. Withers warmly defended the re-
port, and said 1t was the height OF
folly to name conferees from the Finance
Committee and then to reject their re-
port. when that report represents the
highest intelligence of the General As
sembly.
Mr.. Royal sought to interrupt tho gem
tleman from Nansemond, but the latter
declined.
Mr.. Rev opposed the report and sug-
gested that Mr.. Withers was not the
member who should ask the adoption OF
the report inasmuch rs he had never
opposed an appropriation bill. The speak
err said this Legislature would go down
into history as a spendthrlft Legislature.
and that whenever money was to be
taken from the treasury, the gentleman
from Nansemond was always there with
the key to unlock the doors.
Mr.. Churchman spoke again, and
warned tho House that according to tho
words of the chairman of the Finance
Committee, tho treasury had but little
lsurpua after the proposed appropriations:
Mr.. Withers followed, and made warm
renly to Messrs. Rev and Royal He
admitted that he had favored paying de-
cent salaries and had favored reasonable
appropriations. but denied that he had
ever east extravagant votes for appro-

them.
The argument of Mr. Byrd was a
strong one, ana he undertook to reply
to many OF the arguments submitted

Hurrah for the Fourth. for the great jubilation, When quiet is sent in disgrace to the rear: The day we rise up and sing out as a To let the world know we are glad we are here. We couldn't do justice. fear. on the To all of the feelings that surge in our breast, For custom has placed on the cracker its fiat. And youthful America tends to the rest We let down the bars. and our feelings run riot: With shouting and shooting all voids we must fill. We've grown so accustomed to noise for a diet We wouldn't know how. I'm afraid. to be still We humbled the British. we're free to confess it: Of course we forgive them. but it is a fact. The record is written. and who would suppress it Or say that it wasn't glorious act? Our joy is supreme. and we have to ex- press 1t. And how can we do it except by a noise? You see an old man, and you never would guess 1t. But he has grown young and is one of the boys. ... .... Then shoot or the cracker and send up the rocket And turn the boys loose for a season Insane. You may as well let them; there's no way to block 1t, For would 1t be Fourth if the sparks didn't rain?
