Gov PIaisted was at a loss to know

Missouri objected and It went over.A Mr..
Mondell of Wyoming had a similar expert
ence with his bill to extend the time in
which homesteaders on the Shoshone In
dian reservation may make final residence,
Representative Mann Of Illinois in this
instance objecting to its consideration.
Lacey and Clark Agree.
Representative Lacey Of Iowa took a
pronounced position in opposition TO the
adjournment Of congress for the Christ
mas holidays, declaring that lit is idiotic
for the house to adjourn and then jam all
legislation through under whip and spur
during the closing days"
The expression was called out in con-
nection with the discussion OF a resolu-
ton looking to an increase Of the enroll
ing force CT the house.
Mr.. Fitzgerald OF New York had Just
concluded speech in opposition TO the
resolution, in which he had sharply critl-
cised the mistakes In appropriation bills
made at the close Of the last session. Mr..
Lacey declared that owing TO the policy
OF holding the principal work on the ap
preparation bills until the closing days OF
the session. the enrolling clerks had worked
torty-e!ght hours in succession, ana he
contended that under such circumstances
mistakes were to be expected.
Mr. Clark OF Missouri. declared that the
statement made by Mr. Lacey about the
idiocy Of adjourning at holidays was the
most sensible thing he had said for the
last twelve years.
Speaking Of appropriation bills, Mr.. Clark
said he believed IL would be a wise thing
II rule was adopted prohibiting the pas
sage of any appropriation bill later than
FIVE days before the adjournment OF con.
Eress. He thought 1.-THE unseemly Jobs that
creep into appropriation bills during the
closing hours Of congress would be elimin.
ated by such a rule"
Mr.. TRwney OF Minnesota, chairman OF
the committee on appropriations, asked
Mr.. Clark TO specify some Of the "Jobs'
that had gotten into appropriations during
the closing hours.
Well" replied Mr.. Clark. Il will gel
some specific Jobs and bring them in her,
for the gentleman's edifcatlsn and l will
make a speech on the subject. too"
On division, the absence OF a quorum wa,
disclosed, Mr.. Clark leading the agh
against the resolution on the part Of tn,

the completion OF the scheme.
