heard anybody" he continued, "denounce the
Senator from Rhode Island, nor have 1 heard
one word of vituperation" Speaking IN COM
plimentary terms of Mr.. Aldrich ne called LOT
any evidence of denunciation of him from the
Record.
Mr. Money said Mr. Root had delivered a lect-
ure TO the Senate when he has got fairly
warm in his seat he will not indulge himself on
this subject he said. He will see how useless
# is to Go that. and his course is the result OF
being a new member. He will see how unneces-
sary it is He will see how unfortunate it is for
g new Senator TO come here and propose doing
things on business methods. hope he will not
drag business methods into this chamber fear
that there has been too much business method
In this bill We do not want men to come here
with those methods. We want them to come
and adopt legislative and Senatorial methods as
the best means of transacting business. Gentle
men should not get SO impatient to correct some
body else who does not agree with them.
I'VE do not want any lectures on our business
here. It does not become any man, however
important he may consider himself 10 come into
q chamber of his peers and talk about such
matters We come here to do as we please. and
the man who comes here to please somebody
else should be Immediately kicked out Of this
chamber by the people at his home"
Mr.. Money said that when the tariff bill
reached conference and stayed there for about
six months then the people might talk about
the talking done it. Ffe referred TO the meas
ure as being in conference until next August
or September, or next year" He said that when
It was finally enacted it would have the name
of Aldrich written all over it. He said that il
any one supposed that this bill could come from
the press and be pushed through the Senate
with business methods he might as well come
what is going on.
IF he objects TO so much speaking" said Mr.
Money, with pointed reference to Mr.. Root Tie
can do less of Il himself
ANOTHER SHARP COLLOQUY.
In addition TO the spirited controversy which
followed MI Roots speech there was another
sharp exchange of personalities just before ad-
5ournment. Mr.. Bailey renewed his request that
an early vote be taken the income tax amend
raents and Mr.. Aldrich replied that he was will
ing this vote should be taken on Monday next
provided vote the tariff bill and all amend
rnents should be had on June L Senator Nelson
objected to fixing q time for voting on the in
come tax question. saying he thought this leg
islation should be considered in a separate bill
He said there was no use continuing this daily
seance between the Texas and Rhode Island
Senators"
What does the Senator mean by 'seance'?'
interrupted Mr. Bailey.
Mr.. Nelson said he made this observation "in
the most Christian spirit but added that he
had noticed a personal conversation on the floor
between Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. Bailey before the
latter submitted his request for q vote.
This aroused Mr.. Bailey's ire, and there was
anger In his voice when he replied. He had al
ways observed, he said. that candid and honest
men were not suspicious Of their fellows and
the converse of this proposition true.
Then the Texas Senator related his conversa-
ton with Mr.. Aldrich He said he had called
Mr.. Aldrich over to tell him that he had heard
that the so-called Republican insurgents" had
entered into agreement not to vote for any
amendment to the tariff bill offered by Demo
cratic Senator Mr.. Bailey added that the
Rhode Island Senator said he had the same in
formation and that il came from one of the in
surgents.'
