Explaining the new rules. Henry as
serted that they were a fulfi!lment OF
the democratic promise tina, the House
should be restored to its ancient place
as really representative body" He
declared that the present rules, practi-
cally the same as those in force during
the esd Congress, were cminently fair.
Mr.. Mann then offered as subst-
tute a resolution to adopt the rules of
the last session, with a few moditica-
tons. The substitute provid ID that the
rules should only apply during the
extra session and that at the beginning
OF the regular session next December
the question should again be open. In
the meanwhile the rules committee was
authorized to investigate the rules and
and report to Congress.
Mr.. Dalzell immediately attacked
them Holman amendment to the
rules OF the SD Congress, as resusci.
tated and embodied in the new rules.
This provision provides that appropri,
alton bills shall not contain ne% legis'
lation and shall not be subject to
amendment except as to matter ger
name to the paragraph sought to be

amendments shall constitute a change
whereby the government viii save;

practically made unnecessary to have
appropriations. He cited number o

rule during the sd Congress declaring

AN address to the Democrats OF
Virginia" is published in today's Ga
zette. The writers of the paper make
a feeble attempt TO arraign the present
leaders OF the democratic party. the
basis OF which! IS hard to find after q
careful reading OF the document. A
number Of signatures are appended,
most OF whom are Of men heretofore to
fame unknown. The word ring"
occurs many times in the paper-in
fact, that seems to be The main asset.
This word is invariably used by people
who fnd themselves in the minority in
political battles. But little comment is
needed. 1t may be observed. however,
that people engaged il bringing about
divisions in their party are on the verge
OF becoming boilers when things fail to
come their way.
