For Joy of one fair thought that dwells

A summer hillaide. rising by theea,
Made glad with bloom and song-bird's voice-

CAN CLEVELAND BE
NOMINATED?
SE-
'Oath's" Washington Letter to the
Cin-
cinnati Enquirerv
Last night I was talking to a New
York City politician of a good deal
of, personal knowledge. I ; said to
this person: "What do you think
about Cleveland's Presidency up to
this time ?" ".
'I don't see how he can be nomi
nated again. He certainly cannot
li iue uemocrais or. me vesi ana
South . have any manliness. I If they
are going to sit at the feet of the
State of JNew York and become its
snbiects. they may. eo in for him.
On the other hand, I think that
Cleveland has brought enoaarh nub-
lie support to ine uemocrauo party
to; insure our carrying the country
in 1888 with whomsoever we may
nominate.-r Morrison may be the
candidate. I don't think ha will be.
Hill ia a local politician in New
York State, shrewd enough to get at
public opinion, but his trimming be
tween Cleveland and bis followers
will not do him any good, and , will
1 . . . 1 T-V
toward the West for a candidate.
We have long desired to get rid of
New York Presidential candidates
who have led us repeatedly to defeat,
ana njw nave n?a us nan way into
the Republican party."
A New York - Democratic Repre
sentative is thus represented as talk
ing in a, special from Washington of
a recent date: 1
"Mr. Cleveland could not be renom-
in a tea oy any hook or crooic, ana me
friends who are laying the pipes for
" him are very foolish. It is not solely
on account ofh is civil service ideas,
either. Thl general politics of Mr.
Cleveland the whole plan of the
business operations are in' conflict
. with that of the three sections of the
country." -
."Then he doesn't please any con
siderable element of bis party East,
West or South ?"
;"No," said he, "and the fact crops
.'reform ideas and his recognition of
the Mugwumps are very offensive to'
the old and the new elements of the
party. It must have long ago been
plain to almost any one that the gen
eral atmosphere of the Democratic
party is very different from that of
the Republican party. Now a one
- eyed man can see that the only ma--terial
changes made in the operations
of; , the administration eo far have
been worked by members of the Cab
inet, and evidently without the ad
vice of the President. Mr. Cleve
land has more faith in Republicans
.and the disaffected Republicans than
he has in tba old line members of his
own party. He believes the mug
wumps hold the balance of power,
and that to please them is enough.
Then be has the idea that be will re
ceive the support of a large propor
tion of Republicans if he keepa the
landmarks in view."
NEED OF
TARIFF
REFORM.
Boston Post, Dem.
The tariff needs revision, and it is
the duty of the Democratic House of
Representatives to . undertake the
task. Two thirds or more of the
majority of the lower branch of Con
gress were chosen as revenue reform
ers. Mr. Carlisle was chosen Speaker
because he represents the revenue
reform element: of the party. The
reform of taxation is more important
than the silver question, and has been
pending longer.; Our present tariff
law is weighing heavily on the poor
est people, and; the evil should be
remedied. Not! to make an effort to
reduce tariff taxation would be an
act of cowardice on the partrof the
Speaker and of i Mr. Morrison, both
of whom have the courage of their
convictions. We have said that the
tariff needs revision. . The protec
tionists announeed, through their
tariff commission three years ag"o,
that the average rate of duty onght
to be reduced 25 per cent. And
yet, according to the latest figures of
the Bureau of Statistics, the ; averge
duty on cotton cloth is 44 per cent.,
whereas eighteen months ago it was
38.3 per cent. Farmers' chains pay
a duty of from 46. to 59 per cent.;
the duty on wire rope runs up as
i high as 78 ; per cent. The cotton
j goods which are worn by people of
small meanspay a duty .of 50 per
cent., while all-wool dress goods,
which make the best wear of the
same people, gay 77.50 per cent. The
cheapest blankets pay 71 per cent.,
and the costliest 67 per cent. A
rich man pays a duty of 46 per cent,
on his AxminBter ' carpet, and his
-clerk pays duty of ,60 per cent, on
his tapestry. The man who must
buy ready-made clothing pays a duty
of 77 per cent., while the rich man,
who has his clothes made to order,
pays 67 oer cent, dutv on the fine
cloth which his tailor uses. .The
cheapest-knit goods pay 69.44 per
cent., and the most expensive 58.48
per cent. Cheap . flannels pay 77.36
per cent., and icostly flannels 5 per
cent. less. The shawl, which the
poor woman wears to markets pays a
duty of 86.23 per cent., And the
- ehawl in which the rich woman wraps
, nerself as she rides in her carriage
pays 57 per cent. ;' These are few
of the most recent figures concerning
the tariff la 1- . . .'

Resolution Concerning Civil Service
and Redemption of Bonds Debate on
the Electoral Count Bill Questions
of Personal PrlvileKe Bills Id tro
dneed In the House, Ax.
- IBy Telegraph to the Morning Star.l '
. SENATE. : :
Washih8TO, Feb. 1. The Chair laid
before the Senate a letter from the Secre
tary of War transmitting the report on the
militia forces of the United States. Also,
a letter from the same Secretary transmit
ting a communication Trom the President
of the Board of Commissioners of the Sol
diers' Home, recommending that authority
be given: by Congress for disposition by
the Commissioners of the effects of tne
deceased inmates of the Home. It was
appropriately referred. ; ' - -'- j -
Mr. Call submitted a resolution which,
at his request, was laid over for the present,
directing the Committeeo on Military Affairs
to report a bill providing that ex-Union
soldiers shall not be required to submit to
civil service examination before appoint
ment to any position embraced in the civil
service law. Mr. Call said he introduced
this bill because a distinguished ex-Union
officer now residing; in Florida ' having
applied for a subordinate position in the
Pension Bureau, found on looking over
the civil service directions for that bureau
that be would be unable to comply with
them. It seemed to MrJ Call that a man
who had the ability and intelligence to be
come a distinguished officer in the Union
army had ability and intelligence enough
to fill a. subordinate place in the Peosion
Bureau. .
Th3 . resolution offered by!,Mr. Ingalls
was agreed to, directing the Secretary of
the Treasury to inform the Senate what
proportion of bonds called "for redemption
on March 1st is held by National banks as
a basis of circulation.
This information wasgiven to the pub
lic by the Treasury Department to-day,
about the same time Mr. Ingalls' resolution
was offered. It is po dished elsewhere.
At 2 o'clock' the Electoral Count dill
came - up and Mr. Hoar moved an amend
ment of which, he . had previously given
notice. It inserts in the fourth, section of
the bill a clause providing that in case of
more than one return or paper purporting
to be a return, from a State, if there shall
have been ao determination of the question
in the State, then those votes only shall be
counted which appear to have been cast by
electors whose names appear on .the lists
certified by the Executive of the State in
accordance with the provisions of section
136 of the Revised Statutes, aa amended by
this bill; but, incase of a vacancy in the
board of electors so certified, then by per
sons so appointed to fill such vacancy in
the mode provided by the laws of States;
but if there be no such list, or if there be
more than one such list purporting to
be so certified, then those votes, and those
only. Shall be counted, which the two
houses acting separately shall concurrently
decide iq be lawful votes of legally ap
pointed electors of such : State. It also
adds to the bill an additional section mak
ing it the duty of the Executive of each
Stale to cause three lists of names of elec
tors in his State' to be made and certified
under the great seal of the State, and to ha.
delivered to the' electors on or before the
day on which tbey are required to meet.
Mr. Hoar supported bis amendment in a
long speech, broken frequently by debates
with Senators who interrupted with - ques
tions and points, against Mr. Hoar's argu
ment. Mr. Sherman was prominent in
these discussions, and considerable amuse
ment was afforded by the warmth and
eagerness with which these two met and
answered each' other, sometimes before
their points had been fully Btated. Messrs..
Maxey, Ingslle. Logan and George took
part in the discussion.
Mr. Evarls obtained the floor, but gave
way for a motion for an executive session,
which was carried. Before the doors were
closed Mr. Allison offered a resolution,
which was agreed to, directing the Secre
tary of the Senate to - pay the funeral ex
penses of the late Vice-President.
In the course; of the day's proceedings
an understanding was arrived at that the
Dakota bill, on which Mr. Logan has the
floor, should betaken up immediately after
the disposal' ofj the Electoral Count bill.
The Senate galleries were crowded all day,
the audience at; first apparently anticinat-
ing warm talk from Logan on the Dakota
Oiii. vv nen that measure went over, how
ever, debate on the Electoral Count bill
bad already -become sufficiently warm to
interest the galleries.
At o:45 tne doors were reopened and tne
Senate adjourned;
HOUSE OF i REPRESENTATIVES. ;
In his opening prayer the Chaplain said :
We commend ;to Thy infinite pity and
SiS ET&2
desolate because twice within a fortnight
aeatn nam entered in. ibis tune, when
earthly. State and human sympathy avail
8qjittle. May the spirit of the living God
come to cheer and comfort them."
Mr. Han back, of Kansas, rising to a
question of perBonal privilege, sent to the
clerk's desk to have read an editorial from
yesterday's New York World entitled 'The
Telephone Scandal," but the reading was
immediately interrupted by Mr. Brecken
ridee, of Arkansas, with a point of order:
that there was . nothing in the editorial
which reflected upon the gentleman from
Kansas in bis representative capacity.
The Speaker ruled that unless the ar
ticle reflected in some way on ; the gentle
man from Kansas in bis representative
capacity, there could be no question of
privilege involved.
Mr. Hanback could not say the article
was personal to himself, and in order to
get around the difficulty offered the follow
ing resolution:? ? ..
"Resolved. That the Committee on Ex
penditures in the Department of Justice be
empowered to make full inquiry into any
expenditure on the part of the Government
relative to the rights of the Bell and Pan
Electric Telephone Companies and for the
purpose of this; investigation and to the end
that people may be fully advised, the com
mittee is granted the right to send for per
sons and papers; ail expenses to be audited
and accounted from approved vouchers,
and when so approved to be paid out of
any money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated."" ;
The Speaker1 could not see that the reso
lution involved a question of privilege. It
was merely a resolution of inquiry.
Another short debate ensued over this
ruling, in the course of which Mr. Randall,
of Pennsylvania, said that while he did not
believe that the House had anything to do
with the subiect matter as presented, be
was opposed to throwing any obstruction
in the way of ithe fullest investigation on
any matter which pertained to the good
government or the United States.
After a little more wrangling on the
subject, Mr. j Morrison of Ills , cut the
gordian knot by asking unanimous consent
that the resolution be immediately consid
ered. Mr. Beach of N. Y.f showed a dis
position to object, but was prevailed upon
bv Mr. Robertson of Ky. to give his con-;
sent; and the resolution was adopted with
out dissent. I
Mr. Hanback was still dissatisfied, and
endeavored under cover of a question of
personal nrivileee. to read the newspaper
article as at first, but he was ruled out of
order upon obiection from several mem
bers, and as he declined to appeal from the
Speaker s decision he waa-obligea to aesisi.
; At this moment Mr. Brady of Va. joined
with Mr. Hanback in demanding recogni
tion from the Sneaker, and having obtained
it, stated that he rose to a question of
personal privilege. He had been renectea
unon its a member of the' House and as a
committee member.. He had also been reflec
ted upon by a gentleman on the floor of the
House, and be now rose ana SBxeu unani
mous consent that he might be . accorded
the nrivileire of a personal explanation,
Messrs. Bragg of Wis., and Hammond of
Ga., objected and the matter was dropped.
Under the call of States the following
hills were introduced and referred
By Mr. Herbert of Alar, to provide for an
n.cEiitnnt Rfwretftrv of the Naw. '
By Mr. Blount of Ga., to enforce obliga
tions to carry U. S. mails. Also, to extend
the system for the immediate delivery of
lot tors ! . H " -
; Mr. Bland, of Mo., offered for reference

Committee, a resolution calling ' on - the
Secretary of the Treasury tor information
a tn whnt.hnr nnv nrrancement was effected
by the Treasury Department with-the
Clearing House Committee of New: York
to prevent circulation of silver, and if so by
what nnthnrit of law that department as-
sumes to virtually suspend the coinage of
silver by hoarding money in the Treasury.
It also calls for information ' as to the
amount of silver dollars in the Treasury,
unrepresented by outstanding certificates
on the. 4th of March, and what is the
amount to-day; also, what amount of in
terest bearing debt is now subiect to call.
-and what policy - is to b8 pursued in the

dues? ' . : . .- .' . ..
Mr. Brumm. of Penh.', to provide for
further coinage of the Btandard dollar. Al
so, to simplify the . currency, to strengthen
tne com reserve, to prevent contraction
and to provide for the general increase of.
circulation. ; . -. '
When the call of States was completed.
several motions to adjourn were made on
tne KepuDUcan side, but tbey were . au
voted down; and Mr. Mateon, of Ind.,
having secured the floor, moved to sus
pend the rules and put upon passage the bill
increasing: the - pensions ot soldiers - and
widows from $3 to $12, with, an amend
ment providing the act shall apply only to
widows who were married to deceased sol
diers prior to its passage, and to those who
may nereafter marry prior to or during the
service of the soldier. -
Mr.. Browne, of Indiana, inquired
whether the effect of the passage of . the
bill under a suspension of the rules, would
be to put to one side the amendment which ;
was pending to the bill repealing the limi-
tauon on tne arrears or tne pension act;
and on receiving -an affirmative reply J
moved that the House adjourn. The mo-"
tion was lost 98 to 17L 5 -
Mr. Matson bneflv stated that the object
in bringing up the bill at this time was
that it should have a chance to be consid
ered on its merits. . '.'
The motion to suspend the rules and pass
the bill was agreed to yeas 198; nays 66
and the House at 5 o'clock adjourned. ,
' . SENATE. '.
WashdigtOn, Feb. 2. Among the meas
ures favorably reported from committees
was a joint resolution bv Mr. Blair, from
the Committee on Woman Suffrage, : pro
viding for a constitutional amendment ex
tending the right of suffrage to women. -
Mr. Uockreu stated that this report waa
not the unanimous judgment Of the com
mittee, and that the minority, reserved tbe
right to present a written report in opposi
tion to the measure Calendar. ,
Mr. Riddleberger offered the following
resolution: ; . . .
Resolved. -That it is the sense of the Sen
ate that the Executive of the United States
is not restricted by constitutional law in re
moving or suspending appointees; that tne
Senate has no right to require that reasons
shall be given for such removals or sus
pensions; that it is the right of the Senate
to call for any paper relating to tne con
duct of 'removed or suspended appointees,
or to tbe qualification and fitness of ail per
sons whose names are presented to the Sen
ate for confirmation or rejection; and it is
the duty of tbe Executive to comply witb
all demands for the same.
Ia offering the resolution Mr. Riddle-
berger said his purpose was simply to bring
the subject up in open debate. It did not
involve any so-caned nign prerogative or
the Senate when it should go into secret or
executive session, but only that the abstract
question, as to whether the Executive could
be called on or required to give reasons ioi
removals. :. -
Mr. Riddleberger asked for the immediate
consideration of the resolution.
Mr. Cockrell objected. x .; ,
Mr. Push said he would submit,, either
to-day or to-morrow, a substitute for Mr.
Riddleberger s resolution.
The matter then went over.
Mr. Standford offered a concurrent reso
lution, which was agreed to, providing for
investigation by the Committees on .Public
Buildings, of both houses of Congress, into
the charges made in 1853, and now being
renewed, against tne ' official conduct of
Samuel Strong, during his superintendeacy
of Public Buildings. i ' ,
Mr. Push submitted bis substitute for
the Riddleberger resolution, and asked that
it be presented and lie over till to-morrow.
Mr. Pugh'a substitute is as follows:
1st. That Executive power is expressly
Vested by the constitution in the President
of tbe United States, so that he shall take
care that the laws are faithfully exeented.
2nd. That tbe power of appointment to
Federal office is an" Executive power, to be
exercised by the President under limitation
in the constitution that he shall nominate,
and by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate shall appoint.
3rd. That the power of removal or sus
pension from the powers and duties of a
Federal office is also an executive power,
vested exclusively in the President,witbout
any such limitation in the constitution as
is imposed thereby on the power of ap
pointment, and for its exercise he is respon
sible, alone to- the people and not to the
Senate. -
4th. That the right of the President to
make nominations to to the Senate, and of
the Senate to. advise and consent thereto,
are each separate and independent rights,
to be exercised by the President and Senate
respectively, and separately, and indepen
dently within their absolute discretion; but
in relation to tbe person or persons so no
minated the Senate may request informa-
mation of tbe President affecting tbe cba
racter or Qualifications of those as to whose
appointment he aaks the advice and con
sent of the Senate.
5th. That when the President makes
nominations to the Senate of persons to be
appointed by him to exercise the powers
and duties of Federal officers who have
been removed - or L suspended by him, no
law, public duty or public policy requires
that he shall send or communicate to the
Senate any cause, reason or information
within his own knowledge or contained in
anv letters, petitions, papers or documents
addressed to him or any member of his
Cabinet, or in possession of eitber and re
lating to the subject of removals or sus
pensions, or containing charges, causes, or
reasons and proof thereof, for making such
removals or suspensions; and no law,
public duty or public policy, requires or
authorizes the Senate to call for such in
formation existing in any such form from
the President or any member of his Cabi
net, to enable tbe Senate to review or ques
tion tne action of tbe f resident in exer
cising his executive,- discretionary and
exclusive power of removing or suspending
Federal officers from tbe powers and duties
of their offices, or to put the President on
trial by tbe Senate, oi to enforce accounta
bility to the Senate for anything he may
have done in the exercise of such jurisdic
tion. : -V ,.;
6th. That to obtain information consid
ered by either House of Congress as useful
in - passing necessary, and proper laws,
either House of Congress may request tbe
President, if not deemed by him incompat
ible with tbe public interest, to give any
information within his knowledge, or con
tained in any public document or records
on file or in the lawful custody of any of
the departments, and relating to the ad
ministration of any public office, or the
official conduct or acts affecting the official
conduct or duties of any public offi
cer; but for tbe Senate to make such
request of the President, or to direct any
member of his Cabinet to transmit to the
Senate any information or any public
documents or papers, in open or executive
session, to enable the Senate, In open or
executive session, to review the propnety
or reason.' or the information upon which
he acted, or may have acted, in making
removals or suspensions, would be an at
tempt to obtain such information by false
pretences and for uses and purposes net
authorized or justified by any law or public
policy of the United States, and should the
President grant such request or require any
member of his Cabinet to obey such direc
tion from the Senate, when deemed by him.
to be made for such unjustifiable and un
lawful uses and purposes, would be to re
cognize and encourage an improper practice
and an innovation upon his exclusive and
independent rights, powers and duties as
President of the United States. - -
Mr. Hoar inquired whether the request
to print included the printing ot a stump
speech in tbe belly of the resolution ? "
Mr. Ingalls gave notice that when the
original and substitute resolutions should
come up to-morrow, he would move to re-
. . . . . Tfc! il
fer mem - to nine uommiuee on x-nvuegeH
and Elections for further consideration.
The resolution, according to the request,
was laid over till to morrow.
The Electoral Count bill then came up
and Mr. Evarts took the floor. He favored
the recommittal of the bill to the eommit-
tee. , :" : ' . ' j ;
Mr Call, while deeming the bill a good
one in some respects, deemed it defective
in others, and proposed an amendment to
the effect that in the case of the non con
currence o? the two hou8es, and in case
anrh nnn concurrence fand conseauent fail
ure to count the vote of a State) resulted in-
taking away the majority requirea oy tne
Constitution, or when by not. counting the
vote nf a State an election should be had of
a person different from the person, who
would Deflected if the vote were counted;
that in these two emergencies, it should be
Wi.rod that thfir was no election, and
that the House of Representatives should
make an election as required by the Const U
Mr. Hoar .opposed recommittal. ", " ,.
Mr. Wilson opposed the bill.' '
Mr. Evarts submitted as -an amendment.
that it should be the duty tif the Executive
of each State, as soon as practicable after
the final ascertainment of the appointment of
electors in such State, to communicate un
der the seal of the State to the Secretary of
State of the.- United States 'a certificate
showing the result of such ascertainment,
setting forth the names of the electors and
other particulars, and to deliver to the
electors of such State a similar certificate
in triplicate; such certificate to be trans
mitted by the electors with the result of
their own action. . . -J. ' .' -'
Mr. Edmunds oppoied the motion to
recommit; but it struck aim that Mr. Evarts
suggested an amendment that embodied,
an extremely " valuable idea. . It could be
discussed in the Senate, however, as well
as in tbe committee. . . ,-
Mr. Saulsbury favored recommittal. .
Mr. George had listened carefully to the
arguments urged against Mr. Sherman's
amendment, but had not been shaken in
the -belief that the vote of the two houses,
acting as a joint body,, constituted in the
last resort the best way out of the difficulty.
The Constitution intended that the vote of
a State should be counted and did not con
template rejection of tbe vote, simply be
cause of -a difference between the two
houses.. He hoped thebill would be re-:
committed. ' ' i, .-. V
After, further debate the motion tore-
commit Was brought to a vote and resulted
yeas 30, nays 22. The ! affirmative vote
being about, equally divided between Re
publicans - and Democrats. All the pro
posed amendments went with the bill. -
The Dakota bill was placed before the
Senate and Mr. Logan obtained the floor
on it, bul.gave way for a motion to go into
executive session. ' ' : , . .-.
At 3.43 p. m.' the Senate went into .ex
ecutive session, and at 5 85 - tbe doora were
reopened and the Senate adjourned. . .-

Washington, Feb. 1 3. Among the
measures reported favorably from com
mittees was a resolution by Mr. Frye, re
ported, as he believed "with unanimity
from the Committee on Foreign Relations,,
declaring it to be the opinion of the 8enato
that Congress ought not to provide for a
Joint Commission of Great Britain and the.
United States, in relation to the fisheries.
Placed on the calendar. -1
The Chair then placed before the Senate
the resolution submitted .yesterday by Mr.
Riddleberger, and the substitute for it sub
mitted by Mr. fuEb, relating to tbe rela
tions between the President and tbe Senate
in regard to information and papers affect
ing government . officers suspended or
appointed. I
Mr. Edmunds said, that practically but
four months of the session were left for
business. - The resolutions read embodied
no practical question, only moot questons;
and it would be time enough to debate the
question when it should become a practi
cal question. He move to lay the resolu
tion on the table. j "
Mr. Riddleberger addressed the Chair.
Tbe Chair said the question was not de-
bateable. - I
Mr. Riddleberger criticised .Mr. .Ed
mund's motives, in view of the fact that he
(Edmunds), had -first debated the matter
and tnen moved to shut or debate. Ue asked
that he might be allowed to answer Mr.
Edmund's remarks. '
Mr. Hale asked that Mr. Riddleberger
might have unanimous consent to make his
remarks.
Mr. VanWyck thought be (Riddleberger);
should be allowed to proceed in order, and
he would so move, if in Order.
The Chair said that that motion would.
not he in order at this time.
By unanimous consent Mr. Riddleberger
was allowed to proceed. He did not object
to the first three sections of Mr. Pugh's re
solution. Of those now introduced
as a substitute for his (Riddleberger's)
resolution, he would accept them; but when
it came to the remaining sections he differed
with Mr. - Pugh.- His (Riddleberger's)
resolution involved two propositions,
namely, that we had no right to require
from the President his reason for removals
or suspensions of officers, but we had the
ngbt to demand of bim any reasons or pa
pers or proofs going to tbe question of ap
pointments. The rest of Mr. Pugh's reso
lution, as to "public policy," etc., Mr.- Rid
dleberger saw no necessity for.:
Mr. f ugh professed Ignorance of parlia
mentary law, but inquired of the Chair if
the object of the motion to lay on the table
was to cut on debate. .
The Chair It has that effect. Further
than that the Chair oannot express an
opinion. '"
Mr. Pugh I never would have offered
the resolution if the question had not been
presented by a leading Republican. I.
Mr. conger l rise to a point oi oruer.
Mr. Pugh My resolution was merely
responsive to affirmative action, as I under
stood, on the part of a Republican Senator.
The Chair Tbe Senator from Alabama
will pause a moment. The Secator from
Michigan (Mr. Conger) rises to a point of
order. That Senator will state his point of
order. . .--"'- "
Mr. Conger I make this point of order.
that if this question is to be open to debate
by one Senator it mun be open to an. u
it is not to be open to all, I object to any
further discussion on tbe subject. I have
some remarks to make myself.
Mr. Pugh As a motion has been made
to lav this resolution on the table, and as
the motive and purpose of the motion are
manifest, 1 have no objection to tnat mo
tion prevailing.
Mr. Riddleberger had no obiection, if
there were no "prefatory" remarks. r
Mr. Uockrell Vote! vote! '
The motion to lay on the table was then
agreed to, only one voice being heard in
the negative. - '
After further unimportant business, Mr.
Riddleberger then rose and again called up
the resolution that had a few minutes since
been laid on tbe table, tie said tnat i&e
Senator from Kansas : (Mr. Ingalls) had
yesterday given ..notice that he would to
day move to refer that resolution to tbe
committee, tie moved that it be taken.:
from the table to permit of that disposition..
The motion was agreed to. without de
bate, and the resolution was again placed
before the benale.
After a pause, no motion being made, the
Chairman inquired of Mr. Riddleberger
whether his motion wa9 to rerer the resoiu
tion to the committee. K
Mr. Riddleberger said he had nothing to
do with the motion to refer. - He had called
up the resolution so that the 8enator from
Kansas (Mr. Ingalls) could move according
to his motion. Mr. Riddleberger criticised:
the course of a Senator whose voice is too
suppressed to be heard except by.himself.
Who first makes a speech and then moves
an undebatable motion. "1 don t mind
being run over by railroad trains, f - con
tinued Mr. Riddleberger, "butt don't like
being mashed by a wheelbarrow": "(Great
laughter): ':: '1
On motion of Mr. Morrill, the resolution
was then, without debate referred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elections.
V : The Senate then proceeded to the consid
eration of bills on tbe calendar, under the
Anthony or "five minute" rule. Among the
bills passed were the following: - v t
- Bill for the relief of the Masonic! Hall
Comoany. of Atlanta, Ga. : J. A. Henry,
Mrs M. j. Donah oe, Mr. 3. P. Williams,
and other citizens of Southern States.: The
bill appropriates moneys for the payment
of claims of the parties named for supplies
taken by Union troops between the time of
the cessation of hostilities in the field ihJtfae
late war and the period fixed by the
Supreme Court as the time when the war
technically ceased."- .
: - At 2 o'clock the Dakota bill was placed
before the Senate, and Mr. Logan took the
floor. Observing the sparse attendance in
the chamber, Mr. Lagan premised by re
marking that it was very encouraging to
observe how little interest was token on
either side of the chamber in the great
question of the admission of a new State to
the Union. Ho differed materially; he said
with . the Senator from. South Carolina
(Butler) and; the -Senator irom Missouri J
(.vest) in . regard to the 'question under
consideration, i There were certain condi
tions necessary in order to tbe admission of
a Territory as a 8tate into the Union.1
TbeseHCondiaons had varied in the past,
in the cases of such admission. Two
lines of precedent had been followed by
Congress?', either of ; wh.icfe might now
be followed , One; that of the preliminary
"enabling" act by " Congress; the other
recognition of jbe existence of all necessary
conditions of population, area; , resources
end permanent development in the Terri
tory making, application. -The conditions
referredito were conceded by all to exist in
the case under consideration. Mr. Logan
regretted the absence from the?chamber at
this time of Mr. Vest and Mr. Butler.
Mi. ; Cockrell said his colleague Mr.
Vest) was conSned to his bed by sickness.
Mr J Logan expressed - his regret at Mr.'
Vest's sickness. Going directly to tbe ar
gument the objections, by Messrs.- Butler
and Vest,- Mr. Logan said" that fourteen
States had been admitted under? the force
of the "enabling" act and eleven States
without the "enabling" act. . Congress,
therefore, was free to adopt either course
according to the circumstances which each
-case might seem best adapted to the public
good. . ':'.. : ; '-',::':l'i;
Mr. Logan asked what was the substan
tial objection to admission? By reading a
paragraph from Mr.-Butler's speech we
might get a glimpse, at least a shadow, of
the real objection -The meaning of the
objection was that if Dakota were admitted
it would add three electoral votes to the
Republican strength at the next Presiden
tial election. He inquired .of Mr. Butler
(who bad in the meanwhile entered) wheth--er
that was not the point? v :"
;- Mr,' Butler denied it, and said he
bad .-already declared that even if .the
political complexion of Dakota were Dem
ocratic, he would have felt obliged to
oppose its - admission under the present i
aspect of its application. If Dakota came
here under an -enabling act .and bad com-:
plied with--the conditions required. by the!.
act. he would :- not. oppose its admission,'
but even in that case he would not vote for
its admission, if the so-called action of the
"territory was not the bona fde action Of the
people, but of a small political clique
Dakota, Mr. Logan said, bad 261,000
people, and had polled 57,000 votes. Sooth
Carolina had 700,000 people and only voted
81,000 votes. - -
Mr. Butler corrected Mr. Logan.-' South
Carolina had 1,000,000 of population.
Mr. Logan admitted his error, but still
insisted that there was . something wrong
some where when. Dakota polled so many
votes relatively to the vote of South Caro ;
lina. True, only 31,000 voles were cast by
Dakota on the election for the new Consti
tution, but that was because the Democrats
of Dakota under direction of the Dem
ocratic committee had nbt participated in
the election. " '
Mr. Butler asked what that had to do
with the question under debate. South
Carolina was not applying for admission
into the Union: J : -
Mr. Logan admitted this. " .
Mr. Butler thought Mr. Logan's remarks
therefore as applicable, Jas if Kamschatka
' were applying for admission. ' ; .
Mr. Logan That is the opinion of tbe
Senator. - The Senator had said - South
Carolina was in the Union So she is, said
Logan, and I cay she has never been out:
.: Mr. Butler lam glad to hear the Sena
tor say that. - - " -
Mr.. Logan said his references were more
in sorrow then in anger, but he could not
forbear saying that it was not "north of
the line" that bitterness was found or in
justice inculcated; it was not north of the
line that it was sought to deprive people of
their votes. The objections to Dakota
were a part Of the great scheme to keep out
Republican. States till Democratic States
could be brought in also. That was a rep
etition of the old principle of the "slave
and free" States. Mr, Logan read from the
Charleston Na and Courier an article
advocating lb enactment of property qual
ifications for voting. . There, he said, was
a proposition , to deprive the mass of the
people of tne right or surrrage. -i ne sena
tor from South Carolina 'laugh laughs,"
said Mr. Logan. "I don't see why you
should not laugh, for that is only the way
you are going to control that country after
awhile " The start ot the Democracy had:
been in South Carolina. "Yes," said Mr.
Butler, "while tbe distinguished Senator
from Illinois (Logan) was a leader of that
party."--
.Not a leader," replied Mr. Logan, "I
was a follower; and I followed so far bo .
Tiind tbatlgot left." (Great laughter and
applause in tbe galleries-) - i ne attempt to
keep out Dakota Mr. Logan characterized
as a part of the great scheme to keep out
States that sent' Republicans to Congress.
Mr. Morgan opposed, the admission of
Dakota under the present condition. He
thought the Senate was asked to admit the
new State merely for the purpose of admit
ting office holders that had been sent here.
The patriotism that bad been bo much re-
f erred to had in it a strong navor oi seir
iffterest Tbe speaker criticised the action of
South Dakota in undertaking to divide the
Territory on its own account. That Ter
ritory as a whole was legal entirely. He
compared the small State with the great;
Delawave with New York, : to show the
greater proportional . influence of -wide
tentorial urea ror a state in tne union.
He opposed the -division of the Ter
ritory, and said mat tne people or . u&
kota as a whole also opposed it. Tbe
Constitution brought here did not come
-from the people, and it violated the laws of
Congress by disrupting tne territory.
There was no case m our history use mis
of Dakota -When former. Territories had.
been divided they had been divided by the
vote of the people or one nan ot the terri
tory. Mr. Morgan would like to see Da
kota admitted in the Centennial year of .
the adoption of the United States Con
stitution. Three times mirieen raaae aa
so that there would be special beauty and
fitness in tbe admission of that State in
1889,1 after compliance with the conditions
of an "enabling" act which should be
passed by this Congress, l hen could tms
Union through all coming generations of
men point to the : marvellous work of the
human band and human mind in the erec
tion of a free government for a free people.
Mr. Harrison obtained the noor, out

to bring the bill to a vote to-morrow..
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Bland, from the Committee on Coin
age, Weights and Measures, desired to re
port back the resolution offered by ilx.
Hill, on Monday last, cainr? on tne (secre
tary of :lhe Treasury fof (lain informa
tion relative to silver circulation.
"Mr. Morrison, statine that he wished U
examine the resolution, made the point that
it was not accompanied by reports assigned
bv the rules. '": ' ; . -. ' . '
Mr, Bland wunorew. tne moiion ior tae

. . Mr. Robertson, of Ky., from the Com
mittee on Expenditures-. in tbe war De
partment, reported back the resolution in
structing that committee to inquire into tne
alleged violation, by the-. Signal service
Bureau, or the statute which pronibits an
appropriation lor one object being used for
any other. Adopted. . '.
Mr. Bland having prepared a short re
port, again submitted his preamble and
resolution, which as amended, by the com
mittee, quoted at greater length from the
speech of Mr. Coe, of the New York
Clearing House, at the Bankers Convention
at Chicago, and concluded with a request
for information with tbe tollowing clause:
"Also, what . amount of interest bearing
debt is now -subject to nalL ana. will the
same policy be pursued in the payment of
silver thereon, and oil other public dues in
the future, as in the past." - ' ;
Mr. Morrison would not: object to the
resolution, but thought that it went too far
in asking what was to be the policy of the
Treasury Department. . v
The debate having indicated that the
only way to get rid of the last clause was by
recommitting the resolution, "with instruc
tions to the committee to strike it out, Mr..
Hewitt accordingly moved to recommit the
resolution with instructions to the commit
tee to strike out that portion which asks the
Secretary of the Treasury to define the
nolicvof the Administration. The motion
to recommit with instructions was lost

Mr. Brady, of Va., rising to a question
of personal privilege, again endeavored to
