Was called to order at 3 p m. Rev. Dr. Carter, of the First Baptist Church of Raleigh, offered prayer. He prayed for patriotism to guide the body in its de liberations, and for heaven to direct those who had come here to make laws. The journal of Saturday was read and approved. Hills and Resolutions. Mr. Fortune, of Cleveland, to p’event the sale of low grade and adulterated kerosene oil. Mr. White, of Alamance, to provide for separate registration of chattel and real estate mortgages; to prevent work ing femal * convicts on public roads; to repeal merchants’ purchase tax; to pro vent usury.

Opposition to State Ranks. The resolution instructing our Sena tors and Representatives in Congress to endeavor to secure a repeal of the ten pt?r cent, tax on State banks was called up and failed to pass its second reading The Internal Revenue. The S mate resolution to ins'ruct our Senators and Representatives in Congress to endeavor to secure a repeal of the In ternal Revenue law came up. Mr. Starbuek, of Guilford, said he did not champiou the whiskey men. but they w* re entitled to some projection. He had seen harsh treatment of them in his county, in the execution of this obnox ious law which was dangerous to liberty. For Mr. Candler of Jackson said he was a prohib’tionist, and thought the whiskey traffic ruinous to the State. He favored the law as it was, with the exception that revenue officials should come under civil service. He did not believe officials would enforce a State law. He extended his remarks into a prohibition address of some length, stating therein that Christi anity and education did not go hand in hand w ith the liquor traffic. Mr. Starbuek said that he did not in tend to make either a prohibition or anti prohibition speech, and called the attention of the Senator from Jackson to the fact that revenue officials already come under civil ser vice. He opposed the revenue system because it was obnoxious to the people. Mr. Carver, of Cumberland, said he was an anti prohibitionist and expected to be one for a long time to come. He made the statement that, whiskey fe* ds the hungry, clothes the poor and edu cates the chil Iren of the State. He fa vored abolishing the internal revenue system. Mr. White, of Alexander, moved that the resolution be referred to the eoiq mittee on Federal Relations. This mo tion prevailed. The House resolution providing for printing five thousand copies of the Gov ernor's message p issed it several read ings and was ordered enroll d. Free Silver Knocked Out. Mr. Abell, of Johnston, offered the following resolution: Whereas, the farmers, the wealth producers of this country, are no «• in the midst of great financial depression on account of the contraction of the currency, and Whereas, The laborers of this country are unable to provide adequate support for themselves and families on account of the demonetization of silver; and Whereas, All of our peop e. « f every class and condition, feel the need of a larger circulation of money, therefore be it Rmtlvt.d by the Senate of North Car olina and the House of Representatives concurring, that our Senators and Rep resentatives in Congress from Norte Carolina, be and they sr ‘hereby instruct ed to us,' all laudable means and every horn st effort to secure the immediate en actment of a law for the free and union ited coinage of silver at the ratio of 1(1 to 1. This was an entering wedge to deter mine the adhesiveness of the two elements of fusion on the financial question. It quickly brought Mr. Cook, R , to bis feet with a prop «iti<ra to rest r it to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Wicker, P., said he wanted the matter tested now, and th it he exp sited soon to have every Democrat in lii> party. Mr. Mewborne, i\, sa>d he favored the resolution, but wanted fifty dollars per capita added to it. Mr. CAtver (Fusionfist), of Cumber land, asked permission to come over on the Democratic side to welcome Mr. Abell iu>o his party, (laughter.) Mr Dowd, of Mecklenbutg, turned the tables on Vr. Carver by asking him which one of his parties he referred to (Prolong’ d laughter) Mr. Carver did not reply, having pos sibly been unable to decide just which his party is Mr. Abell explained tint he did not exi eet the Republicans, who favored a gold standard, to vote for thereto ution. but h* il il expect the Populists, the boasted friends of silver, to stand by it Mr. Cook called the Senator from Johnston u> order, stating that he did not think a motion to refer debatable. The Chair ruled that a n otion to re for was always deli&tablc while the dis cussion was confined to the propriety of referring. Mr Abell, continuing, stid that free »ilv. r was a blade in t ie knife w th which the Populists-had tak.n many a Democratic scalp on the 6;h of Novem ber, and he wished to t>-st the sine- r t v of their professed friendship for silver. He < ailed for an aye and nay vote. Mr Franck. of Onslow, said the S’na T e need he in no hurry, as the reso lution would not b • acted on in Congress within the next two veers, and thought the resolution would fa 1 better under stood if referred to a committee. Mr. Abell asked if it was not a per fectly well understood res hr ion Mr. Fowler (Pop ,) of S mpson, thought the resolution tested the Senate on the silver question, and fav red its doption. Mr. Mewbone (Pop ) did not think there was any cause f< r hurry, and made som-* humorous allusions to the State and National Democratic platforms. By a vote of 29 to 15 the resolution was pigeon-holed by being referred to the Committee on Fed* ral R lat ions, tin* reference l>eing a black eye for silver at the hands of its professed friends. Among the Senators voting with the Democrats against pigeonh -ling the re solution, were Messrs. Carver. R., and P, Forbs, P , Fowler, P., Hoover, P., Lindsay, P.. Rice. R , Pars m, P., San ! ders, P.. Starbuek. R , Taylor, P., West moreland, P., White of Alexander, P., [ Wicker. P. Senator Carver voted for reference at ! first and then had his vote changed, perhaps feeling it his duty to vote noth ways, one way as a Republic m and the other as a Populist. Caucuses V ii non need. Joint caucus of Populist and Iv'publi • an Senators and Representutives to meet in the eapitol at 9 o’clock Hiis morning. Republican Senators and Representa tives, to meet in Senate chamber at 10 o'clock to-day. Comm ttee .Reelings. Judiciary committee, to meet in the library of the Supreme Court to-day at 3 30 p. m. Committee on insurance met in the Senate chamber immediately after ad journment.. Mr. Much ell, of Bertie, was granted | indefinite leave of absence on account of sickness in his family. house. It may nr may not be that .Mr. Zeb Vance Walser’s absence yesterday ; from the chair to which he was elected was to be accounted for by the | fact that he was elsewhere throwing up ■ breastworks for the planting to-night of the anti- Pritchard guns. Or it may or may not tie that the more robust person al i'y of Mr. G. Z French (whom Josiah Turner called “Big Injun”), the member from New Hanover, was rather to be de | sired in the Oyama, Port Arthur, tactics that were to mark the massacre of the people’s hard earnings in the bill which, ! though entitled “Public Printing,” was | in repudiation of Popu’ist and Republi can pledges For the meaning of the day was to throw into the statutes of this Slate, as with a pitch-fork, au unconsidered meas ure on the pub ic printing and this meas ure was tossed into the band-wagon seemingly without any other thought than that another shovelfull of loot had I been added to the pelfy, Populistic pile. And Mr. Walser was absent, though he is paid by the tax-payers to be present ! and attending to his business. But he had a good substitute io Mr. French, who, in the expediting of public business has a gait on him which is not unsuggestive of North Carolina’s late la mented Pamlico. On Saturday it had bee t determined : to convene at ten o'clock which was done, wit h prayer by Rev. Dr. Cobb of the Caucasian. By 10:30, the calendar had melt d away and one hour and a half remained ! until noon, the tune for which, on Satin day, the Public Printing Bill had been set as a special order. Mr Lineback at 10:30. seemed to be i restive, and moved to reconsider, to tie* end that the special order might be shoved up. Several of ti e m -tubers, ! with on y the 12 o’elock understand ing in mind had not yet arrived, but that cut no figure, for the aroma of 'he newly mown, sweetly smelling hay had pervaded the nostrils of the hungry, I and the neighs of keen appetites were in the air. For was there not hay sticking out of all the chinks of the public crib, j and had not the present statesmen been trotting for some time on corduroy roads ? Did they see any reason for wait ing until twelve o’clock “to feed.” “ 1 brow down the hay 1” was the slogan, Mr Liut back sai l th* ie was no use, as the calendar had b en exhausted, of : s eeping *or an hour. Was this bee ms.* Mr Lineback believes in sleeping after dinner ms ead of before? His desire, h ovever, as stated by him, I will do him the justice to s y, was simply to expe dite public business Mr. 1 ineback ha.> no foolishness about him—discards al the tricks of orat >ry, even to cravat and collar, which he may or may not con sider frivolous addenda to a man who loves his country and who is in dead earnest about things. There was much talk and cross talk oc asioned by the Lineback call to arm-, and the time was eateu up un il the hands of the clock had done for him wha? fie couldn’t do for himself. It vas 12 o’elo k. and the bill was take .up the bill to abolish the lowest biddi r law and to bring into being a bonus for favored partisans. Tue debate lasted for three hours and a h. if, when the H use adjourned Dmi g this time, concessions were made by the Democrats which removed all o >jeet ous to the present law that had *een urged by the other side to the end hat the law as changed by tho-e co o s-urns might still secure to the peo pie, • s was stated by one of the speakers, a saving yeirly of severs' thousand dol -1 iis which will now be squandered. fib: the Fusi mists would not have it.

Mr. Payne, 1)., Robeson, moved that his resolution on school aid for the Cro atans be passed over for the present. Ordered. Resolution of Mr. Peebles, IL, North arapt-’n, concerning contested election cases was passed over informally at his request. The Opening Gun*. Mr. Lineback, R . Forsyth, moved to recons'det the vote by which 12 o'clock was set as the time to take up Senate bill number t> on Public Printing and th t the discussion be taken up immedi ately as the calendar was exhrusted and there was nothing to do. Mr McKenzie, D , Rowan said it was an important bill and should not be carried through with a “snatch” now, and moreover a good many member were absent anyway. Mr. Hileman, P., Cabarrus, was aware that the bill was one of importance bit said that the hands of the Legislature were tied now in the matter of the pub lic printing, that there was not even a committee on public printing, that they vvanb'd to get. rid of this law. ' Mr. Monro'-, It, Wayne, thought it was the established mode to refea- all questions of this character to committees He said that members of the House had gotten up since the passage of the bill by the Senate aud said they did not under stand it. If they wanted to give some body |3,000 for doing nothing, let them do it in order and above-board. Mr. Williams, R , Craven: “You mean to say that Democrats voted for it to give $3,000 a year to their man for do ing nothing.” Mr Munroe replied that the Demo crats had remedied that feature in the last legislature; that he didn’t want this House to be bound to the same evils that • ver existed before; he didn't believe in discarded methods of Democracy, lb* knew the drift and purpose of the bill, but he knew there were some who thought a little more slowly than he did who didn’t understand it. The Public Primer under the Democrats did not get a cent, Mr. Ellis, R, of Dav e : ‘Didn’t he get a national office ?” Mr. Monroe: “He didn't expect an office aud didn’t expect a ceut—wry few members have ever read the old bill; nobody has read the new bill. There fore it is important that it bo referred to a committee in order that both the new and the old bill may be examined. Mr. Lineback, R , Forsyth: “I sim ply made the motion because there is nothing before the House and my obieet was simply to put it in the hands of the legislature to say how tue public printing may be let out. Is there au> thing wrong in that ? If you can’t trust the commit tee on Printing, you can't trust any of them. It is to give the Committee on l*ii uiinr the control of this bill.” Mr. White, R, Bladen. “What will be the effect of the bill?' “To put the muiagemeutof the print ing in the bands of the Legi-lature.” Mr. Hilein.t.., P., Cabarrus: “The Itw prescribes that tne bids must be in by the second Wednesday in January, and that within seven days thereafter the lowest responsible bidder shall fi»e awarded the contract by the committee. Ac., which brings us to Wednesday as the limit in which t > act. 1 want to re peal this lav, so as to put this public printing in the hands of this Legisla ture. This matter should always be consldered. Mr. Payne, I> , R ber> >u. Poiut of order: “This discussion is bringing up tie merits of the bill.” Sustained. “The effect of this bill is l« t only to repeal the law of 1893, but to restore the statutes before this law was passed. The object of the law of 1893 was to nullify the pro vision which allowed anybody to make anything.” Mr Young, R, Wake: “Do 1 und r stand that this bid would bring iutotff -t the old law r” Mr. Payne: “I think so. I find in chapter 101 of the lawsof 1893 that c <u iracts may be let for less prices than named in the Code. The committee would, therefore, have it in its d sere lion 1 v all tvs--ire t*> th* com-ririoe roe pv.v.’r :•» adopt th*.*»e pri zes, Ti ere is no purpose on uty part to obstruct leg islation. bn 1 I think it unwise to take this up n< w." Mr. Young It , Wake: “Wedon't want you to think fha‘ R--publicans and D m •xrit' are n >t Milling to take upon them selves toe responsibility of this bill. 1 have been used to meeting ‘baggy before. The Senate has >ont us an act repealing th** law of 1893 Thev sunfi-r --stoo 1 thoroughly what they we e doing, and we understand it You can’t frighten us by responsibility. The law now makes the Secretary of state pracicallj th** Public Printer of North Carolina." Mr. Smith, IL. Gates "1 came here to do all the gv-xl l coul 1 an 1 as little harm, but whenever l see a wrong at erupted. niv sworn duty is to rise and protect. The gentleman from Forsyth touched the point, whether he intended it or not, and I say w ith him, why did i t you trust the coram<ttee? The attempt is to put the bill upon its immediate passage. The result will re-enact the old law, and will leave it to the di> eretion of the c >mmittee to elect a pub lie printer the same as Itofore. In mat ters of dollars and cents, m< asures should be referred to a committee. We should have time to read, study and think about this measure, we who were not members of the last Legislature. I, my self, am unable to vote intelligently. I want to know the status before the bill of 1893 was passed. “1 wish to ap;ieal to every member of this House, whose sworu du y on mut ters of this kind it is to sec that they are referred to the proper committees, and 1 must understand the measure be fore 1 can vote for it. The special or der was set for 12. and 1 think we should wait.” The discussion was continued by Messrs. Keathlv, P , Duplin, Lusk, Line back, White. R.. Bladen; Monroe, IL, Wayne; Henderson, R, Wilkes, who said that the Populists and Republicans had made up their minds to pass the bill. “You gave the public printing to one of your pets, and we have one we have been nursing four or five months, and we are going to give it to him ” Mr. Flack, I\, Rutherford was in favor of letting the contract as low as possible whether to Democrat, Populist or Re publican. If the lowest bidder be a Democrat and he wants to work for us, all right.” Messrs. Stevens, Hileman and Ray joined in. the lasl gentleman being fu'l of tight and looking as he stood the “double” of Pennsylvania’s Governor, Robert E. I’attisou. Said Mr, Ray: “1 did not come here to fight over again the politi cal battlefields of the past. 1 did not come here to oppose any legislation that will benefit any section of North Carolina; I did not come here to filibus ter and I don’t intend to do it 1 do not care who or what political party brings up a measure here, 1 intend to give it my support if it is for the benefit v f the people of the State. “When this bill was up on last Satur day the distinguished gentleman from Forsyth, with his usud manifestation of political bitterness, came very near go ing into hysterics because he could not rush it through this House over the mi nority. “Chapter 351, laws of 1893, provide that the public printing shall be let out to the lowest responsible bidder. This bill proposes to repeal that act and leave it like it was before 1893. 1 have hoard the reasons advanced by the members of this House and by the members of the S-nate when the bill was shot through that august body with the speed of a cyclone why it ought to pass, a d I have not yet fouud a man who will deny that it is not the way the public printing ought to be let out. You have all cha-ged from every stump and back alley in North Carolina and in all your newspapers that thelaw, as it.stood bo‘ore 1893,gave to the public printer over and above his legitma'o earnings a bonus of many thousand dol lars, and that this bonus was a criminal and damnable waste of the pc 'pie s money, and to save this the public print ing should be let our to the lowert bid der In 1893 the law was p >ssed fitting it to the lowest bidder. You now, un d.-r this bill, propose to repeal the act, of 1893 aud plat e it w u*re i' was wiu-n you told the people many thousand dollars was wrongfully given by the State printer. The act of 1893 is a carefully prepart d law and throws every safeguard around the State, and if yon let it stand, it will save a great amount of money and protect everybody alike. What reason cau you give for its repeal ? Do you deny that it will save m mey to the people to let it alone ? The reason given by the g -ntleman from Forsyth is be cause the Democrats waited so long to pa s it, and when it was passed the ob ject, of it was to save the Democratic party from splitting to pieces. I ask you what do you think of such a rea.s >n for wanting to repea' a good law. They don’t deny that it is a good law bit want it repealed because thy say the motives of the men who enacted it were not good. What right have you got to say that I voted for a good law from bad motives. The gent eraan while I lik • him personally is a man with too much political venom to sit in judgment ol ray motives for voting for the law two years ago. He is simply mistaken ab rat the motives of the last legislature. The gentleman from Cabarrus who is one of th > Populist leaders in this house on last Saturday delivered himself of a reason to vote for this bill that ought to place him at once in th<* f*ont ranks of the grea ed reformers of our day. I have Heard the frog described au amphibi ous animal which being iuterpreted means that they can live iu any element A Populist who can give the reason assigned by ray friend friend from Cabarrus, and rentalu u good standing iu th tt ptrty must be an amphibious Populist The following ap pears iu the Caucasian of yesterday as his speech: • The last legislature passed this law the last session to tie the hands of this legislature. They (Democratic pirt\) had all the lime been using the public printer's place to reward some ouo of their editors It was a bonus for party work. The public printer did none of the work, but let it out tii others. What right had they to abolish this office just when they went out of power. Tney made no sacrifice, but wanted to put the sacrifice upon the r stave sirs. ll.*' ray boot tiers fallen from grace, or has les party gone off with him afti-r “Rvt - or has his association, bore with hi> old time cm mios in the fusion cum as pfio t d wrniu him a desire t-> tax the people to reward some one of his editors for party srvitvs? Yet he proper* to re establish the law that tie says gave Ivi hum's, that taxed the people top money in the pocket of an editor for party work. Wonderful reformer! and won derfnl and glorious party of ref rm to which fie belongs, if it endorses him in his eager desire to re establish the law which he says himself taxed the people of the S ;ii** to give a Kraus to an editor for party work. Besides all this, the law of 1893 has been misrepresented. 1 dv> not know whether this misrepresent at ion is intentional or not. Mr Butler, iu an edi orial in Sunday's issue of the Caueassiau, gives us the folio ving start ling information. He says “The bill introduced by Senator Mew borne t > repeal the law passt*d by the Geuoral Assembly to regulote the p iblic printing is eminently a proper one. The present law provide'for letting out the typesetting to the lowest bidder, but do s not tucludo the binding, etc." Mr. Speaker, I was gready surprised when 1 came across this statement, and that, too. in a paper which claims to K» c trryiug on a campaign of education among the plain p *ople of North Caro lina. Mr. Butler says the law does not provide for letting out the binding, etc . to the lowest bidder at all. 1 will read the law as it stands and let the people K> the judges as to how they are b iug dealt with in the matter. Section 1. That hereafter all printing and binding required for the State shall tv let by contract to run two years to the lowest responsible biiid r, unless otherwise herein after pro vat d Sec. 2 That for the purpose of carry ing out the provision of section 1 of this act, the following regulations are here by prescribed: Tne S eretarv of State shall for four weeks prior to January Ist. 1895, and every two years thereafter advertise in the daily paper in Raleigh, having the greatest bona fide circulation, for sealed proposals to do the public printing ami binding. He shall prepare printed forms of proposals for printing and binding, showing the character and class of work to be contracted for and shall furnish the same upon application free of cost to parties desiring to become bidders. Proposals must be forwarded by bidders to the Secretary of State so a" to reach him not later than the second Wednesday in January. Eich pr posal shall be accompanied by a ertitied check, payable to the Secretary of S'ate or order in the sum of SSOO Every pro posal shall be sealed or enclosed in an envelope and plainly marked on ths outside. Proposals for printing and binding for the year .” The law t hen goes on to provide that the m in who gets the contract to do the public printing and binding “shall file a justified bond, with two or ui >iv sureties, in the sum of ten thousand dol lars, for the faith f ul and honest liis charge of his contract, which bond, to gether with the contract, shall be ex un ited by the Attorney-General who shall make lrs oudorsem tit thereon that the same are c >rrect m substance and form.” Mr. Butler, in the face of all this, seriously tells the people of Nonh Giro lina that the law oiuht to be repeated b cause it du*s nor, provide for Idling out the public binding, but only ’ h - type setting. If this Is the c impiigu of edn eitioa we have heard so much about, may the Lord open the eyes of those who blindly follow the leidership of such campaigners.” There was a rattle of mu ke'ry down the line of speakers whose remarks lack of space crowds out hero, when the mo tion was made to refer to Gorumittee on Public Priming on which McKinzie call ed the ayes and no is on which the vote stood as follows: A\es: Aiken, Alexander, of M ck I *nburg, I a ;er, B ichanan, <ra *ford, Garble, Daui 1, Gallop, Grizzar 1, Har relson, Harrington, ILgg ns, of Alle ghany, Higgins, of Yai cey, Hooker, II rase, Julian, Kell, King, Laurence, Lee, Lyon, McGa l, VcGlainmy,McK i z e, Mewborne, Monroe, Nel-on, i*«yne, Pe bles.

Wooten, Yates, Young.—72 Mr White afterward voted no, asdur ing the call he wished toexnlain fiis vote to which objection was umde by Mr. W Hiatus, of Craven, when Mr White declined for the moment to vote, and said afterward that if the gentleman thought he could gag him, or put h-m in a false position, he would f: :d he was mistaken. During the discus-ion objections had b*eu made by tin* Fusiouists that if the bids were not from convenient distances tfiey could not K* accepted though they were not tin* lowest bills; als » that S« c tion 161 of The Laws of 1893 made it discretionary with the committee t • take bids lower than those prescribed lay The Code in certain instances, aud not man datory. Therefore to meet these obj etious an amendment of Peebles was embodied iu a sub-uitute for the whole bill by N* Ison.
