It wu:hupoCesece You find it in the wake .01 a ship in the night, esicip.ly aher rough weather. Phosphorese* ,ce is the lihtBsing ef Ve sea. Tiat this flaure of speech is or rect inde: cribing its appenrt5ce 1 am certiaed by an incident. Atter c, os-u the Atlantic the first time and wri.ou from Basle, Swizerland, to an Ameri can magazine an account o. my v;- yage. in which nothir more fasc:rated me than the ph. sphorescence in tbc sbip's wake, I called it the lightning ot the sea Betinning to my hotel. I tound a book of John Ruskin, and the first sentence my eyes fell upon was his description ol phiosphorescence, in which he called it "the lightning of the sea." Down to the postcffice I hatened to get the manuscript, and with great labor and some expense got possession of the magazie article and pat quotation marks around that one sentence, -althourh it was as original with me as with' John uskin, I supposed that nine-tenths .of yonlIvmg so nesr the seacoast have watched this marin:-appearance called phosphorezcence, andl hape tha;. the other one-tenth may some day be so happy as towitness it. It is the waves or the sea diamonded. It :s the inflores cence of the billows-the waves of the seacrimsoned, as was tkie deep after the - sea fight of Lepanto-the waves of the sea on fire. There are times when from horizon to horizonthe entire ocean seems in confis gration with this.strange splendor as it changes every moment to tamer or more dazzling color on all sides of you. You sit looking over the taffcail of the yacht or ocean steamer, watching and waiting to see what new thing the G'd of beauty will do with the Atlactic. It is the ccean in transfiguration; it is the arine world casting its garments ol ljgiithe'pathway of the .Almighty as he walks the deep; it is as inverned fir maent with all its stars gone down ith .It. No picture can present it, zor photoprapher's camera cannot be sue cesfully trained to catch it and bet ori it-the hand of the painter drops its pen - o~toverawed and powerless. Thiphosphorescencels the appearance of myriads of the animal kingdom rising, falling, playing, flashing, livin!, dying. Tee luminous amniacules for nearly 150 vearshave been the study ofrnatural isa and the fase'naitibn andsolemnlzation of all who have brain enough to think. Now, God, who Iputs in his B:be noth ingfriviai or useless, calls the attention of Job, the greatest scientisit of his day, to this phosphorescenles, and as the levia thanaof the deep sweeps past p'ints out .thefact :taz "lie maketh a path to shine alter him." . sohat true ofus now and will itbe tu' of us whea we have gone? Will .there be subsequent light or darkress Wll there be a trail-of gloom or good chert Can any one between now and %?JQyears say of us truthfully a th olsays o.beleviathan ot the deep, "'H. maketh apa siesehm - Po we are moig ile we live i the same house, and transact busmnese 1.the amne store, aisd wrrite on the .same table, and chisel in the same studie, and thrah in the same barn, and worship In the same church, we are in miotion and are mn many respects moving on, and we are not where we were 10 years ago, nor where we will be 10 yean hence.

Moving on! Society moaving on! The world movina on! Heaven moving on! The universe mov ng on! Time moving on! Eternity moving on! Therelore it is absur t think that we ourselves can stop, as we must move with all the rest. Are~ we like te. creature. of the text, masing orpah to shine after us' It may be a peculiar question, but my text suggests What influences will we leave in this world after we have gone through it? "Nn, answer hundreds of voices; "we are not one of the immortals. Fif yyears after we are out of the world itwl eas though we never inhabitedi it?" You-are wrong in saysmng that.. I pass down through this audience and up 'through these galleries, and I am look ing or some one whom I cannot find. am looking for one who will have rio influence inthis worldl100 years fromt now. But I have found the man who has the least Influence, and linquire into his history, and I find that by a yes or a nohe decided some one's eternity. In time of teraptation he gave an aflirma tive or a negative to somne temptation which another, hearing of was induced to decide in the same way. Clar on the other aide o1 the next mllion years mybe the fist you hear of the long reaching influence of that yes or no, but hear ox it you will. Will that father make a path to shine after him? Will that mother make a path to shmne after her? Tcu will be walkg along these streets, or along that country road, 200 years from now in the character of your descendants. They will be affected by your courage or jou cowardice, your purity or your de pravity, your holiness or your sin. You will make the path to shine after you or blanken after you. Why should they point out to us on some mountain two rivulets, one of 1&ch passes down into the rivers wnich poor out into the Pacific ocean, and the other rivulet flowing down into the riv era which pass out into the Atlanuic cean? Every man, every womnan, stands at a point where woras ut.ereu. or deeds done, of prayers offerea, accide opposite destinies and opposite eterni ties. We see a man planting a tree and treading the sod firmly on either side or it and watering it in dry w eather andc a great care in its culture, and he never plucks any fruit from its bough, but his hildren will.

Biackness o darknes. Yen k.-x what a 2lorious good m n Iv. John Newton was the mc'st o. hIs life, but belore his cc cversioLn he was a very wicked sailor, and on board the ship Eartwlch infidelity and ricc in the miod of a young man, principles which de stroyed him. Afterwards the two met and Newton tried to undo his bad work but in vain. The young man became worse and worse and died a prelisate, horrifying with his profanities those who stood by him in his last moments. But I ilod here a min who starts out In life WiLh the deLrmination tIat he will never see sufiering bot he will try to ailevtate it, and never see discoura.ic ment but he will try to c'ieer .it, and never meet with anybody but hs will try to do him gond. Getting his stren.h from God, he starts froa boma with high purpose of dolng all the good be can possibly do in one day. W hether standiog behind the counter. or talking in the business offic6 with a pen tehind his ear. or making a bargain with a fellow trader, or out in the fields discussing with his next reighbor the wisest rotation of crops, or in trae s'e maker's shop poundm the so.b leathcr. there is somet.bin' in his face, antd im his phaeology, and la bis manner ;Iat dem onstrates the gra~ce of Godi in his heact He can talk on rulzion wihout t&W wsrdly dra ing a i by the ears. He loves God atnd loves the .sou of all whom he meets and is interested in their present and eternal destiny.. For 50 or 60 yetrs he htves fhat kind of life and then uets thxcugh withi it and ioes into be:.n a ransomed soul. Bt I am rnot gping to detcribe the lpon into which that ship has entered. I am rot going to daeribe the Pilot who met him outside at the "lightship." I am not going to say any thing about the crowds of frieaids who met him on the chrystalline wbarves up which It goes on steps of chirysoprases. For Go' in hs words to Job calls me to look at the path of foam in the wake41 tt shi, and I tell you !! is all agieamn with spendors of aindness ~one and rol in with illumined tears that were wlemwyn adash with -ongrat -dions, and clear ont to the to~o mr all directions is the sparkling, 11lhme billowing phosphorescence o1 a Christ ian life. "He inaketh a patti to shame after him." And here I correct one of the moan noti-:ns which at so-ne time takes pos sesion of all of us. and that is as to :.h brevtty of bumnir life. When I ours some very treaful man, clerical or .lav, m his thirtieth or fourtieth year, I eas: "Wat a waste of energies! It was hard ly worth whdeC fe: hm to get reiay :or Christian work, fcr. he ha i so a ion to quit it."' Bat the iatut is that I maty in sure any mnan or wod'uan who does aov good on a large or smal scale for a life on earth as long as the world lasts. Sicknes. trolley car sidients, death it. self, can noimore destroy his life than they can tear down one of toe rmngs o Saturn. You c. start one good word, one kind act, one caserfuil smile on a mission that will last until the wornd he. coies a bonfire, and out of that blaze it will pass into tbe beavens never to hali as long as God lives. Ther e were in the seventeenth centu ry men and women whose names you never heard of who are :tday influenc ing schools, colleges, churches, natioi". You can no more measure the gracious results of their lifetime than you could measure the length and breadth and depth of the phosphorescence last nighti fllowing the ship of the Wuite Star hne 1,500 out at sea. How the courace and consecration of others inspire us to fol low, as a general in the American army, ool amid the flying bullets, inspired a trembling soldier, who said afterward, I was nearly scared to death, but I saw he old man's white moustache over his shoulder and went on." Aye, we are ll ollowing somerody either in right or wrong directions. A few days ago I stood beside the garlanded casket of a gospel minis~ter and in my remarks had occasion to re al a snowy night in a farmhouse when I was a buy and an evangelist spending a night at my fnther's house who said somethinig so te-naer andi teau tiful and impressive that it led me into the kigdo'-n of Go and de~cided my destiny for this world and the next. You will before:M4 hours go cy, meet some man or woman with a big paca of care and troutle, and you maiy say sometig to him oL her th it will en dure until this world shall have been so far lost in the past that no'.hing but the stretch of angelic memory will be able to realize that it ever existed at Lam not talking of remarkahile men ad women, but of what ordinary folks can do. I am not speaking of tine phosphorecece :n the wake of a Comi pni, but ot the phosjhor~ ned in t he track of a Nefuoy s sack. God makes thanderbac:.s tout of spirke, and ott of the small wor. s anlaCe.s of a small life he caL ia'id~ apower tat wil1 sash and buirn and ttuuler throug h the eternities.

Wit.h gratitude and penitence aUd worship I mention the grandes hife that was ever lived. That ship of iight wA-: launched fZom the heaveus nearly 1,900 years ago, angetic hoss chaniug, anti from tne celestial wharves the .n;p sprang into the roughest sea that ever tossed. Its billows were made up of the wrath of men and devils, Hero diC aDd sanhedrimc persecutions stir rirng the deep with rea. wrath, and all the hurricanes of woc smo;te it until on tne racks of Go!gotha that life struck with a resound of agony that appaled the earth and the heavens. But in the wake of that life what a phosphorescence of smiles on the cheek of souls pardoned, and lives reformed, and nations redeemed. The milien nium itself is only one roll of that irradiated wave of gladness and bene diction. In the subhmest of all senses it may be said of him, "lHe maketh a path to shine after him. But Icannot look upon that lumi nosity that follow;s ships without real izing~ how fond the Lord is of life Tn-at fire of the deep is life, myriads of creatures all a-swim and a-play and a-romp in parks of marine beauty laid out and -arterred and roseated and Wlossomed by omnipotence. What is the use of those creatures called by the naturalis-s " crustaceans " and "cpe pods," not more than tne out of hun l reds of billions of which are ever seen ay human Ve ? God created them for the same reason that he creates flowers in places where cio human foot ever mkes them tremblie, and no human oosril ever inhales their redalence', and I o human eye ever sees their charm Stue botanteil w >rld they prove that G .d loves liowers, as in the marirne world the phosphori prove tha~t he loves 1fe, and he l-oves life in play, life in ri:nisacy of gla-.iess, life in exuber ance. And so I am led to believe that he loves our life if we fulfill our mission -:s fully us the phospnori fulfill their-3. The 5ou of God came " that we mignt have uite, and have it more abundant ly." But I am glad to tell you that our God is not the God sometimes de sribed as a harsh critic at the bead of the untverse, or an imfnite scold, or a GAd that loves fu::er-da better than weddings, or a God that prefers tears to langhter, an omnipotent Nero, a ferocious Nan i Sahib, but the loveliest B-iz' in tne universe, loving flowers and life and play, whether of phos.phori ia Lthe wake of the Majestic or of the human race keeping a holic ay. But mark you that the _phosphores ce ca has a glo w that the night mono lzs, and I asr you not only f;tat kind of influence you are going to .>ave in the world as you pass thro.ugh it, but what light are you going to rnrow across the world's night of sin and sor row ? People who are sailing on smooth sea and at noon do not need much sympathy, but what ai e you go ing to do for people in the nig it of mis fortuue y Wiiyou drop on them shdosv, or will you kindle for them o!osshore~acence ? At.~this moment there are more peo ple Cr: ang than laugting ; more people t' the round world this miom-nt hungry than w -11 fed ; more household-s ertc than homes unbroken. W-aat ar you going t-; do about it ? " Well," says yonder soul, " I would like to do somthing toward illutmining the great ocean of human wretehednie3, but I cannot do much." . Can yott do as much as one of the phosphori in the middle of the Atlantic ocan, creatures smaller than the point of a sharp pin ? " Oh, yes, " you sty Then do that. Sfline ! Stand before the looking glass and experiment to see if you cannot get that scowl off your forehead, that-peevish look out of your l; s. Have at least one bright ribbon in your bonnet. Embroider at leant one white cord somewnere in the midnight of your app::re!. Do not any longer impersonfate a iuneral. Shine ! Do say~ something cheerful about society and the world. Pat a tew drops of heaven into your disposition. Once in awhile substitute a swect orage for a sour lemon. Remember that -pessimism _is blasphemy, and optimism is Christiani ty. Throw some light on the night ocean. if you cannot be a lantern swinging in the rigging, be one of the tiny phosphori back of the keel. Shine! "Let your light so shine before men that others, seeing your good works, may glorify your Father which is in heaven." liste one person happy every day and do that far 20 years, and you will have nmade 7,3C0 happy.

Reed-Eut there are grounds for zus pL) a. (L -1te. ContinunS. Pence. said that the Pop ulists were in full sympathy with the rsCuions adopted b- the caucus that it wa the duty of all ;members to stay here and atIead to bisinEss. But as to ,t'k-'g par.in that ciucus. he said, "I do'tkuol tat we c-u.d if ,!e woui& tu' I know that we wculdr't if we cowd." This was fo!!owed by a sensa t oni st:itenent by Cummings (Dem.) f Ne v York, W'io rose, he said, to the ;uestion o, the highest privilege. He said that at 11 o'clock this morning, V:.ile or the flor of the House, be had been approached by a deputy sergeant at -.rmi. who iold him he was under arre.t. He refused, h - said, to reco IMz3 .te service and n arned the official or his bosres to touch him at their perli. The record would show that he had bcen i attr..uces day aftcr day, ever since Conares. met last summer, and he de nounced the arrest as an outrage. He further etated 1hat it was a disgrace,in hrs op-aLon, to hold a farce session o, the i.:uic on _- %bahington'd birthday. and in hoior of tba-, striot he moved that the Hoisc adi urn. Band claimed the floor as against the motion to adjourn, and Cummings asked If the Speaner (Dockery ( f Mis -ouri) in the chair held his motion to adj -um to be cu, of order. Dackery explaIned that Biand had risen before Cummings, but hearing the latter's as sertion that he rose to a question of the highest personal privilege, did not press his advantage. Cum-miags there upon withdrew his moti-1n to acjourn, and Reed endeav&red to renew it. The chair was incluad to recognize Bland, but Reed insisted that ! e was entitrd to recgnition for his motion to adjourn, It being a privileged motion and always in vrder. Bland got the floor, however, t d said he wanted to make a statement. Tis was ohjec-xd toby tbe Republicans wcho de uanded the regular order. Being reminded by the chair that he could do no more than make a motion at this junctu-e, Bland said he -rouid withdraw his motion to go-Into the c~mmittee of the whole en his coinaae bill, limiting debate thereon to ten minutes. The chair.-But the genmleman from Missouri has submitted no motion. Bland-i have a rigbt to withdraw the iotion maie by me yesterday. The chair-That motion f-li with ad jocurnmenit. Bland thisa moved that the House go intti committes of t'ce wntole upon his bili. and that debate close at 3 o'clock 8 tuday. That would- give the Repub :caus, he said, time to debate the bill. Pending this motion, Cummiogsr newed his motion that in honor of Wash inton the House adjourn. On a division of the House the mo tion was announced as 102 to 104, wbich was treeted with applanse from~ the Deocratc side. The yeas and nays wre o:dcrnd, the vo..e resulinn;: Yeas 117; nays 140. The Democrats who vot ed to adjourn were: Balkwin, Bart lett, Coombs, Covert. Cunmings, Dc Forest, Durburrow, Engitsb, Erdwau, Everett, Fielder, Geissenhiner, Gold zier, Grifin, Hall (MIinn.), Harter, Hayes, Kuibbs, Lynch, Mallory, Meyer, Mutcher, O'Neill. Reilly, Ryan, Sick es. Sperry, T1racey, Warner and Wol verion. The following Rspublicans vo ed against adj )urnment: Bowers of Calfornia and Eartman c f Montana. Tce Potu'.ists alsovo'ed against ad. jornmeot. Reed called for a supplemental re port from the sergeant at-arms as to his execution of the order of arrest made Monday. Pending that, Hulick (Rep.) of Chio stated that he bad been absent undr leave cf the Hztuse, and, while engaaed in the trial of a case in the court house at home, a telegram reached hm aneucing that his leave had been revoked and that he was under arrest. H protested against t als act of the oflicer o the Hcuse, claiming that he was not suject to arrest while absent ..a leave ranted by the House. His name had Eeen improperly included in the list of members to be arrested, a.nd he asked that it be erased. Bland moved that tha gentleman be excused from arres'; ,but Hulick gr2 tsed that he did not want to be ex csed from arreat-be had been guilty of no contempt of the House. He wanted the warrant of Lhe aergeant-at arms cor cte1l. Heard (Dem.) of Missauri stated that Ithe contention ot the gentleman from Ohio was, in effect that if the practice of the House permitted a warrant to is ue for amembtr absent uinderleave w:th cut first notitying him of the reyocation o that leave, and giving him an onportu iy to report and thus avoid the humihi ton to arrest when not in cantempt of the House, that practice shou'.d be re voked. (-That's right" on the Republican side.) "And I think it should be also," said Mir. Heard. After acme discussion of the matter as to the method of reiheving Huhek, Bland moved the previous question on his mo tion to excu'e. Pending this. Sickles (Dem) of New York moved that the tose adj )urn. The Chai (Dockery) stated that no business having ?tervened since a mo tion to adjo.u-n had been voted down, it could not be repeated at this time. This ruhung raised a storm of protests from both sides of the chambar, to which ili chair \xyA.1iacd that his view of "busics ineiul'ed a vote upon the suh -:et u215er discussion or some other di s pual of t Burrows (Rep.) ot Miichigan read fcom th dgest to show that the intervention o a v.>e was not necesseary. The chair s'.aing that he was spill of the opimion t t the motion was out cf orde, said ion Wi.thout taking a division the veas an naye were ordecJ, res'uting : Yeas 106; no 138. So the m~ti'n to adp urn e eThe clair annouaced that the que i.n thea recurrec upon Bland's no'n to ei'une lick. Wnite he was en ri e ts~ tais, S ckiss, tak g position in the centre of the hail, in senran tones, asked recognition for a hea tmu upon a quetion of' privilese :ti, yckerv irjc-.ded with b.S C~it for re vote. B'.wen the yeas and uays 1ceded Sickles demsaud, s;.ating that he could not interrupt the division cl the House. Barrows called the attention of the chair to the fact that 8-ckles bad aJ dressed tho chair before the question The chair-But the chair did not hear the gentieman. Sickles-Everybody else in the House heard wie. The confusion on the floor became so great that it was impossible from the clerk's desk to distingumsh the orderly irom the disorderly proceedings. The chair appea ed to the gentleman from New York to take his seat, telling him be was out of order, and read to him from the rules which require a member when declared to be out of order to take his seat. Sickles remained swandingo7 his one leg, holdirg jis crutches beside him ard endeavoring to complete his state ment of privilege. In the mean while, Blnd with-rew his motion to excuse lllick, and asked that the Hous- go int o conmintiesof the whole on his bil;. Suringer si!*; ing Lear Sickles urged him to take his seat. Wilson (Rep) of Washington turned on Springer asking why he v:antad to make Sicklos sit down, mefel.' for tre purpose of get tiug up again. "You've got two good legs," be said, "and can hop up and down at pleasure, but the General can't." Sickles finally succeeded in getting his question of privilege stated. He said he had been informed that be was under arrest, and he wanted to know if it were true, by what authority it nad been done, and what was the charge against him. Snodgrass (Dem.) of Tennessee-if it is true that you are under arrest, you are not in order now. This evrked a general cry of dissent from the Iepublicans, and Sickles said: '0, I havn't been convicted yet, if I am under arrest, and I dematd the right to ce beard in my own defense. I want the sergea!.t-at-arms to report tiie grounds of my arrest, s:- that I may be relieved theref rom. The Chair--The sergeant-at arms will make report of his procl-edings under the order of arrest. By dint of vigorous use of the gavel, and refusing to he2d the various mern bers clamboring for recognition, the chair succe( ded in securin-g an oppor tunity for Col. Snow to present the fol lowing report. February. 22, 1894. Hon. Charles F. Crisp, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Sir-I present herewith a detailed re port of my further action under House warrant of February, 19, 1894. On the list of absentees, returned to me by the clerk, the tollowing are reported to me as sick and unable c attend: C. A. Boutelle, W. H. Crain, John Delzell, J. C. Hendrix, J. A. Scranton. The following are excused by the House: F. H. Gillett of Massachusetts, W. A.-Harris, W. 11. Hines, D. N. Lick wood, M. B. Wright. M. Brcsius, S. A. Northway. The following members have been re ported to me as arrested and are pres ent in the House: R obert Adams, Jr., F. E. Beltzhover, C. A. Cadmns, J. M. Clancy, H. A. Coffeen. J. M. Cooper, A. J. Cummiues. who refuses arrest; J. Y. Dunn (who protests), C. J. Erdman, M. D; Hsirter. G. F. Kribbs, T. M. Mahon. Whiiiam McAleer, G. V..Murray, f. M Mutcbler, J B. R'-illy,. H. W. Rusk, D. E. Sickles, G. W. Hulick, A. McDowell, H U. Johnson, E. M. Woomer. it is but just to say that these honor able members, wher notified by wire or otherwise, voluntarily came to the House and responded to their names on roll call, but the order of the House warrant to me directed to arre3t them "wherever they may be found," and left me no alternative out to execate the order. The following have not been found: R. H. Clarke, John C. Houk, T. L. John son, C. A. Russell, W. J. Whits, J. D Hicks, J. C. Hutchesoi-, M. T. Stevens. All of which is respectlly submitted, H. W. hNow, Sergeant-at-Arms. House of reuresentatives. As the reading of the report by the clerk proceeded, there was a run' of members to the front of the desk and at the close of the readlnz the disorder had grown into a treat uproir. The Speaker pro item., Fore. directed that the gentlemen name-i as under arrest present themselves at the bar of the House, but Gen. Sickles was again on his feet demanding a separate trial. The order for members under arrest to appear before the bar was repeated and Skes shouted his demand fer a sep. arate trial insisting that his demand entitled him to the lirst trial. The Speaker pro tem., (Dockery) pounded the desk with his gavelI, ap pealing for order and saying: ''This is the House ot Representatives and not a beer garden"-a sentiment which the galleries rec eived with applause. To Sickler's insisting on his demand that he be f.ccorded a separate trial the Chair statd that 'the gentleman from New York shall have a separate trial. Bt he must observe the rules of the Houe." Sickles-I obey orders always. Iin sistea upon a separate trial, because I can show that the warrant is not worth a whisp of straw, -and the 9roceedings in my case would dispo~ie of all the others. At this point, H. U. Johnson (Rep.) of Indiana, who had just learned that his name was included in the list of those under arrest, rose to a question of per. sonal privilege. 'i have been here on the floor of tbe House all the time," he sai. "I have miesed no roll call, and hsve not been absent. I want the ser geant-at-arms to say when and where I was arrested, by whom, and for what. I have not been arrested, and I think the sergeant-at-armfs should be given an opportunity to correct his return and a charge of which I am guiltless." No attention was given to the state ment of the genileman from Indiana, and tne Chair directed that memoers named as under arrest present them selves at the. bar in order in which their names appeared in the return. It had been impossible to get them to the front in a body. Under this direction, Adams (Rep.) of Pennsylvar~la present ed himseif. The Chair-You have been charged with being ausent from the House without leave. What excuse have you to offer ? Adams-I was in the State of Penn sylvania, exercising the highest privi lege of citizenship (Cheers on Republi can side)-voting for member of this honorabie House. And I am proud to say that we rolled up a majority of ov er 177,000 in his favor. (Rene wed cheers ) I received a telegram request ing my return and I came back at once, but not before I got Ia my vote. Reed-I move that the gentleman's name be str cken from the warrant and he be dischairged, because his arrnst was made without authority of the House. Sickles-Not stricken out, because his nams is not in the warrant. There are no ames in the warrants. This statement gave force to the re quest, which had previously been made irregularly, that the warrant should be read, and the clerk w as directed to read it to the Hlouse for information. ?ue reading of the document disclosed the fct that there were no na aes men -1 tioned in it and immediately O a th wani e (Dem.)of Ohio moved that the House adjourn. (Cries of -Oh, No!" from the Republican side.) On a aivision, the motion was deciered lost-83 to 120. Sickes-My otsject ihi demandmng a separate trial at first was to show that the warrant was void. The sergeaut at-ara s is liable to an actio' in dam ages to every mecmber brought here un.r it. Rdi moved that Adams be dis chargd for the reason that his aireit was not authorized by the I~use. Spriner objected to this form of state meur, holdivg that the atrest was au thoriz -d by th I lous. -. SockaeOt MisssiHP pi, es asu"P'ri or right, moved t. toe war rant be qasnied and furthe: proceedings aibau The chair procaeded to put R tedsa motion. statimig that 'the gentleman from Maine moves that the gentleman from I'eunsy vanlia he dischar<e."

Bt ore a vot! was ta::ea On Reed's motion, Bland moved that the House adjouru. While the ILluz was divid ing, Adams kept askIng the chair to tell him where he would be in case the House adjourned, but he got no re sponse. On the division, the vote was an nounced to be 132 to 101. This was empliasiz 'd by the yeas and nays which resuited-yeas 155; nys 110. Soat3:05 tLe I;usc adjourijed until tomorrow. SLANDERING SOU'HERN MEN. A R-dilcu:os Sp-ch rron HewitZ in New Y,,rk, WASImNGTOx, Feb. 23.-The speech of Abranam S. Hewitt at the banquet of the sou.hern Society last night has created intense indiguat ion among the SouLhern men In Couzrcss. As soon is the attention of a few had been called to the matter, the papers publisning the full-st account of his speech were circulated freely thronah the House, and expressions of montempt and indig nation were vented on every hand. A larce majority of tWe Southern men refused to 2ve public expression of opinion on the matter beyond saying tnat it was contemptible and unworthy of notice. McCreary of Kentucky said that he found the best way of treating such things %as to ignore them, as he should do with this. Allen of Miss issippi said that he would Oind occasion to give an extended public. expression of his opinion after considering the matter. Lester of Georgia said he did not use language in commenting upon this matter which would be suitable to print, but he regarded such a speech as calculated to do great injury to the Democratic party. Brnkhead of Alabama said that the utterances were contemptible. He be lieved that It was premeditazed and a part of a plan of cuncerted action on the part of so-called Democrats of New York and elsewhere In the East to de stroy the Democratic party. He said that he could see nothing else in it ex cept this vicious object; that this could be no excuse for it except upon the as sumption that it was malicious, and it was of the kind with the action of some cf the Eastern men in the House today. As for himself, he said, he could see no solutIon of the problem except to tell Hewitt and his icind to go to the devil, and then to take Horace Greeley's ad vice and go West. The future allianee must be between the South and West. Eoloe of Tennessee said that it was a deliberate-purpose to insult and traduce the Southern people because they would not consent to be robbed and to take commands from a small section of the party around New York. As for Mr. Hewitt himself there was a time when no one- could dispute his intelligence, but that it might be that he was now in his dotage and suffering from disap nointnents; or it might be that he had joined that gang in the East who are trying to put tneir hands into other people's pockets, and are indignant that there should be any resistance or pro test. The applause which Mr. Hewitt's speech received, that, however feeble Mr. Hewitt's intelligeace might have become, there were those who sympa thized with his atteranwes. C irath of Kentucky said simply t6at Hewitt was simpiy in his dotage. -Dockery of Missouri said that the speech was unworthy of Hewitt and departed far from the truth. Livingston of Georgia said that Mr. Hewitt uttered an absolute falsehood when he said that the men of brains of the South had gone North. "Tae Southern men of brains who bave gone North," said he, "a e few and fr D t ween. .l do not mean to say thb-t no brainy s'outherner has gone North, but I do say that few have." He makes another false statement when he says that tne industrious men of the South have rem-ained home because they were too poor to go Norih. Tuc douthern people controlled this coun: ry from the beginaiug of its history until the war, and now again they are getting con trol-in every department of the govern ment and every path of industry. For every intelligent Southern man who goes North, fifty iintelligent Northern men come soita. The Southern people do not want to go North. They have no business there, unless they go to gamble In stocks and Donds and to join the robber n-and, and do as Mr. Hewitt is doing-making money out of the manipulation of the revenues of the government. As for the Ignorance of the Southern men, being a Southern Congressman myself, I1 shall say noth: ing; bnt when he speaks of our devo ton to adiver as the touchstone of our ignorance, I must remind him that in this we follow the Constitution of our government, and in the footsteps of Caldun, Clay, Webstes and Lincoln WHAT HIE SAID. In the course of his speech, after complimenting Secretary Carlisle, Mr. Hewitt said : "But the character of Southern stesmanship has decreased trom the time before the war, and her Senators and Congressmen of today are as pig mies compared with the inteliectual giats of that time. The statesmen of today show little signs of having stud led the great economic questions affect ing the interests of the country. " He then proceeds to discuss the sil ver questions and held that Southern statesmen were responsible for the stagnation incident to the continued coinage of silver. Proceeding, Mr. Hewitt went on to praise the Wilson tariff bill, particu larly the provisions which place iron and coal on the free list. " But it was in dealing with the tar iff quesrtion," he said, " that Southern representatives had displayed a lack of intelligence away' below the standard of the men who prescede them. It was hard to explain this, " he said. " After the war many Southern men came North. Those who remained behind that had brains devoted themselves to business with a view of regaining their shattered fortunes. Possibly the -remainder devoted themselves to poli " The course of the Representatives in Congress from the South could not be explained simply by devotion to sec ton or locality. It was the reeult of grss ignorance. The present stagnant conJi;.ion of trade was brought about by the silver bill, and tbe-South solidly voted for that bill, thus making them selves responsible for this stagnation and thusa demonstrating that there was no greater enemy of the public inter est than the fool who-stepped in where angels feared to tread." An Ateteive Huuband. 01ec of the most remarkable cases of cnjugal devotion on record came to light torough a London law court late ly. A man sued to recover a large sum of mntey from the authorities of a puble idtiramy. IHe testilled that seven years ago ne had an invalhd wife whom he WJs unatils to take care of at hor C. useqiently he placed her in the iinrmary. But she was not a chari ty paruent. Not she. His British oride would never stoop to let the wire of his bosom become a pauper. i~e paid -$1.25 a week to the iadrmary peo ple to take care of her. With a faith fulness which cannot be overpraised he paid that sum week after week, year after year, f or seven years. As long as he had a stroug rigut arm his beloved wie should not sufier. Well, :st the end of seven 3 ears he found out his wfe Lad died la a few days after he a' t :her in the establishment and he b< I bee-n pas itg a ghost's boa:d all tiat amne. It is not stast-i howv ne ?md the discovery.- PerLps neV ive ectrred his busbandiy devouon to the it mo oing to s::e his wife alter sevec years. At any rate, he stied the autmorities for the $1.25 a week during the whole time and got his 'money bac! in a lump rum. It was more than he would hav-e pud up if he had known his wife was dead, so he was the giner, after all. iHD1OCl'.uTS IN CAUCUS NEW YORK'S - PAITOROUS MEMBERS BENOUNCOED. Rtacinvotio Adopted Calinng on Demo ( rats to Vats for or Against the Seignior age Ceicage Bill and Form a Qaorum. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Dem ocratic ci.ucus this afterno. n, which was he'd immediately after tbe adjourn ment of the House at 4 o'cl-rk, was noticeable for two reasons. In the first place, the utmost harmony existed among the one huncred and thirty gen tlemen present on a very material pro position naving reference to the Bland seigniorage bill; and secoadly, for the severe criticism indulged in by the members up n the action of the New York Democrats f Tr the past week and who were absent this af ternoon. When the caucus met, Mr. Holman read the call, which &nowed that nine ty mcmbers haa affixed their signatures to that document. The roll was then called and disclosed the presence of one hundred and thirty memoers. When the clerk had fisished, it was obvious that none of the Democratic members of the New York delegation were pres eat, altuough a number had been In at tendance at 'the session of the House tmis af cernoon a-i1 heard the call read. Tne first speaker was Biaad, th- author of the pending bill. B!and offered the lowing preamble and resolutions: Whereas, T rty-two Democratic members of the ::ouse are now absent from the city, and whereas, twenty eight Democartic members of tMe House are present and intentionally fail to vote on the pending silver bill, thus brea'.ing a quorum. Resolved, first, 1Tat it is the daty of every true Democratic member of this House, now ab3ent, unless on account of sickness of himself or family,to im mediately return an-d discharge the da ties of his oflce. Resolved, second, Tnat it is the duty of every Democratic member of this E)usa to attend the daily sessions thereof. Resolved, third. That it is the-daty of every Democratic member to record his vote for or against the pending sil ver bill to the end that a quorum be obtained, and said bill speedily dis posel or, and tae House proceed to other pressing business. Bland then made an earnest speech in support of his resolution and strong ly censured the opponents of the bill for obstructing legislation. He especi ally animadyerted upon those Demo crats who have co-operated with Re publicans in not voting and in pursa ing other q aestionable legislative meth ocs. Bland was-followei by Springer, who also favored the resolution and appealed to absent members to appear and vote at the sessions of the Hoase He pointed to the fact that during the contest for the repeal of the silver pur chasing clause of the Sherman act, all Democrats opposed to that messure had promptly responded on every roll call; had furnished the necessary quorum, and had contented themselves with speaking and recorded their vo:es. Springer appealed to the constituents of absent members to urge their mem bers by telegraph and letters to appear in the House and vote on all questions. He had never known an occasion before when any number of Democrats re fused to come to a DemocraTic caucus and to take counsel with their Demo cratie brothers. He regretted this not only on accoad. of the pending legisla tion, but on account of divisions and dissentions wnich would be engenered in every congressional district in tile - land and make future success i-mnossi ble. Tthe breaking of a quoram by membe-rs 2:f a maj'rity- ought not to be resorted to. It was a parliamentary r evolution, and wouid destroy the pow er of the pairty in the majority to legis late. When Springer hal concluded, By nuin or Indiana, in a brief speech, of fered a resolutioni iixing the failure to make a qturuml on the RepojilCans. He offere ts resolution as an amend ment to the Bland resolution, which was still before the caucas. Instaatly. the hall was filleJ with murmurs of dissent, and tne Bynuam ameadment was at once voted down by a large ma jority, the explanation being that .the Democrats were responsible for the breaing of the quorum, as they were the party in power, and it was their, business to see that a quorum waspras After Willians of Mississippi had spoken briefly ini f:Wor of the Bland resolution, a vote was taken and it was adopted unanimously. Thereupon Bland ofeared anotner resolution, which was as follows : '' Resolved. That it is the sense of this ciucas that the pendingc bill shall , be the special order of business of the House to the excldsion of all other bus iness until finally disposed of." There~ vas no objection, and tile r-eso ltion was adopted. Boatner of Louisiana then took the floor with a resciation which was so r adical that it was at once voted down, nd furnished an excuse for a motion to ad journ that was immediately car ried. Boatner's resolution Instructed the committtee on rules to brmng in an order imposing special penalties for failure to vote and make a querum and for absenteeism. It was quickly disposed of by a vote of 61 to 42, at ter which, upon motion of Richardson, of Tennessee, the 'caucus adjourned.
