double the duty on linen fabrics of which
only the courser sorts -were made in the

on the ra-w materials , then , as a nutter of
Vcourso , the duty would have to bo doubled on

Mr , Cunmnngs of Now York , rising to a ques
tion of privilege , protested asalnsthls ' 'black-
listing' ' hy the Ciuiuon resolution , He said
the ctmtlcmuii who had oftcrcd
the resolution bad made unjust Imputations ,
und in making these imputations ho had falsl-
' lied the record aud blacklisted himself. He
then proceeded to muko an attack upon Air ,
Cunnon , comparing him to the noted Titinc-
villo of the French revolution , hi support
of the icsolutlon the gentleman from Illinois
( Cannon ) had aiipoalcd to tbo record. The
gentleman from Iowa ( Henderson ) had seconded
ended thu gcntloinaa from Illinois , and had
used the word "siiouk. " Tlicro had been
, r BOino sneaking done > , us the record indicated.
* The record showed that the speaker had rc-
'V fused to the hoiuo u lUt of names
/ J of the absentocs. Ho then procoedcd
* ' the and the
toniia'ga spcalicr majority
oftho committee on rules. This majorityho
said , oi.nposed atriuinviruto almost as po\v- \
rrfui v tlio cue which sprung Into life after
the nssasslnntlMi ol Julius Cicsnr , All the
legislative meat \vis cut nnd dried and
distributed accorillng to n prearranged
proKrntnino. Mr. Cummlngw was frequently
Interrupted by Mr. Iverr of loxvu nnd Mr.
Howcll of Illinois , with tbo point of order
tliut be was not confining himself
to a ( lucstlon of pei-sonal priv
ilege. Air. Cummlngs proceeded
with his arraignment of the speaker , but
after frequent interruption ! asked un
animous cement to print the ro-
nmliiiler of hU remark * In the Record.
Hut this consent wns refused by .McssrslCorr
undUunndl. Mr. Cannon rcinanml tint the
gontlcmnn was printing the spccchunder the
false pretense of inaltiiitfn personal explnna-
lion.
lion.Air.
Air. Cuminlngs-Thnt pretense Is not ns
lalsoas the pixtunse by which you suggosled
my name into that blnck list.
Another inlcri-uptlon was made t > y Mr ,
ICcrr.
This Interruption wns protested against by
Mr , Blount of Georgia. Wet twenty-four
hours ago , hosaid.n gentleman on the other
sldo was permitted to urmlgua senatorof the
United States , '
Mr. Cnnnon-I call thogontlcmna to order ,
[ Laughter. 1 The gentleman from Georgia
cannot take the gentleman from .Vow Vork
off tbo lloor.
Nr. Blount-Yes , a gentleman enthoothor
side was permitted in violation of the rules
to arraign a senator as n felon and to arraign
his colleagues for associating with a felon.
Jlr. Camion The gentleman has no right
to stnto a question of personal privilege dur
ing the time of the gentleman from Now
York.
Sir. Blount I am only stating nqnesllon of
personal privilege But thcro has ! > ccn con
tinued interruption of the gentleman from
Now York and an effort lo suppress him thnt
I have never seen attempted before , and
which even in the light of the transactions
of ovesterday Is exceedingly oppressive.
Mr. Cuminlugs then proceeded with his
speech and nttho end of an houi' was stopped
by the speaker protein.
Mr. lllaiid of Missouri made a pint of
order that in speaking1 to a question of privi
lege a gcntlemau was not governed by tlio
hour rulo.
The speaker pro tern overruled tbe point
nnd Mr , Blniid appealed ,
Mr. Cannon moved to lay the appeal on the
ttiblo nnd on thU motion demanded the
previous question , but Mr. Bland protested
that ho was entitled to tbo floor.
AniiU nppUusoon the democratic sldo the
spanker protein recognized Mr. Lland's right
tothetloor. Mr. Bland yielded to Mr , Cum-
mlnirs , and. notwithstanding a. protest from
Air. Ivcrr , the speaker pro tctn recognized the
gentleman from Now York , who proceeded
with his speech. He was called to order hy
the speaker pro torn ns not speaking to the
point of order.
Mr. Ouimnings-I may bo muzzled temporarily
rily , but all the machinery of tlio house can
not muzzle mo eternally.
After further debate the apoeal was with
drawn.
Mr. Cannon snld that so far as Mr. Cum-
inlugshad reform ! to him ho would say It
VMS tlio habit of some persons on the other
sldo to linputo falsehood against members
ou his ( Cannon's ) side. When ho made
n statement of fact it was Justified by the
record. Sometimes ho thought the censure
ot the gentleman from Now York was praise
nnd his praise really ceusuro.
Mr. I.ncyof Iowa then called np the Clay-
ton-Brcckinridgo election case , the previous
question to be called nt I o'clocK tomorrow ,
Mr. MrHae of Arkansas made an earnest

, JSTr.vv .YoiiK , S'jpt ' 4. The firm of-SuwyOr ,
Wallace & Co. , exporters of brc.idstufts and
cotton and dealers In leaf tobacco , created
( 'rent surprise hi busiuess circles today by
making an assignment to Marshall Ayrcs.
The firm was estimated to bo worth between
$1,200,000 $ , nnd * 1,5UO,000 , above liabilities.
The llrra was prompt in paying for
knnl purchases , and i-cspoiided also
when called upon to margin their
contracts. A short time ago a statement was
made to the effect thatntho firm \vas worth
moro than $1,500,000. The liabilities wcro
merely nominal and they did a commission
business only. When the announcement of
the failure was made today a rumor gained
circulation to the effect that the Jirimvas
speculating lurgoly of lalo in cotton nnd
tlio market had gene against them.
It was also said that the firm had
boon speculating in grain and had lost
heavily. It is believed that the firm has
pretty well protected its interests in this
country ind the thlot losses , -which may
roach ? 1.100,000 , will bo in London and mainly
on iwrk dealings. A statement of liabilities
und assets will bo made nssooa as possible.
Ilouscson Viill street say the cause ol the
failure was the result of efforts m ado by tbe
llfin to squclt'h competition in the commission
business ! ) ) ' doing n commission buslucsswith
Kuropenn speculators without murjriu and a
small commission. It the pork deal last Jan-
nary tbo lirni Is said to bavo sustained a loss
oc ? I,000OOU , on tills account. Claims for
these losses against Kuropcan speculators
are among the nominal assets. It Is estima
ted that the sum total of the nominal assets
will reach ? 15,030. ! The llrin has undoubt
edly immense holdings of iiicruhundiso In va
rious products lavhlch they dealt , both in
an export and Import way. It will , however ,
take some tinw to realizooii the holdings.

Pacilic short line through this city is pro

sowo very picturesque scenery as it np
piwchcs Plattsmouth , and the vicinityof the

dences. The surroundings will impress thu
patrons of the road with u very favorable
opinion of this city. Prom Plattsmouth the
roul runs northerly , crosses the IMatto river
and connects witn the B. & M. railroad at
La Platte and will then ran on their new
branch to Omaha. This branch line of the
Burlington's runs on the western outskirts
ottho now Tort Omaha grounds to South

Plattsmouth has worked hard nnd con

Iloii.sc > .
Me. , Sept. 4. Speaker Kecil
arrived here this nfternoou , I lo received nu
ovation nt several points along the road
where the train stopped tday. Tonight hn
was welcomed nttho city hall liy a crowd of
3,000 people , nnd mndo an address.
Speaker Heed's address was devoted to a
review of tlio worlc of the present house of
reprcanitntlrcs. Ho spokoof the tluvatsof
the minority before the mseinbllngof ton-
gross nnd the declarations that they weixs
KoiiiK to rule In utter disrt'inird of the IK'O-
ple , uiid of nil the llllbiistcriiiK tactics tl > oy
voro prepared to employ , 'i'ho house of
i epresentatlves , ho said , is not a boily q.ulck
to do business under any set of'rules. Its
largo numbers and the diverse In
terests they represent vill always miiko
it slow and cumbersome , Hut a system
vhichoimntcd ono member to bold the \vliolo
house at bay until the colug dov.fl ottliuMiii
nnd then to hold It until physical exhaustion
set It free , nnd one-lllth to hold it forever ,
vus evidently a system vhlch rendered the
systems useless and called a halt to civiliza
tion itself. If tlicro be nnythlnt , ' inpopular
government it moans that \vlien the people
have elected 0110 party to take control of the
liouso or senate that party shall
have hoth power and responsibility. It
was with far other Ideas of public
duty that the minority setout at the opening
of the session. Not only were no measures
to pass which did not have their approval ,
hut tlio rules oven of procedure worn not tone
no permitted , except those which seemed
suitable to the bnitcn party. Bo vo began
without rules. After two months' opposition
wo found that the pirlinincntnry law which
hnd been built up by the American people hi
consonance with theirlnstitntlons that public
business was uoltig on every day without
their consent and they bcpin to clamor for
the very rules they bid denounced. I
need not describe to you the scenes
of disorder prclinlr.nry to the
establishment of the sound business
principles of the house. Ills enough to say
that the good work wns douo and the house
htia taken a largo strides toward business nad
tbo performance of duty. Any tlino these
last elUt ( months I have been subject to much
Indiscriminate- praise and much indiscrim
inate bluino. Ono is just us much deserved
us the other. Greit events do not turn 0110
man , The house of representatives wns ready
nnd up fora change nnd the people stood
ready to approve. What all the world wanted
was easy to do. I am not greatly iiroud
to ho speaker , but I mil proud
with all my heart to bo ono of that
magnificent majority of the house of repre-
sontatlvci of the Fifty-first congress -which
for nine long months has never ono moment
faltered in Its duty. Wo hnvo achieved all
the republican party promised and moro.Vo
promised the people that the tariff should
havofiilrand exhaustive treatment , that the
principle of protection should have full recog
nition , and wo have kept the promise. By
the administrative bill a wise and discrimina
ting effort has been inado to secure to our
manufacturers nnd morthnnts the complete
beucllt , of rates of duty imposed bylaw. Two
years ago the democrats In the house admit
ted thnt owing to a change in 'tho
methods of manufacturers , tbo whole woolen
manufacturing business was tottering to fall
unless woolens and \vor3tods were put 011 n
footing of equality , > Tcvcrtholcss , for the
purpose of adding votes to tbo Mills bill ,
which would never have passed , they sacri
ficed the woolen Industry. Without delay
and without witting to strengthen their own
tarl'T billby the support of the worsted men ,
Major Mclvlnloy ami Governor Dingley
pushed through a measure of Justice which
has rescued so many of our woolen mills
from disaster and rum. Hut thcsehlllsuseful ,
as they are , vcro but forerunners of the tar lit
bill , Tbo MclCinlcy bill was not made in a
closet , was not the product of ono man who
tried to knowevorythinif. If any tariff bill
wns ever the result of the beliefs of tbo
whole people of the United States the Me-
iiinloy hill was that bill , Another great
achievement of the house is the silver bill ,
Tlio republicans had promised that all tbo
silver dollars should lie furnished which
could bckeptequnl with gola. Such a bill ,
fullilllng that promise to the uttermost , now
adorns our statute booto as a tribute to tlio
wise conservatism of tbo republican majority
of the houso. Already silver seems to ho
climbing to par , with safety to nil interests
of the country. Thera was also another
promise to bo kept , mndo lonj ? ago
and of ten renewed. I'Vycars the republican
party has declared , most righteously , that
there would not bo In a republic a duty moro
sacred tlmii the duty of upholding the right
of every citizen to participate in its govern
ment. The house , true to its duty , has passed
u hill which , when It becomes a law , villgivo
to the people of tlio United State * the suf
frages of millions , It will cmiblo votes to ho
cast and to bo counted as cast , Then Mr.
liced continued : "Every inch of your nro-
gress has been contested by the opposition.
Highway robbery of time has beeu abolished ,
but petit larceny has not n Only a
strong , vigorous public sentiment pro-
viilling among all constituencies ivlll
ever do that. \\ro spent two months
and a lulf inorganlziiijrjin preliminary strug
gles .o settle the right of the majority to con
trol and in determining tlio rules of house
proceedings , Wo were forced to spend moro
tlmo on contested elections. Our loss of time
from contested elections will not bo less than
twenty days , One other cause otlossot time
will boa surprise , perhaps , to tbo community
ut liu'tfe , Is'o man would regret moro than I
to bo thought wanting in nil proparrespeet
forthodeudnudaU proper reverence for de
parted comrades nud for the feelings of sur
viving Jrlonds , yet the method by which
the house shows this respect and pays
this rcvcrenco Is very costly to the
nation. " U'ho speaker wont on to show that
by the time the house gets through with tlio
eulogies of members who have died during
this session twenty-one working days will
buvo boon lost. He then went on to speak of
nnothcr measure of obstruction callingthe
roll. With MO monitors it takes twenty-flvo
minutes to makon roll call , \Vhcncvur the
\casor nays are ordered it insnna a loss of
half nn hour. So far this session wo
have Irul100 roll calls. Thrco luindroj of
these havn been utterly useless , more wanton
.wii9tc. Thicohundrcdroll culls means twenty-
tlvo legislatlvo days wasted in n mcro
useless calling over of names , nnd all douo to
wnstotlmo. with public business unllnished.
Hut in closing what I have to say it would
not bo Just lo rest the claims of the house
upon even a catalogue o ! its great uceda.
Yi'hatthis house has shoMii the country that
any house can do Is worth a prince's ransom.
Henceforth a promise can notbo oxcuscilhy
u performance. If wo hnvo broken the pre
cedents of an hundred years wo have sot the
precedents of another hundred yean , nobler
than tbo lust , wherein responsibility will
wait ou power and wherein tba people , with
full knowledge thattboir servants can act ,
will clioobo those who will worthily carry out
their will.
