Mr. Allison spoke agsinst the prac- ’ tlcc of placing "riders'’ on approprla- ’ tlon hills, hut he regarded this reform as exceptionable ami desirable. "This position of the Senator from Iowa” (Allison;, said Mr. Hoar, "re- j minds me of tha Keoleh lassie who said 1 she had found the best way to get rid of a temptation was to yield to it." At the close of the discussion an amendment by Mr. Vilas was defeated on a viva voce vote. A roll call fol lowed on Mr. Sherman's amendment audit waa defeated— is to M. This was accepted as a test Indicating the adoption of the proposed chsuge from tha fee to the salary system lor dis trict attorneys and marshals Mr. Hill moved to strike ont the provision that the legislative aasembly of New Mexico should meet in May. ''This Is a small, mean, contemptible, political trick,” he exclaimed with f’rext vigor "It is a provision sneaked nto this appropriation hill to force the approval of the (‘resident ” The Senator explained that the pres ent Legislature, which was Demo cratic, would meet in December, but it was attempted by this amendment to pul oft th<- lueeLn,' of the legislature till Mav in the hope that a Kepuhlican president might, be Inaugurated in the meantime.

What I mean by ‘sneaked in' is tha‘ it is unworthy that thi. political trick should tried in souneotiou with a great'appropriation bill." "lint the senator has made serious charge,” persisted Mr. Elkins, "let him continue hi* explanation to as sertion of ‘sneaking in.’ What does be ii can by that?” "I mean that such a political plan has no place here. Jt has crept in, sneakeo in. Will the senator deny that this is a political amendment?'' Mr. Elkins responded that the House of Representatives in the exer else of its rights had introduced this proposed change. Mr. Hill reiterated that the amend ment had "crawled in.” Of course the senator from West Virginia would deny it. When he denied that this was a political trick be showed his capacity for emergencies. Home senator in the rear of Mr. Hill whispered that Mr. Elkins had not made a denial. “Then if he has not denied it, be will deny it,” continued Mr. Hill, "for he does not want to father this petty little political plan.” The senator asserted that appropri ation bills should not be made "sewers” to receive all the "scraps” every one might seek to put into them. Mr. Cullom, in charge of the bill, said that he wav surprised at this out burst of excitement from the New York Henator who, he feared, "would bave a spasm before he got through." I "Ob, no;’ interrupted Mr. Hill, "I was never cooler in my life.” Mr. Culloin expiaiued that the amendment came from the House in the regular way. He expressed the hope that there should lie no personal reflection on the delegate from New Mex ico, to whom Mr. Hill had re ferred as sitting beside Mr. Elkins.
