Mr. GarlanS , fronl the iox'rnittee
on territorifis , t porled the honsa bill
tendlnjg Ihe limit to the eeteioLS of
-terHlorial legiflitures from ; forty

At 2:10 : p. m. the senate "went into
executive session.
A private bill for the relief of the
heirs of Richard K. Gall ) receiver of
public moneys in Florida , fc.r Ihe
years prior to'IS 10 0 11 was sued aa

r JJlTr. Weed SallSd np the fnnding
bill in Ihe house , which Robesou an-
tagcnlzed with a motion to.cjsicer a
resolution in regard to the counting !
of the electoral vote , aud the roll wsa
called on the question of considering
the latter. The house rafaicd to
consider the electoral count resolu
tion , and after a good deal opposition ,
went into committee on the funding
bill. All efforts to limit the debate
|
were , futile , and it was evident that. I
the temper of the house was against !
the passing ot the bill until after the' I
recess.
Mr. Weaver , of Iowa , here present
ed the minority report in the caao of
Boynton vs. * Loring , Irom the Sixth
MassachiiEetta district. It declares
Mr. Boynton entitled to seat. The
report was ordered printed with that
of the majority , which nas submitted
on Monday. ' j
An effort was made In the house , to
dispense with the morning hour In
order that the funding bill might be
proceeded with , but the necessary
two-lhirds vote could not be obtained.
Mr. Hawley this. jnorning.present.
cd In the house , the portrait of Jona
than Trumbnll , speaker of the house
of representatives in the Second and
Third congresses , which wss contri
buted by the state of Connec'icat. '
On motion of Mr. Burrows , of Michi
gan , the portrait was accepted.
Mr. Sparks has reported adversely
upon the bill referred to the military
committee , authorizing the appoint
ment of an assistantant secretary of
war , and it wa ? laid on the table.
The house was in committee of the
whole on the fnnding bill , with Mr.
Covert , of New York , presiding.
Mr. Gillette , of Iowa , who had
made a regular set speech against the
bill , yielded thirty-five minutes of his
time to Mr. Weaver. The latter did
not wish to take the time to-day , be
cause , with other opponents of the
bill , he was opposed to its considera
tion until after the holidays.
Mr. Fernando Wood , who had
charge of the bill , wanted to go on un
der the five minute rule , but objoa-
tion was made , and Mr. Mills threat
ened to move to strike out the enact-
tlngclaims.thst Mr. Wood , in urging
the bill was acting as the representa
tive of a syndicate of bankers of New
York. He said ho ahould stand 1 y
any offer to prevent action at this time
Hr. T76oa ! eTorFea trnS ft was
doubtful whethar any bill would Vbe
permitted'-to pass without some fac
tions opposing. He said he * had had
notice served upon him _ by the le'a'der
of the very same party in the house
( referring. , to Mr. Weaver ) , thit he
would resort to all manner of parlia
mentary strategy to prevent the passage -
age of the 1)111.
Mr. Weaver , interrupting , saulthat
he renewed that declaration.
Mr. Wood , continuing , saTotlhat
upon the heads of opposition must
come the responsibility for the failure
of the bill. He denied , in response
to Mr. Mills' statement , -that he was
controlled by any syndicate , and
claimed that hevss influenced en
tirely by the business interests of the
country. Ho said that ho was weary
of the debate of btllF , but wanted to
reach a conclusion upon it. It could
be amended , but he was determined
that some measure should be paased
to enable the government to redeem
its rote ? .
Mr. Bland , the father of the silver
bill , in , a brief speech , said that he
saw no necessity-of passing the bill
now , when so mxny members had
gone home for the holiday recess He
referred to the fact that Mr. Wood
had introduced and secured the pus-
age of * resolution for a two weeks
recess. He laid he knew the senti
ments of many members who were
absent and would like'to vote on thit
question , and he protested agiina
any actioi.at the present.
r Mr. Wood demanded Immedate nc
tion. Ha said that he felt that it
W.M his dnty to hnptoas upon the housa
tha importance of this question , for
the } > a5ga of the bill was an imper
ative nectsaity. He called attention
to the fact that on the last vote taken
there were present thirty members
more thsn a quorum.
The debate drifted along in n quiet
wayvsriotH members miking speeches -
es , including Speaker , Randall , Mr.
Dunnell an'd others. At length a
question arose as to the responsibility
of the demncratic pirty far the mis
chievous financial legislation. The
merits of the
funding bill were prac
tically lost sight of , and a political
discussion ensued , which finally end
ed in an open rapture between Mr.
Weaver and Mr. Sparks , and culmin
ated in a most exciting ectne , during
which the lie was passed. Except for
the Interference of other members
Messrs. Weaver and Sparks would
have come to blows.
JUr. Weaver-atsortcd that tue dem
ocratic campaign of 1668 was fought
Upon the greenback idea , and read
from the party platform of that year i
t- > prove hla aisertion that the party"
then maintained the theory thut the
bonJa were to be paid in greenbacks
Kr.l'oSnaend , of Illinois , said the
liarsgiaph qnnted rid not refer to all
the bonds , but to the 5 20's ,
Mr. Weaver hero htld up & democratic -
cratic campaign flag of 1808'aad said ;
ho would r hd a le fcnd upuu it in ot- , '
dec to show thtil Iho ueaicerats were
thjn ctthihiitbd to the greenl ackidaa.
Mr. BUnd inquired uhethor Mr.
Weaver was not a republican in 1868.
Mr. Weaver rep'ied ihdt he wa ,
b t that at ihnt tima ha.wt : t over to
the democratrpf arty and tLey deserted
hiin.
hiin.Mr. . Weaver was here subjected tea
a firs of cross questions , and amid a
gocd deal of co&fnpinn' . proceeded to
roidtho legend on Iho campaign flag ,
'
'
an l arg'do'd f-orn it that the party
who had supported Mr. Seymour for
president , advocated tha payment of
the bonds in green bat ks. He went
OH to charge that the democrats had
chsnged .heir party after the cam
paign. Bo sMd , further , that the
democratic party hid reached a posi
tion where the rapuljl can party had
bsen fo\ir \ years before , and that they
had been beaten by their platform at
every election. *
It was suggested that the democrats
were not beaten in 1878.
Mrv Weaver replied that he did not
believe that any one was elected that
year.
In response to a question from Mr.
Townsend , he voted for R. B. Hayest
and that ha was sorry for it. He cbn-
tinuei his criticiema of Ihe democracy ,
and said that their p' 1 cy bad Jed to
their defeat from I860 to 1880. In
the last election they sold out to the
Belmonts , Bayards and Kernans of
cue east , and deserted the western
greenbacken , and their overthrow
was a just retribution. There was
but ohe party that had adhered strict
ly to their promises. The party of
principle was the national greenback
party. Mr. Weaver read tha demo
cratic ' plitform for 1880 , and argued
tb'at it was a cowardly endorsement of
republican theories , and the people of
: ho United States had said in the late
election that they preferred the party
that was opanly in favor of the syndi
cate , and would not swap horses
while crossing the stream.
- A rambling dissuasion ensued re-
yarding the democratic platform.
Mr. Weaver continued his attacks
[ upon both parties , and during the
progress of his remarks the mombera
gathered about him from all parts of
the hall.
Democratic members accused him of
being a republican at heart , and of
going to Alabama during the late cam
paign under the'direotion of republi
can leaders. Weaver continued to de
fend himself and to attack the demo
crats , until Mr. Wood again tried to
stop the discussion , but the gentlemen
oa both eides seemed anxious to have
it go on.
The'aTiimosity between Mr. Sparks
and Mr. Weaver showed it elf again ,
and but for the interference of the
friends of each and the sargeant-at-
arm ? , they certainly would have
fought.
After the excitement had subsided
somewhat , Mr. Weaver , apparently
cool and collected , immediately de
manded to be recognized , as he was
entitled to the floor , but the commit
tee arose and the housa adjonrned.
The closing lilt between Mr.Sparks
and Mr. Weaver jsused intense ex
citement In the galleries , which were
crowded. It was by all odda the
liveliest ecene that has occurred in
the houee for years. The subject
will come up in some shape in the
house to-morrow.

The Sewer Wors.
The sewer contractors have in con *
sequence of the recent decision of the
supreme court ceased work on the
sewer under process of'construction
from the west line of Ninth street to
ward the terminus of the completed
section al Thirteenth street , having
completed all the brick work as far as
they have gone , which is to the west
line of Tenth street. Thia leaves
things in a bad fix general
ly , the money and labor
expended on this very neces
sary work being practically sunk , until
work is resumed and the two sections
joined together. It would have been
much better could the work have be
gun at 13th street and been made a
continuation of the old eootion , bat In
building a sewer it is always necessary
to build ngiinit the stream so that
the water will flow over completed
work only. The question as to what
shall be done under the circumstances
is under legal advisement , but it is
not probable that the city
council will be' able to rem
edy the unfortunate condition
of affairs until tjo proposed charter
changes are made by tbe legislature ,
so that the city may bond Itself for
sufficient to not only complete the
sewer draining of South Omaha cretk ,
but also build one in North Omaha.
That this should be done at tbe earl
iest practical moment is acknowledged
by all , snd that until it Is done the
enormous proportion of deaths in
the city wi 1 ba iu thoio lo-
otlities is undisputed. L atear
there was not one child left alive
along south Omaha creek , such was
its death breeding influences.
The contractors , who must bo out
so much money for a time , have done
thair work well and there is n't a
crack to be seen in sny'of the brick
work. It has cost thorn thus far
between 87,000 and $8,000. This
has been done too in the face of the
unusual obstacles of severe fal
weather , scarcity of brick and othei
similar matters.
