Ho passes from us , mourned for , honored ,

Sir. Mllllkcn'it Itriimrli.i.
Then amid profound silcnco Mr. Mllliken ,
republican , from Maine , arose and said :
"Mr , Speaker , It becomes my sad duty to an
nounce to this house the death of James U.
Hlalno. Mr. Hlalno was for fourteen years
n prominent and leading member of this
houso. Six years was he speaker of the
house , Kvery position ho has hold ho has
glided with the light of genius , and ho has
given to the public service for n generation
nuch devotion and such industry nnd such
labor as has brought him to his death today.
I do not doubt that every member of this
house will bo glad to pay him a tribute of
respect by adjournment. "
Mr. lloliimii'ft Tribute.
Mr Ilolman , domocrU , from Indiana Mr.
Speaker : The deaths which have been an
nounced so recently of illustrious citUcns
may well bring to our minds tbo prophetic
words of the Hebrew king : "How arc the
mighty fallen. " The death of James O.
Hlalno will profoundly impress the sensi
bilities of the country. A great man is dead.
Ho laid the foundation for his fame In this
hall. Hero wore his great nnd early tri
umphs. How often have wo heard in this
hall the tones of his ringing eloquence f
Great in statesmanship , known not only
to our country , but to the states
men of the civilized world ; and not
only great In statesmanship , not only
ono of the illustrious characters which have
illustrated the value of free Institutions , but
beyond that ho was great in the Held of lit
erature. As the historian of the grandest
epoch In the history of the world ho aid his
work well. His history , covering n period
of years , will go down to posterity as rfno of
the brightest illuminations of the period In
which ho lived and of the grand events of
which ho was n part. It would seem. Mr.
Speaker , to bo eminently proper and fitting
that , with the announcement of his death ,
hero on the eve of his great achievements ,
this house , out of respect to his memory ,
should adjourn. I move that the house do
now adjourn.
The motion was agreed to und the house
adjourned.

WASHINGTON' , D. C. , Jan. " 7. Thonnnouncc-
mcnt of Mr. Blalho's death was mndo by Mr.
Halo , who has been for years ono of the
closest personal nnd political friends of the
dead statesman. Ills remarks were followed
by a motion , made by Mr. Cockrell , demo
crat , from Missouri , that the scnato adjourn
out of rcspeut to the memory of the deceased ,
nnd the motion was declared carried.
The adjournment makes the sixth Inter
ruption of business m the scnato caused by
death within the last few weeks. On
"Wednesday , the llth of this month , there
was nn adjournment on the announcement of
Senator ICcnnn's death , and then on the day
of his funeral ceremonies. On Wednesday ,
the 18th , the death , and on Friday , the
funeral of ox-President Hayes caused nn ad
journment. On Tuesday of the present
week the senate adjourned out of respect to
the memory of Justice Lamar of the supreme
court , and today the same ceremony was ob
served In honor of Mr. Ulalnc.
The senate mot with the gloom which the
Intelligence of Mr. Bluinu'.s death , an hour
before noon , naturally cast over the body
nnd over the cnpltol. Tlio sad event was ap
propriately noted In the opening prayer of
the chaplain , and as soon as the reading of
yesterday's journal was complete , Mr , Halo
1x130 and announced the death. Ho said :
"Mr. President , wo nro summoned Into
the presence of death. A verv great man
has passed from this earth. Hon. James O.
llliilius died at his homo in this city at 11
o'clock this morning. His long illness had ,
in some measure , prepared us for that , out
the dread event will .carry sadness anil
mourning throughout all the United States
nnd will awaken Interest and sorrow
wherever civilized man lives on the faeo 01
the globo.
"Mr , Dlnino's career was so rcmakabU
nnd his public ! services wcro so great that ii
nil tbo histories which may bo written ol
him be will stand as the central figure , no
only as to his countrv. but on ) > olicies and
subjects that affected other great nations.
Ho belonged , Mr. President , not to anyone
state , but to all the country , and the state
which gave him birth , and Maine , where
ho made his home , nnd where he be
_ eamo her Ilrst citizen , and which llllcd
his lap with nil the honors which she.
mould bestow , mourn him no moro today than
< Io the dwellers by the shores of the great
gulf and in the cabins of the far Sierras.
This Is no tlmo or place for mo to speak In
detail of his public life. Ho wns for years a
distinguished member on the tloor of the
house of representatives of the nation and
for six years presided there as speaker. His
services In this chamber covered six years.
Ho was twice secretary of state and was ,
until of late , a member of the
present administration. I do not think
there is ono senator hero who would
not share my feeling in view of these
facts , and the fact that ho died where hU
last peaceful look from his chamber window
might embrace this capital , where his voleo
had been so many times heard , that wo make
n precedent at this tlmo , and that although
Mr. Hlalnu was at the time of his death a
private citizen , this body take immediate ad
journment.
Sir. Cockrell'n Motion.
Mr , Cockroll , democrat , from Missouri In
view of the announcement by the senator
from Maine of the sad event which has Just
occurred under the very shadow of the na
tional capltol and , as a further mark of re
spect to the memory of the Illustrious dead ,
1 move that tbo senate do now adjourn.
The vlco president put the motion and de
clared the senate adjourned until tomorrow.

Outing Ilia Ntiinnmr.
A largely attended meeting of the Manu
facturers nnd Consumers association was held
yesterday afternoon. It had been given out
that the object of the meeting was to discuss
the advisability of holding nn exposition In
Omaha , The largo attendance was nn indi
cation of the great interest taken in the
subject by the manufacturers.
The following wcro elected members :
Chase & Eddy , engravers and printers ,
Omaha t Omaha Kloctricnl Manufacturing
company , manufacturers of clectrio motors' ;
Omaha Hydraulic Press Brick company ;
Howard Medicine company , Lincoln ; Lin
coln Coffco and Splco mills ; Lincoln Packing
and Provision company ; Phil J. Stlmmel ,
seeds , Omaha. This makes a total of fifteen
now members admitted during the present
month.
Secretary Holmes stated that ho had
spent all his spare time calling upon the re-
. tall merchants of the stato. Ho visited 150
merchants { during the month and argued the
homo : patronngo question with them. Ho
was generally well received by the merchants -
chants : , who seemed to appreciate the Im
portance of patronizing homo Industries.
Many of the merchants expressed n wllllne-
ncss to commence handling Nebraska goods.
Mr. Kibbo of the Western Tinware Manu
facturing company said that ho had been
out on n trip Into the stnto slnco Mr. Holmes
had mndo his trip and that ho could testify
to j the good results of his work. Ho found
that t merchants who had formerly been luke
warm toward the homo manufacturers wcro
more ready to put in Nebraska goods.

The statement was certilied to by Samuel
lloes , chairman of the llnanco committee.
Tlio action of the executive committee In
sending the secretary out into the state was
approved J , and it was the scnso of the meetIng -
Ing that the work should be continued.
.Tho question of issuing a catalogue giving
a list of articles manufactured by members
was thoroughly discussed. The majority of
f the members nppeai-ed to bo in favor of work
ing . on the consumer , who will lullucnco tlio
dealer to carry Nebraska goods. A number
of members spoke of the necessity of induc
ing the consumers of the stnto to ask for Ne
braska made goods. The question was finally
referred to the executive committee with
power to act.
D. W. Shull reported that nt the request
of the secretary ho had looked for a location
for an exposition building. The block in
question is located between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets and between Howard and
Jackson streets. Ono or two of tlio parties
owning property in the block asked too much ,
but they might bo induced to come down tea
a reasonable price. Ho had nn idea that the
city should take tlio matter up and build
n market house nnd exposition building com
bined. Mr. Davis said that the scheme was
good ono nnd that ho had nlwnys boon in
favor of a market house. Such n proposition
would have to come up .before the people to
vote bonds and nothing could be done In that
direction in tlmo for this year's exposition.
However , the general opinion appeared to
bo that nn exposition should bo hold because
there was no hotter jrjvy of Interesting nnd
educating the public urp.ttronlr.o Nebraska
made poods. Anolhcr ti lnt brought up was
that If the association dhl not hold an exhibit
the public would become tuko warm nnd lose
Interest In the work of the association.
Several loiters wcro receive * ! from members
outside of Omaha approving of an ex-
position. Almost every member present
expressed confldciiivj. , In the success of
an exposition and such expressions
as "wo will bo In " " "
, "you can count on us ,
"wo will go Into It heavier than last tlmo , "
etc. , wcro heard on orrery side. It was de
cided to hold an exposition In Omaha pro
vided a sultablo building can bo secured.
The executive committee was empowered to
select such dates ns ihriy thought best , cither
In Mayor Juno , for tlid holding of the ex-
jKisltlon.
President Page stated that the manufac
turers of Lincoln wore talking about holding
n winter exposition In that city for the purpose -
pose of Increasing the interest in homo in *
dustrlcs ,
Mr. Powers , manufacturer of cooperage
goods , explained the situation nt the Lincoln
penitentiary regarding convict labor. Ac
cording to his statement Nebraska is not
getting as much for the labor of her convicts
ns other states. Hoouldliko to sco the
goods made in a penitentiary branded , so that
every one would know thnt the goods were
made by convict labor , Members appeared
to think that the whole scheme of convict
labor Is wrong. It was moved nnd carried
thnt the sense of the mooting Is that Ne
braska should receive ns much for the labor
of her convicts ns other states , and that nil
goods made in the penitentiary should bo
branded ns such.
At the close of the general meeting n spe
cial meeting of the directors was called for
the purpose of revising or adding to the by
laws so as to provide for the disposition of
such members as do not pay their dues. It
appears that ono or two of the
directors of the association have
cither gone out of business or have
absented themselves from the mcotings and
have not paid their dues. Several members
said thnt they did not believe that It ought
to be necessary for the secretary to call upon
members to collect their dues that n mem
ber who did not pay his dues was not worth
having. It was decided to turn over the ac
counts of delinquent members to the attor
ney of the association for collection. Fur
thermore thnt members who are delinquent
for three months dues or moro may bo
dropped from the roll of membership.
A letter was rend from the Poycko Candy
company stating that it had decided to move
to Chicago and wished to resign from the
association.

Lo < ux , la. , Jan. 20. To the Editor of Tun
BF.F. : In Tut : Hni ; of the .Mth Inst. In re
ferring to the vacancy on the supreme bench
caused by the death of Justice I .a mar , you
advance the theory that In view of th >
short tune till President Harrison steps
down and out , he probably will leave the ap
pointment of n successor for Cleveland , and
TUB DKI : seems to rather favor such u
course. If my memory serves me right Mr.
Cleveland took Lamnr from his cabinet in
January , ISS'.i ' , and gave him the position ho
has held until his death n few days ago , and
the republican senate confirmed the appoint
ment.
If it was proper for Cleveland so shortly
before the expiration of his term In the
presidency to thus fix his friend Lamar in n
congenial und highly honorable position for
llfo. why should not Harrison do likewise ,
provided , always , that the appointee be ono
whoso eminent fitness commends him for the
