THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1893,
WALL MUS
The Senator from Indiana Moved
Continuous Session.
A QUOaUH KEPr TflEIE SEAT3.
At Four In tl»e Morning They Were on
Hand <111 <1 Were LUtenhig to Mr.
Allen Who Had Spoken for
Twelve hong Xlourn,
Washington, Oct. 13.—As had boon
announced, the continuous sitting of the
senate was inaugurated Wednesday even
ing, and all night long that body held
their seats and listened to the Nebraska
senator, who took the floor at the close
of Senator Cockrell's speech.
At 5:15 o'clock Mr. Cockrell completed
his long speech. His voice was nearly
gone, and he could only shake his head
in response to the inquiry of the vice-
president as to whether he had com
pleted his remarks.
After some routine business Mr. Al
len, Populist, of Nebraska, took the floor
to continue his speech. Mr. Allen was
still speaking when, at 6.05 o’clock, Mr.
Dubois, Republican, of Idaho, rose, and
Mr. Allen yielded the floor to him. He
observed that it was 0 o’clock, the hour
* when the senate usually adjourned. He
asked the senator from Indiana, Mr.
Voorhees, whether he was going to make
that motion this evening.
*'I feel it my highest duty,” said Mr.
Vorhees, not to make that motion this
evening, but on the contrary to ' ask the
senate to stay together in continuous ses
sion until the pending measure is dis
posed of.”
Mr. Dubois said the statement of the
senator from Indiana meant Aliat the
senate was to Ire held in continuous ses
sion until the pending bill was brought
to a vote or until it was demonstrated
that it could not be brought to a vote.
He said there had been no attempt at fil
ibustering on the part of the opponents
of repeal.
Mr. Vioorliees replied at great length.
He suggested to Mr. Dubois the wisdom
of saying 4 -let not linn that girdeth on
his armor boast himself as he that put-
teth it off." -We will see who fails in
. this transaction before we are done,”
'said Mr. Voorhees. “I feel that my feet
dre.on a rock, and there I shall stand
and vindicate a great and mighty prin
ciple. But before I say a word on that
subject I will ask the senator from Idaho
whether he will fix a date to take a
vote.”
Mr. Dubois said there were distin
guished senators who had not talked on
the subject, and he could not, nor could
any one say when the debate would
probably close.
Mr. Voorhees started to press the
question further, but apparently changed
bis mind and said: •• Without pressiug
the senator from Idaho, I understand
the situation perfectly well. There will
be no day named; If there could be a
day named by the opponents of this bill,
we could come to an understanding di
rectly. It is because obstruction is re
sorted to, pure and simple, against legist
lation that we are in the attitude we are
now. We regret exceedingly to have to
resort to the methods now before us.”
Mr. Hoar observed that continuous
sessions were not an innovation, recall
ing the fact that the Bland-Allison bill
was passed about 5 o’clock in the morn
ing.
Mr. Voorhees said this episode in the'
history of the senate would result in re
forming the rules of the body. At the
proper time—not in connection with'a
heated discussion—he would vote for
some measure by which a determination
. of a question could be reached. Other
wise the body would lose its proper in
fluence and standing before the Ameri
can people and liefore the world, said
Mr. Voorhees, **I ltelieve this lxnly
should have rules by which to conclude
discussion and reach a vote, higher,
more reasonable, more sensible and more
decent than the role on which we are
entering now, which is the only one. The
opponents of this bill will not name any
day for a vote. They will resort to dila
tory measures to prevent action being
taken at all. Who is to quit? Sir, 1
would rather be carried from this desk
feet foremost and put to sleep at my
home in Terre Hante forever, than to
yield the principle that the majority has
a right to govern. I stand here for the
highest principle of free government
known to history.”
Senator vCuuluded his spec* h n
the strops of 8 o clock, having bw£ n
the floor 14 hours and 45 minutes. Wbci.
he finished his eyes were as clear, lu-.
voice aa strong and his gestures as vig
orous as when he took the floor.
His speech breaks all previous rec
ords, and his powers of endurance won
for him the admiration of those oppose!

Prff» t's Amendment Tabled.
At the contusion of Mr. Allen's speech.
Mr. Voorhees moved to lay the Peffer
amendment on the table.
Mr. Wolcott suggested that no quo
rum was present; but 46 senators were
found to be in the hall.
The vote resulted—yeas. 29; nays 12.
^ cal^ was ordered, and 45 answered
During the caii of the roll Mr. Dubois
refused to vote. His excuse was ren
dered, and was rejected by the senate,
still he refused to vote when his name
was called again and again. ^

Meanwhile the tension was relieved by
the announcement that the Peffer
amendment Was tabled,yeas, 33; nays,IT.
The following is the vote in detail: -

complete free coinage act in itself, I
was intended to supplement the repeal
paragraph of the Voorhees hill.
The amendment prescribed the pro
portion® and weig?it of gold and silver
coins to be coined herealter and the na
ture of the alloy, and provided the nec
essary machinery for the execution of
its purpose, namely, the free coinage of
both gold and silver.
The vote having l)eea announced, Mr.
Voorhees remarked that the only other
amendment pending to the house bill
was the amendment reported from, the
finance committee.
_ “What has become of all the other
amendments that have been offered?”
Mr. Butler inquired.
“There have been none others offered,”
3Ir. Voorhees replied. “There have
been notices of amendments given.”
Mr. Martin, of Kansas, then addressed
the senate in favor of free coinage.
In the House.
Washington, Oct. 13.—In the course
of the morning business in the house,
there was a small controversy over the
number of copies of the ways and means
tariff hearings to be printed, but the
printing committee's recommendation
(2,000 copies) was finally accepted.
The Flynn resolution, fixing the qual
ification of Cherokee strip citizens, was
adopted, and the house took up the bill
to protect forest reservations.
Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the
Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, lias
found what he believes to be the best
remedy in existence for the' flux. His
experience is well worth remembering.
He says; “Last summer I had a 'very
severe attack of the flux. I tried al
most every known remedy, none giving
relief. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended
to me. I purchased a bottle and re
ceived almost immediate relief. I con
tinued to use the medicine and was en
tirely cured. I take pleasure in recom
mending this remedy to any person suf
fering with such a dise^e, as in my
opinion it is the best remedy in exist
ence.” 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale
