IN THE HOUSE. A resolution reporied from th* crtmmt'Jtee on pules to the hoiee to Incorporate in the sundry civil bill ai paragraph transfer ring the Fort Leavenworth Orwell ferring the Fort Leavenworth' prison from the war department to the de partment of Justice was agreed to. Tine house then went into committee of the whole on the currency bill, and M,r. Sibley (Democrat) of ■Pennsylva nia opened the debase with a sensa tional speech dn opposition to the bill. He spoke of the passage of the bill to rapes* tile purchasing clause of the Sherman low and Its failure to Im prove the flnnsnctal and commercial conditions despite' the assurances to the contrary of its advocates, and ex pressed his belief that the pension bill would llkuwlse prove a failure. Referring to the published reports that the executive department of the government In tho person at the secre tary of the treasury, wus using Its power ito Influence votes in favor of the bill, Mr. Slbely said: “Mr. Chairman, If I have read the constitution of the United States cor- recty. It defines the powers and duties of Khe chief executive and the powers und duties at the members of the house, and I tell you that It ever a rebuke was needed to ono who has trampled down the prerogatives at the people 1t Is to that man who has used his in fluence, or attempted to use It, to cre ate In hlmsriJf the sole governing power of this nation. It has come to a time when the government of this people re quires something more than a combi nation of brains and brass.” (Sensation and applause.) Mr.. Sibley continued nt some length to assail the administration for Its at titude toward and action upon flnan- cka lmeasures. The repeal of the pur chasing clause of the Sherman law, he asserted. bsM been secured by the use of Improper Influence by the adminis tration, and that If the punKocka were Liken off the mouth# of the representa tives four obt at five would confirm Ilia statements. The question of tlie length of time he was to speak having been pdssed, Mr. Sibley saH that every agent of tho big gold trust had spoken stl be had to say. When pressed by Mr. OutMwalto to tell who put a padCook upon hts (Sib ley’s) lips, he sold: "Let tno tell the gentleman that 1 am net talking today to men who bolievt In going to hdl in a hand cart instead of heaven, support ed by truth. Let ms teH him also that I aim not odd reusing men who believe more in • bobtail flush than a contrite honor.” Sir. Pence (Populist) of Colorado asked unanimous consent that Mr. Sib ley be permitted to flash his remarks, but Mr. Outhwoltc objected. Recurring to the action of the ad ministration. Mr. Sibley said that, paragraphing Junius, It could be set tled that the merits of nn administra tion might be Judged by the condition of the prep**. "Look upon the condi tion of the people of tMs country and you can ten the merits of your admin istration." Mr. Stbtey declared that by the stand ards of the fathers, he believed he was a Democrat. iHe revered Jefferson and Jackson and worshiped at their shrine. But If be was to be carried In a con veyance lawHed "Democracy," guided by an obstinate driver, ovw an un known road, with precipices and chasms yawning on all sides he was gntng to Jump out, and hn was nut particular as to whore he lit. Mr. Sibley's thrusts' at the president seemed to be enjoyed by quite a num ber of representatives, and when he concfiUdod there was it round of ap plause. While he waa speaking. Sena tor Cameron (Republican) of Pennsyl vania and Stewart (Populist) of Ne vada came kite the house and re mained to hear him. •Mr. Bland (Democrat) of Missouri and Mr. Johnson (Democrat) of Ohio also spoke In opposition to the bill, aided by Mr. Coffey (Demnorat) of Wyoming and Mr. C. W. Long (Re publican) of Pennsylvania. Tho only speech tn Us favor was made by Mr. Cox (Democrat) of Tenneaae, a mem ber of the committee on banking and currency. Ho said that if Mr. Sibley know of any member who had sold bis vote for partonage, or anything else, it was bia duly to expose and vote to expel him. Mr. Cox wws the last name on the list of the chairman who wanttxl to speak In favor of the MU, but there remains quite a number who had asked to be heard against it. Mr. Beltxboover (Democrat) of Penn sylvania gave notice of an additional section bn would offer as on amend ment to the hill authorising the secre tary at tbe treasury to sell »MO,000,000 of 5-26-year I per cent, bonds with the proceeds at which to retire tbe green backs and treasury notes and fund tho floating Indebtedness of the govern ment.

In tbe language cf Baker’s dhlef adviser, “the only difference between the Atlanta police and the New Yorkers Is that In Atlanta they can be bought cheaper.” It is predicted by those well acquaint ed with the rituatlon that there wl’.l be some Mg fish exposed If the ltd Is lifted dear off, and Judging by the character of the charges lodged against laker there Is every dhance that this 1 be done. A fair Idea of the ease i be bod from the official charges made against Baker, the present clerk of the recorder's court, by Chief Detec tive'Wright, who is acting under the advice of Chairman English. In these charges Chief Wright says Baker wns in War saloon business on Woodward avenue, near Terry street, tbre; or four years ago. until council refuted to grant license allowing oeer to be »>!d on that stri ct. He then went with Mr Bill HaH tn tbe bar and billiard butl ness In tlie National Hotel some three years age.

Washington, Jan. 8.—The court of ap- poals of the District of Columbia, through Justice Shepard, today dellvored an opinion affirming tho decision of Judge McComaa In the district circuit court, refusing to grant the appllcaUon of Miles Planting and Manufacturing Company of Louisians for a mandamus to /-ompel the ' secretary of the treasury end the com missioners of Internal revenue to makn an examination of the sugar produced by the company, preliminary to the su gar bounty for IKK, which Secretory Carlisle refused to pay on the ground that the new tariff law repealed the bounty provision ot the McKinley set. The case Is an Important one. Involving the constitutionality of bounties and of the now tariff law. The mist Interest ing f«aturs of the court's opinion is Its practical declaration that the granting of bounties Is unconstituUonaL Upon tfhe question of constitutional ity the court says: The power of congress to pay boun ties to owners or producers In order to encourage the manufacture or pro duction of an article has never been passed upon by the courts, but the principle whtdh underlies the question, and upon which Its solution depends, has. In the opinion of the court, been In the court nt last resort in such Oases, parttciCariy In the celebrated opinion ot Justice -Milieu, holding that the government cannot take property from citizens to bestow it on indi viduals.” Quotations from a number of opin ions in support of this doctrine are given to the court. "The power to give the bounty to producers of sugar must, as we have seen, be determined by the general grant of the first clause of section 8 of article 1 of the constitution.'’ Tlie court, thinks It would be a causeless consumption of time to enter upon a decision of th* Interpellation ot the language containril in this douse, nor Is It necessary to do so. Still, It says, the question remains: "Is the grant <K iv bounty to producers of sugar a con stitutional exercise of the power at tax ation as so understood? Tho court thinks that authorities cited cstsMtnh beyond question that the poster* of taxation In aB free governments like ours Is limited to piiblo objects and purposes governmental In their nature. No amount of tmddentnl puHIn good or benefit will be rendered valid by <he taxation or the appropriation ot reve nue to be derived therefrom for • pri vate purpose. If It be for the general welfare of the United States to en courage the production of sugar by tho grant of a bounty It I* hard to con ceive why the producers of corn, wh nt, cotton, wool, coal, iron, sliver ore, etc., might not be paid a bounty nlxo. "If congress," continue* the court, "bo conced'd the power to grant suh. sidle* from the public revenues to sill object* it may deem to be (or tv gen eral wo'fire, (hen It fallow* that this discretion, like the Met that rh1« 1* a government at ‘derogated, limited und enumerated powers' renders super fluous all the special delegations of power contained In the constitution arid opens tbe wtay tors flood of social istic legislation, the aperiaus plea for aH at Which bus ever -been ‘the general wsYare.' It Is a doctrine that we cannot to. Still less are we able to subscribe to s doctrine that legislation may be enacted by oongre** In pureuance of a national policy aisvlagoue to that adopted by Germany and France or by any other government on the face at the earth. There Is no Inhnrent sov ereignty In the general or In the elate government*. Tbe people are sorentgn. Certain powers of sovereignly they nave deieghted with a tree -hand, other* have been reserved. Legislation by tho asaesrih'.y of France or tbe rctahntag of Germany, where power I* unlimited, furnishes no proper preoadsnt for 1 art*' lotion In CMs cuuntry.” In coooluil'm the court nays that an acts granting drawbacks and bounties, no-matter-how ordered or devised, tvvvo met with determined opposition and de nial of porweT at alt time*, and It can not be said that they eve Received general consent or acquiescence. Thu fact that mnnlea More oftaa Mas paid out under nets of duUbtfu! or ques tionable validity can have no great weight under ft sywem where tho qu**flon, -by reason of dimrutties al luded to In tbe opinion, te so head to be raised In an effective manner. "But If three bad been a practice by congress," says the court, "uniform and generally acquiesced In, our opin ion Is ao clearly against tho validity of lids act that we oosaM not be anntrdlln! by It In the performance of cur duty. No demand, no acquiescence, no estop pel runs against the people undor tbe protection of our written eonatttritton.
