Then Mr, Danicl attacked the civil service system itself as being u American, unrepublican and undemoerati While hio regretted the defeat of tue adwinis- tration, he felt therc uld b some consolation in it 1f the incoming ad ministration should effect no modern machine system of pointments, He hoped it would lead the government back to the old prineiple in which the people were rec nized us having a right to- share in the po ple's oftices.

He had not favored it as it had passed house, the amendments which had placed upon it having served to cmasculate it. They nud been incorporated on the idea that the United States should be freo from en- tangling uliiances, and that it should isolat itself. “The duy for isolation had passed Voices from all parts of the world were warning tho United States of this—voices from the Isthmus, from wada, from Samon, from wherever foreign nations bad pianted their flag: The at- tempt to make it impracticable for American enterprise to plant itself in for. eign countries was too late.

He had no extreme scnsitiveness concerning bondholders. The trouble with the American people was lack of self-assertion, They were continually quibbling, and afraid to do this or that—afraid of tho counsequences. The greatest nation on the earth should be the first to lead in grand enterprises, and con- servative, moss-back statesmen need not be alarmed. Mr. Scott of Pennsylvanin said that the geutleman fromt Alabama (Cobb) had sup- vlewented his constitutional argument by an expression of the interest he took in the lawbs of Europe, and of the fear that con- s8 would do something by which those lambs would be unveigled into investment and lose ftheir, money, If the lambs of Iurope, as repre. sented by the Rothschilds, Barings aud other great banking houses, were not able to take take care of themselves and look out for their own investients, he did not think the (’:uum*«s of the United States could help them. Mr. Clardy of Missouri closed the debato in support of the conference report, and it was ugreed to —yeas 177, nays 60, Tne house then took a recess, the evening session to be for the consideration of bills re- ported from the committee on Indian affairs. At the evening session Mr. Peel of Ar- kansas called up the house bill to divide a portion of the reservation of the Sioux In- dians in Dakota in scperate reservations, nd to secure a relinquishment of the Indian itle to the remainder. Ou motion of Mr. Morrill of Kansas amendments w adopted, making slight changes in the boundary lines of the pro- posed reservation, striking out the allot ments to the Santee Sioux tribe in No braska, increasing from 50 cents to $i per fcre, the amount to be paid the Flandreau Sioux Indians in licu of allot ments, requiring patents to Indian lands dis- posed of to settlers to be placed in custody of the proper person npon the reservation, subject to inspection, and increasing allot: ments to Indians in severalty from one-quar- ter section to 820 ucres, Mr. I’ayson of Illinois made a strong argu- ment in favor of exempting honorably dis- charged union soldiers and sailors from pay- ment of the sums required to be paid by sottlers upon lands surrender by the In dians, and offcred an amendment to carry out that view, Mr. Breckenridge of Kentucky moved to further amend the bill so as to relieve all settlers from payment upon thoir entries. Upon Mr. Payson’s suggestion, these two amendments were held to be pending, with the understanding that a vols be taken on them to-morrow. Mr. Payson also secured the adoption of an amendment relating to the seloction of town sites similar in terms to that added to the Oklahoma bill. After a fow other unimportant changes had been made, the previous question was ordered and the bl laid aside until to-mor- TOW. § Among the bills passed were the follow- ng : Elvstituto for the senate bill in relation to dead and fallen timber on Indian lands; granting to the St. Paul, Manitoba & Minno- sota railroad company a right-of-way through the Whito Earth reservation, Minnesota; for the disposilion of agricultuel lauds in the Iipestone_ rescrvation, Minnesota; granting to the Yaunkton Missouri Valle railroad company a right-of-way through tk Yanktou reservation, Dakota.
