Cox, wlio wnn just then very luticli inloresled in tlin whipping 1,111, which ho rcKarded of vnbtly greater Importanco to tlio coun try Hutu tbo Pendleton bill, nnd who wanted to get tbu civil-Horvlco-reform nonsenne out of tlio way an noon an doh- slide, accepted tlio challenge- in a spirit 01 inirlCMiitio bravado, and moved for Hie paMnagu of tbo Pendleton bill with out debate. Tlio CoiiL'icnsIonnl Record telln tho story: Cox I bellovo it is tbo opinion of (ho majority of this Iioiiho that tlio shipping bill Is of far more Importanco than even tbu civil-sorvlco-reforin bill. Now, I propone, In nood fallb, to my frioiid from IowafKuHHon, liiusimich as thero bus already been nn extended debate 011 Ibis bill in the senate, that wo now forego tnu (lulmto In the bonne, and at ouco put tbo Pendleton bill on IU passage. Ap plause, Many members on both sides of the house That is right. Vote I Vote I Kasson Now let the bill bo read. Cox ! make the nronosltlon to un friend fioin Iowa to put tbu Pendleton bill 011 its passu go now without debate. Kasson Lot the bill bo lead. Cox Lot the bill bo read, and let us have a vote on It to-day, with a view to proceeding to thu practical business of tlio buusu; that is, the appropriation bills, the shipping bills, and other bills of importance. Kasson 1 notice that several gontlu men huvo arisen on thu other sido of the Iioubo ns if to protest ugainst that io M')HiUou. Is thu gentleman nutnorizcti tu speuk for that sidu? Several members Yes, yes. Cox 1 do not proiKjoo to speak for any side of the liouso; I submit tbo pro- K)illon to both sides. Tho bill was read, Kasson moved tbo previous ijueHtlon on it, and democratic members, catching thu spirit of Cox's joke, tumbled over each other in their eagerness to push tho eivil-Borvice-re-forin witticism to nti immediate vote. Even under tbo gag law applied by tbo republicans, tho bill was subject to de bate for 30 minutes. Reagan of Texas occupied part o( tho time in a serious at tempt to show thu democrats- that tboy wore being cheated. "1 will not voto under pressure for this bill," bo said. Hilary A. Herbert of Alabama hilari ously remarked that be knew tlio bill was a humbug, but that ho should voto for it, because, us ho said, "no repub lican shall got ahead of mo in condemn ing his own methods." Thero wore a few mora short sjieeches, nnd then a voto came to relieve tho impatience of the democrats, who believed that tho ipilckest way to stop tho everlasting howling of tiio Estonians was to give them what they wanted nnd pass on to matters of practical importanco. Republican spoilsmen nnd democratic humorists united in helping Cox in get ting civll-sorvico reform out of tho way. James llucophalus llolford, tho red heudetl eagle of tho Rocky mountains, voted for the bill. Julius Ciesar Eur rotts Voted for it, with a grin on the seamy slilu ot ins iranx countenance. Kamucl Sullivan Cox voted for it, chuck ling Inwardly. Tom Reed voted for it, looking moro llko William Shakespeare than over. Even Peeor Robeson's voto helped to luiston the era of pnro polities. Thu l'endleton bill passed tho liouso by an overwhelming mujoiity. So Cox hud his little joke, and tlio democratic party Is now enjoying It.
