Mr Adams is preparing a minoritv

is "An act to limit the effect of the
regulation of commerce between the sev

in certain cases " In presenting the sub

resident importer without congressional
pet mission As interpreted bj the court,
the ptovisionof the constitution concern
ing the regulation of 'commetce among the
several states' is ver appuent The pie
vailing opinion had been, perlnps, that
the commercial el iusc of the const ltu
tion consisted in the s lie of articles
of commerce sittnted in one st ite to
the inhabitants of another stite and their
tr msport ition and deliv er to purchasers

other state without anj contract for its

this latter tew appears to be etroueous,
so that a state, in the absence of congres
sional peimission, is powerless to eufoice

ot tne welfate of the citizens would be
promoted b such regul tt'on

was doubtless in view of the ver generil

judgment of this committee fails to meet

7cn of a state to purchase abroad any

The power of congress to en ict laws of
this character can hnrdly be doubted It is
empowered to 'regulate commerce
among the several states and with for
eign nations ' Anv enactment w Inch es
tablishes a rule tor the uqv eminent of
commerce of that cnaracter, is a 'regula
tion within the meaning of the coustitu
tion and the bill clearl.. would have that
effect In the judgment of this committee
it would be much easier to enact a ueneral
law applicable to ail articles of commerce
than to meet the extngency with reference
to pirticular articles .is ir may anse, as
would be the polic of the senate." For that
reason we have recommenced the accom
panying substitute-as an amendment, and
it is the opinion ot the committee that the

the underling principle of religion as pre
sented so well in the work otthe assembl
He had a wonderful facult of interesting

wa s an anecdote to illustrate the circum
stauces He spoke earnestlv tothejouug
people, reminding them that the his
tory the read about the leaving
of home" and he irtrending scenes
from loved ones gave them a ver fine idea
of scenes on the b ittlo fields and he would

limb or a wrecked life He had no s m
pathv w ith those vv ho w ere crv ing about
the bankruptc of the treasury The
amount is paid to our own people and
1 lrgely out of the fund contributed by

A fine floral offering was sent to the

ciating it, although he thought it hard
upon President Ha es, Governor Anthon
and Dr Millnei
I he Hon Mr Perdue was introduced as
a Missounan but, not having been born in
Missouri and being a citi7en of "Wyan
dotte count, he repelled the "sof t im
peachment " he was not in the war but
considered it the greatest honor ever con
ferred to have helped in sav mg the union
LoalU and nationahtv are the central
pillars upon which the greatness of this
nation rests Even soldier deserved the
reward of his sacrifices and services
Speaking of the v ast assemblage here and
the work being done, hi said ' When the
results of the present census are know n.
there will be slio vn a great decrease in the
uliterac of Kansas
Gineral A. McCook, of Leavenworth,
commander of the Lovil Lemon com-
mandr of the state of Kansas, took oil his
cap to tne commanuer m cinel and ev-
Presulcnt Haes He said there could lie
no politics in either the G. A It or the
Loval Legion, but there must be a full
measure of p itnotism A fl ig should not
onl waveoneverv school house, but on
over church, andold soldier should rais
it in the morning and takeitdovvn.it
night In his iddress, he sung a cry
eflictivel a song "The Bed, White and
Blue, the'Flag ot the Coustellation "
h--IT.ESIDtT H Vi ES SPEAKS
The distinguished visitors were dined
nt the Hamblin house and returned to the
rendezvous An immense audience was
jammed into and around the tabernacle
to hear ex President Hayes He asked
their attention to some fragments and
facts relating to the obligation of our
countr to the men on land anrl sea vv ho
saved the countr in the time of danger
When the war ended, more than twentv
five vears ago the countrj was plainly
under great obligations to a good man of
its citizens There were man difficult
questions which tho people offer and
statesmen were compelled to consider
The obligations were of two source
First, the men who hnd risked
money and property to aid the
government, second, thote who had risked
life and happiness and all thev possessed
in behalf of the countrx.
The first or money obligation had to be
first dealt with and It was i ver import
ant one The debt was very large and it
vv as drawing from 7 3 per ceut interest to
0 per cent, which was the lowest There
was 151,000 000 to pa in gold the first
jear There wre many good patriotic
urm who said the great debt could not be
paid, the great nations of the world never
did pay their debts, and it was not nece
sirv Then there w ere those w ho
said it could b cat down one-half
Instead of paying in gold let it
be paid in paper There was, however a
principal underlying the question. In the
state of Ohio in Ife.. we tried the question
of whether we should keep on oor promise
orpov in paper M opponent m the race
could make a very strong appeal to the
people, and it was'difilctilt to meet his ar
gument. He said the people wanted mon
he said T would find o..
ey more money, anu n i vvouhi aK ibem
Hut I dm mj
Dcst to peroiiaus tne people ma, weak as
the cation then was. it w.t strong cootagii
anu neb enough to t noneat. 1 tlhl not.
!wish to hiirgle and haggle about tbe t&t
ute, but desired to keep our word with
tbe creditors. .Many of the old
soldiers could not see why money
which was good enough to p taem was
not good enough for the crlitorw A!
though they seemed rather inclined to
favor the greenbacks they nearly all votd
for me and I aill go on arguing that tby
be paid their pennons in mone that U a-t
good u gold. We Iwve paid twenty four
hundred million of interest and a tboexwad
millions on the principal and there is o
little left thai we don tcare ranch whether
we pa It or not, and l--ides we caa pet
our money cheaper than any nation on toe
face of the eartn. It pay a nation to be
honest and sometimes an lodivkiaaL
We are now three times a rteli
and twice o.- nnraerous ad jet there
are come people suil -sayinK we Wtll bank
rapt tbe treasury if tbe -oidieo, rn patd.
The loodfest cry comes not from Um b&ar
people, who hare to help pay the mWa I
but from those who think they will be
ncher if the soldiers are not paid.
The pledge made to the soldier for his
services are just as distinct and as clear
and unmistakable as any pledge ever
made to a bondholder. There was not
a preacher in the pulpit but told us with
all the earnestness and eloquence he could
command that the work of the soldier
would never be forgotten. The plat
form speakers were equally as
earnest and so were the newspapers.
All parties agreeed that they should be
recompensed "and that great statesman
vv horn Prov idence selected m 1S63 in oue
of those wonderful messages which he
read to the American people repeated and
reiterated the same great truth Nor has
this sentiment changed since March 4,lsoa.
In thirteen states of this union there are
state homes for soldiers I am not quar
reling with the state homes, it is the nest
we can do, but w e did not fight for state
liws or state supremacv, out for the
whole nation and the "nation should
reward and thank the soldier. The state
of Massachusetts has spent sixty millions
for her old soldiers which ought to have
been spent by the southern states, in the
alms houses "and state institutions, who
should not be objects of charity, bnt pro
v nled for by the nation It is not as some
say, mone, mone all the time, but
justice we are after. We ask only for that
which is fur and right The questions are
Wh it was the job that was done How
much was it worth? Was it done well
It was a big one. The men and rulers
of England said it could mt be
done. There were S,000,000 against and
4,000,000 to provide for them when fighting
men at home also believed the job could
not be done, but we did it, and no other
vv ar known to history was ever so well ac
complished But then they began about
thedebt. It never could be paid. But the
Germans who bought our bonds knew bet
ter, and the English, capitalists vv ho bought
the confederate s bonds now know other
wise Some say our soldiers cost us more than
mi other nation ever did English his
tor shows the conqueror gave the soldier,
or at least the officers, the whole
country. What would have been
thought if the conquering soldiers
of 'tw had been given the whole United
States We do not want chmty but jus
tice and our rights, aud the nation can af
lord to give it
Ex Governor George T Anthony, in the
name of the ladies of the W. C T. L" , pre
sented to ex-President Haes an elegaut
floral offering as a memento of their ap
preciation of the great work of the noble
lad, Mrs Luc Webb Ha es The presi
dent was too much overcome to respond.
General Dev ol, of Kansas Citv , made a
short adtlress, after which Dr Milner,
president of the assemblv, closed the
twelfth annual session, which financially
andmeverv w.i has been a pronounced
success The distinguished v isitors left at
G o'clock.
