Mr. SCHENCK. Well, let it pass over to my friendfrom Illinois. I think it is well that. we should legislate upon this subject. In the 1st place, so far as my original amendment is concerned, I am not satisfied with the explanation made by the chairman of the ComPubBldg and Public Grounds, that we ought on that account to refrain from pass in some rule that should be binding upon this subject; because, as I said before, we had the same assurance last year that if we would let alone those that were in charge of the Ca i:01 as architects, the commiss our of Pub o I agree to privileges to various persons. Buildings would see that this nuisance was abated. it is not done. We are told now that there is a new architect, who in the matter of taste entirely concurs with what seems to be the prevailing judgment and wish of this House. If so, of course so much the better, for, as he concurs with the views of the House on that subject, he will willingly obey the rule when we lay it down to him. There is no harm done in directing it; there might be in omit ting it. By directin it we have in the present architect one who wiTl at once obey the order, while by failing to do so We might possibly have some delay that we need not wish to be subjected to. Then so far as regards the removal of these stands for the sale of apples, gingernuts, and drinks of various kinds, to say nothing of deer skins and California curiosities, the Speaker has explained to us that he has yielded against his own better judgment and granted these Now, then, as we come to the aid 9f the good taste of the architect in backin him up by assing. as I hope we shall, the rst portion of the amendment, let. us also protect the Speaker against his own amiability. He will wi lingly obey us just as the architect does. But I fear that the architect under outside influences, and the Speaker under the influence of his amiability and every one knows how kindhearted he ismay be induced by the pressing solicitation of his friends, or by the parties themselves, to do that which he will fee glad not to have to do. If we make it a matter of legislation, he cannot yield to his amiable impulses by allowing an otfense against the law.
