The Debate on the Mexican Reunion
Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June l3.-Owing
to the probability of a protracted debate
on the Mexican pension bill caucus of
Republican Senators was held this morn
ing, and after long discussion it was
decided to appoint committee on
amendments. 1t is understood that the
committee is to supervise and have gen.
eral charge of any amendments which
members of the majority may desire to
offer Considerable anxiety exists re-
speeding the debate which is likely to-
arise on the bill, and an understanding
was reached by the majority that it may
continue some days. Thus far the Demo-
Gratis have refrained from the discussion
of the amendments offered, but it is ex-
pected that they will BE- heard from be-
fore the debate closes.

INTENDS TO HAUNT THEM.
A Reckless Suicide Frightens His Rela.
tives by Note,

BALTIMORE, Md, June IS. Frank
Storie, formerly prominent citizen, but
lately reduced in circumstances, com.
mitted suicide under peculiar circum-
stances this morning, evidently while
out of his mind He called at the resi-
dence of his brother-in-law, Z. Mittan,
and startled the family by saying that he
had come there to suicide. They quickly
ousted him from the premises,
whereupon he went to one of the city
reservoirs and sitting on the rail deliber-
ately wrote note in his memorandum
book which he left on the bank and
jumped in, The note is addressed to his
brothers-in-law, cheerfully informing
them that he intends to come back and
haunt them. His relatives seem greatly
worried over this announcement. The
body has been recovered.

new indictments must be found.
After consultation new indictments were
found and in the meantime the statute

combination. Knew nothing about the
evidence in the other cases, but was ia
miliar with the Brady and Dorsey case,
and didn't think there was a stronger
case anywhere. The evidence in this
case was all that any reasonable man

THE MORAL VIEW OF IT.

A New York Preacher on the Per-
sonal Purity Issue-The Election OF
Cleveland National shame and
Disgrace.
Extract from Late Sermon bv Rep. W. II, Vincent
1t is worth inquiring, in the light of
certain public utterances Of the day,
if wo arc in nowise under the power Of
that atrocious sentiment that the public
character of candidate is not to enter
into the question Of his fitness for office.
If such is our thought, can only say
tnat God is directly against us. The
whole testimony OF His written word,
like a heavy charged thundercloud, dis
charges its bolts ut bad voters. Moreover,
In the very nature of the case II is i'm
possible to separate personal character
from moral function. The essense OF
authority is person ality, and personality
implies character. If IL were possible for
q man to separate himself from his office,
that fact alone would prove him unfit
for Office. Government might almost
as well be confdcd to cabi-
net of automatons. What a
ruler is will inevitably get into his
measures and decrecs and set q mark
upon them Ho cannot be narrow.
aud selfish and grasping and his admin
istration noble and broad and liberal. He
cannot be coward aud his policy brave
aud manly. He cannot be lewd and dis
solute and his public influence pure and
heslthful. So that a man in authority
must exert moral influences. His posi-
tiOn is point OF moral power whether he
will have IL so or not. The head Of the
republic stands in blazo Of light. His
personal habits, his conversation, his
appearance and dress, his anecdotes, the
details Of his domestic life, are discussed
and quoted and commented upon in the
far-otf farmhouses and in tho village tav-
orns and groceries.
"The simple fact, known as all other
facts of his life, is that the weight of his
authority is thrown into the scale on tho
side of vice. The fact tells on social
morality, and tells disastrously. 1t pulls
out one Of the strongest phrases from
from what is none too firm already. The
example gets down into schools and
among colleges, and goes to weaken the
respect for virtue among the youth. II
takes all the force out of anything that
the administration may have to say in
the interest of public morals. 1t even
raises the doubt what the precise attitude
will be toward such questions. We can
not for moment afford to entertain the
doctrine that personal depravity is COM
patible with q pure ana wholesome ad
ministraton Of great public truth. The
doctrine is false, and like all false thing
is dangerous. The teachers of the public
press help on that reproach when they
openly plead that moral depravity is nj
disqualification for the discharge of the
most sacred trusts of government.

Employees of the government in this
city who are desrous of exercising the
elective franchise at the approaching
election, but who are in doubt as to their
right to vote, are informed that they
have not lost their domicile in the states
unless they have formally taken up per
manent residence in the District of
Columbia. The fact that they have
removed their families to this city and
pay taxes here does not disfrlnchise
them. They cannot lawfully be denied
the right to vote at their former place of
residence. This has been decided by the
courts in great many cases. 1t is held
to be the law by democrats and republi-
cans alike.
A petition signed by large number of
government employees asking for the pas.
sage of law to protect them and Others
of their class in their right of franchise
in their several states, Notwithstanding
their temporary absence in the discharge
of their duties, was presented TO the
forty-third congress, and referred to the
judiciary committee OF the house for
consideration. Mr.. Finck democrat -,
from the judiciary committee, made the
following report on the subject, the find.
ing boing universally accepted as being
conclusive, aud founded on good law and
sound logic:
The committee entertain no doubt whatever
that persons who come into the District OF Co.
lumbia for temporary purposes merely for dis.
charge Of duties Of clerkships or any other
employment under the government, without
any intention of abandoning their former
place Of residence, do not forfeit their former
citizenship, but continue to be entitled TO the
full exercise oftho right of franchise, in the
same manner as if they had not so come into
this district; that no legislation is necessary
on this subject, and ask to be discharged from
the further consideration of said petition.

The National Wine, Liquor, and Beer
Dealers convention, held at Syracuse,
N. Y, adopted the following preamble
and resolution, which is respectfully re-
ferr d to that late convert to democracy,
81. John. for his perusal: .,....
Whereas the law regulating the sale OF
malt and spirituous liquors is governed by
laws of each state of the union, and by the
constitution of the United Statesfs left TO the
states entirely; therefore -
RcSOired, That all questions relating to ma.
tional politics be excluded from the considera-
tion Of this convention.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, in com.
mon with all true friends of temperance,
and in common with sensible men of all
parties and lines of business, holds to the
belief that the liquor question has no
place in national politics. Those who
think differently will probably cast their
votes for st. John.

The second Of the series of grand hang
ing staircases in the new city hall in
Philadelphia is now nearing completion.
The first one has been finished some time,
and has been one Of the features most
noticed by visitors to tho building. In
the completed staircase there arc 13O
steps and twenty platforms, reaching
from the basement to tho fifth story. a
height of about eighty.hve feet. The
first three steps are cut out of one piece
of stone and rest upon a deep and sub
stantial foundation. The platforms alone
in each stairway weigh 32O tons. Two
more Of the stairways in the northern
corners remain to be built. The one
finished cost about 100000, aud the
Others will cost that or little more.
