The FITZ-JOHN PORTER bill passed
the Senate last Friday by vote of 50
to %. a very decided majority. y
slight change in the bill will necesSitate
its return to the House where, in spite
of extreme parliamentary opposition
from the republicans, it will be adopted.
The president is said to favor the bill.
Senator LOGAN made a characteristic
speech against the measure, but his
political rage was impotent. Senator
SABIN. of Minnesota. chairman Of the
republican national committee, vo-
ted for the bill, and open threats
are made that he will be forced to
resign his position because of that
action. But it may be comforting to
some to learn that the past record of the
republican party is not calculated to
make one believe that millionaires are
kicked out of the party. Senator SABTN
may give Offense, but SO long as his
''bar'l'' is on tap he is perfectly safe.
Senators HOAR, Of Massachusetts,, and
PIKE, of New Hampshire, are two other
illustrious republicans who voted for the
bill. PORTER will be vindicated and
re-instated, but LOGAN will never be in
augurated. That's the difference.
