THE LAsKER RESOLUTION.
Members of the House Say BismarclS's In-
suit Must BE Resented.

suit Must BE Resented.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-The action of the
House, today shows that there is a very de
cded feeling against Bismarck because of the
latter's treatment of the Lasker resolution. Mr..
Deuster offered the resolution of the Liberal
League of the German Reichstag, saying that
Bismarck did not in his action, represent the
sentiments of the German people Mr. Deuster
presented these resolutions as a matter of privi-
lege. The Speaker ruled that they were not
privileged question. but the House unanimously
decided to allow thu discussion to continue.
This shows that the feeling of many members is
very warm. The resolution of the foreign affairs
committee when it is brought into the House.
will be found to speak in very strong terms
of condemnation. There is a good deal of criti
cism among members about the fippant way in
which this question has been treated in some
quarters. They say that it is a matter of the
greatest seriousness and the reatestimportance
it was an open insult to the House and must be
resented. Some members of the foreign affairs
committee are in favor of reporting a resolution
directing the recall of Minister Sargent and sus
pension of diplomatic relations with Germany.
If the foreign affairs committee does not report
such resolution, one will be introduced any
way. Minister Sargent is in bad odor and
many think it would be good idea to direct his
recall if diplomatic relations with Germany are
not to be suspended This matter, before it is
over will be found to create some very lively
times in the House.
A communication has been received from the
Berlin committee for the obsequies of DR.. Ed
ward 4asker by Carl Schurz, chairman of the
New York committee, expressing the thanks of
the people of Berlin for the marks of honor and
respect paid the memory of Lasker in America
A Berlin dispatch says leading politicians
there are discussing the question whether the
Reichstag will adopt a resolution thanking the
United States House of Representatives for its
resolution of coincidence for the death of Lasker.
The Secessionists will propose such a resolution,
and the Progressists will probably support them.
The attitude of the Nationalsts and members of
the Center is unsettled Several Berlin papers
in friendly relations with Minister Sargent as
sert the question of recall has not been raised

the unqualified answer that there is no thought

WAsHINGToN Feb. 2S-Mr Deuster, rising to a
question of privilege sent to the Clerks desk and
had read resolution adopted by the executive
committee of the Liberal Union of the German
Parliament expressing its appreciation of the
action of the House of Representatives in adopt
ing the resolution in honor of Edward Lasker
The Speaker stated the question not one of
privilege, but by unanimous consent Mr.. Deus
ter was permitted to continue. He said the ex-
ecutive committee of the Liberal Union ex-
pressed the sentiments of the people of Germany
The spectacle here presented was peculiar, as
seen through American eyes. Prince Bismarck
the autocrat of the German empire, was the EN-
bodiment of an idea inimcal to American insti-
tutions. He had returned the Lasker resolu-
ton, and it might stand to the prejudice of the
German people, but the resolution of the Liberal
Union was contradiction of that assumption.
From a els Atlantic standpoint. death broke
down all political feeling, and in the presence of
the open grave the universal brotherhood of man
was the inspiration of the hour The same was
true of the Germans as a people; and if they
were misrepresented by man in place of
power, they had other method of setting
themselves right before the world than by the
resolutions of the Liberal Union In this resolu
ton, in his official place a member of this
body, as a native of Germany and an adopted
citizen of the United States he desired to ex-
press his earnest conviction that the action of the
Liberal Union was a true index of the feeling Of
united Germany. and that the action of Prince
Bismarck would not rise above the dignity of u
matter of personal veXation, in way affecting
the kindly relations existing between the
two nations. 1t might be premature now to crit
icize the action of Prince Bismarck, but when
the official information thereof in possession
of the House. he would endeavor TO show that
the Lasker resolutions We're entirely kind and
proper.
Mr.. Guenther denied that the people of Ger
many were hostile to this country or its institu-
tions, or that the letter of Prince Bismarck re
turning the Lasker resolutions reflected the SEN
timent of that people They did not approve his
discourtesy neither did they indorse his auto
cratic action in prohibiting the importation of
American products.
Mr.. Kasson regretted the incident referred to
should be made in any degree a subject of de
bate. In his opinion the House would better

Significant Statement by the "Times."
LONDON, Feb. 29.-The Times, in a leader
this morning, says: 1T is intolerable that we
are exposed to this succession Of plots from a
nation protesting to be friendly with us and
with which we desire to live i'll peace and amty.
We know that the Americans are aware of the
identity of the plotters of these outrages and it
would be no hard task for the American govern
ment to end the whole thing. We have done
our part. We have made the private manufac-
ture of explosives a penal crime. The
result is the consprators have been compelled
to change their ground of operations and find
in America safe refuge and a government
which will not interfere with their operations
1t is impossible that shall submit to this
Dynamters are the common enemy which no
civilized country can tolerate without disgrace
The niscrcants have only done what Ameri-

cate; for what rewards have been duly
promised, and for what public speakers have
been applauded. The time has arrived to ad
dress q strong remonstrancc to the government

able Americans are ashamed of the inaction
of their rulers. They must now Join us and

Our Electric Man.
iSt. Paul Herald

Georgia claims the proud possession of two electric women, and the papers of the land have taken down and dusted ofi their very finest language in which to talk of the wonders accomplished by these wads of animated lightning, % to speak. One of them can toss large and powerful men about as if they were but footballs, and if house with heavy mortgage on it should be placed upon . common dining table she could pick it up as easily as the expert sharper can pick up the guileless gilly at the country fair. The most astonishing feat yet &C., complished' by the other electrical female almost surpasses behe1, yet we are com pelled to admit that 1t is true, for the newspapers relate the fact, and newspa- pers never lie. A cord of wood was hauled up to her house and an ordinary ax laid on top of 1t. Spectaton were allowed to examine the ax to satisfy themselves that there was no deception in 1t. The woman then made her ap- pearance and simply pointed her cleo. trical finger at the glittering steel, and without any apparent cause or provoca- ton 1t threw of its coat spat on its hands and vent to work on the pie of wood. It didn't stop, even for reiresh- ments, until the wood was chopped, split and piled up, and then it hew into the house and rocked the baby while the woman got breAkfast.
