WHO is RESPONSIBLE'

Five of the annual appropriation bills, which
the House has spent three months In maturing
have been tumbled into the Senate at the very
end of the session, when that body has actually
less time to examine, report upon, amend, dls-
cuss and act upon them than the House has
taken to get single one OF them correctly
printed. Those who have been guilty OF such
outrageous disregard of all the dccencles ana
proprieties of legislation knew that they were
thereby running great risk of an extra session.
and vet they persisted in long debate on other
measures. particularly on the River and Harbor
bill, until it was too late for the Senate to act
properly and intelligently upon the appropria-
ton bills In doing so, they took upon them
selves all responsibility for an extra session of
Congress, if their indecent and shameless de-
Law should make one necessary.
That is not all. The majority in the House
has given to the appropriation bulls
such a form respecting matters OF gen
eral importance that it knew the Senate
would strongly object to them. lt was
a most insolent piece Of business. in effect say
ing to the coordinate legislative body: "owal-
low these measures without question or delay
"1n this form, whether you like them or not ;
{" if YOU do not, there will be an extra session,
&" and we will tell the people you have caused
"itr More than once the same impudent
falsehood has deceived. This time it will not
deceive, because respectable Democrats In all
parts of the country have for weeks been ex-
pressing very plainly their disgust at the con-
duct of the Democratic House.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations
reports that it cannot hope to secure
action before the close of the session,
on the bills sent over by the House,
if provisions are insisted upon which under the
rules of the Senate must cause prolonged de-
bate. This is but the naked statement OF a
fact which the House has known perfectly well
all the time, and yet that body impudcntly in
ssts that the Senate shall abdicate all its rights
and functions and pass the bills as they come
from the House, without time for discussion or
amendment. It is this utterly indefensiblc
position of the Democratic leaders in the House
which makes an extra session possible. The
responsibility so clearly rests upon them that
Democrats all over the country are to-day de-
claring that certain of these Democratic leaders
have deliberately conspired to cause an extra
session. in order to embarrass Mr.. Clevelands
administration at the outset. Whatever their
motive may be, they have taken the RESPONSE
bility upon themselves by a course which, if
persisted in, they could have expected to have
but one result.

in regard to the other, and Major Rainwater'
according to report, has formally informed the
Governor that if he desires the sort of salts
faction which he has once before sought and
obtained, he need not wait until his term OF
Office expires, but can obtain it without delay.
These are the current reports. OF their truth,
people not conversant with the Missouri code
of laws and of morals cannot be expected to
know much. But the fact that they are in
circulation and generally believed in the State
where the duelling Governor and the bandit
hero are best known is sufficient evidence OF
the estimation in which these persons are
regarded, as well as Of the state OF society
prevailing.

LATEST NEWS SUMMARY.
What 10 Thought of West Point.

The board OF visitors to the West Point
military academy have submitted their an
nual report to the secretary OF war. The
report states:
The board found the discipline strict, yet
reasonable, and well calculated to teach
regularity, system and cheerful obedience to
orders. 1t recommends that increased OPP
portunities and instruction be given with q
view OF obtaining the highest excellence in
the use OF small arms. An appropriation
OF $50, 900 is recommended for IL new gym
nasium; $4,000 for improving the cadet
laundry; $4,000 for improving the black
smith and other Shops 81 200 Of that sum
will suffice for removing the barracks for
the cavalry detachment nearer the stables
and riding hall; $4,000 for changes in the
library building, and SIT 800 to make
suitable provision for the departments OF
chemistry and philosophy. The quarters
Tor the IN miles OF the enlisted men are very
insufficient and new ones are needed. The
board further recommends that the chief
Of engineers be made the inspector OF the
academy; that the number ofappointmcnts
at large bc restored ut ten per year. The
board consisted ofthc following:
John Bigelow, New York city; c. A. Cod
man, Boston; Gov. Hoadly, Ohio; Prof.
f. s. Holden, Wisconsin; Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
Virginia; George L. Miller, Omaha, Neb.;
