This is what Democratic officer of that body
said tonight All indications bear out the pre-
diction. The two political parties will come into
contact in the Senate Chamber at A o'clock Mon
day afternoon. One side will have to make
humiliating surrender to the other, or violence
and riot must necessarily ensue. There is no
spirit of surrender visible. Both sides are de-
termined and Incorporating. Every Demo
cratic member and officer will 60 into the Senate
Chamber Monday afternoon armed to the teeth,
prepared to do or die. A large and well-armed
Democratic lobby will be in attendance. The
Jackson Club. the Democratic organization of
Columbus, has quietly detailed sixty picked men
to be on hand"
The people can see from the above Democratic
testimony who is armed, and who contemplated
trouble at yesterdays meeting of the Senate AS
the above was written prior to t he meeting of
the Senate. and when everything was placid and
serene on the surface. the Democratic caucuses
must have been plotting to bring about riot and
bloodshed. 1t is we'll to remember this.

A BRILLIANT FINANClER.
The Highly Original Plan Adopted by a Schem-
ing Youth to Make Few Dollars.

The deadliest blow our beloved school system
has ever had-a blow that causes it to quake.
and strain and culver like the ship that carried
Ulysses when the stone thrown by the blind
Cyclops grazing the rudder sunk into the sea-
has fallen at the High-schoo in this city
Everyone knows how zealously the examination
questions are guarded; that. like the Presidents
message, these questions are held sacred and on
account is any premature information regarding
them to be disclosed; that for weeks the teach
ers at the High-school, doing duty as pickets in
front of a sleepless and INSCRIPTIONS enemy,
have been guarding these precious papers
Eternal vigilance is the price of scholastic Sc
crecy. A drowsy sent incl left the camp open to
the enemy, momenta ry wink of the arguseyed
custodian of the treasu re. and now the mourners
60 about the streets.
About week ago the faces of number of
the High-school scholars were observed to beam
with guilty intelligence. and contenporaneously
1t was discovered that number of the slips con-
tanning the il-puzzlers were missing from the
desk where they had been in keeping under lock
and key: The wicked knowledge appeared to
be spreading the countenances of even the slow
est pupils being illumined.
On Tuesday three young Guy Fawkeses were
discovered in the High-sehool cellar with their
books, and by the Pickering furnace light coming
over one of the distracted slips. They were
promptly arrested, and a little later fresh
light was thrown on this atrocious conspiracy.
A boy whose conscience would no longer per-
NIT him to hold his guilty secret told of the
teachers. He told her all about it; how after he
had fully mastered the questions his conscience
had dashed him as with whip of scorpions, and
he had then consigned the slip of paper to the
fames which, as it fell into the fire, writhed and
wriggled in its turpitude 1t seems the jaEitor's
son, with the craft of an ostrieh-stalker, had
tracked the examination papers to their lair and
guiltily possessed himself Of this sacred knowl-
edge. Then with financial wisdom beyond his
years, he proceeded to sell the slips to the pupils,
who were in sore need Of Them at fifty cents
each or three for dollar.
But why prolong the narrowing details? Suf-
fee it to say if this dreadful theft had not been
discovered the pending Highschool examination
would have been the most brilliant that proud
seat of learning had ever known. and the teach
ers would have been circled with halo of daz-
cling light.

Spirit saying, 'If thou NEWEST the gift Of God

QUA NAVY.

Tho House COMMITTEES on Naval AnAi1S
fenseless Condition.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The House
Committee on Naval Affairs has completed
its report to accompany the bill providing
for an increase sf the naval establishment.
1t points out that the sea c5as! cities Of the
United States are absolutely at the mercy
Of see6nd rate naval power, and that the
Government is without sdsauate means of
defending its foreign coastwis6 commerce,
1t shows that while foreign powers are
building formidable naval vessels tho
United States is about at a stand
still in this particular, and says: AFTER
Studying the characteristics of other ma
tiOns we find that we are not only at the
mercy OF foreign nations but Our Meighbof

bur gulf or Atlantic coast Willie Chill could

bau, those formidable
BRAZILIAN ARMED CRUISERS,
Gould steam ~ thirteen or fourteen knots
an hour from Brazil to Eew York in ten
days. They could with impunity pass out
forts and anchor in New York harbOr. But
without doing this their guns could easily
throw shells into New York city from of
Coney Island beach. The Chilian vessel,
Esmerelda. carries coal enough to enable
her to stealth at eight knots an hour from
Chill to San Francisco without exhaustihg
half her supply, and with hef high power
guns she could lie outside the Golden Cats
and lay the city of San Francisco under
contribution without going within the reach
of its guns. The Cochran and Blaaco Eucal-
ado, other Chilian ships, arc protected BY
nine inches of iron armOr and carry batteries
of six and eight inch breech loading rifles.
In view of this state Of affairs the commit
tee recommend the completion of the mOni-
tors and the building of the vessels and
torpedo boats discussed in the bill already
published. The committee hopes that in
view of the very considerable quantity of
armor required for the vessels, that
RESPONSIBLE AMERICAN FIRMS
may be Induced to enter upon the work of
making the armor needed, and the opinion
is expressed that the needed workshops
will grow up along with the navy. and that
the arts of forging heavy steel and of
building guns and ships of war will develop
in America side by side. The report ex-
plains and defends the provisions of the
bill submitted by the naval commits
sion and concludes as follows: "We trust
the bill may meet with the appreciation of
both Houses of Congress, and that its en-
hctment into law may. as an important
step toward the creation of an efficient
navy, contribute to feeling of increased
National security. At present such feel
ing of security among well informed people
can only come from the belief that no
Nation dare attack another when it Is help
less" The report is signed by every mem-
Der of the committee.
