Despite the protests of the Demo-
Gratis, the bill for the admission of
Idaho as State was declared by
Speaker Reed to have passed the
House of Representatives yesterday.
On the passage of the bill all the
Democrats, with the exception of
Mr.. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, re-
Trained from voting. All the Re-
publicaus present voted in favor of
admission, but these numbered only
l29, forty less than quorum. The
Speaker, however, counted the Dem
ocrats present as voting, and thus
decided the bill passed. 1t is I'M
derstood the Democrats will make
this test case to carry before the
Supreme Court to settle the constitu-
tionality of the arbitrary rulings of
the Speaker in recording members as
voting who had purposely refrained
from doing so. In the debate Mr..
Springer made the charge that tue
forcing of Wyoming and Idaho in
as States was partisan legislation,
and he gave as a reason that the Re
publicans saw defeat staring them in
the face, so far as the lower branch
OF the next Congress was concerned,
and were endeavoring to strengthen
themselves in the Senate by the adj
mission of new States. with the hope
of thus defeating tariff and other
Democratic reform measures. The
charge could not be successfully de-
MED, but the cut and dried work of
the Republican caucus was rushed
through. This is small politics, and
will hardly eventuate in permanent
benefit to the party indulging in such
questionable methods to maintain its
neutrality-suspicious. Sun.

v. M. /. Memorial Association.

WAsH1NGroN, d. c., April AT
the semi-centennial celebration of the
Virginia Military Institute, Lexing-
ton, Va, on the 4Ch of July, COM
mittee WAS appointed by the cadets
who were attending that institution
liz 1864, of which Senator Faulkner
WAS made chairman, with instructions
to address circular-Ietter to all the
cadets who were enlisted during that
year. urging the propriety of a memo
ri:,m organization, and of subscrip-
ton to fund for the purpose of
erecting a suitable memorial to the
eight boys who fell at the. battle of
Newmarket.
Senator Faulkner has been dill
gently seeking to obtain the addresses
of all, to whom he was, under the
resolution, asked to send the circu-
lar, and has been successful in OBJ
tanning the addresses of about $50
cadets.
The responses tn his circular have
been prompt and encouraging. There
sill remains about 80 cadets whose
location and address he is unable to
obtain, and any information on this
subject would be greatly appreciated
by hlm.-I1icbmOn Times.

On Wednesday night of last week
there was another bold and success
full robbery by the daring gang of bur
glars that are operating in this coun-
tY. The place this time was the Lee
town neighborhood, and it was the
smokehouse of Mrs. Mary Bowers that
was invaded. A fine horse was taken
from the stable of Mr.. Zeph Bane,
and the thief or thieves used the ami
NAL to carry off the plumber. About
200 pounds of choice hams and shout
ders and lot of dried beef was stolen.
The horse was found in the public
road the nextmorning nearAr. Bane's,
showing evidence of having been rid

Mr. P1ummer,s Mistake

1t is hardly fair TO jump on a man
when he is down, but the conspicuous
figure cut by Mr.. John F. Plummer,
of Brooklyn, in the last Presidential
campaign, makes the announcement
of the failure of his house for one
million, a legitimative subject of COM
ment. II was this Mr.. Plummer who
was proclaimed the merchant prince
of the protection campaign. He
raised large sums of money to adj
vance the cause of Harrison and pro-
lection, and he spread abroad the
doctrine that the election of Cleve-
land meant widespread disaster in
business. A high tariff was the only
scheme of salvation. 1t was to be
Harrison and happiness. or Cleveland
and despair. Well, Mr.. PIummer
isn't the only man who has found out
his mistake. Boston Heyuld.

dealers in woolens connected with
our wooden mills have failed in this
city alone since the November cleo
ton of 1888, when it was announced
that our protected industries were
assured of enduring prosperity; and,
however varied the explanation given,
the one cause of all these failures is
the oppressive tax on wool and raw
materials.

Robert G. Harper. at one time a

Baltimore, died on the 4th instant,
at his home in that city, in the 59th
year of his age. He was born in
Shepherdstown and went to Balti-
more shortly after the war. He con-
Quoted dry goods store for some
time, and then went into the employ
of several of the wholesale dry goods
firms of that city. At the time of
his death he was connected as a
salesman with the firm of Moses Co.
hen & Sons. During the war Mr..
Harper fought in the Confederate
army, and was a member of the Otey
battery, of Richmond. He was a
prominent member of Franklin
Square Presbyterian church, of which
he was an elder at the time of his
death.
AWashington special to the Wheel
ing Register, under date of April 9,
says: The determination of the Dem
ocratic Senators to protract and de-
lay final action on the Montana Sen.
atortal contests, is worrying the Re-
publicans. This steal is so palpable
and so vile that the Democrats deem
it their duty to prolong the debate
until the country shall fully under
stand it in all its hideous proportions.
On the other hand the Republicans
arc anxious to get rid of it and to
have the country know as little as
possible about the steal. The deter
mined purpose of the Democrats was
manifested this afternoon when the
Republicans wanted to name an early
day for final vote. The Democratic
Senators advised the Republicans
not to be in a hurry but to give time
for the people to comprehend every
element of the case. The spirit pro-
claimed by the Democrats tonight is
one of determined fight and they will
keep it up. Senator Faulkner was,
by direction of the Democrats, as
signed in connection with Senator
German, to manage and direct the
fight.
