4 RACE CONFLICT.

II is expected that the conference OF
the Bohemian, German and Geek par
ties will end to-day. The delegates are
roticcnt respecting the proceedings. The
Germans hold that Count Taafe has
asked them to help him solve an insolu-
bic problem against themselves. In Bo-
hemia there are ZOO 90 Gcrmans and
1900, 600 Czecks. The Germans stand
IN that country in stronger position
than the Ulster mon In Ireland yet
Taafc has ignored them for years and
given the reins to the Czecks. lie now
finds shat in this he has not even
pleased the Czecks themselves, yet he
now asks the Germans TO help him out
OF his dilemma by making further con
cessions for tho sake OF peace. Ihs
they hold to be absurd politics. The
Germans accuse Count Taafe OF trying
tc make all Bohemia Czech country,
and in consequence OF the success
OF the efforts in that direction, they say
German imperial patriotism is disap-
pearing.
on the other hand, the Czechs do not
contemplate the Germans as in
nocent and helpless victims OF per-
secution, and intimate that this is
not the first they have heard OF the ex-
elusive virtue OF that race. They accuse
the Il ermans OF ondeayorlng TO eradicate
from the country the Czech language
and institutions, and whatever else may
stand in the way Of German domina-
tion, aud assert that they themselves
have had fair play in the conflict only
since Count Taaie has been In oillce;
They do not dispute the full right OF
the Germans TO use their own ,ansuasu
In districts occupied by them, but they
hold that Bohemia should be- as indie
pendent as Hungary is, aud claim that
the emperor should recognize their na-
tonal rights and privileges by peins
crowned king of Bohemia at SpfaBue'
as empcfors formerly were.

Plumb's Liquor Resolution.

The Senate acted very promptly on the
bill TO close up the original package saloons,
but it hesitates TO act upon Senator Plumb's
resolution to stop the sale Of intoxicating
liquors in the Senate restaurant and 10 pre-
vent the keeping Of jugs Of whisky in the
committee rooms. Although Seoator Plumb
is from a prohibition state. be is represented
as not bsing a prohibitionist in the strictest
sense There must have been some rather
shameful exhibitions Of drunkenness in the
Senate chamber. therefore, or he would not
have attempted to cut of the liquor rations
OF those of the senator's who have an incli-
nation toward whisky. 1t cropped out
during the debate on the resolution that
there are senators who sometimes are too
full" TO attend to legislation properly, and
now and then it happens that one OF them
makes an exhibition of himself that is
rather humiiating to those of his brother
senators who have a profound reg lrd for
the dignity and responsibility of the Senate.
OF course if Senator Plumb's resolution
should pass it would not be difficult for
senators to get whisky at the hotel just
acr1 IS from the capitol, but they would

would restrain their appetites, probably.
until they returned to their homes. If that
would be the effect of the passage of the
Plumb resolution, it could not be passed too
soon, because it would insure clearer minds
10 the Senate chamber
As rule the senators do not patronize
the bar of the Senate restaurant. They re-
gard it as rather undignihed to be seen
drinking in public places. And. besides. the
whisky which they keep in jugs in the COM
mittee rooms is much better than that
which is obtained at the Senate restaurant
bar. 1t is old and palatable, and it is not
to be wondered at, therefore, that some of
the senators take more of it than they can
carry without becoming slightly incapaci
tated for business Senator Plumb's mis-
sionary work, however, is not appreciated
by his brother senators, and it is doubtfulif
his resolution meets with the approval of
majority of them.

Private Pensions.

The House the other day passed 1856 moro
of the 5000 private pension bills introduced
in congress this session. If the President
follows his liberal, not to say reckless,
course in regard TO the approval of pensions,
he will sign these bills as he has, with few
exceptions, all others of a similar nature.
President Cleveland signed more pension
bills than any other President. He also
vetoed more. And he carefully read the
bills; ell of those, certainly, that he
vetoed. His reasons for his vetoes,
while they occasioned in some quartz. S
much wrath, were absolutely unanswer-
able. They showed two things. First, the
Importance of an actual individual under
standing, on the part of the President, of
the merits of these pensions, which are
passed through congress by the hundred
and secondly, the value to the country Of
chief magistrate who, besides taking the
time to examine so many OF these 'little
private pension bills" also possesses the in
telligence to detect fraud or hunhurg,
even if carefully hidden beneath
the surfacs, and the patriotism. cour-
age and firmness to veto, if need be, any
quantity of unworthy bills.
1t is to be feared that congress- passes
these bills little knowing or caring about
their merit. II in addition the President
happens to be an essy-going man who is
ready to sign any hing and everything in
the shape of a pension, the result is the
steady drawing of large amounts of money
from the treasury by unfair. if not dishoa-
est, means These private pension bills
have taken hundreds of thousands, if not
millions, Of dollars out of the public purse,
and still they continue to be passed. The
policy of allowing such pensions, since most
of the applications for them have been re-
jected by the pension bureau, is reckless
and wasteful one.

Peace for a Little While.

Ezeta, the leader of the revolutionary
forces in Salvador, failed to establish him
self in the presidency, but by the terms of
peace just arranged he gained a victory in
another direction. Aside from his desire to
obtain personal advancement, his object
was to oppose and prevent the unifcation
of the Central American states. This he has
accomplished. Who the controlling spirit
was which was behind the revolution led by
him it is difficult to determine, however. By
some it is believed to have been the
church party, which was endeavoring thus
to return to power. Others thought it was a
movement to restore to the presidency the
deposed Zaldivar. Be this as it may, neither
party will gain control, for the present at
least. By the terms of peace Ayala, the
legitimate president, will assume the presi-
dency until an election is held.
The union of the five states would insure
a better and safer government, but the
atmosphere of suspicion which the war has
engendered precludes the hope Of such a con-
summation for some time to come. While
this government has been instrumental
in bringing about the cessation OF hostili-
ties, it is doubtful whether permanent peace
can be restored. and whether the rival
states can be held to the pan-American
agreement to settle their differences by ar
bitration instead Of bloodshed. The bad
feeling aroused by the conflict will I'M
doubleday remain, and no one need be sur
prised to hear at any day of further troubles
among the Central American republics.

Tie Force Bill Postponed.

The republican senator's have agreed 20
postpone the consideration Of the force bill
until next December, with the understand
ing that it shall be the first bill taken up
after the reassembling of congress. The
postponment Of the hill is a conspicuous
victory for Senator Quay. He has proved
himself as much g leader of the majority In
the Senate as he was Of his party in the last
presidential campaign. He changed the
prog ramme of Speaker Reed, Senator Hoar
and other bloody shirt leaders Of his party
without making a speech. and without any
apparent effort He uttered scarcely word
on the floor Of the Senate, ana talked very
little to the newspapers. How much quiet
work he did no one knows, probably, but it
is admitted that the methods he employed
were effective ones.
The President, it is understood, wanted
the force bill passed at this session, and
Speaker Reed, Senators HOar, Spooner and
others were ready to make any sacrifices
almost to get it acted upon before congress
adjourned Having been so easily out
generated by Senator Quay, they must feel
that their influence is not so great as they
thought it was. They are beginning TO
understand, doubtless, that they are no
match for the silent Quay in political
maneuvering. He permitted them to think
they were going to have everything their
own way until the time for action came,
and then he stepped to the front, upset their
nicely arranged plans and had adopted
programme of his own. He accomplished
his OBJECT SO quietly that they do not yet
realize, probably. how badly they were
beaten.
Speaker Reed, no doubt, takes his defeat
harder than any Of the other extremists
He worked so hard and made such unau-
thorized and arbitrary use of his power to
get the force bill through the House that it
must have filed him with rage to see the
bill virtually defeated in the Senate by
man he pretends TO despise.
There is no reason to doubt that the bill
is dead beyond resurrection. The pretense
that it is to be taken up next December is
only intended as balm for the wounded
pride of Senators Hoar, Spooner and the
rest of the bloody shirt crowd. In the fall
elections they will hear enough to convince
them that the wisest thing to do with re-
gard to the bill is to let it alone. The people
don't want the bill and they won't have it.
The time for sectional legislation has passed.
Politicians may wave the bloody shirt if
they want to, because they hurt nobody by
doing so, but the people don't intend to have
any more bloody shirt laws
