Home Journal. During the war. how
schools and colleges followed popular boys!
These young leaders were the many boys
whose hearts could be trusted. The boy
who respects his mother has leadership in
him. The boy who is careful Of his sister
is q knight. The boy who will never viO-
late his word, and who will pledge his hon
or to his own heart and change not. will
have the confidence of his fellows. The
boy who defends the weak will one day be-
come a hero among the strong. The boy
who will never hurt the feelings Of any one
will one day find himself in the at
mosphere of universal sympathy. II know

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Two weeks ago
Chairman Owen, of the house committee
on immigration.w was authorized by = major
ity of the members of his committee to report
a comprehensive bill to the house amenda-
tory of the present contract labor and i'm
migration laws. The bill was thought to
be conservative measure, but it is nov be-
ing hung up because of objections raised by
Lehibach, of New Jersey, who at the time
was absent on the Pacific coast. engaged in
an investigation of the methods by which
Cinnamon are tmuggled into the United
States. Lehlbach agrees in his views with
those German-American secret societies
which are inclined to oppose any measure
which has for its object the erection of bar
riers to complete freedom of immigration
to the United States. Lehlbach,~as soon as
he heard of the action of the committee,
protested against anything being done in
his absence. It is in consequence Of this
protest that Owen held up the report. which
will not be made to the house until Lehl-
bach returns.

.ator Hoar's Denial of the Intent
4 and Purpose of the Elec-
ton Bill.
Extend the Benehcent System of
Electoral Supervision to
Other Sections"
He Perverts the Openly Notorious Fact
That 1t is Designed to Steal Seats
From Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-In the senate to-
day Hoar made an address on the election
bill. He said the struggle for the pending
bill was struggle for the last step toward
establishing the doctrine to which
the American people were pledged
by their history, their constitution,
their opinions and interests. They
could not know in their citizenship slaves,
vassals or inferior races. It was idle to de-
bate theories or philosophers in the pres
ence of express provisions of the constitu-
tion. He repelled with all the Indignation
which the calumny deserved, the assertion
that the bill was partisan measure, or
that any man who supported it was actu-
ated by partisan purposes. The bill was
one to exclude partisanship from the deter
mination of title to place on the roll of the
house of representatives, as absolutely as
the lot of humanity would admit.
The committee that reported it had merely
undertaken to act on the advice of s. 8.
Cox and other leading democrats to extend
the beheficent system of electoral super
vision offered in New York to other parts of
the country. Senators would put forth the
whole military power of the government to
defend settlers against the Indians, though
the latter had been provoked by hundred
years of wrongs. Would they not also pro-
tect them against unprovoked outrages at
the polish Did they stand here seriously to
affirm that the fathers of the republic had
created a national government and given it
no authority to secure the purity of the
election of its great representative assem-
bly,? Republican senators charged that
through election practices in operation in
some of the states, the seats of at least
thirty representatives had been illegally
usurped; that the constitution of the
United States had been SO violated and
overthrown that for fourteen years . mi
nority had controlled the national house Of
representatives, and for four years the presi-
dency of the United States itself had been
held by usurper. What had senators on
the other side ansuered2 r Soma of them
seemed to think their best answer was in
railing and reviling the senator who had
charge of the bill. Their abuse had done

not nave laid claim. h brought him int<

POLITICAL, NOT MORAL.

6cully, Defeated Candidate, Denounces
Priestly Interforence.
DUBLIN, Dec. 29.-vincent scully, recent
~ defeated BY Sir John Pope Hennessy IN
the contest for North Kilkenny's seat in
parliament, has written a letter to the Free
mans Journal, in which he says that the
attitude OF the Irish bishops. before and
during the election referred to, only shows
that Parnell committed a private vice and
allowed Judgment BY default to be delivered
against him. and therefore he has been pro-
nounced no longer eligible to position Of
public trust. Continuing, Scully says the
Irish struggle was essentially political
and not moral one; struggle for leave
for the Irish to manage Irish affairs after
their own fashion. The struggle is one Of
pounds, shillings and pence, and not q ques-
tion OF sacramento. Athlone, Rosacommon
and Westmeath are excited by proclama-
tion placarded in all prominent places. Il
states that the true Irishmen have
resolved to assert their independ.
ence and that in Kilkenny the
reverse ID true. .'The trumpet calls for
you to close your ranks and make the last
supreme fight for the cause." II adds
'Our fatherland II threatened by calamity

Of the lowering Of the flag of Independence

Continuing, he asks the people to sustain

parliament, adding that, with the people
Of Ireland and Amerioa united behind it. il

policy and led you to victory until now

to-day received the report OF Special Agent
Whitehead in regard to alleged frauds in
the matter of goods shipped from Canada,
but he refused to disclose Tho character Of
its contents, for the. reason that it applied
solely to the consular and did not reflect in
the slightest degree upon the treasury Gus
