Senator Faulkner. Effective Work.

Senator Faulkner. of West Virginia, SAYS
the Washington correspondent Of the Bal
timore sun, has been more or less annoyed
by few of his constituents who insist that
he should take q more active part in the
debates, and he is continually urged to
make a set speech against the force bill.
Such suggestions do Senator Faulkner
great injustice. and his work on the Demo-
cratic side of the Senate is far more efec-
tive than O dozen or more set speeches. His
duties as whip" and executive officer of
the Democratic party in the Senate are not
only responsible but onerous, and his asso-
ciatcs fully appreciate his value. He is q
ready and effective debater. in addition 10
being remarkably gifted as a manager.
Several times he has obtained the floor to
deliver o well-seasoned speech, but each
time he has yielded to others who were
more anxious to be heard. On one occa-
sion he relinquished the floor to Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, who made vigorous
attack upon the force bill. West Yirginians
need not give themselves any uneasiness
about Senator Faulkner. as he is generally
regarded as one of the most valuable men,
beers of the minority.

The Rev. Mr. Macqueary's Defence.

The second days session of the ecclesi-
astical court which is sitting at Trinity
Cathedral, Cleveland, o., for the purpose
Of Judging whether Rev. Howard Mac
queary is hereto, was opened at 10
O'clock Thursday morning. Mr.. Mac
queary was soon upon his feet aud con-
tinued until almost noon in speaking in his
own defence. He devoted himself alto
gether to his position on the question of
Christ's resurrection. He held that it was
spiritual and not physical. Referring TO
the court, he declared that he appreciated
its einbarrass ment. If il decided for him
the Church would cry out against it, II it
decided against him the intelligent world
would criticise 1t.
DIR. Bates, of st. Paul's, the prosecutor,
denied that. the court was ono for the
next century, but would deal fairly with
the end in view that the present was to be
served.
MIR. Macqueary is six feet three inches
tall. weighs IT'S pounds, is straight as an
Indian, has black eyes, and is an eloquent
pulpit orator. He is Vireinian by birth. is
under forty and unmarried.

Another Case.

In Nebraska on Thursday the Supreme
Court of the State undertook to compel
the Speaker of the House Of Delegates to
canvass the votes for Governor. 1t issued
n mandamus commanding him to do 30.
This is in contrast with the action or nom
action of the Supreme Court of New
Hampshire, and is queer way of keeping
separate and independent of one another
the three departments of the Government
the Legislative, the Executive, and Judi
cial. The Nebraska case is not exactly the
same as was the New Hampshire case. The
mandamus was addressed to the Speaker,
not to the House Of Delegates. But sup
pose the Speaker had been arrested? or the
House had resolved to adjourn and leave
the votes uncanvassed? What would the
court have done? What could it have
done? Would the court have reversed
CRoMwrLL's act and walked down the aisle
and commanded themembers to keep their
seatsp Hardly.
Surely these be parlous times.

Monsieur Tonson Come Again.

The West Virginia Legislature will meet
next week. And so here of course comes
Monsieur ToNsoN with the announcement
that the West Virginia debt question will
come up in that body for consideration.
For years we have on occasions warned all
concerned that West Virginia will never
pay one third. one tenth, one twentieth.
nor one one-hundredth part of that debt.
She does not acknowledge that she owes
any Of it. All the same, whenever the Vir-
ginia Legislature or the West Virginia Legis-
lature is about to assemble the holders of
West Virginia certificates get into the
papers just such telegram as the one
which we are now writing about.

The Connection Track.

There was time when the Virginia Le-
eislature and the people of Richmond
thought II good policy to compel railroad
passengers to travel across this city in
hacks and omnibuses JOHN b. FLoYp was a
member of the Legislature in those days and
excoriated the advocates Of this idea which
he termed the shaved-tail mule policy"
But we have outgrown the delusion at the
bottom Of that policy. And the City Coun-
oil will. we take it, refuse to return to it.
II IL too late TO obstruct travel as O means
Of compelling the traveller to spend his
money where he does not desire to spend

GOVERNOR HILLS LETTER.

BE Present ut the Banquet
Governor David Il. Hill sent the follow

ISOLATION of Philadelphia from Albany,

priye me of the pleasure OF accepting
your cordial invitation to be present at the
annual banquet of the Young Mems DEM
ocratic Association on January Sth.
The celebration of Jackson's Day, al
though associated particularly with mill
tary achievement, must always recall the
distinguished services that that great
Democrat rendered to his country. lie

his face against governmental favorltlsm,

this reason his fellow-citizens honored him
with the highest gift within their disposal.
Jacksonian Democracy has become a

was vigorous, bold, and aggressive; u
needed no defence because II sprang from
genuine Americanism: il was its own plat
form broad, comprehensive and popular !;
il was the ceaseless foe, not OF one, but OF
all government abuses; it was manly,
robust, and wholesome. =,
These are the qualities which should
characterize Democratic leadership to-day;
The same departures from fundamental
principles OF government winch JACKSON
combated so successfully are visible now
to an even greater degree. The ubiquitous
force bill now pending in Congress is one
evidence Of them, wasted surplus, is
another, the Mckinley law Is another.
the recent monetary legislation is
another, and the proposed legislative bene;
factions in the shape OF subsidies and
bounties are still another. The preserva-

and our countrv's best welfare demand the
united and aggressive efforts of the modern
Democracy. Imbued with Jacksonian

Governor FowLE recommends that $685.

may be properly represented by the exhi-
bition of her products at the Chicago Ex-
position.

We are urging Virginia to vote suitable
sum for like purpose, and it will be
easier TO get the appropriation through our
two houses if we have the example of
North Carolina to encourage us. What Is
more, we want the Virginia house at the
Exposition to be a reproduction, except as
to size, of our State Capitol.
The farmers, who above all Others are

turning to town by another road that
comes into the head of Duke street at Its
