EtiibusterIng Again,

When the election bill was laid aside, it
was supposed there would be an end Of fill
clustering for this session. The Democrats
sought to defend their course in resortiug to
all sorts of dilatory tactics to defeat that bill
by claiming that it was purely partisan
measure, that it was designed simply to hurt
the democratic party, and that, moreover,
the people had practically condemned 1t at
the fall elections. OF course all this amount
ed really to very little as defence, but it
was specious, and served to extenuate their
performances In the eyes OF great many
people. Their present .filibustering is want
ing even specious defence. The measure
they want to kill is not partisan measure,
1t Is measure designed simply to increase
our mercantile marine by policy similar to
that which has been adopted by all great
maritime powers, namely, by system OF
subsidies. The friends of the measure are
not all Republicans, nor its enemies all
Democrats. One Of the most active of its
advocates is a Maine Democrat, who is a
member of the National Democratic Com
mlttee, while some Of its strongest oppo-
nents are Republicans from the West. 1t is
not measure that is calculated to benefit
one political party more than another, unless
possibly, the prosperity which it may bring
to our merchant marine may Indirectly hurt
the Democracy, which thrives best In times
OF depression and disaster. But it is in no
true sense partisan measure. Yet the
Democratic leaders, for some reason, have
made up their minds that it shall not pass
the House, even If a majority of the House
are in favor of 1t, and so they are resorting
to all sorts Of dilatory tactics to prevent con-
sideration of the bill. The situation greatly
favors them, because the session must end
on the fourth Of March, and tho appropria.
tlon bills must have been passed by that
time else an extra session will be necessary.
Another condition that favors them is the
absence of quorum Of Republicans. Were
the Republicans all present it would be i'm
possible for the Democrats to flibuster very
extensively, but when quorum of Republi-
cans is net present the Democrats can
make 1t impossible to transact business at
any time by retiring from the hall. OF course
il quorum Of Republicans do not present
themselves, and all, or nearly all, the Demo
Gratis can be prevailed upon to leave the
House whenever thu leaders give the word,
legislation to which the Democrats are OPP
posed will be impossible for the remainder
OF the session. The only hope of passing
the shipping bill lies in quorum of Repub-
licans being present and pushing through
the appropriation bills In season for It's con-
sideration. If the Democrats can still coz
tlnue to delay the appropoiationsbills,a as
tney nave during the past week, the ship
ping Dill VIII surely fail for lack of time to
consider it.

THE FIREPLACE.
BY JOHN 8. BARRows.

With a, the glow of the flames is the fireplace
And the andirons shine in the rudy light;
enough the world Is dark with the shades o.
stIIfths cricket sings cheerily.
Round the androns' legs the red Goals glow;
Inc names leap up TO the rough winds blow,
Inc shadows In time dance high and low,
And the cricket sings cheeriy.
The backlog is hickory. hard and sound
Inc fore-stick OF oak is rough and round.
AND Lne sparks between jump up with bound,
While the cricket sings cheerily.
Around the old fireplace is a circle gay,
From the curly-head boy TO the grandfather
gray.
And with story and song pass the hours away
And the cricket sings cheerily.
The red apples stand in a suffering row,
The corn In its prison pops white as snow,
And the waiting young folks hungry grow;
While the cricket sings cheerily.
Now's the hour Of ten by the tall clock's.tick,
From the cupboard dark comes the candlestick,
Ana on to bed each one goes quick.
Tnough the cricket sings cheerily.
Up the chimney flies the last bright spark,
And the embers black lie dead and stark,
Within and without the house is dark
But the cricket sings cheerily.
A family shrine is the fireplace old,
For round 1t the thoughts of the heart are told,
And the memories warm will meier grow cold
While the cricket sings cheerily.

The Dominion Tories are working the
Farrer pamphlet for all 1t is worth. The
Halifax Herald alleges that 1t was prepared
for Mr.. Hit, chairman of the foreign affairs
committee of the House. and declares that
Mr.. Farrer was Mr.. Wiman's accredited
agent at Washington. The Toronto Empire
undertakes to implicate Professor Goodwin
Smith in the preparation of the pamphlet.
Professor Smith. however. denounces the
Empires charge as falsehood, pure and
simple, and declares upon his honor that he
never saw or heard anything of Mr.. Farrer's
pamphlet and never had anything to do with
its composition.

Ex-Gov. Foster, who will succeed Mr..
Window as Secretary of the Treasury, was
born In Ohio some 62iyeais ago. Early in
life he went into the banking business and
In the course of years became one of the
most prominent business men Ohio. he is
now interested in the manufacture of glass,
10 gas companies, In realestate and in farms.
10 1870 he was elected to Congress from the
IXth District Of Ohio. He served eight
years and was one Of the strong men of his
party In the House. The Democratic Legis-
lature Of 1878 gerrymandered his district and
gave him an adverse majority of 5000 to ov-
ercome. Mr.. Foster received two nomina-
lions for Congress that year. one from his
own district and the second from another
district. But he preferred to fight the ene-
my at home and nearly succeeded. But the
gerrymander and his remarkable canvass
made him the next Governor of Ohio. In
1879 he defeated General Thomas Ewing by
$4,000 majority, and in 1881 he was reelected
by 5000 majority over Bookwalter. Last
fall he cut down Democratic majority in
the With Congress District of Ohio from
1900 to ia. Mr.. Foster is In accord with
all of President Harrison's views on public
questions. The President and Mr.. Foster
have long been warm personal friends.

The decision In the case of the Kaufman
Milling Company Of st. Louis, No., against
the Missouri Pacific Railway Company and
10 other railroad companies has been an
nounced by the Interstate commerce commits
sion. The trouble arose over difference in
rates for the transportion of -four and wheat
between points in Missouri and Kansas and
points in Texas, the complainants claiming
that rates on the two commodities should be
equal. The opinion. which was written by
Commissioner Schoonmaker, states that a
rate OF five cents less per hundred pounds on
when than on flour is not unlawful, under
the conditions existing in the territory, but
that differential exceeding that amount
would result In unjust discrimination ana
would be unlawful The opinion afirms the
absolute power of Congress to regulate COM
merce between the states and says that rates
on such commerce may be regulated by fed
eral authority, without infringing on the
rights or immunities of such commerce un-
der the constitution. Commissioner Morri-
son dissents from the opinion.

The Boston Posts Washington correspond
emit processes to have unearthed scheme to
compel the annexation of Cuba to the United
States. If Cuban sugar can not cutter the
United States free of duty after January 1,
1892, by reciprocity treaty between this
country and Spain, 1t will be driven abso-
lutely from the American market by the high
duty which will raise its price above the
sugar of Brazil and Mexico. which will be
admitted free. Spain is debarred from max
ing an arrangement under the reciprocity
clause of the tariff because she has treaties
with European nations which bind her to
give them all the privileges Of ''the most ia
v0red nations" She cannot maintain a mar
ket for Cuban sugar by treaty with the
United States. The planters of Cuba will
have, therefore, to defy Spanish authority
and make treaties for Cuba as an indepen-
dent power or find their crops rotting on
their hands and their plantations the useless
refuge Of starving and rebellious workmen.
Independence or annexation Will become es
sential to the industrial existence of the
queen Of the Antilles" Probably there is
just as much intention on the part of the
state department to annex Cuba as to annez
the Dominion of Canada, and no more.

TWAS hardly necessary for ex-President
Cleveland to deny that he had declared that
he would not be candidate before the next
Democratic convention. Nobody took
any stock in the story. That Mr..
Cleveland wants to be candidate
has been evident enough for two
years past, and that most of tho Democrats
wanted him to up to the time he wrote his
silver letter, has been evident enough also
Since that epistle, however, there has been
much less unanimity of demand for hin,
