Although the Force bill was not be-
fore the United States Senate, Monday,
it received another and what looks like
fatal blow by the summary manner in
which its chief aid and abettor, the gag
rule closure resolution, was set aside
and relegated TO the bottom of the
calendar. This result was accomplished
only by very narrow margin, 35 ayes
to "a nays, but it was attended by the
accession of another Republican sena-
tor, Mr.. Cameron of Pennsylvania, to
the handful of those who have already
united with the Democratic Senators in
opposition to the rule of force and fraud
that President Harrison seems insanely
determined to impose upon the people
of this country.
The technical action taken in the
Senate by which this result was accom-
plished was the adoption of a motion to
take up the Appropriations bill. This
places the closure resolution, which was
before the Senate, at the bottom of the
calendar, from which position it cannot
be taken except by the affirmative votes
of a majority of all the members of the
Senate. The prospects of securing such
vote are not very bright, as public
sentiment against the Force bill is on
the increase, and the six Republican
Senators who Monday voted with the
Democrats will probably find their num-
Der increased to eight or more when an
other decisive vote is taken. Eight Re-
publican votes, Joined with the full
Democratic strength, will effectually
bury both closure and the Force bill,
even with every member Of the Senate
present and voting. There are good
reasons, therefore, for believing that the
Force bill is now doomed to certain
defeat.
The six Republican Senators who
Monday arrayed themselves inEopposi-
ton to bayonet rule at elections in a
free country were Cameron of Pennsyl-
yania, Jones Of Nevada, Stewart of
Nevada, Teller of Colorado, Washburne
of Minnesota, and Wolcott Of Colorado.
And there are others of their Republican
colleagues who are strongly tempted to
| join them in the stand they have taken.
Several Republican Senators, who have
steadily co-opcrated with Mr.. Hoar,
said after Mondays vote that it would
be useless to waste further time in an
effort TO pass the Force bill, and while
they would not say they would vote
against motion to resume that measure
they would deprccate any further effort
in that direction
1t looks as though an era of sense and
reason was beginning TO once more per
meate the partisan atmosphere of the
United States Senate. 1t will probably
continue to stand as "the greatest DELHI
erative body on the face Of the earth, y
and if it does the Force bill will never
have any earthly show Of success.
