The prompt action of the legislature of
Georgia in demanding the repeal of the
tax on state banks and passing state
banking law shows plainly that the south
ern wing Of the Democratic party is not
disposed to accept the Interpretation of
the clause in the Democratic platform on
this subject which was adopted by the
Northern wing in the stress of the politi-
cal campaign. We have been told here in
the North that there was no intention of
reviving the old state bank notes, but that
evidently is not the ,dea of the South
There the disposition is to take the party
at its word and demand that it live up
to it. When the next Congress assem-
bles. no doubt bill will be promptly in
troduced to repeal the tax on
state bank circulation and pressed
with vigor; and the Northern Demo
Gratis will have to face it. The various
methods of lodging it which they
adopted in the campaign will not avail
them then. A plan suggested by some
of the Mugwump papers to get out of
the difficulty is to repeal the tax, but
to surround the repeal with certain con.
ditions. That is to say they would re-
store the right to issue currency provided
that currency is surrounded with safe
guards approved by Congress. 1t is a
question, however, which admits of

Mr.. Cleveland was introduced at Mr..
Henry Willard private banquet as the
''beacon light of Democratic principles.
But when the "beacon light began to
shine it was seen to be of a decidedly
hazy order. Beyond an admonition to
refrain from quarreling and an injunction
to be true to Democratic principles the
beacon light shed no illumination what
ever. A beacon light of a principle
ought to illuminate that principle SO
clearly that nobody can have any doubt
what it is. But after Mr.. Cleveland had
shone upon it nobody knew any better
what it was that he did before. The only
thing clear from Mr.. Cleveland speech is
that he is appalled, a, the task before
him. Well, he has reason to be.

IN THE SENATE.
The Reading OF the Messsge-Eulogy or
Justice EradIeY.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 25.--It was evident at
the Senate end of the capitol today that large
number of American citizens had come to the
conclusion that they could "snif the battle
from afar." There was very large attendance
in the galleries. When the Senate assembled,
routine business was proceeded with until the
presidents message was received. Ordinarily =
presidential communication attracts little at
tention, hut things were different today.
twenty-five Democratic and 26 Republican SEN
ators were in their seats when the reading COM
menced. and but one of them moved. That
was Senator Teller, who moved more to the
front, that he might hear more distinctly. oc-
casionally senator would be moved by par
ticularly strong point, and would say a word or
two of assent to his neighbor. When mention
was made of the fact that one sailor had been
dragged along the streets OF Valparaiso with
lasso around his neck Senator Vest gave invol-
untary utterance to sound which was con-
strued into expression OF sympathy for the
sailor and demonstration Of an anti Chilean
nature.
At the conclusion OF the reading, on motion
of sherman, the message and accompanying
documents were ordered printed and referred to
the committee on foreign relations.
A report confirming the title OF Chiffon Of
Texas 20 his seat was handed in by Hoar. Turpie

THE CECILIA MURDER TRIAL.
Judge Orders Change of Venue From
jefferson to Island County.


PORT TOWNSEND, Jan. 2a-ISpecial.l THE
Cecilia murder case took peculiar turn this az
ternoon, and Judge Sachs ordered q change of
venue to Island county, owing to the difficulty
of getting jury here. During four days over
fifty jurors were examined, and all were dis
qualified on account of prejudice
against defendant. At the begin
ming of the trial. Coella's counsel moved
for change OF venue on the ground OF local
prejudice. The court refused the motion. To-
day, after hearing fifty jurors examined in the
case, Judge Sachs said he had come TO the con-
clusion that the change OF venue should have
been granted. John Fairfield, defendants lead
ing counsel. declined to renew the motion for
change of venue. The court nevertheless Or
dered the case removed to Island county.
Defendants counsel will take the case to the
jury in the county where the killing occurred
and defendant resides, claiming also that
change of venue was denied and that no new
motion was made. Twelve men were in the
jury box when the trial was summarily stopped.
This case has created considerable interest
here ever since the killing. Dominica Cecilia
had been charged with the murder of John
Deletis in July, 1890 Desgtis was propri-
etor OF grocery store. Cecilia was his clerk
and claims they got into dispute
over wages due, an he cut Deletis head almost
off with razor. Cecilia escaped to the woods,
and was found several days later by the officers.
He resisted arrest and was shot in the thigh,
after having fired at his pursuers. On the former
trial Cecilia was convicted, but the supreme
co1rt reversed the decision, and the case was
remanded to the superior court for second
trial.

Senator Squire Asks $500, ,00O-Meas- :
ure Strongly Advocated.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 25-[Special l-sena-
tor Squire today introduced his bill providing
for an appropriation of s500,0o for ship canal
connecting Lakes Union and Washington with
Puget sound. In accordance with the recon-
mendatious of the chief of engineers who is
earnestly backing up this project and who is
supporting the senator, he put in his bill for the
smaller amount, rather than for s. 500 900, which
he at first intended. The senator says he has
found that in all great improvements of
this kind the work has been generally
carried on by first securing a small ap-
preparation for the entering wedge, and
then getting increases from year to year
until it is completed. 1t was so with the Hen
nepin canal, which was started with the amount
for which he introduced this bill, and which the
engineers estimated would cost at least $1,000
0o0 The bill provides for the amount which
Captain Thomas Symons estimated could be
proftably expended this year. The estimate
was secured by telegraph at the request of Sena-
tor Squire through the chief engineer
When the committee comes 10 consider max
ing this appropriation there will be strong let
ter from the chief of engineers, recommending
that this canal be built, not only for the trans
portation facilities it would form, but because it
would furnish the war department with a har-
Dor unequsled in the world. Senator Squire is
enthusiastic over the scheme, and believes that
an appropriation can be secured TO begin the
work
