mltted to the House the report of the
committee which made an investiga-
tion into the charges made Representa-

the aisles of the House, and drunken
speakers had debated grave questions
and were heard to remark, "Mr Speaker.

mlttee says 1T has no hesitation in de-
claring that the charges contained in
the sense In which they are made are
ialse ana Hhelous under the strict est
legal definition OF those terms; that the
charge involving Representative Cobb
was strongly contradicted by witnesses
and there was nothing IN the evidence
to justify thy imputation made against
him. The facts are, the report SAYS
that three, and possibly four, members
appeared on the floor under the inti,l.
ence Of liquor, but none in the condi-
ton described. The committee Will re-
port a resolution which Will say that
the charges made in Mr.. Watson's book
are not true. aid constitute an unwar.

has the unqualified disapprOval of that

Cholera in Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 8.-The
official list CT the deaths from cholera
were published today. The number OF
victims up to August is given as 23.-
9l9. Appalling reports have been re.
ceived of the ravages of cholera in the
government Of Saratoft and Samara. 1t
Is officially reported that the deaths
number not less than 300 daily. The
ignorant multitude in many places re-
sist all sanitary precautions and attack
the doctors and others engaged in at
tempting to alleviate the disease. The
latest advices from Moscow state that
the panic there is on the increase. The
cholera is becoming more virulent at
Novorgod, and people there blame
Baranotf, the governor, for not taking
better measures of prevention. Baran.
off, in reply to popular criticism, has in
creased the severity with which he pun
ishes his critics. Two respectable citl-
zcns, by orders OF the governor, were
publicly punished with 100 iashes of the
knout for having spoken unfavoraby re-
garding the sanitary arrangements is made
by BaranOtf.

Aim OF the Party.

WAsHINGTON, Aug. ll.-Mr. Hol-
man has printed speech IN the Con-
Srcssional Record dealing with the ap.
preparations made at The late session of
Congress from a Democratic standpoint.
He says: Appropriations made at
this session Of Congress, including per-
mancnt appropriations, show a rcduc-
ton of $33, $40, 30 under the appropria-
tons made at the last session of the last
Congress, or a rcduCt III equivalent to
500 600 to each Congressional district
i'll the United States, but for purposes
of comparison the amount of the river
and harbOr bin, &2l, l53 ,GlS, should be
deducted from tho appropriations OF this
session, fOI the reason. that no river
and harbOr bill was passed at the last
session Of Congress, against the appro-
priatlons ot which ,osc made at this
session should be logically cuutrastcd
without the river and hnrbor bill appro-
rriat;Ons, made at the sccoud session of
the Fitty,Iiirst Congress-"
The tuLa! appropriations of the Fifty
first Con.lrsS were : ,O35 ,Gs6,q2l. The
average appropriations by the Fity.
first Congress i"r each Of Its two scs-
sions were S5lT.N43, 400. The total APP
preparations made at this session
amount u 500, ,70l $50, including the
river aud harhor I'll, bling :33 $50, POI
less than those made AZ the last session
of Congress, and dcductiuy the river
and harDNr bill the reduction is - ,GS2 =
900, and IN contrast with average ap.
propriatl"ns i0r the two sessions Of The
last Congress the reduction Is $40. .l42,-
0SO.
Mr.. Holman states that SO, j21 COZ
OF The appropriations made ut The scS-
sion just ended were pursuant to laws
(such AZ sugar bounty, pension, etc. y
enacted by the preceding Congress.
He says: In other words, but for the
laws enacted during the last Congress,
the appropriations at thia session would
be go ,521 ,GO2 less than they arc, and
they would amount IT, only ji2S, ,lT3,-
~, Or sll3, ,ojG,30l less than the APP
preparations Of the lt3:. session. and
$G6, ,2S2,4T0 less than tie appropriations
OF the first session OF thn last Congress.
Mr.. Holman says that the Fifty
second Congress has authorized the con-
| structinu ot no new buildings; that its
appropriations we're > per cent. less
than the average OF the Fiity-tirst Con
gress; that more offices were abolished
than were created and more salaries ru.

cnt session at Congress Will not fully

county will consider III comparing The
appropriations OF The present session

He charges enormous activity on tn,
part OF powerful iobhics, the union O
the administration and the Senate

1t seems to mo that man who uu-

Duncombe who nominated Gov. Boies

tlOn to his veto Of what was known as
the DeS Moines river land settlers bill
and has received tue following reply:
GRAY GABLES, BUZZARD's BAY,
MASS, July 26.
Hon. John II. DuncOmbe:-
My DEAR SIR: Your letter Of July
l3 is at hand and thank You for the
friendly sentiments which 1t contains.
remember very we'll the perplexities
involved In my action upon the Des-
Molnes river land grant. My memory
IS entirely Clear upon two points which
largely entered into my consideration
After reading the decisions of the
sourts upon the questions involved in
the bill which was before me for my
action, it was entirely clear that the
only result of legislation would be to
further involve the Unfortunate settlers
In litigation, and further load them
with expense to no purpose. Subse-
quent events seemed to have approved
that l was right III this. Another
thought which was firmly in mind
which was distinctly and emphatically
declared In my veto was to the effect
Jlf7tt II any settler had been induced to
90 upon land and expend money on i'm
provements Oh facts Of some ruling of
the land department such settler should
be fairly and justly remunerated for his
outlay. should nave been glad at any
time to have relieved such settlers if 1t
had been possible for me to do 80, and no
one can accuse me of acting in a man,
ner in any other spirit than that of tx
treme Kindness and tenderness toward
those who had been injured by vacilla-
tlon Of the government officials. This
matter can be made so plain by refer.
ence to the laws and to my veto and to
Judicial decisions bearing upon the
point, that ] do not see how it is posi-
BILE for any persons to misreprescnt OF
misunderstood the true condition.
Very truly yours,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

LABOR ETHICS.

In the army of workingmen at
Homestead we are told, there are
many expert sharp-shooters, men
who have learned to use the rifle !;
for game is comparatively plenti-
fnl in the neighboring mountains,
and the workingmen are not SO
poor but that they can enjoy a
days sport occasionally, In fact
the employees of the Homestead
works are not at all q poor class of
men; and it is fortunate for them
and tor the cause of labor in gen
eral that they are not. Like the
farmers of Concord and Lexington,
they have entered into the present
fight as much for the sake of prin-
ciple as because of the money in
terest at stake. Like the men of
the Revolution again, they are
willing to fight because they know
how--a fact of unreasonable i'm
portnnce in the morale of any
body of men,.
The result of that ability TO pro-
tect themselves, deplorable as was
the necessity for its use, is worth
all it has cost. AS a first conse~
quence we look to the disbanding
everywhere Of the lawless army OF
Pinker.on guards. Several States
have already forbidden their inn
p%ortation from other common.
wealths, but that is not enough.
The Federal Government must
forbid their very existence as an
organization; otherwise it would
be quite easy for the Carnegie
Company, the Reading Railroad,
the Standard Oil Company, or any
other great corporation to recruit
