w. Bourke Cochran and Senator Muir
ply Seen Dining Together.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Those persons
about the capitol who knew the drift
of events in and around New York,
and especially the so-called New York
contingent, are discussing a little in
cident witnessed in the senate restaur-
ant yesterday. w. Bourke Cochran
and Senator Murphy dined together
there.
To the ordinary observer this Incl
dent meant nothing. To the politician
it was source of wonder as to what
it really did mean. This was the first
public demonstration Of anything like
a reconciliation between these two
gentlemen since the heated campaign
for the succession to Senator Hiscock,
and it naturally attracted the notice
of New Workers.

The real question was whether the
government Of the United States had
interfered to overthrow the existing
government of Hawaii. If it had, it
was the duty of the president of the
United States, representing the gov
eminent, to make prompt reparation
and to reinstate the government which
it had oyerthrown.
Mr.. Mills was followed by Senator
Villas, of Wisconsin, who defended the
administration and argued that the
senate was acting with undue haste in
discussing the subject in the absence
Of facts
Senator Villas thought there were
reasons why the resolutions should not
be adopted at this time. He referred
to the remarks of Hoar, as to the re-
ported action of the president being
an act of war, and asked whether the
landing of troops and the overthrow
of a government by virtue Of their
force was not an act Of war.
Hoar replied that the troops were
landed under the allegation that they
were to be used to protect the lives
and property of American citizens.
The queen yielded to an armed insur-
rection and not to American troops.
Hoar continued: after the president
sent a letter addressed to My great
and good brother, President Dole it
would be an act Of infamy only ex-
celled by the act Of Joab when he
stabbed his neighbor under the fifth
rib and then asked, Art thou in good
health, my brother? 0aughter.)
Villas protested that was not the
question. Mr. Hoar replied that the

Wisconsin and the senator from Texas

THE sale Of $4,000 of school bonds at
Great Falls, Mont. on Monday last at a
premium of $3.50 and accrued interest
is evidence that the character of this
class of securities is unimpaired by the
the recent financial furry and that the
stringency is relaxing. The premium
paid is a tritie over three per cent or in
figures s32.12is on each 81 900. Judging
from this sale. there seems to be good
reason to believe that the $4,000 of
bonds that District No. l of Custer
county have for sale. will be readily dis
posed of at a premium. The first offer
ing of their bonds was unfortunately
just at the time when the financial storm
was at its height. and though there has
been scores of inquiries frem intending
bidders, non at the time felt secure
enough of the future to make a bid.
Now that the feeling of insecurity is
past. we may look for a ready sale at the
second Offering of the bonds.

GIVE IT \ REST.

A long suffering public will o de
mand relief from the recital in the news
papers of the repeated trials of the Rev.
Mr.. Briggs for an offence against the
orthodox creed of the Presbyterian
church that few understand the merits
of. Once in about every three months
the reyerened culprit is hailed across the
continent. before a court of distinguish
ed diyines. and after a weary session of
days or weeks as the case may be. in
which the hair splitting of both prosecu-
ton and defense would do credit to a
brace of criminal lawyers. the defend
ant is declared, generally by a close vote
to be victorious. and a patient public
begin to feel that the matter is finally
settled. But alas. they are more re-
sources in ecclesiastical jurisprudence
than a Tombs lawyer has any concep-
tiou of. and with a change Of scene and
season the uninteresting discussion
m up again the contestants. in the
language of t~istiana. somewhat distig-
ured but still in the ring" We have no
doubt the question at issue, is Of great
importance to the few who enjoy its
discussion. but We will wager that there
is no one man in a thousand Of the gen
eral reaching public who can tell what
the row is about. Ard this being true.
why not give if a rest. or at least relegate
IT to the religious press.
