Catching It From the World.

The leading Demo cratic journal in this
country is, beyond question, the New
World. Listen to what it says about
Democratic responsibility:
''It is time for plain speaking. There
are nineteen or twenty Southern Dem
ocratic Senators, who are disgusting the
country, betraying their party and open
ly antagonizing the will of the American
people.
''The Democrats have majority in
the Senate. They are responsible for all
that is done or left undone there. If the
Republicans fail at any point in their
duty to assist in repeating the law which
they passed for political purposes, but
now condemn, the country will settle
with them. But members Of the respon-
sible majority are assisting in obstrnct-
ing repeal, and the country has distinct
ly lost patience with their course.
''The party is pledged to repeal. It
was one of the promises on the strength
of which the people gave the Democrats
control of the Government. To fail in
the fulfllment of that promise would be
to forfeit the right to popular confidence
in the future.
''Yet when the party leaders in the
Senate undertake to do this duty in re-
spouse to the appeal of a Democratic Adj
ministration, about score of Southern
Senators who profess to be Democrats,
but who seem to have no regard for the
party's promises or principles and no
concern for it's good faith, ally thensel-
YES with Republican rotten borough Sen
ators and filibuster and prevent vote.
at is not only melancholy spectacle
it is very disgraceful one. These men
have assumed position of resistance
to the minority-to the majority of the
Senate, to the majority of Democratic
Senators, to the unprecedented majority
in the House, to the pledge of the plat
form on which they and the Administra-
ton were elected and to the will of the
people.
"What are the loyal and faithful and
housekeeping Democracts going to do
about this thing? The country's patience
is worn out with waiting that IS both
costly and perilous. 1t looks to the De-
mocratic majority to act. Ifit is disap-
pointed it will hold the Democratic ma
jority responsible.
cit is time for the Democratic leaders
to call discipline upon their recalcitrant
followers. > It is time TO make an issue.
1t is time to insist upon faithfulness to
party principles and promises as a final
test of party fealty. If rupture comes
let it come. A divided party is incalcul-
ably better than faithless, tricky, pro-
mise-breaking party.

The BANKRUPTCY BILL Is DEFEATED
4 Measure Repeating the State Bank Tax
That Has the Presidents Approval.
Tin Plate Schedule Changed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Sin the house,
Kilgore Of Texas, called up the bill to ad-
NIT Utah to statehood and the republic
cans began to filibuster. The morning
hour expired without action on the bill
and the house went into committee Of
the whole on the bankruptcy bill. Bland
moved to strike out the enacting clause,
and after an exciting debate the motion
prevailed. The vote by which the bank
ruptcy bill was killed stood 1872 yeas and
Ill nays. The house then adjourned I'M
til Monday.
The subcommittee of the banking and
currency committee on the repeal OF the
ten per cent tax on state bank circulation
reported bill repeating the tax to the
full committee this morning. The bill
as framed by the subcommittee does
not repeal the tax Internationally but
provides that the issne OF currency shall
he uuder the direction OF the comptroller
of the currency and shall be limited in
amount. 1t is understood the bill has
the approval OF the president.
The democratic members Of the ways
and means committee Of the house have
changed the tin plate schedule OF the
tariff bill from ad valorem to specific
duty, fixing the rate at one and one fifth
cents per pound, or one cent lower than
the present tariff.

GERMAN BONDHOLDERs MEET.
Oregon Railway and Navigation DefA ulta
in Its December Interest.

Oregon Railway and Navigation Defaults
in Its December Interest.
BERLIN, Dec. Ga meeting OF German
bondholders Of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company, of which it is
claimed the largest number OF shares are
held in Germany, convened this morn
ing. 1t was called on account of the
non-payment Of the December coupons,
according to report received in Berlin
of the Union Pacific Railroad. The
meeting was convened by the Deutsche
Bank and DR.. Barthe read long report
on the situation, which said that the
fact that the December coupons would
not be paid should not brighten the bond
holders. The Oregon Railway and Nav
igation Company, the report continued,
WAS commercially in happy position, az
it was the Union Paci6c's only outlet to
the coast. The character OF the country
forbids parallel line and traffic of the
company can never be taken away from
it. 1t was added that it may be possible
in the interest of the Union Pacific to
make the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton an independent company, and place
it in position to make arrangements
with the Northern and Central Pacific,
whichever was the most advisable. The
meeting received the report and elected
a committee to represent their interesta
with full power to act.

Many Protests sent In Against the New
Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE ways and
means committee has been listening as
a sub-com mittee in groups OF twos and
threas and Individually to the complaints
Of those who want the tariff changed in
different particulars which will affect
their interests. Among the delegations
was one representing large playing card
manufacturing concerns OF New YORK,
Cincinnati and Indianapolis, who claim
! that q less tax would yield greater rev.
enue and enable manufacturers to con-
tipue in business. A democratic mem
Der of the committee said they expected
these protests would be made. They
are not disturbed by them, and are not
inclined to make any changes, unless it
appears that some unintentional error
! has been made. Efforts are being made
by democrats dissatisfied with the bill to
have a caucus held. Members Of the
conn ittee do not want the caucus and
will probably use their best endeavors tc
prevent one. Friends OF the administers
ton are not counted on to prevent eau
Gus. The tariff bill will be taken up by
the full committee and democrats think
in three or four days it can be reported
to the house. Republicans want more
time, but democrats will insist on re-
porting the bill and having several se
speeches in the house before the holiday
| season.

South BEND, Ind, Dec. S.-The South

was robbed Of over SIS, 900 today. The
deed was committed in broad daylight,
while hundreds of people were on the
street, and the robbers succeeded in get
ting away with the booty without lesv-
ing the slightest clue. Cashier Myron
Campbell remained in the bank, in the
heart OF the city, until all the employees
had gone. Then, as he supposed, he
locked the middle doors of the big vault
and left everything in usual shape for
the noon recess. II was fifteen minutes
after ~ O'Clock when he left. In ten
minutes one of the clerks returned and
found the rear window open and the
door unlocked. Examination OF the safe
developed that the robbers secured

in turning the combination knob of the
middle door Of the vault, the one de-
pended on at the noon hour, the cashier
did not turn it far enough to scatter the
tumblers. By q mere chance the rob-
beers happened to turn it the right way
and unlock the door. The robbers did
not touch any money that would be at
once missed. On the top Of the safe
was q counter tray, containing about
$4,000. Not a dollar of this was touched.
They confined themselves to the safe,

WASHINGTON, Dec. SIT is not known
definitely what the house committee on
banking and currency will do upon the
bill to repeal the 10 per cent tax on state
banks. A bill will be reported as
soon as vote in the committee is
reached Of the II members Of the com
mittee. The SIX republicans, Springer of
Illinois and Sperry OF Connecticut will
vote against reporting the bill. johnson
OF Ohio, who was supposed to he doubt
full, says he is against the bill. but will
report it favorably from the committee
to get it before the house. He thinks
with matter Of this importance, in
which 30 many members are interested,
the question should be brought before
the house for consideration, but will re-
serve the right to vote against the bill on
the floor OF the house. Several members
who we're for repeal before the mes
sage have expressed themselves since az
different, or believing it would not be

LONDON, Dec. 6.-In connection with
the arrest of man at Hampstead yester-

coming and decamped. They found in
the room q tin can containing twenty.
four pounds Of dynamite in cakes. Be-
fore opening it. it was immersed in
a cistern, where it fixed and loaned
over the sides Of the receptacle. 1t was
then dispatched to the government ex-
plosive laboratory. There it was ascer-
tanned that it contained fuses and all the
apparatus necessary for explosions, and
that it would have had terribly de-
structive effect. The police expect to
make large number OF arrests in con-
