THE VOTES ~ THE SENATE.

The vote in the Senate on the question or
closure was exactly what might have been "X
pecicd. and what 1t should have been II WAS
known. and by the Democrats even openly pro-
.claimed that the sole object Of 4 change of
rifles ut the short session was 10 secure the
massage Of certain tariff bills, which were in
fiat defiance OF the will Of the people declared
M the last elections. The one claim which has
force I'm favor OF closure, is that II Il necessary
10 enable the will Of the people to take effect
when il might be ihwaroI by Il minority. In
this case the will of the people was about 10 be
BETRAYED. defeated and dcficd by the majority,
from whom the people has deliberately with
drawn their trust There is no room 10 doubt
about the purpose Of Democratic Senators
There is no room 10 doubt about the hostile
purpose Of the people. No party has ever been
ovcrthrown by more overwhelming majority
than the Democratic party. on account Of The
very policy which Senators wish 10 carry into
effect by suppressng the minority. In this case
n vote against closure In the Senate was II vote
TO uphold the sovereignty Of the people.
The vote Oh the sugar question was much
less simple Two distinct motives Influenced
Republicans first, To shut ont any action on
the tariff question. which might under the rules

Oh the Frer-Tradc bills demanded by the Demo
cratic majority: and second, the feeling that
the record Of the Republican party In favor OF
bounty TO American producers Of sugar should
be upheld. and that the repeal Of the duty on
refined sugar should not be permitted without
restoration Of the bounty granted In 1880. The
first reason was sound and sufficient. No bill
relating 10 the sugar duty alone could have
been brought before the Senate without the
possibility that the committee In charge might
al any moment have accepted amendments en-
bodyng other bills which the Democrats wished
TO pass taking of all duties from coal and iron
ore II II had been possible to secure separate
action the sugar question, without any
amendments whatever, the case would have
been different. but II was the intention OF the
Democratic ma jority, and doubtless Of the Pres
idcnt who repeated In his message an urgent
recommendation for repeal OF duties on coal
and irOn that these measures should be put
through together and by amendments Of the
Sugar bill for which II was hoped 10 secure
consideration.
The second reason has weight only with those

MR.. DAILY HONOREU.

II was some time ago made known that the
University Of Notre Dame had honOred Mr.
Auglstin DAILY by comforting upon him. in
recognition of distinguished services rendered
10 the Catholic public Of America, decoration
known rs the Laeiarc Medal The formal
presentation Of that badge Of honor occurred
Yesterday afternoon, at the home Of the Roman
Catholic Archbishop Of New-YOrk, and 1t was
witnessed by n distinguished company. Mr..
Dalv who as the manager OF the best and
foremost Of American theatres has done so
much for the advancement Of taste, the Illus
tration Of art, and tbr cause OF charity, merits,
10 the fullest extent, the honor thus awarded
10 him. and the Protestant no less than the
Catholic community will hear with pleasure Of
this addition TO his laurels. The custom Of hon
orIng those who contribute TO the public welfare
and the National dignity seems to be growing
in the United States, and surely 1t ought to be
stimulated and encouraged since nothing 40
much contributes 10 the stability Of society.
An institution Of learning, such as the Unver-
sity Of Notre Dame, cannot act more wisely than
1t does when seeking out, for public recognition
and homage, the benefactors OF the people and
those who direct toward good results the arfis-
tic forces Of the time. The Laetare,-or re-

Some valuable light on School Commissioner

account of what occurred between him anu
Commissioner Rogers, one Of the men recently

times before the appointments TO the Board
were made Mr. Knox called on Mr. Rogers ana
said that he was candidate for reelection;
finally he represented himself az having been
sent by the Mayor, and virtually told Rogers
he would be reappoInted only on condition that
he would pledge his support TO Knox. Mr..
Gilroy denies emphatically that he had any in
tention Of coercing Mr.. Rogcrs's vote. This
leaves President Knox under a cloud but those
