1t seems a little odd to find Rep

1t seems a little odd to find Rep
sentative Warner, Of New York
City. who lk.s all during the session
been one Of the faithful band of
House cuckoos, preventing by his
objection action upon Il bill that is
being urged by the administration.
The bill in question is that for the
prevention Of the coming of alien
anarchist migrants and for the de-
portation Of those Dox in the
United States. The bill was unan-
imously passed by the Senate, and
in view of the statement made by
the Treasury officials. that they
were in possession Of descriptions
Of 500 dangerous anarchists who
had been driven out Of France
and Italy by recent legislation
against anarchists and were now
headed for the United States. it was
believed that it could be easily put
through the House under unani-
nous consent, that beis,g the only
way it could bc passed in the
absence Of Il quorum. There is but
little probability that it will be
passed at this session ante>s the
House shall again tinsl itself with ii
quorum present before adjourn
mcnt, and that isn't expeetct. by
anybody. Mr.. Warmers objection
to the bill is that it gives the Super
intendcnt Of migration full power
to dcport alien anarchists without
any action by the courts. Perhaps
Mr.. Warner thinks the alien an
arc1ist votes Of New York City
will bc needed by the Democratic
party this year. ami that his pre-
ventDn of action on this bill will
make sure Of them.
Senator Quay is in charge Of the
little squad of Republican Senators
who have remained in Washington
to see that the Democrats do not
engage in any mischievous lcgisla-
ton during the closing days Of the
session, and right well is he man.
aging the job. So well, in fact,
that he will not even allow several
Democratic Senators to make
speeches to be used for campaign
purposes, which they have pre-
pared. Every time AL attempt is
made to call up bill the attention
Of the chair is called to the absence
of Il quorum, and the game is
blocked. In answer to Democratic
''kicks" Mr.. Quay merely says :
Get your quorum and then you
can do us you like" Senators
have been appealed to by telegraph
to return. but they are not cx-
wctcd to do 50.

us she paid for three under the
Mckinley act.
In answer to the pleading Of the
baby act implied by the claim that
half 4 dozen Democratic Senators
compelled the adoption Of the bill,
he declares that the people can not
be persuaded to believe II story OF
that sort. Those Senators night
have gone over to tho Republicans,
he says, and thus converted the
small Democratic majority in the
Senate into minority, and render
cd it impossible to carry out a
Democratic policy. But they did
not do anything Of the kind. The
record shows that the party major
ity was not once broken. One
surrender after another was made
by the Democratic side of the
Senate acting practically as uuit.
1t was not by Republican votes
that the various obnoxious pro
visions of the measure were passed.
The amendments were all accepted
by the Democratic majority, when
it might have rcjectc@ them if it
had been so disposed. There is
nothing to bc gained, therefore, by
insisting that the few Senators i'll
question coercel both the Senate
and the House. As MIR. johnson
puts it, 1.-The men whom it is pro-
posed to make scapcgoats Of the
most ignominious surrender OF I;

knows are, 50 far as any record
shows, us good Democrats rs the

responsibility rests, that is to say,
upon the Democratic ma jority in

party will be dealt with by the
country accordingly.

THAT there has been a great
change in the political sentiment of
the country since the general
election Of 1892, will he fully
demonstrated this fall. Tho great
tidal wave which swept over
the country in that year, was
was brought about through mis-
representation of the Mckinley
law; and tho people being mis-led
'by such misrepresentation and by
promises made by tho Democrats,
placed that party in power. 1t
did not take tho country long,
however, to find out its mistake,
as was fully proven in Ohio last
year, when Mckinley rolled up his
$4,000 majority. The Democrats
have utterly failed to carry out a
single promise made; they have
proven incompetent to manage tho
affairs of the government, and have
brought about more distress ant]
suffering than any party that ever
had control of tho government.
All this has brought about the
the change;. and tho people must
look to some other party for relief.
FROM the. Populists thoy can
expect nothing, as they will never
be- powerful enough to become Il
factor in politics.. As Sam Jones
says, 1.-The Poputist party is a
hybrid, and will not breed.
Therefore,, it f,als to the Republi.
cans to bring tho country back once
more to the prosperous condition it
enjoyed SO long under the rule OF
that party.

The cuckoos i'll Congress are in
Il pitiable condition. They don't

praise the tariff bill, because they
are not certain whether Mr.. CIcvc-
land intends to allow the bill to
become u law or to veto it. Those
of them who have managed to get
I'm Interview with MIR. Cleveland
since his return have received no
satisfaction. MIR. Wilson, chief of
tho House cuckoos, was confident
two days ago that the bill
would become law without Mr..
CIeveland's signature, but since
he had an hours conference with
MIR. Cleveland he has GROWN ret
icent and will not express his
opinion 1t is said by those who
should know that even the members
of the Cabinet ,tre in doubt It's to
MIR. Clcveland's intentions, and
that at the Cabinet meeting held
yesterday especially to consider
tbs. tariff bill he got the opinions
of bA the members of the Cabinet
who weue thcro-kIerbcrt is out of
town-but did not positively
express his own opinion. This
really means very little, Us Mr..
Cleveland believes that mystery is
one of the chief requisites of
craftsmanship. A few people re-
gard u veto as probable, but the
general impression in Washington
Is that the tariff bill Will become

First, to prevent the denomination

DEATH AFTER ALL NOT so GRIM.
The Final Hour Usually Brings Neither
Fear nor Pain.

The Final Hour Usually Brings Neither
Fear nor Pain.
Familiarity with death Is apt to
alter ones earlier conceptions OF it.
Two ideas are very generally accepted
which experience shows to be false.
One is that the dying usually fear
death; and the other, that the act of
diving Is accompanied by pain. 1t is
we'll known to all physicians that when
death is near its terrors do not seem to
be felt by the patient. Unless the i'm
agination is stimulated by the fright
full portrayal O. the "pangs of death, "or
of the sufferings which some believe
the soul must endu after dissolution,
it is rare, indeed, that the last days
or hours of life are passed In dread:
Oliver Wendell Holmes has recorded
his protest against the custom OF tell
ing q person who does rot actually ask
to know that he cannot recover. AS
that loving observe OF mankind as
serts, so must everyone who knows
whereof he speaks assert that people
almost always come to understand that
recovery Is impossible it IS rarely
heedful to tell anyone that this Is the
case. When nature gives the warning
death appears to be as little feared aa
sleep. Most sick persons a'e very,
very TIED; sleep-long, quiet sleep Is
what they want. [ have seen many
reople die. have never seen ore who
seemed 10 fear death except when 1t
wa or seem Cd to be rather far away.
Even those who are con family haunt
ed while strong and well with dread
of the end of life forgot their fear
when that end is at hand.
AS for the act of dying the final
passage from life to ceath-it IS alb
solutely without evidence that the Oft
repeated asserti ms of its painfulne's
are made. Most people are uncon-
scicu5 for some hours before they die
and In the rare cases where c. nscious'
ness is retained uLimpai ed until few
minutes before the end the last sensa-
ton must DO of perfect calm and rest
II is worse than cruel to add to tho
natural dread OF death which espresso
