back that "the old way is good enough"
must not be listened to. Men are not
made for the constitution they have
grown away from it, as the Senate of
to day shows. Then let the constitu.
ton be made for the men. 1t is neces-
sary. If this be not done something
more serious than change in the con-
stitution may come to pass.
1t is preposterous that the absurd
rules of the Senate are not changed.
They impede legislation. In the good
old days when newspapers were few
and travelling and everything else was
slow, six months wrangle over bill
might have cost the country but little.
Yet the Senate rules of to-day are the
same as those of the good old days
and give one or two Senators the
same privilege of obstructing all legis-
lation so long as they choose. This is
not longer bearable. The world moves
faster than formerly and congress
must keep pace with it.
The two congressional reforms here
outlined cannot be had too soon. The
Senators must be answerable to the
people for their action, and they must
adopt rules for the expedition of busi-
ness. The present Senate has EN-
phasized the necessity for change in
these rules and if not made future
Senates are likely to continue the
abuses noticed in this. Tile Patriot.

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baftied the medical profession
more than nasal catarrh. While not
immediately fatal it is among the most
nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh
is heir to, and the records show very
few or no cases of radical cure Of
chronic catarrh by any of the many
modes of treatment until the intro
duction Of Ely's Cream Balm few
years ago. The success Of this prep
aration has been most gratifying and
surprising. No druggists is without it.

The Tribulations of Innovations.

evidently not in full sympathy with

an inconsistent pretence that both

only test, no matter whether he fails
or passes in the Civil Service exami-

No doubt Mr.. Clark has also dis

In the course of his remarks in op-

of the anxiety of examiners to pro-

means high prices for what the laborer
and the producer buy and deprecated

Thousand Delegates.
CLEVELAND, o., June 22.-The Ma
tional convention of Christian En-.
city on July IL, continuing until the
18th. The attendance is expected to
number $4,000. The hall, entertain
ment and reception committees have
been laying plans for year in antici-
pa ton of eclipsing every thing that
has preceded their work. The two
principal places of meeting are
on Wilson evenue, broad and
beautiful thoroughfare running south
from Lake Erie. S8ngerfest hall
stands on the corner of Scovill and
Wilson avenues, and a mammoth tent
will be pitched on the corner of Cedar
and Wilson avenues. Each place will
easily accommodate 10000 persons.
Two large churches near by have been
secured for overflow meetings. Music
hall, with a capaci ty of 5000, has been
secured in case meeting is needed in
the bust ness part of the city,.
Entertainment is will be in hotels and
private residences. Hotel rates will
vary from so to "a day, according
to the hotel and the number of dele
gates occupying the same room. Each
state will have headquarters in
church, and the delegates will be placed
in the homes of that neighborhood. As
the different delegations arrive they
will be taken at once to their state
headquarters, where their will reg
lister and receive the convention
badge, without which entrance can not
be gained to the meetings. As each
delegate registers he will receive
billet, Stating where and what
his accommodations are, and what they
cost. Guides will at once escort dele
gates to their homes. The committee
is planning for large restaurants near
the convention buildings, to accommo-
date those who are assigned to distant
parts of the city.
Two large chorus choirs and two Or
chestras will lead the music. Mr.. Percy
S. Foster, of Washington, D. c.; Mr.. Fl.

majority and Minority Reports of the Com
mifeee on the COntumaci0us Witnesses
Submitted to the Senate-Why the Mi
nority Dissent from the Findings Of tho
Majorfty-Careful Not to Exceed Their
Powers.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The commit
tee late this afternoon laid before the
senate its report on the cases of the
contumacious witnesses. Senators
Gray and Lindsay, in dissenting, re-
ported that they did not believe that
In our system of government unlimited
power is deposited by the peo-
pie anywhere, but that, on the
other hand, limited power was
conspicuously kept in view by
the trainers of that government. They
do not feel at liberty, therefore, to inn
pute to the senate a purpose to pursue
ends clearly beyond the scope of its
power. Admitting that inquiry as to
whether certain persons have made
contributions to any political party to
secure or defeat federal legislation is
within the competency of the senate to
make, they deny that it is within such
competency to direct an inquiry as to
who has contributed to the campaign
fund of any political party without
reference to the purpose for which the
contribution was made.
Therefore, in obedience to the WELL
established rule that where a construc-
ton is possible which brings law
within the enacting power of the leg
islature, such construction shall OBJ
tain, they have felt compelled to con-
strue the resolution so as to make the
instruction of the senate to the COM
mittee ITO inquire whether any con-
tributions have been made by the Sugar
trust or any person connected there
with to any political party for cam
paign or election purposes to secure or
defeat federal legislation"
As will appear from the evidence of
Mr.. Havemeyer and Mr.. Searles, sub
mitted to the senate, the question was
in substance thus put to them and an
swered in the negative. The report
concludes:
1T is the opinion of the undersigned
that the resolutions under which this
committee is acting will not admit of
the Interpretation necessary to support
the report of the Majority of the COM
mittee, and that the said witnesses
have not refused to answer any ques-
ton that was pertinent to the inquiry
with which the committee was or
could have been properly charged.

THE LISBON BAKERS STRIKE.

The Strikers Compelled to Go to Work
Under Military and Police Surveillance.
LISBON, June 23.-The encampment
of the 5000 bakers of this city who
struck against municipal regulation
requiring the master bakers to deposit
5000 refs as guarantee that they will
sell bread of proper weight was sur
rounded by strong force of military
and police at 4 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
The striking bakers were escorted in
custody of the troops into Lisbon,
where they will be compelled to re-
sumo work under military and police
supervision. AS many of the strikers
are Spaniards, and as the latter are be-
lieved to be the leaders of the strikers,
they will be Immediately expelled from
Portugal. During the two days which
the bakers passed in their camp out
side of Lisbon, soldiers were employed
to bake bread enough to supply the de-
mand of the citizens.
