Church and State and the Hawaiian Gable
the Chief Topics Ct Debate.
. 4e Senate devoted itself to business
yesterday and would have completed the
Indian appropriation bill had not discus
sion arisen on the sectarian school ques
ton. 1t brought out wide range of de-
bate on the separation of church and state,
in the course of which the express0ns were
general that the government should en-
tirely abandon denominational schools.
On yea and nay vote an exception
was made in the case of the Indian school
OF Hampton, Va. and the Lincoln, OF Phila-
delphia, on the ground HAT they were not
strictly denominational. The sectarian
question was still under consideration
when the Senate adjourned.
During the day two of the Senator's
elect from the Carolinas made their first
appearance on the floor OF the Senate, and
their credentials presented for the terms
beginning March 4 next.
The financial question did not come up
during the day, except indirectly i'll a
speech by Mr.. Allen, opposing an issue OF
sewer bonds for Washington ID. c., and
dealing with recent financial conditions.
The House devoted most of yesterday to
the consideration of the Senate amendment
to the consular and diplomatic appropri-
alton bill appropriating $500 900 for,
the construction of a cable to tie Haw allan
Islands. Messrs. Ryan, Bartlett, and
Sickles, Democrats, of New York, spoke
in favor of the amendment, which was de-
feated by a vote OF ia TO 152-sixteen
Democrats voting for the cable Tie bill
was sent to further conference
The conference report on tie bill TO pro-
vide for the examination and classification
of certain lands in the Northern Pacific
grant in Montana and Idaho was agreed
TO and a short time spent in the considera-
tion of the general deficiency bill, the
last of the appropriation bills to be passed
by the House
The remainder of tie day after $50 was
devoted to eulogies on the life and public
services of the late Senator Stockbridge,
of Michigan.

SENATORIAL CONTESTS.
Some Anxiety Over the Delays in Oregon
Delaware, and Idaho

DeldN3TS, anu
Interest in the contest over the election
of Senators in the States of Oregon,
Delaware, and Idaho was revived in the
Senate yesterday by the circulation of
telegram received by Senator Mitchell,
of Oregon, stating that the legislature Of
that State would either adjourn to night
or tomorrow, but the apprehension which
this part of the telegram aroused among
Republican Senators was somewhat allayed
Dy the assurance that an election would
occur before adjournment.
The information which this dispatch
brought led to inquiry as TO the outlook
for adjournment in Idaho and the pros
pect OF an election there. Senator Du-
bois was able TO state that the session
would close March Z but he could furnish
no information as to the prospect of an
election.
There is no limit to the term of the Del
aware legislature. There has been a
Slight renewal of the talk of having the
Republican members combine in some
recommendations to the legislatures of
these various States as to the necessity
of making q Senatorial choice before ad-
Journnlent, but the same objection has
been made to. such action at this time that
was made when the project was first
agitated and it does not appear probable
that anything viii be done.

Messrs. Tillman and Butler, of the Caro-.
linas, on the Floor of the Senate.
Senators elect Tillman, Of South Caro-
lima, and Butler. of North Carolina, Were
both on the floor of the Senate for some time
yesterday. Mr.. Tillman was accompanied
by Gov. Evans, of South Carolina, and the
two held quite a reception Immediately to
the rear of where Senator Butler, of North
Carolina, sat.
Mr.. Tillman said he expected to remain
for three or four days, and expressed the
hope that he would not be called upon to re-
turn to Washington for an extra session.
He was assigned the seat to be vacated by
Senator Martin, of Kansas, Which is next
to the seat occupied by his colleague, Sen
ator Irby.
Senator-elect Butler has not yet chosen a
seat or indicated on which side of the Senate
he prefers TO be located. After being in
troduced to large number of Senators he
went out to lunch with Senator Peffer.

THE American Grow.

Secretary Morton has been dis
tressngly quiet for a long time.
We feel uneasy when the secretary
is quiet. We fear he does not feel
well, and we are interested in his
health. As Artemus Ward used to
say, ''hc's such an amOozing cuss"
that we do not want to lose him.
But for months he has not written
"a foolish letter, made foolish
speech or insultcd the farmer cX-
ccpt by holding onto the Office Of
Secretary of Agriculture. But
his silence is now explained. He
has been dcvoting himself to the
study of crow. the black crow. the
crow Of the corn field. Most farm
crs do not like the crow. 1t is an
impudcnt bird and always has an
enormous appetite. But the fact
that the farmer is not Il friend to
the crow, is all that is needed to
be said to indicate that Morton is.
The Secretary says that his bird
ship is pretty fair sort of a crca-
ture that he is not nearly rs dcs-
tructivc as he is claimed to be and
that he eats bushels of insects to
every grain Of corn that he con-
sumes. 1t may now be expected
that scarc-crOws will become obSO-
lete, and that if the boy on the
farm must shoot, he will bang away
at horse or COW instead of the
crow. If Mr.. Morton continues
to turn himself inside out we shall
soon see all there is in him. So
far he is an enemy of farm organi-
zation, a merry-maker over the
Russian thistle, a friend of Wall
streets gold money and defender
of the crow. During the next
year he will have time to show the
blessings of drouth, early frostS,
the chinch bug and the potato rot.
Great is our agricultural depart
mont and Morton is its prophet

the 18th Illinois Congressional Dis
trict-in which the question of free
silver was at issue-went Republi-

election may have meant, it was a
clear condemnation of a party that
violated the pledges of its national
platform. 1t is not probable that
the people have gained very much.

Don't You think that newspapers
should be supported Ifyou ever
think logically you are aware of
the fact. Then begin by practice
instead of precept, and pay your
subscription, advertise or patron
ize those who advertise in this pa
per. Make good beginning.
Maybe you seem to think that it
doesn't pay to be on the good side
of a paper. If you are not on
that side, do you think your 60
ing into a new city will be noticed
by your home papers, and do you
think you deserve a puff when you
care not what becomes of your
paper. When you have done
nought to support and encourage
the management Of your paper
what can you expect from 1t!
Your vanity is not so callous from
Indifference that you don't care
what the press has to say about you.
You know this is fact. So plank
up your dollar, tell our adverti-
sers when you buy anything you
have seen in the PoPULIsT, and
come around occasionally, and
above all remember that unless you
can form and manifest a desire to
help your paper, you may expect
nothing from them-that's all
your conduct entities you to-for
they can be, and usually are as in
different as you may be.
