ton which was adopted BY a vote Of "a to
p in the Senate, as putting on the records
Of the Senate an absolute falsehood The
amendment declares the sympathy Of our
people with all efforts to establish Republi
can Institutions. .reafirms the policy Of abso-
lutte non-nterferenee with the affairs of
other nations, and closes ny declaring that
the administration deserves approval for
maintaining that policy. Mr. Teller
showed conclusively that the administra-
ton had not maintained that policy towards
Hawaii, and it would have been easy for
him to have shown that It had acted d.
rectly contrary to that policy in several
other instances, notably at the beginning
of the war between China and Japan. Re
publicans were somewhat surprised to find
one Observation-Disclosures voting with
p Democrats for the Vest amendment,
and the hope is expressed that he only did
50 to be in a position to move a reoonsid-
Grafton later. Senator Frye's speech re
tuting the silly SANDER about Hawaiian
bonds being sold in New England was
scorcher.
Republicans in she House will do moth
ing to prevent the passage of the bill for
the repeal Of the differential duty on sugar
from countries paying an export duty on
sugar, which will probably be passed by
the uouse this week. They will, how
ever, call especial attention to the declara
ton of the German government that this
sugar duty had nothing to do with the en-
barge placed on,American cattle and meats,
notwithstanding Representative Wilson's
having in his opening speech in favor Of
this repeal bill insisted that it did AS ex
Speaker Reed tersely puts it, the bill is so
Insignificant that nobody cares anything
about it /"
The. New Republican Senator from
North Carolina-Mr Pritchard although
not yet a week in his seat, has cast two
important votes, one for the Nicaragua
Canal bill which passed by a vote of 81
to zI, and one against the Vest amend
ment to the Hawaiian resolution. Mr..
Prtchard has made an excellent impress
sion upon his colleagues.
Much regret is expressed among Repub-
lcans in Congress because of the disputes
which are delaying the election of Repub-
lican Senators by several legislatures
Such disputes are always stumbling blocks

An object lesson in Democratic states
manship was given when a
number of Democratic members
of the House unblushingly and openly op-
posed an appropriation for the detection of
persons violating the internal revenue laws
specifically illicit distillers, The reason
for the opposition may be found in the re
ply of Chairman Savers, of the Appropri-
alton committee, who is a Democrat, but
not one of the moonshiner kind, to ques-
ton asked by Representative Swanson, of
Virginia, as to whether the abolition of
the fee system had not been recommended:
- do not know. and am not willing
to take the gent!eman's word for it so long
as his election to the House depends upon
The moonshine vote
Secretary Carlisle is directly responsible
for the action of the House in putting two
financial bills as riders on the Sundry
Civil appropriation bill, but he went to
the Capitol and personally appealed to
Democrats not to vote against them One
of the amendments gives Mr.. Carlisle dis
cretion as to the denomination of notes is
sued in places Of those redeemed, and the
other makes gold certificates non receiv
able for customs due after July I, next,
and forbids their use as part of the reserve
of national banks The Secretary's ac-
ton will not be lost upon the Senate. And
he may wish before the session closes
that he had not taken the initiative in at
taching financial riders 10 appropriation
bills.
