and blossomed beautifully. One day
a nieghbor, seeing the flowers, said,
oh, how beautiful? Wont you

the neighhor bad just seen the seeds, she
wouldn't have called for them. Twas
only when she saw how beautiful was
the blossom she wanted the seed.
And so with Christianity. When we

Provision Made in the Civil Appropriation
Bill for Commission.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The senate
financial committee at its meeting today
ordered favorable report on the amend
ment to the sundry civil appropriation
bill. to provide for the appointment of
commission of nine. on behalf of the
United States, to attend an international
conference on the rehabilitation of silver
in case one shall be decided upon.
The provision for the selection of three
members from the senate and three from

ments made by the committee strike
out the provision in the original resolu-
tion specifying the countries upon whose
invitation the president shall determine
that this country be represented, and
simply provide that he shall act with
such conference if called.
There is also a change in the wording
of the provision in regard to the appoint
ment of commissioners on behalf of the
United States, which is made to read as
follows: The United States shall be rep
resented at such conference by nine del
agates, to be selected as follows:
The president of the United States
shall select three of the delegates. the
senate shall select three members of the
senate as delegates and the house of rep
resentatives shall select three mem bers

be any vacancy, such vacancy shall be
filled by the president of the United

TO STOP WARS
Between Employers of Labor
and Employees.
The National Arbitration Bill
Called Up.
ITS CHIEF FEATURE
CHIEF FEATURE
Provides for Incorporation of
Labor Organizations.
Which Are to Be Dealt With as
Such.

WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-In the house
today Mir. McGann, of the labor commit
tee, called up the national arbitration
bill, entitled "a bill concerning carriers
engaged in interstate commerce and
their employees"
The purpose of the bill is to pro-
vide a board of Cancellation con-
sisting of the commissioner of
labor and the chairman of the
interstate commerce commission whose
duty it should be when a controversy
concerning wages, hours of labor or con-
ditions of employment arose between a
carrier under this act and the employees
of such carrier, seriously interrupting or
threatening to interrupt the business of
said carrier-to put themselves in COM
munication with the parties to such con-
troversy.
They shall use their best efforts by
meditation and Cancellation to amicably
settle the same and if such efforts should
be successful should at once endeavor to
bring about an arbitration of said con-
troversy but submitting the same to a
board consisting of three persons, one
to be chosen by the employees, one by the
employer and those two selecting the
third.
Mr.. Erdman Dem, Penna). explained
was originally drawn by the attorney
general, and after being carefully con-
sidered and perfected by the committee
today, had the support of all the chiefs
of labor organizations involved and of
the commissioner of labor.
"Does the bill provide a compulsory
arbitration" asked Mr.. Simpson.
by no MEANS" replied Mr.. Erdman.
''The railroads favor it. The laborng
men have considered it in all its phases,
and their. represe natives are here today
anxiously urging ii. The bill has behind
it the unanimous support of our commit
tee"
"When a difference is submitted to ar
bitration under the provisions of this
bill," interrupted Mr.. Dlngley, rep,
Maine) and the arbitratots render deci-
sion, how is it to be enforced?
''1he DEGREES are to be enforced by the
courts" replied Mr. Erdman.
1.-The courts can enforce decree, or
award as against Il railroad company
which owns property" suggested Mr..
Dingley, But how can it enforce it as
against employes?"
THE employees are to be treated as far
as possible, as incorporated bodies," re-
sponded Mr.. Erdman.
Mr. McLeary (Rep., Ninn.) called at
tention to the section of the bill which
provided also labor organizations,
claiming benefit under it, should
have in their articles of incorporation a
clause providing that members should
forfeit their membership if they failed
to comply with an arbitration award.
The Bill Passes.
p. m.-The national arbitration bill
passed the house without division.

killed in the senate ways and means
committee late yesterday. Tho reason
of this is explained by Chairman Rog
ers, who said to JOURNAL. reporter:
"Senator Jumpers bill appropriating
$1,000 for a heating and electric
lighting plant in capitol square sepa-
rate from the state house has passed
the senate and is now in the house.
These two bills the committee thought
conflict; or at least if the Jumper bill
passes there is no need of this appro-
priatiOn. Then we are going to be pretty
liberal with the Topeka asylum. We
will give you $4,000 down and aquarter
of a mill levy for the state house, and
you people mustn't want too much"
1t is evident that the senate ways and
means people don't understand the de-
lightful feeling that creeps over legis-
lator when it is officially announced
that the boiler three stories below is
liable to explode any minute and send
them to join the anti railroad bills.

p NJ. Cheks, pastor of Big Bethel
church, was cheered when he told how
the North Carolina legislature had put
Douglass first, Washington second, and
Lee third. Carter, the pastor of the
Friendship Baptist church, declared he
would marry a white woman if he could,
and said the negroes only envied Fred
Douglass because he had succeeded
where they had failed.
He made the hit of the evening.
Morris, a grand son-in- law of Fred
Douglass, devoted most of his eulogy on
Douglass to the burning question of Jim
Crow cases and advised the negroes to
carry their cases to the supreme court,
and finally brought down the house by
declaring Fred Douglass ranked next
to Jesus Christ.
