M'K|hLEf'S BOOM ON
Mr.. Wilson Started the Cam
paign in the House.
VAIN EFFORTS TO STOP HIM
He Secured an Easy Opening and
Then Landed the Apostle of Pro-
lection in Spite Ofa Chorus of Points
of order-Indian Appropriation Bill
Was Up.

When Mr.. Wilson, of Ohio, yesterday
dental boom In the House 1t caused friends
OF the various aspirants to have at
tacks of the cold shivers
They realized the impending danger, but
were powerless TO avert ii. Objections
and points of orticr were vooiferousIy inter
posed, but the attempts to pin Mr.. Wilson
down to discussion OF the subject matter
before the House proved futile and the
Mckinley boom will go into the Record.
In discussing the Indian appropriation
bill, Mr.. Wilson contended that the In
dians, above all things else, required etlu-
cation. Then, awaiting himself of an easy
opening, he succeeded in introducing the
Mckinley boom by saying that Congress
would never have money enough to edu-
cate the Indians until it passed good
old-fashiohed Republican protective tariff
bill, framed upon the principles Of the one
with which the name of the American
whose name stood as a synonym for pro-
lection was connected. (Applause.)
GOT IN THE RECORD.
To prove that Ex-Governor Mckinley had
not abandoned his position in favor of the
American system of protection he asked
the clerk to read a portion OF that gentle
mans remarks 1T the Marquette Club din
ner, February IL.
This at once woke up the friends of other
Presidential candidates and considerable
confusion prevailed. Mr.. Bennett, Rep.
New York, shouted: II object The
chairman (Mr. Payne, Rep, New York;
asked to what does the gentleman object?
The gentleman from Ohio offers this to be
read as part of his remarks. The gentle
man from New York may raise point
OF order. if he desires"
Mr.. Bennett make the point of order
that ii is out OF order.
The Chair promptly The point of order
is oyerruleI.
Mr. W. A Stone, Rep, Pal incline to
the belief that the chair has made mistake

night Laughter.l
FRANTIC EFFORTS To STOP HIM.
The clerk began to read the speech but
was interrupted early by Mr.. Brewster,
Rep. y. Y, who made The point that the
extract was out OF order because it in
truduced politics into this hail. which was
greeted with loud laughter: as was also
Isis further suggestion that it was not
germane tothe subject under discussion.
The reading was continued and was
greeted with applause from members who
agreed with the sentiment expressed. Pro
ceeding with his remarks Mr.. Wilson de-
clared amidst applause that down deep in
the hearts of the American people the ques-
ton of protection as the national policy was
forever settled. After further discuTSiye
remarks by Mr.. Wilson general debate onthe
bill was ended, ami tiIe reading OF the bin
for amendment was iIegIn. hut before any
appreciaple hcadway had been made, the
House AT 80 adjourned until tomorrow.

chiefs Sebat and AgoS is important as
showing that the natives have little con
fidence in the white troops.

Inasmuch as a fat salary usually has
tendency TO deafen the ear OF an official
to the appeals OF those in distress, it might
be well to inform Attorney General Har-
mon that at least 20 O,OO0 employees have
already been discharged by the coal trust
in its efforts TO restrict production, and
that the price of anthracite coal has been
advanced % cents n ton throughout the
country. Also that there is coed reason to
believe that another increase Of price is
contemplated by the coal harons. and if he
as our legal magnate can find time to look

opportunity to enforce it against Il combine

that filled the American heart with yalor

gold reserve and quietly dwindled away,
or is safely i'll hiding for fear of catching
the Cuban war fever. The administra-
ton, after having added volumes of vanity
to its stock OF self-confidence through pen
and ink defiance of Great B ritain, has apnar-
emily settled down To the ponderous task
of construc citing platitudcs with which
to announce the report OF the Venezuelan
commission. Midst this lapse of red fire
enthusiasm all is peace, sweet, gentle peace.
On the other hand, our neighbors across
the border propose to be ready for war
should circumstances demand. The
Canadian parliament is on the point of
appropriating $4,000 900 tostrengthen the
defenses OF that country, and English in
structors will soon be placed in charge OF
the volunteer militia. For some time past
arms and munitions of war have been
quietly stored away for use in the future,
and while we have been talking about war
Canada has been busily preparing for it
on scale commensurate with her present
peaceful condition.

So deeply h>s the pail of forgetfulness
fallen over the Venezuela incident that the
whip-poor- speech of Senator Davis on
the Monroe doctrine did not awaken an
echo. A few weeks ago even the corn
shocks OF the country would have been
compelled to close their ears to the din
of the public clamor had such a forcible
argument III favor OF the American policy
been made, and Congress would have
adopted the Senator's resolution with an
unanimity that would have made the stars
On oEr national banner twinkle with de
light. But it Will require something more
fetching than a patriotic speech TO again
stir The American heart, and we must wait

HE civil service commissioners have

ence with the Public Printer relating
to the enforcement of the civil service
law. Mr.. Benedict is very sarcastic In
some of his letters. For instance. he
speaks of the temporary employees, who
brought their claims before the .commis-
SION thus:
Il regret such Il necessity as such tenn
porary employees, aside from the eight
hours work given to the public service
here, spend the remaining sixteen hours
of the day seeking influence and aid in Sc
curing permanent appointments, and i'll
your letter recognize that they have
undertaken To secure your powerful tn-
fluence in their aid

office the thirty-sX names OF temporary
employees whom you say you regret that
cannot see my way clear to place in po-
sition of preference over other as worthy
and .skilllul temporary employees of recent
date"
In another communication he assures the
commissioners that he has not the least
doubt OF his ability to secure competent
employees providing the civil service COM
miSsloners secure competent eligible list
In concluding the spondence, he says:
Il know OF no method whereby your board
of examiners may be placed i'll a position
as competent judges OF the work and pur-
poses of the Public Printer In the emplOy-
ment OF person, except that the board or
examiners were taken into his confidence
