THE UNITED STATES SENATE

A correspondent, writing his paper
from Washington, takes the position
that the United States Senate is no
longer what 1t was in days gone by. II
the truth must be told, says he, 1t is
a body in decadence. He says that the
Intellectual tone of the Senate is falling
far below old-time standard, and asks:
Where are the Conkllns, the Thur
mans, the Fessendens, the Wades. the
Becks, the Trumbulls. the Summers, the
brilliant, broad and able men of this
day? One hunts almost in vain for
them in the Senate chamber" He ad-
mits that there are Senators of ability
and high character among them, but
says: The dry rot appears to be in
them, and the pail Of partyism, Of mar
rowness or of slothfulness seems to be
hanging over one and all Rarely, In
deed, does the debate rise to a respecta-
BILE level. If the cranks are not exploit
ing their single Idea the brawlers are
engaged in personalities sadly out of
place in the Senate. The upper branch
of the American Congress has fallen on
evil days"
No doubt that a part of this Is
true, but there are yet men CT intel
lect ard of high character In the upper
Housewife will compare favorbaly with
those who have preceded them. 1t
is unfortunate, however. that there is
so much partizanship diplayed in
the debates of the Senate, and that
party interests often takes the place
of that Of the country, burt 1t cannot be
said that this was ever more so than
in the days of the Wades. the Summers.

MIR. BAYARD'S ANSWER.

Ambassador Bayard in response to
the demand made upon the Pretsi-
dent by Congress for all the papers
connected with his Edinburgh. Scot
land. and Boston. Eng, speeches. has
obligingly sent copies of the same for
the information of Congress, and they
In turn have been transmitted by the
president to that August body.
Mr.. Bayard's answer Is dignified and
plain, as would be supposed, coming
from such man. and Congress will
discover in the end that 1t has made
mistake in requiring any explanation
Of the affair whatever.
The Baltimore Sun commenting on
the subject very properly remarks +:

ton would have been demanded by n
Rouse Of Representatives which had
q proper respect for itself, as well as

"wAxrs TO SELF CUBA"

Now comes the story that Spain wants
to sell Cuba to England but there is
no reason to suppose that the English
Government cares TO acquire Cuba at
this time, either by purchase of other
wise.
That Great Britain would like to num-
Der the Island among it's possessions
no one doubts, but owing to the condi-
ton of affairs at the present time that
country would simply be counting trou-
blc even to think of it. The English
Foreign Office has too many complica-
tons on hand to look for more. and
especially IN the quarter suggested.
The fact Is, despite oil the buster and
display made by John Bull during the
past month or SO, 1t Is we'll known that
British sentiment favors a concilatory
policy towards the United States. Eng
land knows very well that the United
States would not permit the transfer
OF Cuba to that country. and upon the
whole, the story of Spain wanting to
sell to Great Britain is but one more
of the foolish rumors with which the
country has been treated so frequently
since the arise of the dispute between
the two nations

tiers to Great Britain have discussed
political 3sub1ects before learned socie-
ties, and no objection was raised. al
though sensitive partisans who were in
search OF. q cause Of offense might pos
sibly. have found what they desired
somewhere beween the lines. But II
our Ambassador Is not to be allowed to
express his personal views either before
q learned society or at IAN informal
gathering and In an informal way, we
would do well to send to England some
man who Is dumb or else has no Views
of any kind upon any subject. No man,
OF attainments who is called upon to
speak on the most varied occasions
would be willing to go abroad as an
american ambassador with q paddock
upon his lips. When such a man is
sent we had better put him in charge
of trusty nurse"
There are no truer men than Thomas
F. Bayard. and his Amerlcanism will
stand the test of the best.

TWO coTroN NILES IN ONE DAY.

The Charleston News and Courier
notes with some degree of pride that on
Monday last that city made two appli-
cations for charters for cotton mills
TO be erected in Charleston. The cost
of one of these mills is to be $780, 600,
and the other sl0O, 900. the latter to be
run on the cooperative plan, and Is to
have 5000 spindles. Mills and fRcto-
ries build cities and the people of Char
lesion seem to understand this fact.
With the erection of mills and facto-
rIes comes an increase of population.
and with population business.
The Palmetto State" is forging
ahead in this line of Industrial develop
ment. and in time will become the CEN
tire of great wealth. North Carolina,
too, is especially fortunate In the pro-
motion of the cotton mill Industry, and
the example might be followed with
profit by some other section Of the
South. What the two Carolinas and
Georgia have done In this direction
might be done as well by Virginia, and
Norfolk, IL it chooses. could take the
lead.
