Laughing on the Other Side Now.
detroit Free Press.)

The Republican leaders ard organs made
themselves very merry while the last Con-
gress was in session over the inability of
the majority to carry a measure regarded
by the party leaders as important. and they
laughed themselves almost into fits when
the measure had To be shorn Of some of its
best features in order to get it passed by
a sem-traitorous Senate. They are laugh
ing uow-as they saying is-on the other
side of the mouth. With a ma iority far
bigger than the Democracy had in the last
Congress, the 2. o. p. finds itself utterly
unable to carry the simplest measure,
though it has proclaimed vociferously that
the welfare of the country and its most
cherished interests are at stake.

Allied With Free Silver Heretics.

There are symptoms of purpose on the
part OF the Republican leaders, some OF
them at least, to WOO the fre,.-silver vote
by new compromise The organization
of the Senate by the Republicans was only
effected by treaty with the silver Sen
ators, the practical results of which are
that Mr.. Reeds tariff and bond bills are
both hung up in that body, with the GER
tainty that the bond bill at least will
never reach the President. 1t is obvious
that the silver Senators could net have OBJ
tanned this masterful position and power
to prevent the passage of Mr.. Reeds bond
bill unless MIR. Reeds friends in the SEN
ate had come to an understanding with
them for that purpose.

tanning it.
The provisions made by Congress for in
creasing the District water supply can only
suffice for a more or less limited period.
With the Great Falls water rights in its pos
session, Washington would have a supply
for all its needs, even after it comes to be a
city of halfInillion souls. 1t would be
ample not only for all necessary uses but
for artistic purposes also, such as roun-
portant results would be cheapening of
water rents. and thereby the utilization of
the water supply by the poorer classes, who
are now in a large degree debarred from it.

Deterioration in the Senate.

tNtW ioih h''h anu f-APies'
A sorry spectacle is being presented in
the United States Senate. Ii has been the
habit of the American people to regard
with pride. as well as with a distinct
feeling of confidence and reinsurance. the
upper house OF Congress. The Senate has
always been associated in our thought and
speech with the most exalted conception
OF personal dignity and patriotic devotion.
But what a Notifying change has recently
occurred. The Senate of the nation is
today in the control OF men whose only dis
tinction is the surprise which their pres
ence in that body perpetually exCites.

Congress should regard favorably the rec
concentration OF the COMMISSIONERS to ac-
uuire title for the United States of the
land and water rights at Great Falls. This
proposition has been urged heretofore, and
probably commends itself to the favorable
consideration of nine-lenths of the popula-
ton OF the District, for that it would not
only make possible an unlimited increase of
the city's water supply, but furnish the
and other manufacturing establishments.
1t is quite probable that the District could
derive such revenue from renting this power
for various Industrial purposes as TO more

what is the matter with the morality
party in Ohio? Three members OF the
legislature have been Indicted for giving
ana receiving brides, and it is believed
that true bills have been returned as to
several others. Is it possible that any of
these wicked people whom John Sherman
suspected of tempting the poor negro dele
gate have been tampering with the pure
minded Republicans Of Ohio? Or is some
enemy of Mckinley taking this plan to
wound his boom?

The arrest of number of ohio legislators
under the bribery law is surprising, not
because of the rarity of bribery in legisla-
tive bodies, but because getting the stuff'
for legislative action has been SO com
mon of late years-if current reports have
any foundation-that bribery has taken the
place of argument in the Hobbies oflegislative

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY was the sub

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY was the sub
u ject of discussion with n little group
last night. His political prospects, Pros
idential and Otherwise. had been discussed
pro and con and anecdotes OF the Napole-
onic figure Were in order.
1.-THE most notable personal character
istic of Mckinley is his foor memory, abb
sent-ni ndcdrcss," said Mfr. Lorin A.
Brown OF Ohio. incidents OF il are very
common in Ohlo's capital, and when he WIS
here his bad memory was always getting
him into trouble. One of his great annoy
anccs was 10 leave his home in the morn
ing, bound for the Capitol and forget to
take with him any money.
He would be without the price OF
lunch. car-fare or anything else, and would
then proceed TO borrow doAar from
some one. I think almost every member OF
that Congress had the pleasure at one time or
another OF lending Mckinley a dollar. One
day a Washington lawyer OF note was on
the floor OF the House talking TO the Ohio
statesman wbenA ,bc latter suddenly said,
by the way | owe YOU dollar He
pulled q ten dollar bib from his pocket
and sent page out to have it changed
into ones.
The boy brought hack the change, and
as he did so another Congressman pre-
scented himself TO whom Mckinley also
owed dollar. Another and another fl
nally came into his mind until the ten one
dollar bills were exhausted and he was
almost square with the House.

THE MINORITY REPORT.

minority report was submitted by Sen
ator Cameron.
Mr.. Cameron favored the immediate pa ss-
age OF a resolution recognizing the beIliger-
anCy OF the insurgents, and in his report
lie cited much OF The history of the late
war OF the rebellion, to show the attitude
OF the Spanish government toward the
United States at that time. When the vote in
committee was taken several Sena tors
were absent. but all present voted for the
Resolution as drawn by Mr.. Morgan. among
them being Mr.. Morgan. Mr.. Lodge, Mr..
Gray, Mr.. Turpie and Mr.. Frye.
In the consideration of this question the
comittee found itself badly hampered by
the statements of Hamilton Fish. which APP
pear in the fourth annual message OF Presi-
dent Grant during the previous revolution
in Cuba This state paper takes strong
grounds against the acknowledgment of
belligerent rights. and the committee, al
though the insurgents are much more power
full now and have accomplished vastly more
than they did during the ten years war,
did not see its way clear to throw aside the
commitment to policy fastened upon the
government by Mr. Fish.
Whether the resolutions meet the ap-
prevail of the President or not the commit
tee does not know. Acting under il. il will
be the duty of the President to tender his
good offices L" Spain and urge her to rec
ugniZe a state of war in the island and
proceed to treat prisoners as prisoners of
war.
Should Spain do this, then this country
can also treat the revoiutionistS as in
surgcnts. and they will have eoual rights
in the United States for the purchase of
munitions OF war, the issuance of bonds
and bills of credit, &c On the contrary,
said one OF TIE most prominent members
of the committee this morning, should
Spain refuse to do as this government
requests. and should she follow out the
policy of treating the revolutionists as il
is feared the new captain general win treat
them the next step WILDE but short time in
coming.
This will be n resolution recognizing the
belligerency OF the insurgents and granting
them. so far as this nation is concerned.
all the rights and privileges of one estab-
lished nation at war with another.
The committee would rather have gone
with Mr.. Cameron. but existing treaties
and conditions suggested that Congress
ought first TO endeavor to bring about
recognized condition of war by Spain
before proceeding to the last resort.
Members of the committee say that unless
Spain shows a speedy determination to
conduct her warfare against the Cubans
after the fashion of other civilized coun-
tries, she will be brought face to face with
the power of the United States eNerted
in behalf of the Cuban insurgents within
a very short time.
