, Doctrines of Democracy

p doctrines of Democracy.
Secretary Carlisle was the guest of the
Manhattan Club in New York last night.
After the reception a banquet was served
in the dining hall, at the conclusion of
which Mr.. Coudert. in introducing the
guest of the evening, said: THE states
man we have with US tonight Is worthy of
our respect and consideration. Mr.. Car
isles proudest title Is that of pedagogue.
1t is the schoolmaster that rules the world.
and the great title of our hopored guest
tonight is that of schoolmaster of the ma
ton in sound finances"
When Secretary Carlisle arose to address
the assemblage he was greeted with loud
applause. After thanking the club for its
hospitality aud fol the cordial reception it
had extended to him, he said:
Il wanted to be here tonight because I
knew that your halls would be thronged
and your tables surrounded mainly by old
fashioned democrats who have never re-
pudiated, and I am sure never will re-
pudiate, the principles Of their party
sound money, just taxation, economy in the
expenditure of the public moneys honesty
and fidelity in the discharge Of official
duty and the preservation of individual
liberty and the rights Of the states.''
After an extended argument against the
free coinage Of silver, Mr.. Carlisle con-
cluded as follows:
Gentlemen, the democratic party is not
dead. CheersD The time is not at hand
to dissolve it's organization and distribute
(Cheers) I hope the democratic party will
enter upon the coming political contest
on a perfectly sound declaration of prin-
ciples. If it does. it will come out of it
with unimpaired strength, with unblrm-
ished record and with courage for the
fight

SPANS PRESS CENSORSHIP

The Philadelphia Press Correspond.
ent i'm Cuba Imprisoned.
Murat Halstead telegraphs to the Phila-
Gelphia Press from Havana:
Charles Nicholson, correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press here, and his inter-
prefer. Lorenzo Betancourt. were arrested
this morning at 2 o'clock by officers who
searched the room and strictly examined
everything. At 8 o'clock the prisoners
were taken to Moro Castle, where they
row are and cannot be seen until their
statement Is taken and considered by the
authorities.
My declaration to the American consul
is already in the hands Of the chief Of
poles. The consul general and myself
will see the captain general as soon as
possible. Tho arrest grows out Of an at
tempt yesterday to visit the combat scene
beyond Marianao and being refused au-
tLority. Others ventured through, am
told, and It was assumed that Nicholson
and his Interpreter had violated orders.
Possibly Michelsons kodak has something
to do with it. No pains will be spared to
secure the speedy release Of the prisoners.

THE CUBAN DEBATE.
Speeches i'm the Senate-Mr. MOrgan
Concludes.

Speeches i'm the senate-Mr. Morgan
Concludes.
Senator Morgan yesterday concluded the
formal part of his speech on the Cuban
resolutions which mainly consisted in the
setting forth Of documents, and in laying
the foundation for further remarks. He
then yielded the floor TO Mr.. Gray, saying
that he should present other considerations
in behalf Of the insurgents later.
Mr.. Gray proceeded to argue that the
recognition of belligerency was not within
the powers Of Congress The President had
the sole power in this direction. This
statement brought out a sharp legal Diff
ference between Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Gray,
the former asserting that the President
had no power to recognize belligerents
without the approval of Congress. Mr..
Gray Insisted that the pending resolutions
gave an expression Of sympathy, but did
not involve a recognition of belligerency.
The Senator urged the adoption of a SYM
pathetic resolution.
Mr.. LIZ dge read an interview with Gen.
Weylcr prior to tine captain generals de.
parture from Madrid, stating that he did
not expect to crush the rebellion within
the next year. The general added that he
intended to ''exterminate" the insurgents
In Havana and other provinces.
Mr.. Lodge said it disclosed how long
Spain expected to prolong this bloody
struggle. The Senator urged the adoption
OF the resolution for bellfgerency and also
1or the Cameron amendment looking to
fndepender ce. Mere words were not what
the people wanted. Action and decisive ac-
ton was what was needed
Mr.: Stewart spoke against the bloody
murders preceding in Cuba. 1t was the
duty Of the United States to abate this in
t"rnational nuisance, this slaughter house.
existing in Cuba.
Mr.. Call submitted tables showing that
EpVU Spanish soldiers were operating in
Cuba. The Senator declared that the tollr
or Sym athy' for Cuba was cowardly in
the face of the atrocities in Cuba He
gave notice that he would move an amend
ment for the recognition of the complete
independence of Cuba, which statement
brought out a burst of applause from the
galleries.

CHARTER OBLIGATIONS.
The Attorney for the District Rec,
mends Senate Bill 572

mends Senate Bill ST.
The attorney for the District Mr.. s. 7.
Thomas. has rendered an important opinion
upon Senate bill 572, providing penalties for
charter violations by street car companies
In passing upon the bill he says ii Is
necessary In order to enforce the charter
obligations Of the street railroads to have
such legislation as Is proposed. The change
In the form of government since the two
principal railroads were chartered renders
the present government unable to compel
the observance by those companies Of
number of duties enjoned upon them. In
several Of the charters of the railways in
corporated since 1871, he says. there is no
penalty provided for compelling them to
observe their duties. And. again. some
Of the street railways have ceased to oper-
ate portions of their lines, which they have
apparently abandoned, leaving the streets
incumbered by railway tracks. In such
case the Commissioners are powerless to
enforce the duty of such corporations At
present, he says, their only remedy is to
tear up the old tracks, put the street in
good condition and depend upon a suit
against the railway company for reim-
bursement. As the bill is designed to sup
ply defects and deficiencies in the charters
OF street railway companies, Attorney
Thomas thinks it would be well to state
In express terms that it be applied to street
railway companies.

Chairman Dinglcy's Views.

Chairman Dingley Of the ways and means
committee, in reply to an inquiry as to
the effect of the refusal of the Senate yes
terday to consider the House revenue
bill, said:
"Of course, this ends all chances for the
passage of any revenue bill BY solid
democratic and populstic vote-making in
themselves a majority, without the votes
OF the five free silver republicans who join
ed them-the Senate has said that it will
not have the forty millions of revenue Of
fered by the House bill to prevent further
deficiencies. The House has done it's duty
IN Offering revenue. but this majority of the
Senate assumes the full responsibility for
refusing 1t, and no doubt President Cleve-
land is grateful to them for relieving him
from the difficult position he would have
been in If the bill had reached him and he
had interposed a veto. The vote of the
Senate simply means that so far as the ma
jority of that body is concerned they want
the deficiency to continue with the bond
sales which it necessitates''
