THE CONSERVATIVES WON.
Effort to Secure a Reconsideration of
the Hotfon to Adjourn Over Failed.

10 secure n RECOMMENDATION OF
the hOtfon to Adjourn Over Failed.
While the Senate was I'm executive session
yesterday afternoon an effort was made to
secure reconsideration Of the vote by which
the Senate agreed to adjo Irn over until
Monday, in order, it is understood, to per
init opportunity to present a report to-day
on the Cameron Cuban resolution in case
one is agreed upon by the committee. The
motion was made by Senator Carter after
a conference with Senator Cameron The
friends of the resolution apparently Cid not
realize that the adjournment of the Senate
until Monday next might have the effect of
delaying report until after the adjourn
rent had been decided upon They then
concluded that tn ese tactics would leave
only two days before the holidays their
measure might be crowded out entirely un-
vi Wen INTO January. They had little hope
OF securing reconsidaratioa and the result
or Senator Carter's motion proved that in
this way they were correct. The Senate
declined to consider the motion hut acted
promptly upon contra motion by Senator
Aldrich 10 adjourn.
The conservatives on the Cuban question
are inclined to regard his result as sSI.ifi-
cant as showing the feeling Of the Senate
on this question, but the Cuban advocates
assert that such is not me case as the test
was by no means full or air The inc;uent
and the Inference drawn from it, however
serve 70 bifng to the surfa ce he fact winch
has been growing more and mora pafent
daily, that there is a strong element in The
Senate opposed to any radical agitaiion Of
the Cuban question at this time because of
ltS supposed adverse effect upon the cc,n-
trys business interests

ALEXANDRIA, December IS, 1896
The Mcmillan Senate resolution of yester-

that Alexandria, though part of the orig

PartisanshIp Should Be Sunk in the
Effort Save the Country
From Disaster.
New York Herald, Ind. Dem

New York Herald, Ind. Dem.
When the country calls it no time to
cling to party or to hesitate to sink par
tisanship in patriotism. Such a call is
now sounded as clearly as it was in the
early war days. The silverites-Demo
cratic, Republican and Populists-are
massing their forces for an onslaught on
the honor of the nation and prosperity
of the people. Their success would revo-
lutiontize our financial system. 1t would
throw the country ON to silver basis
and thus upset business, unsettle values,
play havoc with industries and bring on
general disaster. That this would be q
national calamity second only to that
which menaced the country when Sum
ter was fred on must be obvious to every
thinking person.
To underrate the extent of strength of
the silver movement would be a grave
mistake To trihe with the crisis by
treating it as an ordinary political con-
test would be perilous. The spread OF
the silver craze has become danger
which cannot be considered too serious
lv or opposed too effectively. Its cham
pions present a united front and must
be met by united front. Its advance
must be resisted by vigorous action and
patriotic determination on the part of
every political leader and every citizen
who would defend the honor and welfare
of the country.
In such a crisis it is no time to think
of party or talk of party issues. AS in
'61 there can be but one issue-the
country; and but two parties-that
which is for the country and that which
is against it. 1t is time for the Re-
publican managers to proclaim truce
on the tariff and unfurl the single ban
ner OF honest money. 1t is a time for
all Democrats opposed to the Chicago
platform to rise above party considera-
tions and work to defeat the Populistic
silver ticket.
If that ticket is to be defeated and the
disaster which it meuaces averted, Re-
publicans and Democrats must resolve
to wage the most effective campaign
possible for the safety of the country.
If partisanship is thus sunk in patriot
ism, the result of the contest is not to be
| feared.

BrIstol's Horse show.

A most astonishing and wonderful ex-
hibltion will be given at the opera house
next week. 1t is the first entertainment
here of Prof. u. NJ. Bristol's eques-cur-
riculum of thirty horses, ponies and
mules. This entire troup appears at
one time on the stage without bride or
rein, in an entertainment running two
hours and half, being pure in tone and
moral and instructive throughout, and
one that will linger long in the memories
of those who witness it. The enter
tainment comes endorsed by popular
praises as being the most unique exhi-
bItion of the age. Mind cannot conceive
of anything more pleasurable to the ad-
mirer of mans best friend, "the horse. ="
The most perfect docility and highest
order of intelligence, that it would be
undertaking to cali mere instinct, are all
said to be exemplifed in this great troup
OF actors. 'The Louisville Courier
Journal of a fortnight ago, said 'Prot.
Bristol's Eques-Curriculum is worthy
the attention of everyone who ever loved
horse. Such perfectly trained animals
were never seen together before, and
they give far more interesting en-
tertainment than do most of the dra-
matte companies. The animals present
none of the cheap tricks that are so well
known in the circus ring, but in every
respect perform feats that have never
been attempt before. They have a
perfect school, with which the program
opens. They arrange their own school
furniture, mule acts as monitor, one as
teacher, and they do everything that a
scholar is supposed 10 do while at school.
The famous horse, Sultan, adds, sub
tracts, multiplies and divides any num-
bers contained within thirty that are
given him by the audience. He also
tells the time by the watch to the min
ute. Two other horses, Denver and
Dynamite, swing, ekip the rope, churn
butter, act as walters, letter carriers,
and play ball, as well as perform on the
flying swing or trapeze. To describe all
that is done by the educated horses,
ponies and mules would be impossible,
as the program is a very lengthy one.
1t is only necessary to say that the exhi-
bition ia a most remarkable one, and
that the audiences everywhere are fully
carried away by the entertainment given
by these dumb brutes. They do every
thing but talk, and hold the attention OF
their auditors from first to last
Strictly popular prices will prevail, 25,
35 and SO cents. Children are permitted
to any part of the house for % cents al
the matinee on Tuesday.
