THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

Washington. Dec I5.-The House to-
day entered upon the consideration OF the
Loud bill TO amend the law relating to
the transmission of second class mail
matter. The bill has been widely dis
cussed in the public press and has met
with the most intense opposition from
certain quarters. 1t denies the right of
serial novels to admission to the mails
at the newspaper cent per pound rates.
denies to newspapers the sample copy
privilege. prohibits the return of unsold
publications at pound rates, and makes
some changes in the present law designed
to correct existing abuses. 4 change in
the second class mail matter law has been
repeatedly urged by successive postmaster
Generals. 1t was estimated that the
abuses of the law had cost the govern
ment $24O, 100000 in the last ten years.
Mr. Loud. of California, the author of the
measure, brought it forward to-day quite
unexpectedly to a majority of the mem
bers of the House. The opposition, led by
Mr.. Quigg, of New York, inaugurated
filibuster and attempted to prevent its
consideration by adjourning, but the
House stood by Mr.. Loud on two votes,
defeating the opposition 134 to 102, and
141 to 50. The opposition, however, are
hopeful of defeating the measure when ii
is put on its final passage. Mr. Loud
made an opening speech on the measure,
during which he declared that the bill
would save the government S20,000,000
annually. He also said that it had receiy-
ed the endorsement of the newspaper
publishers association, and was only OPP
posed by those who participated in the
bounty obtained under the present law.
The exact status Of the bill is questiona-
ble Tomorrow the appropriation bills
viii be brought forward TO displace it.
Before this bill was brought up, the
bill to re-organize the Atlantic and Paci-
fie Railroad Company was called up and
passed with some amendments after an
hours debate The bill as passed gives
to the purchasers under foreclosure sale,
all the rights of the old company under
its government charter, but it provides
that it shall assume all the debts and
obligations OF the old company and the
lands unearned, July 6, 1886, along the
then uncompleted portions of the road
shall, as a condition precedent to re-or-
ganization be relinquished in writing
by the purchasers.
introduced joint resolution directing
the President to intervene in Cuban ef-
fairs. The resolution after reciting Gen
eral Maceo's assassination and Spanish
cruelties In Cuba, says that the President
has failed to carry out the wishes OF the
people; that the honor OF the United
States is at stake and that history gives
no precedent on which to base a hope
that Spanish operators win change to
compliance with civilized warfare. The
President is directed to express severe
condemnation Of the Spanish methods OF
warfare especially the murder OF Maceo,
to recognize the independence OF Cuba
and to demand of Spain the withdrawal
OF all troops from Cuban soil. He is
also directed to take proper steps to see
that this demand is carried out.
At 4.32 the House adjourned

WANTED TO BE ACTORS
Why Boys Stole Diamond Rings
and Sod Them.
Two Men Urged Them on to the Com
mission of the Crime-Held
for Trial.

Julius Golding aud Robert Beuter, alias
William Ayton, were arraigned befCxr
Judge Miller for preliminary bea ring
this forenouu on the charges OF grand lar
ceny aud receiving stolen property, il be-
ing alleged that the men were implicated
in the theft OF George " Drivers diamond
rings.
william Driver. the Young son of the
restaurant and uotei keeper, was the first
witness. Young Driver stated that, with
William Brooks, a fifteen year-Son of L
dry goods dealer, he went to Golding, who
has somewhat OF reputation q ; magician
and who lately was conducting a small
dime museum on y street, and told him
they would like to travel with show.
Golding introduced them to Beuter. All
talked over the project, and Golding said
if tue boys wanted TO go with his show
they would have 10 have each $50.
Young Driver told the man he could not
get any money, nut could steal several dia-
mOnd rings from his father. All thenagreed
that the boy should take the jewelry and
then pawn it.
On Monday nigth the lad stole into his
fathers bedroom and took two diamond
rings and two plain gold rings from
bureau. He met Brooks and went Ia Gold

was also disposed of and the quartet went

OUR SOLDIER BOYS.

The departure this evening of the teams
from the Morton Cadets and the District
Engineer Corps for Savannah is the be-
ginning of a brief season of anxious. yet
confident, expectation on the part of the
friends of the District National Guard.
which means everybody in Washington.
The Morton Cadets send drill team; the
Engineers two detachments, to win glory
and prizes at the rifle range. Experience
warrants the hope that our boys will not
return without trophies, and, besides, Will
impress upon their competitors, as well as
upon all who witness their evolutions and
prowess, the excellent condition of the
local military organization.
The constant improvement in the eff
cheney and esprit du corps of our cit-
zen soldiery is gratiryingiy apparent at
the inspections. The inspecting Officers
have expressed themselves in unmeasured
terms of praise, and predict great things
for the future. The effect of military train
ing upon the High School boys has been
found to be most beneficial. The dis
ripline to which they are subjected helps
to develop their manly bearing, and, be-
sides, is of great advantage to them ply
sically.
1t is pleasant to note that the Senate has
shown some appreciation OF all these facts
by increasing the limited appropriation Of
the House for the District militia, and il
the bill prepared by Assistant Secretary Of
War Doe, to which reference was made re-
Gently by The Times, becomes law, our
soldier boys, in common with the National
Guard throughout the country, will make
a still better showing.

LAW AND LYNCHING.

The Baltimore Herald strangely remarks
that the murder of Elsie Kreglo fur
nishes another object lesson for those SEN
timentalists who indefatigably declaim
against lynching, but never seem to con-
slider the proyocation.'' Objection to
lynching is not based upon sentinentalism,
but upon a sense OF justice and Of the fit
ness of social order If murder is the I'M
lawful taking of life, with malice pre-
pense," then lynching is murder, for it
makes no difference whether the unlawful
taking of life is done by one personor by a
hundred. In fact, lyncbing appears like
an aggravated form of murder, for it is
deliberately planned and executed. 1t -
the vengeance of the mob upon an Offend
ing member of society.
Thelogic of cur Baltimore contemporary,
followed to its ultimate conclusion, would
lead to the destruction Of all social order
and the trampling under foot of all law,
for ir the mob is to be the arbter Of u
mans fate, courts are superfluOus for the
administration OF justice, and all the care
fully constructed and jeaIously guarded
system of social order might as well give
way to the chaotic condition that results
when one mans hand is raised against an
other. The greater the provocation to wrest
a criminal from the custody of the Officer
of the law and iuflict summary punishment
upon him, the more will a community
demonstrate the progress OF civilization
and Its own sense of peace and order by
putting restraint upon its inclination to do
violence aud permitting the majesty OF
the law. to mete out justice.
objectionable, however, as is the rule OF
mob law, the unnecessary delay that marks
the majority of our criminal trials is scarce
ly less SO. IT is that which irritates aud
provokes the people. The processes OF
justice ought to be as swift as is consist
ent with the proper safeguarding of the
rights OF the accused person, guaranteed
him by the law Of the land. 1t should not
be possible for criminal case to drag its
slow length through a succession of courts
for years. Mere technicalities should not
be permitted TO delay punishment. English
Irwin Ford's case would be disposed of there
within month or two. including trial and
If convicted, execution. Such prOmptness
satisfies public opinion and acts as de-
classes. The same course pursued here
would have the same effect aud the provo
cation for mob violence would disappear.

wASHINGTON'S COLLEGES.

The graduation of students Of the Dental
progress OF that Institution calls atten-
tion to the fact that Washington is rapidly
attaining to a place in the front rank of
cities, where professional studies can be
pursued to the greatest possible advantage
of those who desire 10 devote themselves
thereto. This is especially gratifying, be-
cause IL shows that in a few year WASH
ington has gained place which ordinarily
is achieved in a very much longer period.
II is noteworthy, in this connection, that
the local college is patrCnized not only by
residents OF the District, but by persous
from a distance who thus testify To the
Gesirabilty OF acquiring their profe ssiunal
education in this city.
The rapid increase and healthy growth
OF important educational institutions in
this city must be source Of pride to
Washingt ouians, for practically they have
come about in less than a quarter of
century. Before that period Georgetown
and Columbian Universities were about the
only colleges of prominence here. and their
sphere of operation was but limited. To-
day two great universities, one already
in full bloom, the other almost ready to
start on its career OF usefulness. and u
number of colleges dealing with special
subjects, invite the students from near
aud far. The exceptional facilities for re-
search and practical observation offered
by the great government departments, the
Smithsonian, National Museum, Congress
great inducements. Everything points to
the fact that it Will not be long before
Washington is the educational and scien
tific, as it already is the political, center
of the ITnlo0.
