THE U. S. Senate has passed bill to
prevent the President from borrowing
any more money with which to pay the
debts and maintain the credit of the
government. Right or wrong rs that
bill may be, the members of the Senate
recorded their names in favor of it
and boldly assumed the responsibility
they incurred. Twas entirely different,
however, with the largely republican
House of Representatives. Its republl-
can ways and means committee did
agree to an adverse report upon the
bill, but were too cowardly to do so
until they had been assured by the re-
publican majority of the House that it
would not be called up at this session,
lest action upon it now, should affect,
not only the Presidential, but their oacn
election next fall. Conscience makes
towards of us all, but it is not half "a
effective in that respect with the aver
age congressman as the salary and per
1uisites of his office.

AT THE last Decoration Day" SER
vices in Richmond, one ofthe "orators"
exclaimed:
"Oh, the changes of thirty, five years!
Not q slave in the old dominion State;
not a slave beneath the starry flag OF
freedom. Slave pens, once deemed nee
essary to the peace Of society and the
security Of property, superseded every
where by the school house and the
house of prayer"
Slave pens in the South were never
deemed necessary for the peace of So
cietv and the security of property, and
thew have not been superseded by free
schools and negro churches, though the
latter are now everywhere in the
South. But as the result of the
.'changes" referred to, the jails, penl'
sentiaries, and the work and poors
houses in the South are crowded with
negroes, and their judicial hangings and
lvnchings are of almost daily occur
renee. Happiness is promotlve OF long
life; statistics prove that the life OF the
negroes in the South was longer before
their emancipation than it is now, and
their health much better.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1896.

THE national Congress having dis
carded the original design for the oom'
pletion of the frieze of the rotunda OF
the Capitol, which was representation
of the driving of the last spike OF the
Pacific Railroad, MIR. Boutelle, the IA
nous warrior from Maine, agreeing
with ex-senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
that the memory of the war between
the States should be perpetuated, ITO
show which side was right" has intro
duced q resolution in the q. S. House
of Representatives, that the remaining
panel be filed with picture OF war
scene, in which the Confederates are
whipped by the "heroic valor" OF the
federal soldiers and the negroes set
free, and of the apotheosis of Abra-
ham Lincoln. The resolution has not
yet been adopted, but it probably will
be. after the large republican majority
in the body referred to shall get tired
of turning out fairly elected democratic
representatives from the South and CIV
ing their seats to negroes and scala
ways who were not elected. But timc
at last sets all, things even, and those
who SOW the wind will reap the whirl-
wind

SOME BODY has asked if the President
has one sincere friend among the dem
ocrats in the U. S. Senate? Yes, he has
one, Mr.. Villas, to whom he gave the
offices of Postmaster General and Sec
rotary of the Interior. But when Mr..
Cleveland was first elected, all the
democratic Senators were his sincere
friends, and he can justly blame nobody
but himself for the fact that all but one
are not SO now. There have been
Presidents who have lost friends in their
own party. but there never was one, be-
lore Mr.. Cleveland, who succeeded in
driving his whole party away from him,
for mugwumps are not democrats.

Held and Robbed.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Four men last
night held up the Waterman ola bakery
on Lake street, a few doors from State
street, and took about 81 900 from the
safe which he was guarding. Shortly
at II o'clock four men knocked on the
door and the wachman, thinking they
were bakers employed by the company,
opened the door and admitted them.
Once inside the men seized and bound
the Waterman and after gagging him,
blew open the safe and took therefrom
nearly 81 900.

IT WOULD seem to people of ordinary
common sense that the idea of nomi-
mating Mr.. Teller, a pronounced re-
publican, by the national democratic
convention, is the very acme of wild.
ness. but such are the times, that the
wilder the idea, the more probable is
its success. Men have always been
liable to change, but the change in
none was ever greater than that be-
tween the former and the present lead
ers of the democratic party.

in Marshall county, Ala, on the Ten
nessee river, and thirty miles west of

pie, was completely wrecked at eleven
O'Clock yesterday morning by cyclone.
Eighteen dwelling houses were de-
stroyed, five being swept completely
away and not stick of the timber left.
The cyclone lasted FIVE minutes and
then passed In northeasterly direc-
ton. Trees were broken down like
weeds. Fifteen people were wounded,
six of them fatally. Several persons
are missing and it is probable that they
will be found dead. Two people were
killed by lightning.
Lake City, mountain village in Cal
ifornia, was nearly destroyed on Fri
day by a waterspout, No lives were
lost, as far as known, but the property
loss is said to be heavy.

ALL INDICATIONS now point to q
"straddle" on the currency question at
st. Louis, and, that if such shall be the
case, that the bolt threat, if there
be any, will be conspicuous only
by its insignifcance. Republicans,
as rule, hate Southern DEM
ocrats too much to allow such q
thing as the currency question to d.
vide them and afford the objects of
their hate the opportunity to succeed.
