IN HIS speech in the Senate yester-

his ''former leader" Yes, Mr.. Cleye-
land was formerly the leader of q
united, powerful and successful party,
firm in its principles and policies, and
with both the executive and legislative
branches of the government in its
hands, confident of its ability to retain
possession of the country for an indeh-
mite period. But Mr.. Cleveland not
only disorganized, but wrecked it, and
then, on the eve of contest. deserted
it, with such as ne could induce to fol

and that, too, it must not be forgotten,
though it had done more for him than ii
or any other party had ever before
done for any other man. MIR. Whitney,
who was member of his first cabinet,
once said Mr.. Cleveland was the most
ungrateful man he had ever known.

FIFTY-Fo'JRTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II.
SENATE.

A motion by Mr.. Hale that when the
Senate adjourn to day it adjourn until
Monday met with some circumstances
on both sides of the chamber, but was
agreed to-without division.
The House, amendments to the Sem
ate as to the lands of the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad Company were non
concurred in and conference asked.
In presenting lot of petitions from
Alabama declaring that there was no
lawful State government in that state,
Mr.. Chandler collided with Mr.. Allen
in reference to the failure of MIR. AL
lens resolution of inquiry on that sub
ject last sesson-Mr. Chandler assert
ing that the resolution had failed
because of some Incorporate re-
marks of Mr.. Alloa's questioning the
motives of republican Senators, and
Mr.. Allen denying that, but asserting
that he had had grave suspicion that
the resolution never would be acted on
10 good faith on tho republican side OF
the chamber.
After the passage of two Senate bills
on the calendar as to accounts OF army
officers who were graduates OF West
Point Military Academy; and for the
relief of Major VIM. NJ Maynadier), the
House bill to amend the immigration
laws was taken up.
Mr.. Morgan moved to amend the bill
80 SO that it shall not apply to immi-
grants from Cuba. The demands of
humanity, he said, were obvious in re-
lation to Cuba. The United States
could not afford to send back Cuban
to the merciless grasp of the men from
whom be had escaped. The exception,
he argued, could be made without in
terfering with the general clause In
treaties as to 1.-THE most favored ma
TONS"
Mr.. Hoar suggested that the better
way would be provision authorizing
the Secretary of State to provide for he
admission of immigrants fleeing from
war or political oppression or in conse-
quences of political disorder.
Mr.. Morgan's amendment to the i'm
migration bill that the exclusion under
the law shall not apply to Cuban refu-
gees was agreed to, yeas Al, nays 6.

the question and the yeas and nays
were ordered. The amendment was
agreed to, and the bill passed.

The STATE ELECTORAL BOARD
The State board of canvassers having
refused to accept the amended abstract
from Buckingham county and award
Yost the certificate of election, the
Court OF Appeals was yesterday asked
for msndamus compelling that body
to carry out that course. In the man
damus awarded by the court to the
counsel for Mr.. Yost the election officers
of Buckingham were directed to recon
vene and correct errors that crept into
| the former returns sent to Richmond
to the capital. The order of the
court did not command the State
board to accept these amended
abstracts. This that body has re-
fused to do without the mandate
of the Appellate Court. The coun-
eel for Mr.. Yost yesterday present
ed the case to the court and asked for
mandamus compelling the board to
receive the corrected returns from
Buckingham and award the certificate
of election to Yost. The court took
the matter under consideration. No
doubt is felt about the action of this
tribunal in awarding the necessary
mandamus.
Mr.. Charles NJ. Wallace, jr., the
democratic candidate for presidential
o ector from the Richmond district,
asked the court for mandamus direct
ing the State board to accept the
amended abstract from Hanover county,
which elects MIN. A large number of
votes cast for Wallace were thrown out
for the same irregularities found in the
case of Yost in the tenth district. II
Hanover's corrected abstract is received
it gives Wallace enough votes to over
come these losses and elect him.
Governor O'Ferrall did not agree
with the other members of the board in
Tuesdays course. He wrote on Mr..
Wallace's petition in accepting service
the following:
''As member of the board OF State
canvassers l have been ready to accept
the amended abstract from the county
OF Hanover as showing the true result
of the vote in said county for presiden-
tial electors, and amended returns from
other counties showing that Charles M.
Wallace, jr., received majority of the
votes cast. I have been ready to vote to
declare that said Charles NJ. Wallace, jr.
to have been duly elected as presiden-
tial elector aud to award the certificate
of election to him."
The Court of Appeals to-day issued
an order commanding the State board
of election canvassers to award to J.
Yost, republican candidate, the certif-
cate of election in the Tenth congress.
sional district.
Another order was issued command
ing the board to count for G. M. Wal.

The ABsURDITY of free institutions
was never more glaringly illustrated
than by the Congressional election that
took place in Georgia yesterday. The
legislature, is, by far, the most import
ant branch of the government, and yet
then and there q Congressman was
elected simply and solely, and so pub.
licly expressed, for the reason that he
was the son of his father. He is very
worthy young gentleman, and will
doubtless make as good representa-
tive as many of his colleagues, but no
such considerations were factors either
in his nomination or election; the one
that effected both being the simple fact
that he was his fathers son, and there.
fore should fill his fathers unexpired
term in the House and draw the re.
mainder of his salary. As he will vote
upon questions that will affect the PEG.
pie of the whole country, surely other
than the one consideration referred to
should not have been disregarded.

THURSDAY EVENING. DEC. Il, 1898.

THE republican ways and means
committee of the republican U. 5.
House of Representatives is now en-
gagged in the preparation of a tariff bill.
That committee should know that
trade. as DR.. Johnson said, sis in
creased by the recprocation OF the Pc
culiar advantages of different coun-
tries" aud that as trade is Increased,
all industries are stimulated and em.
ployment created for labor. Restric-
tons upon such reciprocation, by the
imposition of taxes upon the imports OF
foreign countries, necessarily decreases
trade and therefore depresses industry
and lessons the demand for labor. The
best way by which the revenue OF the
government can be made to meet Its
expenses is to cut down the latter to
their legitimate extent, and to raise
the former by tax on incomes, and
if the United States Supreme
Court shall still insist, by q
majority of one, That such 8. tax is un-
constitutional, that court should be re-
organized by the representatives OF the
people, in whom rests the supreme
power of the government. The idea o.
benefting the country by hampering
its trade and increasing the price Of
the peoples necessaries is absurd, and
can only be advocated by the few
whose selfish interests are thereby pre-
NOTED, and by those foolish or vena
enough to be Influenced by them.
