Those who had fears for the success
of the Cuban cause after they read yes
terday of the defeat of Dr.. Condon's
resolution, may breathe easier; the res
olution was brought back to life and
passed yesterday, so the struggling in
surgents are all right unless the gen
| tlemen down stairs in the upper house
are unable to grasp so magnitudlnous
subject and in their wisdom decide
! to kill the resolution.
The best part of the matter is that
the resolution, under existing circum-
stances, is a work of art which re-
fleets great credit upon the gentlemen
who have passed it. 1t commends con-
gress for the stand it has taken in rela-
ton TO the war in Cuba, no more. no
/ less When the resolution was intro
duced one set of Cuban resolutions had
been introduced by the upper and an
other by the lower house of congress-
/ 1t looked therefore Al that time very
much as though some action would
surely be taken before very many days
/ had elapsed that would be favorable
to Cuba, and so the resolution was in
troduced with the expectation of haV-
ing it ready to forward as soon as that
action had been achieved.
1t developed, however, that the SEN
ate resolutions were killed in the house
and that a protracted controversy arose
in the senate when the house resolu-
tons were introduced there for concur
renee, they having been substituted for
those of the senate
This is where the Condor resolution
is a work of art; it does not matter
which way the matter goes it is in per-
! feet accord with whatever action con-
greSS takes be il for or against Cuba,
for should the senate pass the Cuban
resolutions, this resolution cOmmends
the action, or in the event the senate
refuses to pass the Cuban resolutions.
Dr. Condon's literary effort can be
construed as commencing that action
as well. IN
Nor is this all the beauties of this
clever piece of resoluting. II doesn't
matter which way the war goes, the
resolution can be taken as an express
sion of Utahs fellow feeling for the
victor. 1t is considered doubtful if
there was ever so far seeing a piece OF
legislation enacted ~
The consideration of the resolution
came up under motion of the author
to reconsider the vote by which it had
been killed the day before, and was
marked by degree of levity to the
extent of which the house has not be-
fore INDUCED in.
DR.. Condor started the fun making
himself by pointing to the calendar and
calling the attention of the members
to she fact that it had been predicted
the end of all things would come to-
day with the arrival of Perrine's COM
let, and wanted his Republican breth-
rem to get on the right side of such
patriotic proposition before that time
came
DE- Condor is a great joker and he
was successful in his effort to resus-
citate the sick resolution and guide it
safely out of the house, but il is ex-
tremeIy doubtful if he looks back at
that hour, during which all the wits
of the house We're exercised a the ex-
pense of his pet, with the Dleasantes4
Of remembrance.
The time thus spent consumed so
much Of the forenoon that nothing else
of Importance was done. In the after
noon Senator Allson's bill enacting the
Australian ballot system was passed
together with the senate bill amending
the present law governing the opera
ton of irrigation companies. Rad
X
bill proposing to give bounties for the
killing of predatory animals were re-
committed after being considered for
some time.
The gallery of the house was graced
during a portion of the afternoon by
the presence of over 100 pupils of the
Brigham Young academy of Provo
who, chaperoned by Professor Brim-
hall. Hinkey. Holt. Christensen and
RpUnnIdC 20 TO ot4r
excursion by the courtesy of Che Union
Pacific.
