She was from Washington CtsY, ID. c., and
people in Washington, who want the best,

"Where do YOU get such delicious coffee?

prompt reply,"i buy from StrOnach's,' Is no
Fairy tale. We could name the parties.
That, of course, would be unpardonable. We
can say that the lady from Washington car

something good to eat Is the reflex OF some
blasker fool than himself. That is, unless
he has wife to guide him. -

The Cuban jingoes in the Senate had
things pretty much their own way yester-
day. BY successive votes they refused o
refer the Morgan resolution to the foreign
relations committee and voted down an
amendment offered by Senator Fairbanks
looking to peaceable Intervention by the
United States in favor of Cuban indepen-
dence Senator Fairbanks made temper
ate and judicious speech in support of his
amendment, but the jingoes would not lis
ten to reason. The Senate then passed
the Morgan resolution by Al to IA. 1t was
introduced early in April and is as follows
Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives that a condition of public
war exists between the government of
Spain and the government proclaimed, and
for some time maintained by force of arms
BY the people of Cuba, and that the United
States of America shall maintain a strict
neutrality between the contending parties
according to each all the rights of belliger-
ents in the ports and territory of the United
States
This is a joint resolution and virtually
commits the United States to the 1ecogni-
ton of the insurgents as belligerents This
will not benefit them in any manner what
ever, but will probably be very exasperat-
ing to the Spanish government. 1t may
prove prejudicial to American interests in
Cuba because at present the United States
government can hold Spain responsible for
all injury or damage to such interests, but
once it recognizes the insurgents as belIig-
erents it can no longer do SO. The Morgan
resolution sayors very much of firing i'll

WANTED, A BUSINESS CONGRESS.

When the trainers of the Constitution
vested the legislative power of the gov
eminent in "a Congress of the United
States, which shall consist of a Senate and
House of Representatives" they evidently
intended that Congress should be bust
ness body-not a sentimental a speech
making or a time-kiling body, but a body
to legislate for the business interests of the
country. The Constitution says that a ma
jority of each house shall constitute
quorum not to pass sentimental resolutions
or make long-winded speeches in the air,
but Ito do business" All the enumerated
powers of Congress relate to business or
the public welfare. The first of all and
perhaps the most important is the power
to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts
and excuses and pay the debts of the United
States" This is a business function of the
highest Importance. All the other powers
expressly granted to Congress relate more
or less directly to great business interests
or to providing for the common defense
and general welfare of the United States.
The first Congress that met after the
adoption of the Constitution showed what
a business Congress should be. 1t met
March 4, 1889. 1t had to create a govern
ment outrof the rough, but before creating
the various departments it enacted inn
portant business legislation. The first
thing it did after the Inauguration of the
President was to pass a tariff law. at that
time there precedent for a tariff
law, yet Congress formulated and passed
one which was approved by the President
on July and went into operation in
August. This was the second act passed
by Congress, the first having been one pre-
scribing the form of oath to be taken by
members of the federal government. The
third was a tonnage act by which foreign
vessels bringing goods into the United
States were to pay a duty of so cents
ton, while American vessels were to pay
only cents ton This discriminating act
in favor of American shipping charac-
teristic of period when Congress believed
in legislating for American interests. The
tonnage act went into operation Immediate
", and, in connection with the tariff act,
gave the new government ample means.
Having thus provided for a sufficient reve-
executive departments, namely, the state,
treasury and war. These were organized in
all their details 1t next created a federal
judiciary. Then it took UP another i'm
portant business matter, and so on, one
after another, during the entire session.
This first Congress created a revenue,
created the machinery of government,
passed an act which laid the foundation of
an American merchant marine, created the
executive departments and did thousand
other things without any wrangling, any
talking against time, any sentimental reso-
lutions relating to foreign countries or peo-
pies, any speeches for buncombe''-in
short, without any waste of time. 1t was
a business Congress and it's session was
shorter than many of recent years. 1t is
pity the country could not have another
business Congress.

OVatiOIs for His Number.
The soloists last night were Nine. Glenn

Layton Walker contralto; Mr.. Evan VIII
nams, tenor, and Mr.. David Ffrangcon-
Davies. baritone In the first part of Tie
evening Mr.. Ffrangcon-Davies sang "Rud-
der than the Cherry" by Handel and re-
ceived an ovation, having to return to bow
his acknowledgements time and again. Mr.
Ffrangcon-Dav has fine cultivated
baritone voice with a remarkable COM
pass several times the notes taking him
we'll down into the bass. BY some he is
called a basso. Throughout the range Of
his voice there was an even quality of tone,
a smoothness and resonance that are a
right of the artist. His sustained note at
the close of the recitative was we'll taken
and the ornamentation of the classic mel
ody was delivered with ease, security of
tone and musicianly spirit. 1t was only in
the very close that he made an exertion for
any note but he gained it, and by 1t
showed the unusual compass of his voice.
The applause demonstrated that Mr..
Ffrangcon- Davies had taken firm hold in
the appreciation of the festival public.
The second soloist was Nine De We're
Sapio, who sang the ever beautiful and
popular aria from Mozart's Magic Flute"
Nine Sapio, who was heard here some
years ago in a festival, was not entirely
new to the public, and her recent sue
cesses made the audience anxious TO hear
her again. She is one of the few tiorature

When a rebellious people is recognized
as beiligerents by an outside power they are
recognized as waging public war and are
regarded as entitled to all the rights and
privileges that Independent states possess in
war. They are not, however, raised to the full
rank Of an Independent state because their
independence is yet to be won. Meanwhile
the recognizing nation submits to all the
conditions and embarrassments which
state of neutrality brings about. The only
substantial gain to the insurgents is one
of dignity and prestige

thaId This Afternoon.


The concert of the festival to be given
this afternoon has special. attractions for
musical people. The soloist will be Barron
Berthald, who is in many respects the most
popular tenor who has ever visited Indian
apoIis. Berthald was born in Bremen, but
came to this country at an early age and
received his musical education in New York
city. His career is of unusual interest.
especially one incident of it, which was
much commented on at the time. That
was his extraordinary performance of
''Lohengrin," about two years ago, in Bos-
ton, when by his GOODNESS, courage and
ability, he not only saved the performance
of the Damrosch Opera Company, but
scored for himself an unqualified success,
though having sung the part but once. two
years previously. On that memorable oc-
casion he was transferred from one thea
ter, where he was singing Prince Charles
in Rob Roy in English. TO another where
he sang within half an hour "Lohengrin"
in German before the largest and one OF
there, who cheered him to the echo. Since
then Mr. Berthald has sung in the Darn
rosch and other opera companies. He APP
peared at the Indianapolis festival last
season with great success. He will sing
the aria Lend Me Your Aid from Gou-
mods Queen of Sheba and the love song
from 'Walkure' this afternoon.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, which is one
Of the best papers in the South, urges the
colored lawyer who is being pushed for
postmaster not to accept. 1t tells him that
he is treated well as lawyer and Will not
run the risk of being harmed If he should
be postmaster, but he should recognize that
q prejudice exists against having col
ored man for postmaster. If he was a car
rier it would be all right. The Chronicle
does not defend the prejudice. but declares
that it exists, and that the presence of
negro in the Office of postmaster would
break up many friendly relations between
the races in that city.
