| which was urging humanity on other
nations? Hit referred to the barbarity
of the practice of killing the defenselese
seal pups. This brought query from
Livingston, Democrat, of Georgia.: "As
chairman of the foreign affairs commit
tee you have in your possession reso-
luton respecting the poor and defense
less people of Cuba. What do you in
tend doing about that? Are not the
Cubans as much entitled to your care
as the seal pups?"
Hit turned the question by saying It
was not asked with a view Of getting q
serious answer.
After further debate the bill was
passed-yeas 14S, nays IS.
The currency bill framed by Secretary
Gage was introduced in the house today
by Chairman Walker.
An hour was spent on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
without accomplishing anything. The
bankruptcy bill was reported by the ju-
dietary committee and an extension of
time granted in which the minority may
file its report.
At o'clock the house adjourned.
THE DEMOCRATIC POLICY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Leading
Democratic members Of the House say
no aggressive action Is anticipated to
carry out the declarations of the recent
Democratic House caucus on Cuba, fln-
ance and bankruptcy. The caucus action
will be allowed to stand as showing the
policy of the minority. 1t Is said, how
ever, that it would be useless to force
the Cuban question before the House as
the rules would not permit the minority
to bring the question to vote. The Sem
ate Cuban resolution. which was in
dorsed by the caucus, reposes In the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, and there
Is no power under the rules to get It from
that committee. Representative Liv-
ingstone, of Georgia, has suggested that
a resolution be presented directing the
Foreign Relations Committee to report
the Cuban resolution at once, but this
procedure would be ineffective as the
resolution declaring an immediate report
would be referred to the Committee on
Rules. 1t Is not doubted that this latter
body, representing the majority, would
not act favorably on a motion of this
character.
Parliamentarians in the Democratic
section conceded that 1t win be impos-
sible for the minority to force an issue
on the Cuban question. They are more
hopeful of giving expression to the eau
Gus action on finance. The majority will
doubtless bring forward financial meas
ures on the lines suggested by the Pres
ident and Secretary Gage, and the Demo-
cratic caucus policy will be given effect
by the casting of the solid Democratic
vote, numbering 1875, against these meas
ures.
On the bankruptcy question, It is ex-
pected that the minority will frame a
bankruptcy bill calculated to meet the
caucus declaration for wise and just"
measure of this character. The bill will
be offered as a substitute to the one to
be urged by the Committee on Judiciary
after the HOLIDAYS

The Baltimore Sun, which is the organ
of the gold Democracy in this State, gives
notice to the German still hunters and
no principles party that their emascu-
lated policy and tactics of silence is not
going to catch the old gold ring Demo-
Gratis The silent German Democrats
must either surrender or be beaten by
them at the polls. the Sun says in COM
menting on this point ''The division
line has been drawn and there is no pos
sibility of obliterating it except by COM
plete surrender OH the one side or the
other"
This is exactly the situation in Mary
land, and it is not at all unlikely that the
bargain is already made. German would
sell his soul to be his own successor in
the Senate.
A delegate i'll the Frederick county
convention on Saturday in the course of
his remarks in support of a resolution ell
dorsing the Chicago platform, said:
"Has it been sent along the line that
we. are to have no gold or silver i'll this
campaign that you hesitate to adopt the
amendment? From whom comes the
message? From the man who was for
gold in Baltimore, for gold, through his
proxy, in Chicago, for Bryan and silver
during the campaign, not as choice of
evils, but through honest convictions, and
who, abandoning both, is now for self
only?"
The game of silence is being put
through all over the State. We haven't
the faintest doubt that the silver element
throughout the State is to be sacrificed
on the altar of the ambition of one man.

American Indifference to misgovern-
ment must end or the republic will cease
to exist. American ignorance of eco
nomic problems must be dispelled or a
great nation will miserably perish. The
United States will survive the panic and
depression of 1S93-94 but it cannot long
exist under the industrial system which
made that panic inevitable, and which
menaces the nation with a never ending

cial calamities. -Introduction to "Presi-
