But do the ladies who are clamoring
for the new man realize all tl,nt their act
implies? I can hardly think 20; because
the renewal Of the British constitution
would be q heabite to what they pro-
pose. ns little rejection will show.
First ns all. however. let US he agreed
upon our terms. The demand y that
there should be but one standard Of
morality for both sexes. OF course. this
Ia vague. There might be a lceling
lown US well as eveling up of morality,
or there might be q compromise be-
tween the. two sexeta meeting half
way. If thcre was any hesitation in
judging OF this matter 1t would hardly
be for the advanced Indies TO complain,
seeing that one section of them is in
viting manufacturers and others to send
in designs for . new dual garmert"-
or. vulgarly. trousers for everyday fe-
male wear; while another section claims
the right. as I understand. to rctal;ate
in kird. for infidelity. However. not to
he upgcncrous, let us assume the prevn-
lent demand to be that men should con-
form to the existing standard of NOR
ulity.
Well, that i!ca requires following out
n little more closely than has yet been
attempted on advanced Platforms. be-
cause it leads up to rnther strange is
sues, for which can hardly imagine its
promoters TO be prepared.
Morality, it Is clear, ought to be some
thing more than n verbal profession; 1t
ought to spring from inner sentiment
and to I've closely allied to mcdesty.
Given motlesty Of thought and motlesty
of dcmcnnor among members of the
male sex, there would follow. as n mat
ter of course. the new morality. which
in turn would yield US race Of bashful
and blushing men. coy in love. lacking
in initiative, who would let conceal-
rrent, like worm in the bud, feed on
thier sentiments. Nor would the change
end here. We can hardly dou':t but
that tn, rev man, actuated by his now
feelings. would be at conc pairs to DIS
gui.c TIE contour of his figure. If he
adhered to the dual gurne Mt" he would
probably pufY II and friA It into fantns-
tic shapes and scrupulo.rly avoid the
slightest exposure Of ankle. The ath-
lete would blushingly fling aside his
conventional garb as too indicate.

ing many reasons had been presented
against this resolution but that now
the senator from Maine presented a po-
littcaI one. He did not share Mr.. Hale S
fear.
Mr.. Spooner spoke in opposition to
the resolution on the ground that ITS
adoption would be an Infringement up
on the presidents prerOgative. He con-
tended that the recognition of beliger-
ency had been recognized as an eXcluS-
lively executive function since the days
of Washington and that there was no
occasion at this late day to make a
change.
There was no reason to doubt Mr.. Me
KfnleY'S loyalty to the Republican plat
form nor his love of independence. He
had shown himself on the battlefield to
be a lover of liberty, and no sentiment
showing him to be otherwise than such
had ever fallen from his lips.
Mr.. German argued from cOnStltu-
tional standpoint on the prerogative of
the executive in diplomatic questions,
and also explained his views of the
meaning of recognition. Not until yes
terday had he been convinced that 1t
was time for the senate to act. When
the administration officers feared the
ass assination of our consuls in Cuba
then it was time for the senate to act.
DO I understand" asked Mr.. Hoar,
that the senator supports this resolu-
ton on the ground of the delinquency
of the presidents"
Il say" responded Mr.. German, that
if the state department contains in
IOTfnaJlOn from cOnSulS whose names
cannot be given without endangering
their safety then the executive is delin-
quent when he fails to send a warship
to protect our officers and our interests.
No nation on earth would fail to protect
its representatives in such emergen-
cies."
Mr.. German resented the suggestion
that protection of American citizens
was one of party.
The senator said he shared in the
anxiety of the great commercial inter-
ests of the seaboard but there could be
no yielding to these interests when
lives of American citizens were in dan
ger. This danger was enough to war
rant the sending of war ships to Cuba.
Mr. German closed with the statement
that he did not believe the passage of
the resolution would involve the United
States in a war with Spain.
When the passage of the resolution
was announced there was a loud and
continued demonstration
A moment later the senate went into
executive session and at $40 o'clock the
senate adjourned until Monday.

last Monday but that a certain gentle
man (meaning Mr.. Bailey decided to
gain some political nOtOriety and party
advantage and made an objection to
the resolution showing he would allow
Americans to starVe while he played pol
tiles.
AS far as the Republican party was
concerned. it had demonstrated it's
friendship for Cuba by bringing in and
passing a resolution a year ago identi-
cal in terms with that offered by Mr..
Bailey. That was concurrent FeSOlu-
ton. The object of offering the bel
was for the purpose of embarrassing the
president in his negotiations for the
protection and relief of Americans in
Cuba.
He called attention to the fact that
American citizens were now being re-
leased from Spanish prisons through
the efforts of the administration.
The purpose of the Republicans, -
declared Mr. Hit, lis to secure peace
with INDEPENDENCE" He said that the
conditions in Cuba had changed since
congress passed the last resolution. Mr.
Bailey would by resolution interfere
with the negotiations which are now
pending. Mr.. Hit said he had been in
favor of belligerency. The question
was now of eXpediency The executive
was eXerting every effort and there was
hope that he would solve every ques-
ton. Mr.. Hit opposed interference
with diplomatic negotiation by the eX-
ecutive branch of the government
Mr.. Bailey in reply to Mr.. Hit said
if the latter desired to make the ques-
ton of recognition of beIligerency one
cept it and the Democrats would vote
in favor of beIligerency.
Mr.. Simpson recommended that char
ity should begin with Americans at
home and quoted MI Wanamaker.

lin of Tennessee; Bell of Colorado ;Simp-
son of Kansas; Hull of Iowa, and
Brown of Ohio. Mr.. Robbins of Pennsyl-
vania gave a graphic description of the
situation in Cuba based on a personal
visit.
He said: You declare that Americans
are suffering from the effects of war in
Cuba, and yet you will not recognize
that war exists in Cuba. The attitude
of the house would be a surprise to
the Republican masses, for the RepUb-
Hcan convention not only declared that
war existed, that it was the duty of the
processing a solicitude for Cubans, they
now refuse to carry out. These were
fine words, but in strange contrast to
our action today. Then you were anx-
iOus to do more than the sound judg-
ment of the country would perhaps
sanction. Now you refuse to do what
common sense demands"
But the stock gamblers had become
alarmed and they would rather see the
country insulted than justice DONE and
the Republican party was standing, as
it always did, on the side of the i'm
mensely rich. They might escape the
question here, but could not before the
people, because no previous question
could save them before that august tri-
bunal. Bad as war was, he would not
have it deter the United States from its
duty toward a weak and suffering ma
ton. He could not forget that another
nation, when our fathers were weak
and suffering, had come to our relief
and he would not leave the sentence
of piracy suspended over the patriotic
Cubans by withholding from them the
aid France gave to US.
Mr.. Hit then spoke. He spoke of the
necessity of passing the resolution.
Money for the relief of American citi-
zens in Cuba could not be aiken out of
how quickly the relief could be given by
telegraph. This would have been done

CUBA IN THE HOUSE.
Bill Appropriating $4,000 for Relief
of Americans Passed.

Washington, May 21.-Cuban affairs
furnished the house with a day of bit
ter partisan debate yesterday. The res
olution approprtating $4,000 for the re-
lief of American citizens was adopted
without a dissenting vote, but the Dem
OcratS endeaVOred to force conSidera-
ton also of the Morgan resolution for
the recognition of belligerency. They
accused the Republicans of endeavOring
to eVade this issue, but the dominant
party, through its spokesman, Mr.. Hit,
made the important statement that the
Repu blicans desired not to embarrass
negotiations which were being project
ed by President Mckinley to secure the
independence of Cuba
While Mr. Hit disclaimed presiden-
tial authority for his statement, it was
well known that he had been in consul
tatiOn with Mr.. Mckinley on the sub
ject and knew whereof he spoke.
The committee on rules presented a
report giving two hours debate on the
relief resolution. Mr.. Bailey endeavor-
ed to present the views of the minority
of the committee and to move a recon-
initial, but was declared out of order
by Speaker Reed
He made a strong speech and was
given the unanimous support of Demo-
Gratis, POpulists and Silverites, while
three Republicans, Messrs. Cooper of
Wisconsin, COlSOn of Kentucky and
Robbins of Pennsylvania voted to con-
