The building of the Kansas City,

Bought With Gold.

Perhaps the most alarming phase
of the election Just closed is the
revelation that the presidency can
be had by any man both able
and willing to pay for it. Thus,
the veriest knave may, if he COM
mands sufficient Doodle, become our
chief magistrate. Is there any
safety for a nation whose highest
honors are laid upon the bargain
counter or offered at auction! The
"grand old party" impudently
boasted that they would buy the
presidency if it could not be obtain
ed any other way; and they kept
their promise. There has been cor
ruption before in presidential con-
tests, but nothing that savored so
much of rottenness as the campaign
lust closed. This is conceded by
the more honest and intelligent Re-
publicans themselves.
1t is no, remarkable thai politl-
cal adventurers, eager for the SPOTS
of office, should tender brides, but
it is, indeed, suggestive when the
suffrages of very considerable
portion of the American people can
be purchased. 1t proclaims the
end of representative government

When a nations conscience becomes
dormant, all hope of fut urc glory
and greatness lies dead.

THE BILLS WE'LL HAVE TO PAY.

And if you forget your colors
And "go thrust comrade through,
Don't Won think that God will settle.
No. He'll ''send the bill to you"
It's note that won't pass payment;
It's too easy, far: way

Unto shoulders where twill stay,

And it can not help us through.
If YOU inure friend, or brother,
God will send the bill to you.

Back in Adams time, you see
Wasn't given just for Eden,
It's come down to you and me;
And if we should choose to use it,
In the fashion that some do,
Then don't talk of Gods strange rulin'
Cause the bills are ours when due.
And there's one odd thing about it,
That seems odd to human trade,
There's no bankrupt acts will carry
In the laws that God has made,
And the burdens that we've fitted
TO the backs of friends we knew
Will be hoisted to our shoulders,
When the bills of life come due.

In the neighborhood of fifty bills were
introduced in the Assembly this after

Perhaps the most important bill
was the one introduced by Sea-

Incisive, Forcible Argu-
ment Of Counsel for
the Prisoner.
For Three Hours He Makes a
Vigorous Effort Against
Conviction.
Consul General Lee Is Present ami
Watches the Proceedings
Closely.

HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. 1.-THE trial of
Luis SomeillaD, the naturalzed American
citizen, who is charged with conspirlng
against the Spanish Government, was
continued to-day, the court opening at 1
o'clock this afternoon, the usual hour.
Consul General Lee, who was prevented
by official business from being present at
Saturdays proceedings when the prosecu-
ton closed its case, was in attendance to-
day closely watching the proceedings in
the interest of the accused.
Counsel for the defense made a speech
that occupied three hours. 1t was full of
incisive, forcible arguments to prove that
Someillan's innocence had been demon
strated by the testimony of the witnesses.
He declared emphatically that the charge
against the prisoner was groundless and
contended that it had been conclusiyely
shown that he had no connection with the
Cuban junta or with any of the rebels.
Nothing had been adduced at the trial
to justify the assertion that the cipher
message on which the charge was based
was intended for Someillan personally.
Counsel contended that even if his clients
guilt had been admitted, which had not
been done, the law provided that he be
sentenced to eight years confinement and
not to imprisonment for life, as the prose-
cutor had asked.
Though lacking in eloquence the speech
was vigorous, and created the impression
that the case is one of mistaken identity.
The court then adjourned to consider
its verdict.
Captain General Weyler has issued an
other edict ordering the formation of
zones of cultivation around the towns in
the province OF Matanzas similar to those
recently ordered in the provinces of Hav-
ana and Plnar del Rio.
A large and enthusiastic crowd cheered
the Marquis Apezteguit, the leader of the
Constitutional party. as he was leaving
for Spain yesterday. He was escorted to
the steamer by General Weyler, the local
authorities, citizens and local organiza.

OF the vote by Speaker Reed there was
some applause from opponents OF the bill.
The Speaker pronounced the perfrnctory

fusion followed caused by the exchange -
congratulations among mem bers.

Railroads He said that every member
wanted something done about the matter.
Dockery 3D. of Missouri made point
of order against this. He held that inter-

After some desultory debate Speaker
Reed disposed OF the matter by saying he

the question involved before rendering an
opinion.

lated him upon the successful outcome OF
his gallant fight. Judge Mcguire said to
THE CALL correspondent tonight:
THE large majority against the funding
bill was surprise to both sides. We had
canvassed the situation very carefully,
and although we were confident of defeat
ing the bill, we placed our majority at
thirty votes. We lost four men on whom
we had relied, but gained a number from
members who were not only counted
against us last week, but who told us they
we're for the bill. Then of the number
who were absent when our canvass was
made large majority voted with US to-

we hoped for.

Senator Gear, Chairman of the Pacific

more acceptable bill. Senator Frye, how
ever, is willing to let the whole matter go

tee said to THE CALL correspondent to-
night he could not determine whether a
new and more acceptable bill would be
brought forward at this session. Possibly
it would, but he would first await the de-
cision of Speaker Reed on his motion to
recommit the bill, against which motion
point of order was raised by Dockery.
Assistant Acknowledgement Russell,
when seen by The CALL correspondent to-
