The determination of several leading
theatrical managers to stop poster ad
vertising and depend wholly upon the
newspapers to reach the public has re-
vived the question of the relative mer-
it's of the poster and the newspaper for
advertising purposes. The subject of
the relative merits Of the two is hard
ly debatable, because in this age and
country of universal newspaper read
ing the superiority of the newspaper to
every other form of advertising will be
readily admitted. AS a medium Of ad-
vertising the ordinary poster on the
wall or the fence compares with the
newspaper about as the old mail coach
compares with the express train as a
means of transportation. The truth is,
the crude Autographs belong to the
childhood of civilization. They appeal
to curiosity and credulity in their raw
est forms. To ascribe any great inf1u-
ence to the colored portraits of players
and pictorial representation of impos-
sible figures and scenes which make
up the bulk of poster advertising is to
reflect on the intelligence Of the people.
There has been happily some effort to
improve poster art and the work of a
few artists has developed a standard
which is having a wholesome effect on
all poster artists and printers. But the
high art poster is still something of
curiosity and it's cost will bar the way
to the general use Of the best work of.
artists and printers in that line The
question whether there is any value at
all in poster advertising is one that the
atrical managers have not yet settled.
but there is very general impression
that it is obsolete in cities, at least,
and that it is a somewhat unnecessary
supplement to newspaper advertising.
which offers all the opportunity need
full for the enlightenment Of the public
with regard to theatrical wares

WORK OF CONGRESS.
THE WEEKS OOINGS IN SENATE
AND HOUSE.
Comprehensive Digest of the Fro.
ceedings in the Legislative Cham
bers at Washington-Matt that
Concern the People.
Law wmakers at Labor.


The Senate Monday passed a measure
appropriating $4,000 for the relief of
American citizens in Cuba, in accordance
with the suggestion contained in mes
sage from President Mckinley. Sew
eral members of the House insisted upon
amending to incorporate a recognition Of
Cuban belligerency, and the matter was
hung up temporarily. The House re-
sumed consideration of the Indian appro-
priation bill.
The Senate was occupied Tuesday
chiefly by the Cuban question. Mr.. Ma
son spoke in favor of the Morgan reso-
luton, and Messrs. Hoar and Hale op-
posed. The debate was bitter. Among
the bills passed by the Senate were those
authorizing the construction of bridges
across the Missouri River between its
mouth and the mouth of the Dakota or
James River and across the Illinois and
Des PLANES Rivers between the mouth of
the Illinois and Joliet ILL.,, and to pre-
scribe the character, location and dimen-
sions Of the same: also for bridge across
the Red River of the North at Drayton,
n. ID. The conference report on the In
dian appropriation bill was presented and
agreed TO. The House did nothing of i'm
portance.
Another stirring debate on Cuba oc-
Cured in the Senate Wednesday. The
main speeches of the day were made by
Senators Foraker, Cannon, Lindsay and
Hoar. Mr.. Foraker spoke in favor of a
reference of the resolution to the commit
tee, but on the general question declared
his purpose of supporting the resolution
recognizing Cuban belligerency when it
should be reported by the committee. Mr..
Cannon was bitter in his denunciation of
Spanish atrocity. Mr.. Lindsay declared
If the information furnished by United
States consuls was so shocking as to sub
]ect them to danger of assassina ton if
their names were disclosed it was time to
send warships to Cuba and to terminate
all diplomatic relations with that coun-
try. 1t was developed in the course of
colloquy between Senators Foraker. Nor
gan and Vest that the State Department
had withheld the names of United States
consuls reporting on the serious condition
Of affairs in Cuba because it might lead
to their murder. No action on the resolu-
ton was taken.
The Senate Thursday passed the Nor
gan-Cuban-belligerenc resolutions. by
vote of Al to IA, after a most exciting de-
bate in which Messrs. Mason. Morgan.
Gallinger, Hall, Fairbanks and Hoar par
tlcipated. In the House the resolution
appropriating $4,000 for relief of desti-
tute' American citizens in Cuba passed
without dissenting vote An attempt
to incorporate the Morgan resolution
failed, but the debate was sharp and ex-
citing. Both houses adjourned until
