alone can the fabric OF our prosper
ity be reared upon an enduring foun-
dation.
In the course of the performance of
our duties it may mean peace or war
to be determined. Questions of world
wide significance may arise to be
solved in the interest of human adj
vancement. The discordant elements
in our society should be moulded into
harmony, because thereby alone may
we hope to progress in peace-I do not
mean that peace which is the synonym
of stagnation. Agitation for right is
never to be deprecated. Every citizen
should willingly and manfully assume
the trust which free government de-
wolves upon him after informing him
self upon any question of policy or
government, to act politically accord
ing TO his best individual judgment,
absolutely free from coercion, intim-
idation. corruption or undue influences.

The ideal citizen is the embodiment
of the attributes and qualities of genu-
inc, honest, fearless manhood. He is
a man who TO the extent of the facul-
ties with which he is endowed, believes
himself the equal of any other man.
What he claims for himself he freely

afford to be tolerant, even of the in

The interests, the welfare of all the
citizens of this new state, without dis
elimination and without favoritism,

their character and that of the state
must be uplifted and glorified to the
nation and to the world. (Applause)
While being duly regardful of the eff
forts of friends in the struggle whicA
has just gone by, we at the same time,
are enabled to respect the efforts of
those who have had views different
from ours, and preferences which ex-
cluded myself.
And now, ladies and gentlemen of

of my own imperfections, I shall still

Washington, Feb. 4-As soon as the
routine morning business was disposed
of in the senate today, the house bill
was taken up to prohibit the sale OF
intoxicating liquors in the capitol
1t had been reported by Mr.. Morrill,,
Rep. Vt), from the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds and as ne
desired its passage while declaring 1t
was unnecessary and was based on
misapprehension in the public mind.
Mr.. Sherman, (Rep. o., took SINH
lar position. Even although it was
based on false and foolish grounds
he thought the senate ought to meet
the popular objection and pass the
bill.
Mr.. Hill, Oem. N. V, took diff
ferent view of the duty of the senate
He denounced the bill as silly, unWlse
and unnecessary as a weak yielding
to an alleged public sentiment whlch
regarded murder, robbery and burglary
as minor crimes in comparison with
disregard of prohibition laws; and as
vicious and cowardly. He moved It's

Yeas, 27; nays, 80. At the close of the
morning hour the bill went over with
out action. 1t will probably be taken
up for action tomorrow.
The next question was the conference
report on immigration bill. The dls-
cussion on that was short, as MI
Lodge, (Rep. Mass.), having charge OF
it. recognized the justice of the obJec-
tions made to it by Mr.. Hill and other
senators in regard to shutting out the
ignorant wife of an emigrant while the
husband might pass the reading and
writing test Mr.. Lodge himself made
the motion that the conference report
be disagreed to and a new conference
ordered: and that motion was agreed
to without objection.
While it was pending Mr.. Garter
Rep. Mont), demonstrated against the
provision intended to exclude Canadian
Workmen. as it would justify the DO
minion of Canada in adopting drastic
measures against the 10000 American
miners who find constant work and
good wages in the Kootenai country,
in British Columbia.
The Nicaragua canal bill was taken
I'D. and the remainder of the day S
session was occupied by Mr. Villas in
opposition TO it, this being the fourth
day of his speech. He argued that
the duty of the United States in the
matter of the canal was to have ade-
ouate surveys made and complete
plan prepared and then to confer with
Great Britain, Germany and France as
to the construction and maintenance OF
the work. He had not finished his
speech when the senate adjourned

The smoke and din of the conflict had
disappeared and the angel of peace
hovered over the joint assembly yes
terday. The three gallant leaders of
the Democracy who had so lately been
arrayed against each other addressed
the assembled legislators and victor
and vanquished shook hands across the
bloody chasm. The Rawlins members

and the majority of their recent an
tagonists accepted the situation with
fortitUde and resignation.
Brief and eloquent speeches were de-
1ivered by Senator-elect Rawlins, Moses
Thatcher and Judge Henderson. APP
propriate sentiments were happily ex-
pressed and each of the defeated can
didates pledged his support to their
successful rival. Each received the
respectful attention of the assembly
and each was greeted with applause,

II Was a close Shave.

Paris, Feb. At was only through
the strenuous efforts of NJ Meline,
prime minister and minister of agri-
culture, that the government was
saved from being overthrown in the
chamber of deputies today. On Tues
day during the debate on the clauses
of the sugar bill NJ. Herbert moved
that bounties should only be paid to
growers, three-fourths of whose en-
ployees were French. The government
opposed the motion but the chamber,
by a vote of 221 to 219, decided to con-
slider it. The motion was discussed to-
day and it found many supporters. 1t
looked at one time as though the gov
ernment would be defeated, but

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 4.-Among the ar
rivals by the Olivette this morning was

of Cuba. She is the daughter of the
late Dr. Jose Arengo a noted Dhysi-
clan of Havana and a young lady of
rare culture and intelligence. Her bro
ther being an officer in the Cuban army
she was naturally thought to be sym
pathizer with the cause of liberty, and
information on which to base an edict
banishing her from the island was
sought.
A few days since she and two others
who are in Key West, received the fol-
lowing notice from the government.

of their action in favor of the Cuban

but the ovation given Moses Thatcher
demonstrated that the lobby was filled
largely with his admirers. The pc
culiar issues that had entered into the
contest were touched upon by Mr..
Thatcher, who confessed that he did
not believe all of the stories that had
been circulated and expressed the be-
lief that the evils complained of had
been greatly exaggerated. When he
and Mr.. Rawlins grasped hands at the
conclusion of Mr. Thatcher's speech,
members and spectators gave way to an
enthusiastic demonstration. The best
of feeling seemed to prevail and the
occasion was regarded as a happier
termination of the contest than was
Dresaged by the events of the preceding
DAY.
Senator-elect Rawlins had been in
vited to address the assembly, but the
presence OF Mr.. Thatcher and Judge
Henderson was unexpected.

dress the assembly. At the suggestion
of Mr. Thomson, Henry W. Lawrence,
the Populist candidate was extended
the same courtesy. Mr. Rawlins and
Mr. Thatcher were present and a mes
sage was sent TO Judge Henderson.

trum he was greeted with hearty ap-
pIause.
