The House confronted the CUBAN ques-
ton to-day, made a party issue OF H. ana
adjourned without taking any actien.
President McKinley's message recon-
mendng an appropriation TO relieve suf-
fering Americans in Cuba was received
without any demonstration, and on its
heels. Mr. Hit, former chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, asked unani-
mouse consent for the consideration
of a bill TO appropriate $4,000, in re-
sponse TO the Presidents request. Mr.
Bailey. of Texas. asked for consent TO
consider. in connection with the bill, an
amendment embodying Senator Morgan
resolution for recognition OF the CuDaIs
as belligerents. MIR. Dingley would not
consent to consider the amendment nor
Mr.. Bailey to consider the bill without
the amendment, so for the time the
question was side-tracked.
Then the House devoted two hours TO
debate on the conference report on the

the Senate resolution. practically iden-
teal with Mr.. Hits bill, had been sent
10 the House, and Mr.. Hit asked unani-
nous consent for its consideration.
BAILEY BLOCKS THINGS.
Thereupon Mr.. Bailey said there would
be no objection, if resolution for recog-
milton Of the belligerency Of the
Cubans could be offered as an amend
ment.

"Not if the amendment can be con-

Mr.. Bailey spoke Up, "Then I ask unan.

But the Speaker refused to notice the
request Of the Democratic leader. anc

motion to adjourn. This stirred small
tempest.
Mr.. Bailey called to Mr.. Dingley: 81:

ton was carried by a vote OF 80 TO 6g-

Cutting Off Sharks Fees.


An important opinion has just been
filed by Judge Stewart of Franklin
county which, if sustained, will mater
tally reduce the income of magistrates
and constables throughout the state.
Recently Magistrate John A. SeideTs,
of Chambersburg, brought suit against
the county commissioners of that county
to recover fees in a summary case
where the defendants had gone to Jail
for costs. The commissioners, upon
the advice of the county solicitor, re-
fused to pay the bill, and a case stat
ed was prepared for an appeal to the
court Judge Stewart in his decision
disposing of the case says 1t falls with
in the ruling of the Supreme court in
Crawford county versus Barr 90, Penn
sylvania State Reports, $50. According
to the Interpretation of the law as
made by this court, in all cases of sum-
mary conviction for drunkenness, dis
orderly conduct, violations under game
laws, trespass and similar olfenses,
where the parties are found guilty and
sent to Jail for non-payment Of fines
and costs, the county is not liable for
the costs and the magistrate and con-
stables get nothing for their work
1t is held by some lawyers that the
effect Of Judge Stewards decision will
be TO make imperative nearly all
attempts to enforce the law in the class
of cases mentioned; but even should
such be the result it is doubtful if
the community would sustain a serious
loss. At least two-thirds Of such sum-
mary arrests ought never to be made.
When it comes to pass in Pennsylvania
that constables will not do their plain
duty in the remaining number Of cases
where summary arrest are clearly
necessary except when assured of their
fees in advance, then 1t will be i'm order
to overhaul the whole constabulary
system and establish a new order of
things.

STAND THE PARTY OF PROS
PERITY.

Last year the nation was in the throes
of a desperate panic. Men were idle, bus
mess was at a standstill, destitution pre-
vailed, and the most dire forebodings We're
expressed for the future ii by any mis-
chance a Republican defeat should come.
But defeat did not come. On the con-
trary, the victory was a parallel TO Water
loo in its scope and influence. The votes
were hardly counted before turn for the
better was apparent. Mills started. Men
found employment. Money came pouring
forth from it's hiding places. Bank clear
ings mounted upward Railroads found
their capacity TO do business taxed be-
yond their ability. The gold reserve in
the federal treasury began to increase.
And from that day to this the recovery
of business has been constant day by day.
Now the mills are crowded with orders
and many industries are making better
records than ever in their history. The
situation is not changed politically in the
least since last year. Then the one party
stood for all that made hard times, and
the other for sound money, industrial ac-
tivity and a return of prosperity. To vote
for free trade and reputation now is
just as sensible as to vote for them last
fall, and no more.-Pittsburg Times.
