A resolve appropriating $4,000 for
the relief Of American citizens in Cuba,
passed the Senate, Monday, promptly,
without an opposing vote. When it
came up in the House, unanimous con-
sent was asked for its immediate consid-
Grafton, when Bailey of Texas objected,
unless an amendment recognizing the
belligerency of Cuba could be considered,
This course defeated immediate consid-
Grafton Of the resolve, and the House
adjourned until Thursday, on motion of
Dingley of Maine, by a party vote.
Thus was this very desirable measure
defeated by Democrats and Populists of
the House, under the leadership of Bailey
of Texas.

The railway companies In England
use their influence in promoting the or
ganization of temperance societies among
their employees. la this country the
railroad corporations also labor to secure
temperate living among their workmen
by refusing to employ men who are
known to indulge habitually in strong
drink. These are unanswerable argu-
ments in favor of temperance by practi-
cal business men.
