LINDSAY ASKED TO RESIGN.
Resolutions Adopted BY the Kentucky
House of Repre- sentatiyes.

Resolutions Adopted by the Kentucky
House of Representatives.
A Louisville special says: After a
hot debate Thursday morning, the
lower house Of the Kentucky legisla.
ture adopted a substitute resolution
offered by Representative Nelson, OF
Hardin, calling upon United States
Senator William Lindsay to resign IL
he cannot support the Chicago plat
form.
During the course of the debate such
words as party traitor, "recreant to
his trust" and "goldbug" were freely
banded about.
Representative Desha, silver dem
ocrat from Harrison county, openly
denounced Senator Lindsay ~ traitor
to his party and called upon him to re-
turn home and face an outraged con-
stituency. Others who made hot
speeches along this line were Repre-
sentatives Trimble, Nelson, Petty,
Orr and Hickman.
The resolution was adopted by a viva
voce vote, but on motion OF Represen-
tative Pulliam was reconsidered in or
der that the original resolution, intro
duced by Representative Saunders, Of
Union, some time since, be passed.
The Saunders resolution was then
taken up and passed by a vote Of 45 to
35-Messrs. Orr, Nelson, Lackey, Pet
ty, Pulliam, Chiffon and Mount max
ing hot speeches denouncing the
course Of Senator Lindsay.
Messrs. Bradburn, Cooke, Hobbs,
Letterle and Marquet, all democrats,
voted against the resolution, saying
that they did so in the interest Of con-
servatism and that passing of the res
olution was mere waste Of time.
The republicans did not vote as o
unit, they voting as their individual
preference dictated.

Trouble Might Result IT Maines MhTines
Were Allowed on shore.
Reports received by the state de-.
partment Thursday from Havana de-
note grave apprehension Of trouble
as soon as the marines from the bat
tleship Maine are given shore leave.
Commander Sigsbee, OF the Maine,
was at once instructed TO be very care
full in permitting his men to go ashore.
While the message to Captain Sigsbee
was not in the form Of command, 1t
was tantamount to an order to keep
his men on board.

SILVER IN THE SENATE.
The Teller Resolution Thoroughly Dis
cussed BY That Body.

For more than six hours Wednes-
day the senate had under discussion
the Teller resolution providing that
the government may pay the principal
and interest Of the bonds Of the United
States in silver.
The debate was devoid Of the sensa-
tional incidents and acrimonious col
loquies which characterized that Of
Tuesday, but it was replete with argu-
ment and oratory. The time was con-
sumed by Mr.. Teller, the author Of
the resolution, and Mr.. Daniel, demo-
crat, of Virginia, who supported the
resolution, and by Messrs. Hear and
Plat, in opposition to it.

A STORY OF CERVERA.
4 Love Episode When lie Was Legation
Attache at Washington.


The older residents of Washington re-
member when Admiral Cervera was an
attache of the Spanish legation in that
city and desperately in love with the
daughter of a senator from one of the
northern states. She was a beautiful
girl and reigning belle at the capital
for several years until her marriage with
merchant, who was an old friend of
the family and was probably engaged
to her during her social triumphs here.
One of the dowagers of Washington,
who was then girl, recalls a dramatic
scene that took place one evening at the
residence of Hamilton Fish, then secre-
tary of state in the cabinet of Gen.
Grant. Mrs. Fish had given a dinner
party to the young people of the diplo-
matte circle, and both Cervera and the
senator's daughter were invited. His
attentions as he sat beside her at the
dinner table were conspicuous and the
subject of whispered comment among
the other guests. After the dinner,
when they returned to the drawing room,
Mrs. Fish asked Lieut.. Cervera to sing.
He was noted for a fine voice, and fire.
quently entertained his friends in that
way. He was the author of several lit
tie love songs, which were published in
this country as well as in Spain, and in
those days could be found in the port
folios of many music rooms In Wash
ngtOn.
Picking up a guitar that was lying
upon the piano, Lieut.. Cervera began a
captivating and emotional Spanish love
song. After singing two or three lines
he fixed his eyes passionately upon the
senator's daughter and directed his
words to her with such fervor that She
became embarrassed and left the room.
Nor was she seen again that evening.
She did not reioin the party and there
after avoided Lieut.. Cervera as much as
possible.
lie was rich, and it is said that he
owed his position to the influence of his
father, who was then the richest wine
merchant in Spain. For 200 years the
family have been engaged in the same
business, and still are the largest dealers
at the town of Jerez, where the best
sherry comes from. Cerveras uncle
was Admiral Topete, the most famous
officer the Spanish navy has produced
for half a century.

At the Thanksgiving meeting at Rut-
land Sunday, Senator Proctor made a
speech in which he said;
"We are in the midst of war, but there
are things worse than war. There are
wrongs which cannot be righted in any
way yet devised except by force. The
American people decided that the long
continued tyranny of Spain in Cuba
must stop, and the only way to make
this sure was that her flag must leave
that island, and this war is the result of
that decision. There were many in high
places, many men of intelligence and
wealth and business and political stand
Ing who asked almost in the words of
Cain, Am l my brothers keeper And
the people answered, not hastily, but,
after hearing and considering the facts
with patience and long suffering: Yes,
you are and more to the extent that we
will not longer stand idly by and see
our brother man robbed and stabbed and
murdered if it is in our power to pre-
vent it. Dewey's guns in Manila opened
up great questions before our nation.
Territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT was not in our
thoughts. But the events of that Sunday
disclosed great responsibilities upon us
which we cannot shirk. But | cannot
doubt that the issue will be met as be-
comes people free and enlightened and
wishing all people to share like blessings.
The destines of more than 100000 peo-
pie will be in our hands. They are
strangers to US in blood and race strang-
ers to our laws and Customs, in large
measure to our civilization. 1t is not
best for us or for them that they should
be made part of our body polite. Here
after our flag will float on every sea and
flash in the morning sun of every cline.
And all our people-North and South,
East and West, born or adopted, where
ever they may be-will be proud to
avow their American citizenship"

Bread Loaf Inn, July Son our arrival
at the Inn this summer, among the many
improvements and plans for our happi-
ness our most generous host told of a
brick house at Weybridge, which had
been fitted up that we Bread Loafers
might enjoy as a picnic house. We, all
excited with curiosity, suggested a house
warming, and yesterday at breakfast we
were told to get ready. There was no
need of second bidding. Our one re-
greet was that it was haying time and all
could not go. Those who were left at
home, have the pleasure still in antici-
patton.
We started off jolly party, telling
jokes, singing and talking, until Va
reached Middlebury. OF course there
we had to stop to do some shopping, as
we had been so long away from stores.
After our purchases had been made
(such a miscellaneous collection as we
had y and all hands been treated to soda
water, we continued our drive to
Weybridge.
Our surprise was great when we saw
what an attractive place the Weybridge
house was. Lots of hooks and corners,
and we peeped into every one, then our
next thought was dinner. And such
dinner!
The young damsel who cooked the
chops may well be proud, and, as the
boys say, "We take of our hats" to the
digniied lady who scrambled the eggs
they melted in our mouths. The coffee
was excellent, but | think our dear Mrs.
Robinson would have exclaimed with
horror If she knew how many eggs it
took to clear it.
All the good things taken from the
Inn, as well as some purchased in Mid
dlebury, rapidly disappeared. With one
exception, all turned to and showed
what good housekeepers they are, or will
be, by washing dishes and cleaning up;
so that even one of the sold maids" in
the corner could not help but praise.
The next eXcitment was the taking of
our pictutes, and though we tried to per.
suade Mr.. Battell that the elm trees
would make more beautiful group than
we, but he did not see it that way, so we
were "tookenn.
At five p. IN. we started for home with
another stop in Middlebury for forgotten
commissions. We reached the Inn at
s 80 to find our host already there look
ing "calm but absolute" as if he had
been home hours before us.
|, as chaperOne of our party, felt that
there can nowhere be more considerate
young people than those who went on
the first trip to the picnic house at
Weybrldge.
And with three times three to our kind
host for giving us so much pleasure, and
a greeting to all your readers, | am
proud to sign myself.

EXPENSES OF THE DIFFERENT WARS IN
WHICH THE UNITED STATES Has BEEN
ENGAGED.
The following concise editorial upon
this subject we copy from the Mirror and
Farmer:
The war brings into view by COMPARE
son the wonderful change that time has
wrought in the financial condition and
credit of the United States, aud in the
ability to bear the expense of modern
warfare. The direct money cost to us of
our struggle with Spain is much greater
daily than any other we were ever en-
gagged in, but the money to meet 1t is
secured without the slightest difficulty.
The operations of our army and navy
probably involve an expense of two mil
lion dollars every twenty-four hours,
and including the preparations they have
already cost twice as much as the war
of 1872 or the Mexican war did, but we
are so many and so rich that we can 90
on spending at the same rate without
half the financial embarrassments our
ancestors were beset by.
In the war of 1872, which ended with
JasksOn's victory at New Orleans. the
United States spent only Sl02, 1893, ISL.
When it began there was little or no
money in the treasury and all that the
government was able to collect during
the four years it continued by internal
taxes was S50,l01,55 The rest was
borrowed and there was so much doubt
about the payment of the loan that the
six per cent bonds sold in 1913 at IS and
in 1914 at so.
All the money to carry on the Mexican
war was raised by loans. The cash bal
ance in the treasury July !, 1916, was
S3G, l94,274. Six per cent treasury notes
produced SIS, S09900. The expenditures
during the war were Sl25, Az ,4S3, but a
smaller amount was borrowed. The re-
suit of course was deficit and finan-
cial burden for the future, which seems
one of the inevitable results of war.
The war of the rebellion was a more
serious matter than either of the other
two and it cost more money. The total
amount spent during the four years of
that conflict wasgS3, 10, 372 $50, which is
an average of $794.S43, 0S7 year. The
largest amount expended in any one
year was Sl,217, 704, 100 in 1860, and the
smallest amount S45G,3 SOC in 1862.
The cash balance at the start of the con-
flict was s., 257 ,065. 1t is 100 times
greater now, being about S22G, 900, 900,
and large part of it in gold. Six per
cent gold bonds of the United States
offered to the highest bidder in 1861
brought an average of S9.03. The gov
ernment's "new per cents" now sell at
l25 and over, and an issue of POO mil
lions of 3 per cents is subscribed three
times over the first week it is offered.
In 1865, the last year of the war of the
rebellion, the revenue from internal
taxes was 5000, 22G,S15. That amount of
money was collected of course only in
the loyal states, which had at that time
only 100000 population. To defray
the expenses of the present war there
are 100000 people, who at the same
ratio of taxation-about S14 per capita
would raise more than billion dollars
a year.

A KNOTTY QUESTION.

Mr. Bryce in his fine Fourth of July
speech in London said: 1.-THE splendid
deeds of heroism of your soldiers and
sailors thrill our hearts as could no ex-
plot of men in whose veins cur blood
did not run. America is possessed of
the power to become great conquering
and colonizing people, but to make a
great people happy, free and prosperous
is nobler than any foreign conquest.
Therefore we hope that nothing Will
divert the United States from that task"
Coming from an Englshman whose long
study of American institutions entities
his words to carry great weight, this
assertion of his belief in our destiny de-
serves more than passing attention. 1t is
safe to say that only few short months
ago no public man of prominence in the
United States even considered the feast
bility of territorial expansion as among
the questions this nation, would soon
have to face. The policy of holding
aloof from ALI European entanglements
dense ignorance as to the result of this
or that move. No one considered that
once we had wrested the PHILIPPINES
from Spain there would arise the spectre
of Europeani jealousy to interfere with
their disposal. TO annex those islands
would not only be in opposition to our
traditions, but also to the best sentiment
of the country. Returning the islands
to Spain is out of the question; making
them independent in the present state of
civilization among the natives is at best
a most dubious policy; disposing of them
them to a European nation will be
baked by European jealousy. What
would Mr.. BrIce suggest?

The fence is not landscape beautifer.
1t is not a protection against thieves. 1t
certainly does, to some extent, repel
your neighbOrs. 1t savors of inhospital-
ity. 1t efiectually prevents those little
social chats and friendly interviews
which your neighbor without any fence
enjoys. People nowadays won't ele-
vate their voice enough to rise over the
top of your fence or contract it enough
to squeeze it through the pickets. Take
it down. 1t will seem like moving from
the country into town. Move it to the
line between the potato patch and the
cow pasture. That is what the fence was
invented for-tO keep out cattle. Don't
wait for it to rot down, but when you
conclude that it is neither useful nor
ornamental pull it down and burn it up.
That is better economy than to let it
rot down. When it rots down it won't
be replaced. The rising generation are
not fence builders Brandon Union.
