The Senate Resolution.

In opposition to the well-known wish
of the president, the advice of General Lee
aud the better judgment of their con-
stituents, the senators in congress assem-
bled, by vote of 67 to 81, passed set Of
resolutions Saturday night formally recog-
nizing the Cuban republic.
That there is nothing in particular for
them to recognize except few thousand
wandering guerrillas with about as much
government as camp OF gypsies, had no
restraining effect upon them. They were
not hindered either by the knowledge that
this recognition would oblige our troops if
sent into the island to take their orders
from the Cuban generals instead of their
own leaders, would embarrass the war de-
partment to an untold extent and saddle
the president with an additional burden oi
responsibility. They were not to be
turned from their purpose by any amount
of argument and proved as amendable te
reason as government mule.
The resolutions as passed, minus thu
preamble, read as follows:
Resolved, by the senate and house o
representatives of the United States Of
America in congress assembled
''First-Tbat the people Of the island o
Cuba are, and of right ought to be, fire.
and Independent, and that the governmen
Of the United States hereby recognizes th
republic of Cuba as tie true and Lawful

John Charles T,onrson has set up q
bogy man on the financial question and
then proceeds to beat the stufins out
of him. According to Thompson's ar
gument. it is the purpose OF the re-
publican party to contract the currency
to the extent of nor than 800 millions
Of dollars, and he goes ON to give a
table showing just how they propose
TO do it.. OF course, there Is not a word
Of truth in the entire argument present
ed by Thompson, for the simple rea-
son that it is mo- the purpose Of the re-
publican party to contract the curren-
cy at all. The republican party has a
record for building up. not tearing
down. Since Cleveland retired from
the White House, our currency has ex-
banded by about $50 millions. and that
expansion is going on month after
month at a rate which appears almost
fabulous. by their works We shall
know them" BY its works the republi-
can party has established itself as a
party ever looking after the best In

Charles V. Gridley. captain Of the flag

ton ut the Naval academy. was ordered
to the Michigan for duty. A few days
after he had reported the commander
ordered the usual boat drill, and the
crew went through the process of aban.
doning the ship. When the cutter Of
which GriGley was in command had
gone II mile or two away from the ves-
sci. the young officer, who had never
before sailed on fresh water. inquired
sharply for tho water cusk. which he
discovered had not been placed in the
boat.

"I've come to Httach the wages Of
II of your men for Il debt"
"Who is the man?'

at once summoned TO his employers

.'How long havc you bccn in debt?''
was the first question asked.
"Bcen b%chindlIand for 20 years. |
cant s,ril to catch mp" said the man.
But you have n rood salary

debt"
"You must get out, or yon must leave
here. How much do you owe:'
The whole was not much less than
81. 900, but tho employer Immediately
wrote his check for the amount, and
said. as no banded it to the man:
This will pay all your bills. If l

PAY FOR

The last bill signed by President Nc
kinley on Friday vas Is to pay and
transportation of volunteers. This dis
poses of several veXed questions raised
by the sudden call for volunteers in
April. In most of the states there was
no fund for payment Of troops and the
government paid only from date of
muster and assumed the support OF
troops from that dtae.
A bill was introduced in the house to
pay all state troops from date OF en-
listment. officers from date OF muster,
and to reimburse states for expendi-
lures for transportation and sibslst-
ence OF volunteers previous to muster.
1t was represented to Senator Cullom
that to pay officers only from the day
Of muster would be not only unfair but
I great hardship. The senator had the
bill amended so as to pay officers as
well al men from the day OF enlist
ment. and it passed with this amend
ment.-Sun-Leader.
