IN THE SENATE
Lively Debate Over Mail Matters.
Teller's Resolution

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia spirited
debate was precipitated in the senate
today by the introduction of resolution
by Hoar of Massachusetts, providing for
an inquiry by the committee on post
offices and post roads concerning the re-
cent order Of the postmaster general re-
ducinC the force of letter carriers in
several cities of the country. Hoar de-
clared that the order had had the effect
of a dynamite bomb in creating con-
sternation among these men throughout
the country. while apparently all that
was needed by the postoffice department
was an appropriation of $3.50, 900 to main
tain the efficiency of the carrier service.
The debate took wide range. Wolcott,
chairman of the committee on postoff1ces
and post roads, insisting that many New
England people, represented by the SEN
ator from Massachusetts,, were respons
ible for the deficiency in the funds of the
postoffice department because they in
sisted that the government should carry
second class mail at enormous loss and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-All day long

Of the speaker and direct the committee
on foreign affairs to report without
further delay the Cuban resolution
passed by the senate at the last ses-

voted to sustain the chair.
The galleries, as on yesterday, were
banked to the doors, and there was con-
siderable excitement throughout the
early part of the session when the men,
bers of the minority were successfully
pressing their views bearing upon the
Cuban question for the purpose Of en-
barrassing the majority.
During the debate Chairman Hit, of
the foreign affairs committee, made an
impressive speech of less than an hour,
explaining at length the situation which
made action by congress inadvisable.
He spoke with impassioned words of
the presidents sympathy with the strug-

appeared tonight they said their attor-

advised them not to answer any further
questions before the committee. They
all followed the advice of their attor-

ask the senate to punish the witnesses

ROUTINE WORK
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-When the

both sides were rallying their forces and
1t was apparent that the battle over
Cuba which ragged yesterday was to

floor and in the galleries was very large.

sent to the clerks desk.
The Speaker took occasion to examine

The populist state ticket is made
up of lawyers, editors, merchants
and machine men. There is not a
farmer in the whole list. What a
result to contemplate, when we re-
member that the populist party
grew out of the Farmers Alliance
a few years ago. The movement
for a reform has been captured,
body, soul and breaches, by one Of
the smoothest sets of politicians that
aver manipulated the wires. This
is true from head to foot, from
Pettigrew to Dowdell. Do not our
populist friends realize this? What
has become of the men who found
ed the Peoples party? They have
been kicked out and the schemers
rule the roost.

The war revenue law is producing
evenu at the rate of $3.50, 900, 900
a year, which is not enough addi-
tional revenue to meet the addition
al cost of the war. The 5000, 0o0,-
900 loan made from the people will
come in very handy; but if the war
ends as soon as now appears,
another loan will not be necessary.
Meanwhile the criticisms Jas by
the Democrats against the bond
issue are as inconsistent as the
vote of many Democrats for the
declaration OF war and then against
the bill which was to raise the funds
needed to carry it IN. The fact is
that the Republicans have been
right on every material proposition
yet, as touching this war, and time
is indicating their position.

Strange mixtures of piety and
fighting spirit, rage of revenge and
tenderness toward the foe are being
displayed in this war. Our latest
sea victory has shown US undreamed
depths of religious feeling combin-
ing with a strange courtliness and
grace to make chivalrous modern
knights instead of mere ruthless con-
querors.
There is Capt. Jack Philips of th q
Texas, a lion in a fight, gentle as a
woman in victory, telling his elated
men "Don't cheer. They're DYING
and afterward lifting his hat in the
presence of his Grew and making
public acknowledgment Of his belief
In God.
There is Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright, who had the Maine to
avenge, and who fought like a
blood hungry tiger and sunk two
torpedo boats, receiving the conqu-
cred admiral aboard his vessel and
softening the asperities of defeat by
congratulations upon what he called
sas gallant a fight as was ever seen
upon the sea-"
There is "Fighting Bob" Evans
distinguished, for many, by his
bellicose nickname and free use of
explosive profanity, turning from
the work of ruin to the work of
rescue, pursuing the crippled and
crushed Vizcaya, not to destroy, but
TO save, setting his crew to getting
wounded men off the sizzling decks,
receiving Capt. Eulate with a cap
tain's guard Of honor, and refusing
to aake tle sword he extended, athe
war had assumed another aspect"
These are tokens of the true
American cffvalry. There was not
a knight of Arthur's day whose
If valor and gentleness ex-
Asa them.
Such behavior is a good thing to
admire, a good ming to love, a good
thing to initiate and to be proud Of
and to keep forever il the American
