The House passed the Military

One of the two hours which We're
allowed for the general debate VAS
utilized by the Democrats in discussing
financial and other party affairs.
But little objection TO the bill was
urged by the Democrats. Ii carried
about $26. 900 less than the amount
allowed by law.
The debate was finely illustrated by
speeches by Mr.. Greene, of Nebraska,
and Mr.. De Almond. of Missouri. The
latter attacked the weakness of Presi-
dent Mckinley on the financial ques-
ton as demonstrated in his recent
speech in New York
Mr. Greene assailed the Republican
party for its promises of prosperity and
in juxtaposition Herewith he read ac-
counts from The Evening Times of the
distress of workinemen in mines and
factories in many localities in the
country.
Mr.. De Almond made an argument
in favor of the Teller resolu-
ton He traced the history of
silver from 1870 to the present
time and criticised the President, whos
surrounded at a banquet of manufac-
turers in New York. and stimulated by
the feast. called law technicality, and
glibly repudiated the plain duty of the
Government in the matter of the pay
ment of debts in silver as well as gold
The objections by Republicans to the
Teller resolution were only subterfuges.
They had not the manhood To come out
i'm the open and maintain that their
policy of robbery was jIstitiable.
Nj. De Almond congratulated the
country that there was a man who
would not descend to tickling and fiat
terins the millionaires, as Mr.. McKin-
ley had done, but who would speak al
all times for the laboring man.
friend OF the industrial classes. Mr..
De Almonds reference to Mr.. Bryan
was loudly applauded. as was also his
prophecy OF success in 1900.
The reply was by Mr.. Low, of New
York His theme was that a Demo-
crat slIivered like an aspen leaf at the
name of prosperity.
Mr. Samuel N Smith. of Michigan,
paid his respects to the Postoffice De-

strong plea that the Government use
its own cars. During twenty years. the
life of car. the Government had paid
4,556. 900 rental for cars which origi-
nally cost but s2.6l6.009 Mail con-

Mr.. Clark. Of Iowa, attracted a
good deal of attention by his
advocacy of the Loud bill, which
7,,.anaSaS IN reduce the alleged
burden which metropolitan dailies
and other publications impose on
the mails. Mr.. Clark advocated the
bill. He contended that It would not
interfere with the country editors and
inveighed against the metropolitan
newspaper lobby, which he said was
WORKING against the Loud bill.

regime il was denominated prosperity.
Mr. Gaines. of Tennessee. read eX-
tracts from Boston papers to show that
thousands of factory hands throughout
the country were content, or had to be,
with dry bread. That was sad COM
mentary on the boasted prosperity of
the present Administration.
Mr.. Perkins said that as the idea on
the Democratic side of the House was
to be hopeless. the Republicans should
take a hopeful view. No wonder the
Democrats of Pennsylvania were
afraid of free soup. he said, for they
have fallen into it so often.
The reading of the bill was then
taken up.
Mr. Richardson. of Tennessee, desired
to have Incorporated in the bill some
specific legislation to govern the aca-
demic board of the military academy.
Mr.. Hull, Of Iowa, objected to any
Legislation on the bill
Mr.. Richardson said that he had no
idea that any amendments could be-
passed or even recommended by u
committee. Replying to remark by
Gen. Payne, of New York, Mr.. Rich

an opportunity for amendments as long
as Gen Payne, the Speaker. and men
like HIM, continued to run the House.
TIE point under. discussion was the
limitation of the power OF the aca-
dernic board in the matter of report
ing appointeeS to the academy.
Mr. Lacey. Of Iowa, defended the in

democratic.

the unemployed graduated cadets car
ried on the pay roll be assigned TO

KNOWLEDGE ENOUGH.
Although She Was from Boston She
Cared Not for a Higher Sub
ject Than Beans.

Notwithstanding her nose turned up, there
were specs on it, and she was from Boston,
which may be considered to be competent
testimony that heredity isn't everything.
She was visiting in Brooklyn before the hot
spell and the first young man she met was
one who prides himself on his intellectuals
Whether anyone else does or not is another
story. As it happened, the young man had
an opportunity shortly after the meeting
to talk with the young woman alone, and he
did not fail to throw few brains at her
"Ah, Miss Sophia, he said, with soulful
yearn in his gentle voice, Il presume you at

osophy i'll which Boston is so rich and Brook
lyn is so poor?"
Il am sorry" she hesitated, ''but really,
Mr.. Blank, | do not attend any"
Indeed, and do you feel no interest in
any of the concepts of modern philosophic
thought"
''None whatever, l fear" and she really
seemed to be sorry to have been so careless
of her golden, glorious opportunities.
"And does not the subjective idealism of
existence in delightful Boston profoundly
affect the reality of your Ego?"
80 far / have not observed that it did, "
she said, apologetically.
"How can it be possible?" he exclaimed.
''The sphere of your knowledge must be far
wider than it is with us
NO." she answered, measuring her words
carefully. Il should say it was not. Don
you know as long as we Bostonians know
beans when the bags open we don't worry
overmuch about the rest of it. Why should
we? Isn't that enough for US to know"

Sir:-Having been to some extent sug-
gested as a probable candidate at the
Weston convention for Congress, it is not
improper that 1 should say something
upon the subject.
There will be no lack of strong and pop
ular candidates at the coming convention.
Among those who will have strong advo-
Campbell, Kincaid, Blair, Davis, Sperry,
Holt, Brannon, Withers, Kelly and Fow-
Ter, a winning leader can easily be found.
l feel under a deep sense Of obligation
to my party for past favors, and do not
desire at any time to be considered as
faltering or hesitating in my duty to it,
but at the same time do not believe that
l am at all essential to its success. The
nomination of any one of the above men,
toned gentlemen will receive my hearty
and cordial support. I have not been and
am not now a candidate for any nominal
ton. 1t is my wish that my friends at
the Weston convention shall support such
one of the above named gentlemen as
they shall deem the fittest exponent of
Democracy, and that. SO long as any
good Democratic candidate is before that
body, they shall not under any circum-
stances permit the presentation of my
name.
Very respectfully.

tory we are in fair way to acquire.
We cannot have one set Of tax laws
for the States now in the
Union and other sets for the
different colonies we may acquire
without amending the consti-
tuition. This fact is liable to make
good deal of trouble. for it has al
ready been discovered in Washington
that our lax laws are not at all suited
to the case of the Philippines.
And, looked at in this light, it may
be readily seen that the constitution
did not contemplate even as a remote
contingency any such colonial policy as
our Republican organs and politicians
now talk of so glibly.
The more the subject is examined
the more apparent it becomes that a
colonial system, If not flagrantly un-
constitutional, is at least thoroughly
outside of the constitution, and that
if the new policy is carried out the
constitution will have to be remodeled
to fit it.
