SPEAKING TO THE QUESTION.
Subject of Debate Has Occupied Much O
Time of House.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.j

Washington, March 7-During the last
week the time of the House has been
taken up somewhat by controversies over
the subject of debate, and whether, when
a question is before the House, the NJ en-
Der speaking should confine himself to the
subject. The Democrats have precipitat-
ed the issue by trying to interject politi-
cal speeches during the consideration of
appropriation bills, claim bills and other
measures. They have been ruled out of
order, and on this account have made
considerable of their old conversation
about "the suppression of debate." The
most recent case occurred in the commit
tee of the whole House on Friday last,
when Mr.. Hanley of Delaware attempted
to in terject political speech during the
consideration OF. a small private claim.
When called to order by the chairman
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, the famous silver
statesman, made very bitter onslaught
on the chairman, claiming that q mem
Der had right to talk on anything he
ple ased in committee of the whole house.
Many Republicans were absent, and
when Mr.. Bland appealed from the rul.
ingEof Chairman Paynesthe vote stood E91
to 81. tie, and Mr.. Payne had to vote to
sustain his owngruling. This is per-
fectly proper proceeding, although the
necessity for it rarely arises in the House
or in committee.
To most parliamentarians it will seem
strange that Mt this time in the House of

ANNEXATION.

Portland voted three to one for the
union of this city and Deering, according
to the plan submitted by the commits
sion. Decring, on the other hand gave a
majority against it of s6. AS the act re-
CURED the concurrence Of both cities.
union fails. Its defeat in Deering was
due chiefly to the vote Of the farming
interests on the border of the town, and
the Office holding interest. Outside OF
these interests the great majority of the
people are in favor of it. This being
the case we have no doubt that annexa-
ton will be accomplished within short
time. The agitation will not die out
with yesterdays vote. The vote was too
close for that. 1t will continue and the
next time the question is voted on, which
we predict, will not be far off, annexa-
ton will be carried. A union in the near
future is clearly foreshadowed by yester-
days vote.
The Portland daily press., 1898-03-08
THE ELECTION.

The Republicans yesterday reelected
the Hon. Charles a. Randall Mayor by
d majority in the neighborhood OF 700
and carried five wards, thus ensuring
control of both branches of the city coun
Gil The result under the circumstances
is exceedingly gratifying. There ap-
peared to be consider able apathy on the
part of the voters and it was to be feared
that this might have an unfavorable
effect upon the Republican majority as
the Democratic candidate had made
an active canvass among certain ele-
ments of the opposition. The Republi-
cans, however, generally. turned out and
voted the straight ticket. The A. P. A.
movement amounted to very little, falling
by far short of the predictions of its
promoters.
The reelection of Mr.. Randall retains
at the head Of the municipality gentle
man who has shown himself capable OF
administering the affairs of the city
wisely and prudently, and the election
of Republican city council ought to
assure to him hearty CO operation on
the part of the legislative branch of the
next city government. The record of the
present administration was somewhat
marred by unseemingly wrangling in
one branch of the city council. 1t is to
be hoped that in the year to come there
will be nothing of that kind.
The Portland daily press., 1898-03-08

The fact seems to be that Spain did not
demand the recall of Consul General Lee,
but did suggest to our government that
his ssrecall would be agreeable to her.
Even demand for recall,
followed by a refusal on our part, and q
dismissal by Spain would not necessarily
have brought on war. though in the pres
eRt strained relations between the two
countries it might have had
this effect. The right of a nation to re-
fuse to receive a minister or consul who
is persona non grata or to expel one whom
it has received IL he subsequently makes
his presence distasteful to her is not ids
puted, and the exercise of il is not a casus
belli. We dismissed Lori Sackville-West,
and If DeLome had not rendered his
resignation and thus got ahead of us we
should probably have dismissed him also.
Ordinarily, If a request for the
recall of consul were made 1t would be
followed by demand if not complied
with, and eventually if compliance was
still refused by his expulsion. That
Spain has withdrawn her request in the
case of Consul General Lee shows that she
is anxious not to do anything that shall
increase the tension between the two
countries, and effectually negatives the
assertion that is frequently made that she
is anxious for war with the United
States
The Portland daily press., 1898-03-08

There is evidently growing apprehen-
sion of war with Spain on the part Of the
government. No other explanation can
be offered of the haste with which legis-
Iation increasing the army and navy
and appropriating large sums for coast
defenoes is being put through Congress.
Yet, SO far as the public is informed
there is no cause for war now which has
not existed for long time. There has
been for long time apprehension that
the condition of Cuba might eventually
bring on collision between the United
States and Spain, but not until very re-
Gently has there been any noticeable pre-
paration for war. or course meantime
the Maine has been blown up, but as the
administration has declared that partici-
patton of Spain in that affair has been
eliminated by the evidence in the case,
1t would seem rs if there could not be in
that incident alone sufficient danger of
a collision to cause all the present pre-
parations. 1t seems to US that the real
explanation of the haste now being
made to put ourselves in condition of
defence musts lie in some important in
formation possessed by the government,
but not known to the public. Certain
ly a cool man like Mr.. Cannon would not
hurry to provide for an appropriation of
$50, O0O, 900 for coast defences unless he be-
lisved there was very grave reason to
fear that we were on the verge of war.
The Portland daily press., 1898-03-08

Representatives there should. be any ques'
tion about so old parliamentary rule as
the one that the person speaking shall
confine himself to the question under de-
bate. 1t has been a rule of the House Tor
more than one hundred years. But the
House has curious system that accounts
for some of the controversy which has
arisen. 1t considers all its appropriation
bills in what Is called the Committee OF
the Whole House on the State OF the
Union. In this committee not only the
particular bill is under consideration; nut
also the general state OF the Union is sup
posed to be before the body. Therefore
in the general debate before the reading
OF the bill for amendment is begun, the
widest latitude is allowed the member
who has the floor Both parties use ssthis
time for making political speeches for
their constituents, and it is considered
the proper time for talking on all sorts
OF subjects that are not before the House
or cannot be .before the House. In the
old days the slavery question fused to be
debated. Now Cuba, Hawaii, Armenia,
and such subjects are considered.
Nosone has interfered with this debate,
but some of the new Democratic membe
have assumed the same liberty in the
committee of the whole house, and even
in the House itself When called to order
some of the rivals for the Democratic lead
ership have espoused the cause of the new
memb erB, and Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, had
even put himself in the position of argyll
ing that, while it might be contrary to the
rules to speak on subject not before
the House, 1T was unusual If not inn
proper to enforce the rules in this respect.
This curious argument, or rather state
ment, was not in accordance with the
facts as understood by those having long
experience in the House, and if Mr..
Bailey should ever be speaker he would
probably contend that he based it upon
insufficient information.
Mr.. Bland ia about the only member
on the Democratic side who has de-
claimed about tyranny" because this
rule has been enforced. Mr.. Bland likes
very much to make his silver speech,
which is said by some to be unchanged
and Interchangeable from decade to decade,
on occasions when silver Is not the sub
jeot before the House; and he does not
comply gracefully when called down. So
it is not unnatural that in the brushes
over the relevancy of debate during the
last week he has been in the forefront of
those who want to talk on what they
please when they please, no matter what
may be the particular piece of business
before the House.
The Portland daily press., 1898-03-08

That the war spirit should be more ram.
pant in the interior than on the coast, in
the West than in New England is not
strange. About all the interior would
know about war with Spain would
come from reading the newspapers. On
the.sea coast it might be different. Our
seacoast cities would be threatened by
Spanish nen-of-war, and it is within the
possibilities that some of them might be
boInbarded or made to pay heavy tribute
It is quite natural that people who are like
ly to have to pay the cost of war should
olunt it more carefully beforehand than
people upon whom no such obligation is
likely to rest; and their doing SO does not
impugn in the least their patriotism
The Portland daily press., 1898-03-08

The defeat of the Hawaiian treaty Is
now acknowledged, and the Senate COM
mittee is preparing joint resolution to
be submitted to the Senate. There is very
little likelihood of proposition to annex
outlying islands getting any favorable
consideration until the prospect of war
with Spain has departed. A war with
Spain will be largely a naval war, and
all the ships we have we shall need to de-
fend our present sea coast and menace
Spanish possessions. To add Hawaii now
would be about equivalent-from a
strategic point-Go destroying two or
three of our ships, inasmuch as we should
have to draw off that number from the
protection of our coast to guard the Pa
cific islands. But even with the Spanish
controversy out of the way it is very doubt
full if the necessary majority can be OBJ.
tanned to annex the island. The project
has lost strength since its discussion be-
gan. When the treaty was reported in the
Senate it was confidently predicted that
it would easily command the two thirds
necessary to pass it. Discussion weak
ened it, and now the friends admit that 1t
cannot get the needed votes. An open
debate in both houses which will conss on
q joint resolution, will weaken it still
further.

other lesson of the waste and folly of this
method OF attempting to settle labor dis
putes inculcated where it will probably
do no good. The strikers have gained
absolutely nothing except a promise that
the companies will raise wages when
they can afford 10, a promise which they
could have got in all probability without
striking at all. They have lost many
thousands. of dollars in wages, have ex-
per1enced much want and suffering, and
some of them have become public charges
1t ought to have been clear to every one
of them that strike on falling market
end in the dead Of winter could not posi-
/ bly, be successful, and 1t would have been
if they had allowed their reasons to work.
But strikes are generally voted under the
influence of tonguey orators who present
but one side of the case and who appeal
chiefly to the passions. We are by no
means certain that all the blame for the
strike was on the side of the operatives
that is toIsny we are far from certain thst
the cut. that was made was. necessary and
demanded by the condition of the mills,
but whatever the fact about that may be,
there can be no doubt but the operatives
were guilty of the folly of striking when
the conditions were of kind that made
success impossible.
