'' 'JOHNY REB' GET YOUR GUN.
We Are Certainly on the Verge
Of War, or the Signs
Belle.
THE COMMITTEES REPORT.
Both the Majority and Minority Re-
port Means War with
Spain.

II Is the Impression IN Washington
that today, both branches of Con-
gress will pass a bin looking to the
freeing of the Western Hemisphere
of the Spaniard's rule forall time
to come. Both the house and SEN
ate committees have agreed upon
immediate interyeution.
The indications now are that the
Foraker resolution which the senate
committee has agreed upon will be
the one adopted, though modified
in way.
The paragraph which recognizes
Cuban independence, may be strick-
en- out and a few slight changes
made.
The following reports we're placed
before the senate yesterday at a
late hour
81 That people of the island of
Cuba are, and of right ought to be
free and independent,
"2. That it is the duty of The
United States to demand, and the
government of the United States
does hereby demand that the gov
ernment of Spain at once relinqulsh
its authority and government in
the island of Cuba and withdraw its
land and naval forces from Cuba
and Cuban waters.
SO. That the president of the
United States be, and he is hereby
directed and empowered, to use the
entire land and naval forces of the
United States, to call into actual
service the United States militia of
the several states to such extent as
may be necessary to carry these
resolutions into effect. "
This resolution was followed by a
minority report, which is covered in
the following paragraph:
The undersigned members of
the committee onforeign relations
cordially concur in the report made
upon the Cuban resolutions, but we
favor the immediate recognition of
the republic of Cuba as organized
in that island as a free, indepen-
dent and sovereign power among
the nations of the world.
1t was signed by Senators Turpie,
Mills, Daniel democrats and Fora
ker (republican.)
The Senate then went into a dis
cussion on the resolution until an
adjournment was had in the house,
Party lines we're drawn and the
democrats and republicans felt call
ed upon to punch each others nose,
yell and pass the lie around promis-
cuousIy. There was a division in
the house, both sides wanted armed
Intervention in Cuba, but they
could not agree as TO whether they
would recognize the Cubans as an
Independent government or go
there and fight just to see change
of some kind Of government set up
other than under Spain,
1t is confidently expected ere the
sun sinks behind the horizon today,
we will be plunged into a war with
Spain and that our soldiers will at
once be moved to all stragetic
points of our seaports.

WashingtonApr l4-While move
ments rapidly look towards war, ac-
tual hostilities may be postponed
ter days. General belief that SEN
ate resolutions prevail, as more the
observing of administration prefers
house resolutions. Several peace
senators will not talk for war. The
resolution must be signed by the
President; he can take ten days

"Clingingn and Stays.

We quite agree with men who
admire trim-waisted, neatly shod
and gloyed girl, but they are quite
mistaken in supposing she can be
'sclinging" at the same time. No
body can cling in sixteen inch
stays, and that is one of their great
est drawbacks. Let an enterprising
man try to embrace small wasted
girl, and in few minutes he will find
her Withdrawing herself gracefully
from his clasp, not being able to
stand the gentle pressure. He may
put it down to coyness, but it is
really stays, as distant creak will
inform him if he has good ears. Why,
when an actress wants to play a
clinging, emotional part, does she
not put on tea-gown before she
starts on the job? We have heard
Of a girl who always took off her
stays when she wanted to indulge
in good cry, and one who could
not cry because of them. And even
nice, pretty pointed boots are a
trifing cramped to the affections.
You can be trim, smiling, amiable,
and pleasant even in sixteen.inch
stays when you have got used to
them, but, believe me, you simply
cannot cling worth cent.

ILL1NoIAN LEGISLATION.

Over half century ago, and with
in the knowledge of the compiler,
the Illinois House of Represents
tives passed a bill prohibiting bet
ting on elections, putting the penal.
ty at, 'not exceeding one thousand
dollars, and imprisonment not to
exceed thirty days.
We have no recollection as to
what extent this law was carried
out. But we opine that if such o
law were general in cur country and
strictly carried out, and If besides
an equal penalty were inflicted fol-
the extensive traffic in buying and
selling votes, the United States
would not be under the necessity oil

ANECDOTAL LITERATURE.
Gathered and Compiled for the In
dependent by W. G.
THE WANDERING JEW.

THE WANDERING JEW.
The legend of the wandering Jew
dates back to that august and heart
rending passion-scene on Mt. Cal
vary where the Son Of God, as son
of man, was crucified. 1t was the
death of all deaths--the drama of
all dramas-the event of all events
in its character and significance.
The saying is, that when our Saw
Jour was compelled to csrry his
cross to the place of execution, he
became faint on the way usder the
heavy burden. The way led past
the house of Ahasuerus, rich and
prominent Jew. Here Jesus sat
down on the doorstep to rest few
moments. The Jew, coming out to
view the solemn procession, and no.
ticing Jesus sitting before his door,
cursed him and drove him away.
Jesus, looking at him reproachfully
yet sorrowfully, said to him, "Thou
shalt wander upon the earth until |
come again Scarcely had tho
solemn procession started again,
when the Jew, realizing the import
of the Saviour's words, was struck
with terror and alarm. From that
hour he had no rest. He had no
more will of his own, but was com.
PEELED and doomed to wander upon
the earth, finding no rest either in
body or mind, and, no grave to
drop into, until the Lord comes
again.
The condemnation of this hard
hearted Jew to an incessant wan
dering upon the earth through all
the centuries to the end of time has
been theme for poets and novelists,
and has been utilized by such men
as Schulbart, Schlagel, Goethe and
others, and during the present cen.
fury by Sue, French novelist in a
book of some size, entitled "The
Wandering jew"
Although this legend is myth, it
teaches 3 lesson. 1t symbalizes the
condition of the Jews collectively
as q people. The crucifixion Of
Christ by this people has caused
them to be deprived of their coun.
try and nationality, and doomed
them to wander among the nations
of the earth.
| Yet, withal, this peculiar people
once the chosen of God, will be O
people again in the far future. Ac'
cording to prcphesy, they will, in
Gods own time, return to their ma
tive land, and be christianized fol
the Millennium.
