oBSTRUcTIoNISTS AND
THE PEOPLE.

The Newlands resolution pro-
viding for the annexation Of
Hawaii passed the House by q
vote of 2oI to oI. The majority
voting against the resolution be
| ing Democrats. A rather peculiar
fact in relation to the vote is that
many Of the representatives from
States that came into the Union
through the Louisiana purchase as
we'll as many of those from Texas
opposed the annexation resolu-
ton. These men from this annex
ed territory had, too, practically
only the same arguments to pre-
sent against annexation that the
obstructionists of other days urg-
ed against the acquisition Of the
vast territory bought from France
or the great State Of Texas.
Heretofore Democrats have
stood for the advancement and ex-
pansion Of our territory. 1t looks
strange to see Democrats standing
in opposition to such measures.
A number Of Democrats, notably
Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas, and MIR.
Bland, of Missouri, are complete
ly out of touch with the people of
the country on this question.
Their opposition is making the
people very tired. Such men had
just as well make up their minds
to get out of the way or be run
over and trampled under foot by
National advancement. The peo-
pie are not in any humor to listen
to croakers just now.
This country owes a duty to
humanity and it is going to dis
charge that duty. Its flag stands
for freedom and enlightenment,
and though it may cost us some
thing in both blood and treasure,
We must accept the opening offer
ed us and face the responsibility
thrust upon US by the exigency Of
the times. The people have said
and they mean it, Shoot the
man on the spot, who attemps to
tear down the American flag from
where once it has floated."
The politician who does not de-
sire a complete and final retire
ment to private life will do well to
take time to feel the pulse Of the
nation if he has not already taken
to perform this very
duty.

CONGRESS HAS SPOKEN.

\ ] ITH a promptness which will be hailed with w qualification throughout the country, the two
 houses of Congress have reconciled their diff ferences and taken action on the Spanish crisis Those who have feared that the situation threatened dead lock are relieved, and those who all along have had an unshaken confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of the representatives of the people have occasion to rejoice that their faith was well founded
 The resolution adopted is somewhat in the nature ot a compromise, but it surrenders nothing of any principle stake The only difference at issue be- tween the majority in the Senate and that in the House was one of policy than anything else, and the basis of agreement therefore reached without engendering dissatisfaction on either side
 It IS needless to say that the great of the peo- pie will be we'll pleased with the end of the debate When the bulletin announcing the resolution agreed upon by the conference committee placed upon The Call bulletin boards 1t was greeted with cheers by the crowds that had gathered to wait the news be- fore sleeping. When later it added that the Senate had accepted the conference report the cheers were louder and longer At last, when the came that the House also had adopted the resolution the outburst of applause prolonged and exultant great victory had been already achieved for the Union and for Cuba.
 By the resolution Congress declares that the Gu bans and of right ought to be free This valves the question of recognizing the Junta Government but leaves no doubt of the intention of the United States to drive Spain from the island and secure the Cubans in the enjoyment of their independence With that declaration the people will be satisfied It throws down the gantlet to Spain She must retire or fight Nor there be any doubt of what the consequence will be. Spain will fight We shall have war The Maine will be avenged.

AUCTION SALES.
AN EVIDENT MISCONCEPTION.

C ENERAL MILES order refusing permission
 for the troops at the Presidio to march through
 the city on their way to the front evidently founded a misconception of the situation The General based his refusal on the ground that such a march would be in the of spectacular parade inappropriate to the occasion This is clearly an CT and it IS to be hoped the General will reconsider his decision before the troops move.
 The initial march to by body of soldiers equipped for long campaign and in fatigue uniform IS not spectacular performance in the ordinary meaning Of that phrase. One might well call the solemn service of the church spectacular perform There IS essential and vital difference be- tween the sight of going about great and noble duty with weordered discipline, and display which is intended as pageant merely. A parade which is to end with parade is spectacular performance but march of soldiers to the call of patriotic duty is very different thing and has profoundly different effect upon the minds of the beholders.
 The patriotism of the people so keenly excited at this time has awakened in every breast ardent de sire to manifest the loyalty which all feel for the flag ot the republic and the army and navy, which uphold it in battle It was this feeling that prompted the peo- pie to make General Lees return continuous ova- ton from Tampa to Washington. It was because he stood representative of the nation in its attitude toward Spain that thousands greeted him with cheers at every station along its route He showed himself to the people and received the cheers of right he should Does any sane man in America consider that in doing this General Lee made himself spectacular show?
 The desire of the people of San Francisco to see the troops start their march to the front is one of honest patriotism, and not o idle curiosity Arrange ments had been made to permit the children of the public schools to witness the march that nights them a memorable object lesson and instill into them conceptions of the honor that comes to those who uphold the glory of the flag. It would have entered into mans mind that the occasion was one of spectacular parade, and had such sug- gestion come from any of less dignity than the commanding general of the army, it would have been hooted down with indignation

 Saying, Come,

THE TELELECTROSCOPE.

| \EPORIS , from Europe to the effect that the E greatest marvel of the Paris exposition in 1000
 will be, in all probability the apparatus devised by Herr Szczepank known as the telclectroscope by means of which actual scenes are made visible to people hundreds of miles away from the spot where they occur. The machine it is said has not yet been perfected, but experiments made with have been so far successful that the inventor 1t IS reported has re- ceived $I25oooo for the exclusive right to use the patent at the exposition and in France generally
 According to the London correspondent of the New York Sun the machine is development of the kinetoscope, only it performs much more marvellous feats than that invention The scene which is to be transmitted is divided into number of non+e eocb of which is reflected in a mirror and the reflected of light IS then converted into an electric current which can be sent to almost any distance and again converted into the corresponding light ray As these rays are thrown upon screen in rapid succession the result to the observer IS picture something like that exhibited by the kinetoscope
 Great expectations cherished of the possibilities of the machine If is brought to anything like tbe perfection hoped for it will enable persons many n,ee distant to watch theatrical performances. games of all kinds, and even battles that are not too widely extended It might save people the trouble and cost of going to Paris to see the exposition. for in the various buildings could be transmitted easily to surrounding countries and possibly across the ocean
 It goes without saying however. that if the ma chine is anything like equal to what the inventor claims for it the world will have to wait until the Paris exposition opens in 1000 to it. There will in all probability be large field for 1t in Cuba before long, and we shall then learn what 1t can do in the way of showing battles in operation to people who do not care to go to the battle-felds to see them Herr Szczepanik is in fair way to achieve fame and it is to be regretted that his can never become popular

THE YELLOW INGALLS,.

| HE war situation calls into action every agency | of sander and detraction directed against the
 administration. The Hearst papers offer mar ket to every lnSinuation rumor, alsehood and cal ufnny that reflects upon the President.
 The fellow who seems to have the most of this eculence for sale is Ingalls,, the ex-Senator He is:
 Like peach that's got the yenows
 With the meanness breakin' out"
 described in the Bigeow Papers.
 With disoya disregard of the countrys interests he obeys instructions to abuse the President for everything that IS done left undone With as much knowledge ot war and tactics hog has of bicycle riding, ne plans campaigns and military movements; and, with quality of statesmanshp fitted to the size of boodler in some solid ring in City Council he treats of international questions as if international law were the seasons rule for baseball or sugging matches. His vigorous temper is armed with vocab- uiary of vituperation that would be the envy of a cosermonger and loyalty to his country sits as lightly upon him as propriety on Chinese boatwoman.
 He knows just where to place the poison of an in situation, where to plant the sting of haf-le filled with the venom of whole lie. His ingenuity is ad- dressed to making other evil as he is Loyalty to country and fidelity to trust in others are mirrors in which he sees his own petty and evil genius reflected His intellectual gift is the invention of 1NN iOi Soou high purpose to the gutter wherein he roots and grunts and makes the air foul He is employed to de- fame the President for pay nure his country for hire, to make men worse, for consideration He takes contract to spread moral pesence for the benefit of Hearst's yellow papers.
 He IS the costumer and modiste of Hearsts wanton journals. Out of his stock of English dehled he daubs rouge and henna, grease paints the wrinkles of de bauchery and sprinles meen fun to repair the fading attractions of the yellow creatures and suspend for time the public aversion to that pair of painted hussies
 Tosell papers he strkesa the Government of which he was once a member demoralizes politics which bettered by his retirement to private life and weakens every national energy that be affected by the virus of his abandoned mind.
 The time is coming when the suppression of such creatures will be demanded by the public safety When everything IS in peril and all that men have is at stake in the great that is the pant ing of gunners may be heard they load and range the guns no yellow jacket like Ingalls, whose sole talent is in his sting will be permitted annoy the chosen leader of the people weaken the averaging of the country by directing it aim false blow
 If in war the civil law is not silent it will be found equipped with to silence those who by 1y ing, make dissension at home and strengthen the enemy abroad
