Democratic Politics vs.. Patriotism.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20. In the
face of the certainty of war with which we
are now confronted, it may seem little IN
gracious to recall the action of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress, who for week past
have been trying to make political capital
out of the debate on the intervention reso-
buttons. But as the Democrats in the Sem
ate thought it necessary to enter into an
elaborate defence of their position yester-
day afternoon, it is just as we'll that the
facts should be set down as they are. Until
the arrival of Bryan on the field party
lines seemed to have been obliterated in
the face of a national exigency. But
Bryan could not resist the temptation to
lug politics into the consideration of the
case, and it was through his advice that
the Democrats in the Senate and in the
House lined up almost solidly in support
of the recognition of the Cuban Republic.
the only apparent reason being that the
President had argued against recognition
in his message, and that the great ma
jority of the Republicans in Congress
were willing to follow his lead. The re-
suit of Bryan's man9uvre was the long
uS'otO CAulhS III NlouudS X,
which delayed action by Congress for at
least two days, and finally placed the
Democrats in the Senate in the unenviable
position of voting against the resolution
on the final call of the roll. German.
Gray and Morgan were not led into the
trap, but opposed recognition throughout
and refused to take part in the dilatory
tactics of their party associates. 1t hap
pens that with the exception of White and
Catfrey all the Democrats in the Senate
are eager for armed Intervention. But
through weakly playing politics they have
placed themselves on record in way
which they will never be able adequately
to explain. AS Senator Hale remarked
yesterday, this is the pitiless fact, and
there can be no explanation which will
clear the Democratic Senators on one
charge while convicting them on another
The Democrats in the House showed more
political sense, and after preserving their
party lines until the final roll call, Joined
with the Republicans for the sake of Civ
ing unanimity to the vote of Congress.

continued his teasing until Abe Carpenter
said: Say, Mealy, we want you to go to
the cave with US to- morrow; can you?''
The ''can YOU was an imputation on

He replied, ''Uh- huh! you just bet your

boys sat in the dirt behind the barn, chat
tering about the new boy, whose name,
according to the others, was "Bud'' Per-
kins. Mealy entered the conversation
with much masculine pomp-toomuch in
fact; for when he became particularly
vain glorious some one in the group was
certain to glance at his shoes-and shoes

But Mealy did not feel his disgrace.
He walked up the ash path to the kitchen
with an excellent imitation Of manly
pride in his gait. He kicked at passing

whipped the new boy if his father had
not interrupted the fight.
AS Mrs. Jones heard the boys step on
the porch, she said to his father, Now,
pa, that boy has been punished enough

Harold walked by his father with averted
face. At supper the boy did not look
at his father, and when the dishes were
put away, Mr.. Jones, who sat in the
kitchen smoking, heard his wife and the
child in front room, chatting cheerly.
The lonesome father smoked his pipe and
recalled his youth. The boys voice
brought back his own shrll treble. And
he coughed nerv ously. After Mrs. Jones
had put the lad to bed. and was in the
pantry arranging for breakfast, the father
| knocked the ashes from his briar into
the stove, and, humming an old tune,
went to the boys bedroom door. He
paused awkwardly on the threshold. The
boy turned his face toward the wall. The
action cut the father to the quick He
walked to the bed and bent over the child
touching fathers rough bearded face to
the soft cheek. He found the soft hand
with a fathers large hand-under the
sheet, and he held the little hand tightly
as he said:
"Well, Harold'-there he paused for a
second. But he continued" Do you

hadn't Gomez"
Then the two laughed, and little throb

He felt lonely, deserted, and mistreated,

Seems to Be in the Blood,

This to the Baltimore Sun recently
from Hagerst0wn:
The proposition sprung at the recent mass
meeting of citizens for the purpose of pro-
testing against the eXtravagant use of money
in the municipal departments that the city
shall commence rerenchment by owning her
own electric lighting plants has caught on.
The safer plan is-do not lease the
town to any company.
Later and worse;
The city council last Thursday, Dec. y
night unanimously passed an ordinance to
establish municipal electric light plant and
providing for the sale of 1000 of bonds to
pay for the plant. The present contract for
lighting the town is with the Hagerstown
Railway company. The city contends the
contract expires two years hence. The COM
pany claims it runs for seven years longer.
Bad either way for Hagerstown.
1t shows, however, that the people of
Hagerstown, unlike those of Frost
burg, are alive and kicking against
corporate tyranny.
Look at that sentence-''the com
pany claims it runs for seven years
longer" Doesn't that sound home
like Didn't our own cat lick itself
atfectiohately with the observation
''now we have elected them we will
use them ;" And, as conclusive an,
swer to all questions of its arrogance
doesn't it purr-''well, we got the con
tract -

to an inconsiderable doughnut that
the Hagerstown lion aud the Frost
burg cat are of the same lineage.

What They Don't Know.

What They Don't Know.
There is a suspicion abroad that no
member of the town Councll-not even
of the Light committee, knows how
many lights he is voting pay for each
month.
For instance, the bill comes into
Council for a certain number Of arc
lights at so much per month. but the
item of incandescent lights is stated in
bulk. That is, the number of mean
descent lights is not given.
Besides. there is no member knows
where these lights are placed nobody
probably not even the electric com
pany's experts, know what is their
real candle-power-all this, too, when
the bill for this item averages over 500
per month.
The JOURNAL knows of one, located
not far from the glaze of Charles James
Fox Birds are, that is of about as
much use as an illumination as half
candle-power flicker in Piney Grove.
and its probable annual cost is SO.
