principles. it is the duty of those whose
words may influence to lead it back TO
the Magma Charta of self government.
1T is the misfortune of great par
ties when long in power, that to it
flock all those who desire to enrich
themselves 10y legislation which this
party can give them To the Republic
an party there have hocked during the
last few years many birds of i'll omen,
undesirable as tenants, who are making
the house so foul that they are driving
out the rightful owners.
"These undesirable acquisitions the
masses of the party would be only too
glad to get rid of for the party's good.
I make in my mind no difference be-
tween the integrity of the common peo-
pie in one party or another 1t is party
leadership which is most always at
fault when things go wrong. II the
leaders are of the type of Mr. Lincoln,
we have government for the people. If
they are Of other types which might
mention, we have government for bond
holders and plunderers
In late years the influence Of wealth
indicating legislative measures and
government policies is becoming more
and more apparent. Mr.. Cleveland dis
rupted his party in doing the biddings
OF a money syndicate. which made
enormous profits out of q scandalous
bond deal Today all the trusts, all the
mOnopalies have taken refuge under
the wing of the Republican party be-
cause they fear the Democratic party,
which has kicked them out.
'1n my own state railroads have been
faithful allies of the Republican party.
They put up the money which helps
elect their kind of people to the legisla-
ture and in return expect favorable
measures and exemption from paying
their share Of taxes. The monopolist,
the franchise grabber, the lobbyist, the
political apostles of Doodle, are all ex-
treme partisans. When they elect them
selves TO office by main force of money,
they ascribe IL to divine intervention
Of Providence in behalf of the nation
and its honor.
MANY OF us lifelong Republicans who
do not trade with the money power are
heartily sick of being obliged TO con-
done and defend the trusts. You per-
haps remember how before the war
many Of the clergy argued for humap
slavery as a divine institution. The
/ question Is today, do half fares on
railroads and contributions influence
! the clergy TO deal gently with great
/ wrongs?' The power of money in this
country retains newspapers, Il directs
the great news distributing agencies
and telegraphs, Il elects men to the SEN
ate and to the house. it manipulates ma
tional and state conventions.
Those of US who believe in govern
ment for the people should not hesitate
TO denounce men of our party who
would make ours only a government for
the benefit of the almighty dollar and
the possessors' thereof"

rhe Hon.e pIsousses Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Cuba had
hearing in the house, and for a time II
looked as II parliamentary precedents

override the decision Of the chair as the
only chance of securing action on the
proposition Mr.. Bailey. the leader of

opportunity 10 vote his sentiments on
the Cuban question he would cooperate
in any revolutionary movement made
TO secure action. The Republican tao
tics kept to the front the point that
the minority were seeking to override

Maryland senator Ahead Of the other
CandIdates on Irirst ballot.


ANNAPOLIS. Jan 19.-The first ball
lot in the Maryland legislature for a
successor to Arthur r. German in the
United states senate was taken yester-
day, each branch ballOting separately,
with the following result:
German. 43; McComas. "a; Shaw. IL;
Shryock. 81 Findlay 2; Parran. 6; Null
iiSin i Barber 6; Urner. /; Lowndes,
1; Page. 4 total, 1O9 Absent, Repub-
licans. 2; Democrats 6. Necessary TO a
choice, SO.
Senator German IS the Democratic
caucus nominee, and Judge Henry Page
received the vote of one Democrat, who
refused 10 abide by the decision OF the
caucus because he believed the east
ern shore" is entitled under an ancient
statute TO the senatorship and took this
mode OF emphasizing his belief. But
one ballot was taken. and this leaves
the situation as much involved in un-
certainty as II was before the voting
began.
In view Of the split in the ranks Of
the Republicans there are many who
believe that IL is yet possible for
Senator German TO succeed himself If
he can carry the next legislative cleo
tion in November, 1899. This posslbili-
~ is. however, admitted by the Demo-
cratic leaders TO be q very remote one.

Morgan Says Failure to Do So
Will Mean Bloodshed.
REPORT ON TELLER'S RESOLUTION.
Representative Dc Almond Introduces In
tho House Resolution TO Recognize
Cuba as Amendment to an ApprO-
priation Bill. but Is Defeated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Senator
Morgan occupied the attention Of the
senate during the entire time of the
executive session in the presentation Of
his views on the subject of the annexa-
tion OF the Hawaiian Islands. This was
the second installment of the senator's 9
speech. and when he concluded, a few
minutes after o'clock, he had not then
reached the end. He spoke for about
three hours, and his speech was a gen.
eral presentation OF the Importance Of
the islands TO the United States.
He dwelt especially upon the military
Importance OF the Islands, quoting Gen
eral Schoheld and Captain Mahan at
length in support of his position that
the islands We're a natural outpost for
the United States and necessary to the
proper protection Of our western coast
and Of our general commerce in case Of
war.
In closing he said that failure to an
mex the islands meant inevitable blood
shed, and the responsibility for that
bloodshed would rest upon the senate
of the United States for its failure to
perform its duty at this critical hour
in the history Of the two countries.
The open session of the senate was
brief. Practically the only business ac-
compllshed aside from the routine pro-
ceedings was the passage of the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill. The meas
ure as finally passed by the senate car
ries 81 ,913, $40. The Teller resolution
providing that bonds Of the United
States may be paid in standard silver
dollars was favorably reported by a
majority OF the finance committee, and
notice was given that II would be called
up at an early day. An effort was
made to fix a time for the final vote
on the pending census bill, but was
abandoned.
Senator Teller introduced a bill regu-
lating Interstate traffic In Wild game
and making it unlawful for any rail-
road company or other common carrier
10 ship game from one state TO another
contrary TO the laws OF the state from
which shipped The control Of the traf-
nc is placed I'm the hands Of the inter-
state commerce commission.
Senator Galllnger. from the senate
committee on public health, reported
favorably TO the senate the bill au-
thorlzing the investigation Of leprosy
in the United States and in doing so
presented In support of IL a letter from
the surgeon general OF the Marine hos
pltal service. The surgeon general ex-
presses the opinion that there are many
more cases OF leprosy In the United
States than are actually known.
The senate confirmed II. d. Saylor OF
Pennsylvania to be consul at Matanzas.
