APPROPRIATION BILL RIDERS.
Interesting History of This Method OF
Legislation.

Especial Dispatch to the PRESS.)
Washington, February 25. The action
of the Senate in refusing to put the Gu
ban belligerency resolution on to the dip
lomatio appropriation bill is of considera-
BILE importance and significance. The
proposition was to make the resolution a
rider on the apr opriation bill. The
temptation to such course of action is
obvious. The great appropriation bills
have right of way in both House and
Senate. Everything has to stand back
for them. and the rules are so framed, es-
pecially in the House, as to give these
bills the greatest advantage Such being
the case there has, almost from the be-
ginning of the government. existed the
propensity to make these bills the vehicle
of LEGISLATION which of itself, on it's own
merit or lack of merit, would hardly
have the strength to work its way
through Congress. In the past some very
important acts of legislation have gone
through on appropriation bills, some per-
haps of as much importance as the Cuban
belligerenoy resolution. There have also
been memorable struggles over such at
tempts, as was the case when the Demo
Gratis of the House ten or twelve years
ago attempted to repeal the Federal legis-
.ation relating to Southern elections by a

NO CAUSE FOR WAR.

Barring the possibility that the Spanish
government ordered the blowing up of
the Maine, possibility so infinitely
small that it is not worth considering,
and assuming any one of the other posi-
BILE way in which she could have been
destroyed to be the true one, we cannot
find one that would justify this country
in declaring war upon Spain. Suppose
that we assume that some Spanish
fanatic, full of insane hate of the United
States, fioated torpedo down against the
Maine, and in this way caused the disas-
ter. That would give us no moral or
legal ground for declaring war against
Spain. If the government had been guilty
of negligence we might have claim for
damage. but in the first instance the only
proper way to present that claim would
be through diplomatic channels. Even
if Spanish negligence to our minds was
very clear we should not be justified in
demanding indemnity at the oannon's
mouth. Or supposing that as a precau-
tionary measure torpedoes had been placed
in Havana harbor as a means of defence
in case OF war, as we have placed them
in some of our harbors, and by some
accident one Of them was exploded and
the Maine destroyed, then in this state OF
facts there would be no justification for a
declaration of war on our part. There
might be ground for demand for indem-
nity. but the demand in the first instance
could not be properly made, in any other
way than through the regular diplomatic
channels.
People, therefore, who are holding their
breath in feyerish expectation, that the
report of the Board of Inquiry may be
swiftly followed by an order to the Heet
now lying at the mouth of the Gulf OF
Mexico, to proceed to Havana and collect
the value of the ship and indemnity for
the lives lost at the cannon's mouth,
might as well resume natural breath ng.
Only in the exceedingly remote contiu-
pency that the Spanish authorities malic-
iousIy blew up the ship would there be the
slightest possibility of any such proceed
IRE. 1t should always be borne in mind
too that declaring war is the function of
Congress. The executive may demand
indemnity but before it can back 1t
m with declaration of war ii must get
the consent of Congress. There has been
a good deal of the lingo spirit IN tnat
body for some time past, to be sure, but
when the question of war or peace had
to be directly faced, the most OF 1t
would disappear. Indeed a good deal OF 1t
has already disappeared. AS the gravity
of the situation has grown greater, the
spirit OF reeklessness and bravado has
grown smaller. Within few days two OF
the most belligerent men in the Senate,
Allen of Nebraska and Morgan OF Ala
hama. have shown themselves capable OF
calmness and of caution even.

SUBMARINE BOAT GIVEN TRIAL.

New York, February 25.-The subma
rine boat Holland, which made success
full trial trip last evening is today tied vi
ct the Raritan Dry Dock comrany'i
place at Perth Amboy. There was bis
crowd of people at the docks today, bu1
nobody was allowed to go near her.
The government tug Narkesta is lying
at the mouth of the dock, and about 81
feet from the Holland. No one about the
Holland would say whether it was thu
intention for the boat to remain at Peril
Amboy or return to Elizabeth to the ship
yards.
1t is reported that several Spanish de
tectiyes were included in the crowds
which swarmed about the dry docks and
that they were keeping the Spanish con
sui general in New York fully informed
as to the movements of the Holland.
Those about the Holland appeared jubi
liant because of the successful trip of yes
terday.
It is said that tho. Holland would go tt

AS rule in the selection of candidates
parties are controlled by one of three con-
siderations Either it is conspicuous TT
ness for the office which determines the
selection, OF supposed popularity with the
voters. or party usage. In selecting Mr..
Ingraham the Democrats have not merely
ignored all three, but defied them. No
body will claim that Mr.. Ingraham is
conspieuousIy fit for the office of chief
magistrate of this town, at this late day,
could not therefore have been selected on
that ground. Neither could he have been
selected for any special popularity with
the voters for the last time he ran fer
Mayor, though he had great many
"pulls," he was defeated. Party usage
could not be successfully invoked in his
hehalf for to nominate man who has
been defeated after serving one term, Is
directly at variance with party usage.
What then brought about the selection of
Mr.. Ingrahams In our judgment.it.w
NJ. Ingraham himself. In short in our
opinion, which is strongly supported by
the insidelhistory of the-convention which
nominated him, Mr.. Ingraham Is now
the candidate, not because the majority
of the convention as elected wanted him
but because he is a much greater adept at
political arts than was his rival in the
convention.

The Postmaster General has offered a
reward of $500 for the apprehension of
the murderers of Postmaster Baker at
Lake City, S. c. The chances are, how
ever, that the reward will lead to moth
ing. In all probability there is enough
wnpathy with the murderers among the
white population to screen the guilty
parties. Should they be apprehended
they would not be convicted. In very
few, If any, instances has white man in
the South been punished for killing a
negro for political reasons.

A correspondent telegraphs from
Havana that while rumors are plentiful
facts are exceedingly scarce, indeed abso-
lutely wanting. This undoubtedly is a
correct statement of the situation. The
great ma jority of the reports that we get
from Havana are rumors, and they are
sent out because there is nothing else to
send. So long 8 s they are published for
what they are, mere rumors, they do no
particular harm for the public is able
to estimate them at pretty near their true
value; but when they are dignified, as
they are by some of the reckless CORES

Southern Philippines and consisting of the
best and richest natives Of Panaiy. Man.
dore and Mindanao. visited United States
Consul Williams yesterday evening and
urged that every possible effort be made
for the annexation of the whole of the
Philippine islands. The deputation declared
that gil classes, the warlIke mountalneers
as well as those engaged in mercantile pur-
suits. would welcome the stars and stripes.
and had resolved never to submit to Span
ish or Tagal rule.
They also said there were 1900 men, many
of them armed with rifles, near Iloilo
ready to support the Americans. They re-
fused to join in the clamor for independ-
ence. which they consider a mistake and
impracticabie. They only wish for annex
alton to the United States.
The delegations propose to interview Cen
eral Otis, the American commander, to ap-
peal to President Mckinley, and to confer
with Aguinaldo's followers, with the view
to arranging for a combined movement to
insist upon annexation. They will also
ask that the insurgent regiments be en-
rolled in the American army, with Amer
ican officers, and the insursent chiefs be
given American appointments under Cen
eral Otis.
Aguinaldo remains at Dakoor. He recently
wrote an impertinent letter to General Otis,
which resulted in his receiving a sharp
snub. The insurgent leader will probably
