In Gods good time and after many
days the patriotic, loyal sentiment of
the country has triumphed over the
Sugar Tories. and an agreement has

vote on the Newlands resolution is TO

The legislative engagement Of yester-

success was achieved, viii be found
fully described in our news columns.
At this time we do not need to review

MR.. KYLE ATTACKED.
Mr.. Butler Attempts to Read Him
Out of the PopufiSt Party.


One of the most interesting episodes of
yesterdays proceedings in the Senate
was the effort of Chairman Butler Of the
National Pepuiist Committee to read Sen
ator Kyle Of South Dakota out of the
party. It developed a very breezy and,
at times. acrimonious discussion, in which
the two senator's were the central figures.
Snap judgment was taken on Mr.. But
Ter. so that he was prevented from pro-
ceeding with his statement before the
vote on the conference report. As Mr..
Stewart concluded his remarks Mr.. But
Ter arose to address the chair The Vice
President did not recognize him, but did
see Mr., AIdFich, who called for the regu-
lar order and demanded the yeas and
nays on the adoption of the report. This
was ordered and the clerk began to call
the roll. while Mr.. Butler was standing
on his feet seeking to catch the eye of
the Vice President
BY this little parliamentary obstruction
of the vision OF the presiding officer the
vote on the conference report was Sc
cured at least an hour before it other
wise would have been, and when Mr.. But
Ter finally did get the floor he was in any
thing but an amiabIe frame of mind. The
text for his attack on Mr.. Kyle was a
statement published in the press to the
effect that Mr. Kyle was the only Popr-
list who voted for the issue Of bonds
when that part OF the bill was before the
Senate. Mr. Butler asserted that Mr
Kyle was not Popuhst, and paid his re-
spects TO that senator in rather caust5c
fashion. No Populist, he said would vote
for bonds.
It was quite natural that Mr. Kyle
should reply. He declared that such men
as Mr.. Butler We're doing the Populist
cause great injury and thar they were
more dangerous to republican institutions
than many other classes that have been
denounced by the public. Mr., Kyle con-
tended that he was responsible only to
his own conscience for what he did and
he warned both Democrats and PopuIists
who were voting to withhold from the
Administration all necessary support in
this time of war that they were going
contrary to the demands of the people.
who would hold them responsible.
Finally Mr.. Pettigrew took hand in
the discussion and elimination and re-
elimination soon passed between the two
senators from South Dakota. Mr. Petit
grew attempted TO show that Mr.. Kyle
had been elected by a combination in
which the Republicans furnished the ma
jor part of the votes, and that in receiv-
ing this support Mr.. Kyle agreed to vote
with the Republicans on all matters save
only the question of the free coinage of
silver
This Mr. KYLE denied with emphasis
The charge was characterized as false in
toto and intensely malicious from begin
ming to end BY this time the washing
OF South Dakota political linen had gone
about as far as the Senate cared to al
low, and Mr.. Pettus suggested that some
other time and place would be better for
the continuation of the discussion and it
was dropped. The matter did not tend

two senator's from South Dakota The

VOLUNTEERS TO VOTE.
Bill Passed by the House Yesterda
for That Purpose.


for That Purpose.
There was an unusually large attend
ance in the House yesterday for a Friday
session.
The bill to enable volunteer soldiers to
vote was put on its passage.
Mr.. Cummings, who had been making
heroic efforts to have the bill amended
so as to include the naval militia in the
benefits of the bill, moved to recommit
the bill, with instructions to add a sec
ton comforting the right to vo,e while in
the service upon the naval reserves. He
had scarcely made his motion when Mr.
Smith of Michigan. having charge of the
bill, demanded the previous question.
After the bill had been read Mr. Smith
asked unanimous consent to Withdraw his
demand in order that Mr.. Cummings
might offer his amendment.
Mr.. Cummings indignantly rejected the
proposition, saying he had been taken
from the floor in a summary manner, and
ha demanded the regular order. This was
Mr.. Cummings's motion to recommit. On
that the ayes and nays were ordered.
The vote was Ia yeas to 103 nays but
enough changes were secured by the
friends of the bill to reverse the result,
and make it stand ayes, 100; nays, 120.
The motion was lost, and the bill was
then passed by a vote of 195 to 42-
On moeion of Mr.. Hull. a bill to amend
the volunteer act so as 10 place staff
officers in the volunteer army under the

ADOPTED By THE SENATE.
The War Revenue Bill Goes
Through With Little Delay.


The Senate yesterday agreed to the con-
ference report on the war tax bill by
vote of 4S to % after four and one-half
hours of debate.
The report was laid before the Senate
at $780, and Mr.. Allison ventured the as
sertion that no explanation was neces-
sary, as all were familiar with the pur-
port of the changes made.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas, however, took
the floor and went over the report, set
ting forth the reasons why he could not
vote for 1T. His principal reason for
opposition was the bond provision. Mr.
Jones stated that he was disappointed
In the way the coinage of the seigniorage
had been left by the committee. but that
as it provided for the coinage of sl,500. 900
a month it was better than having it left
out of the bill altogether He expressed
a regret that the bond proposition in
the bill, as there were some of the pro-
visions of the bill for which he would like
to vote
1t was evident that those in favor of
the report were anxious to get vote as
soon as possible. and when Mr.. Jones
had concluded there were calls for a
vote.
Mr. Wolcott, however, spoke briefly in
support of the report and declared that
in his opinion the committee were to be
congratulated on the proportion of sue
cess they had attained in their difficult
task.
Speeches were then made by Senator'S
| Chiffon, Bacon, Teller German, Cannon
and Stewart.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Stewards re-
marks. Senator Butler was on his feet
prepared for a speech. but before he could
obtain recognition the chair had put the
question and Mr.. Aldrich had called for
the yeas and nays.

wickedness of Yankee projectiles


The Spanish nation has been agitated
by another proof of the inherent fiend-
ishness of all Americans 1t has been
reported in Madrid that the shells
which fell into Porto Rico were
stamped United States-Porto Rico,
1885" AS it takes a considerable time
TO make such munitions of war and
get them to the front. the inference
is plain. Months ago the Americans
had these shells made. and designed
them especially for Porto Rico. Thus,
when they had a chance TO lombard
Porto Rico, the shop-keeping Yankees
shot of the shells so as not TO waste
them-not because the people OF san
Juan had done anything TO US

solute proof that the Americans de-
cided upon war months ago. and de-
liberately forced Spain into it. Blanco

The Mnr Re,enue Bin.

Mr.. Mckinley may congratulate him
self that there has been too much
patriotism in Congress to make a party
issue of the war revenue bill, and that
it has been passed without material
opposition as it came from the con-
ference committee. AS we have stated
before there are features about it
which. under other circumstances, we
might have antagonized and urged our
friends in the Senate and House TO
make fight on.
The present is not time to wash our
family linen in public. 1t is better that
minor abuses should be tolerated, and
that points of principle even should be
ignored temporarily, than that the war
power of the Government should be
paralyzed for a moment. Democrats
and other late opponents of the Ad-
ministration, in this and other matters
connected with the current situation,
have evinced a patriotic spirit and a
willingness to sink partisan interests
that we hope win not escape the no
tice OF the President and his advisers.
1t is fitting that he and they should
realize and recognize the sturdy Amer
icanism Of opponents in domestic poll
ties, who are ready to sacrifice every
thing, even to the immediate future OF
the national organizations they repre-
sent, in order that there shall be moth
ing done or successfully attempted to
shael1Ie the hands of an Administra-
ton charged with the conduct of war.
