Two members were in the lobby on the
Republican side of the House yesterday
chatting over general topics. One of them
finally said to the other:
Mckinley planted a tree today
"Is that so? L am glad he has revived
the old custom. How do you know ths?"
'He told me so when 1 called on him. -
replied the first speaker
"Ah. yes; did he at the same time tell
you when he would plant an American
flag over Moro Castle?"
ooh. Lord, no. He knows my children
are too old to see that day"
Hum, Have smoke" And in silence
they smoked.

CAPITOL GOSSIP.

There was a good deal of amused spec
,ulation- the other day when a policeman
appeared on the House side making dill
gent inquiry for ex-Congressman josiah
Patterson, of Tennessee, who has been
contesing the seat of Representative Car
mack. 1t finally developed that Mr.. Pat
terson had dropped an annual pass over
one of the railroads, and ii had

Senator Proctor's important speech on
Cuba Thursday Had a narrow escape from
being omitted from the Record yesterday
morning. About midnight it was discov-
cred that there werei two sheets, of copy
| missing and a hurried messenger was sent
to the house of the official reporter of the
Senate. A cab hastily summoned, a rush
for the Capitol, a search of the report
er's room. a forced entrance into Senator
Proctor'S committee room by means of
the keys in the office of the captain of
police and an investigation of that room
brought to light the missing sheets. 1t
was a close call, but the speech appeared
| in the Record
Never in the history of the Senate has
a piece of copy been lost by the reporters.
| and no man can count the number of
| sheets that have passed through their

| Gus speeches for revision. Toward even
| ing former employe of the official staff
of the Senate was passing through Frank
! lin Square, when he saw two large sheets
| of paper on the walk. Picking it up, he
| recognized the marks of the reporters
| and knew at once that it was portion of
! a speech that had not yet reached the
| Government Printing Office. 1t was re-
| turned to the office and Mr.. Calls speech
was printed without delay the next morn

The Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce yesterday heard Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Knapp. in favor
of the bill proposed by Mr.. Cullom, max
ing general amendments to the existing
law for the purpose of meeting the objec
tons that have been found in the law by
recent decisions of the Supreme Court.
The proposed bill he said, was intended
to provide new machinery by which the
principles involved in the original law
might be made effective. and If this was
not done he contepded that the power
supposed to be conferred upon the com
missioners might as well be taken away
altogether.

1t was quite to be expected that we
should hear that American relief supplies
sent out from the seaports of Cuba some
miles into the interior should be i'm
pounded for the benefit of the Spanish
soldiers. They are hungry enough, no
doubt, poor devils, but at least Spain
ought to feed her own troops, while we
are trying to save the lives of victims
of her hideous inhumanity.

Mr. Maxwell of Nebraska yesterday was
the innocent cause of much testing in the
House. He introduced a bill to prevent

generosity that Senator Hanna had given
the country Mr.. MaXwell's bill would
never come from the committee room.

out Of the blowing up of the Maine that
a country member visited the Capitol and

This convention pledges its nominee for Gov
hs will carry into effect the sixth sec
ton OF Article 10 Of the State Con-
ttitution which provides that the Leg
isIature shall provide special tax which
shall not exceed two mills on the dollar
OF all taxable property in the State in addition
TO the other means provided for the SUPP ort
and maintenance Of the State University and
common schools. This convention recon-
mends all county conventions of the Silver
party to pledge their nominees for the State

stitution by passing bill levying O tax of one
mill on the dollar OF all taxable property in this
State in addition to the other means now pro-
vided by law for the support and maintenance

Department for the lat year Immediately, pre-
ceding Silver Parry control amounted to
over 49,, 500, while but 500, SO were the expen-
ses Of the Executive Department for 1897. For
the last four years of Republican management
$1,000 were expended in public buildings as
against $87 Coz by the Silver Party. And dur
Ing the periods in comparison, in support of the
public schools Of the State, the Silver Party
exp. nded 1877, 900 against SEC SOD by the Re-
publ an party. No one can examine the fore
going and many other facts and figures which
might be adduced, without the resulting con
viction that the Silver Party has fulfilled its
promise of retrenchment with reference to sal
aries OF State officials and tho curtailment of
unnecessary expenses, while, on the other
Eand, it has generously fostered the educa-
tional and charitable institutions Of the State
and wisely contributed to its public improve
