H0USE-
The House resumed consideration OF
the sundry civil bill to-day Immediately
after the reading of the journal.
MR.. BAILEY IN RICHMOND.

Hon. Joseph W. Bailey, Congressman
from Texas, spoke in Richmond yes
terday evening at the Academy OF
Music. Mr.. Bailey came at the invita-
ton of the General Assembly. His
visit is looked npon as the opening gun
of his campaign for the Speakersbip OF
the House of Representatives should
the democrats this year secure control
OF that body. The Texas Congressman
spoke in Richmond in the last presi
Dental campaign, when he met well
known Richmond gold man in joint
debate. The fame he gained in that
contest, as we'll as his we'll known repu-
tation ss an orator, attracted crowded
house. Admission to the best parts Of
the house was by tickets, but for this
the house would not have begun to
hold the crowd. The meeting was 8
fine one, composed largely of represen-
tative men of Richmond, members Of
the General Assembly and consider
able number of ladies.
Speaker Ryan, of the House, presid-
GU, duu NV bdiIcy was IheiOuuO0u W
State Senator Flood, of Appomattox.
The stage was crowded with we'll
known business aud professional men.
Mr.. Bailey's speech was devoted chiefly
to the discussion OF the currency ques-
ton. Before, however, proceeding
with this branch of his subject, the
speaker stopped to cordially defend the
government by injunction plank of the
Chicago convention. He denied, as he
has so often done before, that the dem
ocratic platform criticises the Supreme
Court as severely, even by implication,
as did some of the most conspicuous
statesmen in this country the same tri-
bunal. "If," continued Mr.. Bailey,
these people continue to apply the
epithet OF anarchists to the advocates
OF the Chicago platform, that word
will become respectable" He declared
that Bryan would again be nominated
in 1900, and that, too, on the Chicago
platform.
The Congressman then proceeded to
discuss the currency question. His
speech, which lasted two and half
hours, was we'll received and often re-
terrupted by hearty applause.

SENATOR PROCTOR has gone to Hs-
vana because, as be says, be likes to be
where there is excitement. Why Mr..
Proctor should leave the "cave of the
winds" where the strident war cries Of
Senators Mason and Allen continually
rend the air, to seek excitement in the
quiet streets of Havana, is what only
can be told by one who, when in
charge of the War Department, refused
to half-mast the flag there at the death
of the man who created that depart.

The efficient and expert Spanish divers
have examined the hull of the Maine
and reported to their government that
the vessel was not blown up from the
outside. The inexpert. timorous and
inefficient American divers have not
yet taken look at the hull, but have
spent their time in hunting for money,
clothing, jewelry and letters. In the
mean time the yellow journalists and
jingoes in this country have evolved
from their inner consciousness the
indisputable fact that the treacnerous
Spanish government blew her up with
mine or torpedo.

Mr.. BRYAN says there is nothing TO
Justify the present war excitement, and
nothing that gave occasion for it, and
that while the people of the country
can always be relied upon to rally to its
support, they should know they are
right before they go ahead. Some OF
those who denounced him as an anar.
chist, as an excuse for deserving their
party, are now doing all they can to
involve the country in war that would
be more disastrous to it than the COM
bined efforts Of all the anarchists in the
world.

CONGRESSMAN BAILEY of Texas, IN
his address to the Virginia legislature
yesterday, voiced the feelings of all
good and true democrats, when he said;
"For those who turned their backs
on the nominees selected at Chicago.
and who scoffed at the majority as an
archists, have no soft phrases. They
should go where they belong-in the
republican ranks, for they have never
been democrats, save in name"

Nor satisfied with fighting Spain
some of the jingoes now want to 60 to
war with Great Britain, because her
police force in British America has
hoisted her flag over some of her ter
ritory which the ill-informed and pre-
sumptuous Americans there claim to
belong to this country. If thousands OF
iunncent Americans would not be the
necessary sufferers by war, some COM
fort might be derived from one by the
revelation it would make of the exact
number of real fighters among those
who are crying for blood, but who, it
is strongly suspected, would sniff 1t
