Washington, June 4.-After the transac-
ton of brief routine business the senate
this morning resumed consideration Of the
war revenue measure.
AS no amendment was pending, Mr.. ALI
the committee of the whole to the senate
The suggestion developed several amend
important amendment demanded a call OF
the senate. After a delay Of Is minutes a
quorum was secured.
Mr.. Morgan Dem., Ala.) then took the
floor and offered the amendment of which

OF the treasury should refuse to levy the

ttary OF the treasury to compel him to per
form the duties, and If the attorney genera
payer of the United States may bring The
necessary action to compel the enforcement
of the law.
Mr.. Morgan said that full opportunity
was presented by his amendment to have
the question which it involves settled by
the supreme court, FOR, quite naturally,
Gil iitalANC diClloll ltkeI ny congress on the
subject would reegate the entire subject

Congress could scarcely refuse, he
thought, to provide for another test Of the
income tax question in view of the fact
that it was forced to increase taxation ard
borrow money to prosecute the present war

Morgan asked for a yea and nay vote upon
his amendment. The amendment was re-

A POINTER
The Occupation of Manila by
the American Forces Un-
der Admiral Dewey

Has caused an enormous advance in
the prices of the various hemps from
which rope and Irvine are made, as the
majority Of the worlds supply is grown
in the Philippine Islands. Consequently
there is every indication that the prices
OF binder Irvine will greatly advance be-
fore long.
large dealer of this city recently
told us that 20 cent Irvine before the
seasons end would not at all surprise
him, and in view of this we would ad-
wise our farmer friends to lay in sup
ply at once. Money saved is money
made.

A GOOD MAN.

The name of Hon. E. J. Moore, of
Becker county, will be presented in the
state convention for the Office of state
auditor. The Representative has no
desire to dictate to the convention; and
could not if it would, but we cannot re
frain from reminding the delegates that
Mr.. Moore was the chairman of the leg
1slative committee which made such a
splendid investigation, some years ago,
of the robberies Of the elevator ring. He
is plain farmer, with lots of good sense
and would, if elected, make a first-class
state auditor. ID.

intermarried until they were all prac-
tically one family
In q generations each person has a

We had no intention in what we said.
In our speech on the 18th of May, to
derogate from the dignity or greatness
OF the grand Milesian race, which con-
quered and colonized Ireland, 1,4OO
years before the birth Of Christ. We
are proud to be descended from it. WS
can trace our lineage, by an unbrokef
line OF descent for $500 years, from
father to son, down to the present day.
The clan "Donnelly." or "Dounghailie."
as 1t was anciently spelled, was derived
from "Donnghal, quo O'Donnelly,"
who was the 18th in descent from Mall
of the Nine Hostages, Monarchs of Ire
land. slain A. D. 4O6. The head of oy
sept was hereditary marshall OF a
Neilrs forces; and, in the time of Quees
Elizabeth, 1900 gentlemen of the name
of Donnelly' were more depended upon

family.
We belong to that grand fighting
race" that battled their way from
| Egypt to Spain, and from Spain to Ire
| land; and have since furnished the
blood and bone of the armies of Eng
land, France and the United States.
| But nevertheless we are philosopher
| enough to recognize the value Of the
accession Of qualities from the blue-eyed
Northmen-the Vikings-who have
given size and sinew. persistence and
endurance the fiery Mediterranean
race; and made it the greatest breed of
warriors and even pugilists, in the
world.
These are questions full of the pro-
foundest interest and significance.
If we have ourself shown any courage
in standing alone politically and bat
ting for what we believed to be right.
it is due to ancestral traits, derived from
long line Of warriors, who were at all
times ready to die for their convictions.
We may return to a discussion of
these questions hereafter; although
with much that is said by the editor Of
the Irish Standard we cordially agree.

THE WORLD MOVES.

The Organ of the Free Silver Republic
cans of st. Paul Casts Its Fortunes
With the Peoples Party.
We have good news for our readers,
We told last week how the Free-Sil-
yer Republicans of Ramsey county Est.
Paul., were discussing the propriety of
joining the Peoples party. They were
disguised with the course of the Demo-
Gratis of that city in forcing gcld-bug
Democrat to the front, for mayor, in
the recent campaign, a man who two
years ago voted for Mckinley for pres
ident.
We now chronicle the coming over Of
the st. Paul Herald, the organ Of the
Free-Silver Republicans.
This is an important accession, and
will be welcomed by the Populists wits
open arms; and the men who thus trust
themselves to our generosity will be
placed in high seats in the synagogue.
This is the right kind of fusion; not
bargain between hostiles, but the
locking of friends in each others arms.

The Herald is an able paper, we'll ed

great battle.

At midnight every night at F1eis1-
mans bakery in New York city, bread is
given to those who apply. 1t is hardly
probable that a man who has no par
ticular need of bread will take the
trouble to go to this place at midnight,
get in line and secure half loaf for
his trouble. Yet, notwithstanding the
booming times, there are over 300 men
who nightly take advantage OF this
meagre charity. It's a fine system
which starves a man all day and forces
him to stay up half the night In order
to secure a small piece Of bread.

An EASY VICTORY
For the Americans Looked for in the
First Fight in the Pacific.

London, April 2S.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
United States Consul General Will
Jams, after spending the evening
ashore with Consul Wildman, accom-
panied the American squadron. Thirty
insurgent leaders here wanted to ac-
company it, but Chief Aguinaldo goes
as their representative. He will take
charge of the insurgent forces at
Manila. Admiral Dewey has issued
strict orders that no barbarous or in
human acts are to be perpetrated by
the insurgents.
The primary object is the capture of
the Spanish fleet, which Admiral
Dewey thinks more important than
capturing Manila. He is determined to
prevent its preying upon American
vessels. On reaching Manila he will
demand its equalization within half
an hour of his arrival His men are
in the best spirits and excellent health
There have been nine assertions,
including six Cinnamon, one Italian
and one German during the fleets stay
at Hong Kong Every preparation has
been made The ships are cleaned
and painted for battle and the general
opinion is that the fight in these waters
will result in an easy victory for
America Her ships carry 122 guns as
