The Constitution is more than generous
to VIM. j. Bryan this week. because ii
gives him credit of keeping he Democratic
lines solid in the Senate and House, and
dividing the Senate Republicans into two
contending fractions, and in alternating
fourteen Congressman from the Presidents
scheme of Cuban intervention. and all this
he accomplished in visit of a few hours
in Washington on invitation to address a
Jefferson day banquet. But the Constitutions
real object is not to exalt Mr.. Bryan, but
designed to hide, if possible, the revolt in
the Republican party against the battling,
vascillating policy which the President, at
the dictation of certain interests, has pur-
sued in his dealings with Spain. The
differences in both houses of Congress were
were such as are inseparable in a
government by the people, and at time
like the present only intellects too
small to be patriotic, would give them any
other significance. Time will tell in which
course was the greatest wisdom, but for
the present all Americans, except the
Constitution, are united in one patriotic
purpose.

1.-THE Ciear1eld Republican is a Democratic
newspaper, despite its name. 1t says; Comp
troller Eckles must certainly have known that
two years ago, as the books show it to have been
in an insolvent condition for several years. Yet
he allowed it TO keep on robbing the public be-
cause an exposure then would have hurt the
sound money cause.
Comptroller Eckles-as we recall it-said in q
public interview, shortly after the failure of the
bank in question, that the authorities at Wash
ington were aware two years before of the fact
that its condition was not sound. What the
reason for permitting it to go receiving depos-
itors money was we do not know, but we suspect
that the sacred cause of tariff reform had more
to do with that action than the cause Of sound
money But suppose il was either of these
reasons, or even bothsof them, and where is the
of John g. Carlisle, who was then Secretary of
the Treasury? AS the Inquirer understands this
question the law does not say that an insol-
vent bank shall be allowed to accept deposits to
promote sound money, tariff reform or any
other cause. 2"
Probably the most corrupt political
campaign ever conducted in this country
was that waged in the name of sound
money and which terminated in the cleo
ton of the sound money candidate. The
newspaper price to support the sound
money cause in New York City as stated
by the Herald was from $4,000 to $751;
600, but in Philadelphia, the price was
much greater in at least one instance

THE CALL FOR TROOPS
District Militia Forces May Be the
First Volunteers.

District Militia Forces May Be the
First Volunteers.
Washington, April 21.-The topic OF
absorbing interest in military circles
yesterday was the expected decision of
the president and Secretary Alger upon
the. question of how to place the vol
unteer forces at the service of the gov
eminent. No less than three consulta-
tions were held yesterday at the White
House on this subject, but it was
finally announced that it would not be
possible to issue the expected call for
volunteers until this afternoon. The
district militia forces have been Of
fered to the government by General
Harries, and there is some expectation
that these will be the first of the
militia forces to be drawn into the gov
eminent service. Other events of the
day at the war department were the
return to Washington and report OF
the artillery expert who inspected the
southern Notifications, and the ap-
pointment of some new aides on the
staff of General Miles. The ordnance
bureau also made another heavy requi-
sition for funds.
The present expectation is that Cen
eral Miles, commanding the army, will
leave the city on Saturday for a tour
of inspection of the points where the
regular army will be modified in the
south.
1t is said the war department is max
ing arrangements for purchasing an
additional number of machine rapid
fire guns in Europe.

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS SEVERED

Spanish Minister and His Suite Leave
the National Capital.
washington, April 21.-The Spanish
minister, accompanied by six members
of his staff, left Washington at 1880
o'clock last night, and the Spanish
government thus terminated its diplo-
matte representation in the United
States. The minister and his party
left by the Pennsylvania railroad, going
northward to Buffalo and Suspension
Bridge, and thence to Toronto. By
1O:40 o'clock this morning the Spanish
officials were on British soil. They
will stop for a day or two on the Can
adian side of Suspension Bridge, and
will then spend some days at Toronto.
From there they go to Halifax to take
an ocean liner. While the minister was
on this side of the border he had the
protection of the passports issued late
yesterday afternoon by the state de-
partment at his request following the
delivery of copy of the president
ultimatum to Spain.
The departure of the Spanish party
was made without noticeable demon
stration, and although considerable
number of secret officers and police
were on duty at the depot there was
at no time any occasion for their do
ing more than keeping back crowd
Of curious onlookers.
The Spanish minister spoke feelingly
of his departure. He said his request
for his passports had been made only
after the enactment of law which
attacked Spain's sovereignty, impugn-
ed her honor and insulted her,

1t is expected that the State of New Jer-
sey will shortly apply to the Federal
government for interest on the loans made
by the State to the government during the
civil war. New York State has, through
the courts, recovered interest on its loans
and Pennsylvania is now endeavoring to
recover interest.
In 1891 New Jersey was paid back the
money advanced to the national govern
ment, amounting to over $38000O. 1t is
not definitely decided as to just what
amount should be demanded from the
national government. The Quartermaster
Generals department is now looking up
the data, and when it is completed, it will
be turned over to Attorney General Grey,
who will take the necessary steps to re-
cover the money.

Mr.. Bryan has thrust his opinions on
the Cuban questions upon the attention OF
Congress, saying they should be followed
as against those of ex-President Cleveland,
Gen. Lee and President Mckinley. When
will this pestiferous fellow cease his bah
bling" Constitution.
We quote paragraph from Mr.. organs
speech at Scranton on Monday night last
as complete reply to the Constitution 5
petulent reference to the late Democratic
Presidential candidate, as follows:-
We are now in the shadow of pos
sibIe war, probable war. But, my friends,
we should calmly and patiently. consider
the question. We will all be united. We
should wait until the constituted author
titles act, and then, united. act with them.
Men may differ. The only question is the
best method TO be adopted to reach the
disease. We will all be one, not parties.
We must understand that there is suffering
in the United States as well as in Cuba,
and we should not be so farsighted as not
to see at home"
Webster defines the word pestiferons
thus: Noxious to peace, to morals, or to
society mischievous; destructive.
We refrain from making the application
to be drawn between the utterances of MI.
Bryan and those of editor Barber, but the
gentleman who bears false witness is
certainly mischieyous destroyer Of truth.
No such inference can be drawn from
Mr.. Bryan's words, they are patriotic,
loyal, and have the ring Of true American
ism,
