that she is guilty of other acts almost

change Compliments,
Yesterday would have been dull day
in the House but for a passage at words
between Mr.. Bailey and the Speaker, with
variations from Mr.. Dalzeu of PennsvI-
yania.
Immediately after the House convened
Mr.. Bailey was recognized on a question
of personal privilege and took the floor.
AT his request the clerk of the House
read an article from the Philadelphia
Press, in which an attempt was made to
fix responsibility for last Wednesdays
disorder upon Mr.. Bailey
The gentleman from Texas then said:
Il take occasion TO right myself and
| this side of the House before the eyes of
the country. The article Just read fixes
| responsibility for the scenes of last We'd
| nesday, primarily upon me and generally
upon our party.
Il want to say that if the responsible
ty Is upon the floor it rests upon the
gentleman who had charge OF the ma
jority resolution, (Mr. Adams), but the
floor is not responsible.
For the scenes enacted in the House
on that day responsibility rests upon the
Speaker of this body, and he must as
sumo it before the world"
Mr.. Bailey read from the record a
chronicle of the discussion and conten-
uons that proceeded the disorder and con-
| tinued: THE Speaker took advantage of
| his position to force his political oppo-
nents into a false light

1t is believed from the attitude of the
President yesterday that he has no hope
that Spain will back down. He has clung
to the idea that she would not dare to
go to war with this country, TO the last,
but he has now given it up entirely. The
Administration is now seeking to dis
cover how. much of a fight will satisfy
Spain 1t was a popular idea with Mr..
Mckinley at first that there would be on
ly perfunctory resistance 1t was said
that Spain might fire a few rounds at Ha-
Vana and make a slight demonstration
against the American coast to satisfy
the Spanish public and then give up.
Another favorite idea was that Spain
would even surrender when the Ameri-
can fleet arrived near enough to Moro
Castle to see white flag.
1t is realized very thoroughly, however,
that the real intention of Spain may be
very different from either of these simple
and inexpensive limitations Of war Spain
has made very thorough preparations
for war and they may have been in earn

ORIGIN OF JlNoo.
Sow ut Came to Apply to Advocates Os

The origir. of the word lingo is In
teresting o. this time, when one is con-
fronted With it SO often. At the time Of
the close Of the Russo-Turkish war,
which, as all readers Of history know.
terminated SO disastrously for the Turks
and caused feeling Of apprehension IN
England that the Russians were hent
on taking Constantinople and the ulti-
mate dismemberInen Of the Turkish EN-
pire, change which could not be toler-
nted, the public feeling found expression
in England upon the stage ii panto-
mines and in the music halls by numer-
Gus patriotic songs. One of these is as
follows:
The dogs of war are loose and the rugged
Full bent on blood and robbery, has crswled
out of his lair.
It seems thrashing now and then Will never
help to tame
That brute, and so he's out upon the same
old game.
To crawl back TO his den again-aN efforts
were no use.
He hungered for his victim. he's pleased when
blood is she'd,
But let US hope his sin may all rccoil on hia
own head.
CHORUS.
We don't want TO fight; but, BY lingo, II do,
We've got the men, we've got the ships,
we've got the money too.
We fought the bear before and while we're
Britons true,
The Russians shall not havo Constantinople.
The song became most popular and
was heard on every street corner from
every organ grinder and was whistled
by every bootblack. Shortly after this
the election campaign began In which
Gladstone, the head Of the Liberals, at
tackled the Tory party, then led by the
Earl Of Beaconsfeld, who was in pow
err. The Tory foreign policy wes ridi-
culed, and they were stigmatized by the
Liberals as the party of bloodshed,
glory and jingo."
From the time Of this election cam
paign, which resulted in the defeat Of
the Tories and the accession of the
"peace party, Gladstone's 1880 admin
istration, the word Lingo" has been
used to denote an individual or section
of a party ready to rush, without ma
ture consideration, into all the horrors
