SIBLEY'S SCREED


HARRISBURG. Pa, Feb. 16.-Con-
gresham Joe S!bles's letter 10 the
Democracy OF Pennsylvania. setting
forth his reasons for coming to Harris
burg at this time and explaining his
propositions to the Democratic member
ship Of the house and senate, was made
public to-day
After rehearsing the willingness OF
the Democracy to cooperate in organ
izlng the house Tor real reform and tell
ing OF the desperate defeat OF the plan,
Mr. Sibley says:
We have presented candidate OF
dignity. characte' and capacity. In 4
contest lasting more than 4 month, lie
has not received the support of one in
dependent. Must We not, therefore. draw
the conclusion Il not the inference
plain 10, the public. that failure to az
ford such support indicates that their
desire Is more In the line OF promotion
OF selfish ambition and factlonai tri-
umph than in the Interests OF pure gov
ernment and higher legislative stand
ards?"
He suggests tn. advisabil!ty OF sug-
gestlnS another Democratic candidate
instead of jerks, TO test the sincerity
OF the Independents.
Mr.. Slbley then takes up the ir;ima-
ton that he was induced 10 come 10
Harrisburg by QuaSites and tells that
his first invitation was from Colonel
Guffey, in Pittsburgh. and arranging TO
carry OUT 4 plan which he says Is idcn-
tiCally the one outlined. but that when
he came 10 Harrisburg. Colonel Guifey
had for some reason changed his views
Mr.. Slb!ey tells OF 4 meeting IN New
York with those speaking professedly
for the so-called reform element OF the
Republican party"
This was shortly after the November
election. He says these people wanted
the Democratic members 20 agree 10
sign I paper TO line up fo: reform. but
he says the Independents refused 10
agree 10 sign 4 paper pledsing them to
sand by the same programme. With
this story as a basis. Mr.. S!bley says
that Mr.. Martin deliberately broke the
pledge Of gentleman and upset the
plan to cooperate in the house organI-
cation.
Mr. Sibley then suggeststhat thSind
penJents be allowed 20 pick the Demo-
cratic candidate. and concludes:
IL they refuse 10 do SO. and the re-
suit should be the reelection or Se3a-
ip' quay tAe EeSponSlblIltS Tor that
election must lie at their own door and
they at the preseht moment stand In
:he attitude of prOc!uIminS that the
worst Republican in the state is more
desirable than the highest and trues,
type OF Democrat"
Mr.. SIbleY boldly charges that the
Democrats are sacrificing all opportu-
mites by their facile obedience 10 Finn
and points out that men who are call
ed Democrats are found working, NOT
for Democratic success. but for the
benefit OF some Republicans who are
holding daily conference with Demo-
Gratis and attempting 10 dictate and
shnpe the pOl.Cy OF Democracy"

Bill Bobs up Again.

Bill Bobs up Again.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-two very
sensational AMI unexpected things hap.
pened in the house to-day during the
consideration OF the sundry civil bill.
The paragraph carrying the appro-
pr!aticn of $e0.O0O.eOo for payment to
Spain under the terms OF the peace
treaty was stricken out upon point of
order made by Mr.. Wheeler, Il Kentucky
Democrat. who declared that he op-
posed the appropriation on principle
and would resort to any technicalIty to
defeat II. The polnl Of order was de-
bated for hours, It's determination
hingng upon the question OF whether
the ra atiication of the treaty by the SEN
ate, and its signing by the President
vitalized 1t without the action Of tn.
Spanish cortes. Waryan. OF Inv was
necessary TO make the appropriation in
order.
Mr.. Hopkins. Rep Ins.) who was in
the chair. sustained the point Of order
against II, and upon an appeal his de-
cislon was sustained, ii9 TO Sc. Mr..
Cannon then attempted TO have the ap-
preparation inserted by unanimous con-
sent but Mr.. Wheeler again objected.
y strong intimat!on was given by IIr.
Cannon that n way would be found
within the rules to make the appropria-
tlon before the adjournment OF Con-
gress. He referred undoubtedly TO the
probability that the approximation
would be placed on the bill by the SEN
ate
After the sundry civil bill had been
completed and reported to the house,
Mr.. Hepburn, Of Iowa. the champion of
the Nicaragua canal bill. moved TO re-
commit 1t with Instructions TO report II
back with the canal bill Incorporated in
It, This was an unexpected move ms
1t was generally understood that Mr..
Hepburn had abandoned all hope after
his defeat yesterday. But he believed
that his motion would have additional
strength In the house. where members
could be put upon record. The motion
was promptly declared out OF order by
the speaker. whercupOn Mr.. Hepburn
appealed and Mr.. Payne, OF New York.
moved 10 lay the appeal on the table
Upon the latter motion the vote WAS
taken and the result was 81 ayes to ca
noes. AS no quorum was developed on
the vote. owing TO the lateness of the
hour. they managed to carry an nd
journment until tomorrow. This gives
them breathing spell in which TO mar
shaf their forces for the final encounter
ana Tomorrow as soon as the house
meets the vote will again be taken.

been overrun with bands of marauders
known as "Sandhillers," and, there being
no safe objective for the fugitives, to land
