Speaking of the Bulletins attack up
on the city marshal because of his
nationality, the Zietung, after quoting
the paragraph, says:
Tine great gentleman who made the
above remarks is unknown TO us, but
the greater gentleman who published
these stupid. foolish remarks is the
great journalist of the little Bulletin.
Boldly and impudently he dares to slur
the honest German whom our worthy
German mayor had appointed city mar
shall by calling him a s'Dutchman.''
This great gentleman insults not only
the marshal, but the mayor who APP
pointed him, and all the German peo-
pie in our city. The remarks of the
gentleman quoted by the little Bulletin
appear the more obnoxious when we
consider that our marshal has always
done his duty, and that none of his
predecessors had done better. We hope
the Germans will remember this insult
and repay it,

TWO ANNIVERSARIES.

Wednesday. Ash Wednesday, was
the anniversary of the blowing up of
the Maine, one of the most dastardly
crimes of history. Retribution has
been swift ana certain. The hand of
Spain has been palsed; it has been re.
duced to one of the unimportant
nations of tile world. Looking back
ward we can but feel he w speedy was
the retribution and how complete the
vengeance.
Today is the anniversary of the first
howl that went up over the presidents
criminal delay in not sending a few
thousand troops to Cuba to capture
Hayana and picnic among the hills and
wales of conquered Cuba. We wonder
how many of these critics are celebrat-
ing the anniversary with pride and re
Joicing.
In little less than year will be the
anniversary of the attacks upon the
presidents Philippine policy, and we
are prone to believe that the 'santi-ex-
pansionists" will be about as proud of
their record then. as the kickers of a
year ago are today.

DISORDER IN LEGISLATURE.
Democrats Object to Speaker sher-
mans Observation-Disclosures House
Passes Students Bill.

Springfield, Ill.,, Feb. 16-The students
bill was read Thursday in the house of
representatives, and a roll-call was had on
IT. This resulted in it's passage by a vote OF
l39 to l. The senate had previously passed
the bill by vote of AZ to /, and it will be-
come law as soon as Gov. Tanner signs
it,
The bill provides that law students who
began study prior to the adoption of rule
81 by the supreme court and have studied
IN law offices two Years Shall be admitted
upon passing satisfactory examination,
and that the holders of diplomas from law
colleges showing an attendance of two
years beginning before November A. 1887,
shall be admitted on motion based upon
their diplomas.
Then occurred one of the most riotous
scenes that has been witnessed in the house
for years. A set of resolutions had been
prepared by the democratic minority pro-
testing against a previous action of the
legislature. Again and again Mr.. McGoor-
ty, the minority leader, attempted to intro
duce them as a question of personal priv
llege, but the speaker would not hear him.
With the set of resolutions waving above
his more than six feet of stature the mem
Der from Cook in three strides reached the
speakers platform.
Republicans rose en- masse and crowded
to the same spot of vantage. Democrats
followed suit. and in two seconds Speaker
Sherman was surrounded by an angry.
demonstrative host of democrats on one
side, while on the other stood a crowd of
determined republicans. led by Allen of

A DURABLE SIGN.
1t Was Used at Harper's Ferry Thirty
Years Ago and IL Still IN
Good Order.

Inquiries have been received by the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad concerning
the man who painted station sign at
Harper's Ferry. The Western Society
of Engineers has the sign now on exhi-
bition in its rooms in Chicago, says the
Baltimore American.
The engineers are using every effort
to ascertain who mixed the paint and
applied it to the sign, which was placed
in position at Harper's Ferry station
about so years ago.
The summer heat and winter storms
have in no way dimmed the luster of
the paint used to make the words 'Har-
per's Ferry" The words stand out as
boldly as the day they were formed by
the artists brush.
The wood around the letters has been
worn about one-sixteenth of an inch by
sand beating against it by fierce winds,
but the letters have withstood the ele-
ments.
il is claimed that no paint manufac-
tured nowadays is equal in durability to
that which was applied to the old sign,
and if the person who mixed it is living
and will take advantage of the secret
he possesses as to it's composition, it is
said he can, by engaging in the paint
manufacturing business, soon accumu-
late wealth.

HOLLAND HOUSE.
A London Establishment That 1,
Unique Among the Homes
of England.

Englishmen have no idea of society IN
the continental sense. Banquets. balls
and parties, public and private, have
always formed an accompaniment to
the parliamentary session; but the Sc
lect coteries which meet almost daily
in Paris-in the informal gatherings
termed Salons" where friendships are
cemented with that mixture of grave
and gay conversation in which our
mercurial neighbors excel-are foreign
to the English life, says the Pail Mall
Magazine. In it's records, as we'll as in
its surroundings, Holland house stands
out brilliant exception in this respect.
1t is unique among English homes,
standing as it does in it's own lovely
gardens, surrounded till lately by the
fields of Kensington, now in the middle
of a densely populated district and
within walk of the center of London.
1t has ceased for half century to be
country home and, though it has
changed hands repeatedly, its treasures
remain intact. Its architecture is char
acteristic; its portraits and busts recall
All tne noSt interesting PersonaSeS
who have lived there. Every room is
filled with rare objects and historical
relics; it has neither been robbed to
pay death duties nor spoiled by vandal
taste. 1t possesses, moreover, special
interest as the center round which re-
volved for nearly half century all that
was brightest and most intellectual in
an age of strength and great achieve
ments-those whose influence SO pro-
foundly affected the political events of
the day.

THE Mc.eNERY RESOLUTION.

The following from the press dis
patches shows the action of the senate
in regard to the future of the Philip
pine Islands:
Washington. Feb 1.-THE McEnery
resolution carried III the senate thus
afternoon by vote oil 26 20 %.
AT 2:35 a vote was taken 10y The sen-
ale Oh The Bacon amendment to the
McEnery resolution. The Bacon
amendment read:
THAT the United States hereby DIS
claim any dispOSitiOo or intention to
exercise permanent sovereignty, Jtlsls-
dlctiOn or control over the SAID islands.
and assert their determination that
when stable and independent govern
ment shall have been erected there and
entitled, in the Judgment of the United
States, to recognition as such, to trans-
fer to SAID government, upon terms
which shall be reasonable and just. all
rights secured under the cesslon by
Spain, and to thereupOn leave the gov
ernment and control OF the islands TO
their people
It was defeated, 90 to 90, the vice
president voting in the negative.
A vote was then taken on the Nc
L'Cly ICSOiuUtOit. WillCii 10 tto lOIN'NS.
THAT, by ratification OF the treaty
of peace with Spain it is not intended
to incorporate the inhabitants OF the
Philippine islands into citizenship OF
the United States, nor is it intended
permanently to annex the islands us an
integral part OF the territory of the
United States; but it is the intention
OF the United States to establish Oh
said islands a government suitable to
the wants aud conditions OF the inkah-
itants of the SAID islands, to prepare
them for local self-government and in
due time to make such disposition of
said islands as will best promote he in
terests of the citizens of the United
States and the inhabitants of said Isl
lands"
The resolution was passed by the vote
as given above.
BY these resolutions the bugbear of
Malay citizenship is or ought to be laid
to rest. The papers which have been
bowling for months about the danger
of having the half savage Fillpinos IS
citizens have been answered We are
glad that the resolutions do not declare
for any other definite plan of action.
Through the war with Spain "A great
responsibility has been placed upon us,
Il responsibility of which no one can
see the outcome. 1t would therefor be
the height of folly for us to declare in
advance perhaps ten, perhaps twenty.
perhaps one hundred years what our
policy will lie under circumstances of
which we know nothing. The present
work of the Americans in the Philip
pines is first to establish order and then
to begin the process of regeneration
and civilization.
Now that the treaty has been ratified
and we have a claim upon the islands
which would be acknowledged by any
of the great powers it is perfectly proper
for some declaration of intentions 10 be
made. The Philippine problem will
solve itself as time progresses and
those who seek to hamper the adminis
tration with all sorts of future .'boo
gie' men should turn their attention
to the things of the present and use
every effort to aid in surmounting
present difficulties.
