DIDN'T MUSTER ENOUGH VOTES.
rhe House of Representatives Fails
to- Adopt the Resolution Providing
for an Anti-Trust Amendment to the
fnnSrifuIian.

Washington. June 2.-The house
yesterday, after lively debate eN-
tending over two days, defeated the
Joint resolution proposing conStitu-
tional amendment empowering con
gress to regulate trusts. 1t requires
a two-thirds vote under the constitu-
ton to adopt an amendment to the
constitution.
The vote stood ayes 154, nays 1@1.
The affirmative vote, therefore, was
IS short of the requisite two-thirds,
1872. Five democrats-Mess's g. Camp
bell, of Montana; Naphan, OF Nassa-
rhusetts; Scudder, of New York; Slb-
ley, of Pennsylvania, and Ihayer, of
Massac one silverite, Mr..
Newlands, of Nevada, voted with the
republicans for the resolutions, and
two republcans-Mr Loud, of Cali
fornia, ana Mr.. Mccall, of Massachu-
sctts, with the democrats against it.
These were the only breaks from
party lines. The pOpuliStS voted sol
idly against the resolution. The de
bate preceding the vote had a strong
political flavor throughout and was
tt times very personal. The features
were the closing speeches of Mr.. De
Almond. Of Missouri, and Mr.. Little
field. of Maine, for the respective
sides and the short speeches of Mr..
MCCALL Of Massachusetts, against the
resolution. Mr.. Mccall distinguished

THE PRINCIPAL ISSUE.


The democratic convention was right
and wise in declaring that .sthe burning
issue Of imperialism is "the para
mount issue of the campaign
It is the way of the American people
to settle one issue at a time. In the
war of 1861 the one object OF the north
was to save the union. Every thing else,
as Lincoln SO often said, was side Isl
sue. In 1898 the one object of the ma
tion in going to war with Spain was
to free Cuba. Other consequences were
not considered.
In all our presidential elections one
issue has been ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ing. In 1860 it was to stop the extern
sion of slavery into the territories. In
1864 it was to sustain the government
in prosecuting the war. In 1868 it was
to tspreserve the fruits of the war;" In
1876 it was reform-the battle cry of
Tilden. In 1884 the election turned
mainly upon the political character of
James G. Blaine. In 1892 the dominant
issue was the odious Mckinley tariff.
In 1896 it was, of course, free silver at
Is to I.
This year, as the Kansas City plat
form truly declares, 'sthe paramount is
sue" is sthe burning issue of imperial
ism, involving the very existence of the
republic and the destruction of our free
institutions" Surely nothing can be

A Republican subterfuge.

The managers of Mr.. McKinley's can.
vass for a second term apparently are
planning "a business scare" as the
most convenient means to the end
which they have in view. For the pur-
pose of forcing large contributions to
the campaign fund in the first instance
and Of stampeding the voters ultimate
ly they seem to be striving to excite
the public mind anew on the silver
question. There is manifest DISPOSE
tion among them to divert political
discussion from the concrete problems
of the hour to what is at present an
idle and untimely abstraction. In
other words they are doing their Mt
most to make the country believe that
the free coinage of silver is involved

THE GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Getting Back to the Only Party That
Relieves from Ex-
tortion.

The Palmer and Buckner democrats
of Mclean county, H., formally an
nounce that they are now supporting
Bryan and Stevenson.
They have issued statement in
which they declare that their views on
the silver question, which was the Lead
ing issue in 1896, have undergone no
{ change.
But in their judgment this issue has,
for the time being at least, given place
in Importance to two others, which
have been forced upon the country by
the republican party and which now, in
their belief, threaten our basic nation
al principles and organic national
ife." They state these issues as fol-
lows:
i. "Un-American colonization, dis
ruptive not only of our national integ-
rity and morals, but also of our ma
tionalpeace, prosperity and perpetuity.
2. "The fostering of trusts and of un-
just and fragrant private monopoly"
The colonization to which the Nc
Lean county democrats object is in
deed un-American. Properly speaking,
it is not colonization at all, which
means the sending forth of people from
a parent country to occupy the wilder
ness and plant there the laws, the insti-
tutions, the civilization of that coiln-
try.

That sort of thing unquestionably is

tegrity AMI morals, but also of our ma

AS to the trust issue there can be no
mistake. The republican party is re-
sponsible for the Dingley tariff, in the
absence of which nine-tenths of the
trusts would be harmless.
The trusts recognize the republican
party as their party. They go to it for
such legislation, including the Porto
Rican law, as will help fatten their
bank accounts. They multiply and
wax defiant of law when that party is
in power.

man sitting next to him, relates the
Chicago Tribune, and said:
II wish you would take your arm

like it,

But he let it stay.
The train reeled of two or three
blocks.
will you take that arm away ?''
SO, yes
But he did not take it away.
And the train ree1ed OFF two or
three more blocks.
Il have asked you to take your arm
away. Are you going to do it?"
ssWhy, certainly"
Yet he let 1t remain.
Then that man with the smooth
face and light hat rose to his sset
and smote that other man grievously
on the left cheek. insomuch that it
began to swell
Whereupon that arm was removed
expeditiousiy.
There was some excitement in the
car, but the passenger who had done
the shifting was calm.
This may have been because the pas
senger he had struck was somewhat
smaller.
But let that pass.
AS he left the car at Forty-third
street he remarked:
Il don't think you win do that
again
1t youlf give me your name and
address" answered he of the swelling
cheek, calling after him-he was fight

In the excitement of the occasion a
young man on the other side OF 1ha
aisle had thrown his protecting arm
around blonde maiden and was stiIl
zealously shielding her from all pos
sible danger
What did he hit him for?" she
asked
Because replied the young man,
"that fellow had his arm around him
and wouldn't remove it,
Wasn't that a little thing she
whispered, for him to get angry
about?"
And the train proceeded to reel Off
a few more blocks.
