A GREAT SCHEME.
Here's a New Wrinkle In the Art of
Getting Votes.

One of the men who will enter the next
congress as a member OF the house makes
this honest confession:
You know that my district is too close
for comfort. One evening | had big
meeting in a locality where it was a toss
up which party would win out at the
polls. ! had not lived all my years In the
district, but | challenged any man within
the hearing of my voice to put his finger
on a single act Of mine that so much az
suggested want OF honesty or manliness.
"a weazened little old chap arose in the
back of the hall and in a shrill, nasal
voice read what purported TO be clip
ping from western newspaper, the date
being in the early seventies. In it l was
charged with getting all my poultry from
a neighbours chicken coop, with being q
Sunday school superintendent as blind
and with decampng between two days
with $1,000 Of my partners money.
"rhe audience looked black and NUT
tered ominously. / dramatically called
for the clipping, and it was brought TO me
by a young man in the audience while l
was denying the accusations in burning
language and branding them as the con-
temptible products OF desperate opposi-
ton,
Il read the article aloud and then asked
for few hours in which to refute it by
Geographic evidence. Suddenly l braced
up, tried the paper between my nm
ger and thumb, held it between me and
the light and jubilantly exclaimed: Gen
tlemen, | know something about paper,
as I'm interested in a factory. This Is
made from wood fber and there were no
wood 6ber mills 80 years ago.
Then | scorched and roasted with
mighty indignation until had the crowd
In frenzy and il rushed forth to wreak
vengeance on my traducer after unan-
imous vote to support me. II was

er house, but failed to fnd their victim"

Apparently Senator Frye has reconsid-
cred his intention to oppose the ship sdhei-
dy bill to the appropriation bills.
for the District of Columbia bill was
taken up In the Senate on Monday with
out protest on his part, the subsidy bill
being laid aside in Its favor. The signifi-
cation of this probably Is that the Sena-
tor has virtually abandoned hope OF
passing the bill at this session. A while
ago it looked as II it might be got through
at this session, inasmuch as the Demo-
Gratis were showing an inclination to con-
tent themselves with protest against
the bill. But II that ever was their in
tentlon they have changed their minds,
and now are determined TO resort to all
the arts for holding up a measure. What
these arts are is well enough known.
prominent OF them, ana constant at
tempts to substitute other bills is anoth-
or. With but three weeks rsnaln-
ing OF the session thess arts are eiiica
cious enough to sfsat vote on any bill
which they are employed against,
especially when as In the present
cass there are twenty-six men
to use them. Knowing this,
Senator Frye has probably concluded that
the only effeeot of opposing the subsidy
bill to the appropriation bills would
be to defeat the latter without materially
hslpinR the former, Though all the open
opposition to the subsidy bill is fur
xtshaJ hv rha nax,,onrutc 3e ta xwaII knorvn
that number OF the abisst Repu ublisans
in the Senate are lukewarm toward it,
and will do nothing to help IL along even
II they refrain from doing anything to re-
tard Ii. Such men as Spooner, Perkins
Aldrloh ana Allison have severely ortiz
cised some OF the features of the measure.
and one OF them, Senator Perkins, has
declared that he will not vote for It unless
1t is modified. The general complaint
OF these Senators is that the bill helps the
big navigation companies altogether too
much, and small concerns and individ-
uals altogether too little. Uf course this
attitude OF these influential Repu blicans
only increases the hopelessness of trying
to get the bill through this senate. An.
other consideration which may be having
some infiuense toward postponement OF
the bill arises out of the general belief
that an extra session Will be called. An
extra session will not be liuited in
length, and 1t Will be possible, therefore
to press the bill to a vote, in spite OF
hlibusterlng on the part OF the opposi
tion. The subsidy bill can be taken up
then, and brought to vote, with cam
paratively little resistance on the part of
its opponents, since they would recoy-
nIze that all that resistADce could do
would be to delay action. Very likely
the knowledge that the friends OF the
bill Will have a chance, and a better one,
Within few weeks, is reconoiling them
to the sidetraoking OF the measure at
this session, and making them less insis-
tsnt in pressing 1t than they otherwise
would be.

The Cuban convention is not adopting
the constitution as it came from the CON-
mite without some changes. Ihe pro-
vision for choosing president by popn-
lar vote has been amended SO as to pro-
vide for an electoral system, modelled
CLOSELY on ours Another provision seems
likely to be changed. As reported from
the COMMITTEES the constitution provided
that an alien might be eligible to the
presidency provided he had served ten
years in the revolutionary army. This
provision was put in for the benefit OF
Genearl Gomez, who was born in Santo
Domingo. But 1t has encountered strong
opposition la the convention, and the
prospect is that there will be tie on 1t
with the casting vote in the hands OF the
President. AS the President is hostile
Gomez the probability is that this
provision viii be taken out and only ma
tives allowed to become presidents of the
republic.
