During The comparatively brief
time the senate was in session Thurs
day NJ. Morgan OF Alabama presented
the conference report on the iSthmian
canal b;;l. tie house cOnterees accept
ing the senate substitute. On motion
VI Tie -iiAua:la Senator, the report
~;is agreed to without CON r,ent.
The general deficiency bill. the last
ot the bic Sunnlv measures, was passed
rri:i;.a!ly without Gcbatc. \ slight
p.vtcs: H;,; !iaae against TIC appro-
or:ltiJn # 500. 900 for the Buffalo ex-
position ana $3.50. 900 for the Charles

cluded in the bill The measure also
carries S45, go tor The payment of the
expenses OF the last illness and death
of President Mckinley, that amount
including the pay Of The physicians.
When the appropriations of $1,000
for the Buffalo exposition and S160,000
for the Charleston exposition were
reached Mr.. Bailey of Texas protest
ed. He insisted that if congress
should meet the present demands it
would be called upon to meet a still
larger deficit in the ST. Louis eXposi-
ton He thought it was a gross mis-
application Of public money.
Other senators. Mr. Hale, Mr..
Spooner and 3Tr. Teller, while they
sympathized with Mr.. Bailcy's views,
thought that the calamity which had
befallen the people in Buffalo in the
assassination Of President Mckinley
had much to do with the deficiency,
and should be taken into considera-
tiOn.
Mr. Hale believed the example of
these cities would be means of stop
ping the mad rush of cities for exposi-
tions. He hoped that not again in
generation would the government ex-
tend financial aid to exposition enter
prises.
With the understanding that the
present appropriations were not to be
considered as a precedent. Mr. Bailey
withdrew his objection and the amend
mentS were agreed to.
By vote Of Is to 80 the senate, on
motion of Mr.. Money of Mississippi de-
clined to consider the bill to revive
and amend the act which provides for
the payment of cotton seized by the
Union forces during the Civil war.

DOES TOBACCO DIsINFECT?
The Pros and Cons OF the Question
Considered.

Despite the fact that the gen era
public are continually being warned
of the evil effects which will asSuredly
follow indulgence in soothing weed,
smoaking continues in much the same
manner as usual. There can be no
doubt that smoking to excess, or fol-
lowing the habit when young, is hurt
full to the health, and to some people
a positive danger The wisest way is
to steer middle course.
There are, too, enthusiasts with re-
gard to tobacco, and who attribute to
the weed all the virtues under the
sun. These eulogies, of course, are
as much in error as those who deny it
any saving grace.
i discussion was raised in an English
lay paper Of a recent date as to the
merits of tobacco as diSinfectant,
and much interesting matter was
brought forward. The Lancet was
called to give, so to speak, expert opin-
ion, and further information on the
matter was forthcoming.
The belief that tobacco possesses eX-
traordinary properties in warding off
certain diseases of contagious nature
is almost as old as the introduction Of
smoking into Europe. During the
great plague tobacco was largely used
for this purpose, and children were en-
couraged to smoak as a precautionary
measure.
In 1885, says the Lancet, DIR.
Haul TaSSinari Of Pisa subjected the
germs Of various deadly diseaSeS-Such
as anthrax, cholera, and typhus fever
to the action OF dense clouds Of i'm.
prisoned tobacco smoke, during periods
of 100 to $50 hours, and he came to
the conclusion that in most cases, and
especially when large cigars had been
employed as generators, the develop
ment Of pathogenic bacteria was
either partially or wholly arrested"
This experiment, however. by means
proves the case, for, as The Lancet
says. no one keeps q cigar in his mouth
for 100 hours at time. WOrkmen in
tobacco factories are often pointed to
as examples of the disinfecting prop
critics Of tobacco. It is declared that
they are immune from epidemics. On
the authority OF some experiments
conducted in France, it would appear
that there are some fairly good
grounds for this belief, but the inves-
LEGATIONS have not been carried out to
a sufficiently wide extent to justify
the passing of any authoritative opin-
ion.
The matter is as yet Subjudice, anl
will probably remain SO for an indeti-
mite period. Strong tobacco will keep
away insects. and certain mild species
OF mosquito, but that it will render a
person immune to contagion is a the.
ory that will not commend itself to
the common sense Of sane man.

THE Republican slogan for the COM
ing campaign is: Keep on letting well
enough alone" This will be an
interesting campaign cry for the peo-
pie who are unable to obtain meat as
food because of the eXactionS of the
trusts. 1t will also be an interesting
cry for the consumers generally whose
income has undergone no material in
crease, but whose living expenses have
doubled because of the control which
the trusts have over the necessities
of trusts.

IMPERIALISM.

The Republican party inyOkeS for
the American people in its foreign
policy the idea of imperialistic expan-
sion. y broad line OF demarkation is
thus drawn between those in this Re
public who wish to adhere to the fun
damental principles OF liberty estab-
lished in the Revolutionary struggle:
and those who wish to sail in far OF
seas. and own by conquest if need be.
far off lands.
The difference is clear cut and un-
miStakable.
We ought to adhere to the American
docrtine and not espouse the Continen-
tai idea Of dependent Colonial govern
mcnt. In 1923 Mr.. Monroe promulgat-
ed his rule of American action which
has become a part OF international
regulation and law, and surely if we
embark in Oriental and Continental
acquisitions and contests we relieve
the other nations Of the world from
the implied obligation to respect the
Monroe doctrine: and the question Of
the survival of the titteSt." is flung
wide open even on American soil.
Expansion Of trade is one thing, eX-
pansion Of territory with or without
the consent Of the governed beyond
American domain is another thing.
No appeal to religion, no appeal
to trade. no appeal to world wide
fame, can justify us in embroil-
ing our people in European and
Asiastic contentious and turmois. The
markets OF the world are open to us by
treaty rights: our trade is expanding
and improving. China, Japan, the
Argentine Confederation and all of the
South American States want our cot
ton goods and ask lis to enter. And all
we want is lower tariff which will
help us to make cheaper goods: and
more confidence in ourselves and energy
in putting our goods before the world.
There is much in the old cry that
the "Constitution follows the flag"

Years afterward, when he became 6 prominent lawyer he joined the Man haitian club, then the leading demo cratic social organization in, New York city. One night, after the club had bought and moved into the Stewart marble mansion at Thirty Fourth street and Fifth avenue. Bourke Cochran joined few friends in the cafe and ordered drink and a cigar. Of late years he has been a strict tetotaler, but in those days he took drink with .sthe boys.' After lighting the cigar, Cochran put his feet on the table and upset his drink on the carpet in manner that seemed too deliberate to be accident al. His companions looked at him in astonishment. Cochran gazed into the glowing grate fire and rubbed his hands with satisfaction. Then he told about Stewards treatment of him as boy.
 After all these years," he conclud- ed, you don't know what a satisfa ton it is to me to come in here and do just as I blank please in the old codger's dining-room.''
 
 No one ever talked five minutes with Bourke Cochran, says the Phil adelphia Press, without falling un- der the spell of his wonderful person. al charm, for he is as compelling in his conversation as in his oratory.
 And no one has ever spoken more appreciatively of him than Mrs. Will liam Astor, who, after he had won re- 1ations with the metropolitan four hundred, invited him to dine at the Astor board. Meeting a friend day or two subsequent to the dinner, she said:
 ''I have dined with very large pro. portion of the men now in public and social life on both sides of the At lanic; Mr. Cochran is decidedly the most interesting character I have ever met''

HOT CONTEST IN OHIO
Fight For Speakership of the
 House F'iercely Waged.
THE RESULT IS STILL IN DOUBT.
Vote In Caucus Alone Will Deter mine the Hanna-Foraker Strug- gle For Control of the
 Legislature.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 1.-The so called Foraker- Hanna contest over the organization of the Ohio legislature closed it's last day with neither Price nor McKinnon assured of the neces- sary thirty-five votes for the Republic an nomination for speaker. Sacrifice hits on both sides are being made for all other places to get votes for Me Kinnon and Price, and it is conceded that the ballot in cancus this after noon is the only sure thing
 While McKinnon and Price are claiming thirty-seven votes each, their managers, who keep books, are more conservative. Congressman Dick, di- rector general for McKinnon, said, We gained two in the declarations of Binkley of Perry and Fisher of Medi- na, and we want a couple more."
 The Price men concede McKinnon only twenty nine, but conservative watchers say each has thirty-three sure and that each needs at least two more votes.
 George B. Cox, manager for Price, said last night: There are still seven doubtful Republican representatives. We need two or three of them ana the others four or five"
 While Dick, Cox and others are after recruits their heutenants are having lively times in holding their men in line and in guarding them in many in- stances. Members on both sides are accompanied by friends wherever they go, even to their meals and to bed. There are sentinels about the hotels and at the railroad stations to see that none get away or into strange com pany. Representative Willis turned on his escort yesterday and publicly de- nounced the organized espionage on both sides.''
 He afterward attempted to start q movement to drop both Price and Me Kinnon and take up a new man for speaker.
 While Foraker will have no opposi- ton for the Republican nomination for senator, the names of Charles w. Baker of Cincinnati and Judge A. w Patrick of New Philadelphia will be presented for the Democratic nomina- ton for senator, with the odds in fla Vor of Baker

Grave Charges Regarding Sale of
 French Sailors.
 NANTES, France, Jan. 4.-Le Petit Phare publishes a leading article, enti- tied the White Slave Trade" in which the paper follows up the charges of crimping methods employed at Port land, Or, contained in letter signed by eight French captains and dated Portland, Nov. p, and published by this paper Dec. 2S, in which the writ CTS asked the French consul general at San Francisco to intervene and de- handed government inquiry into the subject The article contains extracts from letters of French captains show ing that eighty-seven French sailors were beaten and deserted their ships at Portland during the month of No yember.
 Le Petit Phare urges that French diplomatic action be taken in this mat ter and says:
 '"This scandal must cease. It extends even to San Francisco. It is not worth the trouble for the French parliament to vote premiums to our merchant ma rine simply to fatten these pirates and permit them to sell French sailors like cattle at fair"

CALLS WOMEN DooRMATs.
Clara Hoffman Declares That Women Serve for Naught in the Church
 and Government.

ssWomen are and have been but door mats and dishwashers for men in gov ernment and church affairs said Miss Clara Hoffman, president of the Mis- souri division of the ". c. T. U., in an address before the executive commit tee of the Illinois Equal Suffrage asso- citation in Evanston, H., the other day. Continuing she said:
 'sThe time is here when woman must rise in her might and demand some rec ognition for her work. If the church work were left to the men every church in the country would be run in the ground. In sole charge of municipal governments, the mark of their work is signal failure in almost every in- stance.'
 Cheers greeted the speakers re, marks and every delegate rose to con- gratulate her. A reference to "the hide-bound views of the members of the mems monopoly" was the occasion for more cheers.
 Dr. Frances Dickinson indorsed the views expressed, and said that the Equal Suffrage association should be- gin fight to have intelligent voting taught in the public schools.
