DURING the debate on the statehood
bill in the Senate yesterday Senator Hale
made plea for further deliberation be-
fore taking a vote, and suggested that in
order to permit gentlemen to further ac-
quaint themselves with the subject that
the Senate adjourn until Monday. Sena-
tor Quay in reply said
Senator Beveridge, who was a member
of the republican national convention,
which Endorsed statehood for the three
territories, and Senator Lodge, who
as presiding officer of that convention
put the question. and Senator Hale, who
was familiar with the long fight that had
been made for statehood surely did not
need further time for consideration. II
the republicans can lie to the people
about the admission of territories in their
platform, they can lie about any other
planks of their platform.
And that is just what they do not hest
tate to do when it suits their purposes.
That party acts on the theory that the
American people like to be humbugged
and it gives them full rations. Of course
these little interchanges of pleasantries
by the republicans in the Senate are
greatly enjoyed by the democrats in
that body as they point a moral if they
do not adorn a tale.

ACTRESS INFATUATED PRINCE
Prince Chowfa Maha Vajirayoudh of
of Siam, who recently visited this coun-
try, played trick on society by making
love to an actress when in New York.
Though he glanced at social beauties and
rumor had him engaged several times,
he had eyes only for Mabelle Gilman,
of the knocking Bird" company-that
is, her manager said last night, that the
prince had behaved that way. Chowfa
met her first in London two years ago,
when she was playing there and he was
a student at Oxford. His attentions at
once grew insistent, and he wrote burn
ing letters, so the manager says. Miss
Gilman has bushel of these letters and
yards upon yards of poetry in her dres-
sing room in the Bijou Theater, all writ
ten in what is said solemnly to be the
round hand of the prince and signed
either "BTou," his pet name, or with
his full title. Besides this he sent her
his pictures, taken in school gowns and
his full court dresses. with the tenderest
rhyming sentences on the back, either
quoted from some poet or original, 1t is
suspected that more than one social beauty
from California to New York will take
hastily from her cabinet s,-prlzed photo
graph from Chowfa when she hears Miss
Gilman has them TO burn.

Mr.. SHAFROTH offered a resolution IN
the House Yesterday setting forth that
whereas the dispute between Great brit-
ain and Germany on one side and Vene-
mela on the other, is likely to result III
an infringement of the Monroe doctrine
with possibilities of serious complications
with the United States, the President be
authorized to propose to Great Britain
and Germany that their claims be SUD-
mitted to arbitration, and TO agree that
the United States guarantee the payment
Of any awards against Venezuela. This
would be most dangerous precedent.
The South American States are mostly
in an impecunious state and should II
be understood among them that the
United States would guarantee the pay
ment of awards against them, 1t would
be an almost irresistible temptation ioi
them to run into debt decline to pay
their creditors, ask for arbitration and
then let the United States settle the
awards. 1t would seem to most people
that the United States has its hands full
in paying its own debts and why Mr..
Shafroth wants this country to assume
the debts due by Venezuela to England
and Germany can only be answered
by that gentleman himself. But some
congressman now like to talk for bun
combe.

BISHOP WALTERS, of the New Jersey
African Methodist Episcopal Church,
addressed large audience Of negroes in
Richmond on Wednesday night. The
following extract from the address will
give an idea of the venom displayed:
"The republican party has turned its
back upon the negro. There will be no
peace as long as injustice reigns in the
land, as it does. As long as there are
Jim Crow cars for your refined and cul-
tivated wives and daughters; as long as
there are midnight assassinatiOns, and as
long as there are determinations against
the negro, the negroes must stand to-
gether; they must insist on the southern
representation in Congress being cut
down. That will reach the white man
and help your case. God removed
President Mckinley. God was dis
pleased and called him home. He raised
up man to take his place in Mr..
Roosevelt | know Mr.. Roosevelt, and
/ say to you that he is brave, courage
Gus man. The politicians may head him
off sometimes, but he will help you"
The speaker seems to have been a long
time in realizing that the republican
party, having used the negro, has now
set him adrift. Neither party can or
will utilize him and, in political sense,
he may be likened to ship without a
rudder. As to standing together and
following the bishops advice, such ac-
ton is calculated to isolate the race more
and more.

CAUTION.

This is not gentle word--but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment of Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The rs cents size
has just been introduced this year.
Regular size IS cents. For sale by Els.
