MORCAN'SLONG PLEA
A Four Hours Speech For
 Nicaraguan Canal.
CLOSE OF DEBATE ON CUBAN BILL.
House Leaders will Try to Force Final Vote Late Today-Demo- ~rats Favor Taking Off Diff
 ferential on Sugar.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-For more than four h ~s yesterday MT. Morgan (Ala.), chairman of the isthmian canal committee, addressed the senate on the subject of the Nicarag guan canal. He devoted the greater part of his speech to consideration of the desira- bility and practicability of the two principal routes, Nicaragua and Pana- ma. He strenuously favored the for mer, maintaining that in every possible respect it had many advantages over the Panama route
 A parliamentary change in the situa- tion of the Chinese exclusion bill was made just before adjournment, the measure passed by the senate Wednes- day being substituted for the house bill. This was done to expedite the bill in the house.
 General debate on the Cuban reel procity bill closes today at 3 o'clock, and it is the intention of the house leaders if possible to force final vote on the passage of the bill before ad- journment at night.
 The, opponents of the bill occupied most of the time of the debate yester- day, the feature being a vigorous speech by MT. Cushman (Rep., Wash.) against the measure. Mir. Cushnlan ar raigned the committee on rules and the house leaders in a breezy and at times criticism was in semihumorous vein, but some of it was decidedly caustic.
 The Democrats of the house at caucus held last night by very large majority, estimated at 3 to l, adopted the following resolution, introduced by Mir. Swanson (Va.):
 Resolved, That we favor the re- moyal of the differential on sugar both from Cuba and elsewhere and believe that such amendments are properly in order, and we insist that it is the duty of all Democrats to vote whenever op- portunity is given to have these amendments added to the pending bill providing for Cuban reciprocity. We are opposed to the adoption of the previous question when the bill is re- ported to the house unless it shall have been properly amended in the committee of the whole, as this will prevent an opportunity for just and proper amendment, with recorded votes on the same.
 Resolved, further, That the action of this caucus is binding"
 The caucus was rather turbulent during the early part of the evening, but toward the close the differences disappeared, and it broke up amid eyi- dences of harmony and good feeling.
 The action taken binds the Demo crats to vote to abolish the differential on refined sugar and against the pre- yious question.

EXIT THE PARLOR.

1 And is this true? Is the parlor doomed? Must it give way to the liv-
 Ing room! That apartment can not
 make good the loss of the other. Who does not remember the darkened glo- rles of the old fashioned parlor, which
 was seen at it's best in the middle sized town, village and country? Shut
 up the week through, sometimes near ly the year through, with blinds closed tight and lace curtains tied primly back; with it's haircloth-seated chairs set in line against the wall a ssrock- er,' ready to gallop, in one corner. md What-not in the other, ornamented with rice baskets. praying Samuels. and family photographs and daguer- reotypes, q center table set exactly in the middle of the room, with a few handsome books and large family Bible, the mantelpiece with vases filled with crystallized grasses at either end and odds and ends of strange things nlllng up the rest of the space; who among the elder generation does not know it well? It was a room to be venerated.
 And now-one sadly recognizes ii to be, indeed, thing of tile past. In- stead, there is the living room that actually is a living room, where the paDys perambulator stands near he piano, where the work basket is on convenient table tho one ever saw work basket in the parlor): where there are plants and a writing desk: where the sun pours in as much as # may. 1t is indeed living room. If one has space there is a reception room. to be sure; but everyone understands that amounts to little-the caller and the friend are shown into the living room. To person used to a parIor. no matter how long ago, a call in a Iiv- ing room hardly seems like the solemn function 1t used to be-
 Very likely the change is for thn better, but it is g revolution The rn- spectable poor used to stint themselves 10 maintain decent parIor; now in model villages model tenements they have lost this privilege.

Those who pooh pooh the idea of vaccination and say it is a useless pre- caution, are, it is to be thankful for, growing beautifully less each day.

A FOOD COMBINE.

Beef Trust Reported to Be Planning
 One.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-Evi- dence accumulates to show that the formation of a colossal food combina- { ton is the ultimate object of the beef trust. In this city the trust has al- ready become power to be feared in the butter, egg and poultry line, and it has now begun to turn it's attention to the cornering of the vegetable and fruit market.
 The trust is. we'll equipped to extend its control to nearly every branch of the food industry. The combined stor- age capacity of the big western houses in the pool is far greater than is need ed for storing meat With all this space at it's disposal the trust has been in position to buy up all the pro- visions of any kind it wanted and hold them in cold storage until a corner was effected and then unload at big profit. The policy was followed in cornering the egg market last winter, when the combination cleared millions. It is said that the same system is now being adopted to corner the potato market
 Independent wholesalers in the meat business say that the combination had all it's plans laid to incorporate pack CTS trust on the lines of the steel trust this spring, but that the exposure of its methods in the press compelled a temporary abandonment of the Schalne.

reason of the widespread failure to maintain the recognized precautions. If we get to work again at vaccination we can speedily restore the earlier con- ditions of safety, but they will not bring themselves. In Germany vaccination is compulsory and the Germans are practically immune as nation. It is related that during the Franco-Prus- sian war, while the Germany army lost only a score or so by smallpox, the French lost 10000. The one country yaccinated scrupulously and the other was openly neglectful. It is up to us ourselves how widely the smallpox shall spread. It can be stopped soon, but that requires that everybody be- come interested and that such senti- ment be developed as to force the un- willing to yield.'

The stories that are coming to light
 at present of the goings on in the Phil ippines shows that the United States soldiers are not backward in the way ] of infiicting cruelties on their captives. The tales being told must make dis agreeable reading for the powers that ue at Washington, and may also be the cause of several resignations in .he that ''the war department people have slick way of shelving charges such as those made about the water. cure by Private Riley of Northampton. He first wrote privately of the matter to his father and brother and the latter, without his knowledge, made the letter public. That publication was followed by a so-called investigation which re suited in an official denial that the water cure had ever been practiced hy the officers or soldiers of Riley's regi- ment. But no such assertion had ever been made by this truthful witness The misleading statement put out by the war department led a number of newspapers to declare that Private Riley's charges were false. It is ey.- dent that our soldiers in the Philip pines have been made to feel that tell ing the truth about what they have seen there is likely to be for them m and possibly dangerous, proceeding.v

eThe plain truth is that the Boers, after two years and seven months of heroic fighting" says an exchange, '.haye convinced England that all the resources, military and financial, at her command are not sufficient to crush a brave people who, trusting in God and in themselves. have faced undinchingly the might of the British empire and successfully defied it. A few months ago the English jingoes were shouting at the top of their voices, 'uncondition- al surrender That cry is no longer heard. It has been succeeded by a demand for peace on any terms, not too humiliating to England. The over lures which the Boer leaders have now under. consideration are the outcome Of this change of heart. Even the most rabid jingoes see that a year or two more of war will spell ruin for Eng land. It is the British government, then, that is crying, Hold, enough The budget statement of the chancel- Tor of the exchequer presented to par liament since the opening of the peace negotiations is in itself a yeritable handwriting on the wall. It was held back for several days in the hope that good news from South Africa would reach London.

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, ard for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- Iuteiy sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.
