observe that the rashness Of some, the
impatient ambition of others, the mis-
taken criticism Of the leading classes
and the obstinacy of the revolutionary
spirit have sorely tried the virtues of
many advocates of liberal policy. At
time when have desired to see the
country happy and its citizens enjoy

full duty Of adopting repressive meas
ures contrary to my character, my ed

officers in this case have not succeed
ed in overthrowing the government,
they have nevertheless contributed to
the propaganda which delays the
fruits of peace and makes our progress
and our prospect captive in the clutch
es of the monster of civil war. Our
prosperity has been withheld through
errors and entanglements for which
my government is not responsible, but
which claim prompt and quick solu-
tion. In carrying out this policy, I
should have the support of all the cit
liens of Venezuela because therein
rests the sovereignty of the father
land. II Is my wish that you convey
to these journalists my wish to see
them again fulfilling their duties Of
party opposition. l desire that the
press shall bring all the charges 1t
may have against me, being confident
that its judgment will not affect me.
I do this in order to establish under

justification of my political purposes.

ling. and he gave a description OF the
manner In which the frauds are per-
petrated.
This bill is not so drastic as had been
proposed heretofore, Mr.. McCumber

ton to 1t could be raised II attempted to
regulate the sale of only such foods as en-
tered into Interstate commerce. and the

FORERUNNER OF A CAMPAIGN
Appropriation to Pay for Folding
Speeches of REPRESENTATIVES.

When the House met yesterday. two
resolutions were passed which brought to
mind the imminence of a Congressional
campaign. These were to authorize the
doorkeeper to spend $4,000 in folding
speeches at the rate of 81 n LOCO, and to
employ an additional wagon driver.
The Committee on Accounts, in present
ing the resolutions said they were made
necessary by the great increase of speech
es dumped upon the folding room by
members Of both parties for distribution
in the approaching campaign.
Heretofore the House has employed OK
ira folders for this purpose. but they cost
$1,000 in the last campaign year. and thu
committee said the proposed plan would
accomplish all necessary objects at a
greatly reduced cost. -.. ....
