 There was an echo of old Roman days when Senator Fettus arose on Saturday and st topped the full tide of invective by saying: T rise merely to ask the Senator from Utah to withdraw the resolutions. We are in a situation where the witness cannot be had, and why press this dis cussion which can only lead to bitter ness?" In other words: Why be partisan when the situation calls for statesman ship? Why waste ones time in bitter speeches that can produce no good result? If we had only men of Pettus' inspiration in the Senate the country would be the Eainer.

Passing of Religious Controversies.

'"The meeting of the Methodist general conference calls to mind the fact that theological controversies between Cal vinists and Arminians. that is to say, be- tween Presbyterians and Methodists, have gone out of fashion" remarked a man who does not belong to either of the de- nominations referred to.
 When I was a youth I used to listen to fierce arguments on predestination and free will. I remember being at the house of a good Methodist of scholarly attain ments. Presbyterian elder, who was also a man of considerable learning called to pay social visit. The Methodist brother brought up the question of pre- destination and undertook to prove from scripture that man was free agent. The elder maintained that the doctrine of cleo tion was the only true doctrine. They waxed hot and I feared they were com ing to blows.
 After I had reached mature age l listened to many controversial sermons from Methodist bishops and from Pres byterian dvines. Sometimes l would think the Calvinist got the best of it and sometimes the Arminan. It has been 20 years since I heard or read a disputa- tious discourse The old metaphysical is- sues In protestant theology have given place in great measure to plain, practical discussions. I may be wrong, but in my humble opinion religion has been the gainer"

 The House having rejected the Senate amendment for carrying out that clause of the treaty of paris, which required the American government to pay to Spain $20, ,000 GOO for the '1awful' possession of the Philippines. a special bill was intro duced in each house providing the neces- sary money. The passage of this bill was sought by means of unanimous consent in the House. MT. Wheeler objected. Then the question recurred to a motion to sus- pend the rules and pass the bill. Mr. Wheeler demanded the yeas and nays. By right and parliamentary usage, ex- tending for eight hundred years back, MT. Wheeler was entitled to control the time of debate on the opposing side. The speaker, by pre-arrangement apparently, gave the control of the time for the Democratic side to Representative Dock cry of Missouri. then mem Der in favor of the acquisition of the Philippines, now Cover nor of Missouri. Thus the control of the time of debate was under the friends of the bill, MT.
