'THAr ALL statehood legislation at
this session of Congress is doomed to fail
ure, as a result of democratic opposition,
is the belief of the leaders of the Senate
this evening"
The above is from the New York Trl-
bune, the recognized organ of the nation
al republican party, and goes to show
what reckless statements are made by the
leaders of that party and the belief en-
tertained by them that the people like
TO be fooled. Instead of the democrats
preventing, they stood firm for the pass
aye of the statehood bill, and that bill
has been persistently opposed by ma
iority of the republicans since its in
duction in the Senate, Notwithstanding
the fact that the admission OF the Ter
ritories as States was set forth and favor
ed in the national republican platform.
Mr.. Quay reminded his republican col
leagues in the Senate of this and told
them if they lied about one plank in the
platform they would lie about Others.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Indianola, Miss, postoffice case
occupied the major portion of this time of
the Senate yesterday. Mr.. Tillman
spoke for-three hours in continuation Of
his remarks. begun Monday on the race
question, and was followed by Mr.. Car
mack, of Tennessee.
Mr.. Tillman said that, in dealing with
the Indianoa postoffice, the President
and Postmaster General transcribed their
authority and resorted to methods which
were both tyrannical and unconstitution-
al. He wanted to know if in figuring
up the purpose of their newborn zeal,
"this cold-blooded, calculative, advised
" taken action" was not prompted by a
low motive. He charged that 500, 900
negroes are coercing fifty millions of
white people in the Sorth to deal with
seventeen million OF while men in the
South in the interest of eight million ig-
norant negroes in that section. The in
feriority of the negro race, he held, is
as well recognized in the North as in the
South, but in the North neither circum-
stances nor conditions force any marked
manifestation of race prejudice. He
quoted statistics to show that the tend
encies of the negroes are toward evil.
During the morning hours several bills
and resolutions were passed, and consid-
Grafton was given the bill to further pro-
vide for the safekeeping of public money
on deposit in national banks. The agri-
cultural appropriation bill also was con-
sidered, and the committee amendments
agreed to, except the statehood rider,
which, as stated yesterday, was passed
over.
The House passed the Philippine cur
rency bill, accepting the Senate bill so
far as it relates to the islands. The COM
mittee amendments striking out theinter-
national monetery conference was agreed
to. The contested election case OF
Wagner VS.. Butler was under consid-
Grafton for time, and the democrats be-
gan a filbuster, which they threaten to
continue if the case is pressed. The
case was withdrawn with an agreement
that it is not to come up until Thursday.
