IN THE HOUSE.
Representatives Pearre, schirm and
DalZell Speak


Dalzell Speak
The exercises in the House this afternoon
were appropriate and impressive.
Under the terms Of a resolution by Rep
resentative Pearre, the members Of the
Maryland statue commission occupied spe-
cial seats in the space in front of the
Speakers desk. The two ladies galleries
were reserved and occupied by the friends
of the Maryland delegation.
Resolutions accepting the statues on the
part OF Congress were offered by Mr.
Pearre. who addressed the House at length
In his tribute to Charles Carroll, Mr.
Pearre summed up as follows:
Tall, straight, slender, graceful and I'M
posing In figure and nien. polished and
courtly in manner and address, refined and
cultivated in mind and spirit pure Of pur-
pose and Of lofty ideals and aspirations, he
| was the paragon of the gentleman, the
patriot and the statesman of his time.
Leading by ability, not pretense, per-
suading by reason, not sophistry; COM
| handing by affection, not fear, he was a
distinct and effective factor in all the great
work Of his generation, until, with honors
thick upon him and the consciousness of
work well done, he retired from public life
with the love Of those who knew him best,
the lofty esteem of those with whom he
served his country, and the confidence, re-
| spect and gratitude Of all his felow-clti-
zens. and died lamented by every man who
cherished honor and loved virtue
'In the heart Of the older Maryland,
where he located the capital of the United
| States at the left hand Of the great Samuel
Adams, who fired the citizenship of Massa-
chusetts as he that of Maryland into open
resistance to oppression, looking toward
Allen and Garfield of Ohio, formed from the
| trackless northwest, which he saved to the
| nation for the constructing Of free states,
and in company with Benton and Blair of
| Missouri, who. in a later crisis led their
| state to adhere to the Union, as he. in the
first great crisis, led his to adhere to her
sister colonies to throw off the tyranny of
| England he and they and all their asso-
ciates will stand as silent and continual
monuments to the immortal truth they Ia
bored and fought to establish, that the col
| lective will Of Individual freemen Is the
| true and only source of the power and au-
| thority Of all the governments OF man."
| Mr.. Pearre was followed by Representa-
| tive Schirm Of Maryland and Representa-
| tive Dalzell Of Pennsylvania, after which
| the resolutions were adopted. q

Senate Should Stand Firm.

From the Dubuque Qowa) Times.
Let us hope that the republican leaders in
the senate will stand frmly against the
admission of Arizona and New Mexico to
statehood, Notwithstanding the cry that
their admission is inevitable and that 1t
would be good politics. to accept 1t rather
than let the democrats get credit in the
future states for raising them to a new
dignity.
In the end 1t is good politics to treat pub
lie questions on their merits and the merits
OF this case are all on the side Of the ma
jority report proposing the admission of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory as single
state and excluding Arizona and New Mex
leo.
The argument that the last republican
national convention declared in favor Of the
early admission OF the remaining territories
of the union to statehood has no force The
senator Is bound by his conscience AMI by
the reasonable expectations of those VINO
elected him and not by an obscure para
graph OF no current popular interest in a
platform submitted to a convention whose
attention is confined to its cardinal points.
This omnibus statehood bill would never
have passed the House and would never
have been reported to that body had its
support been limited to congressman elected
with the expectation that they would favor
1t. The responsibility has now been thrown
upon the Senate and the only republican
members of that body who can be accused
of lack of good faith are the republican
senators who support the measure with the
knowledge that their own immediate con-
stituents and the interests of the nation
are opposed to 1t.
The national welfare Is the supreme con-
sideration and next in Importance is the
welfare Of the territories concerned. The
majority report protects both.
The proper test Is the potential future of
the territory seeking admission in respect
to quality and quantity of population This
union Is composed largely Of states which,
at the time of their admission had less
population than Arizona or New Mexico
possesses today. but. save where mistake
Is conceded to have been made in admit
ting the territory to statehood. as in the
case of Nevada. they had such prospects in
respect to character and extent of popula,-
ton as Arizona and New Mexico have not
at this time.
The admission of these latter territories
now would be unjust not only to the union
whose protection should be the supreme
consideration. but also to their own people.
New Mexico Is allen to us In language, GUS
toms and civilization. Arizona's population

BY UNANIMOUS VOTE
UNION OF TWO LOCAL CHURCHES
PROBABLE.
Action Taken at Meeting Held Last
Night-Committee Of Confer
ence Appointed.

From present indications 1t is likely that
consolidation will be effected at an early
day between the congregations OF Foundry
and St. Paurs Methodist Episcopal
Churches of this city. At an adjourned
meeting Of the quarterly conference Of St.
Paurs Church, held In that edifice last
evening, the members of the conference
voted unanimously In favor of consolida-
ton. ~
Rev. DR.. H. R. Nhylor, presiding elder
of the District, presided at the meeting,
which was attended by nearly all the men,
bers Of the quarterly conference of the
church. The meeting had been called to
consider the resolutions recently passed by
the conference of Foundry Church relative
to the union Of the two congregations.
After a thorough discussion of the ques-
ton before the meeting it was decided to
appoint a committee Of three to meet
with a similar committee from Foundry
Church and make arrangements for con-
summating the project. The plan Of con-
solidation and the name of the united
congregation are to be decided upon by
the two committees. and they will report
back to their respective congregations the
results Of their conference. 1t Is gen.
orally understood that the name Of the
joint church will be Foundry.
The Committee Named.
The committee of three from ST. Paurs
Church. appointed by the conference last
night to arrange for the consolidation,
consists of Mr.. A B. Browne. Prof. A. c.
True and Mr.. Joseph Birch. The COM
mittee from Foundry Church. appointed
recently. is composed Of Mr.. Irving
o. Ball. Mr.. Theodore A. Harding and Mr.
Sewall. 1t Is expected that the committees
will hold a meeting at an early date and
that the plans for consolidation will be per-
fected.
Three Of the six members Of the board of
trustees Of Foundry Curch died recently,
and a meeting will be held at Wesley
Church this evening to elect members to
fill the vacancies on the board, and also to
reorganize the church.
In case the two local congregations de-
eide upon a combination the matter will
have to be brought before the annual con-
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which will be held in Baltimore early in
April The bishop will then determine
whether or not the churches may become
one organization. 1t is not likely that the
bishop will oppose the consolidation, how
ever, II the two congregations agree.
