Bossing is catching, Mr. McKinley is now tryiag his hard at bossing Congress, or to be more exact, the Republicans in Congress. Each Republican has been notified that the administra- tibn does not intend to recogniza the belligerence of the Cubans nor to intervene, either peaceably or by force,’so long as present conditions continue to exist in Cuba, and that every Republear _ who secks in any manner to agi- tate the question in Congress will be considered an anti-admin- “tration man, and be so treated by the Presideat. How is that for a bit of high banded muzziing? Senator Mason, of Illinais, is one of the Repubiicans who doesn’t intend to be muzzled on the Cu- Fan question. He says he will this week offera resolution in- structing the President to demand peace in Cuba, which he believes he can bring about at wnce, avd he added: “Some- ‘thing must be done, and I will at least cive the Senate a chance to do a lot of talking. Itis ashame that our government pe-mits such a stato of affairs to exist in Cuba.” There fis a probability that Mr. McKinley and the Czar of the House may lock horns over the latter’s pragramme forthe House. - Mr. McKinley wishes tha House * * to pass a financial bill carrying out some of the recommendations of his message, and Mr. Reed has suid that the House should not pass a financiai bill. If Mr. Me- Kinley doesn’t back down, there is likely (0 bea hot time in the old House. : Czar Reed will soon haye an- other fight on his hands, He g said that no river and harbor bil should be passed by the House al this session, but the committee is gOing right ahead preparing a bill and by a judicious distribu- tion of Appropriations, it ig believed that enough votes can be secured to pass the bill regard- less of the Czar, and its members say tho attempt to du so will cer- tainly be made. Representative Terry, of Ark,, tersely stated a great truth, dur- ing the little d& bate in the House which accompanied the attempt by democrats to get action upon a billto compel the admiristra- tion to bid un to the full indebt. edness, principal and interest, of the Kansas Pacific railway, when itis sold, when in reply toa taunt from Representative Dal- zell; of Pensylvania thathe only ‘wanted to have government own- ership of railroads, he said: “We ad better have government own: ership of railroads, than railroad ownership of government.” Daring the same debates. Representative | ey Baily, of Texas, said: “On this side we belieye the government can collect the debt, and asa prudent creditor that it should cellect every dolar of¢it.” The Republicans oppose this legisla- tion on the ground that the President already has sufficient power.Jt is to prevent the abuse of that power by a settlement that wilt not include full payment of principal and interest that the D- mocrats desire the legislation. Representative Norton, of Ohio, who sharply criticised the present pension Jawand its administzatios was taken to task by Representative Ray of New York, whocharged him with ate tacking the Pepsion 2ureau and the administration. After deny- ing that he had attacked either the President or the Commission- er of Pensions. Mr. Norton turned to Mr. Ray ‘and said: With due amenities and courte- sies Of debate, ifthe gentleman says that I did, he lies in his throat. Mr. Ray did not reply, and nobody looks for a pistols and coffee for two sequel. Times have changed. Although a considerable num- ber of Senators had made person- al requests of Mr. McKinley to allow Mrs. Kenna, widow of the Jat& Senator Kenna, to remain postmaster at Charleston, W. Va. Mr.McKiniey bas ignored those requests and in response to the demand of Senator Elkins has nominated Mr. O. A. Petty te succeed Mrs. Kenna. But Mr. Petty will have to be confirmed by the Senate before he gets that of- ice and present indications are that he will not find that oltogethor eusy. At a conferenco ofsilyer Re- publicuns and Vopulists, attend- ed by every Senator and Repres- entaciye of both parties, the plan f general co-operation in the Congressional Campaign with the Democrats was uvanimously ratified. Jt was also the unamiors sentiment that Mr. Bryan was the logical candidate of the allied silver foree in 1900. 1t was also decided that ex-Representative Towe, chairman of the vilver Re- publican National Committee. should be sent to Oregon, where Congressional election wil ke heldin June, to ald in carrying out the eo-operation plans in that State. Representative Wilhamt’, of Miss., has fattened the contenls of the pigeon holes of the House committee on Foreign Affairs by cffering a resolution calling on the Secretary of State for all the information in his possession as tothe progress made by Spain in its atempts te get the Cubans to accent autonomy and the condi- tion cf the reconcertrados (non- combatants) of Cuba.* The reso- intion is timely and ought te be acted upon, but there is liftle hope that it will be. Nothing can get before the House without the Czar’s QO. Kk. “f ee rere os poe, ¢ ate: a Men Who Make the Wheels Go Round. There are, of course, many men in business pursuits who devote themselves to single branches of trade, just as there are men who are devoted to single branches of science.. A reporter who was seek- ing definite information concerning a certain article of common use was told that So-and-so knew all about it, a statement that was confirmed by another man, who said of So- and-so that he was ‘‘as much inter- ested’’ in his specialty ‘‘as the re- porter was in types.”’ There are plenty of such men that the public never hears of; men that devote their lives to special lines of goods, or it may be to single arti- cles, who are experts and men of authority in their respective busi- nesses and very probably men of high salary ev considerable income; meu Of cuewy, capacity and con- , ovo saceeed in what OV Wiring .

Several years ago it was given him on his birthday, and there wasn’t a prouder youth in town. The very night after he received it he wore it toaparty. After the affair was end- ed he asked permission of one of the young women to see her home, and his escort was accepted. She lived some distance from the scene of the party and as he walked along with her he felt a little dubious about his personal safety. There was a good deal of talk about footpads and some very bold holdups had occurred. Presently he noticed a suspicious character dodging along in the shad- ow across the street. The suspicious looking character finally hurried ahead of them and then crossed to their side of the street. This was too much for the youth. ‘Say,’ he said to the young wom- an ina hoarse whisper, ‘‘you’ll have I’m blamed if I want to lose this new watch!”’ | And he actually left her then and there and hurried along the back track. She wasn’t far from home and didn’t mind the desertion a bit, but the deserting youth didn’t hear the last of the story for many! months.—Cleveland Plain Dealer, “ade ann lew , git " ‘ ‘ Jat Pree, 46. & i ey ee eee Lee we & Fett Orde bar SON CATIA
