THe New York Herald objects to the Cuban resolutions because they are not good English. That dosa't matter so much they are good Ameiican. There may be room in this country for two Salvation Annies, but there is no room, and certainly no use, in any portion of it for two democratic parties. The St. Louis convention will declare for the kind of protection that insures steady employment at good wages and the kind of money that means a dollar worth a hun dred cents eveiy where. This is one of the years in wh'c'i conventions to nominate republican candidates for congress will do a good deal of balloting, as a nomina tion will be equivalent to an elec tion in a large majority of cases. Mexico grows in proportion more rapidly ythan Canada, the increase in our Southern neighbor in four years having been 900,000 or about 8 per cent. A republican form of government is the first ele ment of American prosperity. The votes in the senate against the Cuban resolution came from Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. This shows that the corners of the country can get together at all events. Montana is in a good humor because both copper and silver are advancing. Copper is making the most rapid gain, a natural result of its freedom irom fool friends bent on forcing its sale for just twice the market price. The populists seem to be having almost as hard a time finding a presidential candidate as the demo crats. Senator Peffer slips it into Gov. Holcomb's hand and the gov ernor passes it to Senator Allen, and button, button who's got the button? It is promised that the Grant monument at Riverside Park, New York, will be completed on the an niversary of the General's birth, April 27, of next year. The fund amounts to $529,931.91, of which three-fifths has been expended. New York has been slow in this undertaking, but it is hoped that date now fixed will not be subject further to change. The 365 sugar factories that have been ruuning in France han dled 5,402,000 tons of beets up to January 15, or 1,707,000 less than in 1894-5. The sugar produced was 500,285 tons, instead of 577, 165 tons of last season. This de crease is less than the diminution in quantity of beets would indicate, for the beets were richer in sugar than usual. As last season was of unprecedented drouth in France, there is perhaps a little comfort in the fact for Nebraska farmers. She was not less than forty, writes Judge Edgar Howard in his valuable Papillion Times, and her husband will certainly never see his fiftieth birthday again, but when he escorted her to the train which was to carry her away on a visit to friends in another state, he planted upon her lips a kiss as hearty as anjr maiden might crav from any man. There was a crowd ot loiterers on the depot platform, and some of them laughed at trie man's simplicity, or rather "prov incialism," as one cynic termed it. We confess it is today rare to see such a public exhibition of affec tion between men and wives of riper years, but really it should not be so. If true love lives be tween man and wife it will shine through their every act and deed. Years cannot hinder its steady flow nor the presence of prying eyes dampen its ardor. It is ten to one that the man who is to cultured to kiss the wife of his bosom in public is too mean to kiss her at home. God bless and prosper the man who is not afraid to kiss his wife, yea, though all the world be watch ing! Thousands of womanly hearts are cold today, while upon those hearts may yet be lying fagots of love ready to be lighted by a husband's kiss Poetical Bixby.

Sold by F H Xongley PEESIDENT IS SC0EED BITTERLY ATTACKED BY CONGRESS MAN HARTMAN. His Missionary Speech Denounced as a Slander on the West House Passes the legislative AjiMVi.riatioa Bill a Amen dedTo Abolish Tee System. "Washington, March 6. Tho house Thursday wangled about four hours over the salaries of United States marshals aud the other features of the amendment to tho legislative appropria tion bill to abolislrthe fee system in the case of United States attorneys and marshals. Interest in the debate, how over, was completely overshadowed by a sensational attack made upon Presi dent Cleveland by Mr. Hartman (Rep., Mon.), who felt himself personally ag grieved by Mr. Cleveland's utterances at the Presbyterian home mission meeting in New York on Tuesday, and who seized the opportunity allowed by the latitude of debate on appropriation bills, to repel the idea that the western states were the homo of evil influences. To Abolish the Fee System. "Washington, March 7. The house Friday passed tho legislative appropria tion bill, which has been under dis cussion for a week. Most of tha time, however, was consumed in the amend ment to abolish tho fee system m the case of United States attorneys and marshals. This amendment was per fected and adopted. The houso then entered upon the consideration of the postoffice appropriation, tho largest of the regular supply bills, which carries $91,943,757. During the general debate, Mr. Loud explained that the bill did not purpose to abandon tho inspection system. Halo's Pica for Spain. "Wasuinoton, March 10. Another stirring chapter in tho Spanish-Cuban controversy was added by tho senate Monday. Many senators indicated a do sire to be heard on the subject and the conference report, accepting tho house Cubau resolutions, went over until to dav. The speech of the day was made by Senator Eale in vigorous opposition to this resolution and to the offensive in terfeience cf the United States in for eign questions. Tho senator declared tho spirit of militarism was abroad in the laud; that our course involved the possibility of war with all its dreadful consequences. Attempt to Cxit rostofUce Appropriation. "Washington, March 11. Tho house Tuesday witnessed the perennial at tempt to cut off the appropriation for special facilities, from Boston via New Yoik and'Washington to Atlanta and New Orleans. This appropriation has been carried in tho postoffice bill since 1873. This year it amounted to 1, 000 aud ccnpled with it were appropria Hons for special facilities between Kan sas City and Newton, Kan., and Chi cago and Council Bluffs. Tho latter items, however, went down before points of order. An attempt was made to rule out the southern subsidy also on a point of order, but Mr. Payne (N. Y.) overruled the point. The motion to striko out was defeated yeas, 93; nays, 110. Thopostoffiro bill was not disposed of. During the morning hour a bill was passed making a ycarVcontinuous residence" in a territory a prerequisite to obtaining a divorce in such territory. Arouses Judge's Ire. "Washington, March 1 1. The crowds which filled tho senate galleries Tues day in anticipation of an exciting Cuban debate wore not disappointed. Mr. Lodge (Rep., Mass.) arose to a question of personal privilege and in vigorous words rebuked the Spanish minister. Senor Dupuy de Lome, for his recent criticisms of senators. Sena tor Teller added his opinion that a repe tition of the minister's action should be followed by his dismissal. Mr. Hoar asked that his lesolntion, postponing tho entire Cuban subject until April 6, go over until today. POSTOFFICE APPROPRIATION PASSED Ilouse Reduces the Amount to 15u Used For Tostnl Purposes. "Washington, March 12. Tho house "Wednesday passed the postoffice appro priation bill which has been under con sideration since last Friday. The feature of the debate was tho attack upon the "spy system" in connection with letter carriers. Tho salaries of in spectors have boon paid, under the cur rent law, ont of a fund at tho disposal of the first assistant postmastor general. This fund was cut ot? by tho present bill, but provision was made for the em ployment of 30 additional regular in spectors under the fourth assistant post master general, increased the appropria tion from $17(.0t)0 to $312,000. Cuban Debate In the Senate. Washington, March 12. The Cuban debate in tho senate has advanced to the stage of one of the great debates of the American congress, and tho speech Wednesday of Seuator Hoar was an other eventful feature of the discussion. In this debate the speakers and the crowded galleries are kept at high ten sion by such stirring themes as war and patriotism and liberty. Mr. Hoar's speech was notable in setting forth the conservative view of the subject and urging a postponement of action until April 6. This developed many sharp controversies with Mr. Sherman and other senators. In this connection he paid a glowing tribute to Secretary Oluey and, while differing with him politically, Mi-. Hoar said the secretaiy of state was a clear headed, old-fashioned, Massachusetts Yankee, who could be safely trusted with our foreign negotiations. The senator added a like tribute to tho sin cerity of President Cleveland in dealing with with the Venezuelan question and declared that any action by congress at tacking the president's course would bo an attack on America. Mr. Hoar's icso- i lntion for postponement was lost. THE IDEAL HIGHWAY from Chicago to Ft. Wayne. Cleve land, Erie.

Pasaenccr and Freight Departmcata Feel tho Democratic Times Nearly 100,000 Men I-OBO Their Jobs Light Demand For Goods Makes Idle Engines. President Eobert M. Olyphant of the Delaware and Hudson Canal company said, "I see no reason why tho result should havo any effect on the condition of railroad interests." Vice Pra-sident Martin Luther Sykes of the Chicago and Northwestern said: "I have not thought of the result of the election in its bearing on railroad prop erties. They cannot be affected ono way or the other. Onr manufactories will not be shut down, nor shall wo stop growing crops, and tho business of tho roads must continue. Railroads benefit from the prosperity of the people." Tho foregoing statements appeared in tho New York Sun of Nov. 11, 1892, immediately after tho election of the present Democratic administration. Wo ask President Eobert M. Olyphant and Vice President Martin Luther Syke3 to examine with us the income account of railways up to June 30, 1895. We take from an early report of tho statistician to the interstate commission, Mr. Hen ry C. Adam?, tho following figures: ItATtillOAD CAICTISGS PEK SULK OF LINE. Fiscal year. Passover. Freight. 180! $2,065 $4.SS3 1S32 2.1M 4,94(5 1S93 2.138 4,930 Avcrago 82.086 $1.813 1894.... .Toil 4,002 1SS5 1.7S4 4.151 Average SI. 73 $4,077 Decrease, 1834-5 $223 $730 President Olyphant has doubtless al ready realized the orror ho made in say ing that he could "see no reason why the result (Democratic success in the national elections of 1892) should Jiave any effect on the condition of railroad interests." The reason was stated by Vice President Sykes, because "rail roads benefit from tho prosperity of tho people." As the people did not have prosperity dnring tho two years of this Democratic administration, they could not afford to travel on tho railroads, consequently the passenger earnings averaged 223 per mile less for the 1894 and 1895 years than their average during the three years of MeKinley protection to tho American people. The sumo reason, tho lack of prosperity among the people, checked tho demand for goods, reducing the quantity of freight to be hauled, and consequently the freight earnings of all railroads from an average of 4,813 per mile down to $4,077, a losd to the companies of s?78G per milo un der tho Democratic admiuistrat ion, mak ing a total loss of $9")9 per mile. The statistician of tho interstate commerce commission, Mr. Houry C. Adams, folly realizes tho causo and effect, for he said in his report : "It should be remembered, in order to understand tho tr,eud of business re flected in these figures, that the years 1891 and 1S92, especially the latter, wero unusually prosperous years for the railways so far as the volnmo of traffic js concerned, but that lho year 1893 witnessed a great commercial panic, and that the year.? 1S94 and 1S95 are properly characterized as years of com mercial depression. "The most significant fact in tho above comparison, as throwing light up on tho effect of commercial depression upon railway management, is found in Ihe movement of operating expenses. In last year's preliminary report atten tion was called to the fact that a reduc tion in operating expenses foil aws rath er than accompanies a decrease in gross earnings. The present report seems to indicate that when the managers of rail ways aro forced to rednco operating ex penses the cut is made decisive and final. Thus the decrease in the operat ing expenses for the fiscal year 1894, as compared with 1893, was 713 por milo of line ; the corresponding decreaso for tho year ending Juno 30, 1895, as com pared with tho fiscal year 1S94, was but $44 per mile of lino. " This reduction in operating expenses caused 94,000 railroad employees to lose their jobs. These men, thrown out of work, had to tramp it when seeking employment elsewhere They could not afford to patronize tho railroads; hencn they added nothing to the passenger earnings. Enforced economy compelled them to buy less clothing, possibly les3 food also. Thus tho freight earnings of tho railroads wero reduced. The hauling of food and clothing for 94,000 men would represent a good deal if touuage. Eailroad presidents and vice presi dents, oven if their salaries wero not reduced, havo had a little experience that will enablo them to reason out the whys and wherefores of good and bad times. They can help to restore the good times by working for Eopublican suc cess in this year's elections. Our early stories aro mostly as inter esting as our first poems.

TKcatacky Legislature Almost at the Ex- plosive Point Yesterday. . Frankfort, Ey., March 12. Wednes davt the 11th day of March, will be an unenviable memory in the history ot Kentucky politics. Blind partisanism and bitter passion usurped the place ot cool judgment and sober thought. At times it looked as if there might be an outbreak of mob violence. "When it became known outsido that the house had unseated Kauffman, the Democrat, and that the senate had unseated, tho Republicans, James and "Walton, the aspect looked so threatening that many of the great crowd that thronged the corridors made a rush to get away. -There was an unseemly rush for the joint assembly door, which was guarded by a large body of armed men. At one timo tho explosive point was almost reached. That point would doubtless have been reached if the Republicans had attempted to force tho unseated senators into the joint assembly meet ing. Kauffman, tho Democrat un seated by the house, was already in the hall. Senator James, one of the un seated senators, got in by strategy. This left one unseated Democrat and one unseated Republican in the joint assembly hall. This made honors about even on that score and tended to promote peace. There were revolvers waiting silent, but ready at the hall door and had any one wanted trouble he could havo had it. "Within the hall of the joint assembly matters were made to run smoothly by the ruling of Speaker "Worthing that tho clerk of each house should call the roll for the vote of the house. Once under way, the joint assembly proceeded to business in true parliamentary style. "When it adjourned every member left the hall in a good humor. The break ing of the quorum indicates this will be the strategy of both parties through tho few days that remain of this session and that neither party will elect a senator. " FUNERAL OF J. H.
