Special Washington Littor, " 'Twit a fatuous victory " which the Dmiirirmfn wnt, in thu lnm uurl hift.nr hi tiuht over the Cuban Question. While the bouse resolution as amended by the seuuto Mud again amended by the house and again amended by the conferees are not un strong an the resolutions submit ted to the house by the Democrutio mi nority of tho house foreign affair com mittcju, they are so much stronger than the milk and cider resolutions original ly ruHMod by the bouse on Weduesduy, .April 18, that we houHe Democrats can (truthfully and merully claim a decisive victory. Truo we did uot get quite all wo wimtod, but then the president got a grcut deal mere than he wanted Rot the very thing he argued aguinst in bin niessugo to wit, Cuban iiidopcndeiina. The historian of our time will ren der the verdict that in tho hour 0 the country' peril the Democrat mood fore most for Justice, liberty, humanity and the maintenance of the national pres tige, dignity aud honor. Thero ha been a good deal of gor geous eloquence about a reunited coun try, a though that were a thing brought about in 1808, Not no, howev er. The country ha, thank God, been reunited ever since Grunt uttered the noblest words that ever fell from mar tial lipH, "Lot um have peace," and since Joseph E. Johnston attended him to the grave a one of hi pallbearer, livery man living in a border state, where pussiou burned tho fit'eest, know thin, but it require a long time for tiome people to learn a lesson, and I am glad that at lust 18 year after the fact even tho dullest ha discovered that tbi in in very truth a reunited nountry. An to foreign nation, to bor row the felicitouN word of Jefferson in 1601, "We are all Federalist; we aro all IiepublicatiNl" which, being inter- nritttitl tti.i ttiMlitrti TitirtiuiinlfiffV UfftuM A read, "We are'ull Republicans; we are Fotrltlo Houthfirner. In tin Htrnggle to recognize Cuban indeueudence the southern Demwrat ) have been inoro patriotio than northern Bepublicaus. That fact cannot be gain said. If I were called upon to name the woe; in ten ho partisan in the house, I would unhesitatingly name General Grosvcnor of Ohio. When he i forced to admit publicly the burning patriot ism of the southern people, it may be lafely assumed that everybody else will admit it also. Having used words in the heat of debate which everybody thought meant that ho intended to say that the impending war with Spain would be "a Republican war" and having been go charged by the New York Sun, tho general rose in his place and said: "My purpose was not to intimate that tho Democratic party of this coun try was not as loyal to tho country a was tiiu Kepublican party, and I hud taken occumoii to state, earnestly, at the time of tho past-age of the f IjO.OuO, 000 emergency bill, my unqualified in dorsement, and, indeed, my profound delight, nt the record of tho Democratic party with reference to it.

"Is thi subject worthy of considera tion? Is it worth while for the represent ative of the American people to de clare what tbey think about the situa tion in Cnba? I it worth while for thorn, when every day' newspaper bring tho most harrowing tale of suf fering and outrage and wrong, to con sider whether anything shall be done? "Should these representative hold themselves within the narrow, petty limit of little rules; fiddle while Home i burning; bow here, oomplaisuut and acquiescent, merely because some little rule is invoked, when principle a mighty, principle a glorious, princi ples a holy a putriot ever espoused or heroes ever defended are involved in the consideration? It would be more or derly, it would be more in seeming with the generui performance under tho rules, if the resolution looking to the recogni tion of Cuban belligerency were before us formally, to be acted upon formally aud regularly; but it is not here. We aro not allowed to have it tbu before us. For mouths the seuuto resolution ha slept In some of tho secret place lu the room of tho committee on foreign affair. ftlmtnrrul Dll If Itellylu;. "The power that i dominant in the bouse, the mighty power of the speuker, and tho acquiescence of you gentlemen upon the other side in the suppression of that which your constituent us well as mine desire to have considered have kept that resolution away from us, What promise have wo, what ground of hope have we, thut the representatives upon this floor will be unshackled vol untarily ; thut the bond will be broken; thut tho despotio power exerted over them will be staid; that graciously they will bo permitted to consider bore the things which their constituents demand shall bo considered, which iu tho numo of humanity and justice and patriotism and right ought to be considered, uud which too long have been delayed? "Tho attitude of the government with respect to Cuban affairs ha been shame ful. It i a disgrace to American man hood, an insult to American patriotism. It is contrary to tho traditions, contrary, to tho history, contrary to tho impulse and tho aspirations of the people of thi great republic. " Loud upplause. J Jan. 20, in my speech ou Cubu and "Tho Monroe Doctrine us Interpreted by a Missouri Democrat," I said: "Hurcly tho time for diliy dallying and sliilly shullying on tho Cuban ques tion is past. There never was any sense in mincing word about it. The hour for honest, courageous, unequivocal speech and action is ut bund. "Thi republic ought to grunt bel ligerent right to the Cuban putriot. She should recognize tho indepeudenco of Cubu. If Kpuiu does not bring tho war to a speedy conclusion, tho United Htutes ought to expel her from tho west ern hemisphere. These things ought to be done in the cause of humanity. They ought to bo done as the beginning of a sound and permanent business policy. They ought to be done as evidence of our settled determination to be supreme in the affairs of our half of the world. Man does not live for himself ulono. Neither does a nutiou. ICebel and Krvolut ionUt. "Wo were the first rebels or revolu tionists in this hemisphere, for let it never be forgotten that tho only dis tinction between a rebel and a revolu tionist is that the latter succeeds, whilo the former fails. It is not it dilh rence of principle, but of results that is all "Thero can be no doubt us to what has been our traditional foreign policy.

Tersely uud bluntly stated, it is this uud it ought to be enforced with iron bund that we intend at all haz ard and at whatever cost to thoroughly dominate the western world." Then, after statiug the luuguago of JetTerMiu and Monroe as to the Monroe doctrine, I said ; "Tim Monroe doctrine bus grown with our growth, strengthened with our strength, Imreaned with our territory.

Round about the young and feeble republic al ready established in this hemisphere we should throw our friendship and influ enoe, and we should enoonrage Cnba and all the rest of the West India islands to unite themselves intoarepublio of their own. The habit of representative gov eminent is healthy and laudable. It should be fostered by u in every way possible, We should not only lend them onr moral support, but should give them physical aid in cases of necessity." In closing, iu order to get what we wanted, I said: "My Republican friends, I urgently invito yon to lay aside the weight that is holding you down, assert your right and come out ou the side of etorual jus tioe and human liberty, thereby demon strating that yon are worthy of the high vocutiou wherein you are called. We Democrat and Populists stand here ready uud anxious to remove from America her grout reproach. We on thi side will contribute 150 votes to the good cuuso.

March 8, in speaking in favor of the 150,000,000 pouce 0) appropriation, Thomus C. McKito, tho deuu of tho Ar kuusuH delegation, a mun of influence, capacity aud conservatism, said und in so saying spoke the sentiment of hi stute uud section : "Mr. Hpeuker, thi is an important occusiou, perhups tho most important since thut momorublo ouo thut divided our people and put them to fighting among themselves. It iH un occusiou when patriotism should and I dure say will obscure sectionalism and partisan ship. It is un occusiou when Americuu ism should assert itself iu behalf of the defense of Americuu honor. "I join with my friend from Missis sippl (Mr. Allen) in saying for the peo plo of the south, und particularly for tho stuto from which I come, that there is but 0110 sentiment, and thut is thut if this impending wur can ho honorably uverted without injury to tho cuuso of freedom it ought to bo, but if some reck less, impetuous foreigu foe shall invade our shore or assault our citizen we will show thorn 'whoso dripping bludo and stulwurt arm will hew u red circle in their lino aud feuco our country' flag from harm. ' "Mr. tipcakcr, tho flag whioh floats over this cupitol and tho flag thut so grucefully bungs over your chuir is the flag of tho south us it is of tho north, We havo no other flag. Wo wuut no other Hug. Thi is good enough for us and has behind it power enough to pro tect every Amorioau citizen. And iu this hour of threuteued uud impending wur every man who claims to be an American aud who would desire to exult American manhood should bury hi par tisanship and by uu affirmative vote on this bill say that tho honor of this gov ernment and the liberty und rights of our citizens everywhere shall bo pro tected by it without regard to cost." Loud appluuse. A Ulorlou Itrrord. Hon. Denton McMillin, one of the house leaders, who missed :t Uuited States senatorship recently only by two votes, and who ufter 20 yeurs of splt u did servico in congress decline u re election in order to be governor of Ten nessee, in discussing the quostiou of time for debute on the majority aud minority house resolutions said in part: "There is, Mr. .peuker, a gnut dif ference between these two resolutions.
