THE OMAHA DAILY T SATURDAY , MARCH 27 , ISSb' EDIIDi , DS' ' RESOLUTIONS PASS The Long Partisan Debate Enda With the Oloso of Yesterday's ' Session , INGALLS1 KEEN BIT OF SATIRE Tlin Vote on tlio Jlcsolutlons Deviate Slightly From Strict 1'nrly Jjiiics Congressional I'roccc.dltiRS. Scnnto. WASHINOTON , March ax Among the bills Introduced was ono by Mr. Hoar , providing for Inquests by federal authority. Mr. 116ar Bald Hit ) bill was suggested by tlio reports of recent occurrences at Cnrrolllon , Miss. The senate Imd no Information In regard to these occurrences , but the newspapers of both political parties seemed to agree about them. According to these reports , wanton and un provoked crimes had been committed , re sulting In the death of a large number of citizens , In which nil the victims were of ono race , and ho presumed of ono political party , nnd all thn murderers of another. Such oc currences , unfoi Innately , had been ot fre quent occurrence , but when Investigated were ant to take a political turn. Persons defending or apologizing for them said they had no political'slgnlllcance. It stilt re mained that It was thu opponents of the democratic party that wore killed and that the adherents of that party were the minder era. This hill was to provide a method of in quiry , which would bo removed fioii ) politics. It was rofcried to the Imliclary committee. The Kdmnnds resolutions were then placed befoio the senate and Mr. Ingalls took tlio lloor. Mr. Ingallsdenlcd that tlio senate ImU asked for the president's leasons for sus pending any ono or that private papers had oeen asked for. It had been said that the senate had been Inactive In conliimlng ap pointments. Mr. Ingalls denied this also. The senate , since January i , IbWJ , had con firmed 40 ! ) lunnlnations. Ho was ono of those who believed in non-paillsinshlp In politics. After tlio election the democrats expected to vet In and the republicans to get out. Hut a new Conesls had come about of late ycais-a class of political philosophers who believed that non-paitisaii.shlp was the panacea for all the evils that nfllictcd theie- public men who decried the opera tion of the "American system , " as they failed It. This new party had uccn recruited fiom tlio republican part > ' . Tlio neuter gender , Mr. Ingalls said , was not popular either in nature or In sci ence. "Male and leimilo created He thorn. " But there was a tlilid sex it that "it" eonld "sex" bo called which sex had none result ing sometimes tioiu the cruel capiico of na- tine , at others 110111 accident or malevolent design , possessing the vices of both and the vhtues of neither [ laughter ] , unable cither to beget or to bear , possessing neither fecundity nor vlilllty , endowed with con tempt of men and deii.sion ot women , doomed to sterility. Isolation and extinction. [ Laughter. ] Hut , said Mr. luu'ulls , they have two functions they sing falsetto fsjie.it Innghter ) and they are usually selected as the guaidlaus of the seraglios of Oriental des pots. [ Renewed laughter. ! To come fiom llguies to facts , hecontinued , this tldul party had distinguished itself by singing In falsetto plnases of civil service re form , and had been elected as the guaidlans of tlio conscience- tlio national govern ment. He was not hero to impugn tlm good faith , nnlilotlsm or many cxtiiiordinai v qual ities or tlio piesldent ot the United States. The president was the sphinx of Ameiican polities. Jt was said that he was a intallst , and lie tegardcd lilmsclf as a child ot destiny ; that he placed devout and Im plicit iclianec unon the guiding inlluence of Ills star. Certainly , whether drover Cleve land wasn very gieator a very small man. lie was a very extraordinary man. It when he was inaugurated he had de termined that the function of goveinmcnt should be exercised by men of his own Daily , the nation wuiila have been content , and hercon was foundcd'tliO justification that tlio nmjoiityoftlioseniitocouldu.se in demand ing that no action should he taken In connec tion with the eproposed lemovals fiom ollico until there had been a s > atlstaetoiy assinauce that injustice had not been done. If It were understood that these icmovals wcie made for political reasons , the country would bo content. The lepubllean nmjoiity In the scnato would bo content. The piesident had declared that theio should bo no changes in odlce when the Incumbents were competent for political leasons hut they should be permitted to hcno their term. Like those that weie gihiding at the mill , one had been taken and another left. Some republi cans had been suspended andothersietulned. What was the iuesistlble Inllucneo ot the logic of the situation In view of the picsi- dent's ultetaiices , except that every sus pended man was suspended for cause and not lor political leasons. Mr. Ingalls alluded to the celebrated circu lar Issued by the postmaster Koueial , which he characteiiml as "the most thoioiighly dq- pi ailed , deliled , cxeciablo and detestable public utteianccs" ever made bv any ollleial. It was an invitation , ho said , to every libeller , oveiy anonymous blandcicr and scurtHOIKS delamer. to pour sewage Into the postolllco depaitnient. The postmaster gen eral's ionly to the ic.solution of the senate In- tioduccd by himself ( Ingalls ) showed that 8,0)"i ) fourth-class postmasters had been removed - . moved in the past year by an adininUtintlon pledged to remove men only for cause. That was non-iaitlsan eivll seivleo lefoim. Mr. Logan i balil that the senators had tiavelcd tar In the debate , and discussed many topics disconnected with the question befoio the senate. The only question was whether the attorney goncral.should lurnlsh papers relating to the conduct ot the otlice of nuNretatt ) < nnoy. This goveinmcnt , said Mr. Logan , is based on the will ot the people nnd the people should Innuall the Information that they , tinough their lepio.scntutlvcs in congress , should call for. Tim president calls these papers "piivute , " but the moment he places a papei on the lilcs of a derailment It becomes , uy his own act , a public paper. Could the president mean that to-inoiiow he could box those papftis nn and send them to Dutlalo' , ' Or that hei'oulu at any time heio- after take them away'/ Could ho leave them theui fortcn orliftcen yeaisaml then make a demand on the government for them as his pilvate impeuV If that was an argument. It was ono that It was Impossible to support by any soit tit loslc or talr dealing. Mr. Lnsnui declined liluiheir In favor of open sessions , and In concluding said ho respected the piesldent ns a pleasant gentleman , but that gentleman was mistaken In the Idea that he was any thing IIIDIO thiin an American cltl/en placed In his olllue to execute the will of the people. Mr , Logan's speech was listened to with marked attention , and excited Livorablc com ment. Mr. Iliuilson followed In support of the majotlty. Thopolieyof the piesent adniln- Istiatlon , ho paid , had been without piece- dent and would be without an Imitator. Seciot chaiges had been accumulated against the reputation of men and what was mote , against thoicputatlon of women and these dial cc.s had been abtep on in the dark. The piOv-lanmtlou of the president hud been that mem dillciences of opinion weio not to oner- nto against mini , but the feast was like feasts of the old story , to which men wcio In vited for the purpose of assassination. Mr. Kdiiiiinils , .In closing the debate , re viewed the whole- question carefully , and contended that both houses of congress had the right to see tlm papers affecting the busi ness ot the government. If , bald Mr. Kd- niunds , you took out ot this very pioscnco at this moment the Intlurneo ol executive pat- lonago to On given to senators and their friends , thcro would not bo live votes in this chamber against nnv one or all the resolu tions proposed by tun judiciary committee. The qiw.stlon was then on Mr , Van U'yek's amendment piovidlng that In all Mich IMM'S of removals the matter of continuations Miall be rousldeied In open sessions of Hie senate. Mr. \Vickimulon \ strong speech in ad vocacy ot HID amendment. Mr , Logan s > .iid that he would vote for the nmendment but tor the tact it was thousht that It would encumber the u'.soUitioiis. Mr. Hoar raised the point that the amend ment was not In order , Inasmuch as it changed the i ides of the senate and no notlco had boon given of It. The picaidont pie teuipoio sustained the point of oidur , and an aupcal taken by Duller was laid upon the table yeas ai , noes 'JS. This was a Muct paily vote , except that Mr. Van \Vyck and Mr. IHildlcbi-rger voted with the democrats.

The president pro tempore overruled the point of order and Mr. Oray appealed from Ids decision. Mr. Uray's appeal was laid on the table. Mr. llrnwn moved to amend by striking out the third resolution altogether. Lost. A vote licliifr taken on the third lesolution It was agreed to j pas GO , noes 29 , Messrs.

IJeforo that resolution came to a vote , Mr. liutler said If ho had tlmn he could demon strate that the republican party had violated the law relating to soldiers ten times where the present administration had not departed from It once.

A Ncbraqknn's Wlfo niul Daughter liost On tlio StrcotH of Chicago. CHICAGO , March 2fl. [ Special Telegram. ] The very strange disappearance of Mrs. Louis Hums and her 17-ycar-old-daughtor In this city about the middle of January has ever since then perplexed their friends and ac quaintances and still continues to distress them. Mrs. Bums was the wife of a rellicd merchant nnd farmer in Niobrara , Neb. , who Is the most prominent cltl/en of that region. Theyounglady , Miss Nina Brims , had been on a protracted visit to Germany , when some six months ago the mother went to Kuropo to brine her home. It appeals that Ihoy arrived In thisclty January 15 , nnd belnir unable to pursue their journey fuithcr , on ac count of the stoi ins and blockade of tral us they concluded to remain a few days with their friends heie. On the morning of their ar rival Mrs. Uruns stopped at the cigar store of II. tiocttschc , coiner of Maiket and Madison streets , with whose wife she was Intimately acquainted. She had no baggage with her save a small hand satchel. After explaining liow she had been delayed on her journey , she inquired the way to the Blakely Printing company , 15C Dearborn street , She was told , and loft the store saying that she wanted to see a triend , who was a German , and a printer ihcic , and would call again at tlio cigar store in tha aftcinnon. Neither tlio mother nor tlio daughter has since been seen In thisclty , nor lave they put in an appearance at their Nio- biara home. The Geiman friend referred to is Mr. Pow ell Hamann , of 1307 Sedgwick street. Ho says ic undcistood the woman called on him , but for some cause or another he did not get lo see her. Ho kn'ovvs nothing legardlng their whereabouts. Mr. Konvvorthy , the foreman of the printing company , says ho remembers a woman of the description of Mrs. Bums jailing at the olllcc , but that was all. The iiisband and father of the missing wife and daughter supposed the latter weie stopping witli friends In this city or with his brother at Des Moino-t , Iowa , and was not alarmed , and on this account some time elapse , ! before an Investigation was begun. Mr. Gocttscho has received let ters fiom the brother in DCS Molucs , and also from Mr. Brims , asking him to have the city police investigate tlio case. Mr. limns is expected here in a few days to taKe up the sealeli in poison. No trace of the missing women can be found after their departure from the printing ofllce , and nothing can be licaul from what baggage they had with hem. It Is not even certain that the daughter was with the mother. miners AVIio Wnnt nn Advance. I'lTTBinmo , March 20.

Raymond ns Colonel Sellers would at first sight have considered tlio Magistrate a weak play. Tlio play , however , is ouo which grows upon the uiulienco and to some bears n lasting impression. Raymond has to a certain extent submerged himself inthaplay , He has , ncrlmps. the most jmportantolmractcr , but unlike tlio other plays produced by stars it is not the only character about which interest centers. In the Magistrate thcro nre live strong characters. They nil hnyo certain work to do which they are required to perform in an artistic , manner. The play lias cer tain situations where poor acting would bo ruinous. In Raymond's company , however , there is no danger of this re sult. Raymond , of course is excellent in everything he does. He neither surpasses himself nor fulls below - low his usual standard in his latest production. The Magistrate' baa had a well mWltcd , success \vhorovar it has been produtwl.

A bloody nfl'ray occurred last evening about 10 o'clock nt Minnie Fnircnildjs bagnio on Capitol avenue. Hattie Wren , ono of the inmates , attacked Tilllo Mitch- oil , another soiled dove , witli a tooth mug , cutting several ugly gashes in tlio hitter's head and face. Tlio Mitchell girl was lying upon a bed in her room when the Wren girl attacked her , and was unable to ward oil'the blows. She screamed for help , and some of the inmates of the house ran tohcr assistance nnd separated the women , The patrol wagon was then summoned and both girls were taken to the central police station where a plvysi- clan dressed the Mitchell woman's wounds. In addition to a long cut on the back of the head there was n frightful gash on her right check , and ono eye was completely closed. The cause of the at tack is supposed to have been the result of jealousy. Botli women were intoxi cated at the tlmo. Every Man For Himself. To tlio Editor : Permit mo to make a few comments on the letter of "S , " under the above heading. Tlio first part of his letter is as true us Holy Writ , but when he relates how cruel tlio employer is in tolling the employe , "If ho don't like it ho can quit , " of the "unsupplicd wants , " and "education hampered" for want of proper clothing to enable them to attend school compelling children to turn out to work nt an early ago in order to main tain themselves ho has , and knows lie has , struck the key note for the cause ol unionism. Ho suys "In union there is strength ; " and that something has been accomplished , and much moro remains to bo done. That is true ; and how foolish would lie be to destroy the structure be fore ho 1ms something better to substitute. Ho saj's ; "Conceding that capital is grasping and scllish , is not a trades union nearly as bad ? " All , thcro is the rub. Whiln unionism may bo considered hellish , it Is only scllish in the sense of using the same moans ns is used by capital. But I deny that it is used in a selfish way by ono meuibpr against another. Every man ot sense would bo glad to see unionism pass away as soon as it ceases to bo a means to the end for which it aims : Ho hays that while labor unions are n means to the end. and therefore valuable , they will not bo the instrument tofaveiitually ] better the condition of the'/misses. / Having served tlieir purpose they will pass away to make way for other forces. To that 1 and overv workingman would clap his bauds and shout "Amen. " . " " J.f ( S" is too conbcion- clous to fight with the same imple ments that capital uses , and unionism is not the thing to bring about tlie long de sired result , worhinguien would bo under lasting obliguti6ris to him if ho would take the matter In hand and furnish a substitute and do it over his own name , so that we may consult tdgcthor , nnd try it possible to brfng in tlie inillenium of the workingmciitf' condition. , n JoirN A.

From advicqs received 'at army head quarters , it appears that 'the ' veterinary surgeons of tlie Ninth cavalry stationed at Fort McKinney are receiving instruc tion in the art of horse dentistry from a veterinarian who is thoroughly compe tent in the art himself. It is" claimed tiiat by taking good care of the teeth of the horses used in the cavalry &ervice , the period of usefulness of the "noble animals" will bo greatly prolonged. Gen. Brock said yesterday that veterin ary surgeons at each post would bo given lessons in horse dentistry until they become - come thoroughly proficient therein. Col. Henry has recovered from his re cent illness , caused by a hemorrhage from the wound in his face. He had tins time last year a similar but moro severe illness from tlio same cause when sta tioned at Fort Lcavenworth.
