1 he Ushers ot the older, time
were a class of sports who invite-f
the custody of wagers and de-camp
ed with the swa. They have their
coui.le-rpart in a number of so-called
Democratic Senators and a larger
number of Democratic Represen
tatives at Ilarri.iburg. who have in
Vited the confidence of the Demo
cratic people and have fled to the
jauip of the enemy for reasons which
could not be accepted as sok-ly :
question of promoting their health
The people of Pennsylvania elect
ed a majority of Senators and ;
majority ot Kepresentatives against
the despotic political machine power
ol the State, and it required only
fidelity and common honesty on thf
part of the Democrats and Independ
ent He-publicans chosen on the di
unci piauorm ol opposition to the
machine, to have defeated the re
election of (Juay, to have assured
the passage of fair apportionments
and to have secured an entirely
honest election law. It was in the
power of the Democrats, aided by
the Independent Republicans who
were more than willing to be their
allies, to have made a record of the
present Legislature for economy and
Uitegnty and general fairness of
.egislation and to have assured to
the Democrats the justice in appor
tionments ana an election law
which have so !ong been denied the
Democrats of Pennsylvania.
The Democrats have been kicked
and cuhed by the same machine to
which they have given renewed
power, and they have been denied
honest representation and honest
jlections. The people chose the
present Legislature to correct these
wrongs and but for the perfidy of
the Democratic welshers in Senate
and House, there would have been
not only an honest and resjected
Democratic organization in Pennsyl
vania, but there would have been
honest legislation throughout to
command the approval and respect
of the people of both parties.
These Democratic welshers not
only by direct votes given the des
potic machine of the State, sacrific
ed the control of the Houe and
Senate, but they have passed a Con
gressional apportionment bill in the
Senate that gives the half-million
Democrats of Pennsylvania only
three Congressional districts, and in
the House the same Democratic
welshers have passed a bill in obedi
ence to the commands of the desper
ate political machine driven to re
volutionary madness, disfranchising
the people of the second class cities
jn the State, and given them despotic
individual and factional rule to sup
plant the municipal officers chosen
by the jeople. It is a scheme of
malignant revenge, of revolutionary
removal of lawful officials, of un
constitutional disfranchisement of
the sovereign power of the people
and of deliberately planned plunder.
Only a welshe-i Democrat could
vote for such measures, and honest
Democratic constituencies must
spurn such Democratic perfidy and
place the stamp of eternal infamy
upon the guilty traitors.
It is by these Democrats welsh
ers that the Democrats have lost all
they fought for in the last compaign.
They battled for an honest ballot
and that will be denied them by
Democratic welshers; they balloted
for an honest apportionment that
would give them fair representation,
and that has been denied them bv
the direct votes of the Democratic
welshers in the Senate.
There is not a scheme of proflig
acy or plunder proposed by the reck
less and arbitrary dominant machine
that cannot now command the Demo
cratic welshers of both Senate and
House to assure its passage. It is
thus that the Democrats of Pennsyl
vania have been, destroyed, aud the
only hope of Democrac in the fut
ure is to make these welshers so in
famous that none will dare to imi
tate them. Philadelphia limes.

Washington, March 4, tool.
Tin Cuban amendment to the
Army Appropriation bill, which
had the remarkable merit of being
I approved as a whole by all the Sen-
i ators reeird'.ess of party, left Pr
K-nt McKinley J choice. :
res
ile
was compelled to announce the
abandonment of his intention to
call an extra session of Congress.
The amendment leaves nothinsr in
connection with Cuba to call an ex
tra session for. Put his heart is
true to Hanna and the Ship Sub
sidy job. and he will not wait until
the next regular session of Con
gress to get it through, if any re-a-
sonable excuse for calling an extra
session can be discovered in the
next four or five months.
Much thoughtless criticism of
Democratic Senators is heard be
cause they did not prevent a vote
on the Philippine amend nent
making President McKinley "Ruler
ot the Seas" to the Army appro
priuticm bill, and some verv ridicu-
l-iti-j stories are being told as to why
they did not. Pew Democrats who ,
will consider the situation as it was
will admit the justice of this criti- i
cis:n. It is perfectly true that the I
Democratic Senators could easily
have spent the short remainder of j
this session in discussing this i
amendment, which is unquestion- 1
ably bad and vicious legislation. I
Hut that would have thrown the 1
responsibility for the failure of the
army and other appropriation bills
and the consequent necessary extra
session on the Democrats. It was
not fear that caused the Democrat-
ic Senators to avoid that responsi-
oiiuy, out good political sense.
The Ilanna-McKinley crowd are
fairly itching for an excuse for an
extra session, because in the next
Congress there will be a much larger
Republicun majority in the Senate,
in order to pass the Ship Subsidy
bill and other jobs which the Dem
ocrats have successfully blocked in
this Congress, and the Democratic
Senators declined to play into their
hands, knowing that even if they !
did so it would onlv make a differ-
ence of a few weeks in the date of
the act giving President McKinley
autocratic civil power in the Phil
ippines. In exposing the vicious
ness of the Philippine amendment,
which they did thoroughly, the
Democratic Senators did all that
could be expected of the minority.
The majority is responsible for leg
islation.
Senator Allen's denunciation of
Admiral Sampson for having writ
ten a letter opposing the promotion
of warrant officers in the navy be
cause theyhad not enjoyed the so
cial advantages which lie consid
ered requisite for a commissioned
officer in the navy was one of the
most severe ever heard on the floor
of the Senate, but it was fully de
served, and it is hoped it will be an
effectual bar to any further promo
tion of Samoson. Mr. Allen said :
'If William T. Sampson i th.
author of those indorsements he is
conceited ass and he ought to be
marked down as such. We are not
bringing up in this country a race
of snobs. If I am correctlv in
formed, there was a time when
Sampson was no better than Chas.
Morgan, the gunner. He came
from no better stock. I am glad to
repeat that we are not raising in
the United States a class of brass-
jeweled aristocrats. If this rank
and arrant coward is to be believed,
the time may never come in this
country when a poor boy may at
tain to such a position as his abil
ities warrant him in holding. I
want to say to Sampson and to his
friends that I am responsible for
what I say." In the House the
matter was referred to' by Represen
tative Perry, of Ky., who said that
Sampson was of extremely humble
origin himself, and whatever refine
ment he had obtained was due to
his service in the navy, and Sulzer.
of New York, who, after strongly
endorsing all that had been said by
Mr. Jicrry, had read a newspaper
clipping denouncing Sampson,
which he also endorsed.
There was a sensational scene 011
the floor of the House last week,
and nothing but blind partisanship
saved Speaker Henderson from be
ing censured by a resolution of
fered by Representative Richard
son, for having exceeded his au
thority by having a speech on the
Philippines, which Representative
Lentz had sent to the Government
Printing Office for publication in
the Congressional Record, under a
general "leave to print" order of
the House, sent to him instead of
being printed, and for turning the
same over to Representative Hros-
venor, supposedly to be edited. By I
THE COLUMBIAN,
I a party vote of 127 to 115 the House
; refused to consider the resolution
, of censure. While the matter was
j pending and the House was in a
; great uproar, Mr. Lentz said in a
: speech, demanding why his speech
j bad not been published : "Is my
; speech to be edited ? Is Congress to
have a censorship such as exists in
the Philippine Islands? I supposed
every metnoer had the right to have
; his speech printed in the Retard,
; but my speech has been withheld
by someone." Later the speech
, was handed to Mr. Lentz on the
1 floor of the House, but he declined
, to receive it. and demanded th.n it
, be returned to the government print-
ing office, from where it Jhad wrong-
luiiy been taken, in order that it
might appear in the Record. He
had his way, too.
