TALKING AGAINST TIME.
It Is difficult to see what good can
be accomplished as a result of the pol
icy^ul..pled by the opponents of Ha?
waiian annexation in the Senate; This
Is a government of majorities, and it
is neither wise nor right for the minor?
ity to take advantage of a rule which
is generous in a faull in protoetine, the
weaker side to any question under dis?
cussion. II was never intended that a
full and complete discussion of a inat
^Jter should ?degenerate' int.. a disgraceful
effort to spar for time or to talk a
measure d.-?l li.
When an opponent of a. bill t^-ls up
and states his objections to the besl
of his ability ami then voles against
??it he should consider his duty per!'..rul?
ed. If the majority still persists in
thinking lie is wrong and votes him
down he, of course, must wait for his?
tory to teach him his error or else
vindicate his judgment. 'This habit of.
taking advantage of parliamentary
quibbles to stretch a debate to
a ? tiresome and seemingly in?
terminable length of time is
becoming more disgusting every year
to intelligent, common sense persons
who send their representatives to Con?
gress to transact business.
Unless the Senate finds some way .'I'
shutting of!' the unreasonable und use?
less flow of tall; thai ernanntes from
some of its distinguished members, J
public opinion may in time force the |
adoption of I seed rules !'??!' that august j
body. A reasonable privilege unduly
abused becomes a distinct wrong.
Get down tu business and let the
question to be decided on its merits and
not on the wind capacity of its oppo?
nents and champions.
It looks as if some of the
Spaniards arc at last beginning to
realize to what desperate straits Span?
ish honor has drilled. In a speech it:
the Spanish Chamber of Deputies Mar?
shal Campos said:
"If the Conservatives do nol aci ept
power in the event of their being called
upon to do so, Hu n. In order t.> main
tain the dignity and honor of Spain. I
myself will pick it up, even out of the
gutter."
If .Marshal Campos would only look
into the matter closely he would dis?
c-over thai Spanish honor has been in
the gutter or in some other place as
: lowly and obscure for the past quarter
of a c?Uiury. If this virtue of wliic.'i
-jurSpanish friends talk so much had
been properly cultivated and practiced
in every day affairs Spain would nol be
in such an unfortunate condition today.
.This talk, however, simply serves to
Illustrate the truth of tin- statement
that thieves are always the greatest
sticklers for honesty as far as their own
Interests are concerned.
