M -''v'N'V'N'v; Editorial Correspondence Washington, May 14 Tho House of "Representatives 1ms furnl -hcd but ono "Leutcn Moitulnment" tlieso past twi) or tlmo weeks. Appropriation bills are vastly tmpoituiit, but tho consideration of them is not apt to create any ( .cltcmont or provoko very notable matory. Differences of opinion art alwu.is duuloped, buttho discussion of then is almost who v 'Colloquial, auti -i dom eominnnus ioj attention of nioio tlmn a small frac-j Hon of tho members, A division is rarely cal'ed for, and when demanded, I tho question usually aBkcd by thoso ' who havo been giving tho dobato no attention, and who suddenly find thcmsolvos called upon to voto, is "How is tho committco voting." And vvhon that question', is answered, tho rosult in noarly every case is t foro. ono conclusion. It is taken for granted that tho comraltteo especially charged with tho bill in hand has given everything in connection with it careful consideration, and that its conclusions should thcroforo bo sus tained. Tho only mcasuro outsldo of tho most hundrum routine recently before tho Houso has been tho Statehood bill, which was dobated for two days with vory lively interest, but which was finally passed by so largo a Imajorlty that a roll call was not demanded. Tho passago of this bill, by tho wu, is an illustration of the fact that tho IIouso of Representatives is by no moans so wholly under tho domina tion of tho Speaker and tho "leadors" us it is usually represented to bo. It is no secret that Speaker Henderson was earnestly opposod to tho admis sion of any of thejTerrltorles to state hood at this session, and that tho Committer on Territories Was mado up with a viow.to smothering tho propo sition. Rut thoso who figured this way failed to tako into account tho in lluonce of threo mighty bright raon Flynn of Oklahoma, Rodoy of Now Mexico and SmltJof Arizona. These ni-n went to work on that committee, and tno result, greatly to the surprise and not less to tho chagrin of tho Speaker, was a unanimous report favoring tho admission of alt threo of tho Territories named. Under tho rules of tho IIouso such uropoit is a "privileged question," and can thcro foro bo called up at any time without tho aid or consent of tho Speaker, or tho Committco on Rules, or of any body elso In authority. Up to the last moment tho Speaker refused to be llovothat tho majority of tho Houso was In favor of thepassago of tho bill, which Is another illustration of tho old saw that "oven Jupiter sometimes nods." Tho dobato on tho mcasuro proved tho truth also of another say ing, that earnestnoss is tho founda tion of all true eloquence. Ordinarily Mr. Flynn, Mr. Rodey and Mr. Smith aro simply good talkers, expressing themselves fluently enough, but with out tho slightest pretension to ora tory In either diction or manner. Hut tholr whole heart was centered on this bill, and when ono aftor anothor they roso to speak for it, they so forgot themselves in pleading for tholr cause that tholr speeches becamo orations, eloquent with sincerity and conviction, commanding tho undivided attention of tho House, It is doubtful if ono ol them will over again so handsomely acquit himself. As, Is generally known, tho Omnibus bill, as it was called, provided for tho admission of all threo of tho Territories as States. A special soctlon, howovcr, in tho Ok lahoma part of tho bill contains a p'rovlsion that in tho constitution which it is to adopt, tho Stato of Ok lahoma shall express Its consent to tho addition at any future timo of any part or all of tho Indian Torritory. This seemed tho best compromise that could bo mado at this tlmo between thoso who wished Oklahoma and tho Indian Territory to bo joined together now and admitted as ono Stato and thoso who havo insisted thatOklahoma should bo mado a Stato now, and tho Indian Torritory given a territorial organization with a viow to its future admission Into tho Union as a Stato. It will bo six years yet boforo tho In dian titles can bo extinguished, but when that time arrives, It would seem cortainly to bo tho part of wisdom to incorporate tho torritory with Okla homa, so as to form ono strong, rich commonwealth. Vtylo tho proceedings In tho IIouso havo l en tedious and uninteresting, thoso who wero ablo to atloud tho bos- sions of tho Senate have not lacked for entertalnraont. The PhlllpiJino aWefflBuKs 1 quostion has been under discussion in that chamber, and thcro havo been fireworks nearly every day. With tho penchant for blundering which seems to havo becomotho fixed habit of tho Democratic party, tho representa tives of that party in tho Senate have arrayed themselves In unanimous op position to tho measure. Just why it happens, and has always happened, that criticism and denunciation of tho army of tho United States should como exclusively from Democratic sources is something that I will not undertake to explain. But It Is true- now, as it was in tho sixties, that tho army is tho target at which overy Douiocrat seems to regard it his duty to launch his shafts of venom and vituperation. Privates and commanding olllccrs allko aro tho subject of their assaults, tho only dllTorenco being that tho privates are assailed enmasso, whllo tho olllcers aro singled out by name for Individual condemnation. It would bo interesting to institute a parallol between tho speeches that were mado by Voorhees and others of his cluss from 1801 to 180.J, and tho speeches that havo been mado by Democratic Senators during tho past threo months. Tho similarity of sen timent touching tho men who wear tholr country's uniform would cer tainly bo most marked. It is hard to concoivo of any Kan sas Republican who could listen to such speeches day after day without at least uttering a word of protest. Nobody understands better than Sena tor Burton does tho traditions of tho Senate, and when ho camo here It was with tho full purposo of abiding by the unwritten law which forbids a now member to make a set speech during his first session. But Burton Is. a Kansas Republican, and tho tirades of Tillman and Rawlins and Carmack and tholr Democratic. confroros against tho boys who aro lighting their country's battles in tho far East fin ally got onto his norves; nnd when tho Senator from Tenncsseo singled out General Funston as a special target forabuslo attack, Mr. Burton could stand muto no longer. And so last Wednesday and Thursday ho held tho lloor and tho attention of thoso who occupied It, which is a much more dtlllcult matter for threo hours with dome "remarks" which make mighty good leading. For tho most part his speech was a defense eulogy would bo tho better word, because ho needs no defense of General Funston, and it left nothing to bo said on that sub ject. Ho gavo in full tho splendid re cord of our little Brigadier, from tho timowhen ho landed in Cuba to light tho battles of an alien race until ho re turned homo laftor threo years of brilliant service In tho tropics, with tho general's star on his shoulder and with tho acclaim of his countrymen ringing in his cars. Ovor against the malignant chatter of Carmack, assaulting Funston as a valn-glorlous boaster, and uccusinghimof treachery and dishonor, Senator Burton set tho olllclal loports of General Lloyd Wheaton, General McArthur and Gen eral Lawton, eauh of them painting in glowing colors tho splendid daring, tho gallant sorvlces and tho magni ficent leadership of General Funston, iccommeiiding that ho bo given a medal of honor and earnestly urging his promotion. Answering tho chargo that Funston's ciipturo of Agulnaldo had Involved treachery and dishonor, Senator Burton quoted from tho testi mony of General McArthur, in which tho lattor emphatically and proudly avowod hlmsolf responslblo for tho methods Funston had used. Thero was never a moro couiploto and triumphant vindication, and It will bo a bold man who attempts hereafter In olthor houso or Congress to attack tho milUary i coord of Frederick Funston, Passing from tho record of Funston in particular to that of tho army in general Senator Burton paid oloquent tribute to tho men who havo fought tholr country 's battles on land and son, and characterized, as it desorvos, tho unpatriotic attltudo of thoso who for polltloul purposes aro seeking to cast obloquy and reproach upon them. It was a timely speech and a strong one, and at Its close tho Senator te culved tho hearty congratulations of his colleaguos in tho Sonato, and of many mombors of tho IIouso who had como over to hoar him. Nobody has over uccusod "Undo Joe" Cannon of being an orator. It Is doubtful lfhooverinadoa sot speech in the IIouso. Cortainly ho has not dono anything of tho kind for tho last oi aiji.

Neverthe less Ihciu aro few men In tho United States who can stato n proposition moroclearlyand succinctly, or who can put moro argument in a few words. This happy faculty had excellent illustration at Springllold last wcok, where tho old man was renominated for tho sixteenth time by acclamation, (think of that!) and where, in acknow ledging tho honor, ho took occasion to allude to soino of tho measures that havo been before this Couirress. Speaking of tho reciprocity treaty with Cuba, ho said: "What is our duty toward Cuba? Sho cannot mako treaties as other nations. Sho cannot creato debts as other nations. As wo havo become in ono senso her guardian It Is our duty in simploljustico to sec to it that sho has our market for her products in tho United States. How aro you go ing to work it out? Tho Ropublican party will work it out by a reciprocal trado agreement by which, without in jury to any Industry, to any laborer In our borders, her products will como to our markets with a concession that will let them como upon hotter terms than tho products of Germany and other countries como. "In return for such an agrecmont sho would provide that our products would go to her markets on better terms than tho products of other na tions go to her markets. Reciprocal trado. Under that wo would tako most of her products. Under that tho United Slates of America, from mine, and farm, and factory, would furnish her substantially with all that sho de sires to purchase that is not created in hor own borders. It does seem to me under thoso conditions, gontlemen of tho convention, if you will allow mo a homely oxprossion, that any manor auy party, as we say down In central Illinois, that has senso enough to set a hen would see that this is tho right kind of an agreoment to make." That puts tho whole thing In a nut sholl. Nothing more remains to be said to vindicate tho Republlcnn posi tion, and it would seem as If It would not bo worth whllo, after so conclusive a statement, to saj an thing In op position to it. Washington, May ll.-Beforo 1 forget It, let mo remind tho farmers of Allen county of tho long letter I wrote somo months ago, describing in dotail tho Campbell soil culture system. Stated In briefest posslblo form tho Campbell system means simply that tho surfnco of tho ground must bo al ways kopt In as nearly a pulvoried condition as possible, tho idea being that a dust mulch permits tho ratu which falls to sink Into tho ground In stead of running oil as it would from a hard surface, and prevents the rapid evaporation of soil moisture. I havo taken occasion to discuss this matter with all tho oxports In tho Agricul tural Department lioro, and without exception tlioy endorso It, and givo It asthelr opinion that in sections of the country where '.hero Is any danger whatever of a deficient rainfall, It Is of tho highest Importance that the surfaco of tho ground bo kept as nearly pulverized as possible I would not presume to glvo advlco on my own authority In this mattor, but tho (opinion of men who havo mado soil culture tho business of tholr lives Is certainly worthy of consideration. When tho war taxes wero removed by act of Congress, it was provided very properly that tho government should redeem unused bank checks upon which tho two cent tax had been paid. In ordor that this redemption Jmay bo made, tho holders of tho chocks are required to send them to Washington In ordor that they may bo counted and can celled. This work Is dono under tho direction of tho Comlssioner of Inter nal Revenue, and having occasion to call on that olllclal recently, I was in terested in loarning that ho Is already in recolpt of moro than 200 tons of un used checks sont In for cancellation and rodomptlon, and this amount is being added to dally by tho receipt of thousands of pounds. A forco of about fifty clocks has been engaged In tho work of counting and cancella tion for tho last sovon orolghtinonths, and will probably bo busy for at loast a yoar to come. When It Is remem bered that tho banks of tho countn had reason to believe for nearly a yoar In advanco that tho law would bo repealed, and on that account kopt tholr supply of stamped checks as low as posslblo, tho fact that tho quantity of unused checks on hand when tho law was at last repealed should amount to hundreds of tons Is another and a most striking Illustration of tho blgnoas of this country.

TJ'M ""MHII '" WHERE INSTINCT SAVES St, Loulsfilobc-Dcmocrat Tho superiority of Instinct ovor reason In certain crises hasl been strikingly displayed In tho caso of the calamities In tho islands (of Mar tinique and St. Vincent. It Is related by survivors from thesceno of thojdovas tatcd islands that tho birds, beasts and reptiles lied from tho neighbor hood of tho craters soveral days be fore tho cataclysm camo. This phe nomenon, whllo noticed at tho time, did not attract any special attention. It had no message at ull for tho poo plo In tho vlolnUyof tho danger points boforo tho outburst. Some of tho sur vivors recall tho warning now with a melancholy interest, Science, too, rhoved Itself J to bo bltud In contrust with this prosclcnce of the birds and beasts. A commis sion of savants appointed by tho authorities of that locality mado an examination of Mount Poleo shortly boforo tho explosion, and, although there wero signs which ovorybody can now seo portended tho coming errup tlon, tlioy declared that thero was no danger. Tho governor of tho island immediately Issued a proclamation to this olTect, and tho sighs which tho kindling volcanic tiros on tho moun tain wroto across tho faco of tho sky at night went for naught. Tho scien tists und tho governor showed tho courage and conlldenco of their igno rance, and remained on tho ground and polished when, tho outburst camo.

(The pooplo of Pompeii, like those of Martinique and St. Vincent, wore going about their usual vocations, unsuspicious of peril until destruction camo, although tho portents wero iplaln to tho birds and beasts. Macaulay tolls the story in an effective way how, when ' "Vosu vlous groaned with wrath supprest," the eagles, foxos, Igoats and other members of the bruto creation lied to places of safety, whllo tho higher order of beings remained, as at tho Islands of tho Caribbean, until tho crash and bla.o of doom swept them away.
