BARTLETT’S OBJECTIONS . The Hcuse yesterday passed the District of Columbia appropriation bill, with the charity amendments as proposed by the comniittee and published heretofore in The Ster. One hour’s debate was allowed, forty-five minutes of it being allowed to the opposi- tion to the bill. : Mr. Bartlett's Opposition. Mr. Bartlett of New York, in opposing the amendments, said: “Now, what is the question before the House today? I say that to the newly re- ported bill we find two salient objections. The bill, you will find upon examination, cuts out every specific appropriation for charities, but g the whole sum, amount- ing to some $4,700, to the Commissioners of this District to be expended according to their discretion. In other words, the com- mittee on appropriations say: ‘We are too cowardly; we dare not exercise our legiti- mate legislative functions; we dare not ap- propriate this money to these specffic char- ities, but we throw the whole onus, the whele burden, upon the Commissioners of this District and authorize them to expend this roney as they see fit.” The Rider. “What is the other objection? It is the provision, the ‘rider,’ which is in its nature similar to one of the planks of the platform of the American Protective Association. I refer to the sixth article of the creed of the American Protective Association, which de- clares that— “We condemn the support, out of the public treasury, by direct appropriation or by contract, of any sectarian school, re- formatory or other institution, not owned er controlled by the public authority.” “I say that the provision now submitted to the House for approval, contained in these words: “‘Provided further, That no part of the money herein appropriated shall be paid for the purpose of maintaining or aiding, by payment for services or expenses, or otherwise, any church or religious denomi- nation, or any institution or society which is under sectarian or ecclesiastical con- trol— “I say that this ‘rider,’ this new provision inserted in this appropriation bill, is in es- sence the same as the plank of the Ameri- can Protective Association to which I have just called attention. I wish the members of this House could read the recent exult- ant article contained in the Illustrated American, signed by a member of the American Protective Association, in which he denounces every one who'believes in the Roman Catholic creed, and says in refer- ence to the A. P. A.: “It wields the balance of power in Con- gress today.’ “Now, gentlemen, the position I take is this: For years these charities have grown up in this District; for many years we have had in force the system of making specific and special appropriations for the benefit of these various institutions; we have appro- priated money to these institutions, be- cause they have been found to be excel- lent in character and efficient in their working capacity. These appropriations have been made without regard to the creed or thegpect to which it might be claimed any oné of these institutions belonged.” Mr. Wheeler's Objections. Mr. Wheeler of Alabama also opposed the amendment, and said: “I contend that it is a dangerous innova- tion for Congress to legislate in any man- ner about religion. I do not doubt the good intentions of the gentlemen who framed this bill, but the history of the world shows that all persons who have attacked the cause of religion in any form have believed trey were actuated by the best possible in- temtions. Certainly no one will question that in his persecutions of the Christians before his own conversion St. Paul was actuated by the best intentions. It is even eentended by historians that Nero, Trajan, Diocletian and other Roman emperors thought they were serving the gods they worshiped when they tried to destroy Chris- tianity. “I suppose that no one will deny but that tke Mohammedan Turks believe that they are obeying the mandates of the God they worship in the cruel crimes now being com- mitted by them. I by no means charge the gentleman responsible for this objectionable clause with an intentional wrong or any in- tention to assault the Christian religion or any intention to injure that sacred cause, but according to them, if you please, ex- cessive religious zeal, I with confidence pre- dict that this action is of a character which enlightened history will some day denounce as a species of religious persecution, ani- mated by the same spirit of intolerance which actuates the Turks in the murders of the Christian Armenians and which actu- ated the persecutors in the darkest days of the inquisition. Legislation on Religion. “It was to prevent reople with good inten- tions assailing the Christian religion and Christian forms and Christian worship that our forefathers placed the restriction in the Constitution. It may be contended, Mr. Speaker, that this ‘measure does not violate it; but what is the fact? Here are a num- ber of institutions; some under religious control, and some not. Ninety thousand dollars is appropriated, and then a proviso is put in that none of this $90,000 shall be used for those institutions which are con- trolled by religious or ecclesiastical denom- inations. That is an inhibition of religion. It is legislation upon religion; and if we es- tablish a preceent of legisiation upon re- ligion in one form it is a precedent which may be used to violate every purpose which waz sought to be prevented when our Con- stitution was framed, and might finally de- stroy religion itself.” Mr. Grout Defends the Amendment. Mr. Grout of Vermont defended the amendment, and said: “Mr. Speaker, there is left me only one minute in which to close this debate, but that is all that is necessary. I deny that this amendment is an attack on the Roman Catholic Church. If so, the democratic party in 1876 made an attack on the Roman Catholic Church, because they put into their rational platform precisely the same prin- ciple contained in the limitation to the ex- penditure of the money herein appropriated. That whole charge is false. It is an attack CAA . ” ‘Solid Food is Not Necessary, Was once remarked by one of our greatest legal practitioners, the Hon. Luther Lafflin Mills of Chicago. “While trying an important case in court,” said he, “and remembering that my physician said that JO- HANN HOFF’S MALT EX- TRACT was the only true substitute for solid food, I tried a bottle of that delicious tonic every noon. I found it imparted a warmth and vigor. The heavy, dull feeling, and lethargy produced by a hearty meal was ob- viated, and I was enabled to do more and better work. As a tonic the Génuine JOHANN HOFF’S MALT EXTRACT stands _pre- eminent.” Ask for the Genuine JOHANN HOFF’S MALT EXTRACT. Avoid substitutes. ‘Thyroldi a ‘ ine, ul Tol .

P. A. Mr. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts opposed the amendment. “It has been stated,” said Mr. Fitzgerald, “that members of the A. P. A. organization pever made any opposition at all to the appropriations for these institutions until the night before, and then they bombarded the committee room and insisted upon the appropriations ‘for these institutions being stricken out. “The animus of this organization,” he proceeded, ‘‘is well known. Members of the House have been importuned, not in the interest of justice, of freedom, or of a broad spirit of liberality and American- ism, to oppose this bill because it appro- priated money for Catholic institutions. I stand upon this floor born and bred a Ro- man Catholic, and proud of !t, and I deny the right of any secret, oath-bound organi- zation to come before the legal representa- tives of the American people, and by its dark, deep, underhand methods, seek to Geprive me and the members of the re- ligion which I profess of the honest rights and privileges and dues of American citi- zenship. What apology is there for a Roman Catholic to live in this country? Is one necessary? Look at the deeds of bravery and heroism and statesmanship that have teen performed by Roman Catholics. “I challenge any member of the A. P. A. organization in this House, or any mem- ber in sympathy with it, to name any sphere in life or any public duty that has been badly filled or illy performed by mem- bers of the Roman Catholic Church. In the great war of the revolution Washing- ton had no firmer friends or firmer sup- ports than the Roman Catholic members of his staff; and when we look at the great raval struggle, which was the pride and gicry of the American people at that time, the first name that springs to our lips is that of an Irishman, a Roman Catholic, Captain John O’Brien, who achieved the first great naval victory of the war off the coast of Maine. It was not asked whether Kosciusko or Pulaski or Lafayette were Catholics when the thirteen colonies were struggling for their independence. At that time could you find any fanatics? At that time could you find persons stealthily creeping around from one end of the coun- try to the other in secrecy intriguing against a man’s religion? In Case of War. “I know we talk about the breadth and liberality of the American people in these days; why, sir, it is not to be compared with the breadth and liberality and wis- dom that were exhibited in these times. My friends, if we should have war with England on acocunt of the Venezuelan mat- ter, or war with Spain on account of the Cuban matter, where would the members of this. famous organization be—where would they be found? They would be found in the same place and under the same auspices that they were found in the war of the re- bellion, taking the steamers for Nova Scotia to put themselves under the pro- tection of Queen Victoria and the British flag. Those would be the conditions that would exist, and those are the conditions that always exist when people try to strike with a knife in the back. I wish to quote Bere our martyred Lincoln, who, in 1859, said: “I am not a know nothing, that is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes be in favor of degrading any class of white peo- ple? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we be- gan by declaring that ‘all men are created equal.’ We now read it, ‘except negroes and foreigners and Catholics.’ When it comes to this I shall prefer emigrating to scme country where they make no pretense of loving liberty—to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.” In conclusion he quoted, amid a round of 2pplause, the famous lines of Longfellow, beginning: “Thou, too, sail on, O ship of state, Sail on, O Union, strong and great, Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate.” Mr. McRae’s Proposition. Mr. McRae of Arkansas opposed the amendment, and said: “This ‘agraph looks to me as if Con- gress were now turning its attention in the Girection in which I have insisted it ought te have gone years ago—that of providing some rational and just system of public charities in the District of Columbia. The committee has not proposed a complete and Permanent system, as it should have done; yet if the provision be amended as I have Froposed it will put the whole of the appro- priations in the hands of and under the con- trol of the District Commissioners and treat all private institutions alike.” Mr. McRae’s amendment was to transpose the non-sectarian proviso, but was ruled out of order by the Speaker. — ee The Proposed Legisintive Council. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Now that the Federation of Labor has authorized its legislative committee “to in- vite the co-operation of the different citi- zers’ associations in the District of Colum- bia in forming a legislative council, consist- ing of a joint committee from all of the organizations, for the purpose of consider- ing and drafting such legislation as the mutual interest of the community may re- quire, such proposed legislation to be sub- mitted for the approval and ratification of the several bodies represented, with the view of memorializing Congress in support of such measures as may be ultimately agreed on,” it is to be hoped that the prac- ticability of the plan proposed will be care- fully considered by the different associa- tions to which the invitation of the Federa- tion is thus addressed. In my opinion such a body, properly con- stituted and representing all interests and sections, and giving their attention only to reasures that are of general interest to the public et large and not countenancing Ineasures solely in thé interest of a particu- lar section or class, would be a powerful force in securing needed legislation for the District. ¢ There are many reasons why Congress does not give the affairs of the District the consideration they are justly entitled to. Apart from the want of interest felt by trany of our national legislators in the wel- fare and needs of the District, and because of the political interests of still other mem- bers of Congress, is the fact that so many measures are introduced by one section of the community without considering either the interests or rights of other sections of our city. These measures, too, are often proposed in such shape that a proper con- sideration of their merits consumes more time than the Commissioners cr members of Congress can give them. ‘The proposed council can in a great meas- ure remedy the existing evils of our present. methods by considering and drafting such measures as will be practically in the in- terests of the community at large, and in presenting such proposed legislation to Con- gress the council can at the same time fur- nish a report- embodying the facts—the needs of such legislation, the change to be effected in the laws, and collecting the nec- essary statistics. Together with the objec- tions advanced by such interests as may be involved. Measyres presented in this way will in many inStances relieve the commit- tees of Congress from the necessity of fur- ther investigation and measures may un- der such a system become laws in less time than it now takes to get a hearing before the congressional committees. E. M. BLAKE. ae RESTORED TO FAVOR. Grand Duke Michael in the Czars Good Graces. ‘The daughter of the Grand Duke Michael, son of the Grand Duke Michgel-Nicolaivitch, was baptized in the Russian church at Can- nes, France, yesterday, the Prince of Wales | and the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg- Schwerin being her sponsors. The marriage of Grand Duke Michael, morganatically, at San Remo, on February 26, 1891, to Countess von Merenberg, a davghter of Prince Nicholas of Nassau by his morganatic marriage with Pushkin’s daughter, gave great offense to the Czar Alexander, and resulted in the grand duke’s dismissal from the army, etc., but Grend Duke Michael has been completely Testored to favor by the present czar. 5 Parliament Again in Session. ‘The British house of commons reassembled yesterday after the Easter holidays, but many of the members are still out of town.
