Brownsville Resolution.
Wber. i he Brownsville resolution
war laid before the .Sena’.,- Mr. Mal-
lovv. of Florida, discussed, the legal
questions involved in the Freaident’s
discharge of the negro troops. Mr.
Mallorf offered a substitute for the
compromise Brownsville resolution,
prerented yesterday by Mr. Koraker.
The resolution of .Mr. Mallory provided
for an Investigation after resolving
•s follows:
’’That in the Judgment of the Sen
ate the recent action of the President
1n diecharging without honor enlisted
m'n of companies B. C and D of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry, was within the
scope of his authority and power, and
fhe proper exercise thereof "

8enator Teller opposed the Idea ad
vanced In a recent speech by Senator
T<odge that the President ‘Inherited
power from the king” This was a
new doctrine, and the Colorado Sen
ator said he could see how it might
become popular in some localities.
Senator Bacon Rapa ’Em.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, supported
rtie Mallory substitute. He character
ised the agreement among the Repub
licans on the Koraker resolution as an
Illustration of their "extreme dexterity
In forming measures for which they
ran all vote, although .some of them
arc directly opposed in sentiment, as
1n the matter to which that resolu
tion relates."
The Foraker resolution, he declared
to be equivocal and ambiguous. When
Mr. Bacon remarked that If the Presi
dent waa content with s compromise a
In such language on which those who j
were opposed and supported him could
unite, Mr. Aldrich asked "Did I under
stand the Senator to say that the ques
tion whether the President is content
with the resolution is the main ques
tion ?”
Mr. 'Bacon replied that he thought
and had sakl that what the President
might think was far from the import
ant feature, ''and,” he added. "I think
the Senator from Rhode Island had but
one purpose in his question and that
was for me to emphasize what I had
said to the contrary."
Foraker Replies to Bacon.
Replying to Mr. Bacon’s argument.
Mr. Foraker reviewed the history of
the Brownsville controversy to the j
Senate to show the question of the
President’s power hud been raised by I
the message the President had sent to I
the Senate on December 17. last. Mr.
Koraker maintained that from the be
ginning all he had contended for w^s
'he facts. I
Mr Bacon said 1n reply that while
he whb far from being an advocate of
ihe President, ho believed the language
proposed in the Koraker resolution
was an Injustice to the President. Mr.
Baron wanted an opportunity to vote
directly on the question whether the
President had the legal power to dis
charge the negro troops and on the
question of tabling the resolution. He
spoke of the affray at Brownsville as
"an unspeakable outrage."
A roll call was taken on Mr. Pnrak-
er's motion to lay the Mallory substi
tute on the table. This motion pre
vailed—■43' to 22. Messrs. McCumber,
Warner and LaKollette voted with the
Democrats and Messrs. Teller and Till
man with the Republicans.
Stons Reviews Tillman's “Humor.”
Mr. Stone took occasion to review
Senator Tillman's "attempt at humor”
yesterday. He said he had taken no
offense at the reference to himself in
Mr. Tillman's characterization of the
Senate as :t ‘"minstrel troupe" and was
sorry the Senator from Tennessee (Mr.
Carmack) and the Senate had elimi
nated It from the Record. He was op
posed to having the Record "a tomb
fbr platitudes" and he hoped Senator
Tl'Jmsn would reconsider his resolu
tion "not to do so again.’’ hut would
“soften his tone." and make many fu
ture attempts.
Senator Culberson proposed a substi
tute which provided for no investiga
tion, but simply resolved that the
President was authorized by law and
Justified by the facts in dismissing the
negro troupe. Explaining the need for
the resolution, he said the whole ques
tion waa now In the hands of Senators
who opposed or denied the authority or
right of the position of the President.
The Culberson substitute was tabled
bv a vote of 46 to 19.
A vote on the Koraker resolution was
then token and without a roll call the
resolution was declared adopted. The
resolution was referred to the com
mittee to audit and control the con
tingent expenses of the Senate In order
to secure authority for the expenditures
of the inquiry, whereupon Mr. Kean,
chairman of that committee, imme
diately announced he had been author
ized hy that committee to make a fav
orable report on the resolution and this
report was agreed to. This action con-
tndeded the subject preliminary to the
nvcstigatlon authorized.

stood the changeable climate of the

“I have always been a very healthy

began to make their appearance in this
country I was a sufferer from this dis
ease.
“I had several long sieges with the

was epidemic catarrh, I tried Peruna
fer la grippe and found it to be just
the thing.”

Hon. Martin V. Calvin. Augusta, Ga.—
My Dear Sir: I want to thank you
most heartily for your very full de
scription of the plan of the agricultural
schools which Georgia has just adopt
ed. It seems to me that this is a most
significant movement. I feel certain
that Georgia has taken a step of the
greatest possible significance for agri
cultural education. Of course, I am
not familiar with the precise agricul
tural conditions in Georgia, but I feel
that the inauguration of these schools,
provided they are made genuinely ag
ricultural, must be of incalculable
value.. I hope you will succeed in so
organizing the schools that the atmos
phere in them will forever be an agri
cultural atmosphere. I hope they will
be thoroughly permeated with the. ag
ricultural idea. I hope also that you
will succeed' in" your insistence that
they shall not attempt to become col
leges. but shall remain substantially
schools of agriculture. If you can do
this, you will have succeeded in fur
nishing what I have for some years
called the “missing link in agricultural
education.”
These schools should be attended by
thousands of young men who cannot
afford the time and money to go to the
agricultural college, but who want to
get in touch with modern agriculture.
They should, also be attended by hun
dreds of young men who will find there
the best preparation for the agricul
tural college. The agricultural college
ought to approve mightily of this ad
dition to the educational resources of
the State.
I congratulate you and the splendid
State of Georgia on this great piece of
legislation. Y'ou are at liberty to util
ize this letter in any way you may sec
fit. Yours truly,
KENYON L. BUTTERFIELD,,
President.

To the Editor of The Telegraph: I
take the liberty of requesting you to
publish a letter recently received by
me from Dr. Kenyon L. Butterfield, the
scholarly and distinguished president
of the Massachusetts College of Agri
culture at Amherst.
Dr. Butterfield's endorsement of the
Georgia idea as t’> agricultural educa
tion will awaken ready and- favorable
response from thinking men East and
Yi'est. Indeed. I may say that the en
dorsement has already been antici
pated.
Dr. Butterfield's strong letter will be
move highly appreciated when your
readers are told tliai. at the request of
the senior c. iu.-s of the Massachusetts
College of Agriculture he will take
■ime during the balance of the semes
ter to deliver to the seniors a series of
lecture-- on ‘Rural Sociology." The
subjects to be treated are: "Effects of
Country Life on Individual and Na
tional Character." "Meaning of Rural
Isolation and Its Remedies," "Farmers’
One of the most Important details con

arrangement of pictures. These form one
of the best ornaments for a room

J picture looks its best when hung directly
opposite to a window, as then the light

least important should be kept for this
position.
As to the arrangement of the frames

principles of artistic composition. The
final effect should be harmonious: there
should be repose, unity, subordination,

of equal height and frames in pah's siioura
be avoided. Dividing the wall down a
j part, one-half should not be exact fac-

i portion must be attained.
