WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15,1900. Democrats in this city aro watching tho Kentucky contest with tho gravest interest on account of the effect it is likely to have on tho next campaign. lt is nn\? to be quite within tho bounds of possibility that events in that State during the next sixty days will deter mino who shall be declared President next Fall. Advices from Frankfort state that the Republicans are prepar ing to resist the seating of Mr. (Jeebel by force of arms, with the obvious in tention ol' giving the administration nu excuse for marching troops into the State to preserve order. It is no se cret that Democrats generally over tim country look askance at the ?oebel law and regret that it should ever have been enacted, lint matters have pass ed far beyond that stage at present. According to tho constitution of the State, it is strictly within the power of thc Legislature to decide that Taylor is not entitled to bia scat and that (Jo bel is. Whether just or unjust-and in the opinion of fair minded Kentuckians it is entirely just-sucha course is per fectly legal. To resist it, will be to re sist the fundamental law of tho State, and will be absolutely hopeless be sides. The Republicans know this, but if they can create such a disturb ance as to necessitate the sending of troops, they will lay the foundation for the throwing out of th?' electoral vote of Kentucky this fall on the ground that the State has not "a Republican form (d' government.'1 Tho danger of such a proposition in an election which will be us close as that of this Fall will be, is apparent. The Tucker act, pass ed in 1887, gives the House; of Represen tatives power to throw out the vote of a State or even to count it for the oth er side in case of fraud. That mana gers so unscrupulous as the Republi cans have shown themselves tobe, will hesitate to invoke this law if they can lind colorable ground for their action, is not to be doubted for an instant. The only hope lies in the smallness of the Republican majority in the House, and in the probability that certain Re publicans will prefer j ustice to parti sanship. Thero is little doubt that the Democrats will carry the next House, no matter how tho Presidency may go. The passage of the currency bill will really he a good thing for the party, removing the silver question from the domain of practical issues for thc next four years at the least and enabling the gold Democrats to como back to tho party, as, indeed, many of them have done already. The bill will be of advantage in another way, also, as it is conceded that it will lose the Kepub licans nt least five seats in tho next Senate-those from Montana, Nebras ka, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado and it will probably lose them three more two years from now-from Ken tucky, North Carolina and Maryland. The loss of the five first this Fall would still leave the Republicans with a ma jority of six, but the loss of the three last, two years later, would divido the Senate evenly. The speech of Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, iu the United States Senate ou Tuesday, marks the advent into the national arena of probably tho most forceful debater on the Republican side of tho chamber. The eloquence with which he presented the Philippine situation was so striking that it carried away those who beard it, but he did not touch tho heart of the controversy at all, and when his eloquence is for gotten, no solid substratum will remain in the memory. He sketched with forceful strokes the great wealth of tho islands, present and prospective, tho alleged illimitable Chinese markets that their control opened to the United Suites; argued that the Filipinos were not fitted for solf government and de clared that the Constitution was ex pansive and would not stand in thc way of the United States in governing them. But he said nothing as to tho rights of the people who hnd battled for liberty for three centuries, nothing as to the methods by which this coun try had acquired control, nothing as to the "consent of the governed.'' His argument was addressed wholly to American greed and not to American morality. Former Senator Quay's friends are now appealing to Democratic Senators to support him on tho ground that he aided them several years ago in defeat ing the "force" bill. If Mr. Quay could prove his claims he would undoubtedly win the sympathy if not the support of several Senators. But the record is against him. Tho force bill was fath ered in the House by Mr. Dod gi-, of Massachusetts. Aided by Speaker Reed, ho pushed it through that body under party whip and spur. In the Senate it was championed by Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, who is now, like Lodge, in favor of seating Quay. Hoar hy turns, stormed and threatened, pleaded and begged, in his effort to wyu*h ? vote. Ho -?alu have succeed ed but for the fact that certain Repub licans were quietly opposed to the bill. Finally, on Jannary 22, 1801, ono of these, Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, moved that the Senate lay aside the force bill and take np the bill to reap portion Representatives in Congress In accordance with the Census of 1890. Dolph, of Oregon, moved to lay Wol cott's motion on tho table. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote re sulted ss follows: Yeas, 84; nays, 85. The question was then on tho adoption of Wolcott's motion. The result was: Yeas, 85; nays, 84. So Wolcott's motion was carried. The effect of this was to displace the force bill as unfinished business before the Senate and replace it with the Reapportionment bili, tho force bill going back toits place on tho Calendar. The long fight against tho force bill was won, that Iniquitous measure not coming up again tor de bate. On both votes Mr. Quay's name appears in favor of continuing to dis cuss the bil!.

Stribling, situated on "his farm about two miles from town, was destroyed by lire on Saturday night, thc 13th, at 10:30 o'clock. The origin of the lire is a mystery. The building was insured in the (Jennee Brotherhood and was occupied by T. S. Stribling, who was recently married, and had newly furnished thc house. Nothing was saved except some cloth? ingand thero was no insurance on the furniture, consequently the loss was a heavy one, there being also a good sum of money lost with a good deal of solid silverware. The lire was not discover? cd until the house was falliug in and the occupants barely escaped.
