An Old Story.

The action of Representative Cummings of New York city, a Democrat, in voting with the Republicans of the house a few days ago for an appropriation of $500,000 to build quarters for our troops serving in the Philippines was a repetition of the old story of a Democrat forced by motives of patriotism to vote against his party. It was in solemn truth a terrible indictment of his party when with intense earnestness, he said: “When I refuse to Vote to protect the lives of American soldiers, I hope I shall be paralyzed.” *
