Sro.vii will catch flies, but a tariff of 40 per cent on sugar will not catch manv votes.
THE Democratic party in Oregon was a bad third, the Republican majority over the Democratic being about 25,000.
Tine only thing that has gone Democratic this year is the A njux-Xeirs. The Democrats carried it by an overwhelming majority.
SKNATOK BIUCE declares that lie has not been speculating in sugar stocks: but then he talked the same way, it will be remembered, about the imt merit, which made him a Senator.
RICK is to have protection to the extent of s:s
per cent, advalorem duty
while wheat goes on the free list. Rice is in a trust but wheat is not. The trusts own the Democratic party.
75AI.M of Gilead and dragon's blood have been placed on the free list. If there is anything that the Democracy is honing for just now it is free Balm of Giliad, and as for free dragon's blood, the people have been crying for it.
EDWIN EINSTKIN, Republican candidate for Mayor of New Yoi City, former member of Congress and a leading Hebrew, his family for years manufacturing woolen goods in New Jersey. says: "The Democrats will hear from New York State this year. It would not surprise me if New York were to go Republican by 200,000."
Tin-: A rjui•i-Xeivs defends the Senate for placing barbed wire on the free list. Can that paper explain why barbed wire is placed on the free list and the raw materials which enter into its manufacture, such as plain wire and steel billets, are placed on the dutiable list? Did not the Democratic platform declare in favor of free raw materials'.' In this instance why did the Senate place on duty the raw materials and put the finished product on the free list? The Aryiifi-Xcies is an adopt if it can show the consistency between the platform and the action of the Senate.
EDITOI WATTF/RSON, of the Louisville Conricr-.hiurmiL and Editor Cott'man, of the Crawfordsville ^1 riux-Xacs, are not in agreement as to the Senate tariff bill. Editor Coft'man says: "When it is finally acted on by the House and becomes a law, it will be all that was promised." On the other hand Editor •\Yatterson remarks: "The tariff bill which is about to pass the Senate is abominable. Practically, it will yield the consumer little, if any, relief. It presents the Democratic party in the character both of a fool and a fraud, crippling the cause without a shadow of compensation."
On, H. HAMILTON*, editor of the Thorntown Anjus. is a candidate for the nomination for Representative before the Republican convention of ltoone county. Mr. Hamilton is a Montgomery county product and was raised on a farm near Bowers. For some years he has been the editor of the-1 n/ii.v in which capacity he has exhibited marked abilities as a newspaper man. That he would honorably and ably represent the "State of l'.oone" in the Legislature goes without saying. The Republicans of that county could not do better than make Gil Hamilton their standard bearer.
ONE of the best features of the MeKinlev law is the reciprocity clause. Under it the United States had entered into reciprocal relations with Spain whereby by reason of the free admission of sugar from Cuba into this country, certain of our products were to be admitted free into the islands and the duties on many other articles greatly reduced. The trade between Cuba and the United States had greatly increased and was constantly increasing. Since the Senate has adopted the sugar schedule imposing a duty on Cuban sugar thereby violating the treaty stipulations the Spanish government has taken steps to impose an ad valorem duty of 24 per cent upon all goods imported into Cuba from the United States including the articles on the free list of the reciprocity treaty negotiated by Mr. Blaine. Of course the passage of the bill by the Spanish cortes will be a severe blow to American commerce with Cuba. Hut this would not have occurred had not the Democratic Congress taken the first step toward abrogating the treaty.

Tt is a well known fact that for some time among leading Democrats there has been considerable dissatisfaction with their newspaper's—the Review and the Star—both of which claimed to be the organs of the Democracy in this count}*. This dissatisfaction has been manifested in various ways. Many prominent Democrats made no concealment of their disgruntlement. 'While perhaps they had no just grounds for their dissatisfaction, yet the fact existed. Potli the Review and the Shir are newspapers conducted with more than average ability. It has been no fault of the theirs that the party was not given better newspapers, as no newspaper is so good but its own editor can see room for improvement. Had they, or either, received the support which they deserved, and had their efforts to make acceptable newspapers been appreciated, it would have been an encouragement to still further improve their plants. It is not surprising, therefore, that the A njux-Xewx should throw off its "handicap" as a "non-partisan" paper and come out as a straight Democratic organ. This is the result of the strong pressure that has been brought to bear against the editor by this dissatisfied element. These gentlemen knew that Mr. Coffman was a life long Democrat, and that all his sympathies and inclinations were in favor of that party. They were well aware of the fact that he would sacrifice no conviction nor surrender any principle in order to manage and edit a Democratic newspaper. This transition from a "non-partisan" to a partisan Democratic paper therefore was an easy step for the editor of Arfjutt-Xcics. In its new relations to the public THE JOUHXAI. bids it godspeed and trusts that it may "fill a long felt want," whether that "want" be real or imaginary. The fight for supremacy will now be among the three organs. The shrewdest politician and the busiest hustlar will get there, and it is easy to predict that the Anjw-Xcwx will not bring up the rear of the procession.
"The wind blew east. The wind blew west. And the wind blew over the CUCKOO'S nest." THE Anjus-Xcws in its new born zeal rushes to the defense of Congress in a most apologizing way for its slowness in disposing of the tariff bill. Like a well trained and full-grown cuckoo it says the Senate bill "when it is finally acted on by the House and becomes a law it will be all that was promised." In this respect it differs from the leading Democratic papers of the country all of which denounce the Democratic Senators for having surrendered to the trusts. particularly the sugar trust. Some of the most aggressive and bitter denunciations of the sugar scandal, and of the men concerned in it, are found in the columns of leading Democratic newspapers. And all that the Aryus-
Xcim can say will not assuage the wrath of the people, nor will the offense of the Democratic Senators be condoned by adding hundreds of millions to the. cost of sugar to the peoiile of the United States in order that the fortunes of these same Democratic Senators might be augmented.
SINCE the 1st of March a tidal wave of home-sickness and discontent seems to have swept over the Scandinavian and Italian residents of Chicago. In some neighborhoods entire families are packing up their belongings and taking passage to the fatherland. It is estimated that no less than S,000 have left that city during the last two months. On the other hand the immigration is practically nothing. It would be a good thing for this country if the emigration would increase and the immigration cease altogether.
THE New Orleans Platyunc predicted, a short time ago, that the wild cat money bill would pass the House by an overwhelming majority. If the Piedyunc had only consulted Mr. Brooltsliire, of the Eighth Indiana district, it might have saved itself the humiliation of this great blunder. The Picayuitc now sees that Democratic platforms are made only to be ripped up into kindling wood and not to stand on. Hrookshire knows a Democratic plank when he sees it, and kicks it out of his way. He is now for "incidental protection" and sound money.
WHEAT, corn and oats are placed on the free list by the Senate tariff bill, but barley has a 30 per cent, ad valorem import duty. This discrimination in favor of barley was made in the interest of the brewers' trust. When there is a trust demanding consideration the Democratic Senators can be depended*upon to favor it.
WHEN the sugar trust tariff bill gets into the House, what will Brooksliire do? Will he stand by it and vote to make his constituents pay a tariff of 40 per cent, on sugar? We should delight to hear him going about the country howling for free tin plate and a duty of 40 per cent, on sugar.
THE three organs should now consolidate and hyphenate. The Review-Star-A njux-Xews would look well in print. It will be noticed that priority is given to seniority. With Luse as political editor, Coffinan as city editor, and Keeney as business manager, as an organ it would be a corker. tt v-
SEVEN hundred thousand circular inquires for information relating to the tariff were sent broadcast over the country by the Senate Finance Committee. Already over 100.000 replies have been received. More than .'{.000 of these answers have been edited and are now in print. They are published in 22 small pamphlets, known as bulletins, and relate to the chemical, earthenware and glassware, metal and wood schedules. Even these four schedules occupy about 3,000 pages, and it is said to be a conservative estimate that if all the matter which has already been received is published, no less than in. 000'pages will have to be printed. These bulletins are the greatest collection of protection literature in existence, !0 per cent, being a protest against change. This is especially true of the replies which have been received from tht? manufacturers, but it is also asserted that of the 10.000 inquiries which were sent to labor organizations only a small proportion favor any change. And yet the farce at the Capitol still goes on.
THE Revie.t- is evidently disgusted with the Senate. It says that "Senators Harris, Yoorliees, llriee and other Democratic leaders have shown themselves to be incompetent in their management of the tariff bill." and that "they are becoming the laughing stock of the country on account of their seeming complete want of knowledge, determination and willingness to carry thorough tariff legislation." It furthermore says that "the wisest thing they could do now would be to have the bill withdrawn for this session" and "permanently retire a number of Senators who have aided so continuously for months past in bringing the party to the brink of ruin." The Review is anything but a cuckoo. Its Democracy is of the regular old Ragged Reuben brand.
WHEN the hodg-e-podg-e tariff bill gets through the»Senate, and goes back to the House, Mr. Wilson will have an opportunty of doing as the late Sunset Cox did, at one time in the same body, after a bill he had introduced had been amended and patched beyond recognition. Mr. Cox, at the proper stage, rose and said: "Mr. Speaker, my bill has been nibbled to pieces by pismires and kicked to death by grasshoppers. I now offer the original measure as a substitute." The House broke into a laugh and passed the original bill.
NOTWITHSTANDING the coolcoo soiig of the Anjux-Xewx it is a well known fact that there are not ten men on the Democratic side of the Senate who are satisfied with the tariff bill as it stands, and, although the Republicans are doing all the talking and offering all the opposition to the measure, they are a -great deal better pleased with it than the men who made it. They are thankful for the protection features that are left in the bill.
I'KOF. W. M. SI.OANE, of l'rinceton. who has been engaged for the past four ears, on a new "Life of Napoleon," for the Century magazine, has just sailed for France, and will complete his manuscript there during the summer. Two members of the Century staff are now in l'aris, arranging for the illustrations to accompany this biography.
AND Germany, too, objects to the sugar trust amendment to the Senate tariff bill. The Germans regard the violation of the reciprocity treaty with that country as an act of bad faith on the part of the American government, and will retaliate by x-eimposing the embargo against our pork and other agricultural products.
THE editor of the Star is quoted as saying that it was Brookshire's money that carried the Arijus-Xewx into the Democratic camp. Was it a specific or an advalorem schedule, or a polariscopic valuation?
