FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25. 1896

THE revision of the existing revenue law is the first step toward procuring a perfect restoration of confidence in the commercial world.

UNCLK SAM sent off to foreign ports over 3.500.000 bushels of corn last •week. Europe is just beginning to learn the value of corn for bread.

Tim Chickamauga Park Commission has purchased the battle-field on Lookout Mountain, practically completing a iDobt interesting and beautiful national park.

THE Board of Pension Examiners has been placed under civil service rules, and in many places there is great dissatisfaction among the soldiers, as this insures the retention of those now in office.

HON. TOM WATSON, one of the tails to Bryan's kite says that the "public is weary of being bombarded with books and speeches and pamphlets about silver." Millions of peoDle will endorse this statement.

THE city of Jacksonville, Fla., seems to have a good thing in its electric light plant, which it owns. It is deriving a profit of about 81,000 a month over operating expenses for commercial lighting. The cost of the plant was 8100,000. At the same time it is furnishing the city with light worth, it is estimated, 817,805. In other words, the city's electric light plant is enabling the city to light the streets almost without cost.

IT seems to be a settled fact that Congressman Dingley, of Maine, has been tendered aud accepted the position of Secretary of the Treasury in President McKinley's cabinet. Mr. Diugley is well equipped for the unimportant duties of the Treasury Department by reason of his years of service on the Ways and Means Com mittee. He is a clote student of economic affairs and will make a most admirable Secretary of the Treasury

ONE interesting feature of Secretary Carlisle's report is his admission, at last, that the Wilson-Gorman law is Insufficient to produce enough revenue. In each of his estimates submitted since the law went into operation ho has predicted a surplus in the next year. But at last he gives it up, and in his estimates of the probable receipts and expenditures predicts deficit of 861,500,000 for the year ending 1897, and of 845,716,000 for the year ending 1SD3.

THE "life creed" proposed by Rev. Dr. John Watson (Ian Maclsren) as a common ethical creed in addition to the existing UeiuimnjaMfjii cf.'iiii'SiHiiir, of faith is being indorsed by prMainentministers and educators. It reads as follows:

I believe in the fatherhoodoof God 1 believe ia the •.vuruu of Jesus. I be lifcve in a clean heart I belii V6 in the service of love. I believe in the unworldly life. I bslieve in the beatitndes. I promise to trust God and follow Christ to forgive my enemies, and to seek after the rie-hteour.rjeiib of God

SATS the Chicago Inter-Ocanv. "One of McKinley's critics whineu that 'he. W£S elected on the money it.stie, tird will call an extra bession upon the tariff issue.' McKinley was elected on the sonnd money issue, it is true, and the people got it as scon as the vote was announced. Equally prominent in his platform was the tariff iasue, the very issue, more than all others, that caused McKinley's name to be honored all over the land, aud it will now be put upon as firm a basis as the money issue."

LITTLE progress has been made tbuB far in the work of reuniting the Democratic elements. Everything remains practically in statu quo, with more likelihood of sound money Democrats remaining with the Republicans than returning to their fold. "While the objections of old-line Democrats to fusion with the Republicans are easily understood,"'says the Chicago TlmcuHerald, "there is no reason why the younger generation of Democrats, who cannot affiliate with Governor Altgeld's party, should not permanently ally themselves with the Republican party as it is now constituted. Judged by the present standard, the Democracy of Samuel J. Tilden is close to the Republicanism of William McKinlcy."

I

CARLISLE'S DEFICIENCY. In his rpport snbmitted last Monday Secretary Carlisle estimates this year's deficiency in the revenues of the Government at 804 5i0,000, and for the fiscal year 189S at 845.718,970. These estimates of receipts and expenditures, are made upon the assumption that there will be no substantial change in existing busiuess conditions and that the present scale of public expenditures will not be reduced. And yet in the face of these admissions the Secretary is opposed to any change in our tariff laws and thinks the Gorman law, a law which while it was pending as a bill the President denounced as a '-bill of party perfidy and party dishonor," is good enough. It will occur, however, to the average layman in statesmanship that a law which has depleted tde vitality of the manufacturing and agricultural interests in this country, aud has strengthened those of foreign nations, besides adding ?2C2.000,000 to the public debt, ought to be repealed instanter, and a law substituted that will yield enough revenue to wipe out a deficit of many millions, create enough surplus to pay off the debt of 8262,000,000 which the Wilson-Gorman law added to our national indebtedness, provide for the annual increase of 812,000,000 in interest to be paid on this debt, and to meet current, ex penses. The prime need of the day is revenue. This is a billion dollar conn try.

SENATOR-EI-ICCT MCENERY, of Louisiana, although a Democrat has announced in an interview that he is in favor of the Republican tariff programme, and that he will vote with the representatives of that party on the new tariff bill. lie then goes on to say:

I realize, as do many others now, that instead of running along with a deficit in the revenues, we should alw«ys have a burplus. Theie should always be a contingent fund, and the great Government of the United States, with its wealth and progress, should not be confronted with a deficit in its public reveuues, and should never offer an excuse of inability to pay "promptly all obligations. If a high tariff will give the required or more than the required amount of revenue I will favor a bill of that kind. I believe a United States Senator should be for or against a measure on the high grounds of its expediency or its benefits to the country. We realize in Louisiana the necessity for legislation that will build up and not destroy the industries by which we live There is no use disguising the fact. Louisiana favors legislative protection for its industries, and I will support a measure that will give Louisiana her share.

Judge McEnery thus places himself, broadly speaking, in the Republican ranks. And there are others.

THE Cameron resolution for the recognition of the independence of Cuba is virtually dead. Secretary Olney killed it with his little manifesto. It will be laid in the same grave with the late Dingley bill. As to whether Mr. Olney right or whether he is wrong, learned doctors in the law differ. He contends that the authority of recognizing anew member in the family of nations lies with the President. Senator Cameron and those who supported his resolution believe the authority lies with Congress. Both sides cite precedents to sustain their particular view. The division is not on party lines. On one f-ide are such eminent men as Oiney, Ilale and Aldrich. On the other are such statesmen as Sherman, Lodge and Morgan. When men learned in the craft of statesmanship are separated on such a seeming simle proposition, how can we who are unlearned and merely laymen, decide.?

THE tendency of the day is strongly in favor of the municipal ownership of such public necessities as water, gas and electric lighting systems. Philadelphia has been furnishing its citizens their own light for some time and the result, is particularly gratifying to all advocates of this form of public enterprise. Last year that city furnished ras at 81.0D per thousand cubic feet to ail consumers, ind rot only ^ot ill her own lighting free, but made a profit over all expenses in additiou of 8170,443. To this sum should properly be added the amount of gas burned by the city, which s.t the price charged hava figured up to 86^8,498, thus making an actual net profit on the business for the year of 8803,041. With such results obtainable, this is a subject that should have the attention of every voter in this and every other city. The same arguments apply to municipal ownership of lighting plants as of water supply systems.

REPUBLICANS can revise the tariff without embarrassment in a political way, and with the advantage af nearly a century of experience to guide them. The country knows that it has nothing to fear from revenue legislation at their hands. They propose to advance prosperity, not to retard or prevent it, and propose to increase wages, not to depress them and at the same time reduce opportunity for employment. They propose to light more factory fires in this country, and also to restrict and limit immigration and the entry of foreign labor of the unskilled and undesirable sort. In short.

...iljlv

Republicans have an opportunity to lay the foundations for a long period of normal, wholesome prosperity, and they propose to utilize that, opportunity to its utmost.

FIGURES ON SENATOR

CANDIDATES FOR THE INDIANA HONOR SHOWING THEIR HANDS.

Rnssctl Seeds Furiiiwlieg TITO Interesting I.Mi-1 as to How I^^isliitivo Members Will Probably Voto—Governor Mount'*

Latest Visit—Ia Indiana to lie iu the Cabinet?

Special Correspondence. INDIANAPOLIS, Dcc. 23.—With a num­

ber of political events of importance coming off in the near future, it is but natural that Republican statesmen from various parts of Indiana should be gathering at the capital daily to see what they can see and hear what they can hear. Tho lobbies of the Republican hotel headquarters have been well filled for a week with members of the legislature about to convene, politicians of some magnitude who are busy "shaping events" and politicians of lesser magnitude who are busy trying to find something nice and easy under the national or state administration or in the legislature. Tho crowd has now thiuned out to spend Christmas at home, but it will be baud again early next week and tlio ,/ork of "running these here politics" will begin in earnest.

The topic of absorbing interest is the senatorship, and it is likely to keep all other subjects in the background until it is definitely settled. The friends of all the various candidates announce that they are ready for a caucus right now. The canvass has been going on with more or less vigor for the last year, and there is a feeling among all thoso interested that they have done as much as it is possible to do until the caucus meets. Tho election occurs on Jan. 19, according to the constitution, but it is not nnlikoly that tho caucus may be held a week earlier, for it is generally recognized that tho legislature will not be able to accomplish much else until this contest is definitely settled by the caucus. I have seen a printed list purporting to give the names of the members claimed by various candidates, but as those intimately connected with the canvasses of the various gentlemen actively engaged in the contest are careful above all things not to give out any names of tho men they depend upon, further than the members from their own counties and a few other.) who are outspoken for them, I very much doubt the accuracy of tho lists—and, as a matter of fact, accuracy is not claimed for them. The friends of Mr. Fairbanks say that ho will have front 60 to 64 votes in tho caucus of 85 mombers. The friends of Mr. McKeen say that ho will have 88 votes and that there aro about 20 more members who are either not committed to anybody or are for Wallace, Brownlee or Taylor.

One of the friends of Mr. Fairbanks remarked to me the other day, as he looked over a printed list of tho members: "I don't see how it is possible to beat our man. 1 am not on the inside of his canvass and don't know from what members llr. Wishard has plodgos or assurances of any kind, but I oan mark off at least 55 men who will voto for Mr. Fairbanks when it comes to a showdown, after the speakership is out of tho way and the minor candidates havo received a complimentary vote.

Ho marked the following names: Senators Ball, Eethel, Bosseuiau, Gochenour, Gostliu, Gilbert, Go.ir, Goodwine, Houghton, Hawkins, Hugg, Leich, Mull, MoOord, New, New by, Pharos, Shivoly, Self, Watson, White aud Wood Representatives Babeock, Butler, Elliott of Henry, Elliott of Marion, Goddard. Gibson, Hall, Hart of Huntington, Hetidorson, Harris, Hubbard, Hicks, on ox, Knepper, Kratz. Lambert, Li nek, Iiittloton, Medsker, Morris, MoOrea, Pockinpaugh, Petfit, Randolph, lloss, Roots, Schrader, 3bidder, Spoouer, Thomas, Willoughby, Williams and Woodruff.

Naturally tho friends of MoKoen and the ciindir'.af-p:' will that this lift is anywhere near ri^ht. If they did thoy might as well quit. "I am not interested in managing tho canvass of any of the men mentioned," said a politician who is friendly to the McKeen side of the contest, "and do not know what assurances have been given to oither side, but I think I know enough about tho situation to name enough men who aro cither friendly to one of the field or not committed to any candidate to show you that nobody has a majority of tho

caucuE,"

aud he

marked the following: Senators Ball, Bozoman, Collets, Duncan, Earhiy, Gochcnour, Gostlin, Hogate, Holler, Hubbell, Johnson of Madison, Kerns, LaFollette, O'Brien.Shivoly," Sohnock, Self and Wood Representatives Archibald, Babcock, Barlow,Berry, Blankenship, Butler, Fornshell, Furnesf, Hall, Harris, Jernegan, Knoppor, Lambert, Linck, Medsker, Monyhan, Morgan, McCrea, Nowton, Nicholson, Packard, Patterson, Randolph, Rifenberg, Roose, Shidelor, Smith, Stetler and Williams."

Tho value in these two lists lies in the fact that by substracting from each one the names duplicated iu both lists one can come pretty near getting at the men who aro so surely for one candidate or the other that they do not even flirt with "tho other fellows."

The friendly naturo of the conteat is exhibited daily. Almost any day one can find tho managers of two or threo of the opposing boom dining with such members as happen to be in town at tho big rotuid "legislative table" at the Denison. Thero will be no suoh thing as a deadlock, so common in other states. It will bo settled in the Republican cauous and it is my opinion that it will be settled the first evening the caucus takes up tho question.

Governor Mount was in tho city again last weolc and was not so much beset with men willing to serve tLo stato in

various capacities as on his previous visits. While here he wisely saved himself a lot of bother later by settling the question of the first appointment he will be called upon to make for any of boards of control, that of a successor to Miss Laura Ream on the board of the female reformatory. He announced in an interview that Miss Ream will succeed herself. The new governor has leased a modest and comfortable residence on College avenue, one of the pleasantest residence streets in the city— not a "swell" street, but one much sought after by the well-to-do middle class of people. It is a two-story brick house with a wide veranda on two sides and looks out upon the spaoious grounds of the orphanage. He also decided while hero upon the details of tho inauguration,whioh will bo a V6ry simple ceremony conducted in the main corridor of tho statehouse. A platform will be erected there to hold about 50 people and members of the legislature will be seated in front of it. Governor Matthews will escort his successor from his hotel at noon and the oath will bo administered by Chief Justice Jordan

ot

the supreme court, after which Governor Mount will deliver a brief inaugural address. In the evenine an informal reception to the people will be held in the parlors at the statphouse, fc

"A

While here "Governor Mount dampened somewhat the ardor of politicians of tho various cities of tho state who want to see changes made in the metropolitan police boards right away by saying that he would hesitato a good while before interfering in local affairs. The boards are Democratic now and it is likely that in the course of time their political complexion will be changed, but it is evident that the new governor proposes to take his time to find out who are the right men to go on the boards in tho various cities. He also expressed the hope that the legislature could see its way clear to provide for a board of pardons to mako recommendations to the governor in pardon cases. There are enough documents on file iu the COO pardon cases now pending in tho governor's office to keep the governor busy half his term reading them. i8

While there has been nothing in the nature of a formal caucus there has been a great deal of conferring among members of the legislature aud party leaders during the past week, and it is pretty well agreed that the following important measures will bo passed at the coming session: 1. A legislative apportionment, as required by the constitution to bo made every six years. The supreme court has thrown such limitations about this work in its recent deci-ions that it will be no easy matter to mako an apportionment that will pass muster. However, no less than 25 aspiring statesmen are trying their hands at it aud the apportionment committee will have plerity of material to choose from. 2. A measure regulating building aud loan associations in such a way as to protect the stockholders from officers who are not looking for the worst of it and to put the associations npon a firmer footing. It is likely that the biil finally passed will be modeled pretty closely after the measure suggested by the commissions appointed under a resolution of the last legislature. 3. A change in the election law, designed to prevent political committees of the minor parties selling out to the highest bidder and then getting the tickets on the official ballot in such shapo as to make their sale effective. This will probably be reached by an amendment making it clear that the name of a man can appear but once upon the official ballot, it is not ttniikely that some steps may be taken at this Bession toward voting by machine. 4. The usual tax levies and appropriation bills, so framed with an eye to economy that the state can continue the excellent record of debt paying it has made during the post year. People who are yearning to raid tho treasury will find they have undertaken a rather difficult job.

As'de from these, the lernslature will bo asked to pass a geueral educational bill, an ivnti-trust law. a medical bill, a pharmacy law and a measure overhauling the sanitary laws of the state.

Mit'4

A very healthy boom has been started for Addison C. Harris for attorney general in McKinley's cabinet. He is one of tho men upon whom all Indiana Republicans could unite, and it is said that the president-elect looks with favor upon the suggestion of giving Indiana a place in the cabinet. Mr. Harris is one of tho b£st known lawyers in the stato and, while he has always given excellent service on tho stump, he has never mixed actively in political management or takeu sides in the various contests within the party.

Up to date there are 27 patriots who desiro to serve the state iu the job now held down by one Tim Griffin, custodian of tho statehouse. The plaoe only pays $1,800 per year and nothing "found," and it keeps a man pretty busy to attend to it right, but it has aboat it the glamour of publio office, and some of the applicants are willing to leave positions in private life that pay them more money if they can get this office, with all its vexations and uncertainties.

at

The speakership contest still goes on very quietly, with Pettit in the load somewhat and Nicholson possibly second. This is one of those contests where members are very charry about saying what they will do until they soo enough to make up their minds who is likely to be tho winner, and then there is a grand rush to "got on tho wagon" and land well in the makeup of the committees. Neither side in tho senatorial race is showing any disposition to take a hand in the organization of either body, and the various aspirants will bo permitted top ursue their way in peaco.
