Entered at the postofflce in Becatur, THE TARIFF BILL if the senate thinks that the people have, owing to the Mexican difficulty. Jost interest in the tariff bill, it is very greatly mistaken They earuegHy .j... r.ire that the bill be promptly passed, it does not seem to us that it would be wise for the president or the democratic leaders in congress to make any deals looking to prompt action. It ' they would consent to abandon th*' 1 currency bill there is no doubt that i thetariff bill would have an easier; journey through the senate. But no ■ meh bargain ought to be made. The I republican senators seem to feel thet i there is no need to act on the tariff unless they can be assured that with .■ itch action they would be allowed to get away from Washington, If tiny: cate to put themselves in that position, that is their own affair. Here is a great public question—the tariff in in which the people, and business, are very deeply interested. The question is whether it shall be dealt with in a business way. Republican senators —-or some of them —seem to insist that it shall not be thus dealt with unless it be agreed that they have their vacation If the session is to be protracted no matter what they do about the tariff, they are unable to see why they should be in a huurry That is their attitude. And yet <. ■ eryone knows that it is of the highest importance that the tariff bill be passed, and promptly. The people understand this- With them it is not a question of making things pleasant ami comfortable lor the republican sun;.ters, but of getting thetariff problem out of the way. If those senators refuse to meet the wishes of the people, the people will not be likely to forget their failure to do so. The tariff bill has been before congress for four months. There has thus been ample time to dispose of it- Any delay merely for the sake of delay, much more for the purpose of forcing adjournment before the public business is transacted, will certainly not be approved by the people.—lndianapolis News.
