“Making due allowance for the fulsome praise of party saints to be expected from a Democratic organ, there is much force and sagacity in the above editorial. It shows that the Democrats are preparing to take advantage of any mistake the Republicans make either in their candidate

or platform.

“The nomination of McKinley, who represents high tariff and ^nothing else, on a platform as uncertain on the money question as he is, would prove to be the weakest one that could be made. This does not mean that he is not by long odds the most popular among the Republican candidates, but it does mean that he would get the smallest vote of any of them as a candidate for president. The trouble with him is that many of those who are not enthusiastically for him are not for him at all—they would vote against him. “There are enough low tariff, sound money Republicans, including the independents who usually vote the Republican ticket, to hold the balance of power between the two old parties, and these would vote the Democratic ticket, if that party follows the advice of the World and puts up a sound money candidate on a sound money, moderate tariff platform. Either Reed, Allison, Morton or Harrison could carryall the McKinley votes— they are all pledged to the principle of protection and either would also carry the greater part of the independent low tariff sound money vote above referred to. They represent more than the tarifl issue and represent a bstter phase of that than does

McKinley.

“It would thus appear to be foolish to the point of absurdity for the Republicans to nominate such a man; for, in spite of a combination of favorable circumstances which now appears to make Republican success certain, the history of politics should convince them that such a course would be dangerous. “The average citizen of the United States has a decided habit of doing his own thinking and voting, and as lightly as party lines now rest upon him, he has plenty of time to change his mind between the ides of June and the first Tuesday of November. Many a fair prospect has been ruined in much less time; and if the Republicans are wise they will avoid the danger before it is too late.”

Monte Carlo’s gaming tables took in 18,000,000 francs last year, a reduction of more than a million francs over tlA previous year, and thadividend is only 165 francs per share. The loss is due to the luck of two or three plungers. A Russian army surgeon took away 2,126,000 francs and two South African mine speculators 325,000 francs between them.

Tariff is iu Politics to Stay. An announcement comes from Detroit that it has been decided to hold a “political tariff convention” in that city next month. “It is proposed that a call therefor be issued by two national labor organizations, one national agricultural organization and fifteen commercial organiza-

tions.”

“It has been decided,” “it is proposed,” by whom? All the information vouchsafed upon that point is contained in the statement that “the subjects proposed to be discussed are slated by Secretary Archer of the national tariff commission.” Who is Archer and what is the national tariff commission? Of whom is that body composed and how did it come into existence? To these questions there is no answer. We are told that the first subject to be discussed is “ways and means for taking the tariff questions out of politics and making it a business question.” From this one may gatlier that the movement is in the interest of those beneficiaries of the protective tariff who would be delighted to get their great system of private enrichment through the agency of public taxation placed securely beyond the reach of the people. These patriots have enlisted Senator Cullom, the Illinois prohibitionists and, it would seem, some nonpolitical or semipolitical organizations. This Detroit convention evidently is projected by the same men as part of a plan of systematic agitation. The game seems to be to commit as many organizations as possible to their pretty scheme, so to be ready to spring it upon the country as soon as they secure another McKinley tariff or one still more to their liking, which they hope to do as a result of the elections next fall. These plotters may as well understand at once that this thing cannot be done. If the proposal were merely to take out of politics questions as to the best methods of raising necessary revenue there would be some little sense in it. Such questions might possibly be left to a commission without detriment to public interests, though that is more than doubtful, for the mere raising of revenue is a public act for public purposes and is a proper subject of public discussion. But the question of taxation for other than public purposes -for the benefit of individuals or selected branches of industry or classes or sections in short, for protection is in its very nature a political question. It is the question whether the government of the whole people shall exercise the taxing power for the benefit of a few of the people at the expense of the many. There ought not to be any question about it. The proposition that the taxing power should be exercised for no other than public purposes ought to be considered as axiomatic as any of the self-evident truths enunicated in the declaration of independence. But in fact the power is exercised for other purposes, and so long as that in the case the question will stay in

politics.

And it will be a burning question. It will wax hotter and hotter until it is settled as it ought to bo and as it would have been long ago but for the ingenuity of protectees in making gross and palpable wrong to appear right to multitudes whoso clear thinking is no match for their well meaning. This question can no more be taken out of politics before it is settled rightly than the slavery question could be taken out of politics. It is essentially a question of freedom and justice and it will stay in politics and burn deeper and deeper until freedom and justice are established on a foundation that can-

not be shaken.

HIS LEG IS PULLED.

That Is How a Southern Congressmau Kegurds Ilia Lot. “Some jieoplo may think that a congressman saves a pile of money out of his salary," said a well-known southern I congressman, who was talking to a Washington Star rep >rter on the vicissitudes of running for office, and especially for congress, “but a man has to be a. small walking bank to accommodate the large number of his ‘friends’ and supporters who need a little money for some urgent matter. In my state we have to make campaigns ami appear before the people nt meetings. Well, I have never attended a meeting but that 1 did not have some kind of a subscription poked into my face.. Somebody wants something for a church and for missionary purposes or for helping some fellow who has been burned out. “You can’t avoid subscribing, and have to head the list with the largest sum. Then nbout the time you think you are through with having ycur leg pulled some lazy fellow will walk up and say: ‘How do, gineral? I had ter quit my work ter come out and hear you terday, and I thunk yer mout giv’ me a dollar.’ \\ bile you have the greatest contempt for the man, you give him the

dollar.

“\\ lien you leave the meeting you are. out anywhere from $20 to $50. ' These are just a few instances of what aeandidt:te has to spend money for. After lie gets through thecampaign and is elected he has to furnish every dead Izeat from his disl riet who should happen to come to Washington with money. I’ve actually given them money and railroad tickets to get home and have them go bock end work against me." IRONY OF FATE.

It Pursue* Two Eminently Respectable Ladies Who Could .Not A (Tree. Not long ago there were two Indies stopping at the same boarding house. They were single ladies, be it said, and both highly respectable. But for some reason, says the Minneapolis Times, known only to themselves, they “couldn't get along,” and matters went between them from bad to worse till they “quit speaking.” They both got tired, of course, living in the same house with a mortal enemy, and finally both determined to move. Arrangements were made, and, as luck would have it, both moved the same day. Lady No. 1 loaded up her household goods iu the morning, and in the afternoon a dray pulled up and carried away the trunk, shaw 1st raps, and other effects of lady No. 2. Lady No. I was just composing herself to view the surroundings of her n< w lodging place, w hen a wagon f lopped at the front door and began to unload a collection of articles unmistakably feminine. She sized up the trunk and went downstairs, filled with a horrible suspicion, to interview the landlady. Her suspicions were true. They had moved into the same house. There is no more to the story. Of course, they should have made up the!'.’ differences and lived in peace and charity ever after. But they did not. Lady No. 2 never got lier trunk inside of tho heuse.

DEAF MUTES DANCE. A Jumping Mummy un the Piano Keeps the Step for Them. A social club of deaf mutes exists in Warsaw since 1883, and as there arc a large number of persons tints afflicted in the capital of Russian Poland, the club is doing very well. During the last week of carnival the club arranged a ball, and in order to enable the member to dance to the music in time, n very curious plan was adopted, which proved quite efficient. A large paper doll v. as rigged up on the piano, anti the player, also a deaf mute, who furnished the music, which, of course, could not be heard by the members of the club, used a pedal to make the paper figure move up and down in tune v ith the piece played. A large sign alongside announced the character of the dance, nnd thus it became possible for the deaf mutes to enjoy the dances us if they were not afflicted with their organic shortcomings. Besides that, they were spared the agony of those w ho could hear, for some w ag had tampered with the piano, which was frightfully out of tune, even the player never noticing that fact. The deaf mutes danced into the early morning hours and unanimously voted the entertainment a magnificent success.

DEAD, YET ALIVE.

An Interestlni; Enoch Ardeu Case In an

English Court,

A curious Enoch Arden ease, in which the lord Justice of appeal had to intervene in order to tiring a man to life again legally, has just been decided in England. Forty-two years ago a woman married a sailor in the British navy, who deserted, went to the United States and was not heard of again for 30 years. Six years after his disappearance she married another man, with whom she lived for 18 years, but from whom she at last obtained a judicial separation and alimony in 1S!C. The second husband pleaded that his marriage was null, as her first husband was alive at the time, but the jury in the divorce court found tha t tho man was dead. Last year husband No. 2 discovered husband No. 1, brought suit again and produced him hi court, where ho was fully identified, but the judge held that as a jury had declared he was

An Editor dead, ho could not admit that he was

..o, alive and dismissed the suit. Theappel-
