Ceagrem asaembled again. The great eemraMon wlueh the Democrata had rereived was lo reform the tariff ia the interest ef lower duties and free raw materials. Ths country reooguised this. High protectionists might deprsoste any scasa, bnt'they did to without say thought that thsir Toless would be beard. AU eoudilions urged the imporianoe of a prompt deeision. whatever ths decision should be. Commerce and industry waited to know what was to be done before making new ventnrea Even without the aiiver trouble there would have been eurtaflment of production end importatioo pending tariff ohangea So, m any event, the aim shonld have been to maka the period of uncertainty as brief as possible. With the added urgency of the monetary eruia, therefore, it wonld •eem that wise etatesmenship would have enggested that the leaders of the majority in the two Houses shonld have act^ in some kind of harmony. Bat noUiing of the sort was done. With reasonable promptitude Uie Wilson bill was presented to the House. No matter as to its merits or defsets now. With ressonabls promptituds it was pasted and sent to the Senats. There it was referred to the Senate finance committee and placed ia the hands of a sub-eommittee of Democrats. They took it np sad treated it as* though they were ’ of s hostile party and as though the subiect were entirely new. The history is too recent to need recalling, but, finally, after aix weeks of working and being “worked,” while the air was full of aeaitoals aad rumors of scandals,' ths committee completed ita mutilation and reported. Then a rest of two weeks was taken. Now at last the Senate ia to begin its dsbate. How long the debate will oontinae no one oan sarmise. No one can feel sore even that when it ia ended the majority will vote tor ito committee's measure. No one suppoaes that the measure, if ^opted by the Senate, will be accepted by the House. No one can gnesa what a eonfeiv ence committee will do. if the bill goea to oonfereace. But what everybody does sea is that the Demooratie Senators are not united on uiy pokey; that, aa a body, they have no geunine convictions on the subject of tariff reform; that many of them are more or leia openly in sympathy with the minority; that thoee who hava convictions have not the moral or inteilectnal force to compel the Gormana. Brieea, Hilia and Murphys who are devoid of Hpolitieal pnnoiple, to obey the party’s mandate. In other words every one sees Mat the Demoerats in Congress are lacking in constructive ability, ^ Poww '®* miutive, m party sagacity. Beople have respect for a man or a party that goes ahead and gets things done, whether such things be best or not. Bnt they have only contempt for a.parW tbat can not nnite on any policy, that can not or wiU not do the duty which it was commissionsd to do. The Demoorsta, ny the display of their incapacity for constructive legislation on oleariy defined principles, by, their inrrsnder of leadership to one so grossly incompetent as Voorhees, by their inability to control the jobbers and tricksters in their ranks, are winning the cordial contempt of all tha independent elements of

the country.

POSTMASTER SAHM. Ma Sahk goes into the postoffice with tbt best wirites of'every citiMo of the community whieh he is to serve. Whether or not he will retain those good wishes ia for him to say. People will not pardon any impairment of the efficiency of the service. He btmsilf seems to feel this, for in his speech to his snboMinates he sidd; The fact tiSat the postal service Is practiesUy Iks only direct service the people get in return for national taxes makss the people sensitive on the question of the delivery of the matla There is only one wAy in which to meet this, and ^ ia that evsiy on# shall do his duty. The cue eonld not be better stated. We shall beUeve that Mr. Sahm means what he ■ays until he demonstrates the eontrary. H ia path ia a comparatively easy one. Tte office of which he is now the head is in a high state of efficiCneyk The employes are faithful and capable. They are, with few exoepriona, protected by the civil sarvioe law, for which the new postmaster shonld be, aad no donbtis, devoutly thankful. The pressure npon him for place will not be seveiw. All he haa to do is to tend tp bnsiness and abide by the law in ito letter and spirit If he does this, his administration wiU be a success. Otherwise it will be a gloomy failure. Let him remember that he is a poblio servant engaged in the pubiio husiness. He k to serve the people. It is tney who pay his salary. They will hold him to strict accountability for the manner in which he discharges his duties. Another thmg. There Are many men in this town who know little and who care lets About dvil service refora, who nevertheless will insist upon the prompt and acenrate collection aad .diatribntion ol the mails They wonld not be serionsly disturbed by wholesale discharges in the postoffice, but they will make a good deal ol noise if they do not get their letters at the earlust possible moment. Their standard is high, for Mr, Thompson has trained them to expect great things of the postal service. And that standard can not be maintaioed except by a rigid enforcement of the civil service law. We believe that Mr. Sahm appreciatea the eitiMtion.

A OMEAT DOCUMENT. Tha great Tanbeneek, the chairman of the national committee of the People's party, who was so mneb in evidence two years ago, has eome to the front again with a “maniftoto" prompted by the President'a patriotic veto of the vaonum bill. It is fnll ef refereaoes to “gold combinations,” “money kings,” “bondholders’ ongarehy.” “liveried soldiera.” “oollared anbjecta,” aad is, oa the whole, the finest piece of writing that the oountry baa had the pleaxnre of readiag einee Taubeneok last “took his pen ia hand.” We do not think that the Americau people will be impopseed, by inch ranting. It la almost certain that the Populist raovemwt reached highwater mark in the election of 1892. Ttie prefearioaal eilver men are, of course, mooii outraged by the veto of the vaenum bill, but they aro also much disoouraged by it. Ontoide of this close,wo bciiovo that the President's aetitoi wiU be approved by a vast majority of the voters of tho oouatry.

THB STORY OF A CONVERSION. Tax MsBinley doctrine haa eome to be' to anpremely a matter of faith with muiy BepublicaiM that no eooaor does a man dare to qnestion it in any. even the slightest particnlar, than able onnns and statesmen at once begin to cast about for some disereditable explanation for his supposed change of heart It is not enough for him to be a pr«> tectionist, bnt be must swear perpetual allegiance to MoKinley aa the inspired author ef the heaven-born system. And to, Carnegie, the prince of ,Homestead, ie at preaent the viotim of the heresy hnnters. So far as appears from any pnblio ntterance of his, he Is ss staneh a protectionist at he ever was. But he had the bnsiness sense to see that the Wilson bill was a protective measure, and he saw further that if the Bepubhoans were wise and conciliatory they could get many, eoBcessioBs—as they have done. The^ tariff thus oonstituted would be protection enough for reasonable men, and more than that it would be sure of some degree of permanency, for there would be no great political party interested in attacking it He wrote a letter to the New York Tribune setting forth these ideas. It was, trom the protectionist point of view, a shrewd letter. He saw that McKinleyism was doomed, and that the thing to do was to make the best terms possible, and, if it could be done, to get the Democratic,party committed to a tariff law which it would have to Mefend. But the blind worshipers of McKinley’s handiwork could only see one thing —their idol was in danger. So, in their 'rage, they began to ory ont against the canny Scotchman who wm aotnally able to aee through a millstone with a hole in it. His “apostasy” had to be accounted for in some way that would consist with the theory that no man could honestly question the infallibility of McKinley in the litenl inspiration af his law. And to the New York Tribane^u doe the credit of ' having solved the mystery. With an abiding faith in tha omnipotence of money as a “converter”—the Tribune has settled it to ik own satisfaction that Carnegie wm bought for |70,0(X}. Certoin armor pla'e which his firm had furnished to tbe Government was defective m that it did not eome op to the requirements of the contract. Secretary Herbert recommended that Ifi per cent, be deducted from the contract price. An appeal was taken to the President, a ho cut this amount down to 10 per cent of tbe contract price, thus remitting about |70,000 of tbe fine. The President’s decision was made known on January 10. Camegie'a famous letter was written on January 3 and printed in the Tribune on January 8. W'hat can be clearer—to minds like that of the Tribune’s sapienl editor—than that the President’s lenity wm purobMed by Camegie’a letter, or that Carnegie’s letter was purobMed by the President's promise of ^a...j^action of $70,000 in tbe finef The “leading protectionist journal in America.” as t)ke Tribune modestly calls itself, assures us that “this is, in"the main, an inoredulootand oommon-seuse world.” And it is just because it is “an incredulous ‘.world” that it will take little stock in the ghost story tramped up by “the foiling protectionist jonmal in America.” ~ It will, we fancy, occur to most men that if Hr. Carnegie bM realiy abjured, not only McKinleyism, but protectionism, it is because be has discovered thatbts business wm being injured by the reftrictive policy, in which case a bribe would be useless; men do not have to be paid to do things which it is to their pecuniary advantage to do. . If, on the other band, the MoKinley tariff helps bis basiocss, it is worth each year many times $70,000. It seems to ns thit this is the way in which ui “incredulous and common-sense” man would look at the transaction.

Wa hear mnrh about “vested rights.” It is well to reflect that in many oasee “vested rigtats” are only ancient wrongs or abuses grown respectable by long-conUaued toleration. Men in one generation, often by questionable methods, secure control of some franchise or privilege by which competition is''looked or monopoly power acquired. And when a later generation demaode reaiona* for the oentinuanoe of tiie abase, they who are profiting by It at the people’s expense, $lxont “vested righto.” Then is foroe ia ths plea, to be sure. Wa an not denjring that. For when a community or a nation confers annsnal privileges or oreates abuses, it hM assumed Mrtaia obligatioiu. albeit to its own hurt. And when It comes to itself aad sees that tbs “vested rights” an really vested wroaga, it can not, without doing mon wrong, proeeed to destroy them suddenly and by violence. Wrongs that have been allowed by a community to vannt themselvee m rigbts have at least this right, that ia being aboliahed or nformed thoee who an dependent on them shall aot be harshly dealt wlth.^ Aad in reforming old abneea mea shonld toks 4Htn that they do not allow new onw to g|nw up.
