BEGINNING TO DODGE REPUBLICANS WANT TO EVADE FINANCIAL LEGISLATION. (Ml«*• B*** 01 vm N*Um Xtat lNf Will fanr No flametel Momhuo Exoopt toBTMiii of IteMT DattW"lMUi| War m Halo to Enaopo BMfo^bUlty. If the Republicans in ocngreta persist in their obstruction of every measnre to reform the currency, they may soon have an opportunity to try their own hand* at financial experiments. It may become necessary for the president to call an extra Session of congress immediately after the 4th of March next, and with their immense majority in the house they ought to have no difficulty ’ in passing a measure of finance that ; should prove acceptable to the country. ! As a party of “honest money” par ex- | cellence it might be taken for granted that the Republicans would hasten to pnt the currency on a safe tusis, and abovo all to relieve the treasury of its embarrassments in the continuous redemption and reissue of greenbacks. It is true enough that all the financial legislation on the statute book, aa well aa all the legal tender currency extant, is of Republican origin. Yet this consideration ought not to cause a congress of “honest money” Republicans to hesitate in a work of financial reform that the people have devolved upon them. But the country observes with surprise and disappointment that the Republican leaders in congress have already begun to evade their approaching responsibility on this subject In order to embarrass the administration of their political opponents, the Republicans in the house have not scrupled to coalesce with a small free silver faction of Populists. While violently reproaching the Democratic majority in congress for the failuro to relieve the public finances, they have rushed into an offensive and defensive alliance with Popnlists to oom

pletely block noanciai legislation in the senate they have given notice that they will favor no measure of flnanoe except to increase protective duties, as if that won Id not tend rather to reduce than to increase the revenues. While thus putting partisan sticks in the wheels of legislation the Repub* licans plead that they will not take the responsibility of establishing a financial policy in the next congress for want of a majority in the senate. But they need give themselves no anxiety on that aooount The Democrats will throw no obstacle in the way of their organisation of the senate and the control of its committees. Nor will the Democratic senators imitate their example of partisan obstruction. So far from it, the Democrats will give the Republicans for any practicable measure of financial reform more than enough votes in the senate to compensate for the losses from the silver turning states beyond the Mississippi The great trouble with the Republican leaders, however, is that they have no financial policy or principles. In the oonfusion that prevails among them they will be unable to agree upon any snbstantial measure of monetary legislation. (t is not necessary to go farther west than Pennsylvania to observe the deep taint that has corroded their organization. Their latest achievement in financial legislation was the Sherman silver purchase act, the raiBohief and folly of which they were compelled to acknowledge before the country. The latest exemplification of the hybrid condition of their party is the twin birth of a Republican and a Populist United States senator in North Carolina. It is not strange that the Republicans shonld despair of accomplishing any financial policy in the next congress, nor that they shonld have already begun to peep about for some hole of escape from responsibility. In the hapless condition to which they have been reduced in their sacrifice of principle to party success their only suggestion is “more tariff,” and this the more sagacious Republicans will not permit All this affords no exense for the Republican maneuvers in congress to embarrass a Democratic administration and congress in their efforts to remove the dangers that threaten the treasury.—Philadelphia Record.

Workmen Not In on tin Bounty. It is the fashion of truth to crop out in unexpected places, and it is a wholesome fashion that sends the light There is good reason for the refusal of the railroads to purchase steel rails at the tempting figure of $22 a ton any mure extensively than was the case before the reduction from $24 when the fact is made known that the actual cost of making steel rails is now down to $15 a ton. Bessemer pig iron can be converted into steel billets land of coarse into steel rails at a cost of $4.75 the ton, and pig iron is now quoted at $10. The steel rail combination has a nice thing of it at these figures and the lovely tariff bounty besides, while the workers ip steel m the Pittsburg district are just drawing their reduoed wages far the month.—Philadelphia Times. « Cask Not Nomoaiy la Illinois. It is alleged that 14 Republican members of the Michigan legislature were paid to vote for Julies Caesar Burrows for „ senator.

FRUITS OF THE VICTORY. Son* of the first frails of tbe great ( Republican victory of last fall, which are now being gathered in senatorial elections in various states, are not toothsome. Platt bestriding the party in New York is scarcely a more astonishing and offensive figure this side the North river than is Sewell beyond it ooolly assuming that his election to the United States senate is the logical and fitting outcome of the reform movement which swept the state last November. One of his supporters in the caucus pointed with pride to Sewell's "able ] leadership during the dark days of tbe j Republican party in New Jersey." But it was eiactly that able leadership! which made the days so dark. Nothing j did more to keep New Jersey surely | Democratic than Sewell'a career as senator. lobbyist, divider of the spoils under Harrison, bargain striker with Demoaratio bosses. As senator again he will be in a position to restore the dark days speedily and will doubtless do sa He will find able assistance in the senate in the great work of clouding the party's prospects in the person of Elkins, who has solemnly accepted the | "great trust" of representing West Vir- • ginia. When Harrison made him secretary of war, unutterable things disturbed the mental repose of Republican editors whose minds went back to tbe star route days, and the few of them whom Harrison neglected to subsidize frankly said that the appointment was not fit to be made But now he is a senator, with a benevolent scheme for old age pensions for alL Platt, Sewell, Elkins, not to mention Thurston, Wolcott and Chandler, gayly riding the I whirlwind of reform and directing the ' storm of indignation at Democratic rascals beautifully illustrate tbe deep yearning of tbe American people for pure political leadership—New York .Post Wilson Bill Redactions.

The Ohio woolgrowers have resolved that the free wool provisions of the new tariff are “a colossal political crime.” This seems to us a mistake. In the first place, it will stir up the wrath of the rilverites. They hold the copyright in the phrase “a colossal political crime. '* Besides it is hardly polite to tell men —and particularly the women—who are buying better clothing for less money than ever before in their lives, that they are accessories to a crime. Nor will the woolen manufacturers, whose mills are doing better than for years, be pleased to be told by the men whose wool they buy that they are benefiting by a crime. It would be just like them to knock off a cent or two on the price of wool when thus taunted. Furthermore, it is a bad time to raise such a cry, inasmuch as the market reports far Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chioago all tell just now of a firmer market and higher prices for wool We think that the Ohio growers, on mature consideration, will leave to Stewart and Teller sole and undisturbed enjoyment of the only original “colossal political crime.’'— New York Post IadlgMut Jumping Jacks. The riot in Honolulu gave the Republican jumping jacks of the Boutelle, Chandler and Lodge variety another opportunity to demonstrate their implacable hostility to their own governs ment and to publicly proclaim a few more slanders upon President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham. Their “pro- , found indignation” because a govern- ; ment vessel was not In port when the I disturbance took place is not shared by j | President Dole, who expressed to Min- j is ter Willis his gratification because j ! such was the fact The usurping Ha- j ! waiian government and the red Republicans of this country have formed a closer alliance than appears to be either necessary or desirable.—Chioago TribA Party of Imw Moral*, j The Republican party cannot stand ; prosperity. Witness the election to the i United States senate of Sewell in New | Jersey, Tom Carter in Montana, Steve ; Elkins in West Virginia. The morals ! • of a party most be at a low ebb When it selects such men to be crowned with honors when good material is abundant —New York Mercury. In the event of the failure of essential j legislation during the present session of congress as the result of captious opposition of Republicans it would be | a good idea to ooovene the Fifty-fourth i congress in extra session as soon as possible after the 4th of March.—Kansas i i City Tunes.

DEMOCRACY ALIVE. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE. Tte Defeat of November Wm N«t m tail— BUm of Political Rcactioa Ba pwMicaac Not Very JBopcfal at a Victory In IM. The American Magazine of Civios for January contains a number of replies from prominent men of both parties to the question as to “the possible benefits sad dangers’* of the Republican triumph in last gear’s elections, says the Philadelphia Record.' While the Republicans are not very definite as to the prospective benefits of the elections, the Democrats do not anticipate much danger from them, from the fact that they have bestowed upon their opponents no substantial power. While the Republicans continue'to boast of their triumph as if nothing line it had ever oocurred in the political history of the country, they overlook one of its most significant features which differentiates it from other popular revolutions. In other political revolutions prominent citizens in all parts of the country have openly and publicly abandoned their former party associations. During the recent campaign there was hardly a Democrat from Maine to Oregon whom the Renblican organs oonld name as having abandoned his party. Doubtless many prominent Democrats, in their disgust at the confusion and cross purposes in Washington, refrained from voting or voted with the opposition, but none of them proclaimed bis purpose to sever old party relations. Instead of a political revolution the result last November was a furtive, shamefaced retreat caused in a great degree by the differences between the president and the senate in regard to an important measure of Democratic policy. That Democratic defeat should result was al-. most inevitable But the disaster in its ; overwhelming extent was one of those sudden panics whioh temporarily destroy the morale of the b«6t bodies of men, and for which no adequate cause j can be assigned. Neither the differences among the leaders of the party in regard to the details of a tariff bill, nor the business depression, nor the insensate partisan howls of calamity, nor all these things united, sufficiently explain the momentary abandonment of the Democratic standard in the greatest

strongholds or the party. ( But already there are abundant* signs of a wholesome political reaction. The Democratic party everywhere is rapidly recovering from the panic which over* took its hosts. As the new1 tariff more and more disappoints the reckless predictions of its foes, the people are more determined to resent the desperate practices upon popular credulity and fear. The Republicans themselves can hardly conceal their embarrassment over a triumph that has brought them no substantial trophies. They are haunted with a fear that the deplorable methods of political warfare which have secured them a partial success have vastly diminished their prospects of a complete victory in the elections of 1896. Long before the next presidential campaign the Democrats will have banished the memory of the panio of 1894 and will have regained all their ancient confidence and vigor. A BLANK CARTRIDGE. The So Galled Antitrust Act Meant to Bavo No Effect. -* The supreme court, as a matter of course, has affirmed the decision of both the lower courts in the case of the Unit* ed States against the Sugar trust, denying the constitutionality and validity of the Sherman antitrust act of 1890, says the Philadelphia Times. The tariff act of that year was framed expressly to encourage and promote the combination of sugar refiners known as the Sugar trust. It could have had and was meant to have no other effect. At the same time congress passed a so ca lled antitrust act which could have had and was meant to have no effect whatever. It was a mere blank cartridge intended to give the appearance of opposition to monopolies while congress was witl the other hand dispensing bounties for 'heir support. Every time that an attempt has been made to put this antitrust act in force the courts have knocked it out, ami the public has by this time learned ths.t in spite of all pretense to the contrary the Sugar trust owes its power to the Mo-, Kinley act and the congress of 1899.
