Mr.. MORRILL, said In the Senate a few

question was settling itself. The GA

were glad to find the remark made In
the Senate. Now the great city organs
are trying to explain the -ise In the price
of silver in elaborate editorials. We hope
they may succeed. In the meantime we
take from the Worlds long editorial, the

THOSE who went TO the City Council

Of angry words, between Democrats, must

the majority had to go through one of
the most trying ordeals they ever expe-

We admit that neither party Of the
Democrats were clearly right, or that
either party was wrong, We still indulge
. higher opinion of them than before,
because of the creditable manner in
which they conducted their difference to

doubt If any legislative body could have
elected what they did with more pro-
Dristy and decorum. In the first place

the value o OF exports would reach
immense amount of 500, ,000, 900. Over
three-fifths Of this trade 10 carried IN
foreign ships. and our importen and
most active merchants, with great JUS
tice, complain that they are at the
mercy OF foreign ship ownen, who reap
great sums of money from . trade that
must be profitable, TO build up such i'm

ships.
Now we believe firmly that such re-
duction Of duties upon ship building
materials, as has been advocated In Con-
gress by gentlemen Of both political
parties, would result in tho building OF
two ocean ships where We now build
one-that our ship builders would set
better prices for their labor and much
greater number Of them be employed
here in Wilmington.
The very high tariff laws are doing In
jury TO the labor Of the country, and
taxing the many for the benefit Of the
few. Our mechanics are more skillful
than those of foreign nations; and We
are pointed to the fact that an American

more money for his employer. VIII

That the debt question WAS not settled on

SENATOR BECK OUTLINES THE POLITICAL PRO-
GRAMME.
Senator Beck is still in Washington, and
has remained here during the entire recess.
Talking to the Post last night, he said he
thought hat the House, INSTRUMENTATION
is effected, will appoint but single COM
mittee. Said he: "Thc Committee on APP
preparations will be organized, and my m-
preston is it will report the bills that were
reported TO the last session. No new lesls-
ation OF any kind will be proposed.'
els it true that the legislative, judicial,
and executive bill will be divided into three
parts?"
Il think not; I have not heard any such
suggestion. I think the appropriation bills
will be reported just as they are now; !
mean inst rs they were before the Congress
lust adjourned. There will not be any dl-
Visions"
But it was said the bill would be d.
yided in order to avoid the constitutional
objection in regard to the payment OF the
Presidents salary at stated periods"
sin the entire history OF the Govern
ment," said AIr. Geek, "no President has
ever vetoed bill to repeal Il law. His pre-
rogative Of the veto is given to prevent lc-
gisation that is unconstitutional, or that
cncroachcS upon the judicial or legislative
departments. Now, we propose only 20 re-
peal laws that have been enacted during
the last twelve or fifteen years by the Re-
publican party. Most OF these laws were
passed on appropriation bills, and we pro-
pose TO repeal them in the same way. The
people OF the country, through the National
Legislature, have pronounced in favor OF
the repeal Of these laws. They have cor
dcmned them. and there is no warrant for
the President to veto them. l don't believe
he has ever said he would"
land the Democrats vii! insist upon
their demand"'
"They have right to, as expressing the
voice OF the people. and will do it. As soon
