As WAS confidently expected by the
Republicans and earnestly hoped for by
u host of Democrats, the Morrison tariff
reform bill met with defeat. The arena
Of politics in this country presents Mt
this time scene both novel and deeply
interesting. Even the heroes OF many
remarkable and hard fought political
campaigns find themselves grently inter
ested in the present situation and TO the
novice in politics the condition OF things
Is startling. The Republican party has
cause for congratulation, for the Demo-
Gratis have relieved 1t of more than half
the trouble Of defeating them next No
yember, by defeating themselves. Only
a short while ago, with II working majof-
ity In the house and under the leadership
of Morrison and Carlisle the cry of tariff
reform was raised, Carlisle was chosen
chairman over Randall and the House was
organized with view TO Insure the sue
cess of the advocates Of tariff reform.
Morrison introduced his tariff bill and
the House decided to consider it. Then
1t was that the bright prospects of
Democratic success were dashed to the
ground. Randall, In the contest over
the bill, proved his almost nnriyaled
ability as taotioian and trlnmphed over
Morrison as leader. The latter was
crushed with his bill and dismay and
panic spread through the camp of the
so-called reformers. Now that the re-
suit has gone out to the people, Mr..
Randall again comes TO the front as
subject of discussion. The more violent
free trade journals deDOunce him as
"traitor" and Republican, and consign
him to the latter party. More moderate
Democratic journals accept the defeat
philosophically, and with the Fort Worth
Gazette, ask, "What next?" and
intimate that at the Chicago con-
vention Mr.. Randall will learn
that she laughs best who laughs last"
Through all these discussions the grand
old Republican party preserves its per-
feet organization and turns every point
to its advantage. Even good Democrats
are forced to the bitter Acknowledgment
that the struggle over the Morrison bill
has greatly weakened their party, and
all that is left is "hghting chance"
This is the condition in which they
must enter the arena with the
Republicans whose only point
Of difference among themselves is
as to a leader, but whose devotion to
principle is so great and organization so
complete that, with any, even the weak
est, of the men named as probable lead
ers, they can go into the campaign with
the fullest confidence In their success.
As usual, the Democrats have thrown
away their opportunities when their
prospects of success were brightest.

next year the overworked brain of the
first will be exhausted and his nervous
system broken, incapaoitatlng him for
work at all. This shows the great want
Of economy. You can never have draft
on Natures bank without having TO pay,
sooner or later, heavy interest. The
aspects Or economy are varied, there Is
political economy, social economy and
personal economy. As political economy
advances and more interest In the study
of this fascinating science Is manifested
generally It will be the aim OF society to
bring within reach of all good things
Of every kind, both artistic and
scientific. With regard to personal
economy this is n branch which embraces
home, children, servants and employers
The so-called unlucky men, who always
make failures in whatever undertaking
they engage in, are those who have not
taken advantage Of opportunities when
they presented themselves, and thus
lost chances which never recur again.
Economy Is not so much saving as II Is
judioious spending, and making care
full use of those faculties that we possess,
and the full advantage Of those oppor-
tunities that are around. Perseverance
and energy often come to untimely end,
because they are not united with wise
economy.
