NOW THEN, MP. MORRISON.

The ewes of the Democratic party are now
turned in the direction of Morrison. And, natur-
ally enough, there is "a good deal OF anxiety
in tbe ewes. For Morrison so ii is understood, is
about to put his creed in regard to the tarln INTO
nroctical working shape. Early this week MS
mucb-talked of bill providing for tariff reduc-
tion is to be introduced-and then, WhatY The
trouble is no member can answer this question:
Perhaps Randall and those who stand with MN
will make a grand demonstration Ill favor OF n
mastery inactivity. Perhaps, as result OF
mandate of King Caucus. the bill VIII encounter
no opposition Of a serious nature. HIS 1rlehaS
say that Mr.. Morrison is quite hopeful gong SO
far as to express the opinion that not more than
fifteen of his fellow Democratic members,
inclusive of Mr.. Randall, will be found arrayed
against his BILL
Ten davs ago a most interesting report gained
currency touching Mr.. MorrisOns intentions.
II was given out that he had decided to INTRO
duce tariff bill, but that in order not to hurt
anybody's feelings-Mr. Randalrs, fOrinstance-
tbe measure was to be recommtted without
debate and made a special order for some day
next December. The Presidential election
occurs next November. If this tremendously
cunning programme is to be carried ont, thoSe
fifteen Randall men whom Mr.. Morrison figures
ND can we'll aiford-for the pTesent-not to lay
straw in the way OF the BILL While the stage
waits Mr.. Morrison must not fail 70 take notice
of the significant fact of there being Democratic
authority for the statement that the Democratic
Congressmen from NewJersey, with one
exception, "say that they will pay no attention
to the resolutions of their State Legislature
@requesting them to take position on the tariii
aouestion in harmony with the Ohio platform

PREPARING FOR RAID.

II Is given out in authoritative Democratic
quarters that the Civil Service law is either to
be repealed or nullifed by Withholding appro-
priations The Democrats cannot be expected
to like the Civil Service Reform system, and no.
body doubts their readiness to abolish ii, pro-
vided they have the power. That they viii OBJ
tain help from the Republicans in any such
raid we do not for a moment believe. That
they expect any public Endorsement of such a
course is equally preposterous. Civil Service
Reform was demanded 10y the people for years
before 1t was conceded by the politicians, and
the party that now undertakes, In the plain In
terest of the spoils system, to abolish tlLis re-
form, need not hope to find support at the polls.
The true inwardness of the Democracy is how
ever, shown IN this strong desire TO do away
with all obstacles to the pursuit Of the spOils.
The party leaders feel that victory would be
Httle more than q shadow for them un-
less they could have the Federal patronage
at their disposal. The public can see from this
single indication the hollOwness and insnccrity
of all Democratic professions of reform. When
the cry is raised "Tbe Republican Party must
gol" 1t means neither more nor less than that
the Democratic politicians want the Offices.
But 1t is Just as well that this should be brought
clearly before the country, and therefore 1t is
to be hoped that the Democratic Congressman
will 80 on with their new programme, and thus

An outline of the first annual report of the state
Civil Service Commissioners will be found else
where in this impression. 1t is an interesting
document, but it shows that the Commissioners
have as yet hardly had a chance to DO more
than make beginning in their work. Al inc
outset, too, they have encountered serious on
stacles, owing to the weakness OF the law III i'e

1t is quite likely that this statute, unwliiingiy
enacted by Democratic Legislature, is Just as
effective as it was intended to be; but as the
present Legislature is Republican, doubtless
the amendments suggested by the Commission
will be adopted, and the law made something
like what it ought to be.

ing Pennsylvania, on a charge of horse-racing

wedding ont obsolete legislation. Laws often be-
come dead letters through changes III public habit
and opinion, but so long rs virtually obsolete
law remains on the statUte book it Is liable TO be

The basis Of the contested election case of

some color of probability TO the story that the
main reason for disputIng Mr.. Peele's seat in the

of the men who bet on Mr. English. The Peele
ballots were printed on thick white paper and
his adyersary's on thinner white paper. AS the

Mr.. Felix Adler In an address delivered yes

charged that the cause of the evil lies in the de-
termination of the owners TO have from 10 to
20 per cent return from their investments. Mr..
Adlers statements will have a tendency TO con-
firm the growing belief that the work of tene
ment-house reform, which was begun so zeal
ously few years ago in this city, has died out.
If this is the truth, it ought to be easy for the
Health Board or the agents of the State Chari-

this result. Our laws relating TO tenement
