Certainly all attempts to eliminate him have
failed sgually. California attempted heroic
treatment and made lobbying crimej but
there Ia no reason for believing that the Golden
State has thus enfranchised itself.
The secret Of the lobbyists power Of course
lies in the fact that his business consists in the
abuse of an undoubted right. 1t is impossible
to say that nobody shall approach legislator 70
discuss pending measure. That would be 10
deprive the people of one Of the most indispensa-
BILE and irrefragable of their.rights. Every citi-
zen must DO entitled to urge or protest against
any legislation affecting his interests, and 1t Is
the duty of the legislator to give ear to all such
representations. Because this is so, no attempts
to suppress the lobby can ever be successful,
md it is to be feared that it will be equally I'M
practicable to eliminate the opportunities for
venality. After all, tho people must depend
upon the character of the men they send to the
Legislature, State or National, and If they can
not choose men whose characters are trust
worthy, no amount of fencing or bolsterlng Is
likely to make them trustworthy. so we revert
to first principles, and find that the one effective
protection against the wiles of the lobby is the
exercise of due caution and discrimination by
the voter from the primaries to the nominating
convention, and thence to the polls.

THA7 To tn RE GAINED

If there is any Republican who regards it as
q misfortune to his party that the sO-called de-
bate on the Tariff bill was permitted, he deserves
pity for his blindness. The Democrats have
well-nigh immOrtalized themselves by their
stupidity, and yet they see with painful distinct
ness that their party is simply committing sui
eide. 1t was the public duty of the Republicans
to stop as soon as they could the agitation that
is disturbing business, closing mills and mines,
and driving working. people out of employment.
A of them except SIX performed that duty,
and were recorded by votes or pairs against the
Morrison bill. 1t is an honorable record-the
more honorable because it was obviously for the
advantage of the party that the debate should
20 on.
1t would be interesting to know, however,
what Mr.. Morrison and his associates expect to
gain by the further discussion of this bill.
They can boast majority of only two in a very
full House. Had the minority abstained from
voting, the bill would have lacked twenty three
votes of quorum. Even then, it was aided by
two Republicans and by seventeen Democrats
who had previously voted to pass the bill in
creasing the duties on wool. Some of these
members certainly, and perhaps most of them,
voted for the consideration of the bill
to reduce the duties on wool only
In order to get another chance to raise those
duties by amendment. If they succeed, that
will kill the bill for Mr. Morrison and if they
fail, it may be presumed that will kill the bill for
them. But a change of only two Of them-the
two Republicans, Oh part of the six Ohio Demo-

ODPDON and TIE MAHDL,

General Gordon now has an opportunity OF
rescuing another garrison In the Soudan. The
Mahdi, who has been represented for many
months as setting out cOnquering legions
against Khartoum, Is now reported to be closely
beset at Obeid by rebelliOus tribes. A mer-
chant who left Kardofan twelve days ago has in
formed General Gordon that the Mahdi has been
twice defeated with heavy losses, and is now In
q sorry plight. Apparently he needs assistance,
and would lc glad to have the deliverer OF
Khartoum appear upon the scene and effect his
release. Unfortunately General Gordon Is him.
self in sore distress and cannot respond to the
Mahdis appeals. He is telegraphing to Cairo
that the situation at Khartoum Is utterly hope
less unless Zebehr can be sent UP the Nile i'm
inediately to assist in the paciication OF the
country. Ii is a cOmcal situation. General
Gordon and the Mahdi are the opposing kings
on the chess board and each has been forced
into a corner and rendered helpless. The
Egyptian pieces seem to have disappeared and
the board is filled up with pawus-all of one
color.
The situation In 0beid is IA unintelligible as
the situation in Khartoum. Every new disclos-
ure only adds to the confusion. If dissensCns
have broken out in the Mahdls camp and he is
besieged by powerful tribes, General Gordon's
own predictions have been fulfilled. He as
serted before he left England that the move
ments in the Soudan were not religious but
political, and that tho Mahdi would never adj
vance toward Khartoum, but would be eventu-
ally deserted by his own followers. Kardoian
is a wretched country, without local sources
of revenue or the means of maintaining armies
or an efficient government. The Mahdis sub
jects have probably been overwhelmed with
poverty and have turned against him in sheer
desperation.

At tho outset, THE TRIBUNE reminded Mr.
Morrison that he was compelled to abandon In
disgust his previous experiment In tariff reduc-
ton, and suggested that he was likely to have
the same trying experience again. He does not
seem to think so as yet but the first vote on his
bill should have been enough TO open his eyes.

LOBBYING OVERDONE.

Mr.. Roosevelt was driven TO protest against
the indecent persistency of the lobby during the
debate on the General Street Railway bill. and
the Assembly took steps to keep the offensive
persons out of the chamber committee rooms
and corridors. In this instance the lobbyists
oyerdd their business, and caused disgust and
indignation. which goes to show that they were
not well generated. Such profuse and impu-
dent solicitation is of course the coarsest and
least skilful work of the kind, and it not only
attracts attention and adverse comment, but
rarely fails to prejudice the legislation in the In
terest of which it is exercised. This kind of
lobbying, therefore, though certain to be de-
nounced, and properly enough, is really not the
most dangerous kind That which does the
work (which mOulds legislation, which not infree
quenty illustrates popular wishes, Is a much
more adroit, subtle and indirect species. 1t is
often exercised in such a way that members who
could not be approached cOrruptly are insensi-
bly, to themselves won over to the side they are
desired to take. Perhaps some of the most sue
cessfu work of the lobby is done without any
thing like actual corruption, butt is all the more
dangerous because of the skill which conceals
lts real ends. The presumption Is that the lob-I

XXyIIth Congressional District Convention
held at Oswego,


After MANY DELAYS the suit OF Mr.. Louoat
against the Union Club was actually brought 10
trial yesterday 1t Is sure to attract great atteh
ton, for nothing has ever interested .c'uo'"en
in this city so intensely as this affair has zone
From O legal point Of view. tho suit is a.so
worth watching. Club matters are geheral,y
managed with such discretion that they rarely
get into court, but when they do many mover
questions are apt TO present themselves. Many
people will probably be surprised to know 'ha'
so far as tho relations of the members TO each
other are concerned. and in regard to discipline
and government, clubs in the eye OF the law
are much more like churches than anything
else.
Mr.. Melton, United States District Attorney
az Charleston, South Carolina, has discontinued
all legal proceedings against persons III his u.s.
t,ict charged with violating the Federal election
laws He is probably right in thinking that
no convictions could be obtained; still 1t may
well be doubted whether it was wise to give up
trying to bring the guilty men to justice. Inc
dispatches say that the citizens in Charleston
and indeed throughout the whole State OF South
Carolina, will feel much relieved that the cases
have been discontinued. 1t Is easy to under
stand why. Crimes against citizenship are so
grave that even in the South the men who COM
nit them freely feel uncomfortable so long as
the matter is talked about, although there may
be little danger that any one will be punished
The Democratic House of Representatives has
now been in session for nearly five months, and
the amount of work the majority have con-
trived to avoid doing Is something remarkable.
Among the important measures which have been
allowed to drift along unattended to are the
National Bankruptcy act, the Educational bill,
the bill to provide a stable basis for National
banks, and one to establish civil government
for Alaska. But one thing has been accom-
plished. The Democratic members set out in
December to make political capital to be used
in the National canvass and they have made
it for the Republican party.
