There has been considerable consulta.
ton among Democrats who are on
posed to the Morrison bill as to wheth-
er they should take any part in the
general debate ON that measure. n
has been decided that they will
do 80. Mr.. Warner, OF Ohio
has prepared speech in de.
Tense OF the tariff plank Of the Ohio
platform, of which he WAS the author
Frank Hurd will attack the platform
ON two grounds first, that it il not a
frank declaration OF the
faith OF the Democratic
party In Ohio ON the tariff'
questions. and, second, that the only
lair Interpretation TO be given 10 IL II
that II isa declaration not in favor of
tariff for revenue only, or even of
Incidental projection, but an affirma-
tive plank In favoro OF protection itself
80 far as this goes 1t fairly agrees
with what Gen. Warner win main-
tain to be the true intent and meaniny
OF the platform. 1t Is said that Mr.
Eaton of Connecticut will also sneah
against the Morrison bill. He claims
70 be tarlfi-reformer, but ipsists thai
horizontal reduction OF tho tariff will
neither reduce the redundant surnlns

Tile Coming American Journal.

The newspaper that fills the highest
functions of journalism must be owned
by the men who make Ii. The most
threatening evil of current journalism
is the hidden hand of outside capital
ists, laid upon it to shape its opinions
and manipulate it's views. If this evil
gains ground, as seems inevitable, In
an age when rage for money-getting
has taken possession of the mass of In.
teliigent minds and obscured higher
aims, the remedy will be found
on journals of opinion.
The costly work of news.gath.
ing may be left to the papers which
control large capital, while the public
turns for aggressive and candid views
on the events and issues of the times to
small and cheaply-made sheets which
are under no obligations to stock
holders. In France there are scores of
successful journals which make no
effort at covering the field of the
worlds news. They are organs of
opinion only. Each is the production
of a group of original
minds, and each represents the gem
eral ideas of n segment If French polit-
lcal or industrial life. There are indi.
cations that such phase of Journalism
Is approaching in this country.-E. v.

motion to strike out the enacting
clause Of the measure will follow his
speech. 1t is possible that some other
Democrats who are opposed 10
the bill will contribute speeches
on the subject, although 1t is not
certain on account of the disposition
to forward the debate as rapidly as
practicable. The Morrison men very
properly are not willing that Demo-
crafts who are opposed to the bill shall
speak in Democrat time, and they will
therefore be Obliged to depend mainly
on the courtesy of Republicans to
whom time has been allotted.
