When the mine-owners of the Pacific slope
gress, nine years ago, somebody suggested that
every member OF either house who insisted that
the people OF the United states should load
their pockets down with cart-wheeI dollars
should be compelled To take his salary in that
coin. The unanimity of the popular response
In favor of this proposal was almost startling.
The only persons who found fault with IL were
the Congressman concerned.
The advocates of honest butter as opposed to
artificially favored grease might properly urge
that every Senator and Representative who, by
his vote a lawmaker, favors grease op-
posed TO butter, should be required to use the
bogus instead of the real article in his own
household IL the manufacturers of imitation
butter were compelled to prove their faith by
their works in such way, we should soon see
the end of the oleomargarine crusade; and 1t Is
average Congressman is no stronger than that
of the average refiner of soap-fat-
After all, though, the question comes down TO
this: Is Congress prepared TO face the country
with the record of having protected the iron
industry, the glass industry, the wooden indus
try, the cotton industry. the sugar industry
and host of others at the expense Of the far
mer who builds house to live in, buys clothes
to wear or drinks his coffee sweetened, and yet
refusing to protect that farmer In his turn, in n
branch of husbandry which really lies at the
bottom of all other branches conducted by men
OF modest means?

The Canadian craftsmanship whose concep-
Hon of an enlightened foreign policy involves
the confscation OF friendly vessels which enter
Dominion ports to trade with the natives and
leave money behind them in exchange for the
local products they carry away, does not i'm
press all our northern neighbors with favor. In
New Brunswick, especially, the people are re-
ported as disguised with the course of their
authorities, whose dog-in-the-manger tactics
are robbing the poor coast-dwellers Of q large
part Of their Income.

The statement that Gen. Miles has offered
fifty dollars for every indian or Indians head
brought into camp, and two thousand dollars
for Geronimo or his head, is printed to-day
side by side with story that Miss Folsom
denies her intention to marry the President
Both announcements are interesting, If true
But the report about Gen. Miles come from a
quarter somewhat notorious for its achieve
ments with the long bow in journalism; and as
for Miss Folsom, her instructors in good
English have probably taught her that she will
never marry any one, though she may confer
pride and happiness upon some good man by
being married to him.

The debate In the Senate yesterday, In which
Senators Ingalls, and Voorhees, both grew need
lessly hot, was not nearly so pertinent to the
subject In hand as 1t would have been to
another which Mr.. COckrel suggested at an
earlier stage. If Mr.. Ingalls, believes Commits
sioner Black to be enjoying pension TO which
he Is not entitled 1t is his business official
guardian of the public funds to introduce bill
repeating that pension. That would bring up
for discussion, with legitimate provocation
and in a calm and judicial temper, the whole
question of General Blacks status a PEN
sioner, and the circumstances under which his
allowance of a hundred dollars a month was
granted to him. The tendency to run Con-
gressional debates OFF the main and ON to side
issues Is not deserving of encouragement at
any time, and is particularly to be deprecated
30 late in the session as this.
