lican policy.

IT is limited that Congress will be asked to
increase the number of Supreme Court
judges to fifteen. There are now nine, and
perhaps Mr.. Lamar might be able to squeeze
in as the sixth new one.-Milwaukee Senti-
mel
A bill to do this has been before Congress
for years.. There are but eight members of
the court living. If Mr.. Lamar gets in he
will make the ninth. and then, when the
number Of the court is increased, if the
Southern Confederacy remains Sin the sad
de-" the Democracy will have eight of the
justices to seven Republicans. This is the
size and outlines of the scheme to confeder-
atize the Supreme Court. Mr.. Lamar's ap-
pointment is the first move in the plan. The
new justices need not all be Southern men;
history shows that Southern ideas never had
more superserviceable agents than Northern
doughfaces.

THE nine Re publican Senators in Ohio who
bolted the caucus nominations and joined the
Democrats in the organization of the Senate
have issued an address to the public attempt
ing to justify their action. It is very silly
document, and puts the boilers in a bad light
The amount of it all is they bolted because
they could not have things their way, and the
worst is there was question of principle
involved, nothing but few paltry Offices

SENATOR ALDRIcH, of Rhode Island, ad-
dressing the Providence Board of Trade,
few days ago, took decided ground in favor of
a reduction of the revenue aid revision of
the tariff. But he is not in favor of revision
on the Cleveland line. ST am in favor of a
revision of the tariff" he said, .sfor the
strengthening and preserving of the pro-
tective principle. 1t is battle tor freedom
or slavery, and I enter it as protectionist,
believing in the preservation and strengthen
ing of our protective principles" That is
American talk. AS to specific measures,
Senator Aldrich favors repeal of the tobacco
tax, large reduction of the duty on sugar,
and removing the tax from alcohol used in
the arts. This would effect large reduction
of revenue and practically dispose of the
surplus. Then he would revise the tariff in
the interest of protection. These suggestions
indicate pretty clearly the drift of Repub-
lican policy.

A DEMOCRATIC organ, noting the slight
attentios paid to Mr.. Voorhees, tariff speech
by Republican papers, says it is because his
arguments are unanswerable. Well, hardly
that. The truth is, Republican papers Lad
all the amusement they wanted in demolish-
ing Mr. Cleveland's funny little wool message
and further amateur efforts in that line have
ceased to interest them. Life is too short for
40 much repetition.

THE Atlanta Constitution prints q lengthy
paper from Hon. A. o. Bacon, leading Geor-
gia Democrat, in which the absolute repeal of
the internal tax system is demanded on purely
Democratic grounds. The Atlanta Constitu-
ton denounces the internal revenue as can
infamous system" and congratulates Georgia
and the country that Senator Brown has in
troduced resolution declaring that internal
taxes must be repealed. Thus is Grover
Cleveland's message responded to in the
grand old Democratic State OF Georgia.

say that the Journal is not aware of the ex-

continue to decrease in proportion as its
management and economy become more
