MAKING Al RECORD.

Can anything be more painful and
disheartening than the present pro.
ceedings in Congress It is now a
regular machine in grinding out APP
preparations for all kinds of projects
with no other view than that of
wasting the surplus. Among the
most prolific of these is that to be
spent upon public buildings. So
much as 1000, 900 are reported for
public buildings, and the House is
engaged in passing bill upon bill
| with the most reckless lavishment.
In this great foray upon the Treas
ury the Republicans vote solidly as
a party, whilst majority of the
Democratic members are voting
with the Republicans. OF course
the pivotal idea of the Republicans,
in voting for these expenditures, is
to absorb the surplus SO that there
need be no reason for any reduction
of the revenue from tariff customs.
We cannot conceive what those of
our own Democratic members
can mean in voting with Republi-
cans for these extraordinary expen-
ditures which are utterly without ex-
cuse except that the locality may
want this money expended in its
midst, whether in the interest of the
public service or not.
Besides all this waste of money
there is nothing seen in either House
but effort to increase salaries and
the number of office holders.
Economy, prudence, care for the
public treasury, are scoffed and
scorned. The weight upon the peo-
pie and upon their industries are
not thought of. The whole is pell.
nell squabble for the treasures of
the people, to be distributed as lar
CESS among the few who are to ham
die the money and few localities.
Our Democratic members seem to
forget by their votes in what posi-
tion they are placing our next candi.
date tor the Presidency. Mr.. Cleve.
land must veto the great mass of
these projects, must bear the respon-
sibility. Will not our Democratic
members share some of it by defeat
ing Neutrality-suspicious. Mail, Dem.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The new tariff bill introduced by
Chairman Mills, is in direct opposi-
ton to West Virginia's interests.
He would push coal, wool, iron, &C.,
towards the free list, when in this
state these industries need all the
protection they can get.
Mr.. Mills, of course, doesn't expect
that this infant prodigy. which he
and his associates have Matched out,
will live. He knows that it cannot,
for there will be just as distinct op.
position from the Democrats as from
the Republicans. Mr.. Randall dis
approves of the bill, as we'll he may.
To place tin plate on the free list,
for instance, was q direct snub of
the Pennsylvania leader, and he is
reported to have characterized the
bill to a friend as simply "vile."
The wool cause disgusts the Ohio
Democrats, and they will fight the
bill so long as free wool is in it. The
tobacco clause arouses general dis
satisfaction. 1t is beyond a ques-
ton that a bill to abolish the tobac-
co tax, wholly or in part, would go
through the House almost without
dissent, as being ameasure demand
ed by almost all the country, but
not word does the production of
Texas craftsmanship say on the SUBJ
ject. Mr.. Mills insists that the ln-
ternal revenue measures shall be
left apart from tariff measures.
Senator Vance, a Democrat of
Democrats, says dlstinctIvely, at
will never suit my people in North
Carolina. We want a repeal of the
tobacco tax, and the committee has
made a very grave mistake in not
combining the internal revenue
measures with the bill. | am very
much afraid" said he, "that if they
let this bill go before the House as
it is, the Republicans will Immediate
" offer to amend it by repeating the
tobacco tax, so that they will reap
all the credit in my state, and we
will get all the blame for neglecting
it. 1t will never do for the Republi.
cans to have that credit. We
should have taken the lead.n
Senator Bate. ofTennessee, agreed
fully with Senator Vance, and for
the same reasons. He doubts very
much whether the party will be able
to carry the bill as it stands.

AN INTERESTING STUDY OF NEWS
PAPERS.

Henry r. Elliot, a New York
journalist, makes an interesting
calculation in the March Forum, to
show the relative Importance that
New York papers put on the differ.
ent kinds of news.
The New York and Cincinnati
morning dailies take the lead as re-
CARDS space devoted to crimes. the
Cincinnati papers being foremost
by very slight fraction. Cincin-
natl also pays the least attention to
religion, and devotes the largest
space to markets, of the whole list,
and her ratio of editorial comment
is as low as any. Boston has an
eye to the main chance, as it is
shown by the high market ratio but
she gives seven per cent. of her
space to religion and four and a
half to books, in both cases leading
the list. She is also one Of the few
cities which accord an appreciate
fraction of space to art, while crime
as theme sinks nearly to one.third
the prominence signed to it in New
York or Ci'.c.nua j, and to one half
the ratio uf the press aG large. Phila.
delphla's newspaper average is sew.
erely conventional. 1t approaches
nearer the national average than
that of any other city. In attention
to athletic sports and labor interests
there is a slight excess, in religion a
slight falling off. We see from
samples of the leading and typical
papers of Chicago and st. LOUIS"
says Mr.. Elliot, 8" that the citizens OF
both places have about the normal
American appetite for crime; that
st. Louis, however, likes a rather
larger share of salvation with it, is
much fonder of sports, and triae
more occupied with business. Chi.
cago's editors, however, are allowed
to talk twice as much as those of
st. Louis and if a city can be heard
for its much speaking Chicago
should compel attention, as her edl.
torial ratio leads the country"
