rHr sENAroRs HEsIrATED.

MS announced this morning with
soma flourish of trumpets that the
Republican Senators have resolved TO
bring up a tariff bill to be debated and
passed upon by the present session OF
Congress. The purpose OF the pro-
,,oaed bin ia not so much to furnish
an offset to the Mills bill
as il is to make harmonious
basis on which the Republ- :
cans propose to place their arguments
in this canvass. The Mills bill has
offsets enough, by the way, to wreck
a much more cohesive scheme OF iegis-
lation than any Texan statesman Is
likely to furnish during the next haif
century.
1t is somewhat surprising, however,
that the Republican majority IN the
Senate should have hesitated at all
to bring forward a Tariff bill. The
Mills bill was fairly under way at the
time of the st. Louis convention and
Mr, Cleveland had no trouble IN get
ting for it unanimous endorsement.
In the Republican Convention at
Chicago this order of things was re-
versed. There was no Republican
measure of that sort to endorse, but
the convention expressed itself in I'M
eauivocal terms on the question and
80 laid down basis of action for the
Republican Senate to adopt. With the
Chicago platform in view there should
have been no hesitation among Repun
leans at Washington in the matter.
The surplus is placed at $sO,OOO,OOO
annually. Internal Revenue Commas
sioner Miller reported yesterday that
about $50, 1000, 900 had been collected in
the current year just ended on tobacco.
The duty on sugar amounts to
$5S, 900, 900. The Chicago platform
says that both of these sources OF
revenue ought to be cut off. Thetax
on tobacco should be removed, be-
cause it is largely paid by
the producers, the farmers, and
because it is very exacting and
annoying tax, levied first during the
war. The duty on sugar ought to be
removed. because it is an article CT
food which enters more largely into
the daily needs Of the people than any
other one thing, except -four, and
which has thus far been pro
duced only ia small and unim
portant quantities il this country.
Here then are the two items in the
fiscal system Of the country which
the Republican Senators should have
pounced upon at once. This would
have saved them from the demoralizing
influence Of hesitation and would have
kept their action consistently in line
with the basis Of the Chicago plat
form.

In response / desire to say that It.
inducements which our town offers
are many and various. 1t is one of
the most desirable places for persons
OF means to reside on account OF the
beautiful lake and surrounding reiul-

fashionable pleasure resort. Not
many years ago it was an obscure
place. Nature indeed layishly
adorned the place; the art Of man
improved natures handiwork and now
it is visitsd by many thousands of
people every summer for revivals and
