whole time of the Senate may be
given to the tariff bill.
The action of the democrats of the
House having shown so plainly that
they do not intend to allow any
consideration to be given to the
several important pension bills,
which have passed the Senate, some
of the republican members are de-
termined to make the point of "no
quorum" against everything brought
forward by the democrats. This
will neoessitate the return of the
many democrats who are now absent
making stump speeches.
That this country is nation with
a big an" was thought to have been
definitely settled some years ago,
but Senator Beck wanted to strike
out the word "nation" and substitute
the words Omitted States" in the
Senate resolution accepting the
statues of Gen. Phil. Kearney and
Richard Stockton from the state of
New Jersey. Senator Sherman sat
down on Mr.. Beck so hard that he
was glad to withdraw his suggestion.
Senator Stewart made a personal
explanation in the Senate in reply
to the charge made by Commissioner
Stockslager of the General Land
Office, that the Senator's amendment
to an appropriation bill providing
that no part of an item of 100000,
to prevent timber spoilation, should
be used in the investigation of any
case, or in the prosecution of any
person in the mining region for cut
ting flor mining or domestic pur-
poses) scrub timber unfit to be
sawed into lumber, was in the inter
est of timber thieves. After show
ing that his amendment was in the
interest of the honest hard working
citizens, Mr.. Stewart declared that
the Office of the Commissioner of
the General Land Office has become
the synonym of wickedness and op-
preston, and was bringing reproach
on the Government If such things
were to go on, the people of the
western states would know who
were their friends.

A Good Platform.

The Republicans of Wisconsin,
by their representatives in conven-
ton assembled, heartily approve of
the nomination of Benjamin Harri-
son for president aud Levi p. Nor
ton for yice-president, as candidates
worthy of the warm and united sup
port of the republican party. They
approve the platform adopted by
the National Republican Convention
in June last, as outlining the policy
best calculated to maintain and pro-
mote the welfare of the country
and the prosperity of its people Of
ell classes and occupations.
With regard to the affairs of
state they offer as the best guarantee
for the future and the strongest
claim to the continued confidence
of the people, the record of the
present republican administration
and its predecessors; it is a record
of the honest, economical, impartial
and judicious application OF the
various departments of the state

Trusts In England.

The free,trade writers and speak
ers declare that "there are no trusts
in England" and have interviewed
some London free-traders to prove
their allegations. The statements
denying Mr., Blaine's allegation that
"England is plastered all over with
trusts" proceed from the New York
Times, and are eagerly copied into
the newspapers of this country that
support Cleveland. But here is
other evidence, and it comes from a
newspaper that also supports Cleve-
land-a British newspaper. The
London Ne,cS says:
THE public are continually, hearing Of the
doings of syndfcGtes and other associations
which, like Il bundle of sticks, are poloerfut
through combination. Associations of the kind
sometimes offend against public taste and the
public sense of morality. but success covers a
multitude OF lesser faults, and it must be con-
ceded that financial unions have been success
full quite as often as they deserved success.
Syndcates are like financial armies. III we'll
generated and opportunity serves. they gam
their battles; if they attempt - force an inn
pregnable position they are defeated. The
ethics of war are the ethics Of finance, repug-
nant as both may pe 10 an unlnl passioheu OBJ
server"
These are "trusts", and the denial
that they exist in England is mere
dishonest play upon words. The
Ne,oS also says, III regard to the
English mental syndicate and the
result of its operations, that it shows
"to what an inconvenience the or
binary trader is exposed when these
colossal syndicates disturb the
course of the markets" 1t then
adds:
by the improved system tmeanng syndi-
cates) which is Hot0 80 much IN fd5Or it Is pos
sihle to conduct enormous and, to the trade,
deeply disturbing operations of the kind with
ont mourning Odium such as would in past
times have driven men from the society OF
steady-going citizens and brought on distrust of
their operations, which is nearly allied to dis
credit In business life. These disasters arc
avoided when knot OF men form syndicate,
or, better still, a joint stock company-a thing
which has no soul TO be saved nor body TO be
kicked-and so we, in the old country, are now
exposed to many of the disturbances to which
American trade is subjected by colossal speou-
lators in the United states"
As to the fact that trusts are as
great an evil in England as in the
United States, there seems to be no
doubt Chicago Journal.

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

Senator Davis, from the pension
committee, has reported to the SEN
ate a substitute for the bill granting
Mrs. General Sheridan pension of
$4,000 a year, which reduces the
amount to $500 year. Could not
this wealthy Government well afford
to give the widow of "Little Phil"
Sheridan $4,000 year? The wild
ows of other men who never did
one tenth for the United States that
Sheridan did have been given $4,000
pensions without an objection.
The Chinese bill having passed
both Houses of Congress, is now in
the hands of Mr.. Cleveland.
Senator Edmuuds, owing to his
inability from physical weakness 10
speak out of doors, has written the
national re publican committee that
he will not be able to enter actively
into the canvas by making speeches.
The Senator regrets the necessity
for this step very much, as he is
deeply interested in the success of
the ticket this year, but his ply
sicians had to be obeyed.
When it was first stated several
days ago that the Treasury surplus
for the present fiscal year would be
very small, owing to the large APP
preparations by the present Con
oress, the democrats attempted to
pooh-pooh the whole thing as a re.
publican campaign story, but they
are now laughing on the wrong side
of their faces. Representative Mills,
Secretary Fairchild and President
Cleveland have been in consultation
over the matter, endeavoring to get
some plan to hide the confusion of
the democratic party, which sud
denly finds itself in the midst of a
red hot campaign with its guns
spiked, and its ammunition-"that
awful Treasury surplus"-gone. An
official statement has been issued by
the Treasury department showing
that the appropriations made and to
be made by bills now pending,
which are certain to pass, amount to
425,S70,5I4, and the estimated re-
ceipts Of the Government from all
sources is $440,563, 1874, which would
leave a surplus of sl4,69s, 220. But
very important item was not In
cluded in the Treasury statement.
Although not quite one sixth of the
I fiscal year has yet gone by, there is
falling off in the estimated re-
ceipts from customs of over $1,000
600. If this keeps up for the rest of
the fiscal year at the same ratio, we
should have q deficiency instead of
a surplus. 1t is no wonder that the
democratic leaders are perplexed.
Their free trade programme has
been headed off in an entirely unex-
peoted manner.
In spite of Senator Morgan's
threats of war with England, the
fisheries treaty was rejected by the
solid vote of the republican Senator'S.
The Senate finance committee are
giving daily hearings to po-:ies
interested in the tariff. 1t is now
stated that the substitute for the
Mills bill will not be reported until
about September IS. It is expected
by that time that the appropriation
bills and other important legislation
will be out of the way, so that the
