For the Democratic Advocate.
Too Slow Legislation.

If what was known in its day as The Crit
tenden Compromise" accompanied by the
'Guthrie Resolutions" had become national
law, the late unfortunate civil war would not
have been a page of American history, and
have cast its penumbral shadow across the
hitherto undimned lustre of our republic,
whose brillancy but for it would have far
more rapidly flashed the CLEAN Of its glory into
the iealously guarded haunts where selfish
ambition, amid hollow hearted regal SPLEEN
doris, yields the iron sceptre over the OPP
pressed. The long delayed Inter State Com
merce Bill brought forth a few sectional walls
from those who have no use for such a word
as equity, and who view everything from the
standpoint of their own selfshness. But no
one is really hurt, while the good results are
becoming gradually more and more apparent;
and it has been salvation oil in Il true sense,
especially to the Atlantic slope. which but
for it was destined to lapse to the poverty
grass aud synquefoil fields of fifty years ago,
with this difference-insteado of here and there
interspersed only such occasional spots, with
luxuriant products of virgin soil and vast
forests, few storm blighted trees would but
partially break the cherries monotony of u
vast barren waste.
Now the earlier such legislation as that
in the Mortgage Tax Bill'' is
the better for our overwhelmed
people, whose enterprise stands with hands
hung down, while capital is rapidly becoming
because labor fails to quit
casts; and resources lay undeveloped beneath
the feet of those who try in vain to guard their
treasure, from which they can
only throw out an occasional bait to lure and
absorb at half value that which becomes in
very many instances dead investment, because
the investor is shut off from the legitimate
channels through which TO make it productive
A wholesome check up on the inordinate
cravings of Il selfish few, who cannot be made
to take in the situation till legislation pushes
the light upon them, will give tone and ac-
tirity TO business, and enable paralyzed trade
to throw off its dead weights and move for
ward untrammeled.
Any mind competent of reasoning cannot
fail to see that an all on one side policy is not
in harmony with the laws of God or nature,
unchastised precedences of darker ages to the
contrary Notwithstanding. And it is self ev-
ident that Just laws would require every one
10 pay the taxes on his own property.

The opinion of majority of the United
States Supreme Court in the telephone cases,
sustaining the Bell patents, was read on Mon
day by Justice Blatchford, but it was pre-
pared by Chief Justice Waite. The latter,
owing to slight indisposition, did not feel
able to read so long an opinion, which occu-
pied in its delivery an hour and three. quar-
tiers. Justice Bradley read a dissenting
opinion, and Justices Field and Harlan also
dissented. Justices Gray and Lamar did not
sit in the case. The Bell patents were there
fore sustained by majority of one, the Court
standing four to three.

will reach between a million and half and

James W. Tate, Treasurer of the State of
Kentucky, was on Tuesday suspended by
Governor Buckner. Experts began an ex-
animation Of his books, and up to IL o'clock
that morning had discovered deficit of $780,
600, and that the irregularities seem to run
back for years. Tate's bond is $500, 900.
and is well covered. Tate was first elected
State Treasurer in 1876, having been nomi-
mated by the Democrats, and has been re-
elected continuously at each election since
then. Everybody laughed at the idea of
opposing Honest old Dick Tate.

Shows, Floods and Earthquakes.

BERLIN, March 1S.-The whole northern
and eastern portion of Germany has been
visited by very severe snow storm. There
is so much ice that communication with
Sweden has been suspended for ten days and
with Denmark for six days. The Swedish
ENJOYS appointed to attend the funeral of
Emperor William have not yet arrived i'll this
city.
Disastrous floods are reported throughout
Hungary. Thirty villages have been ruined,
ald the town of Szathmar Semeth has been
partly destroyed. The towns of Bekes and
Csanea are menaeed, and the inhabitants are
struggling for their lives against the overflow
of the river Koros. Many houses have fallen.
PARIS, March ia violent snow storm is
raging here this evening. All communica
ton by rail with Lille and Havre has been cut
off. Mails from here to Switzerland are
showed up.
BERLIN, March l0.-Advices from Cassel
say that snow storm has prevailed there for
three days. In central Germany there is a
complete suspension of highway traffic, and

The New Tariff Bill.

The tariff bill prepared by the Committee
on Ways and Means, is said to be one of con
eession and compromise. 1t is conceded ii
is not what it ought to be, nor strictly III ac-
cordance with the Presidents views, but the
best attainabc under the circumstances. The
committee realized from the outset the diff
culties of the situation, and went to work in
a spirit of compromise 10 draft IL bill that 1t
was hoped would command the support of u
majority of both Houses of Congress, and
disarm such opposition as that of Mr.. Randall
and the small cotere of SO called Democrats
who act with him. But these concessions
and compromises are all in vain. Randall and
his conferees are determined and obstinate in
their opposition. The gFeaterthe concession,
the greater their opposition. There is no
dealing with such recalcitrants except upon
the most heroic principles Of action. Let
Mr.. Mills, the chairman of the committee,
and those Democrats who followin good faith
the recommendations Of President Cleveland,
press the bill which has been so carefully
prepared, without regard TO Mr.. Randall and
his cabal of impracticabes. Peradventure
enough revenue reformers may be found
among the Republicans to supply the places
of those who cannot be Modified by coUces-
sion or compromise. Press the bill to final
passage, if possible. If not, the responsible
ity will rest upon the opposition, and the
Democratic party will 90 before the peoplein

A Pledge Unfulfilled.

The Republican party stands pledged, in
its platform of 1884, to correct the inequall-
ties of the tariff and to reduce the surplus in
the Treasury This pledge not only remains
unfulflled, but the Republican party has re-
sorted to every expedient within its power to
obstruct the Democratic party in its efforts to
modify the tariff so as to reduce the revenue
to the actual needs Of the government. The
surplus in the U. S. Treasury amounts to over
500, 900, 900 annually, and at the close of the
present fiscal year, in July next, is expected
to amount to $3.50, 100000. 1t will thus be
seen that the Federal Treasury is absorbing
the circulating medium of the country, bust
ness is stagnated, the number bankruptcies
is enormous, murmurs of discomfort are heard
all over the land, and yet the Republican
party refuses to take any measures for the
general relief, and binders every attempt OF
the Democrats to reduce taxation and Tighten
the burdens of the people. Mr.. Cleveland
warned the country againstimpending danger,
in his annual message in December last, and
if relief is not speedily given to the people, Il
widespread financial crash will be the inev
liable consequence, and the Republican party
will have to shoulder the responsibility. 1t
can't avoid it, and the people will hold that
party to its responsibility before the tribune
of the country at the Presidential election.
We annex the following extract from the
Republican platform of 1884, that it may be
seen how emphatically that party is pledged
to the reduction of the surplus, and how re
creant it has been to its most sole nm promises
to the people of the country
'The Republican party pledges itself to
correct the inequalities Of the tariff aud TIC
reduce the surplus, not by the vicious and
indiscriminate process ofhorizontai reduction,
but by such methods as will relieve the tax
payer without injuring the laborer, or the
great productive interests of the country.

The Chicago anarchists are becoming trou-
blesome again They have partially recov-
cred from the shock the execution of the
Haymarket murderers gave them, and are
brawling loudly their seditious utterances
again. These miscreants need to be summa-
rily dealt with. 1t is criminal leniency for
the authorities to wait for overt acts; their
every breath is sedition and conspiracy against
the well.being of society. In this the freest
country on the globe, there is no excuse for
anarchy and there should not be the slightest
federation of it. An immediate example
should be made of all those who band or meet
together for such unlawful purposes.

More Hanging Needed.

Albert Curtin, the Anarchist editor address
ed crowd in Chicago, on Sunday night, the
occasion being the seventeenth anniversary of
the French Commune. The Central Labor
Union assumed the responsibilities of the af
fair and arranged the programme, which was
termed Commune Festival At each
side of the stage were pedestals draped in red
bunting, and bearing the busts of August Spies
and Louis Lingg. During the evening life
size oil paintings of Spies, Parsons, Lingg and
Fischer were in turn displayed upon the stage
and received with transports of delight.
Curtin, after giving what he said was an ac-
count Of the commune, reverted to the trial
and execution of the Chicago Anarchists,
saying among other things: s'What say you,
you citizens of this glorious Republic. to the
murder of your brethren? Are we cowed?
Have they spread terror in our ranks? Do
we kiss the hands that shed the best blood
among us? Do we grovel before those who
have placed our champions beneath the cold
sod or behind iron bars? Are there no lsng
err Anarchists in Chicago? There is one. !
am an Anarchist. Let them strangle me if
they dare" He closed with strong appeal
for renewed action and union among the rad
ical host The time has come when we
must range ourselves in serried ranks. No
beating about the bush. If we are Anarchists
let us avow it to the world. Our martyrs live
in our midst Long live Anarchy. Long
live Socialism. Vive la Commune!
