A REAssERTIoN on PRINCIPLES.

The adoption without division of the
resolution offered in the Democratic Ma
tional caucus on Monday .roasserting the
devotion Of the Democratic party TO the
principles Of reform with respect to
our present tariff, as laid down in the
famous message of Cleveland, and pro-
claimed 10y the party in the last nation
al cam paign, is, we think, an excellent
augury not only of harmonious action
on the part of tire Democrats IN the
present Congress when the question of
tariff comes up, but also Of victory in
the rational contest of 1892.
1t is eminently wise and proper to
take this position now in the most for
NAL and solemn way before the course
of legislation has begun. The keynote
of the policy TO be pursued has been
struck and there is no danger of mis-
take or misconception as to the char
acter Of the sound. The whole country
understands clearly that the Democratic
party explicitly and firmly reiterates
its original declaration that it will not
swerve or weaken in its determination
TO reduce rate of taxation that can
only be- justified by condition of war.
Regarded from purely partisan
standpoint, this policy is sanctioned by
the most selfish political expediency
and shrswdness. Apart from the gene
raj victory Of the Democrats in the last
elections, there are very many evidences
that the political sentiment OF the coun.
try has turned against the Republican
party not only on account of its corrupt
methods, but also on account Of its
high protective principles.
No words that can be employed
would be too strong to express the
grateful appreciation which the whole
people Of the United States should en-
terrain for the service which Cleveland
performed in sending forth his great
message on the tariff. That message

Congress Organized.
fWaahfnrfnD Press !

The second century Of national legis-
lation has been duly inaugurated. The
Fifty first Congress was organized yes
terday in decorous manner. IL is the
grandest legislative body on the gle be,
because it comes nearer than any other
to being actually representative of the
people behind it. 1t is grander, too, in
that it represents nation which has
no parallel in the worlds history-a ma
ton whose achievements and whose
prospects transcend anything that the
world has ever seen. We do not say
this in boastfuI spirit. for we have no
desire to indule in glorification. but it
is fitting, at such a time, TO recognize
the facts Of an exceptionally happy
situation.

THE resolution offered on Monday by
Mr.. Peasants, and adopted by the
Council, THAT the Finance Committee
be instructed to include in the annual
budget for 1890 an amount sufficient to
provide a reformatory for youthful
criminals, and to provide for its main
tenance during the remainder OF the
fiscal year. will be the source of graft
fication TO all those who are interested
in the establishment of such an institu-
ton in our midst. This question was
taken up by the TINES and earnestly
pressed upon the consideration Of our
community at largs and our city au-
thorities in particular, as being one OF
the utmost importance to every class.
1t is a source Of much subtraction to us
to find that public attention has been
80 far aroused that our City Council
feels justified in taking the first step to-
wards the establishment and support of
am institution that has SO long been
needed.

Up to Saturday last the nights OF
William Mckinley were harassed with
uncertain possibility of being elevated
to the greatest of our non-elective posts
the Speakership, while Thomas Bracket
Reed rested fairly in reasonable Sc
curity of being the chosen man. Now
Mckinley sleeps sweetly with the as
surance of the most distinguished con-

Reed, who must make up the commit
tees, will lie awake before the coming
wrath of vengeful enemies and disap-
pointed friends. Such is the states

TIE PREsIDENT's MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message is long,
formal and commonplace document,
with the single exception OF the refer
encc which it contains to national con-
troll Of the election Of members OF the
House Of Representatives.
Beginning with the usual convention
alitios. it recommends further restric-
ton of Chinese immigration and more
ENLARGED extradi.ion laws with Great
Britain also revision OF our tariff
"both I'm its administrative features
and in the schedules. y He declares
that the only safe legislation upon the
question Of the coinage Of silver is that
which 'wIll secure the equality OF the
two coins in their commercial uses
and in general way he endorses the
plan Of Secretary Window on this sub
iect. He also condemns trusts when or
ganized to crush out "all healthy COM
peti,ion:n and calls for a closer examln-
alton into the moral character of those
seeking the benefit of our naturaliza-
ton laws.
He recommends the increase OF our
navy; and also that pensions shall be
allowed those sailors and soldiers who
were mus cred out Of service in sound
health, but have since been incapaci-'
tated for labor by disease or casualty.
He recommends also, greater protec-
lection for brakemen on Interstate
railways, by requiring the use OF I'M
proved safety appliances; and suggests
that the weather bureau be attached to
the agricultural department. He de-
clares that IT will be his pleasure as 1t is
his duty, to- see that the civil service
law is executed with frmness and inn
partiality.'
He recommends q national grant in
aid of the education Of the negro,
"who, " he says, lin spite of ignorance
and poverty, which was our shame and
not theirs, has made remarkable ad-
vances in education and the acquisition
of property" Finally, in language
most forcible and emphatic. he invokes
the attention of Congress to the cou-
sideration Of "such measures within
its well-defined constitutional powers
as will secure. to all our people free
exercise of the right of suffrage, and
every other right under the constitu-
ton and laws of the United States.
Such are the salient points of the mes
sage. We propose hereafter to refer TO
them more in detail, particularly, how
ever, to the very explicit utterances on
the Federal relation to the negro,
which, as the President declares, re
quires the National Government to pro-
tect him as litigant, juror or witness in
the courts, as an elector for member OF
Congress, or as peaceable traveller
upon our interstate railways"

A Surprising Verdict.
IunlfInnnro untnlI

The verdict yesterday morning in the
case of the Navassa rioters was very
much criticised, and many persons
openly condemned the final outcome Of
the trial. While we are not prepared
to say that the finding of the jury was
wholly unjust, yet it certainly was
most surprising. According to the evil
dence presented, Key and Tasker were
jointly engaged in the murder of James
Mahon. The latter pulled the victim
from his hiding-place and held him fast
while the former killed him; yet, &C
cording TO the verdict rendered, one is
guilty Of murder in the first degree and
the other is acquitted. And the other
sixteen men indicted as abettors and
accessories are ignored, the jury an
nounciDg in court that they could not
agree.

The policy Of Mr.. Window begins to
unfold itself. He is plainly intending
gradually to withdraw so much OF the
Treasury deposits from the national
banks as is not needed for the current
use of the government, and to use the
money in the purchase OF the bonds.
lie has given notice to banks,
some 260 in number, that by the
18th OF January-that is to say,
in a little more than six weeks
he would call 10 per cent. of the
amounts held by them respectively.
1t was probably some mixing of this
purpose that was obtaiued by the
bears" some days since, and used as
the basis OF sensational report that
forty millions we're to be withdrawn at
once. No such intention was of course,
ever entertained by Mr.. Window or
could be. The Withdrawal will in all
not be much over half of the deposits
it will be made at intervals of six weeks.
and in installments Of not ever 10 per
cent, or at the rate Of about $3.50, 900 a
week.

The most reinar ksblc feature IN the

dict they have rendered on the

receives a rebuke for its general pohcy.
but it is in every case milder than the
rebuke administered to its leaders. we
doubt IL the history Of the country will

baton so generally and so poiptedly ex-
ore ssed for the men put in nomination

Democratic Congressional Action.


In renominating Speaker Carlisle and
the other officials who served during
the last Congress, the Democratic Rep.
resentstives have not merely compli-
mented deserving officers-they have
also expressed their devotion to the prin.
ciples which those gentlemen have so
ably served. 1t is 10 be legitimately in
ferred that the action OF the Democrats
means firm defense of their rights
against Republican effort to increase
power by breaking down the rules and
seating defeated candidates Of their
party instead of the elec,ed Democrats.
The adjournment of the caucus, al
though probably unavoidable. was none
the less regrettable. There should be no
niore adjournments. At to-night's
meeting the course Of the minority
should be distinctly marked out, and
the members OF the committee to guide
