OF course the Tory organs all swear that
the finding of the commission is unfavorable to
Parnell 1t was as unfavorable as the mem
bers of the commission dared to make it, and
probably the chief reason why it was not more
so was the publicity Of the fact that the chief
evidence against the Irish leader was forgery.
But the Tory papers pass that fact without mo-
tice. For that are they organs

THE dull and deadly propriety Of the
Democratic canvass for the Mayoralty nomina-

at the ward primaries last evening. There is
comfort in this evidence that the rock-rooted
Democracy of Pittsburg has not eschewed its
interest in the practical politics which tends in
the direction of slugging.

THERE is a most promising prospect Of
trouble over at the Bijou Theater next
Saturday night. 1t all transpired in a very
pleasant way. Margaret Mather's manage
ment wished to secure the services of local
wrestler for bout in Shakespeare's las You
Like It." with Charles Welles, the Oliver of
the cast and an amateur of ability in heavy
sports. In this play it is decidedly materialIto
the hero that he should win the fall, to turn
sympathy in his favor. A prominent wrestler,
champion of several counties, consented to un-
dertake the mission; but here difficulty arose,
The arrangements for the meeting were made
in famous local resort where the parties to il
were surrounded by friends and admirers of the
champion. When terms were arranged it was
explained that of necessity Welles must win
the final fall Unschooled in dramatic motives
and true to the spirit of the sport he repre-
sented, he insisted that the affair be mo hippo
drome," and the crowd responded ''that the
best man must win." Here was a dilemma.
Welles was at best only an amateur and the
fall must be his. 1t was then conceded that
merit should decide the affair; but It was pri-
vately arranged by the management that some
one would give hand, on the sly. If his
prowess was not sufficient. By some means
this reached the ears Of the champions sym
pathizers, and a delegation visited the Bljou

Fighting the Tax Raisers.

The republican revolt against Daven-
portism was materially strengthened by
the declaration of Senator Teller on prop
ositions to increase war taxes on articles
of necessity. observes the New York Star
The Colorado senator announced that he
was prepared to resist vigorously any
change in the rules for the purpose of
fastening the passage of the tariff bill,
cor any other BILL The latter observa-
ton which was known by every one to
refer to the fraud and force election BILL
was accompanied by a very decided ex
preston Of opinion that. under the exist
ing rules. legislation had gone on as fast
as was compatible with decency and due
elaboration.
The votes of Senators Plumb, Paddock,
Henderson and Ingalls, joined with Mr..
Teller's against the increase of importing
taxes. gave one more than the number
requisite to defeat the republican plan of
campaign, if all five votes should continue
to be cast together. But this is not to be
relied upon; and indeed, Dir. ingalls, dec>
lsration about the necessity for passing
an election bill goes to negative such ex-
pectation. In the house of representa-
tives those who voted against details of
the crazy quilt ia riff came into line under
the crack of Reeds whip on the final
passage of the measure. However, there
is plainly better chance for the opposi-
ton in the senate now than there was in
the house when that body was absolutely
dominated by the ex>cZar.
The conservative republican opposition
In the senate affords amply good ground
for democrats and constitution respect
ing republicans to build upon. If pub
lie sentiment sustains and spplauds
the movement against Caesarism. the
friends of freedom will win. If the people
are supine, Davenport and Reed will
prevail with senators as they did with
the representatives.

THE assiduity with which our republi-
can contemporaries have referred to what
they term Ben Cables "bar1" would lead
one TO suppose that money was entirely
disassociated with republican politics.
That the good and truly loyal patriots of
the @. o. D. shouted themselves hoarse in
every campaign simply for the sake of
the party. That the poll workers ten
dered their services gratuitously. That
such demsgogues as McPheeters spoke
nightly at cross>road school houses with
out compensation. and that in short the
whole gang of republican strikers and
blowers were performing service of
love. The contrary is true, however.
There hasn't been campaign in this con-
gressional district, in this county or
city, in the management of which the
republican party has not expended treble
of what the democrats have. This year
will be no exception to the rule. While
the party press is expOstulating loudly
against Mr. Cables" bsr'Pevery republican
postmaster, postal clerk, mail carrier and
other federal employees is being assessed
at good round figure. They are made
to pay under threat of removal whatever
the committee designates. So whether
Mr.. Cable spends little or much in the
way of party organization. it may be de-
pended upon that the republicans will
not be outdone in that respect. Money
is the lever which moves the republican
machine. With 1t they purchased the
presidency in 1888, and secured major
ity in congress.
