RANK INCONSISTENCY.
The Double Rnder Policy Of Mckinley and
Ills Shallow-Pated Crowd.

ill1 N-AAlAh - sAAN'A NAN'''
The ayowed purpose Of the Mckinley
tariff bill is to discourage and, as far as
practicable, to prevent the importation
Of foreign goods. II articles largely
consumed in this country can not be pro-
iuccd here as cheaply as they can be
imported the duties are to be raised so
that manufacturers may be encour-
aged to supply the home market. That
is the general principle Of the bill as its
friends present it. In palmer words, it
proposes to plunder the great body oj
he people by compelling them to pay
extravagant prices for articles Of neces-
stty which under a liberal tariff they
might buy more cheaply.
One sure effect of the policy adopted
in the bill must be to greatly diminish
the expectation Of American products
Commerce can not be maintained on the
onc-sided principle. No country can
afford to permanently maintain trade
in which we take nothing but gold from
it in exchange for the merchandise we
export That is proposition
which will hardly be disputed
Nevertheless, while Mckinley and
his tarifiite followers are thus
preparing to abolish the foreign com~
mcrce of the United States, the same
party proposes to offer millions of the
peoples money in bribes for the estab-
lishment Of lines OF ocean steamers to
foreign countries, Such bribes are man
ifestly the only means by which the
proposed lines can be maintained, for,
as consequence Of the tariff bill, if the
confessed purpose Of its authors and ad-
yocates is accomplished, there can be nc
commerce to give the steamships legiti-
mate and remuneratiVe employment
Any thing more absurdly inconsistent
than this double-endor policy of the
dominant party can not well be
imagined. One end of the scheme is
directed to the development Of larger
foreign commerce; the other to the
abolishment of the commerce we al
ready have. In one point only these
conflicting policies are harmonious
The suppression of foreign trade is &C
be achieved by robbing the people, and
the creation of steamship lines for the
maintenance of the trade which is to be
abolished will also be accomplished by
plundering the Treasury. We shall
have great fleets sailing in ballast sup
ported by subsidies, while we pay three
prices for homemade goods, instead oi
buying for fair price such goods as the
ships might bring. Chicago Globe.

SENATOR QUAYS CASE.
His Election to the Senate Not yindlca
ton of His Character.


Since Mr. NJ, S. Quay, United States
Senator from Pennsylvania, was charged
on specific evidence with being y thief,
sufficient time has elapsed to make it
plain that he will not hazard an inyesti-
cation. He has neither asked justice
from the Senate nor from the courts
where he might secure it, if innocent,
by suits against the newspapers publish
ing the evidence on which is based the
charge Of larceny against him,
His subordinates in the Pennsylvania
Republican State Committee have
asserted that he has been vindicated by
his election to Office subsequent to the
time when it is alleged that he COM
mitted the thefts from the treasury OF
Pennsylvania. This view OF the case is
mistaken one. The charges hitherto
made have been in vague hints-chiefy
in the form Of threats from Republicans
that they "would lift the lid OFF, the
State treasury in case Quay pursued a
course indicated by them as ono he must
not pursue, The oNds here sought were
not the ends Of justice, but of political
blaCkmail, and the fact that tho lid was
not lifted - that compromises were
effected as a result Of which Quay was
sent to the Senate instead of to tho

merely suggests that Quay preferred

THE EMPTY CRADLE.

Spring violets DER thy hillock bed
Year after year their blooms have shed,
Ny little darling Yet thy face,
In memory's crystal glass trace;
Thy mirthiul voice as fresh hear
Ringing in airy fancy's car;
The same bright look. the same blithe tone,
Delight me as in seasons flown;
The wastoiul year, may speed their flight,
But can not hide thee from my sight.
Hark! As linger IN thy room,
Darken'd with evenings deepening gloom,
Mcthinks the sobbing breeze that blows
Thro' hawthorn bush and crimson rose,
Watts me thy signing, bllmy breath,
From fields beyond the realms Of death.
Methinks hear thy steps once more
Fall lightly DER the nursery floor;
I see thy soft angelic face,
Illumin'd with superHal grace;
catch thy laugh, thy pratting call,
Discern thy shadow on the wall:
haste to greet my chcrub guest,
To fold my darling TO my breast.
Alas in vain-I do but grasp
The cheating shadows in my clasp,
The two round arms that sccm'd to hold
My neck in their embracing fold,
Have vanishd-aud the golden hair
Was but an image OF the air;
The snowy brow that bcam'd so bright
Hath melted from my wistful sight
And naught Is real save the rain
OF drowning tears my checks that stain!
In the night.watchcs, Oft | start
From dreams to press thee TO my heart,
Dreaming my infants lips were prcs'
Like dowy rose leaves to my breast;
All vain delusion-I bcnod
Thy little cradle bare and cold.
But though thy tender, twining form
fold not in embraces warm,
Yet in the moonlight beam that falls
Sercncly DER these SOmbcr walls,
] catch thy radiant form Of light,
Thy outstrctch'd arms, like pinions bright,
Waving athwart that hickor.ng BEAM
In bencdictiOn Of my dream;
A sainted Shape from worlds Of bliss,
Bending to print loving kiss,
Oft in the roseate clouds that GOat
Thro' Heavenly azure seas remote,
see thee in resplendont dress
Lean DER, to watt a soft Caress;
Thou bcckoncst with angelic hand
Toward the bright, celestial land,
To crystal domcs supremely fair
And fain wouldst guide my footsteps there,
To Heavenly City-where no blight
Is known, no sorrow and no night!

CITY DIVINE

Why should any city not on the
border of bankruptcy part with water
works that are a municipal possessiOnT
Why should a city that has within its
borders enough honest men to manage
its affairs, pass pipes and reservoirs
and mains and valves into the control
Of individuals, and then hastily frame
special laws and ordinances to protect
these individuals from m~olestatiOn and
interference or eve from competition?
Long experience in this country has
demonstrated that the argument on the
water question is with city ownership.
The battle owe the question has been a
long one in eastern cities: in many in
stances il has been exceedingly bitter.
Unless il be the manufacturers of gas,
there is nc more arrogant monopoly
than the average water company
has proved itself to be. Helena
knows what IL is to expect an
abundant supply of water and
be disappointed. For years Butte paid
for water that was never furnished. IL
has a water problem to-day. Young
cities may wisely take advantage of a
water supply held i'm private ownership,
under circumstances where the bust
ness is a venture which the public
would not care to undertake, but that
any prosperous city already established
and I'm possession of sources of supply
and q service for distribution should
part with these and confer franchises
on individuals is more than strange.
That is what Ogden did a few weeks
ago and, il half that is told about the
transaction is true, the transfer is a
scandal. A movement with the same
end in view is under agitation in salt
Lake City.
IL salt Lake is like the average
American city, it cannot easily give
good reasons for surrendering owner
ship and control of its water plant. II
it finds itself unable to handle property
on a basis that is a match for private
management, il is not the. city II is
cracked up To be.

NE MORAL DAY.

The years that separate us from the
realities of civil war deepen the interest
taken by the American people i'm the
observance of Memorial day. A quar-
ter of a century has sped since the
eventful days when the life of the
nation was in peril and the continent
shook beneath the tread of a million
armed citizens. Mindful of the service
our countrymen rendered and grateful
that their work has endured, the people
of a redeemed republic turn to-day
from the thoughts that ordinarily en-
gross them to pay tribute to the mem
Dry of patriotic service, in the gentle
ministry of fragrant flowers.
The occasion is not a celebration in
the ordinary significance of that word.
IL is a day of RENE mbrance, its motive
is gratitude, its mission is ~fraternal,
its inspiration is love. Gray veterans
will scatter flowers to-day on the graves
of their fallen comrades, but this tender
service will not rekindle the dead en-
beers of sectional hate. Younger men
and women will witness the ceremony,
but the spectacle will not awaken any
other sentiment than that of for
~giveness. In the presence of this me-
mortal the voice of resentment is
hushed.
The services of Memorial day should
quicken the patriotic impulse i'm the
heart of every loyal American; it
should serve TO fix our thoughts on the
inestimable blessings that became our
heritage through the unsellish endeavor
of the men to whose memory the day
is devoted. Their deeds will be held in
grateful remembrance as long as hui
manity loves liberty, as long as valor
has its votaries, as long as the senti-
ment Of gratitude abides in the human
heart.
