JUDGING from the present temper
ot the Republican party, says the New
" oTk Star, there would no. seem 10 be
the slightest chance that President
Harrison would ever be renominated.
He is not popular with the leaders, the
rank and iie have always been indiffsr-
ent TO him, and oY the nation he is now
regarded as a statesman little bigger
than Wauamaker but OF less calibre
tnsn Hayes.
But IL Genera! Harrison has lost
strength rapidly time has net dealt
gently with the candidates who were
opposed 10 him in the Republican Cor
Yention. Governor Foraker, who, if
be had carried Ohio for a third time,
would have been very dangerous man
| IN 1892. has been buried forever by his
own triekeIy and Murat Halstead q
stupidity, Senator Sherman Can hard
/ Iy hope 10 eyer have good fighting
chance again but hs is strong enough,
and has tne wish TO kin Alger's
chances. NJ, jor Mckinley is a
busted" phenomenon, ana Gresham
has sunk into innOouous desuetude
Senator Allison is engaged in desper-
ate fgh. now to retain his present seat
and by the time he is through with that
there will not be much Presidential
timber in Iowa.
OF ali the candidates who were seri-
ously considered at ClicagO, Sscretsr!
b aiue is the only one whose presJig,
has not been seriously impaired since
that time. OF course, Mr.. DspsE
stands better TO day with the natioI
than he ever did, but he was never Sc
Iiously considered at Chicago after tht
strength of the opposition to his nomIn
alton in the Granger States was under

chance for Wanamaker or Quay il

committee has asked everybody 10 ap-

Perhaps everybody has not accepted tbs
Invitation. but the committee has not
Yet gone TO sleep for lack of some one 10
talk 10 II on tariff.
Naturally those who are interested in
The maintenance of the existing high
tariff rates have SO far done most OF the
talking. Their large profits depend
upon high tariff, and they can we'll
afford the time and money q trip to

upon whom high tariff rates press with

For these reasons the hearings now

Our Duty TO the BrazilIans.

The dispatches in the nature of semi
official bulletins from The Brazilian
Minister Of Finance 10 the r. -pTesenta~
tive of that Government al Washington
continue TO be very interesting. As
work of the literary bureau" of the
Tew Republic they are highly redita-
bic, and there is no reason to doubt
their accuracy. They serve TO counter
balance the reckless inventions of spec-
ulatiye cliques, and they supply 10 the
friends of popular government material
with which TO meet The intrigues of
monarchis,s who are laboring Tor the
destruction OF The infant r public.
Senator Eus is Of louisiana. who is
a member OF the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, has expressed the
Democratic view of the situation sue
cIntiy, with c'eaIness aud ability. He
declares that the proper thing fol this
Govern nment to have done was 10 have
promptly recognized the new Republic
in the most hearty and unmistak able
terms, as Was dore through Minister
WashbuTne when the Republic was pro-
Claimed in France. II, hs says, We wait
until after the election OF the Constitu-
ent Assembly, We will present the sorry
spec acle OF trofting along in the train
sis, the Sultan of Turkey and all the
despO's Of the world, who will then be
compelled 10 recognize the BrsZllian
Republic as A matter of course, if, IN
deed, the new born Ieplblicanism of the
great South American country should
SO long survive the blightIng affect OF
passive but deadly hos lility.
There Is bus one Rocest and patriotic
course for the Harrison Administration
u p1Tsue. 1t IS far better TO openly
cOnfess grave error and TO set 10 work
10 remedy IL than 10 peTsevere in the
course Inconsistent with our Own inter-
ests aud institutions.
The President should without sny
further delay recognize the Republic
OF Brazil IN so formal, emphatic and
cordial manner as To repair In so far
as is possible the grave injustice our
policy has already inflicted, and 10
serve notice upon the governments OF
the world that the Republic of tie Uni
ted States Of North America stands
firmly by the Republic of the United
States OF Brazil.-N. y. Star.

Mr.. HARRIsoN's administration, says
the Albany argus, has so tar exhibited
policy OF unTestrained extravaganza,
and with the new schemes that bid fair
to pass both Houses of Congress Vt may
be sate,y stated that the record for Fed
eral expenditures will he beaten. In
this respect, as we'll as Others, the cOu-
trast between Republican rule aud the
last Democratic Administration will be
most striking. The protection promised
so glIbly 70 the people year ago is al
ready assuming the shape of squeezing
more numerically and robbi0g them
for the benefit Of lobbyists in addition
to bleeding them TO still further enrich
monopOIies and favored manufacturers.

THE influenza alias ia grippe or
the grip, a disease that has been ravag-
ing Europe, has made its appearance in
this country and a great many people
In New York, Brooklyn, Boston and
other cities have been attacked with il.
The disease resembles somewhat the
we'll known epiz)Oiic that has at times
been quite prevalent among the horses
all over the country. The symtems are
much the same as of bad cold, much

compartments. y writer in the PhiIa-

AN Amendment to the eensu

AN Amendment to the census law,
says the PittsbuTg Post, has been pro-
posed in Congress providing for the
collection OF statistics showing the
amount of mortgage Indebtedness Cd
the farms and the homes of the
couItry. The Amendment ought to
pass, but the Indianapolis Sentinel
thinks that it will be defeated, for the
reason, as it says, that ''the Republican
party does not want the country 10
know how rapidly the mortgages have
bsen multiplying upon American farms
and homes under The influence Of the
AZ per cant monopoly tariff.
The buperinteLd dent of the census Op-
poses This investigation, for the alleged
reason it is an inquiry into the private
business relations OF the people. So are
many Of the census questions. II is not
the isolated fact that is desirable, but
the condition OF the people in bulk, so
thai there may be a study OF causes and
the cure. But 20 get this the inquiry
must include every body. At any rate
mortgages are matter Of record.

The Taxes on Drink and Smoke.

AS might well have been anticipated,
the scheme To repeal or reduce the to-
bacco and whiskey taxes is meeting
with stern reslSi aSce among the people,
without regard TO party. In BurliLg-
ton, Iowa, a petition is in circulation,
especially among Republicans, request
ing that Representative Gear use his
influence IL Congress 10 reduce tariff
taxes on neesssarIes of living and raw
materials rather than to remove the in
ternal taxes from tobacco and wbiskey.
Tne Burlington Hd1Ckeye republican,
has declared emphAllCaIiy IN favor OF
the principle embodied in this petition.
Joining Ia the chorus, the Free -uethO-
dist. OF Chicago, sign fic nry notifies
tue President and the Republican paI-
" that tLey aie ION The wrong track

enlightened, conscientious people by
cheapeuing tobacco and Whiskey in or
der TO maintain high prices Tor sugar
and WOODEN clothing. tOI shoes and hats,
Ior printing paper and types and other
neceSsaIies.'
While The scheme OF repealipg the
taxes on tobacco is still adhered TO. the
repeal of the taxes on whiskey has been
we'll nigh abandoned nuder the whole
some dread of public opinion. l. is
proposed TO undermine the internal
revenue system Oy removing the inter
nal tax upon fruit brandy and on alco-
hol used for manufacl uriDg purposes.
There is strong argument in favor of
releasing 2 alcohol for such uses from tax,
if this could be accomplished without
serious injury TO the revenues. But
the inevitable effect of such a policy
would be Id introduce decentralization
and fraud into the internal revenue sys-
lem and render the system itself not
worth preserving.
On the other hand, the repeal of the
taxes on tobacco has not respectable
argument 10 support 1t. The tax eff
fects none but the consumers of tObac-
co, and they are making no complaint
of lis light burdens. The only effect OF
Iepe ling the tax would be 20 deprive
the Government of $50 600. 600 of fiscal
revenues in order 20 maintain oppres-
sive tariff taxes on raw materials and
