The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
(Rep.) continues to speak of the mis-
takes in the Mckinley tariff bill which
twill have to be corrected"
Chairman Quay's committee meet
ing has been postponed again. 1t looks
little as if he didn't care to face the
music.-New Haven Register.
If the sugar trust does not make
Mr.. Mckinley a handsome present it
will show itself to be most ungrateful
combination Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal.
Speaker Reed is openly pulling
for the Presidency. If Speaker Reed
presides over the National Republican
convention he will nominate himself
Augusta GA Chronicle.
Mr.. Bynum is entirely right in re-
garding a censure ordered by the Re-
publican majority in the present House
of Representatives and administered by
Bully Tom Reed as "a decoration of
honor. '-Indianapolis Sentinel.
General James A. Hall, we'll
known campaigner of Maine, says of
Butterworth's speech: ~ am half in
clined to the opinion that Ben was
about right 1 fear we are as party
carrying this tariff matter too far"
When Professional Politician
Clarkson says that government is
political, not a business, machine," he
means that he has done his best to
make it partisan machine modelled on
the blocks-of-five plan. He has succeed
ed pretty well so tar.-St. Louis Re-
public.
"A Kansas farmer sold large
meteor which fell in his pasture for
81 900 and with the money raised the
mortgage on his farm. Still the Kansas
farmer as a rule is more likely to raise
his mortgage by voting off his taxes
than by waiting for 81, 200 meteors.-
Chicago Herald.
The South Dakota Representa-
tives demand an increased duty on tin
to develop the Black Hill mines. In
view of the fact that these properties
are owned by the English syndicate
| which operates the Cornwall tin mines,
it would be interesting to know how an
| advance in the tin tariff would benefit
| the country at large.-Omaha Bee
(Rep.).
As to President Harrison, we have
it on the authority of Wharton Barker
and Henry C. Lea that he was fully in
formed of Quay's tainted record before
he handed over the naming of Cabinet
officer (Wanamaker) and the control of
Pennsylvania patronage to the corrupt
and dishonest boss. The President
sinned against knowledge, and this fact,
so we'll attested, probably accounts for
his desire to recover lost ground by I'M
loading Quay.-Pittsburgh Post
| Successive attacks from Republ
ans in the House do not prevent the pas
sage there of the Mckinley bill, but
they are significant of the fate in store
for Republican McKinleyism in the
Congressional campaign. The tariff
question has been studied in the last
two years as never before in the history
of the country. An intelligent under
standing of the whole subject-matter
means Reputation of the sophisms OF
the protective tariff.-Chicago Times
1t is beautiful spectacle that is
presented by the party in power just
now. Tariff legislation is dictated by
its ''beneficiaries. as Mr.. Butterworth
pointed out; silver legislation is, SO far
as the matter has gone, in the hands OF
the mine owners, and pension legisla-
ton apparently depends, not on the
rights of the people or even the de-
mands of the veterans, but on manipula
ton by the pension claim agents, Of
whom Dudley and Tanner are the most
conspicuous leaders at the present mo-
ment.-N. Y. Times.
