It is expected that the proposed tariff
bill will be taken up in the house the
latter part of this week 1t will
be passed by that body nearly as il
is, but the probabilities are that it will
be amended on reaching the senate. II
such is the case, the changes should be
made in accordance with the popular
feeling for reduction, consistent with
the idea of protection.

Senator Hoar's introduction of a fed.
eral election bill at the request of the
senate committee on elections, has had q
depressing effect upon the southern
democrats in Congress. They have be.
lieved that the republicans up to this
time were only trying to bluff them
when they talked about passing feder-
al election bill, but they recognize now !,
that this bill, approved Of by senatorial
caucus of republicans, means business.
They are rapidly being made to under
stand too, that they are in the wrong
and must submit to being righted.

The Republican party must, and we
believe that it will, remain firm on the
important features of the Bennett law.
If in consequence of it's stand, defeat is
threatened, it should not allow that to
be the cause for fright or alarm. The
party should remember that on such
an issue, it is planted on the very best
of platforms and on principles, that be.

The Pioneer Press has nothing to gain
from its conduct towsrds Col. Kiefer in
the municipal campaign y, and much to
lose. Among Republicans it will no
longer be considered friend, and
among democrats it will be scoffed ut

both.

May 1st was the day set by the labor
organizations of this and other countries
for general movement toward the inn
provement of their condition. Contrary
to expectation and prediction, few
scenes of violence and little rowdY dis
turbance characterized their demon
strations. Instead of acting as mad
dened mob, not knowing what they
wanted, they made their demands in
peaceful and thoughtful manner, ask
ing only for what every thinking and
reasonable man would be willing to al
low. Eight hours labor was their re-
quest, and in many cases it was granted.
It will be more so, as the effort to
secure the desired end proceeds. The
labor organizations are growing in
numbers, and as they gather to them
selves in strength, they gain ground
upon the employers and capitalists.
The latter must sooner or later submit
or there will be trouble. Thus far the
demonstrations, like that of Thursday,
have been quiet, but the labor orders
will readily adapt themselves to strong,
er demands and more effective means il
necessary.

thoroughly agitated, il is well to con.

liquor into state in original packages
cannot be prohibited, will be the means
of giving prohibition set back that
