THE WORST Of the pillagng tariff bill now
before Congress is, that once passed, as 1t
will be, the period of its plunderlng will be
indefinite, for, no matter how great the
democratic maiorities may be at future Pres
idential and Congressional elections, the re-
publican majority In the Senate is go large,
owing to the indscretion of the democrats
in the last Congress In admitting four new
republican States into the Union. that years
will have to elapse before, in the natural or
der of events, 1t will be possible to overcome
1t, and as long es it may last, just 80 long
will any reduction in the tariff be impossi
BILE, for no change can be made without the
concurrence of the Senate, and the Senate
would cease to be republican if 1t should fail
to support high tariff.

MONDAY EVENING, MAY -.

THERE ARE three republicans in Congress
from Virginia and three from North Caro-
lima. All six promised the negroes, by
whose votes they hold their seats, that their
party would remove the tobacco tax. The
tariff bill now before Congress does not re-
move that tax, but the six republican coz
gressmen referred to will vote for 1t all the
same, and so will the other twelve southern
republican congressman. The eighteen
could secure the removal of the tobacco tax
and any other legislation they might DESIRE
If they were 30 disposed, but they are not.
They vote to assist the rich monopollsts OF
the North, not the poor farmers OF their
own section, and are paid for doing SO with
q few minor and insignificant offices In the
departments In Washington and in their re-
spective districts.

TIE FACT that petitions are coming to
Congress from many sections of the North
and West, signed by members of the Farm
ers' Alliance. for the passage of the Lodge
bill to put elections in the South under the
control of federal officials, shows to what
purposes the republicans of the sections re
ferred to are prostituting the Alliance, and
should be sufficient to put the southern
members of that organization on guard
against the northern members, whom they
enormously suppose to be their friends.

POSTMASTER General Wanamaker is get
tiug holder by reason of the expressed conf
dence of the republican leaders in Congress
In the certainty of the passage of an election
law by which the republican control Of the
government may be perpstuated. He now
not only acknowledges that he has sent spe-
oisl postofice inspectors to examine into the
qualifications of republican applicants for
postofices, without authority of law. but
that he has removed postmasters for no
other reason than the fact that they are
democrats, which Is certainly contrary to
the spirit of the civil service law. But Mr..
Hsrrison's Cabinet ministers are men after
Mr.. Harrison's own heart.
