by Congress,

NEW YORK, March 1s-The Tribune
publishes review of President Harrison's
administration, and gives an interview
with the president by T. c. Crawford, in
which Gen. Harrison spoke of the work of
the Flfty-first congress as of the most i'm
portant character. 1t had maintained the
principle of majority rule both in con-
gress itself and as expressed in the cleo
tions bill, which dealt with what must in
the near future become a dominant issue.
II the public conscience is not dead The
president also expressed much pleasure at
the passage of the shipping bill, extending
commercial relations. The new navy. the
president said, puts the nation on re-
spectacle footing, and is the best guaran-
tee against the possibility of any war.
The Tariff and Finances
The tariff Issue was settled until the Nc
Kinley bill should have had fair trial
Thus far it had proved beneficial The
president does not think we need
any more financial legislation for
the present. He said: II have favored
silver coinage up to n point where L
thought it could be safely used. 1t is not
always easy to determine exactly the dan
ger point. 1t is best, however to be con-
sentative, and think we have gone about
as far for the present in the direction of
free coinage of silver as can be done for
the best interests of silver To go further
might result in depreciating it. A de-
preciated dollars first mission is to 90
out and cheat some workman in the pay
ment of his days wages. 1t is the poor
man vino feels first the i'll effects of a
cheapened currency"
Future of the Party.
President Harrison also said that he
was engaged in considering further sub.
jects of treaty under the reciprocity
policy, which he was confident would re-
suit in great good As TO the future of the
Republican party, he believed there was
already strong reaction in favor of the
party, and that it would show in future
that it still merited the confidence of the
country.

the days of her smallness, every
citizens should make the public
good his private enterprise. What
we want is q people ready to play
a winning game by doing fine
team work. With the coming of
the time when the community will
greet with pleasure the suggestion
OF any individual for an industrial
or commercial undertaking and
join him with hearty accord in the
effort to push it to success. then
will begin the days of our city's
expansion. With its twenty-five
hundred people, the town is too
absurdly small for factions to have
a respectable existence. With an
increase of twenty thousand in pop
u%lation, discordant elements and
conflicting interests, turning upon
nationality, sect and politics will
creep in and there will be a posi-
bility of contests not pusillanimous
and contemplate in character.

But tho duel places the wronged
and the wrong doer upon precisely
the same footing. The chances
that injustice will triumph are
equal to those that right will be
indicated. AS q method of met.
ing out justice therefore, the duel
is a failure and the objections to ii
as an institution arc insuperable.
1t is reasonable to suppose that
in one out Of every two eases the
innocent party will suffer.
If abusive language will excuse
the occurrence Of a duel it must
also excuse a resulting homicide
and the executioner acting under
the provisions of the code. Would
it not be a strange paradox If the
law OF the land by recognizing the
value of the duel as a lettering in.
luence should admit the criminalty
which a verbal insult might con-
tain and yet provide no adequate
form of punishment for it?
IT under any conditions it could
be right for a man to suffer death
for wrongful speech Mt the hands
of q private individual, would it not
be equally right for him to suffer
death at the hands of the duly con-
stituted legal authority? From this
we conclude that our criminal
codes ought to provide for the pre-.
vention and punishment of Sian.
derOus expressions. The remedies
of the civil courts are, except in
rare instances, insufficient, and
something should be done to maxi
the punishment fit the crime.
Common scolds of the masculine
gender should be subjected to
something severer than the duck
