The Russian Government ia ruthlessfy

e~Vlctlng the whole Jewish race. In South.

Odessa, and at Moscow-the Jews are being
expelled by hundreds II day. Four thou

and these will be but an advance guard TO
l5,O0O OF their Co religiOniSts who are to fol.

the daily output of JeWS averages from 100
to 100. The question will naturally lie ask

are some signs Ofan intention 10 crowd them
into the old Polish provinces, and to make
this part of the Empire a colossal Jewry.
However this may he, many Of them never
get.so tar as Russian Poland. They are forced
on the Anstrians in Galicia, but there many
ofthem are driven back because they arrive
with nothing in their pockets. They are, in
fact, pauper immigrants, aud the Austrians
are naturally unwilling to receive BANDS of
destitute refugees who must ultimately be-
come a public charge.

state Taxing Power.

Two decisions rendered last week by.
the Supreme Court of the United States,
are Of great interest, because they bear
upon the question of the relation Of in,
terstate commerce to the taxing power of
State. One Of these was on the case Of
Massachusetts, against the Western Un--
ion Telegraph Company for non-payment
of arrears Of taxes. Massachusetts had
levied upon the lines of the company
within the State, assessing them at
valuation bearing the same proportion to
the whole amount of stock Of the West
ern Union that their mileage bears to
the whole extent of its telegraph lines.
The company refused to pay on two
grounds mainly: first, that the Massa-
chusetts assessment was inequitable, in
asmuch as it ignored the fact that the
total value of Western Union property
included certain exceedingly valuable
real estate in New York city and else
where; and, second, that it possessed q
Federal franchise under which it was do
ing an interstate business. The Supreme
Court decided in favor Of the State. The
second case was in a great measure an
alagous to the other. Pennsylvania un-
dertook to levy taxes upon the cars OF
the Pullman company running over the
roads of the State, the valuation being
obtained by computation similar to
that adopted by the Massachusetts, Of
ficials in estimating the value of the tel
egraph lines. The company's defense
was that its property could only be taxed
in Illinois, where it is Incorporated and
where its works are and that to, tax its
cars running through other States is to
tax interstate commerce which it claimed
to be unconstitutional. The court, on the
contrary, held that there is nothing in
the Constitution and laws Of the United
States to prevent State from taxing
cars or other personal property in regu-
lar use within its borders The doctrine
would seem to be that where no discrim-
ination is made against interstate COM
merce, and no distinction in the levy of
taxes between the property employed by
that commerce within State and other
similar personal property within the
same oUtuc, buoa Oho AobuVos IL poAihS cAoS
property, trespasses on no Federal right
whatever. At first sight sight this doc
trine appears inconsistent with the IA
nous original package decision, but it
will probably be found that these de-
cisions will hereafter be regarded as sim
ply different phases Of one principle.
The original package decision had refer
ence to articles of interstate commerce

not yet merged into the volume of IT.

The unprecedented popular success of
the tariff law has evidently dampened
the ardor of the great tariff reformer In
q speech that occupied nearly half an
hour in delivery we find only distant al
lusions to the industrial system that in
the opinion of Mr.. Cleveland, no more
than few months ago, was responsible
for all the ails and ills of humanity.
Compelled to drop the tariff in obedience
to popular approval of the Mckinley
law, Mr.. Cleveland last night resorted to
promiscuous abuse Of what he termed
public extravaganza. He seems to have
suddenly discovered that the people are
faring badly because Of the extravaganza
of the last Congress. After heaping q
great deal Of abuse upon the party which
he charges with the responsibility of this
needless and needless expenditure OF
public moneys, he calls for vigorous
Campaign OF education" for the benefit
OF "the masses, who are not dishonest,
but only Needless" But better than all
this general abuse, would have been spe-

land. If the Republican party has been
extravagant, he ought to have stated
wherein this extravaganza existed He
did cite the increase in pensions, but for
pension expenditures the Democratic
party is wholly responsible, for had it not
been for that party there would have
been no war and no old soldiers to be
supported by the Government. Mr..
Cleveland's references to other extrava-
gances, river and harbor and shipping
expenditures, were 30 indefinite that one
is led to believe that even in the opinion
of the ex-president these appropriations
are really justifiable. Afraid to combat
popular approval of the tariff law, Mr..
Cleveland last night resorted to the dem
agogue's cry Of the billion Congress, for
want of anything else to carp about

Tho Peoples Party.

The point of chief interest with re-
spect to the new party organized at Gin
cinnati lies in the incongruous character
of the various elements which it repre-
sents. 1t is apparently intended to af-
ford medium for the advocacy of all
sorts Of extravagant and fantastic no.
tions, without regard to their consisten-
cy. Men can join it with the assurance
that they are permitted to ride any hob
by that they please so long as they con-
cede the same privilege to others. 1t is
to be party of the people in the sense
that it proposes a aco-operative movement
of all the cranks in the country, with the
understanding that they shall divide the
spoils in the case Of victory. There has
to every form of eccentricity and absur-
dity, and 80 willing to put things in its
platform regardless of fitness or cohe-
renee. The different pledges and de-
mands contradict one another in a most
curious and bewildering way. It is not
likely that the members of the Conven-
tion were agreed upon any one theory or
doctrine. Each group of delegates got
its pet idea recognized, and that was sat
isfactory. In other words, harmony was
was secured by permitting platform to
be 80 constructed as to suit all shades of
opinion in serial order, and in utter con-
tempt of all the rules Of logic and pro-
priety.
1t is difficult to treat such a prepos-
terous affair in a serious manner. There
is nothing in it that appeals to the judg
ment or the conscience of the people, and
the intelligent voter will easily detect
its many weaknesses and hypocrisies.
A party organized in such hap hazard
fashion must necessarily be short-lived.
1t does not stand for any definite and
important principle or set of principles.
The classes composing it are not animat-
ed by desire to promote the general
welfare and happiness, but by wish to
gain special advantages for themselves.
Such course is contrary to the spirit of
our institutions and in violation Of the
fundamental laws Of justice, fairness and
equality. Parties have never been
known to thrive by pursuing q policy of
that kind. The American people do not
favor determinations for tho benefit of
particular classes at the expense or other
classes. We have no room in our politics
for party that seeks to shape legislation
in the interest of any particular element
Of the population, and to substitute for a
well-tested and profitable system Of laws
an entirely different and obviously dan
gerous one. The common sense of the
masses stands in the way of the success
of such movement; and it is safe to,
predict that this new organization with
platform to meet the wants Of every
variety of crsnks will never achieve any
of the purposes that it has in view.

There is one kind of "extravagance"
and governmental perversion" which
Mr.. Cleveland failed to touch upon, but
Of which this country has very vivid
appreciation. 1t is method of "perver-
sion" especially characteristic of tho
Democratic party. Democratic Secreta-
ry Of the treasury Cobb illustrated it in
Buchanan's time when he left the Ma
tional treasury bankrupted. Democratic
State Treasurer Churchill illustrated it
again when he stole $4,000 from the Ar
kansas treasury. The 100000 hole Dem
ocratic State Treasurer Polk left in the
Tennessee treasury was a further illus
tration. Democratic State Treasurer
Vincent's amount of Democratic .perver-
sion" was the s343, 900 he stole from the
treasury of Alabama, and the "perver-
sion" of Democratic State Treasurer
Tate, Of Kentucky, amounted to s247, 900;
and 80 on through the whole list, includ-
ing Burke, of Louisiana; Nolan, OF Mis-
souri,; Hemingway, Of Mississippi; Ar
cher, of Maryland; Woodruff, of Arkan-
sstS, duu I1eEDcrt, VI OeleWdle. Indt ib
the way the Democrats distributed" the
surplus over whose disappearance from
the National Treasury Mr.. Cleveland
was derricked all the way from New
York to Buffalo to mourn. If Mr.. Cleve-
land has any proofs Of corrupt use Of the
public money or of stealings from the
National treasury, let him give them,
and the people will listen to him and de-
mand that the guilty person be punished.
But when he reels off string Of his
lumpy, opaque platitudes about "extrav-
gance" with the blistering record of his
own party for malfeasance while in office
written in history, the public hear him
with an ill-concealed sneer of supreme
contempt.-Philadelphia Press.

No public man in America has ever be-
fore been subjected to such a test Of
speech-making as President Harrison has
passed, not only successfully, but with in
finite credit, which has called out univer-
sal applause. He has twice crossed the con-
tinent, and every day has been called up
on, morning, noon and night, for speeches.
There was no opportunity for repetition
without discovery. The telegraph car
ried his words as rapidly as uttered be-
yond his reach for revision. Not only has
he proved equal to the occasion, but at an
early period of his travels it became ev-
ident that he adapted himself without ap-
parent effort to each new set of surround
ings, and that there was no fear that he
would not sustain himself to the end. His
speeches at Omaha and Indianapolis were
as fresh as those at Roanoke and Chatta-
nooga, and their individuality as marked.
He has evaded no great question which
the various localities forced upon him.
Yet, while he made such utterances in re-
gard to them as his clear and strong con-
victions prompted, with tact and deli
cacy quite his own, he so dwelt upon the
subjects as not to offend in any quarter,
even while fully asserting himself. He
spoke freely in the South of the univer-
sal rights of citizenship and of the pro
tective system, and in Utah for the home
with one wife. At every stopping place
he has been ready to address both young
and old, and everywhere he created un-
bounded enthusiasm. At last he stands
revealed to his fellow-citizens in new pro-
portions His trip has not only been Of
great personal consequence to him, but it
has also given the country universal cause
for satisfaction.-Cinci CONNER
