BLAINE AT WORK.

Secretary Blaine is accomplishing a DTo-
digious amount Of work. Besides the Behr-
inG Sea controversy and the review Of Min
iSter Miners actions in Central America, he
has seven reciprocal treaties in hand The
reciprocity understanding with Brazil is said
10 be mere compliance on the part of Brazil
with certain condii ions provided in the Ne
X iuley tariff, and As such not requiring con-
G.mation by the Senate. But treaties in
hand with other South American Govern
mentS VIII be-, it is said, agreements requir-
ing action by the Senate. This extraofdi-
nary exercise of the treaty-making power
raises the question if all measures affecting
. the revenue do not require the assent Of
both Houses Of Congress. 1t is the duty of
Congress to provide revenue for the Govern
ment, but now can this duty be intelligently
performed if the executive branch of the
Government may, without the assent of the
two Houses, modify tariff rates so as to
diminish the estimated revenue. This coun-
Try viii follow Mr. Blaine farther in the
reciprocity experiments than il would follow
any other statesman of either party. He
has established his reputation as friend
Of American industry. There is no better
American" IN the distinctive sense of the
tenn than Mr.. Blaine. He is not, like Mr..
Cleveland, victim of the mdrkets-of-the-
world dslusiun. He knows the value of the
American market and is not inclined to give
It away. Whatever agreement he may come
20 with Sur Southern neighbors will, in his
ornion, be in the interest of American labor.
But whether the policy he has marked out
IS wise or otherwise is quite another ques-
zion. 1t is given to the country long enough
before the Presidential election to be ex-
amined in ali its bearings. Objections will Ger
taiuly be urged against it, but it is only when
the details Of the agreements have been pub
lishcd that the public can determine how
far MI Bla.ne's admitted astuteness has
cnmprrhended and overcome the difficulties
the case presents. The fact that seems to
be established is that Mr.. Blaine is in the
full exercise Of his mental and physical
power He has apparently outlived or out
:sogked the illness that Slapped his strength
and dimmed his ambition the year before the
last Republican National Convention met.

AGAINST THE TARIFF.

III Mr.. William Astor remains In the
United States until the next Presidential
election he viii probably vote for the free
trade candidate for the Presidency. Mr.
William Aston and the Mckinley tariff
have collded. and the Astor family got the
worst of the encounter. Ii seems that Mrs
William Astor ordered three silk dresses
from Paris, which were valued by the
French makers at 1000 francs. Mrs. Astor
condescendingiy consented to pay the Nc
Kinley tariff rates on that amount, but when
the goods r. ached the Appraiser lie prompt
~ doubled the valuation. An appeal was
taken To the General Appraiser, who meanly
addea 1000 francs to the deputy's valuation.
MI. William Astor was thus required to pay
duties on 36C0 francs in place of 1000. Mrs
Astor is said 10 have been greatly excited
over the rapid Increase in the cost OF her
Paris dresses. Under ordinary conditions
She conirives TO limit her expenditures to
her income. but the effect of having to pay
duties on 2G00 extra francs cannot be esti-
mated. The unfortunate lady may be

PLEDGES sHouLp BE KEPT.

THE CALLS Sacramento correspondent
says Speaker Coombs Will use his influence
to keep the 20 cent pledge in the Republi-
can platf. IN. The Speaker is also report ed
as ~ quite understanding how response
bi3ty for breaking the pledge may be
avoided 10y the fiction that any particular
appropriation is extraordinary" to the de-
gree that removes it from the column of
Items that makes up what Mantilini would
call The total" If one appropriation NAV
lie set aside as extraordinary" why NAV
not all the items be SO regarded which swell
the amount beyond the limit ? II is quite
probable that the Democratic members will
assist pledge-breaking Republicans to dlsre-
gard the platform. They will claim to do
so without jncurring political responsibility.
The Republican party stoutly declared that
it was not responsible for the votes of the
Republican minority in the last Legislature
A good many Republicans voted for all the
eXtravagant bills of that Legislature, but
the Republican party held that the Demo-
cratic majority should bear the blame. In
the present Legislature the Republicans
have a majority so large that the RESPONSE
bility for bad legislation must be thrown
upon the Republican party. In case pledges
are broken there will not be much said
about it until tie next campaign is inau-
gurated. Then chorus Of complaints will
30 up from the Democratic papers. They
will quote the pledge and its breaking as
proof that the Republican party cannot be
trusted. Speaker Coombs is right in the
position he has assumed. The pledges given
should be kept, except in the somewhat i'm
probable event of a hostile feet appearing
outside the Golden Gate, or some kindred
danger. What the people exuect is that the
Republican party will keep It's pledges

q" HANDS Upr

The CALL is pleased to record an in-
stance in which the Hands up" order was
not complied with. The spectacle of four
or five men standing moticnless with hands
in the air while a footpad robs a till and
perhaps the amiable gentlemen themselves,
has become somewhat monotonous. So at
least thought William Ring, one Of the pro-
prietors Of grocery on Nineteenth street,
who was requested ON Saturday night to
stand still while the robbing of his place
was being ffected. At some risk of being
shot, Mr.. Ring grappled with the would be
robber and soon placed him hors-de-combat
The present indications are that The robber
Will not recover. Mr.. Ring has done the public
a service. An example of pluck was much
needed. Robbing pedestrians has been at
tended with so little danger that the bust
ness commended itself to men of easy
morals, who know no other way to get at
the public crib. The chances are that the
next belaied pedestrian who is attacked will
be prepared and will send bullet through
the head of the attacking party. Two or
three examples of this nature would put an
end 10 the " Hands up" business.

THE LAND-LoAN SCHEME.

Details of the Farmers Alliance COnven-
ton recently held at Omaha throw some
light upon the methods by bich the Ali
ances were placed ON the record as indoors
ing the land-loan scheme. The resolution
was debated several Gays, and on the day
before adjournment was defeated by de-
cisive majority On the list day, when
many Of tie members had gone away, the
vote was reconsideTed and the resolution
adopted. The resolution of Endorsement
could hardly have been adopted by a major
Ity vote Of the v hole convention. This Will
be plain, when the resolution is carefully
read. 1t is as follows;
That we,- The landowners OF the country,
pledge ourselves 10 demand equal rights with
bankers and others WHO borrow money from the
United STATES; We demand loans 10 Individuals
upon real estate seeurily-Iliat is, an equitable
sum Of money at a rate OF interest not exceed
Ing per cent per aDnun, In sums not exceed
ing $4,000 to auy one Northumberland that the
| amount loaned be appOrtioUed among States
| counties aud townships, according 10 popula-
! ton.
The Farmers Alliance would not If
fairly represented, 20 before the country as
res ponSible Tor the statement that bankers
and others borrow money from the United
States. The Government sometimes makes

ject 10 withdrawal at the pleasure of the
Government The action Of the Govern
ment in making these deposits cannot be
urged rs a precedent for loan to owners of
land. But if we admit the power of the
Government to make leans, the question
will arise as TO the means by which the
money to make loans with is obtained.
aking year through, the Government has
no considerable surplus. 1t has payments
10 make from time to time, and, between
limes. may have an available surplus. At
stated periods it has interest on the public
deDt TO pay, and is at all times accommodating
money for this and other purposes. But its
revenues are only intended to equal its ex-
| pendiiures. Ii, therefore, money is 10 be

sources epen-one to obtain money by extra

are gold certificates and silver certificates,
