IS THE FORCE BILL DEAD j.

A vote on the silver bill is to be taken
by the senate tomorrow. As the demo
Gratis in that body are united, the ten or
twelve silver republicans will give Thorn
votes enough to insert q free coinage
provision in the measure. The bill will
then go to the house where Carter's
friend Reed will strangle it again.
What will happen in the senate after
the financial bill is out Of the way is a
matter Of speculation. Will the radi-
icals again try to push the force bill to
the front? That seems improbable.
Senator German, who leads the fight
against it, and who sought at the outset
to keep the force bill back by protract-
ing the discussion of the silver question,
suddenly changed front last week. The
usually accurate and observing CORE
spondent of the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat thus describes the significant events
Of Thursdays session:
mi. German, the democratic leader,
suddenly left his seat and walked over
to the republican side. He conversed
for perhaps five minutes with Senators
Teller, Paddock and ingalls,. Then he
returned to his seat. A few minutes
later Mr.. ingalls, arose and said that he
would like to offer a suggestion. He
proposed that the debate end, and that
voting begin next Wednesday. This
proposition extended the time for con-
sideration just two days longer than Nj.
Stewart had suggested. Strange to tell,
Mr.. German got up as soon as Mr.. In
gals sat down, and said this proposition
wal %eminentiy satisfactory. Then in a
jiffy the senate, without a dissenting vote.
decided that the vote shall be taken on
Wednesday. So the corner was turned
with %neatness and dispatch. 1t is, OF
course, understood that Mr.. German re-
ceived from Senators ingalls,, Paddock
and Teller a promise that the force bill
shall not be taken up when the financial
bill is disposed of. TIE fact is that ON
the day after the financial bill is dis
posed Of MI. Paddock will ask for con
sideration Of his pure food bill. Mr..
Hale will insist upon the speedy consid-
eraiion of the apportionment bill and
Mr.. Platt will endeavor to get mp the
copyright BILL"
This looks very much like an arrange
ment to kill Hoar's pet measure. If the
bills above mentioned are taken up their
discussion will consume SO much time
that nc opportunity will be afforded for
q revival of the Hoar bill at any stage
Of the session. Work on the appropri-
ton bills is far behind. If considera-
ton OF these necessary measures we're
entered upon at once the senate would
have 70 pass two each week to complete
the work of the session. An average Of
three days to a bill is wholly inadequate
for their full and careful discussion, but
thanks to Mr.. Hoar, they will have less
than that. 1t looks as though the force
bill we're indeed shut out.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat sounds
this warning to the republican leaders
at Washington:
'1t is of the first Importance that no
more risks be taken and no more expert
ments tried on the theory that the repub-
lican masses will stick to the party in any
event. We have. had fair warning that
their votes cannot be counted upon in that
confident and complacent manner. They
desire certain things which must be granted
or they will do as they did last November.
The time has come. in their judgment, for
them to insist upon temperate and concil-
iatory measures, instead of arbitrary and
obnoxious ones. 1t will not do to charge
them with dishonesty or Inconsistency and
to crack the party whip over them in con-
tempt of their opinions and their protests.
Their votes are indispensable. The party
has nothing to spare in that respect. 1t
has before it the hardest fight of its life,
and will need all the strength that 1T can
possibly secure. By a curious series of mis-
takes it has been placed in 4 defensive at
titude, and some of its leaders seem de-
ternined to keep it there, instead of trying
to extricate it from that unfortunate posi-
ton and to give it a new impulse in the
right direction. It's victories heretofore
have always been won by aggressive pro-
ceedlngs, and in that way only can it hope
to repeat them. The chief danger that
threatens its supremacy is not an increas-
ing sentiment in favor of democratic doc
trines and traditions so much ms a growing
distrust of its own methods and tendencies.
This danger can be removed by Judicious
and considerate treatment of the dissatis-
fed element, and the statesmen in Wash
ington should govern themselves accord
luuiy.S

Horticulture at Worlds Fair.

Mr.. John Thorpe. the newly appointed
chief Of the Horticulture branch of the
Department of Horticulture, writes as
follows, concerning the requirements OF
the floral display at the Exposition:
An effort may be made to change the
location OF the Horticultural building at
the Worlds Columbian Exposition to a
place where the building, or at least the
central portion, may remain as perma
nent conservatory after the close of the
great Exposition. The large island in the
lagoon has been suggested as an excel
lent permanent site, and the building
could be placed there without necessarily
destroying all the trees. The main
part Of the building could be erected as
permanency and the wings and annexes
so built that they could he readily re
out in any way injuring the architectural
effect Of the main part.
IL is believed that if the Horticultural
building is to be made permanency'
many contributions of immense specimen
plants can be secured that would other
wise be withheld, as the owners
while willing to send such specimens
to form part Of permanent
national collection, would be loath
to run the risk of their total loss
simply for few months display. And
to such an exhibition would be con
tributed many large specimens that have
outgrown the limits Of the conserva-
tories which they at present occupy. In
addition to these there will be brought
from their habitats specimens of tree
ferns, palms. crotOns and similar decor
alive plants of larger size than any ever
seen here before giants such as have
never before been in cultivation, and
such as no existing conservatory would
be large enough to house. All thes.
will be gathered together In the great
Horticultural building at the fair, and it
is of vast Importance to horticulture
that such a magnificent collection should
be made permanent.
Many Of the plants that would be con
tributed to such collection from public
and private conservatories are now his
torical, and if gathered together in
permanent collection would be stand
ing national monument of lasting inter-
est and value.
This is a splendid opportunity for the
formation of the grandest collection of
decorative plants, the finest collection OF
economic plants, and the most complete
assembly of unique specimens in the
world, and it should not be permitted to
pass unimproved
We trust that the powers that be will
weigh the matter carefully, and il the
site already assigned the Horticultural
building is not eligible for permanent
conservatory, that such change be at
once made as to permit the execution of
the plan above outlined.

The Boot and Shoe Trades Journal,
the organ Of the English boot and shoe
manufacturers. says that they are con-
sidersbly agitated over the invasion of
their territory by American competitors.
It comedies that the tariff has done 4
good deal for the Americans, but it ex-
presses the opinion that owing to lower
wages, and "hy ever striving to reduce
the cost OF supply the English manu-
facturers will then have no difficulty in
holding their own" The Journal says
that competition among American
manufacturers IL far more keen than
amongst English manufacturers" This
Is a very good answer to the false asser-
tons Of the Democratic free traders that
the tariff fosters monopclies. The
Journal adds
We cannot, nor can anyone, definitely
say until the matter is brought to prac-
teal test, whether or not there is a
chance of American manufacturers com
peting iu English markets. As to the
probability Of an attempt being made to
get here there Is no question. But one
cannot avoid the observation that IL
American manufacturers. with their
heavy tariffs. which mean higher wages,
more costly materials-the latter, how
ever, but slightly affected iuasmuch "a
the bulk Of the materials used
are produced within their own
domain. and their wasteful consump-
ton OF materials and other disadvan
tsges--if. we say. they can. under such
circumstances, beat Englishmen on their
own ground, 1t will show that there is
something both seriously and radically
wrong with our methods of supply.
Here labor is cheaper than In Amer ca,
materials are used far more carefully,
and no vestige of imported materials
used In the trade bears any tax
whatever. But, as we have said, the
success Of such 4 venture can only be
proved by practical test.
Commenting on this article iu the
English Journal the Philadelphis Press
saws: There is marked difference In
the tone Of this article In the organ of the
English boot and shoe manufacturers
from that of articles on the same suhiec,
In the free trade organs in America
Tue English manufacturers express a
wholesome fear OF American eempeti
ton In Eugland. notwithstanding
their advantages Of cheaper labor, more
careful use Of material. and freedom
FROM any tax whatever on their
imported materials. They assert
that competition among manufacturers
Il much greater in protected Americs
than in free trade England. and. as re
cult, prices 'may be lower" Why:
The Journal gives the answer in the
s'atenent that this competition has led
Americans to adopt "very perfect sys
TEN Of manufacture and an intelliscn.
use Of machinery" and it regrets thai
