Little excuse can be found even by the
most ardent partisan for the action of
the Democratic minority yesterday after
noon. When measures are under con-
sideration which have direct or partial
bearing upon the rights or privileges of
either political party partisan action can
at times not only be excused but even
justified.
The question yesterday, however, was
upon the adoption of the new rules, and
upon them there was no marked differ
ence of opinion. Mr. Brown, the leader
Of the opposition, acknowledged that
he favored the most important one Of
them-that relating to the previous
question, and it was evident that none
of his colleagues could present argu-
ments for delaying the consideration.
They knew that the state manual is in
press and that unless the rules We're
adopted without delay, they could not
be printed in the manuel this year.
More than this, the minority were fully
aware of the tacit understanding
that a quorum would not be
purposely broken for the sake of
delaying legislation. Virtual pledges
to that effect had been made. But all
these considerations had little weight
with men whose highest aim is to de-
lay all work by forcing the ruling party
to enact all legislation by means of its
own majority. The minority have by
their action established the fact that
they propose to take no part in passing
bills but only in obstructing them, that
they have no desire to promote the in
terests of the State or to assume any
responsibility for laws enacted, but
that whenever they can not block the
passage of bills by their votes they will
break the quorum if possible.
The level to which Democracy sinks
by such tactics in the eyes Of the av-
erage citizen Is too low to need COM
ment. The spectacle of handful of
men, who are supposed to represent citi-
zens Of the State. standing on the floor
of the House to ask for roll call, and
at once rushing for the lobby when
the clerk begins TO call the roll,
is not one calculated to in
spire the people with confidence
either IN the dignity or ability OF its
minority representatives. If the Demo
Gratis have no higher aim than this they
will serve the State and their constitu-
encies far better by remaining in their
respective homes than by indulging in
practices which in children woula DO

1t looks as II In the near future the
Prohibition bark might strike an ugly
snag. The discussions at Cincinnati have
made it clear that upon one point and
one only is there agreement; as regards
no other issue of the day are Prohibi-
tionists able to formulate policy.
The platform adopted yesterday de-
clares for free trade boldly and un-
equivocally. The majority by which
this plank was adopted in committee
was a very narrow one, and it's
discussion in convention turned
the great hall into bedlam. The
New York, Pennsylvania and other
Eastern delegations threatened a
bolt, and were appeased only by the
addition to the platform of special
plank inviting to party fellowship all
who agree upon "the one dominant
issue" of prohibition. This fiat ac-
acknowledgement that upon the great COM
mercial questions Of the day the mem
bership is hopelessly split, and that to
preserve its organization it must keep
out Of general politics and be one-idea
party will not increase its chances of
success with thinking people.
Upon the silver question the wrangle
was even more bitter. The money plank
of the majority report declaring for free
coinage was rejected, and then the mi
nority plank was rejected also. thus
leaving the platform without any coin
age plank, and owning in despair the
inipossibility of framing one upon
which the many varieties of cranks
present could agree.
The glaring failure Of the convention
to harmonize itself brings smile of
irony to the lip of the reader who peruses
the ingenious promise Of the special
harmony plank that Prohibitionists
" can and will remove sectional differ
ences, pCsmote national unity and in
sure the best welfare of the en-.
tire land" No party can with justice
call itself national" or expect to be re-
ceived with respect by the intelligent
of any community which cannot outline
a general policy upon which it may be
judged as to its attitude towards the
business and financial interests of the
country.
Free trade Prohibitionists belong to
the Democracy; protectionists belong
with the Republicans; temperance Is
matter that should be dealt with with
out partisanship by the two great polit-
ical organizations.

The accident on Broad street yester-
day afternoon was one of the most seri-
Gus that has ever happened in this vicin-
ity, and more serious than any since the
great sewer cave-in only short distance
away about year ago.
The exculpatory words "No one to
blame" cannot be spoken of this case.
1t was strictly a preventable accident.
There is safe angle at which dirt will
lie, differing as the nature Of the soil
differs. Sometimes this angle is greater,
sometimes less, than 45 degrees. Nature
shows us on large scale what the
angle is when lava, dust, ashes and
scoriae are the material. by the volcanic
caves which she has built by the hun-
dred. Railroad cuttings have furnished
contractors with plenty of data to deter
mine what angle is safe and what is
not in human work.
The Broad street contractor was
building an abutment for a bridge. 1t
is in its nature retaining wall, backed
bp by earth. 1t would cost money to
remove the earth behind the wall,
and then put it all back again.
1t would cost money to shovel
it up. So the contractor dug
down in a line altogether too nearly
perpendicular and had got his wall
about half completed before the earth,
loosened by who knows what cause,
came pouring down, assuming at last,
over the dead bodies of four men, the
angle Of safety which had been for
gotten.
Such an accident could only result
from culpable negligence. The excuse
of ignorance is no excuse, even if we can
suppose an experienced contractor to be
ignorant. The excuse of economy is
worse slan none since it proves the con-
contractor to have "taken chances
when it was question of life against
money.

THE Mugwump who fatters himself
that the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland Is
an evidence of the great power of Mug
wumpery must be man who could feel
eminently satisfied with the shadow OF
a thing instead of the substance. Mr..
Cleveland always has posed as Mug
wump, and man to whom parties were

time to act Mr.. Cleveland ceases
to pose and at once engages in such
straight Democratic work that the

ness.' Fortunately the poor Mugwump
is rapidly ceasing to exist. The failure
of his iridescent ideas and utter barren
ness Of his evangelical attempt to con-
vert Democracy have shown him that
there is little call in this country for the
individual who pins faith to the maxim
that whatever is, is wrong.

LrvERpoOL AND CHICAGO.

Liverpool is the second town Of Great
Britain Chicago, city Of larger, freer
growth, and SUMMER skies and aspect

the United States.
Mr.. Lansing, in his very interesting
letter, printed to-day, describes with
wonderful fidelity the smallest of Liver
POOLS three workhouses, q mile in cir
cult, swarIning with impoverished and
hopeless humanity.
Opportunely for the comparison, the
July Scribner's magazine, just published,
contaius an admirable account Of Chi
cago's poor, from the pen of the Rev.
Joseph Kirkland, of the Unity Church
Industrial School. Let us quote few
paragraphs:
An English philauthropist who lately
visited Hull House (the Rev. Mr.. Ben
nett. warden of Toynbee Hall), remarked.
IN taking his leave, that the prevalent
dirt and hagrant vice exceeded anything
in London: but that he had seen scarce

tion to work aud saving gives house and
lot, comfortable and well taught fam
lily and good chance for children and
grand children. A young Scandi-
navian asked where was the poverty that
springs from misfortune rather than
from drink, impulsively answered there
is none. Far more than half the
houses OF Chicago are owned and occu-
pied by laborers, [most OF them members

Oscar Kuehne, general agent of the Ger
man Benevolent Society: / could have

employment TO 800 or 4C0 more men than
did, IL / had had the men to fill the appli-
cations.
In general. one gets the impression
from Mr.. Kirkland's article that an
honest, sober and Industrious man in
Chicago has himself to blame if he
doesn't do well by himself and his fam
lily. Work is plenty and-except in the
sweating shops which are always bad
and among the worst nationalities from
the far East Of Europe-there is no
necessary hardship. AS for drink it
makes poverty out of affiuence, and the
drunken poor man will stay poor and
get poorer.

The News, in fulfillment of its prom
Use on Friday last, to-day clears the
ground for thorough tariff campaign
by brief glance, which to young
voters and those of foreign birth may
not be amiss, at the history Of the ques-
tion in this country.
The tariff question is no new one. 1t
figured in the war of the revolution, in
that of 1912, in that with Mexico and in
the rebellion. 1t has been at the bot
tom Of all our troubles, either with our
neighbors or among ourselves.
Begin with the colonies under British
rule. They had free trade forced upon
them, and during the long period of
tutelage few manufactures gained a
footing in the country except purely
domestic ones. The country suffered as
Ireland suffers to this day from British
policy, which aimed in effect to supply
the colonies with manufactured goods,
while taking payment in farm and forest
produce. Hence arose much of the dis
content of the colonists, an ingenious
people wishing for material advance
ment. The war was fought for free
dom from taxation without representa-
tion, and for free manufactures rather
than free trade. The truth of this prop
osition cannot be disputed when it is
remembered that one Of the first OBJ
jects of forming constitutional govern
ment was to provide by tariff for the
development of home Industries, and in
that policy Republicans--as we should
call them now--lile Hamilton and
Democrats like Jefferson were in entire
agreement. Indeed, Jefferson while
President was not only an avowed tariff
man but an upholder of the policy Of in
ternal improvements at the common ex-
pense--a river and harbor man.
There was need enough of tariff legis'
lation. The colonies, freed from British
taxation by the war, had not been freed
from British competition because each
framed its own laws and there was no
harmony among their several systems.
The public were impoverished, soldiers
who had been paid in Continental money
came near starving, because it was IRE
decmable, public credit touched its low
est ebb and monarchism chuckled at the
sight.
With the adoption of the constitution
and the passage of the first tariff laws,
prosperity and peace came hand in
hand, disturbed only briefly by the war
of 1912. itself fruit of British CONNER
cial aggression upon the sea, until new
and dangerous foe arose within the re-
public-the slave power.
At the foundation Of our republic
there had been no pro-slavery party.
Jefferson and Madison and Monroe
fondly hoped and indeed expected that
slavery, which they deemed curse,
would be gradually extinguished. But
by degrees there rose in the South the
strongest and most malign political
party that ever country was cursed
with, and its twin idols were free trade
and slave labor. II was called Demo-
