The Mckinley Act and Reeds Ruling.
The republicans have been expecting that
the supreme court would decide that the
Mckinley law was constitutional, and chat
the rule adopted by the House, which per-
United Mr.. Reed, the speaker Of the billion
dollar congress, to count q quorum was
valid. In the lower court 1t was held that
Mr.. Reed had no valid authority for count
ing quorum, but it seems the supreme
court takes an entirely different view of the
matter. The ooBtitutionality of the Nc
Kinley act was attacked on several grounds,
the main one being that its reciprocity
feature conferred on the President powers
which could be exercised constitutionally
only by congress.
The ground upon which was based the
hope of getting rid of the Mckinley tariff
law by means of the courts has been re-
moved, and the only way the people can re-
lieve themselves of its burdens is by elect
ing democratic congress and democratic
President Gov. Mckinley said the other
day that the law would not be changed in
any particular in ten years. That is his
view Of the matter. II the Democratic
party makes no mistakes in the approach
ing campaign the next administration and
the next House will be democratic,
and it will be democratic on
the tariff issue. II such should be the case
the republican Senate would hardly dare,
in the face of such an emphatic expression
of public sentiment in favor of a reform of
the tariff. oppose a repeal of the most
obnoxious features Of the Mckinley law.
1t is not probable that the present House,
or any future democratic House. will adopt
the Reed rule for counting a quorum, not
withstanding the decision of the supreme
court that the House has right to make
such rule. There is, therefore, no
probability of the rule coming into general
use in the House unless the Republican
party should obtain control Of that body
for long period, and the prospect OF its
| doing that is not promising.

The wigwam for the democratic national
convention at Chicago is to be circular in
form, with a pit in the center for delegates.
Terraced seats will be arranged around the
middle ring. just as they are in a circus.
The entrance will be through wells" under
the outer circle of seats This arrangement
suggests that it would be good idea for
the national committee to provide itself
with huge canvas, seats OF boards and
scantling made after the approved plan; a
ticket wagon, and other accessories that will
readily suggest themselves, SO that the out-
fit may be changed from place to place at
short notice anu it will not he necessary ito

tion is to be held.

Called His Bluff.

Two lassies from the Salvation Army strolled
rather than marched up Broadway the other
night. carrying their bundles of the War Cry,
asking every one they passed to buy, says the
New York Morning AdUertAse The theater
performances were just Over and the streets
thronged. Many were the rebuffs received, but
they took it in good part and responded with a
cordial MAY the Lord bless you" AT last the
twain approached a crowd in front of cafe
near the Bijou theater. Haven't any change"
said stout, red-faced sport, whose features are
always TO be seen on the Rialto. "All I've got is
a $50 bill. Lord bless YOU, sir. we can change
it, said the meek little woman in the poke bon
net 'All right, here you are; owe you a
quarter eh?" The soldier-girl handed over a
paper and reached down in her somber dress
for her purse. The purse was great bag. She
slowly counted out nine silver dollars, a dozen
half dollars, and then quarters, dimes, nickels,
and pennies without end. The red-faced sport
was so Handicapped with coin when she gave
him the change that he could hardly move.
May the Lord bless you, sr' said the demure
woman as she moved away. But there was a
twinkle Ia her eye and culver around the
mouth that made the crowd laugh heartily.
The Salvation Army girl had called the sports
bluff.

A Warning for Emperor william.

n - nAA4k III Ill VI - aAAAoA-@s
The German emperor has received a
warning which. if be is wise, he will heed.
The riots which occurred IN Berlin last
week ought TO convince him that the dis
content that exists among the workingmsn
Of his empire cannot be silenced by his es-
sertion that his will is law and that those
who do not like bis ways can quit the
country. The discontented people are under
the impression that they have as much right
to remain in Germany as be has. and thatit
is their privilege to demand that their
grievances shall be given respectful and
careful consideration. II is certain that
they are not going TO quit the country. and
it is pretty safe to predict that il their de-
mands are not given attention they will
become much more troublesome than they
have been.
he is the first Prussian sovereign who has
been hooted for more than forty years. and
that fact must cause him unpleasant re-
Elections. It must make him feel that the
respect which his people have for him is not
very great. and IL he Is not totally blind TO
the meaning of the unfriendly demonstra-
tions the suggestion must force itself upon
his mind that he is pursuing a course full of
danger. The condition of affairs must be
pretty bad when a sovereign is afraid to
ride through the streets Of his capital. On
Saturday the Emperor William was forced
to avoid the main thoroughfares and to en-
ter his palace by the back door.
There IS an impression in Berlin that he
is not entirely sane. His actions on a num-
Der of occasions are not regarded by his
people as those Of a man in his right mind.
He does not seem to recognize the fact that
his people have certain rights which he is
bound to respect.
II he continues to pursue the mad policy
which he has adopted he will eventually
ALLEVIATE his whole people. He feels strong
now because he has an immense army, but
that army is drawn from the ranks OF the
people, and if he disregards those rights he
may create a feeling OF hostility to himself
in the army. IL he could not depend upon
the army he would be entirely powerless.
The present unhappy state of affairs, Of
course, suggests the thought that he will
endeavor to provoke foreign war, in order
to draw the attention Of the people away
from domestic affairs, but would he nave
their support if he should adopt that coursel
The probability is he would not. The people
OF European countries, particularly Of Ger
many, are doing a little more thinking
for themselves now than formerly, and
they are not willing to spill the blood Of
their fellow men without cause which ap-
pears to them to be sufficient II, therefore,
the emperor should endeavor to quiet the
discontentn at home by provoking a war
abroad he might find himself harassed by
both domestic and foreign troubles.
Apparently the thing for him to do is TO
apply himself to the work of finding out
the causes Of the discomfort of his people
and Of removing them to as great an extent
as he can.

TWO sides to the story.

The statement which Secretary Blaine
gave to the public yesterday, through the
Associated Press, relative to the marriage
Of his son to Miss Nevins aud the troubles
which grew out OF it, shows that a great
deal of injustice has been done the Blaine
family in the public prints in connection
with that affair. In this opinion, it is as
sumed, of course, that the statement is an
impartial one.
It was natural that the Blaine family
should not have been pleased with the mar
riage. Young Blaine was not IS years old
and was wholly dependent upon his father
for bis support, and Miss Nevins was with
out any fortune whatever. Miss
Nevins was considerably older than
young Blaine and much more mature.
She was certainly old enough, and knew
enough about business matters, to be GER
tain that young Blaine could not support
her. And she appears to have been much
more anxious for the marriage than the
boy.
But after Mr.. Blaine became convinced
that what had been done could not be IN
done he showed a commendable willingness
to shoulder the new burden which had been
imposed upon him. He offered his son and
daughter-In~law a handsome house and an
income sufficient to support them in COM
fort. His daughter-in-law, however, had
views of her own which she proceeded to act
upon. The result was that she eventually
found herself separated from her husband
and without any means OF support. She
told bar n tho p,hlfO 70
time, and the public sympathized with her.
The BIaines said nothing, but, according to
Mr.. Blaine's statement, they suffered a
great deal in silence. The last act in this
unhappy domestic drama was presented in a
South Dakota court, which granted
young Mrs. Blaine divorce. Mr.. Blaine
| says he would not have made statement
to the public with respect to the matter if
the South Dakota judge had not gone out
wife was the ictim Of cruel treatment at
the hands of the Blaines.
If Mr.. Blaine's statement does no one in :
justice the divorced wife is more to blame
| than any one else for her misfortunes and
| her unhappy situation. She married a
boy whom she insisted upon treat
ing as q boy. He rebelled finally,
| and his parents, as was natural
under the circumstances, sustained him.
There is, of course, nothing to be said in
justification Of his conduct. He was, from
all accounts. a pretty bad boy, and, as a
man, his father has no reason to be proud
of him.
| The divorced wife will have something to
say, probably in reply to MIR. Blaine, and then
the public will have had about all it wants
of the domestic affairs of the Blaine family
