REPUBLICAN MuLISHNEss.
Fanatieism of the Repudiated McKin
IeYites.

Ieyites.
Some of the prominent leaders of the
republican party assert that their or
ganization does not propose to swerye
a hairs breadth from the policy it has
adopted respecting McKinleyisna. but
that 1t is going to wait to take advan-
tage of the inevitable reaction which
must set in. There is n fine flavor of
consistency in this position; but it ex-
hibits in a striking manner the want of
political sagacity on the part of those
who take it. There are some things
toward which reaction can never set
in. We are not aware that when the
slaves were freed there was reaction
in favor of slavery. In fact. it has
been our belief that the anti-slavery
feeling has all the time increased in
intensity, and that it would have been
more and more impossible, as time
went on, for public opinion TO have re-
acted against this one great meritor-
lous proceeding On the part of the
then representatives of the republican
party.
We think the same remark would
hold true concerning McKinleyisn, If
within the next two years a radical
change is made in our tariff system,
practical realization, the effect upon
the country will be to ask for more
changes. Instead of CRYING out for a
restoration of McKinleyism that policy
will be held in reater detestation than
ever before We say this with all con-
fdence, for the reason that experience
here and elsewhere fully justifies the
statement. TIE tariff of 1916, our al

popul ar in 1850 1 nd the years following
than it was at the tine it was enacted.
When Sir Robert Peel succeeded in
abolishipg the corn tax and other pro.
tective taxes in England. ne had in his
support but an exceedingly meager ma
jority of the representative in par1ia-
ment, and 1T is queStionab BILE whether a
general vote in the country would have
accorded to him a popular ma iority.
But after a short experience of the
tremendous benefits that resulted from
freer trade exchange. the English
manufacturers and merchants and the
wage earners of all kinds instantly
realized that the change proposed had
been of great advantage, and that to
go back to the old order of things
would lead to inevita BILE loss.
Considering that more than half of
what was the republican party is open
Iy or secretly dissatisfied with McKin-
1eyism, and that the re Duke of $50 has
been reaffirmed in 1892, it would be
good party policy for the republican
leaders to endeavor, by abandoning
false positions, to put themselves in
condition to appeal successfully to
the voters of this country. If, how
ever, they wish to remain bourbons
to face the sunset, and permit others
to gain the advantage arising from
new opportunities, that is their look
out So far as the democratic leaders
are concerned. they have no cause for
regret at finding their political rivals
so completely blinded by prejudice

LOOKS BETTER.

The French Chamber of deputies Refuses
to Vote NO Confidence BY Decided
Majority
PARIS, Dec. 25.-An attempt was made
TO dissolve the ministry. and for time
1t looked as though such might come to
pass The action and speech of NJ
Ribot. however, defeated this, and the
government is stronger than it has been
for weeks
At cabinet council it was resolved
that the government would accord ac-
quiescence in a full and unrestricted
debate ON NJ Lucien Millevoye's inter
pellation regarding the alleged use OF
money advanced by the Panama Canal
Co in the service of the government.
As result in the chamber the matter
was brought up. and NJ. Rouvier had
just given somewhat lengthy account
of certain transactions, and was still in
the aisle, when NJ Mflevoye stepped
into the speakers tribune.
The first words OF the Boulangist
deputy showed his purpose 10 precipi-
tate crisis Immediately. He spoke
briefly, but violently The present
cabinet, he said, was trusted Meath ar by
the people nor their representatives
Both its members and adherents were
IN the shadow OF fatal suspicion. Men
chosen TO serve the high interests of
France were falling daily under charges
of misrepresenting those interests The
time had come for an appeal to the
preferences of the electors. GApplause
on the right and disorder on Che left
On behalf of those who had the honor
of France al heart he demanded n dis
solution.
At this point uproar on the floor inter
rupted NJ Millevoye and he stood silent
until the cheers and shouts of protests
subsidized. Then he moved a vote of mo
confidence. As he left the tribune
there was little demonstration and Ne
Rlbot, the premier, rose to defend the
government amid profound silence. The
purpose of Miilevoye. he said. was an
parent to all He intended to unload
scandal after scandal upon the govern
ment until he wrecked it TCries of
No! No" from the Boulangists greeted
this statement and NJ. Mnevoye
shouted: The facts will. suffice to
wreck it when all is known I
After the president had restored or
der by repeated appeals to the deputies,
NJ RIbot continued his defense with
the words: Those who fiatter them
selves that there is no governments in
France are deluded, and If the occas ion
comes the present cabinet viii not hes
itate to prove it This government Is
prepared to defend the republic
The frmness and calmness of NJ
Ribots address evidently had won for
him the sympathy of the chamber, for
as he left the tribune he was cheered
with exceptional enthusiasm NJ
Deroulede seemed to realize this and
his subsequent speech was mild to the
point of tamenesS- He explained his
plan for revising the constitution at
some length and in his peroration
astoundedrhis hearers by declaring that
he felt full confidence in the probity
and intelligence of the ministry. NJ
Millevoye's motion of mo confidence
was then put and was lost by vote OF
353 to 81 Tremendous cheering and
applause from the left followed the an
nouncement of the result

THE PLAN OF REFORM.
-ats VIII Decrease Duties is
crease Rerenues.

Democrats VIII Decrease Duties te In
crease Revenues.
The attempt is made in some quar-
tiers to create the impression that diff
ferences of opinion have already arisen
between Mr.. Cleveland and his party
over the plan of tariff reform. No such
differences exist. All democrats are
now agreed that general reform bill
should be introduced as soon as posi-
BILE after the assem- bling OF the con-
gress elect and urged to passage at
once. The plan of separate reform
bills has served its purpose. When the
democrats control both houses there is
no further occasion for separate bills.
There is no question, either, between
Mr.. Cleveland and his party as to per-
centages. All are agreed that demo-
cratic tariff must yield the largest pos
sible revenue with the least possible
restriction As the Reed congress in
creased duties to lower the revenue, so
democrats will decrease duties to in
crease the revenue.
While some democrats and most ed
ucated people who have no special in
terest in restrictive taxation believe
in the theory of free trade, there are
some democrats who believe in a high
er tariff for the present than others
are willing to admit as justifiable. But
there will be no division on this ac-
count. The demand of the financial
as OF the political situation is for the
abolition of prShibitive and restrictive
duties; for a revision which will re-
duce all duties to the revenue basis.
Every duty levied must allow the full
est possible importations consistent
with the highest possible revenue
When we have such an enormous an
nual expense of pensions to meet it is
absolutely essential to open the custom
house gates as wide as possible. that

CHAPTER M-CoNrHuED.

''But if anything happens, Lonz,
pledge you my word that win happen!
The king has done far more audacious
things already than marry an American
girl. AS for a morganatic marriage
Course morganatic marriage!' cried
Alonzo. eff he tried that, and she con-
sented, I'd put a bullet through his
brain, though they hung me ten minutes
afterward.''
'NThey don't hang here; they guillo-
tine" said Eric, calmly. Its much
heater, in a way. But you needn't covet
any such poetic fate. Clarimond loathes
morganatic unions, has more than once
told me. bonz, Lonz! you know him
too well by this time for such kind OF
talk Here you are, rich, through his
generosity, and you talk of him as if he
were some common cad"
"I'l resign my positionp' quavered
A1onzo, with both hands clenched at his
side. ''I1 go to starvation, if you
please
Don't. Go to the ball first
'I'll send him my resignation this
very dayl''
''Wait until the ball is over
Course the bali;''
You're cursing everything, it strikes
me, in the most promiscuous manner"
Forgive me, Eric, but can't help it. -
'You can't help it, dear boy" said
Eric, because your heart is almost
breaking in your breastr' He got up
from his char, and went straight to his
friend, putting his arms about his neck
and kissing him on the forehead. 1t was
a very sweet and simple act, and it was
also one that brimIned with beautiful,
spontaneous fraternity.
Alonzo threw back his head, stared
fOrlOrnly at his companion, and then
flung his head on Eric's broad, virile
shoulder. A great. passionate turmoil
of tears followed-the tears that men
shed, and so tellingly seldom, and that
are wrung, when shed at all, from deep
governed wells of their spirits.
Eric held him in his arms, not speak
ing a word, only throbbing with the
most humane sympathy. But mean
while his brain worked, and he thought,
with the bitterness and irony that GER
tain stern freaks of life will too often
wrench from us, whether we are op-
tilnists, pessimists, or only part of
that huger throng which neither think
nor feel too keenly. "And I brought
him here for this! It's too devilishly
bad! In way he was happy enough
till he'd seen her again, and now it's all
a tumult with him, q madness, a tor
ture. But he'll stay for the ball. He'll
stay, just to see her again. And then?

he'll fly straight in the face of his pres
ent prosperity
