, TARIFF REFORM.
rom the Kansas City. No., Journal.

From the Kansas City. No.. Journal
Democratic authorities, so far as
heard from, all agree that the issue this
year must be tariff reform. The reason
for this is plain. There is really moth
ing else upon which the democratic
party can make an issue. The silver
question is important, but democracy is
divided upon it and is afraid to tackle it
anyway. The hullabaloo about the bill
ion dollar congress was intended to be
the ushering-in of new issue; but the
work OF that congress was so superior
in every way to the work of the present
one that shrewd democrats are recog-
nizing that the least said about congress
sional records the better. There is no
other live question before the country
upon which the Bourbon leaders are
willing to risk fight.
The issue, therefore, will be tariff re-
form. Republicans will heartily well
come it. They won one presidential
election upon it, and they have no OBJ
lection to winning another. In 1888,
after an exhaustive discussion of the
question. the country decided that pro-
lection was right and should be main
tanned. There is no reason to doubt that
it is more firmly rooted in that belief
now than then. True, temporary scare
was produced by Misrepresentation of
the Mckinley bill, but time has shown
that the predictions of high prices and
other evils to result from that measure
we're wholly false, and the reaction has
been highly favorable to the republican
cause. The substantial results of the
reciprocity policy have been particularly
Strengthening.
The trnth is that people realize that
tariff reform has already been accom-
plished. The Mckinley law revised
tariff schedules and reformed the sys-
tenn in way to uphold and upbuild
American interests and reduce the sur
plus revenues. Further interference at
the present time would simply be tariff
with the result that business
interests would be disturbed and indus
trial enterprise retarded. There is
abundant reason for concluding that the
country is satisfied with the tariff as it is
at present, and wants no more agitation
Of the subject. In forcing the issue again
he democratic party is simply inviting
what it is certain to receive-an over
Rhelmipg defeat.

voting IN congress twenty -sevon years
after Appomattox with and for the ideas
and policy that made the Lecompton
constitution is one Of tho spectacles
that venality, and worse, could possibly
display before the world. The idea that
the men now airing virtue that sym
bolizes itself by abject nakedness Of
body, represent the progressive people
Of Kansas, is libel on the persistence
of truth. John Davis is an honest man (;
a crusader, crank. many say, but you
can respect him for his sincerity. Be-
yond that words need not be used, for
the good sense of the people will supply
them better than I could, and it relieves
me of the task of saying unpleasant
things. But to see Kansas men openly
acting with party and for its benefit
that has made the record of the house,
that has on all questions that affect the
farmer legislated against the producing
interests, is an exhibition of hypocrisy
that outranks even that of the demo-
cratic party itself.
Why not take step forward, toward
real reform, and attack the century en-
trenched forms monopoly, and free
the people from the usurers Why did
Moses wipe out all debts every fifty
years? Why do we, when the usurer
gets enterprise by the throat and all
men in debt, enact bankrupt laws?
Simply to free enterprise from the grasp
of the usurer ard give back to the peo-
pie the way to exercise their own indus
try and enjoy its earnings. Then why
not make the jubilee year of Moses and
the bankrupt law emancipation of mod
ern times the constant condition of the
people? Just there lies the central idea
of all reforms, and it is what must come
before this longing, as evidenced by
what has been referred to will be salts
fed. There is no exiting organization
that sympathizes with it but the repub-
lican party, and those of us who believe
in it and are so far removed from the
seeking of Office as to care only for re-
suits, must keep the flag of progress
advanced on all proper occasions. In
good time the people will move up to
The line and the work will be done; but
never by office-hunting or by insincere
lemagogues, such as now represent the
80 called reform.

Quit court the three infant children OF
Thomas McGrath, deceased, are suing
William NJ. Lyle, asking $1,000 dam
eyes for the alleged careless killing of
their father. McGrath's death occurred
at Concordis, Mo-, in September, 1890.
He was assistant ticket man to the Full
ford L Co. circus, of which Lytle was
partner. At noon Of the day Of the
killing Lytle was in the ticket wagon
md McGrath was outside. In transfer
Hing q revolver from one drawer to an
other inside the ticket wagon, it was
discharged, the ball striking McGrath
and killing him. The action is brought
under the Missouri statutes, which hold
ene liable for carelessness. The children

second class city in Reno county, from
any Representative district. A number

absurd to deny it. So Hawaii Ill
admitting Asiatics to its shores
has right to take such measures
as shall be necessary to the main
tenance of its laws and civilization.
The bill in its present shape con-
tai S many needlessly harsh pro-
visions, and these should be modi-
fed or expunged.
While a majority of the Legisla-
ture seem to favor the bill, it is
certain that no one is in love with
it, and if anyone could point out
any other satisfactory method of
dealing with the labor question,
this would be cheerfully aban-
doned.
We are at loss however to know
why this bill should be passed, if
the principle of class legislation is
to be adopted by an amendment to
the Constitution. The Attorney
General defends the Registration
Act on the high ground that it is
not just to require of the Chinese
what we will not submit to our
selves. Then why pass an amend
ment authorizing class legislation
On the other hand, if such an
amendment is to be passed, why
compel the whole population to
submit to an Act like this, when a
law requiring the registration Of
Chinese only would serve the pur.
pose?

THE Attorney-General tried to
get fresh committee appointed
yesterday to consider Wilson,
Opium, Gambling and kindred
topics. Perhaps this proposition
was not made for the sake of de-
lay; but, to judge by the mas :
terly inactivity which has charac-
terized some of the select COM
mittees, the Attorney-General
might as we'll have added to his
motion the words to report to
the Legislature of 1894" The
committees already appointed may
be presumed to be competent to
deal with the matter in their
hands, and they have already re-
ported to the House some matters
of Importance. Still it must be
admitted that the things they have
done are as nothing to the things
they have left undone.

OCTOBER II, 1892.

THE House passed the Fifteen
Per Cent. bill yesterday, SO that it
will undoubtedly become law.
Minister Macfarlane tackled an
amendment upon the measure,
however, which makes it compare
lively harmless. By the simple
substitution of the word may" for
"shall" the Ministers are granted
authority to place contracts with
local manufacturers in their dis
cretion, instead of being compelled
to do SOFAS they would have been, in
accordance with the original mea-
sure. This draws the teeth of the
monster, as any Ministry will prob
ably have discretion" enough to
get the Government work done as
cheaply as possible as long as
times are hard and the cash in the
Treasury low.

THE REGISTRATION ACT.

The House is now occupied in
the consideration of a bill which is
certainly one of the most import
ant of the session. This is the
Registration Act.
The bill proposes to introduce
into Hawaii the system of register
ing the inhabitants, which pre-
walls so generally throughout the
continent of Europe. 1t will be
confined in Hawaii to males only.
The object sought is of course to
furnish some control over the
Asiatic population, so that the va
grancy law, and any law limiting
the employment of Chinese can be
really carried out, instead of re-
naming, as the vagrancy law now
is, a dead letter.
The system does not exist in
any Anglo-saxon country, and the
Anglo-Saxons instinctively regard
it as an infringement on personal
liberty. No doubt it is a very
characteristic exhibition of the
scheme of minute state supervision
which is so distasteful to Ameri-
cans in Europe. 1t is easy, how
ever, to overleap the mark in de-
nunciation, and this is what Rep.
Ashford did in his observations
yesterday. The truth is that a
measure of this kind must be
brought to the test of expediency.
There is no abstract right or wrong
in the matter, and Minister Neu-
mann in his admirable speech on
the question put the truth in a nut
shell when he declared this simply
a case of the individual sacrificing
his personal convenience to the
-. ,lfare, and went on to
Do Nun...- sacrifices true ma
