The Republicans and III. Tariff.

Secretary Charles Foster, while de-
claring that the tariff was the cause
OF the Republican overthrow, says 1t
would be nonsense for the Republi-
cans to abandon in any degree their
present policy" The st. Louis Globe
Democrat thinks, however, that the
Secretary Is not q wise counselor In
the present emergency. This able
Republican journal says: aWhen an
army meets an overwhelming defeat
Its commander, IL he knows his bust
ness, at once inquiries into causes,
with the intention Of remedying
them, and thus to put his forces In
better condition for the next en-
counter. II the defeat be due to the
inc0mpetency or negligence Of his
lieutenants they are either removed
or reduced; II to q faulty plan of
campaign the plan Is altered; and II
to the adoption Of a wrong position
the positions taken in the future, SO
far as conditions will permit, will be
different. The leaders OF q great
party, after the defeat OF their party,
will, II they are at all fitted for their
posts, make . like investigation and
take similar precautions.
@The Republican party was beaten
because It had taken q wrong position
on some OF the leading questions Of
national concern. 1t was wrong on
the Federal election matter; it was
cmphatically and fatally wrong on
the tariff. The passage OF the Nc
Kinley law OF 1880 was the greatest
blunder ever committed by any party
since the Democratic crime OF seces-
sion. It overwhelmingly defeated
the party In the Congressional cleo
tiOn OF that year, and It Was the lead
Ing cause In the overthrow this year.
Many Republicans who we're never In
favor OF the act believed after the
setback OF 1890 that the popular
hostility to 1t would subside by the
time the Presidential election came
around, and that the party might
then retain Its supremacy In the
executive branch of the Government
and regain control OF the legislative
branch. The returns show how CON-
pletely and c~onspicuously those hopes
have been blasted.
The party must, OF course, adhere
to the protective policy, but it must
be protection Of the rational kind
the protection which keeps the inter-
ests OF consumers a. we'll a. those OF
producers In view. 1t must BIO the
kind OF protection which the party
adopted 1t the beginning of its "a
reer, which 1t began to practically
exemplify In the early @7Os" by re-
ducing discriminatory but decided.
", and which 1t maintained until the
Mckinley school Of economists forced
themselves to the front. Under this
sign tho Republicans can again con-
Quer."

President Harrison did not find 1t
necessary to run away from his party
friends In the intervals between cleo
tion and inauguration, though prob
ably no Presidentelect ever had q
greater number Of visitors. Indeed,
from the day OF his nomination to
the 4th OF March he practically kept
open house and denied himself to
none who called. He was criticised
by those who did not know him as a
@cOld" man, but though he may not
have greeted all who came with the
efiusivcness suitable to the reception
of lOng.lost and beloved relatives, he
at least received them with civility
and listened to what they had to say.
But Mr.. Harrison "a not confronted
with the difficult problem OF explain
ing to the representatives OF party
factions how the coming admins
tratlOn was to reduce the tariff
without injuring business or how 1t
was to avoid the reduction without
cOnfessing that the party policy was
q failure and Its platform a lie. Mr..
Cleveland Is a stolid person, but he
cannot stand this strain, and, there
fore, slips of between two days to a
secret hiding place. But II MI. Har-
rison had had such a problem to con-
slider any one fancy him indulg-
ing in such a cowardly refuge from
his difficulties? And can any one
imagine MI. Harrison dismissing in
quiring reporters by sending back
their cards with the cheap and an
Gent gag" that he could not read
writing?"
Mr.. Cleveland ia President-elect,
and as such the people, regardless OF
party, would like to respect him. but
unless he preserves his dignity better
they will find this increasingly dill.
cult to do.

President LincOln's sage proyerb
relative to the disadvantage of swap
ping horses in the middle Of a stream,
applies to many of the ordinary af-
fairs OF life. Especially should it be
taken to heart by the joker who is
not sure of his game. The following
story is told by Irving Montagu:
During the Russo-Turkish war,
when WI were on very short ratiOns,
we were one day about to do justice
to a fowl which We had-well-
caught, and duly cooked. On turn
ing, we were surprised to find one OF
a long train of Cossack bullock-drjv-
ers stopping and looking down at us
with envious curiosity.
We began talking to him with
playful b~adinage, rubbish which we
felt, being in English, would do very
we'll for an ill-bred Muscovitc. He
listened to our chat with stolid in
difference, until Coningsby, dividing
the fowl and holding up one-half by
the drumstick, said:
"Does a fondness for cold fowl run
in your family, dear boy? This sort
Of thing would suit you to a T."
In a moment that clumsy wagner
became a new man. All nervous en-
ergy and settled purpose, he sprang
suddenly forward, grasped the fleshy
end Of that drumstick in his grimy
fingers, and the next instant had
mangled it with his teeth beyond re-
claim.
He had taken Coningsby at his
word, and We were left on short COM
mons indeed, though this surprise,
sudden as it was, quite eclipsed by
that which followed, when that burly
bullock-driver replied, in excellent
English:
@Ah, just so! Sad, isn't it? Very
sad. Lost your leg. But not in the
serviGe-no, not 50 bad IS that. any
how"
Then, turning to a dog which I had
not before noticed, he said:
Crunch, poor Crunch. Hungry,
too? Never mind. there's the bone.
Make the best OF it. Thank you.
Good morning. Remember, there
may be Britishers in Cossack garb, az
well as wolves in sleeps clothing"
