MAYOR PoTTER.s EXCUSE.

Mayor Potter has made feeble at
tempt to justify his course in not call
ing the City Council committee ON the
city engineers department together to
execute the request of the City Council.
lie is quoted as stating that in his opin-
ion the resolutions passed by the City
Council, calling for report upon the
condition Of Fruit Hill reservoir. did
not demand in detail that recommenda-
tions for plan of repair should be
made, and therefore his opinion was
| that the committee need only indorse
certain statistics already submitted by
the city engineer.
80 the mayor calmly settled the mat
ter by pigeon-holing the resolution. He
felt himself entirely confident 10 decide
Tor the committee whether it should re-
spond to the perfectly well-known intent
OF the City Council or join him in a
qulbble unworthy the intelligence of a
grammar-school boy.
The mayor knew what was the nature
OF the service the City Council required
OF the committee on city engineers de-
partment. All the members Of that
committee knew. He knew that the
matter ought to be attended to at once.
Nothing could be more obvious, nothing
could be palmer 1t was his duty to
call the committee together. 1t was the
committees duty TO formulate the aues-
lon OF the proper repair of Fruit Hill
reservoir for the information and gui-
dance of the City Council.
III is not necessary TO instruct the COM
mittees Of the City Council in every de-
tail of their duties. The implied con-
tention of the mayor that it is is absurd.
1t is the special province of committees
to formulate legislation for the council.
1t was exactly this that the committee
on the city engineers department was
expected TO do in this case.
Mayor Potter made it simply impossi-
BILE for this committee TO do its duty.
He became an obstructionist merely TO |
hold the question of the repair of the
Fruit Hill reservoir in abeyance until
after the city election.
The mayors political sponsor has de-
1oted several years arduous labor to
he task of making an ex-city engineer
'esponsible for the condition of Fruit
Hill reservoir and has doubtless in
tructed Mr.. Potter to do nothing that
would tend to make rift in the black
loud this sponsor has imagined it has
onjured about the head of the ex-city
ngineer.
III Is mighty poor excuse the Mayor
lakes, and mighty small political ex-
edient that prompts the excuse.

three succulent fowls in his bag. when he
was startled by noise outside and had
just time to thrust the sack and its con-
tents beneath his coat, when the door of
the hen house swung back and the owner
of the edifice stood before him.
"How's this, Uncle JoeY" demanded
the colonel, in q grieved voice. as he
reached over and pulled out the sack.

THE JOURNAL ON FREE WOOL

Our esteemed free trade comtempo.
rary, the Journal, after some months of
silence, during which it is said OH re-
liable authority that one of its owners
made more money in wooden manufac.
ture than ever before, and during which
time there has been an entire absence
of labor troubles at the same mills
after some months of that practical
kind of silence we say the Journal has
again presented itself as an advocate of
free wool, and it bases its argument
mainly on the position which Ohio has
recently taken in regard to this question.
Like most of the past election argu-
ments of the Democratic organs, its par
tial and unwarranted statement is worse
than a deliberate misstatement. The
inference which the public is to draw
from the statements made is that since
Ohio has at last so nearly declared for
Democratic electors it has virtually
abandoned its plea for protection or
wool.
The truth is that in Ohio. as else
where, Mr.. Cleveland's vote is per.
sonal one, and has very little to do with
the protective theory.
But laying aside the personal nm.
popularity of the candidates. we must
look at the legislative machinery Of
Ohio. When in 1899 Gov. Campbell
was elected by 10,s72 plurality over
Gov. Foraker-and elected openly by the
vote of the beer gardens of Cincinnati.
which were opposed TO Gov. Foraker's
fearless enforcement of the Sunday
closing law-there followed the most
infamous gerrymander of the Congress
sional districts tlat ever disgraced the
statute books of any State. Even the
Journal, blind as it is TO Democratic
faults, was compelled TO condemn the
shameless action Of the Ohio legislature.
In the election which followed. in
1890, the Ohio delegation to Congress
was changed from sixteen Republicans
and five Democrats to seven Republi.
cans and fourteen Democrats.
That was the campaign of misrepre.
and, combined with the
yerrymander, it even accomplished the
iefeat of Mckinley, who was beaten by
plurality for his opponent, Warwick.

A GUDGEON BAIT FOR THE
PRESIDENT.

The New York Herald suggests n
course of action for President Harrison
; that, if adopted, would stultify him
personally, falsify his record and the
record of his party, and deliver over the
Republican party to fate which would
promise it nothing but minority inter.
est in the government of the country
for many years to come, if il did not
wipe it completely out of existence.
The Herald says: President Harri-
son now has rare opportunity to show
that he is chief magistrate of the people
and not OF party; that he is an Ameri-
can above Republican, patriot above
a partisan and statesman above a pol-
itician."
What the Herald wants the President
to do is TO advise in his annual message
that the tariff law be revised by the
present congress. "The matter should
be taken up deliberately, proceeded
with carefully, and the law revised mod
erately," says this mentor and guide.
Again it says:
There must be no precipitate. no
sudden, no extreme action. The work
is to be taken up deliberately. II must
be advanced slowly and done gradually
1t can be begun and some progress
made with greater safety and advantage
by the wise cooperation of both par.
ties than by the uncontrolled action Of
one party=fHshed with victory and
eager for the exercise of power"
There are two obvious differences 70
be drawn from this somewhat remark.
able proposition.
The first Is that the Herald is afraid
OF what the Democratic party may do in
the next congress, when it will be
" flushed with victory and eager for the
exercise of power" 1t evidently dare
not trust the Democrats to attempt TO |
execute " the will of the people," as ex-
pressed by the late election. That is n
reasonable proposition that all can
thoroughly understand and appreciate.
The other inference is that the Her
aid seems TO imagine that the President
ought to be willing TO falsify his whole
record, the record Of his party, its plat
form and the splendid record Of the Nc
kinley law, merely to help save the
Democrats from the consequences of
having power thrust upon them. II
believes that the Republican
concern for the welfare of the country
would operate TO check the Democrats
in any wild rush for free trade they
might be goaded TO make in the Fifty.
third congress by the Watterson ele-
ment.
The Republican platform declares
nnequivocally for protection as formu.
lated in the Mckinley bill; Gen. Harri-
sons letter of acceptance declares for
{; the whole Republican faith hinges

One week ago and the Republican
party was cast down in the gloom OF
defeat. Since then it has seen its
errors. 1t has found the causes of its
defeat, and to-day it stands as buoyant
and confident of its future as at any
time in its splendid past.
What have we lost? A President who
was defeated partly by his own unpop-
ularity and most of all by management
OF his canvass. Even where the mis-
management was most apparent the
party principles have gained ground.
we presented that fact in detail yester-
day. Now we cite Iowa, the hotbed of
prohibition, fertile field for Farmers
Alliance theories and one of the greatest
agricultural states in the West. The
campaign was there fought for protec-
ton and was well managed.
what is the result? A popular ma
Jority of 10000 for Harrison, and con-
gressionaf delegation Of five Republicans
and six Democrats changed into dele
CATION of ten Republicans and one
Democrat. We have returned to the
victorious condition of 1888 and protec-
tion is vindicated.
Now let us cite Massachusetts,, the
birthplace of mugwumpry, tariff re-
form and the industrial centre of New
England. There the campaign was
managed ably and was fought on pro-
lection lines. What is the result
Harrison received $4,000 plurality the
congressional delegation is changed
from five Republicans and seven Demo.
Gratis to ten Republicans and three
Democrats, and the Legislature is more
solidly Republican than it has been in a
dozen years.
These are the facts, and our Demo-
cratic friends are welcome 10 what en-
they can draw from them.
The industrial East has set its stamp of |
on protection and Mckinley
ism. The agricultural West has also
it, and in two years more
t will make that approval almost unan-
nous. So much for isolated cases.
Now for the summary North of Mason
md Dixon's line Republicans now have
II congressman and the Democrats have
49, On the 18th of March next the
will have 123 congressman
rom the same districts and the Demo
rats 81. The great northern tier of
tates, from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
as changed its Democratic congress

his is the result of a campaipn
