Our Democratic friends really deserve com

not only torn asunder with internal discussions,
but with no issue except the Force bill DOGGY
TO bank on They have been knocked ont
at every round. The last and worst blow
that has befalcn them comes from their own,
their One hundred fifty majority Congress.
This Congress, among other great reforms it
was to set on foot, was to inauguratc an era
of retrenchment and reform. They were 10

and to make n record as, for instance, with
out the power TO repeal the Mckinley bill,
they were going 70 show the party's DISPOSE
ton by passing through their One hundred
and fifty majority House sweeping and radi-
cal tariff reform measure; bill thao would
arouse the enthusiasm of the Mugwumps and
sound the keynote for a Free-Trade campaign.
Instead of which they gave the cold shoulder
to the Mugwumps and Free-Tradc candidate
for Speaker, and adopted the policy Of tinkcring.
Then they were going TO put the Republicans
in a hole on the silver question, which they pro-
posed TO dodge with such shrewdncss as to have
themselves facing both ways. so as 70 catch
the votes of both sides. They monllcycd"
with that question and got left with their " tail
in the door
But the issue they counted on mO>t-thc one

the "Billion Dollar Congress" All factions
united in the cry. However much they differed
on the tariff or silver or other issues, they
agreed perfectly in arraigning the List Con-

kept up the parrot cry Of Billion-Dollar Con

must be put in control to save tho country from
bankruptcy and ruin. Every Democrat in good
standing was expected to sound this particular
alarm and keep 1t up.
But the one hundred and fifty Democratic
majority has lately been struggling with that
crucial test of the Congressional economist and
reformer. the River and lIarbor bill. Every
one Of the one hundred and fifty has
been trying to get something for his
