The New Congress.
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS TO FORMALLY
DISCUSS THE GENERAL TARIFF
POLICY OF THE PARTY.

While the Democratic leaders, are,
as a rule, opposed to the proposition
for an extra session, and Mr. Cleve
land himself does not favor it, such a
situation is developing as will make it
probable that the Fifty-third congress
will meet early in October of next
year instead Of their assembling being
delayed until next December. Be
tween now and the 18th of March and
probably at an early day, there will be
a formal secret conference or a series
of conferences between President elect
Cleveland, Senator Carlisle, Speaker
Crisp, Senator German, Senator Vor-
hees, Representative Wilson, and prob
ably Mcmillan, and Senator Mills for
the purpose of discussing the general
tariff policy Of the party
1t is expected that in this way will
be outlined before congress meets
about what is to be done with the tar
if. The reason that both President
elect Cleveland and the party leaders
are now unable to determine whether
or not there should be an extra session
is that the question does not depend
entirely upon the tariff If that were
the only matter it could be definitely
stated now that there wound be no ex-
ira session as it can be that there will
be none before Fall. The financial
situation of the government, however,
will probably compel congress to come
together a month or two earlier than
the Democrats will otherwise consider
desirable

The Logic of the Situation.

1t was the logic Of the situation
which compelled the nomination Of
Grover Cleveland.
He stood pre-eminent as the en-
bodiment OF the main issue of the
campaign, an issue forced by himself
tariff reform. Not to have nominal
ed him would have been to shirk the
issue. The Democratic party dis
played the pluck of its preferences as
well as the courage of its convictions
when it renominated the author of
the famous tariff.reform message.
The logic Of the situation to-day
points as plainly to an early revision
of the tariff twice condemned by the
people.
In their national platform the De-
mocrats denounced the Mckinley act
as the ''culminatlng atrocity OF class
legislation" and promised its repeal
as one Of the benehcent results that
will follow the actiot: of the people in
intrusting spower to the Democratic
party.
When the people accepted this
promise and gave full power to the
Democratic party they did not expect
that its fulhlment would be delayed
for two years. The bLrden of un.
equal taxation presses upon them now.
They have right to expect relief as
soon as 1t can be afforded with due
deliberation and proper care.
The logic and the necessities of the
situation point to an extra session 10
prepare the way for prompt and yet
intelligent and conservative action
when the regular session shall meet.
The next President is a Democrat in
order that the will of the people may
be the law of the land. That will
should be made law without unne-
cessary delay World.

HOW THEY SMILE.

Immediately after the election our
republican friends said they were glad
the democratic party would have con
troll of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives, together with the presl
dency. They say, give the democrats
full control and let us see what they
will do. These expressions from the
republicans, were from the lips only
and not from the heart. The Phila
delphia Inquirer of the 18th, gives
the real situation in the following
words:
"The country seems to be just
wakened up to a full understanding of
what the Democratic victory means.
Hundreds of thousands of full grown
men voted the Democratic ticket un
der the impression that ii Cleveland
did not suit they could turn him out
at the end of four years. Unfortu-
nately for people who do not take the
trouble to understand the plan Of the
United States Government, while
Cleveland may be turned out, it is not
so easy to reverse the Democratic ma
jority in the United States Senate.
The tariff smashers may get in their
work the country may reverse the re-
cent verdict four years hence, but I'M
less the Democratic majority in the
Senate be reversed the election Of 4
Republican President and House
would count for little A large ma
jority of the Senators who will so into
Office in 1895 will nearly all come
from Democratic States. 1t is one
thing to give party control Of all the
governmental machinery; it is another
thing to dislodge it so as to place mat
tiers where they were before. Fore
sight is good deal better than hind
sight.

within one year after his election, wag-

THE PATH OF DUTY.
Cleveland Sees a Bright Future.
FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND
THE COUNTRY.

The speech made by President elect
Cleveland at the banquet given by
Henry Willard recently has been made
public. In the course of it he said i:
Every feeling of jubilation and even
my sense of gratitude is so tempered
as to be almost entirely obscured by
realization, nearly painful, of the respon-
sibility l have assumed in the sight Of
the American people. My ylove Of coun-
try, my attachment to the principles
of true Democracy, my appreciation
of the obligation | have entered into
with :he best and most coniding peo.
pie in the world, and a consciousness
Of my own weakness and importance,
all conspire to fl, my mind with sober
and oppressive reflection. When l
consider all that we have to do as 4
party charged with the control OF the
government, l feel that our campaign
instead Of being concluded is bu; just
begun.
What shall our performance be oi
the contract We have made with ou'
countrymen and how shall we justify
the trust they have imposed in US? Il
we see nothing in our victory but d.
cense to reyel in partisan spo.ls, We
shall fail.at every point five mere
ly profess to enter upon our wo,k. and
if we make apparent endeavor 10 DO !;
as cover tor seeking partisan adyan.
tage, we shall invite contempt and dis
grace. If we attempt to discharge olI
duty to the people without complete
party harmony in patriotic action, we
shall demonstrate our incompetency.
II thank God that far above al
doubts and misgivings, and way be
yond all difficulties we may constant,
see the lights of hope and safety. The
light we see is the illumination from
the principles OF true, honest and pure
Democracy, showing the way in al
times Of danger and leading US to the
fuilhIlment OF political duty and the re
demption of our pledges. This ligh
is kindled in the love of justice anC
in devotion to the peoples rights. 1
is bright in a constant patriotism anC
in nations promise. Let US not b'
misled to our undoing by other light
of false Democracy which may be kin

ing in hypocracy will, if followed. lur

The Tariff and Business.

The public will take little note of
the disappointed partisans who threat
en- to stop their mills and factories be-
cause the people have revolted against
the Mckinley tariff. Such threats
must come from three classes of bust
iness men-frst, the few who have
been enriched by tariff taxes and paid
out their money as usual to buy con
tinued control of tariff legislation
second, the violent partisans who
learn nothing and forget nothing; and,
third. the bankrupt business men who
are seeking some excuse for proclaim
ing their want Of business skill and
success.
There has been no Presidential con.
test during the last score of years that
has not been speedily followed by re-
ductons of wages in many of our pro.
tected industries. The protected en-
ployers are always averse to reduced
wages or stopping mills daring national
campaigns, as they want TO control
the votes of their workmen In favor OF
nigh tariff candidates; but when the
election is over and political necessi
ties perish, wage reduction and stop
pages of mills follow regardless of the
decision of the people.
The national contest of 1883 was
fought on the tariff issue, and increased
prosperity and wages were promised
on every side if Harrison won; bu,

Additional Tax on Distilled Spirits.

For some time past there have been
reports that the administration would
recommend to congress, on its reas.
semb.ing in December, the imposition
OF an a l'lItional tax of forty cents a
gallon on distilled spirits 10 meet the
deficit which it is feared may arise in
the government finance owing to heavy
pension payments. 1t can be stated
on good authority that there is very
little probability, if indeed there be
even possibility.

Not Biela's Comet.
PROFESSOR BOSS SAYS THE wANDERER
is NOT APPROACHING THE EARTH.

According to Professor Lewis Boss,
the widely known astronomer in charge
Of the Dudley Observatory, Albany
the public has fallen into serious error
in its notion about the comet which
is now the popular theme of speculation.
Professor Boss has been looking at it
very intently for several nights past
and has figured out somewhat start
ling deductions from the data ;hus Sc,
cured.
The professor said that the comet is
not B!ela's or even a part OF Biela's
According to Professor Boss it travel,
ed for short time in the path which
Biela's name sake used to disport itself
but it has now stopped that practice
The comet, he says, is distant from the
earth two hundred and fifty million
miles, instead OF eleven million miles
as is popularity supposed. The profes
sor says that this estimate is not exact
and that he will have to verify it furth
er. But for all practical purposes he
thinks it will answer
The comet is not approaching the
earth, either directly or indirectly. Or
the contrary, it is travelling almost
directly away from the earth. This
the professor asserts is proven beyond
a doubt. In view OF these conclusions
the professor adds that there will not
be any collision with the earth nor
any meteoric displays, nor in fact any
celestial exhibition of any sort.
