SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, SO.

The demand is made for haste in
the disposition of the tariff meas
ure now before Congress, on the
plea that uncertainty fills the pub
lie mind with apprehension and
does mischief. 1t is not any I'M
certainty that is doing mischief
now, but the certainty that
the Democratic program will, if
carried out. do incalculable injury
to the industries of the nation. Dis
abuse the manufacturing and pro-
ducing classes of the idea that
their interests are imperiled, assure
the financiers that they can safely
advance money to the mills and
mines, and there would be no far
Their trouble. 1t is the certainty of
the injuries that are sure to follow
that now lays by the heels all the
enterprises Of the people.

The Democra tic supporters of
the new tariff measure will call a
caucus to consolidate the strength
of the party upon the adoption of
it as presented. If they attempt
this it is certain that some Of the
members of the party will not be
governed by caucus action, and
the attempt to coerce them may
lead to such a breach in the solid
ranks of the majority as to endan-
ger their measure.

The Ways and Means committee
is trying to play roots on the MIN
GRITTY members and euchre them
out Of the time arranged for them

Senate.

The Democrats at Washington
and those in Texas are in the same
boat. They are too far apart for
the accomplishment Of the mis-
chief that they would infallibly
commit if they were united.
That survey for sewers seems to
hang fire. Cannot the authorities
at Austin determine whether the
vote for the appropriation was a
legal one or not? That Austin
crowd are slow procession.
When this Democratic Congress

favor of Egyptian cotton and Aus

1t is not probable that Hill will
support the present tariff measure.
There are two reasons why. The
first is that Cleveland endorses it !;
the second, but it is no matter
about that, the first goes.
Colorado is out of the fight now,

Grover would like to make the

Hill can secure an advantageous

Senate on almost any local measure
in which he desires to antagOnize
| Cleveland and make it interesting
for the big autOcrat.
There is no great rush of bust
ness just now, but as holiday
