SOME ACTION NECESSARY.

it is getting high time that the Sem
ate adopt as soon as possible a rule
which will enable a vote to be reached
on a measure after sufficient time
has been allowed the Senate to discuss
it. The people and the press recog-
nize the fact that some rule Of this
kind is necessary il tariff reform and
other legislation is to be effected by
the present session OF Congress. So
far, Republican minority have COM
pletely succeeded IN blocking 1egisla-
ton, and the Democrats have been
deprived of the fruits Of the victory
they won at the last election.
The present condition of things
presents'the strange anomaly of a
party in full power in every branch
of government, and yet poweriess to
carry out its pledges. If this state
of things keeps up very long the
masses will begin to lose confidence
in the administration and the Re-
publicans will make political capital
out of it in the next campaign. OF
course the proprietors of protected
industries and manufactures are
noting with great satisfaction the
success with which a fiflerbustering
minority have so far INSTRUCTED legis-
lation, especially the repeal OF the
Sherman law. All of this is having
its effect. Immediately after the
repeal of the Sherman law In the
House, business hogan to pick up
and confidence was in great meas
ure restored. But now every step
taken by manufacturers is taken with
great caution and deliberation. Peo-
pie are beginning to become doubt
full again; and the result is that the
same widespread distrust is about
to grow prevalent again. Such is
the situation. The party cannot
carry out its pledges; and although
in control of everything, it cannot
enact single law that would tend te
ameliorate the condition of things
And thus it is becoming clear to the
people that if Congress wishes to DE-
anything, some steps will have to bt
taken by which vote in the Senate
can be forced Until this is done
no Democratic law can be enacted.
1t is said, however, that the pres
ent opposition to the repeal OF the
Sherman law is nothing compared te
the opposition that will be arrayed
against the tariff reform bill later on
This is the main issue upon whlcl
the Democrats came into power; this
is the principal pledge that the adj
ministratron made to the people, and
in fact is the embodimento of the over
wheli.ing victory of Cleveland at th'
polls. The protected manufacturers
will array money, power, bribery ant
everything else against the passage
of any reform legislation. Every
energy will be exerted to defeat any
measure that will tend to take off the
protection from their petted indust
RES. Chief among the obstacles K
thwart the passage OF laws will b'
the course of fillerbusterlng now pur.
sued, And as long as the Senate
is unable to check this course WI
need not expect either the repeal o
Sherman law or the passage OF any
tariff reform measure. Let some
steps be taken therefore to remedy
matters and prevent a minority from
completely blocking the course o
needed legislation.

THE opinion which City Solicitor FL

the City Council seems to be distinctly a
Republican opinion. It is similar TO the
dialectic structure that u. Greeuleaf

county some $40, 600. but it was supposed
TO be constructed in the interest and for
the benefit Of the Republican party. Mr.

opinion proposes now TO use the money
OF the commissioner paying Hayden, a
Republican official. II this case comes
before the courts Mr. Elliotts opinion
will be reversed. as Mr.. Bradford's par.
tisan opinions have been reversed. We
regret that Mr. Elliott has put himself
