reckon to make up time there easy with

THE SENATE AND THE SILL
WEEP A<NT


On Friday of last week, Senator
Teller of Colorado, the most active
champion in the Senate of the silver
interests declared with great empha-
sis, that the repeal of the Sherman
act was not among the possibilities
of this session of Congress. That
Mr.. Teller understood the situation
in the Senate, is shown by the fact,
that Senator Hills motion on Mon
day to t Ike up the bill to repeal the
silver purchasing act was defeated
by vote OF IL nays to 20 yeas.
OF the thirty two Democratic Sem
ators voting on the motion, twelve
supported Mr.. Hills motion, and
twenty voted against it. In other
words twenty Democratic Senators,
in defiance OF the autocratic instruc-
ton of the President elect, and of the
specific pledge made in the Demo
cratic platform on which Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected, have refused 10
take sep towards the repeal of the
Sherman act, and by their refusal
have stamped their party declaration
Of 1892, that the silver purchase act
was a cowardly makeshift-as a
campaign lie, or what is worse a
cowardly trick to catch The votes OF
the business men of the country.
The likelihood of repeating the
Silver Purchase act or of passing
any honest silver legislation in the
next Congress is hardly more prom
ising than it is in the present Con,
gress. The silver men, who will be
at least equally proportionate in
strength IN the ranks of Democratic
Senators and Representatives, to,
gether with the Republicans from
the extreme West, will fight to the
bitter end in resisting any proposition
which looks towards honest bi-metal,
ism. If Mr. Cleveland shall call ar
extra session, the first thing which
Congress will need to do will be tC
apply to both houses the pariiamen.
tary reform which Thomas B. Reed
introduced in the House, and which
must early become an established
rule if legislation on silver or any
other vital subject is to be obtained
by majority.

IN the trial OF one of tae Home
stead rioters at Pittsburgh last week,
Judge Stowe of Allegheny county,
Pa, took strong ground in favor Of
the right of the Carnegie Company to
employ Pinkertons or whomsoever it
pleases in the defence of its prop
erty, and made short work of the
plea OF the defendants counsel, that
the Pinkerton's were trespassers.
He declared that they had right to
be there; that they would have been
justified if they had gone thither
with the express purpose of taking
the mill by force, and that such
sentiments as the defendants coun-
sci had advanced were anarchistic
and would not be listened to in the
court.
1t is refreshing to hear this robust
and wholesome common sense from
the bench, agreeing, as it does, with
the wise exposition OF the law which.
Chief Justice Paxscn of that State,
laid down some months ago. The
attempts to excuse the murders and
outrages by the Ho~- stead rioters
on the GROUND that the Plnkerton
men Were 'provocation" to them
apd that the Pinkertons, at any rate,
were more or less deserving of what
they got, shows how large part of
the public mind has been prevented
ON the subject of the rights of capital
and labor.
There has been altogether too
much abuse of the PinkertonS, in
which many men who ought to
know better were induced to Join
last summer in the heat of the dis.
cussion over the Homestead troubles.
When Judge Stowe says that they
went to Homestead on a lawful
errand and that the rioters who
stood in their way had no business
to be there, he only repeats the
opinion OF every fair minded and
cool headed man who has regard
for law, order and personal rights.
To apologize for murders committed
because the "Pinkertons" were the
objects of the murderers' rage is
simply to preach the doctrine OF
anarchy, and the old fashioned vigor
with which Judge Stowe put his foot
down on that assumption in his
court ought to be noted by jurists,
legislators, editors and every one
else who has occasion to act upon
or discuss the Pinkerton question or
questions like it.

THE GOVERNORS TAX con-
GRESSs

"Let her alone, 1t aMnSeS her and
doesn't hurt me-" was the considerate
protest of the philosophic husband
while being thrashed by his irate wife.
the wise Injunction of the domestic
philosopher, seems equally applicable
to Governor Brown and his Tax Con-
gress-"Let him alone, it amuses him
as 70eH as 0therS-and don't hurt
any6oay."
Besides, it does good to bring people
together occasionally, especially repre-
sentative CD people, even if it doesn' /
result in any public good, and whom
the Governor with his well known spirit
of Maryland hospitality, assures it shall
cost nothing. Travelling expenses and
hotel bills, writes the Governor, are to
be paid by voluntary contributions"
on the part of representative citizens OF
the State.
What does this mean?
At the expense of what class of
representative CD people is the Con
gress to be held2
A man may be big enough in his
county to be called a representative of
it in this Congress, but will he be
representative enough to put his hand
in his pocket and help pay some other
representative fellows hotel bill and
travelling expepses2
With all due respect for the repre-
sentative gentlemen selected from Cecil,
we do not think they belong to that
class.
But can it be, that the representative
citizens whom the Governor expects to
help pay hotel bills and travelling ex.
penses of his Congress are of the tax
dodger CLASP
This class OF representative men pat
him on the shoulder, and tell him he is
the best Governor Maryland ever had,
because he vetoed the Hayes assess
ment bill.
Is the Governor making himself
strong With .h:em, to have them again
prove his veto of similar bill, which
in all probability the next Legislature
OF Maryland will aga in pass1
We shall see.
