1t may be necessary to weed these out,

The free-trade orators told the men
with "the little tin dinner pail" that
they "were oppressed by protection" "
When the ghost of free-trade and
tariff reform can bring about such
changes as workingmen now expert

If Democratic leaders had shot
bombs squarely into the ranks of the
millions of toilers in the land it could
not more successfully have awakened
them to real Dem ocratic conditions
than it has. If the election of No
vember, 1892, could be held in Novem
ber, 1898, Grover Cleveland would
not carry state north of Mason and
Dixon's line.
A Democratic organ piteously asks:
"What do Republicans want of con-
gressp They have already and many
times stated: Repeal the purchasing
clause of the silver bill; say they
won't touch the tariff with ten-foot
pole. Adjourn and 60 home. Pros

Cleveland's administration would not

The Chinese must go, the president
says, and the deportation will begin
soon. This will be great hardship

declared constitutional, and its en-
forcement is the only way to make Its
repeal possible.
Senator Voorhees, says: eff we
turn our backs on such men as Grover
Cleveland and John G. Carlisle-God
help the Democratic party and the
country if such stupendous mistake
is to take place" Well, the vote
shows that lot of Democrats "turned
their backs" The attitude of the Re-
publican column was the only thing
that saved the president and his sec
retary. There is no way of getting
around that fact.
The last reading of the Irish home
rule bill is now before the British par
lament, and will be pressed to an early
vote. 1t will pass the house of com
mons, but will be defeated in the
house of lords. The British people
are thoroughly awakened on the sub
ject of advancement in the govern
ment IN the direction of universal
freedom and the Norman house of
lords, if an impedlment, will be re-
moved. Englishmen were never
known to recede from any movement
they make.
The wise senators who constitute
the upper house of congress are i'm
pervious to criticism by the people,
and continue to discuss questions
while the business of the cou untry is
going from worse to worse-if that
we're possible. If there is any remedy
IN legislation for the financial depres-
zion now being suffered in every de-
oartment of trade, it is time that some
action was taken. If these gentlemen

When congress was convened in
special session the message of Presi-
lent Cleveland clearly outlined the
object. The house met and fixed a
'ertain date for a vote, and on that
lay promptly passed the repeal bill;
'ut the senate has vexatiously delayed
Iction. Although under equally
binding obligation to the American
people the members of this august
'ody do not seem to realize their great
responsibility, and waste time that
hould be used in legislation in use
ess debate. There is growing sentl-
nent in this country in favor of the
American house of commons and |
.galnst the senate, which has been
tyled the American house of lords.
