BERLIN, July When the new
reichstag met Friday for the first time.
for the consideration Of regular bust
ness, nearly all the 397 members were
in their places, for 1t was known that
the government would at once intro
duce the amended army bill. and gem
eral interest was felt as TO the conces-
sions, that the government had made
on the original bill
Immediately after the opening Of the
house was concluded, Chancellor yon
Caprivi assembled the tribune, and, in .
long speech, introduced the amended
measure.
He stated that the present form Of
the bill reported the minimum that the
government would accept in men or
money.
The governments demands were the
lowest possible consistent with the
safety Of the empire. The previous
bill had been before parliament and
the country for nine months, and
everybody understood what the gov
eminent wanted. II was, therefore,
needless to repeat the arguments that
had heretofore been advanced in favor
Of the measure.

VIII They swear ?

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Jefiersoniln Democrats of Alaba-
ma have made proposition to the or
ganized Democracy for a reunion. They
are willing to bury the hatchet dug up a
year ago when Captain Kolb was defeat
ed by gross frauds al the primaries and
again in the August election. They offer
terms which appear fair but which can
not be accepted by the organized Democ-
racy. They demand elections nsunclouded
by fraud and untainted by corruption.
They also demand that every inspector
and clerk Of election shall subscribe to
the following oath, which shall be adj
ministered by an officer Of the State:
do solemnly swear that I will con-
duct this election fairly and honestly
that l will honestly count and correct
return make of the number of votes cast
for each candidate respectively as herein
provided, so help me God.
This seems a very simple requirement
to men who are accustomed to take such
oaths before assuming the duties Of an
election Judge or clerk, but it Is not a
simple matter in Alabama. The South
ern Democrat considers it no crime TO
steal an election, but he does consider it
beneath him to peIiure himself, and this
oath would compel every election Judge
in the State Of Alabama to commit per
jury. They know that they cannot have
honest elections and Democratic rule at
the same time. They are determined 10
have Democratic rule. The papers rep
resenting the organized Democracy,
therefore, protest against this pledge Of
honest elections and this oath that iudg-
es will make honest returns. They viii
not accept it even to bring back the jeff
ersonisn Democrats and make q white
mans party.
There has not been an honest election
or a fair count in Alabama since the Dem
ocrsts recaptured the State in 1871. They
do not claim that their elections are
honest. They frankly admit that they
count the negro vote te suit their own
interests. There are many counties
where the negroes are in the majority,
and in the whole State there are only
about 25,0O0 more white voters than
black. With probably $1,000 or 10000
wi.ite Republicans in the State the Dem
ocrats must steal the elections and. they
do it without scruple. But they do not
propose TO peTjure themselves, and it Is
asking entirely too much for them to take
an oath TO do what they viii not do and
cannot do. The Jeffersonian Democrats
viii have to strike out the oata before
they can get the organized democracy to
accept its proposition, bury the hatchet,
and have united Democratic party in
Alaharna

He Wears los RattIesnakes.

OIL Cry, June 2-Rattlesnake Pete's suit
of clothes, which has been The subject Of
more newspaper comment than any suit Of
mems wearing apparel since Oscar Wilde
and his knickerbOckers were flashed upon
the public, were finished by A. c. Fleiseh-
man last night, and formed part Of Pete's
wardrobe that left with him on the early
morning train for Rochester, y. Y, where
he viii locate permanently. The suit, as
completed, consists Of a double-breasted
sack coat and trousers made Of rattlesnake
skins, so arranged that the yellow and black
stripes form peculiarly pleasing effect. It
took the owner Of the suit four years to
gather the skins Of the right texture, and
over 400 feet of snake skins were required.
One hundred and twenty five snakes, not
one Of them less than four feet long, gave
up their lives to form this suit.
In selecting the skins, Pete took some Of
the most healthy and brilliant specimens,
killing them by severing the backbone close
to the head, and skinning the reptile in the
same manner in which an eel is skinned.
The skins were tanned with saltwater and
alum and were finished with linseed oil,
ma king them as pliable as kid, retaining the
natural brilliancy of the skin and making
the garment perfectly waterproof The but
tons of the coat number eight. They are
ratilesnake heads with filling of plaster of
paris, fitted with artificial eyes and mount
ed with gold. The tailor has been working
on the suit since last November, the length
of time required was on account Of the de-
lay of securing skins of the proper color for
the sleeves TO match the remainder of the
coat

most conservative policy. Notwithstand-
ing this depressing state Of affairs, the
President goes a fishing, the heads Of de-
partments devote themselves exclusively
10 hunting out offensive Republican
partisAus.D and Democratic statesmen
wrangIe over proposed policies to be
adopted for the future control Of nation
al affairs.
This state Of uncertainty and business
restlessness is bound 10 continue until
the coming Congress has assembled and
taken definite action affecting the busi-
ness interests Of the country. Pending
a settled policy by actual legislation, the
country viii continue in condition Of
unrest, values will be unsettled, and busi-
ness Of every kind will suffer. 1t is now
announced that the President win not
convene Congress before the first Of Sep
tember; months must elapse before any
definite legislation can be perfected, and
meanwhile the country must drift along
awaiting developments. The prudent
man will take in sail, the capitalist viii
lock up his Golfers, the workingman viii
find restricted employment, and the
manufacturers viii watch and wait.
The outlook IS anything but pleasant
or encouraging, but such is our view Of
1t at the present time.

It Means Ropbery Ether va.

Certain newspapers that are anxious to
pose as the special orgens Of the Admins
tration are engaged in denying with great
display Of vchemence the statement that
President Cleveland has decided TO recon-
mend an income tax in his message 70 Con
gress. Il Is noticeable ihsi these Journals,
Eith all their noise and blusier, DO not dare
to announce positively that no income tax
viii be enacted. Their utterances amount
70 no more than the assertion that, while
the President is considering the project Of
a tax on thrif and industry, he has not yet
definitely committed himself to the
scheme.
Wholesale preyarication and boastfal
talk by Democratic newspapers cannot OBJ
scure the facts. The Democratic party has
promised TO reform the tariff by abolish
ing protection. The expenses Of the gov
eminent must be provided for. The asser-
ton that federal expenditures can be reduc-
ed 10 any considerable extent is demagogic
nonsense. Nearly i've hundred millions Of
dollars a year must be raised or the govern
ment Of the United States viii hsve-to sus-
pend its functions II the Democratic par
ty carries out its pledges it must tax the
earnings Of the people. This can be done
either by direct tax on incomes or By tax
ing the workingmsn's breakfast table. Both
these schemes are British ike free trade.
Both are odious and oppressive. Both are
sure 10 be indignantly resented and resisted
by the American people. But one or the
other must be adopted in order 10 raise rev
enue when protection is struck out Of the
tariff and European manufactured goods ad-
mitted free, or at low rates Of duty.
The Democratic programme means rob
berry aud oonfscation. Free trade viii first
diminish the earnings Of the people and
then snatch part Of the remainder to pro-
vide for the necessary expenses Of the gov
eminent Under a revenue tariff the
taxed income or the taxed breakfast table
is inevitable " J. Press.
