The People Have Decreed 1t and Prospect
ty Demands 1t.
The benefciaries Of protection and
their attorneys are employing every ar
gument and artifce at their command
to prevent, Or at least to postpone, such
a revision Of the tariff as the people have
commissioned the Democratic party to
make. This, they tell us, is not the time
for radical changes in the tariff. There
is monetary crisis Of considerable Sc
verify, and nothing should be done until
confidence returns and the country is
again in full tide of prosperity.
Ex-Secretary Foster would have con-
gross deliberately resolve not to touch
the tariff at all, and so put the benef-
Charles entirely at their ease. Rafael H.
Wolff In The Forum recommends revi-
sion by commission Of business men and
two or three congressman. Perceiving
the futility of Fosters plan for defeating
revision, he suggests the dilatory meth
cd of accomplishing the same object
Still others are trying to browbeat and
intimidate congress and the majority of
the people, who have given the Demo-
Gratis control Of congress.
It is natural enough that those whom
the Republican party has been rearing
on the government bottle should make
loud protest when it comes to weaving.
But they may as we'll understand that
they are wasting their breath. The Deme-
cratic party has promised to revise the
tariff In the interest not of its friends,
but of it's victims. It has been placed
by the people in control of the legisla-
tive and executive branches of the gov
eminent for the purpose Of making such
a revision, and it is to be hoped that it is
going to keep it's promise. The people
have grown tired of contributing to the
enrichment of handful of captains of
labor" They have demanded that the
exactions shall cease, and if Democratic
congressman do not heed the demand
they will be called to a severe reckoning
by their constituents.
This is just the time to destroy pro-
tectionism, because the people have de-
creed it and because solid and permanent
prosperity will never be realized until
the huge tariff load has been lifted from
the industries of the country. This is q
time for courageous action, not for
cowardice. Postponement would be fatal
to tho Democratic party. Prompt and
brave action will give it a long lease Of
power. There never will be better time
for action. If congress waits for pros
penty, the cry will be ''Let well enough
alone,D and that will be no less potent
than the present cry of let too bad alone.
The work Of revision must begin with
out further waste Of time.-Chicago
Herald.

Monopoly Dies Hard.

Monopolists have feathered their nests
for the past four years by specializing
upon purchased legislation. They have
set up wall of despair over the prob
able fact that their race is nearly run.
Many Of them have closed their money
bags from from pure cussedness. Others
have been monkeying with the business
interests of the country for purely polit-
ical purposes. Monopoly dies hard, but
it will no longer rule this country if the
coming session of congress performs its
duty and starts off with little legisla-
ton for the benefit of the common peo~
pie, which will be novelty we have
not seen of late.-Cayuga Chief.

DIR. McGlynn in Retreat.

Notwithstanding the many assertions
that the Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn has
sailed for Rome in apocryphal steamers,
it is said by some of his closest friends
that he is in retreat in the Trappist Mon
astery near Lexington, KY, and that he
will probably stay there in religious re-
treat all the summer.
DIR. McGlynn, in many of his Cooper
Union lectures, declared he would never
go to Rome in sackcloth and ashes, and it
is said that the retreat is, or is in the ma
ture Of, a compromise suggested by Mgr
Satolh and agreed to by DR.. McGlynn
after consultation with his friends. After
the retreat he will have been purged, and
then he may 60 to Rome, not as peni-
tent seeking forgiveness, but as priest
with all his rights. and in position to
visit the Vatican just as Archbishop Cor
rigan or Mgr. Preston.
Father 4. NJ. Porcile, pastor Of the
Church of St. Francis de Sales on Broad
way, Brooklyn, is decidedly of opinion
that Dr.. McGlynn is in retreat, and that
in all probability such retreat is in the
Trappist Monastery near Lexington, KY.

FORD TnEATER DISASTER.

New Inquest Started-The Jury and
Coroner Visit the Cemetery.
WASHINGTON, June IA new in
quest was started to-day in the Ford
Theater disaster. The old jury was sum
moned, and they with the Coroner went
TO the cemetery and viewed the body of
Frederick LOTUS.
James L. Parsons testified that he sub
mitted bid for the work, but failed to
got the contract. When the witness ex-
amined the building in May he found no
evidences of unsafe condition. Witness
stated that the work could have been
completed in safety had all the floors
been shored up. Witness did not con-
slider the work properly done.
The specifications for the work were
read, and at the clause the contractor
shall be liable for all damage done to the
building" there was a murmur Of disap-
prevail.
Colonel Ainsworth addressed a letter
TO Coroner Patterson to-day, complaining
that the jury was prejudiced against him
by the testimony of disatfected clerks
and the riotous proceedings of the pre-
vious illegal inquiry, and urging his
right to be present by counsel and to
cross-examine. Coroner Patterson re-
fused the request.
Edward Clark, the Capitol architect.
made an examination Of the building in
1865 and lSSS. and thought it safe. but
would not have undertaken the work
without snoring.
Thomas B, Entwistle, District Building
INSPECTOR, found the floors and walls per
fectly safe five years ago, but considered
the disaster due TO no snoring.
Francis Sasse, the Building Engineer,
who made the specifications for the cleo
trio light plant, testified that he had no
building experience except in construct
ing a seven-room dwelling and an arch
vvav. As far as he knew there was no
suDerintendent of the work, but Colonel
Ainsworth visited the building nearly
every day, and witness inspected the ex-

BUFFALO.
They Are Not All Gone-A Few Are
Still Left.

SUN 1SlIs
Professor Hornaday, the naturalist. es-
tlmated the number of the animals run-
nlng WIG at the beginning of the wear
1881 at 900, and this Is certainly a liberal
estimate. About fifty are known to be in
Colorado, where in October, 1891, ranch
man, tor whom justice still calls in vain.
is known to have killed five. In 1850 the
State Legislature Of Colorado enacted a
law providing severe penalties for any
one who should kill buffalo before the
year 1900. The State Game Warden re-
Gently made an effort to bring the indi-
vlduaI who admitted that he had killed
five of the animals to justice, but he
could ind no one who would testify
against HIM" These Colorado buffalo
are said to be in four "bunches"-one in
Middle Park. one in the Kenosha rance
(the herd numbering perhaps twenty.
ten or h1teen are at Hahn'S Peak in Routt
County, and the remainder at Dolores.
on the James River, in North Dakota
and south and west of jamestown there
are four or five animals, all that are left
OF the little nerd which made its last
stand near Fort TOtten. Manitoba is said
to contain a small herd, but as quite a
number OF animals were recently shiDped
from Winnipeg to Garden CITY. Kas..
where Buffalo Jones has gathered a
considerable number, and is endeavor-
ing, with some measure of success. to in
crease them by breeding, it may be that
this Manitoba herd has been counted
twice.
The Yellow Stone National Park con-
tains large herd-the largest, perhaps,
IN existence anywhere-and they are said
to be slowly increasing in numbers.
FOrty-seven buffalo are owned bv C.
Allard, rancher in the Flathead coun-
try, on Cow Greek, Montana. These an
itnals are herded with the domestic cattle.
Here and there throughout the country,
in parks or geological gardens, a few are
to be found. These are all that remain OF

Judge Sneed of Memphis to Succeed
Blount at Honolulu.
WASHINGTON, June l5.-It is reported
that President Cleveland has decided
upon successor to MIR. Blount at Homo
lulu. Blount has repeatedly asked to be
relieved. Rumor has it that Judge Sneed
of Memphis is the man selected for the
post, doubly important in view of the
grave questions that may arise within the
next three years. Judge Sneed is one OF
the ablest lawyers of the Tennessee bar,
having for many years been member OF
the Supreme Court. He enjoys lucra-
tive law practice before the State and
United States Supreme Courts, and is re-
garded as one Of the best constitutional
lawyers in the country. He is an expert
linguist, a profound thinker and scholar,
and as an orator he has few equals.

AT THE FAIR.
This is the story of Scene in Midway
PIaisance at the Worlds Fair.


Plalsance at the Worlds Fair.
"Oh. girls! If your father was only
here! How he would enjoy"
Just then she saw the harem. She drew
herself back with jerk, with her enthu-
siasm broken off in the middle. She took
one more look and said
Turn right around, girls. Immediately.
We will go the other way"
The girls said: No, no. mother; we
want to see these people,
Girls, come here" said the mother
almost with a stamp of her foot, have
Won lost all sense Of modesty?"
I'VE will come in just a minute,
mother, dear"
"Girls! ]"
"Yes, ma" and the girls took a final
look at the harem, smiled at the women,
sort of winked at each other, and then
drew their faces down to the length
which showed their mother that they bad
been properly Mortified.
The next time I met them they were
coming out of the German village gar
den. The girls were coGvulsed with
laughter. One OF them said:
well, mother, we got a glass of beer
down you anyway. All you need is a
little experience and you viii be one OF
the boys yet-just as much as papa and
we are I am going to write to papa
all about ii when we return to the hotel y
The mother did not smile. She said
severely:
Now, girls. if you tell your father that
took glass of beer I will never forgive
you. 1t was not beer, it was Edelweiss
the man said so. 1t was very different
from beer.n
How do you know it is different ?''
81 know it because it did not fiddle
me. and beer would"
'Just the same, ma, that was beer. anC
you can't say anything more about pap;
and us drinking it,
