The Dynamite Outrage In Paris; Politi-
cal and International Effects,

The dynamite bomb which wrought such
havoc in the French Chamber OF Deputies.
has had results the very opposite to those
which the miscreant who threw 1t must be
supposed to have had in view Instead of
terrorizing and weakening that party In the
Legislature which Is the avowed upholder
or the existing order. the outrage has i'm
mensely strengthened it. and will probably
cause France to join the other powers of
the Continent In concerted measures for the
detection and extirpation OF Anarchists.
Before the bomb exploded on Saturday
In the legislative chamber. tho Ministry
formed by NJ. CAsIMIR-PERIER could look
forward 10 only a short lease OF life. On
two critical divisions it had escaped defeat
by majority OF less than forty, and its OPP
ponents We're counting upon success In con-
nection with an Interpolation OF which no.
tice had been given for Monday OF this
week. That Interpolation arraigned the
Government for using the military to sup
press disorder at the scenes OF the recent
strikes, but. when Monday came. the mover
did not even venture TO call up the matter,
for II was plain that the temper Of the
Chamber had Undergone an extraordinary
change. The majority behind the Ministry
had suddenly risen from lees than forty to
about three hundred. so enormous was the
preponderance OF feeling in favor OF a law
which would stite the Anarchist press, and
severely punish the authors OF articles in
citing to pillage. arson. and murder. A
bill to that end was passed without even be-
ing read, only the substance OF It being
stated by the Prime Minister. No more
conclusive proof could be furnished OF the
extent and depth OF the conviction that the
dangers with which society is menaced, re-
Guire to he promptly and vigorously dealt
with. This first bill which was at once for
warded to the Senate, is to be followed by
three other measures regulating the posses
sion OF chemicals used in the manufacture
of explosives. increasing the numbers and
the pay OF the police. and giving them SUI
peryision over anarchistic societies, which
are to be placed in the same category as as
sociations Of undisguised lawbreakers.
1t does not appear that the French Minis
try contemplate any unreasonable restric-
ton OF the liberty Of the press. The pro-
posed law. which was so summarily carried
through the Chamber OF Deputies on Mon
day. does not prohibit the advocacy OF So
cialistic doctrines; it simply forbids inclte-
ments to acts Of violence and the Rlorifca-
ton OF crime. That some measure Of the
kind Is needed seems evident from the fact
that the atrOcity perPetrated by the bomb
thrower. NAILLANT. on Saturday. has been
applNuded at anRrchistic meetings and
justified in anarchistie newspapers. II
would be ridiculous to contend that the |
liberty OF the press implies license 10 !

WILSON now proposes to keep the duty on
champagne at the high MCKINLEY level.

Champagne is a luxury and a perfect
subject for a revenue tariff. from any point
of view. and In the light OF any theory OF
taxation. simple or scientific.
Under the old Republican tAritf OF 1883,
the duty on champagne was seven dollars
q dozen quarts. Previously to 1888 the duty
had been six dollars. To protect and en-
courage the Californians and other Ameri-
can producers OF sparkling wines. Major Mo
KNLEY showed the duty up to eight dollars.

was legitimate. even though the consump-
tlon OF imported champagne was dimin-
tshed. and revenue sacrificed thereby.

revision undertaken before the Democratic
party had declared that all protection is
unconstitutional. proposed TO increase the
revenue by putting the champagne duty
back to seven dollars. The MILLS bill failed

How VIII They Get Out Of TT

It lie Q condition, not theory. that blocks
Mr. CLKvELAND's policy In Hawaii and puts
him In quandsry. The theory is that the
most appropriate duty for an American
President Is to restore a brokeD-down pa.
gan throne. and prop 1t up and guard II
with American bayonets. The condition Is
that local government cannot DO admin
istered from Washington, but must be sup
piled at Honolulu by the very men who are
now In control there and who propose to re-
main In control
The mistake OF Messrs. GRrsHAM and
CLEVELAND was In supposing that they had
only to indicate their desire to restore the
Queen. or to have q vote taken about re-
storing her. and thereupon the Provisional
Government would rush to carry out with
alacrity all the little details required. In
stead OF doing this. the existing Govern
ment proposes to lend mono Of its machin-
cry or Of Its experience In the control OF the
islands to the restoration scheme.
The only resources left to President
CLEVELAND are the navy. Mr.. WILLIS. and
the discarded Queen. But the navy. while
able to land bluejackets and marines for
preserving order. at the request OF the
Hawaiian Government. does not carry on
Governments. As to the American Minis
ter. he would hardly know where to begin
In the business OF setting up a rotten
old throne. Finally. LILIUoKALANI well
understands that for years the practical
machinery OF the Government has been
run by the people who are now against her.
and she very naturally hesitates to assume
the task Of taking charge Of 1t without de-
cided guarantees Of aid and support either
from Mr.. CLEVELAND or somebody else.
No wonder that the conspiracy Of Messrs.
GRESHAM. CLEVELAND. and BLoUNr has
been brought to a standstill. There 10
nobody on the islands who Is at once au-
thorized. able. and willing to carry 1t out.
Even to attempt to carry 1t out creates
virtual protectorate. the very thing for
which this trio denounced Minister STEVENS.
Mr.. CLEVELAND would then unlawfully. and
by force. undertake an Intervention which
the Provisional Government entreated the
United States to exercise lawfully. but on
different terms.
There Is perhaps one other way out OF the
difficulty, The British cruiser Champion
has arrived at Honolulu. and. no doubt.
among the English section OF the foreign
residents who have long controlled the
islands there are men OF intelligence and
business skill sufficient to take the steps
for organizing new government. provided
they have adequate force behind them.
Probably they could do this as well for the
Princess KAIULANI as for the discarded
Queen. But think OF rejecting tho plea Of
Hawaii for admission into the Union. using
our navy to restore monarchy. and finally
adopting q policy which dlscredlts Ameri-
can influence in the islands. and makes that
OF England stronger than everl

seven dollars dozen quarts "ln the interest
Of increased revenue" as he himself ex-
planned in public statement signed by him
self ne Chairman OF the Committee on Ways
and Means, now proposes, after hearing the
protests and complaints OF the domestic
manufacturers affected by the change, to
sacrifice the increased revenue on this inn
ported article OF luxury. and TO keep tho
champagne duty at the high protective
rates established by Major MCKINLEY, the
honest and avowed protectionist.
That Is to say. he deliberately dlscards
his intention TO tax champagne according
TO his idea OF the Democratic principle OF
taxation for revenue only. and deliberately
proposes to follow the wretched culmna-
tor MCKINLEY TO the extreme In robbing
the revenues OF the Government and the
consumers Of imported champagne at the
same time. In order to protect and foster q
single domestic industry In which COM
paratively few citizens are Interested
We take champagne as an illustration.
II Is one OF many at hand, but 1t is perfect
OF It's sort. owing to the character OF the
article as pure luxury and to the distinct
ness OF Professor WILSON'S own recent
statement that to reduce the duty from
eight dollars to seven would increase the
revenues Of the Government.
This is cowardice at the critical moment.
and treachery to the principles on, which
the campaign OF 1892 was fought and won
by the Democracy. MCKINLEY was honest,
and 80 far deserves honor. The Democratic
Committee on Ways and Means. following
