The Coming Issue.

1t Is now all but certain that the
Democracy win have clear majority
of the next United States senate, thus
giving them both branches, and With
the executive, full control of the law
making power. This is condition
which has not existed since 1861, and
it is one which imposes immense re.
sponsibility on the dominant party.
In the midst of the natural gossip
relative to the management of the
ship Of state, there has been colnpar-
atively little discussion Of the issues
upon which the great political change
was wrought. Manifestly this i'm.
portant subject will very soon after
Mr. Cleveland's Inauguration press
forward for consideration. 1t Is al
ready receiving attention in the selec-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland's constitutional
advisers. The Secretary Of the
Treasury will have much to do with
the tariff, and the Secretary Of State
gill necessarily be in touch with the
presidents policy relative to recipro-
cal trade relations.
The reconstruction of the tariff will
be the chief concern of the new adj
ministration, and the people, partlcu-
larry the people of the west and south,
are eager for it. We do not mean
that that they insist on an extra
session of congress 20 take up tins
topic immediately, but that they ex-
pect the machinery of reform to be
put in motion as soon as it can be
done decently and in order. Two OF
the peoples champions in the senate,
whose voices were heard in times past
laundering against the iniquities Of
the Mckinley blll-we mean Plumb
and Gibson-haye been called to their
fathers, and there have been changes in
the house, but the Democracy as repre-
scented in the Fifty-Third congress will
be well equipped for the battle royal
when it opens. There will be Vest.
Mills. Palmer, Voorhees,, Turpie, Hill,
Mcpherson, Vance, Faulkner and
Villas among the debaters in the SEN
ate, and scores Of representatives 10
the house like the Breckinridges.
Crisp, Springer, Mcmillan, Bynum,
Cochran, Fellows, Harter, Allen,
Dockery and Bland.
1t will be privilege Of the Demo
Gratis in congress to show that their
party does not demand or desire free
trade, out a substantial reduction of
the exorbitant taxes the country {.
now compelled to pay to build up
monopolies in one section'of the land,
and which are enormously profitable,
~ the cost Of all other sections. In.

About Petitions For Office.

One of the handiest things some
men carry with them these winter
days is petition praying for fed
eral appointment. Some are long
aud some are short, according to the
number of John Smiths in the CON-
munity. OF course erybody knows
the longer the better. The more
paper used the more the petition will
bring at the paper mill as waste paper
Train loads of these will 90 into
Washington next month. Every de-
partment will be filed with them.
The heads of departments will read
all of them carefully and pass upon
their merits according to the number
of the names of John Smiths upon
them The heads of the departments
are supposed to know personally all
the John Smiths in the land. They
know their influence and standing at
home, so the more the names of John
Smiths attached to a petition the
better the chance OF the petitioner.
The appointing power will have
nothing else to do but read these
petitions; they make interesting read
ing. They are so euloglstic, you
know. There is nothing boring about
them, not one Of them. Every one
should have precedence for consider
alton over every other one. They are all
good, weighty and convincing There
is nothing prosy about any of them.
and, to be serious, there are no flies
on them. Then the more paper you
use the more you do for the waste
paper gatherers at Washington, and
the more names of Smiths you get
the more you convince the depart
ment Of your industry and enterprise.
Then to be sure of an office get up
something in length that will do to
go on exhibition at the Worlds Fair
at Chicago That will catch them.
The News is proud that none Of
it's BIackfoOt readers are engaged IN
this enterprise and industry. 1t ought
to be plain to every body that appoint
.nents are not made on the number Of
names on a petition. The heads Of
departments have better methods of
ascertalning who should be given the
appointment. They know how to
discriminate between the worthy and
unworthy better than that Not one
man in twenty reads such petition
when presented to him for signature,
then how can one appointing power
be expected to read thousand and
all the names of Smiths attached.
Let this boring business of mile.
long petitions be reIegated to the
chambers reserved for relics of bar.
barlsm, and let the man wanting an
office apply for it intelligently, and
show his fitness by his intelligent
application.

SPEAKER MILLER's discourteous
treatment of Mrs. Mitchell, State Or.

House Of Representatives a few days

brave and gallant men never offer in

MUTUAL COMES IN SIGHT
The tug w j. McCaldin captured one Of Peixoto's
war vessels yesterday morning In the early dawn.
The tug was on her way out OF the harbor to look
for ships that wanted a tow or anything else that
might turn up In the way OF profit but most
peaceably inclined and not at all bound for war
like deeds. Just below Governors Island the cap
tain OF the McCaldr Misunderstanding craft
noailng about Things were just beginning TO be
visible aud over TO starboard he saw the Nictheroy
bristling with Junk
Al once he thought This is some strange crait
that Melo has sent to blow up the newmade
cruiser"
IL WAS O'Clock and all the east was flushing

shouting to her. Tut no reply came.

shine on her Hotchkss gun. and cried out. Turn

Then he the Mutual rival tug coming
down toward the strange craft That was enough.
and he resolved that. guns or no guns he would
take that torpedo-joat. SO he laid alongside and
boarded her.
1t was an anxious moment the crew OF the

returning the boat.
IL seems that the torpedo boat was non taken on

rANPERIyG WITH THE COrGHLIy JURY.

Chicago. Nov 9.-There has been a suspicion
in the minds of the attorneys for the State for
several days that attempt was being made
nv the na-Gae friends Of Daniel Coushlin
TO get at least one the jury who would
play the part which Culver did AT the first trial or
worse This suspicion was founded on the recept
of warning letters, some definite and worthy OF
consideration others vague and insignificant out
all coming from sources which made IL impossible
for States Attorney Kern to believe they were
bogus or the result OF collusion. The appearance
OF two saloonkeepers hast week as ven'remen ana
the character and history of many others rejected
tended to strengthen this suspicion The state
Attorney expressed his opinion that the ist or
veniremen could be decidedly improved on. nut ne
had no specific evidence upon which 10 base any
charges. When Judge Tuthilrs court , was opensa S
this morning a consultation was held Tor twenty
minutes between the judges and lawyers on botn
sides In regard to suspected veniremen. The result
was quickly apparent when the examination OF the
venremen was resumed One OF the four VINO

discharged employe of the Adams 4 Westaks
Company. The prosecution learned that he had
been approached by members OF Camp ~ since

cused by agreement of court and counsel ana no
questions asked. Then the examination was
resumed by Attorney Bottum who got rid OK

WHAT RIO JANEIRO NEWSPAPER SAYS OF THE
EE.EL ADMIRAI.s MANIFESTO.
The steamers which arrived here from Rio on Sun
day brought the first mail received from that port
since September 6. and newspapers up to october 70
and through them a correct version or the state Oh
affairs and the sentiment OF the people can be oo-
tained. one private letter says: The Government
is strong and popular but the delay In conquerins
the rebels has paralyzed commerce. and the WORK IN
factories begins to get dsorganized." The same mail
brought remittances. however. and business seems
to 20 on Notwithstanding the disturbances.
On september Mello when he became leader Of
the insurgents published manifesto In which he
posed as a liberatOr. The next day 20 Tempo pub
Iisbed a leader from which the following Is quoted
TO show how the manifesto was received:
