Reform Not to BE Postponed.

Reform Not to BE Postponed.
The Baltimore "Sun" says that the
Republican members of Congress favor
the postponement OF tariff revision as
long as possible, and then adds:
"rhey covertly desire all possible
delay on the tariff bill, so that when en-
acted into law the schedules will be
put into effect simultaneously with the
opening OF the congressional cam
paign OF 1894, when sthe beneticent Ell
fects of a reduced tariff will not have
had fair show. It is only campaign
trick, these dilatory tactics OF the Repub-
licans, which the leading Democrats in
both Senate and House are fully pre-
pared TO meet. They do not propose
that the congressional campaign OF
next year shall be simultaneous with
the experimental stages OF the new
tariff Far fromit. They are earnestly
DESTROYS that the new tariff law should
90 into effect on April 1st if practicable,
certainly not later than May 10TH"
This is sound doctrine and good
party policy. Tariff reform must be the
work of the present Congress.

There are some absurd theories put
forward as to what caused the present
apparent scarcity of money. What
caused it The withdrawal Of their
money by deposltors was tine last efficient
cause. But what caused the depositors
to withdraw their deposits? The fear
that they would not obtain them upon
denand-that is to say, want OF conf
deuce in the ability of the banks to pay
out. Why could not solvent banks stand
u run ? Because the money of the de-
positors had been lent TO their customer,
aud could not be had until the end OF
thirty or sixty or ninety days.

Congressman BRECKENRIDGE is entitled
to manage his case MS he and his lawyers
think proper, but that public which ia
made up largely Of his old friends and
admirers would have preferred to see
instead OF demurrer, complete answer
to Miss PobLARD's bill Of complaint.
Whether the demurrer will be sustained
or overruled is question for the court.
and in the crowded condition OF Its
docket it is said that the case will hardly
be reached for a year. Meantime the
nature Of Colonel BREcKINRIDoE's de-
tense will remain secret, we suppose.

What VIII the Board Do?

Everybody is waiting with anxiety for
the action OF the Board OF Aldermen on
the resolution fixing the price OF gas
for cooking, heating, and power purpOsos
at 70 cents per 1000 feet. There Is much
speculation as to what this branch Of the
Council will do with this paper. Several
members of the Board think II unfair to
charge two prices for the same gas.
At the meeting Of the Common Coun-
ell on Monday night. Mr. CARRIERS resolu-
ton to sell no more gas-house coke. except
that which is given TO the poor, until next
April, was referred to the Committee on
Finance.
Mr.. Mobiles resolution In reference 10
the examination at stated periods OF the
books in the office of the Auditor. Treas
urer. and Collector of Taxes, was referred
TO the FINANCE Committee.

A NIGEL Place to Drill.

The proposed drill-shed for the Howit-
GERS and the cavalry companies, to be
erected between the two armories OF these
organizations, will be great convenience
TO the cannoneers and cavalrymen. Bids
for this shed will be received by the city
Engineer until the evening OF the 18th,
when the Committee on Grounds and
Buildings will award the contract. The
structure VIII have an area OF 15ix110
feet, with a clearance OF l6 feet, enabling
the cavalrymen to ride in with drawn
sabres. The roof will rest on brick piers
with stone caps. and II will be supported
by eleven immense trusses, Is feet
apart, composed of wood and iron.
These trusses will have a clear span Of
l04 feet. and each truss will rise In the
center 20 feet. A large ventilatoT, with
sky-light will secure the necessary fresh
air and light. 1t will run through the
whole length of the building, and viii
be 20 feet wide, with An elevation OF feet.

Although the formal opening of the
Republican campaign in Ohio will not
take place until next Tuesday, Governor
MCKINLEY inaugurated his speech-mak-
ing Tuesday last by an address at South
Salem, in Ross county. He abused the
Democratic party and gave much advice
as TO how business confidence could be
restored. Pretty cool for a man who
has nearly bankrupted the country and
has completely bankrupted himself and
several OF his friends.

Some twenty-four colored hod carriers

were not members OF the Hod

only on yesterday that the latter COM

Straining at n Gnat.

We referred a day or two ago TO the
general outline OF plan o: provid-
ING n new national currency which Sec
rotary CARLISLE aud other leading Demo
Gratis hid been discussing. This discus
sion took place, il was said, in a confer
ence held in Washington city few days
AGO. in which Mr.. CARLISLE, Mr.. WAR
MFR, Mr.. Hall, and others participated.
The most striking features of the pro-
posed scheme are these
First. That the several States are to b.
allowed 10 charter banks Of circulation.
Second. That the Federal Government
l. to prepare and issue TO the new banks
oil the circulating notes which they are
to be permitted to put out.
Third. That every such bank note is to
be as good as gold-that is, must DO re-
deemable in specie at all times.
But now come the men who stick IN
the bark and plead that the Constitution
of the United States does not confer
upon Congress the power thus TO pro-
vide a financial system or banking sys-
tenn for the several States. The consti-
tutional question is always raised by
somebody whenever any beneficial mea-
sure Of reform is proposed. These stick
lers hold that the case is covered by the
constitutional provision which declares
that "tho powers not delegated to the
United States 10y the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are re-
served tothc states respectively or to the
people"
The celebrated greenback case, in
which the Supreme Court Of the United
States held that Congress had power to
make United States treasury notes legal
tender. might be considered as covering
the proposition now under considera-
ton. However, We will pass over that deci-
sion and cite the case Of NEAzE VS.
FESso, in which Chief-Justice CHASE,
giving the opinion OF the court, said
that Congress had the right to establish
system of national currency and TO
suppress all State-bank issues which
came III conflict with that system.
The above citation covers the case
before US, We are inclined to think.
Nevertheless, it may be well to quote
the Supreme Court of the United States
still more fully. Here are the words Of
the Court:
Having thus in the exercise
Of undisputed constitutional pow
ers undertaken to provide n cur
rency for the whole country, it
cannot be questioned that Congress may
constitutionallv secure the benefit Of it
10 the people 10y appropriate legislation.
TO the same end Congress may restrain
by suitable enactments the circulation
as money Of any notes not issued under
Its own authority"
The reported CARLISLE scheme is here
described in advance-long before that
scheme had ever been thought Of. The
State banks chartered under that scheme
would issue notes under the authority
Of Congress.
1t cannot be objected that the
Supreme Court was referring to the
issue of greenbacks when it spoke of
circulating notes issued by Congress
"under its own authority; for the very
question the Supreme Court had before
1t was the power of Congress to tax the
issues OF State banks out of existence.

WASHINGTON was the most distinguished
Free Mason OF his day. he was once
elected, or recommended, for tho posi-
ton OF General Grand Master OF Gen.

but the Statesrights doctrines OF those
