DELUsIvE PROMISES.

Some of the Democratic senators are
holding forth the pleasing promise that
the tariff bill shall come to a vote this
week. Others say the beginning of the
end will come some time next week.
Would that there were indications of
fulfillment of these promises, but the
evidences are lacking, more's the pity.
In the first place, the Republican sena-
tors are not going to let the wooden
schedule escape without a hot debate
The republican senatnrs of the west are
anxious to place themselves on record in
that matter and il is predicted that the
filing of their protests will consume four
OF five days. Then there is the income
tax. That appendage-a sort of legisla-
tive vermiform appendix. by the way
will be fought not only by the RepHbli
cans but by Senator Hill. Then comes
the free list, over which there will nee
essarly be an unsconscionable amount
of clubbing.
After all is said and done the bill must
go back to the house and many of the
senate amendments will meet with
fierce opposition there. The sugar deal.
for one thing will be vigorously fought
by Democratic members. 1t would be a
pleasant hope that the tariff could be
put out of the way, even though the bill
be an Objectionable one-by the first Of
July, but despite the predictions of sena-
tors there is little prospect of the fulfill
nent of that hope. The Democratic
majority seems bent on deferring as long
as possible return TO stable business
conditions. While engaged in postpon-
ing the return Of prosperity it is rushing
its own party to that grave so eloquent
ly pictured two years ago by Henry
Watterson. Was ever such political
hari-kari witnessed in this country

THE great coal strike has ended IN a
ence Of the committees of the operators
and miners at Columbus last night. II
was full time. The long continuance Of
the strike had already resulted in ser
ious curtailment of the industries of the
country. and had greatly aggravated the
existing trade depression. But its worst
evil was not that it unsettled business
For it had assumed forms which threat
ened'to uusettle the foundations Of civil
government. The strike had become
an insurrection. At every step of its
progress it was marked by an eruption
Of crime and blood and lawless violence
which had forfeited for the strikers all
The public sympathy which was with
Them al the outset on the question Of
wages. The strikers had put themselves
50 far and 50 horribly in the wrong that
they had virtually arrayed against them
all the forces Of public order and civil
government. II was probably the con-
sciousness Of this on the part Of their
leaders which led them to accept terms
OF compromise much below their original
demands. But it was, perhaps. one Of
the painful experiences which must be
passed through in the conflict between
labor and capital before some method
of adjusting their differences is reached
on basis Of reason and iustIce.-Pio-
