THE TARIFF BILL IN THE
SENATE.

Mr.. Voorhees,, chairman of the senate
committee OH finance, who will have
charge of the Wilson bill in the senate,
begin about the 1st of March. and vote
be taken about the middle of April.
Six or seven weeks time is, to say the
least, liberal allowance. Reckoning
thirty-six working days, and eight
hours as days work, it will appear
that there will be 2SS hours which can
be devoted to the measure. This would
give each senator three hours in which
to express his opinions of the measure,
and leave twenty -four hours for roll
calls and other necessary Interruptions
of the flow of eloquence.
1t is very manifest that, the senate
does not propose to hasten action on
the pending measure. 1t is of no concern
to the members of that body that the
business of the country is waiting upon
its action. 1t makes no difference that
there are million of men out of en-
ployment and two hundred thousand
families on the verge of starvation be-
cause of the unsettled condition of bust
ness due to the tendency of the tariff
bill. 1t would be undignified for the
senators to bestir themselves and dis
play little energy and common sense
expedition in the dispatch of business.
The small men who compose that great
body seem to think it adds to their Dig
nifty to constantly assert ito keep the
people constantly waiting in their ante
room until IL suits their pleasure to
admit them. They will discover their
mistake before long, for the people are
becoming disguised with their conduct.
and impatient of their assertions of SUI
periority.
There is no good reason why action
on the tariff bill should be delayed more
than two weeks. Its merits and de-
merits have been fully discussed in the
house and in the newspapers, and the
senators. learned though they may be,
cannot add a single argument on one
side or the other. Their discussions,
even though they be prolonged to the
crack OF doom, cannot change the opin-
ons of single individual, or make the
worse appear the better cause. If the
senators are wise. therefore, they will
not waste time in profitless debate.
They cannot hope to defeat the meas.
ure. They eau only add to the general
distress by delay. Win they decide to
do this in order to assert their dignity
a dignity that is already odious-a stencil
in the nostrils of the people?
1t is not anticipated that the senate
will be influenced by sense of public
duty in this matter. Duty has always
been secondary to self-interest with
them. Under the senatorial code the
country owes everything to the senate /;
the senate is under obligations for
nothing to the country. But, happily.
the people are yet masters. although
under limitations as to the time when
they can assert their mastery. There
will be a day Of reckoning, however,
! when those senators who at time like

DON'T MISS THE POINT.

1t may seem ungracious to do any
thing that may seem like an effort to de-
prive our brethren of the faith paternal
Of even the grain of comfort they would
extract from the two bye elections in
New ork for congressman. While we
commiSerate their condition and are
sorry for the upsetting of their fond ex-
pectations of discord in our party
which would defeat the Wilson bill and
thus substaptiate their vociferous claim
of Democratic incapacity to even unite
in support of a policy, we must insist
On what is the only real significance of
those two elections.
Just as the one complaint which
makes life a burden to the afflicted per-
son is the thing of most absorbing ill.,
tarest to him; just as The occupation to
which one devotes his energies is to
him the only vocation worth noticing in
the world, and just as both may dis
cover with surprise that there are
other complaints and other vocations in
which others find themselves similarly
absorbed, so it is that politicians and
political editors get SO absorbed in their
work that they imagine that all other
people are similarly enwrapped in it.
1t needs just such incidents as these
bye elections, occurring when there is
no universal rush for the hog trough, as
Alexander Stephens characterized our
general elections, to show these editors
and politicians that, while they are
fencing and thrusting and parrying as
If the life of the nation depended on
them, the mass of the people are en-
gagged in their ordinary pursuits, and so
busily at work in them that an election
is an unimportant matter that is hardly
worth going TO. 1t may be rough on
the editors and the politicians, but it is
fact which it is just as we'll 10 sense.
But under and over and all around
the learned diagnoses or the erudite edi-
tors who have constituted themselves a
jury to sit on these elections and give
their verdict of how it happened, what
caused it, and who the guilty party is,
stands out the significant fact that all

the Democratic times" the paralyzed
industries. the army of the unemployed,
the Wanton trifling with the vital inter-

ence to the poor workingman. and all
these lamentations with which the Re-
publican press has sought to retrieve
their lost cause, has produ ced abso-
lutely no feeling of alarm. The shallow
waters have been dashed to foam, but
the deep waters are tranquil.
These latest calamity howlers' have
asseverated in and out of season, ever
since the financial gale struck the coun-

of administrations in 1892; that 1t was

APPLETON, Wis. Feb. 6-Prof Sims,

charge of libel. preferred by Peter
Reuter-, mayor of Kaukauna. Sims left
Oshkosh this evening with delegation
of $50 of Oshkosh A. P. AS in two cars
on the Northwestern railway. They
had with them baud of music. and
the programme was to reach Kaukauna
at $50. march through the streets. and
Sims was to deliver a lecture.
Such proceedings would undoubtedly
have precipitated bloody riot,

religious bigotry. 70 prevent Sims

of the Outagamni circuit court. The
sheriff also swore in twenty-five depu-

should escape arrest and reach kau-
kauna. He served warrant on Sims
as he came through Appleton, and took
him from the train. The A. P. A. dele
CATION, $50 strong, headed by the band,
followed through the streets. Sims was
taken before Court Commissioner Sam
uel Boyd, and bond was given i'll the
sum of $4,000 for his appearance
Large crowds had gathered at
the depot, and when Sims was
taken from the train considerable eX-
element ensued. He made no resist
ance, nor did his party, out he insisted
upon the warrant being read to him.
By this proceeding the train was de-
layed fifteen minutes. During the eX-
element one stone was thrown through
car window, and inflicted a scalp
wound upon an unknown passenger.
No other demonstrations were made
except hootings. Sims was taken be-
fore Judge Boyd and the bail fixed at
$4,000, which was furnished at 9 p. III.
Meantime the last train for kaukauna
had left, and a special engine which
was to take the coaches dropped off the
regular train was no longer available,
rendering it impossible for Sims TO
speak there tonight. While waiting
for the Judge to return. a crowd
of a thousand persons gathered outside
the office and were entertained by The
band. The best of order prevailed.
After Sims was released the crowd dis
persed quietly. and he and his followers
returned to Oshkosh OH the midnight

was charged in the complaint is state

papers, to the effect that on the occasion

OF the panic. 1t was simply want of

was emphatic in his denunclation Of

against a per capita basis for money

position to the issue of bonds, and said
that perpetual bonded debt is the OBJ
