Where Is the Screw Applied?

Tariff Tinker Wilson has insinuated
that wage carriers are being forced to
sign the petitions that are pouring into
congress against his bill of destruction
We are afraid that the coercion screw
applied from the White House to the
chairman of the ways and means com.
mittee must have affected that gentle.
mans ideas of fair play. This is a free
country, and people are not generally
forced to do things against their will.
There are more than 10000, 900 Of PEG
pie who now see things differently to the
smaller number of less than . 600, O0C
with whom the worthy chairman is i'll
the minority. But there are exceptions
to every rule, as the president has fully
proved during the last nine months,
when he 'forced" congress and his ex-
ecutive officials to do his bidding. These
are the only instances of force" that
have been used under the present ad-
ministration, except in the later effort
to thrust upon the country force" bill

is asking if the home of the secretary OF

organizer the city which.gets its mail of a
Republican postmaster, notwithstanding it
has had four prominent Democratic appli-
cants for the office and a host of others
with bees in their bonnets, really has a
Democratic PARTY. Has Hallowell Dem
ocracy: Surely the curiosity is pardonab!e
under the circumstances.
Until this question is answered many
comic ctures will be made. One is that the
Hallowell Democracy has no available can
didates for city offices unless it make use OF
those who are painting for the postoffice as
"the hart pante,h for water" 1t is also
conjectured that, owing to the civil service
reform principles of the Cleveland admins
tration, these candidates do not dare prejl-
dice their chances by taking part in city
politics.
On such grounds, presumably, the Dem
ocratic State organizer has deemed a coali-
ton with the "Prohibitionists" as the only
hone left. 1t is rumored almost to the
point of wall that the "Prohibitionists'
are not iesirous to enter into copartnership
with the Hallowell Democracy. Why, it is
impossible to understand, unless they OBJ

There Is a communication published in an
other column under the head"The Deficiency
Shown" which every taxpayer in Augusta
should read carefully. II is in reply to one
from the city auditor and which was pub
li,hed Saturday morning. We would COM
mend to our readers careful perusal of that
"a we'll. We would have them bear in mind
what the city auditor says about bis "plain
straightforward, coherent statement of the
fact that any person of average intelligence
can clearly understand. We think the tax
payers of Augusta will wonder how from
such lucid statement the New Age ever
came to make such gross errors in esti-
mates as to declare that ''the net unex-
pended balance for the year almost
closed is S26, 435.73.' From what
light the auditor himself throws on his
report in the course of his communication
and from the report itself "Observer" is
able to demonstrate clearly that to meet the
aggregate liabilities of 1874 100000 at the
end of the present municipal year the
Democratic city government will have So

The Democratic party Is giving tne
country very convincing proof of the
wisdom of the Reed rules. For days past
public business has been at stand still
because the votes taken have not shown the
presence of a quorum. Such quorum has
been bodily present in the House, but a
Democratic speaker is not permitted under
the rules now in vogue, to use the evidence
of bis senses and declare the fact. Many
Democrats appreciating the farcical
character of the present situation are
advocating the adoption of the Reed
rules and thereby put the conduct of the
nations business upon a common sense ba-
sis. The majority of that party, however.
can not bring themselves to such wise
course of action. Having denounced the
Reed rules with all the explosives at their
command while the Maine statesman pre-
sided over the deliberations of the national
House, they cannot bring themselves to
endure the humiliation Of endorsing them,
now that the advisabiity Of such action is ap-
parent to every one. 1t was bitter enough
pill for these blatant demagogues. when
the supreme court sustained the Reed rules.
They are therefore determined to avoid, at
all hazards, ex-Speaker Reeds simple
method of counting quorum. Their
course in this matter is a striking example
Of the tenacity with which small and mar
row partisans will stick TO an error. The
efforts that they are making to find some
other way out of their diff ,ulties than the
one which Mr.. Reed used under similar
circumstances, and which is the right one,
are as ingenious as they are amusing
Nearly every morning some Bour-
hon leader comes forward with new
one. and the end is not yet. Never in the
history of the country has political party
been 60 successful in making itself
supremely ridiculous in the public eye.

tected their darling southern product,
rice, by making specific duties covering

is the press that is forever tizzing and
banging and touching off fireworks in
honor of it's own glory and its OK pend
iture of so-called energy; press that is
lurid in all its methods, appeals to vulgar
appetites and low prejudices, INDUCES in
suspicion of every body, toadies to the
rich and poses as the friend of the poor,
while it despises the one and bleeds the
other. It is the press that goes off half
cooked" to use vulgarism; that is made
up of exclamation points and self-esteem,
of loose literature and low tastes. The
great cities are more or less cursed with
these papers; the lesser ones and the
towns have very few of them. Sensa-
tional journalism in the lite of metrop-
oils finds plenty of fuel for its fires: in
the communities that are smaller and
where people live closer to each other the
sensational press finds little to feed upon
and less inviting field. Unfortunately
for the whole people. however, these
metropolitan agencies of corruption are
sent broadcast over the land and into all
parts where few can be found whose
appetites demand this sort of journalistic
catering.

To THOSE who still object to the rule of
the Republican House majority in the
Fifty-ilst Congress, that members pres
ent but not voting shall be counted for q
quorum, it may be well to say, as a re-
minder, that the Supreme Court at the
time upheld the rule; declared it to be
within the province of House in its rule
making power. The Democracy need
not, therefore, be so tenderfooted in its
attempts to arrive at the same results-to
wit, to compel members of Congress to
attend to make a quorum, and even to
vote. Indeed, arbitrary as it may seem to
be, we find excellent reason in the prop
osition to compel a member present to
announce his position by his vote. 1t is
the right of the whole people that the
representatives of every section shall
make known by vote their position on
every proposition. The Democrats should
push this matter. Let them be honest
enough to declare that the rule of the Re-
publican House was right, equitable, and
ought to be enforced and given intensity
by the addition of compulsory voting by
all members unexcused.

THE most unsensational newspaper IN

The least sensational newspaper in San
Francisco was the cause of the rise and

When ''the sensational press is spoken

public, it must not be understood that a
crisp, energetic, newsy, courageous,

social good not one whit; the press that
runs to the imaginative and glorifies crime
