out reference to the strong oppusltlon
to tie new sugar schedule by the
Louisiana senators. This opposition
may be overcome, however, by permit
ting the present bounty Or q portion
of it to III unit: Jan. / next. The
Louisiana opposition has been due
maialy to the fact that provision had
been made for bounty in the senate
bill, and 1t has been urged that it was
bad faith to cut off the bounty when
the presents ugar crop was put i'll on
the basis of a bounty. by postponing
the time at which the bounty provis-
ions Of the Mckinley lew shall be re-
pealed until Jan. / would operate on
the crop about to be gathered. 1t was
mentioned by one of the conferees as
q fair concession to the Louisiana men
and one likely to overcome their oppo-
sition. The Louisiana senators have
said that they would be willing to
accept half of the bounty for the pres
ent year in addition to the duty in the
new compromise bill.
Some attention las also been given to
the income tax, and while a final
agreement has not been reached, it
is practically conceded that the senate
limit Of five years will be adopted.

HAY FAMINE MAY RESULT.

From the Pr0tracted Drouth in the

st. Paul, Aug. 6.-About the only
thing to be said about the hay crop
in Minnesota is that there is none.
That is, comparing it with previous
years. The drouth has effectually de-
stroyed the crop in certain parts Of
the state, while in others the hay is
coarse and weedy. Commission mer-
chants predict that in consequence Of
this unusual state of affairs there win
be a great hay famine later in the year.
The price at the present time ranges
from 81 to $40 per ton, and already
the local market is flooded with an
inferior grade that is usually held until
late in the season. Good hay, which
Is always in demand, is decidedly
scarce and brings q high price. II

Now we regard Mr.. Coke as a very
likely man. He is popular with the
laboring classes, because he has shown
himself in full sympathy with them.
a rich man can do much worse with
his money than to give his employees
an occasional Christmas turkey and
be among the last rather than the first

GETTING a QUORUM.

Already it is urged, as might have
been anticipated, that to dock the
proud statesman who deliberately alb
sents himself when his vote is needed,
will place the Sergeant-at-Arms in an
embarrassing position.
This official wants never to offend
but always to oblige the recalcitrant
statesmen upon whom he relics for his
own position.
He can't afford to quarrel with
them about their dockage, and there
fore don't want to be used as the lev
erage by which truant statesmen are
brought to school and kept there in
order that the wheels of legislation
may continue to grind out needed
laws.

McLaurin's First Speech in the Senate
Good One.

Discussing the all-absorbing tariff
and incometax question, which con-
tinued by mutual consent till Tuesday
at FIVE o clock, Senator McLaurin
made his first speech in the Senate
chamber on the I7th instant. He gave
the tariff bill his unhesitating support,
saying it commended itself especially
to him because it was a step in the
right direction ; that an income tax is
a step in the direction of apportioning
the expense Of the Government in
proportion to wealth. He said, further
more, that it represented the doctrine
of revenue as against the doctrine
of extortion. He denied the assertion
that an income-tax was undemocratic.
He held that Democracy meant that
the people should rule. And as sure
as the people ruled an income tax
would be levied. We wish the honor
able Senator could also have said that,
when levied, the income tax would be
collected. The Senator's reliance was
upon the voice of the people whom
he said would be heard from the polls.

ADVANCEMENT OF DEMOCRACY.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND WRITES A
LETTER TO CHAUNCEY F.
BLACK

WASHINGTON, April 20. President
Cleveland has forwarded the following
letter to Chauncey F. Black, president
of the National Association of Demo
cratic Clubs, dated Executive Man
sion, Washington, April IS, 1894:
"MY DEAR SIR: l have carefully
read the communication you lately
placed ir my hands, setting forth the
future purposes and present needs Of
the National Association of Demo.
cratic Clubs.
"The achievements of the organiza-
ton should be familiar to all who are
interested in the continuation of Dem
ocratlc supremacy and should enlist
the encouragement of those who ap-
preciate the importance of an effective
dissemination of Democratic doctrine.
"Your association has done much
by way of educating our people touch.
ing the particular subjects which are
recognized as belonging to the Demo
cratic faith but it seems to me that
its best service has been an enforce.
ment and demonstration of the truth
that our party is best organized and
most powerful when it strives for prin.
ciples instead of spoils, and that it
quickly responds to the stimulus sup
piled by an enlistment in the peoples
cause.
"This acknowledgment Of the i'm.
portant services rendered to the ad-
vancement oftrue Democracy suggests
that the National Association OF Demo
cratic Clubs and every other Demo
cratic agency should labor INCREASINGLY
and earnestly to save our party, in this
time Of its power and responsibility,
from the degradation and disgrace oil
failure to redeem the pledges upon
which our fellow country-men entrust-
cd us with the control of their govern.
nent.
"All who are charged, on behalf of
the.Democratic party, with the redemp-
ton of these pledges should now be
impressively reminded that, as we won
our way to victoiy under the banner
of tariff reform, so our insistance upon
that principle is the condition of our
return of the peoples trust and that
fealty to party organization demands
the subordination OF individual advan-
tages and wishes, and the putting aside
of petty and ignoblc jealousies and
chickering's, when party principles and
party integrity and party existence are
at stake.
81 cheerfully enclose contribution
TO the funds necessary to carry on the
good work of your organization, with
a hearty wish for its continued success
and usefulness.
Yours, very truly.
"GRovER CLEVELAND" ."
