THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

All eyes are now turned toward the upper
House of Congress. The lower House
has sent TO the Senate tariff bill which
will neither produce the required revenue
nor afford the needed projection to
American industries. The bill has been
put through the House under the impulse
of an administration spur. There were
favors for men who would vote for il and
frowns for those who would not The
easy-going Democrat voted with his
party. With political humiliation in
plain view he thought he might as well go
down with the crowd or TO stay off by him
self with small chances of escaping a like
fate.
The Senat is not so directly exposed to
the influence of the executive. One
third Of the mem bers will be in Office after
Mr.. Cleveland becomes a private citizen.
If there is any virtue in the sitting process
as applied to public men, the Senate is
composed of the fttest The men who are
influential in that body won their spurs
in the lower House and in State Legisla-
lures. and have been prom oted on merit
AS individuals and as body they are as
high as they can go. The men vino have
left the Senate for the Cabinet have, with
one or two exceptions, looked back upon
the step as a mistake. The Senate is in
an especial sense deliberatve body. Its
rules do not allow majority TO shut off
debate because the President has decided
what it is best to do.
The Wilson bill should be considered in
the Senate with more than ordinary DELHI
GRAFTON. Its bearings upon American in
dustrles should be examined from every
possible point of view. If the bill passes
the Senate it will be the law for four years.
If 1t is crude in detail, false in principle,
partial in its application, these four years
will be years of agitation for its repeal.
Democratic Senators are not bound by
party ties, for the reason that it is not the
kind Of tariff their platform demands.
Concerning the duty of the Senate in this
crisis Democratic journal of high author
ity says:
Make tariff law that will correct the Inc.
qualities and imperfections OF the Mckinley en-
actment, but do not give sudden and fatal
shock TO the business interests. DO not tamper
with fire and dynamite when the manufacturers
and workingmen are already in a ate of col
lapse. Do not make violent aud incon siderate
change in the system which has been eoinei.
dent with the prosperity and growth OF the
country, whether IL has been the cause or not
Certain it is that the whole web and wool OF
production and trade are interlaced win the
protective system, and it is also certain the
method OF change recommended In the Demo
cratic platform OF 1892 has been ignored by the
authors and finishers of the Wilson bill.

COUNTY ROADS.
How They Are Being Improved in
Alameda County.


"The road law of this State needs fur
Their reforming" said Supervisor T. G.
Plunkett of Alameda County last evening
to CALL reporter. 81 will admit that
the law which went into effect the first of
last year was long step In advance. 1t
took the management of roads out of poll
tics by doing away with an elected over
seer and making the Supervisor also road
superintendent of his district.
Formerly the Road Overseer was king
of bosses in the country district. On cleo
tlon day Sheriff or Supervisor would be
traded always for vote for Road Over
seer.
However, under the new regime the
Road Overseer is appointed by the Super
visor. aud is responsible alone to him.
The supervisor employs directly all the
men who work on the county roads, and
he must 60 over the work frequently. For
this the law allows him a mileage OF 10
cents mile each way, the whole amount
not to exceed annually $500.
Although it was the intention OF the
Legislature that this law should be gen.
eral, District Attorney Shook declared
last month that it did not apply to Ala
media County for this reason. The law
states that the compensation of Supervis-
ors while acting as Road Superintendent
limit of $500, except where it shall be
otherwise provided for by law Now,
the county law applying to the class In
which Alameda is In states that for all
their duties whatsoever the Supervisors
shall receive a mileage of 10 cents per
mile

Sergeant Tom Mahony, who, on duty. is

and suicidal intent, asked why she desired

she had Just come from Montana to see
the fair; that she had never seen salt
water or a steam craft before and she
wanted to observe how a steamb boat
moved.
Mahoney, who has fine sense of humor
as we'll as poiteness, accompanied the
visitor through the gates, answered
numerous questions in straightforward
way and watched with interest his fair
companions delight when she saw the

wake of swlrling white foam. A moment
later she jumped back when the massive
wheels of the ferry Piedmont, living at the
adjoining slip, began TO turn and scatter

piles.

The Woodland Democrat says:

strict party vote tie House Is likely to indorse
the Presidents Hawaiian policy. few wee ks

sentiment was overwhelming IN condemnation
OF the course OF the President and Secret ar v

There was time when the House
seemed to reflect public opinion In respect
to Mr.. Cleveland's Hawaiian policy. The
fact that the House. by a small majority,
Endorsed that policy does not imply a
change 10 public opinion. There has been
no time when the course of the adminis-
tration has been more emphatically con-
demned than at present. The most in
dnential Democratic journals in the
United States join in this general con-
demnatiop. AS proof we copy the follow
ing from late number of the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
CAN THE PRESIDENT GEORGE THE
HOUSE?
The sole foundation of Mr.. McCreary,s
Hawaiian resolutions Is the exploded falsehood
that the United States Government overturned
the Hawaiian Government.
There Is not member OF the House who is
DO ssessed OF common intelligence and who has
taken the least pains TO inform himself. who
does not know this.
1t is because an investigation by the House
would clrary show that our Government was
right throughout the whole proceeding, that no
inquiry has been made by that body. 1t is be-
cause It is well known that the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations will soon report

THE PARTY AT FAULT.

The Fresno ELpOsitOr has undertaken to
show that in voting against the Wilson
tariff bill Congressman Geary proved him.
self traitor. The ErpoSitor begins in
this way:
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL asks the Erpost-
tor 10 what Congressman Geary has proved
himself traitor in opposing the passage OF the
wilson bill. That is easy enough. He has
proven himself a traitor TO the principles OF the
Democratic party and TO the interests OF the
people of the United States.
To establish the case the ErpoSitor
should define the principle of the Demo-
cratic party. 1t should also offer some
thing more conclusive than mere opinion
as to the policy that will promote the
interests of the United States. These are
matters of opinion. The Chicago conven-
ton declared a tariff for revenue only to
be Democratic principle. The House
elected on that platform passed a tariff
bill that its friends do no profess to con-
slider tariff for revenue. To justify
vote against the bill presented in the House
any Democrat had only to show that the
tariff bill under consideration was not in
harmony with the principles proclaimed
In convention. Being thus released from
party obligations to support the Demo
cratic bill Mr.. Geary or any other Demo-
crat would be at liberty to choose between
the existing tariff and the one proposed.
The ETp0Sitor states truly that Mr.. Geary
was nominated on a platform which de-
nounced the Mckinley tariff and demand
ed its repeal. But the platform also de-
fned she nature of the tariff that should
succeed the Mckinley tariff. Congress.
however, has not given any Democrat a
chance to vote for such bill as the plat
form defined. 1t is impossible to hold
representative to his obligation TO his
party unless the party holds itself true to
its authoritatively avowed principles
