should the Senate be successful would
or rather could Cleveland in view OF his
letter to Chairman Wilson allow the bill
to become a law. TO do so would be- 70
stultify himself. and to stand confessed
as a deliberate breaker Of his own
pledges.
The people of the country are opposed
to the bill. and there are several chances
yet that this infamous measure may re-
ceive its quietus before long. Still the
chance for compromise yet remains and
it is hard to believe that the Democratic
party will openly confess its utter in
ability to prepare a tariff schedule aud
pass it to successful completion.
The Democrats are today betwixt the
devil and the deep sea, with more
chances Of gravitating toward the former
than the latter.

The report comes that Wellman's
Polar expedition has been lost. was
the daring conception of a daring man,
and the dangers to be braved would
have discouraged a less plucky individ-
ual, but until the report is verified by
absolute proof his newspaper friends
will take precious little stock in it.
Death alone could prevent Wellman
from carrying out his assignment and
the report is a triAe premature in the
face of the facts that his scheme did
not depend upon the safety of his vessel.
Still the dangers of Arctic explorations
are so great and the bones of SO many
brave men lie on the barren wilder
Of the vast ice-felds of the North,
that it would not be strange If other
brave lives have been sacrificed in the
mid desire to know more about the
Frozen North.

REED M

The Republicans Of the First Con-
gressional District Of Maine yesterday
for the tenth time nominated Thomas
b. Reed for Congress. This is as it
should be. The people of Maine long
ago learned the value Of keeping good
men in Office and the present Maine
delegation has been unbroken for years.
This is what has given it greater power
in shaping the legislation Of the country
than that welded 10y any other State.
With Hale and Frye in the Senate, Ding
ley, Boutelle, Reed and Millikin in the
House, Maine car challenge any State to
produce a delegation equal to her own
with no fear of successful contradiction.
Tom Reed, for who can call him any
thing else, can hold his present seat as
long as he desires and he probably will
occupy 1t until he is given a higher
place at the hands Of the people. He is
slated for the speakership of the next
House, and will get it. His admiring
constituents believe that even higher
honors are in store for him and The
NEWS re-echoes their wish, but he must
change his views upon the silver ques-
ton before he ear be seriously consid-
cred for the Presidency. His late un-
fortunate letter on this subject, is his
most serious bar to the advancement his
friends desire for him.

In the midst of all this hue and cry
about Cleveland's treachery, do not lose
sight Of the fact, that more powerful
than the chief magistrate or the House
OF Representatives in controlling the
tariff changes, stands the Sugar Trust.
There are many Senator'S who are ready
to fight On any line that will call off at
tention to the sugar schedule. in the
hope that the bigger the rumpus kicked
up over other matters, the greater il
their chance to escape from the disgrace
that has and Is confronting them. The
Sugar Trust and nothing else is respon-
sible for the present situation. As q
nation vexed with internal discussions
ofttimes seeks q foreign quarrel and
p~recipitates a foreign war in order to
avoid a civil struggle, s the Senate de-
sires to remove the fight from its own
ranks outside, that the sugar scandal
may be forgotten in the excitement Of
of the hour.

New York Sun urged IL not to do 80 in
those words: Boston will vote today
whether she wants an elevated road or
not. II it's worth while TO offer M
alien opinion we should say she didn'i
want it. Boston is elevated enc gh
already. She gazes apon the rest of the
world from a lofty station. To be ele-
waited above herself is to gid the lily

be gilded and Boston will continue to
look down on the rest of the world fro m
even a higher altitude than Of yore.

Tho Senate Democrats helds n caucus
yesterday afternoon, Senators Hill,
Murphy and Irby not attending. Hill
frankly told Mr.. German that he pro-
posed to kill the bill regardless Of any
changes unless the income tax was re-
moved, and therefore he did not care to
participate in the conference. That
places Hill on the bill. His vote can 10
counted against 1t so long as the in
come tax remains and the House
cannot pass the measure without L..
The failure of Murphy and Irby to go
into caucus auses some remark and
t~heir~notives are being closely scanned.
Neither of them is friendly to the bill,
and it would take but little to induce
them to revolt against it.
In the 3aucus no agreement was
reached and the friends OF sugar, OF iron
aud Of coal declared that il their inter.
ests were threatened they would vote
against the bill.
Perhaps they will but the sincerity of
their statements should be put TO the
lest. There is underlying this whole
discussion a strong feeling in the Senate
that the House will yield eventually and
on this feeling the Senate is relying.
The House Is hardly likely to make the
concessions. though being the larger
body, II is less easy to hold 1t together
firmly than to hold the Senate, and
this gives the only chance for belief that
the House will yield.
Perhaps both sides will yield, but

Workingmen and the Militia.


There is no reason whatever for the anxiety
displayed in certain quarters over the report
that members Of organized labor societies are
enlisting In the militia. The suggestion that
In this republic there should be a distinction
of class in accepting recruits for military
service is hostile to the spirit of American
institutions. thought to be no concern of the
authorities whether a man offering to enlist Is
or is not a member Of a labor union. The sole
question should be as to physical ability and
fidelity to the laws. workingmsn should
DO welcome In the ranks. The armies
of the Union were armies OF work
ingmen. The victories over rebellion were
won by workingmen, and workingmen not
only carried the musket, but wore the stars
of command. and planned as well as fought
the battles Of war. Without workingmen in
the ranks our militia would present a sorry
spectacle. and the union laborers OF the coun-
try are among the best in brain and courage.
as well as strength and industry. Those who
are continually endeavoring to stir up strife
and raise alarm over the alleged evil inten-
tions of ~workingmen are doing no good to

through the immense crowd that filled
the court house lobbies to the street,
where stood the carriage which WAS to
take the prisoner to the Jail. Nearly
all of them were Gravesend adherents
of the convicted boss. As he appeared
the crowd surged around him. Sheriff
Butling, his deputies and the police
could not clear the way. The jam was
50 great that they could not get
through. McKaue raised his hand and
called out: Clear the way, boys!'
"All right, chief" shouted back the
big crowd in thuuderouS tones. In a
minute the crowd had fallen back, but
they kept up continuous shouting
''Hurrah for McKane, Stand by the
chief, Three cheers for Chief Nc
Kane, We'll always be your friend.
Then McKane waved for the men to
make way for the horses. The crowd
fell back and the carriage sped away
toward the Jail with the shouting

Mr.. Thompson lives at Petropolis, the
summer resort twenty-five miles north
