CHAIRMANVOORHEES of the SenateFinance
German in his onslaught on the president
promised to Gallup later to show that Cleve-
land had been deceiving them. But if the
Hoosier statesman ever had any idea of sus-
tanning German and his gang, he has got over
it, since the answer has come in from the
country so overwhelmingly in the last fort
night i'm execration of the Gorman-Smth-
Brice combine. Senator Voorhees,, who has
i'm the interim been confined to his bed by
illness gave out an interview Monday i'm which
he sad
at seems to me there ought to be but little
if any difficulty in reaching an agreement be-
tween the two houses. The Ways and Means
Committee of the house did not in the first in
stance report in favor of free sugar, but
were overruled by the house. and free sugar
was put in the Wilson bill, | would gladly
have concurred in this, but it was soon as
certained with mathematical certainty that
such bill could by no possibility pass the
senate. look upon the presidents letter TO
Mr.. Wilson rs a help rather than hindrance
toward compromise settlement. The conces-
sion which the president advises the house to
make on sugar is liberal and ought to be at once
satisfactory to every legitimate sugar interest.
The only other points OF serious trouble are
embraced in the question whether coal and
iron shall be free or have tariff duty laid on
them of 40 cents per ton. These are exceed
ingly small and insignificant items OF con-
troyersy on which to defeat great national
system of revenue reform, obstruct all legis-
lation looking to that end. disappoiDt aud lie
range every business of the county, ssreatly
embarass the Democratic party, and inflict
the gravest calamnities on all classes of people.
III legislation shall entirely fail at this time.
owing TO stubborn disagreement as to
whether there shall be a small duty on coal
and small duty on iron ore, or whether
these two articles shall be on the free list. the
men who make that result inevitable may
rest assured that they will be held in ever
lasting remembrance and everlasting exc
creation; they will be burned in effigy from
one ocean TO the other, and their names will
be piIIoried in the detestation of the Ameri-
can people. There il so little ground in my
mind now for final disagreement and those
who continue to insist on small things, and
thus compel such disagreement will he held a
criminals by all just-minded people. The
sugar question being practically out Of the
WAY, a. / have shown, by concession. the SEN
ate ought in my judgement, 10 concede free
coal snd free iron ore, and. Of course. II
would do 50 but for the membership in that
body which can he counted on the fingers of
one hsnd.'

SO Gov. Lewelling and the Populist leaders

SO Gov. Leweing and the Populist leaders
of Kansas are initiating the Tammany-Repub-
lican combine in New York city in levying
systematic tribute against the liquor saloons
and brothels of the cities, in violation of law +!
Such at least is the charge made over his own
signature by Supreme Court Justice 5. II.
Allen, himself Populist, in letter which
the Republican state committee is scattering
broadcast over the state in Autographs. There
is enough to it at any rate so that the Popu-
lists of Shawnee county, in which Topeka Is
located, demand dwellings withdrawal. As
both Democrats and Republicans are running
a state ticket, it would look as if the Populist
goose in Kansas were cooked.

THE essentic morality of prohibition has
Just had another illustration at Rutland in
the ''divvy up" of the moiety from the John
O'Nell liquor fines amounting to 5000 be-
tween Ii. W. Love and Jewett =. Cain.
These are the men, it will be remembered,
who conducted the prohibition crosade at
Rutland a few years ago. raking in some
thousands of dollars from the prosecutions,
and leaving the liquor evil greater than they
found it, of course. They could get none of
the plumber from this particular fine until
after the case had gone to the United States
Supreme court and O'Neill after eXhausting
every device to get out of the House of cor
rection, finally paid it, and then they quarrel
ell over the division. The State auditor re-
spond to decide the dispute and it was finally
compromised between them. Love getting the
larger share, as it is stated.

EVERY Democratic state convention since
the tariff deadlock began has spoken in the
rish. voice. and to the point. That in Florida
was equally ,emphatic with that of Iowa. Il
approved ''the answering integrity and pa
triotism of President CleveIand,,' and "the
course of the United States Democratic house
of representatives in its efforts to relieve the
people of unjust taxation, "and condemned the
course of "those Democratic senators who are
resisting the just demands of the immediate
Representatives of the people," Not solitary
word of approval or comfort for the German
combine has come from anywhere. This is
the great and winning factor in the fight

and this year had the endorsement

as well as the Democratic split, and plenty OF
money from the Home Market club and the
Republican National committee. There
were dissenson among the Democrats owing
to a hot ante-convention canvass which Sena-

ended in an enthusiastic endorsement of the
administration and the nomination of Col.

recent action of the governor in putting into
active service the state militia to protect the
lives of the negro miners around Birmingham
made a profound impression and doubt
less helped the tendency. Oates was one of the
few southerners who voted for the uncon-
ditional repeal of the Silver purchase act, and
the platform on which he ran was an unu-
sually sound one, declaring for free coinage
of silver only whenever it can he done
consistently with the maintenance of a sound
and safe currency" The result, considering
all these things is a most gratifying one in the
patriotic view, even in the heavy Democratic
majority returned TO the legislature which
means the easy reelection of Senator Morgan

withstanding his bitterness towards Cleye-
land and VINO is an able man. kolb of course,

THE elections just held in New South Vale,

THE elections just held in New South Wales,
have returned the free trade party to power
after a trial of only two years of the mild pro-
lection which was Unexpectedly brought
about two years ago by combination of labor
men and protectionists. The labor men now
are nearly all free traders, and the revolution
is the result of IN extension of suffrage to
practically manhood basis. Two years eX-
perience have been sufficient to convince the
country as to which is the better and health
ier policy. The late election, following the
victory of lower-tariff idea in this country,
may fairly be regarded as turning of the
tide which had for 20years been running tow
ards protectionism all over the world.

COL w q Veazey who was overcome by the
heat in Washington recently has gone to
Nova Scotia for rest and refreshment until
able TO return to his duties on the Interstate
commerce commission. He told BOSTON
Journal reporter Monday while in that city
on his way that he believed the bill now be-
fore congress for the amchdlncnt of the

tees of the two houses and which he expects
TO boss at the next session, viii remedy the
defects which have been developed by ex-
perience and the reckless contumacy of rail-
road managers. lie says
"The bane of rairoading Ms been
the cutting of the rates secretly and
contrary to the law between the rail.

ret to the condition where the rates that are
reasonable and just are maintained fairly

and nav reasonable compensation" Not on
the present boated condition OF thu stock of
some of them, but upon reasonable cost and
value of the property" Comparatiyely
speaking, there is not m'sele complaint that
rates are unreasonably high, but rather that
shippers are not treated equally that one
the same service. They demand fair dealing
that IS, equal treatment. Men are daily saving
to us that they cannot do business if their
are secretly getting better rates
than they are. 1t is to remedy this that the
bill now before Congress is designed to

The bicycle races at BARRE
The races of the Barre Bicycle club Saturday
afternoon were attended by nearly 1000 people
and the contests were close and exciting The
track was in as good condition as it was possible
to make 1t and the weather could not have been
better. Because of his sprinting ability at the
finish Fred l.. Knapp of Springfield, carried
home with him $50 worth of diamonds. Walsh
the Vermont champion, rode in hard luck. Twice
his wheel went back on him and his handicap
was changed after the race hogan by telegram
from the Handicapped at Boston, There was
trouble over the twomile handicap. W. z;
French, a local rider, rode from the $50; yard
mark and was an easy first in, but Q. A. Gale
another local rider, who had dropped out of the
race and was riding leisurely home, suddenly
cut in ahead of French and began pacing him.
This justly caused kick and the judges decided
that it must be ridden over. French refused to
ride and Knapp who was second for the first
time came out of the bunch at the finish and won
it. One of the most enthusiastic features of the
day was the boys race which was a half ridden

haps the politicians remember the
rebuke they received at the polls
from the north end two years ago
on account of the manner in which
the north end was juggled out of
all representation. It's a good idea
for the people, by their ballots, to
make themselves respected some
times.
