Mr.. Debs seems to be laboring hard TO
keep up his delusion that the strike is
still on. But he must soon succumb.
Even Debs cannot long resist the ever
whelming demonstration which regu-
larry running trains, men applying for
reinstatement, and especially the disap-
pearance of "scare" heads from the news
papers, afford that the strike is as dead as
Julius Caesar. OF course it is not pleas
ant for man who week ago was or
dering men by the thousands and receiv-
ing implicit obedience to find himself
suddenly shorn of all his power and fast
becoming the object of the deep resent
ment of the men who blindly followed
him, and Debs will keep his eyes closed
to the facts as long as possible. But
the facts are there all the same, and
sooner or later he will have to recognize
them.

THE TARIFF BILL.

German and Brice and one or two
o ther Democratic Senators held up the
Democratic members of the Senate and
compelled them to accept and pass bill
radically different from the one the
majority wanted.
OF THAI there is no question. The great
majority of the Democratic Senators
frankly admitted it in their speeches on
the bill. The power that German and
Brice then exercised still remains. They
can again hold up the Senate and compel
it to choose between no bill at all and
bill satisfactory to them. Hence they
are in position to say to the conference
committee, leave the bill substantially
as the Senate left it or there will be no
tariff legislation this session. "Will they
say it, will they use their power to COM
pei the conference committee to agree to
measure satisfactory to them? Per-
haps the best way to answer this ques-
tion is to ask another. Would these two
astute Senators have upset the work of
The finance committee, constructed a
oAA2 oAStloS1vCo anu COIpCllcQ UuG O6u~
ate to pass it if they had intended to
permit conference committee to recast
it and make it over into very different
measure? German and Brice are not
sentimentalists. They are for business
every time. But there would be no bust
ness in compelling the Senate to accede
to their ideas and then allowing a con-
ference committee to overthrow them.
They knew perfectly we'll that the house
would not agree to the measure they had
constructed, and that it would go to a
conference committee for final revision:
and it is simply ridiculous to suppose
that their plan did not include the con-
troll of this committee as we'll as that of
the Senate They foresaw that precisely
the same threat that they brought to
bear upon the Senate they could bring
to bear with equal force upon the con-
ference committee. "Elther our bill or
nothing, they said to the Senate, and
the Senate, knowing that they had the
power to enforce their threat, surren-
dered. To the conference committee
p'Aoy SoA soy Will Juou do AuCl lOfct as
to the Senate, sour measure 0 no meas
ure." Indeed there are many signs that
they have said it already, and that the
committee is now face to face with
the dilemma it presents Of course the
House conferees are disposed to restore
the bill to something like the form it
was in when it left that body. But
we do not believe they are
prepared to stand out for their ideas to
the extent of imperilling all tariff legis-
alton; SO that the chances are that after
protesting for some days that they will
never surrender, they will surrender
and consent that the Gorman-Brice bill
shall measure the extent. of Democratic
tariff reform for this session of Con-
gress.

The other day the President appointed
a district attorney for New jersey The
man named had what appeared to be the
endorsement OF Senator Macpherson.
When the appointment was made public
it proved very unacceptable to the
Democratic boss of New Jersey, and
Immediately kilograms of protest began
to pour in to the President, and the New
Jersey senators. Mcpherson was so terri
fed by them that he FASTENED to explain
that he had not endorsed the man in

his confirmation in the Senate. The

interest in the government to participate

stead OF encouraging such men to vote

would be wiser to discourage them.

Theatircals. Two Comedies: Tenants.
Disengaged. By Henry James In a
handsomely bound volume, with rich
paper and ample margin, Mr.. James
publishes two plays which he tells us in
his preface were intended for representa-.
ton. This the reader would infer from
the accurate and careful stage detail
and the instruction attending each
spoken part, as to gesture, information
and expression. that accompany the text.
In these comedies, which are quite long,
bye the bye, and not parlor pieces, such
as we get from Mr.. Howells' pen, are
displayed the authors special talents;
they are clever, incisive and delicately
sarcastic.
The plot of Tenants is as follows: Sir
Frederick Byng living at his Dey onshire
home Rockingham Manor" with his
ward, young lady of eighteen and her
companion, Miss Dyer, who is never
quite sure one ought"to do this. that or
the other, comes into heated conflict with
his son anent this same young ward,
Mildred by name, with whom young
Byng is madly in love. His father op-
poses the marriage. Now comes upon
the scene, as tenants for villa owned
by Sir Frederick, a certain lady and her
son Claude. who prove to DE an early
mistress and the Legitimate son of Sir
Frederick himself. They have in asso-
cation with them one Lurcher, nomi-
nally the new young mans tutor. There
follow plans to marry Mildred to Claude
and a general complication in rascality,
cleared up at the curtains fall by hap
piness to the original young lover and
remuneration and reform upon the part
of Madame the tenant that would be.
Disengaged is a series of schemes and
counter-schemes in social life and lovers
quarrels, clustered about the modern
Photographic camera where sitting,
grouping and developing play promi-
nent part. as in the preceding play,
light repartee and skiIlful badinage are
beautifully handled.
The comedies need a stage rendering

ing acted than read. New York: Har-
