tract:
POpulism and the Tarir.
The Populist party adopted no tariff
plank whatsoever in its Omaha plat
form. 1t believed that there were
other questions more fundamental
than the tariff, and that the purifca-
ton OF politics and the adjustment of
some other issues would make it more
possible to deal with the tariff ques-
ton upon its merits, and IN the inter
ests OF the nation at large Its criti-
cism Of the tariff struggle between the
two great parties was embodied in the
following language:
Eve have witnessed for more than
n quarter of century the struggles
of the two great political parties for
power and plumber, while grlevous
wrongs have been inflicted upon the
people. We charge that the control
ling interests dominating both these
parties have permitted the existing
dreadful conditions to develop with
out serious effort to prevent or re-
strain them. Neither do they now
promise any substantial reform.
They have agreed together to ignore
in the coming campaign every issue
but one; they propose to drown the
outcries Of plundered people with
the uproar of a sham battle over the
tariff, so that capitalists, corpora
tons, national banks, rings, trusts,
watered stocks, demonstration of
silver and the expressions of the
usurers may all be lost sight of.
This denunciation of the two parties
seemed to the country at the time of
its PRONUNCIATION quite too dismal and
overdrawn; but in view of what has
actually happened, and OF the exist
ing state of pending tariff legislation,
there are many citizens who vote with
one or the other of the old parties
who will feel inclined to sympathize
somewhat with the view that the
PopIlists recorded in their platform
Two years ago. 1t has no doubt
been somewhat Of a sham battle,
this fight over the tariff. The
ruling party in the senate has
made no disinterested attempt to
serve the interests of the who. e coun-
try, but has INDUCED in an I'M
seemly scramble for the protection
of this locality or interest or trust or
combination, and for the correspond
ing punishment of some other locality
or interest or combination. The out
come is much what the Populists had
predicted. and appears to be viewed
by them with more equanimlty and
less concern than by any body else.
Here again, itseems to us, the PoDu-
lists have scored something. although
N less definite way. Their predic-
lion was thatthis democratic victory
won on pretense of settling the
tariff question and on a claim that
their settlement of that question
would bring about the most far-reach-
ing and 1eneficent resultS-woulG
prove a disappointment Further
more, the Populist declaration that
the solution Of these questions would
REQUIRE craftsmanship more free
from improrer influence, has seemed
to be shanefully verified by the
circumstances under which the tariff
measure has been handled in the
senate.

In all the contests beweeu emp.oye
and employer, similar to the one now
going on, it is notieea BILE that it is the
employers that appeal to the courts
and ask for military aid Another
noticeable circumstance is, that thev
generally get all they ask for in this
direction. Is this because they are
always right and the workmen are
always wrong? 1t is generally con-
coded that the laborers have a right
to organize, but what for? 1t is also
conceded that they have a right to
quit work when they feel so dis
posed.
1t is denied by many that working
men have any kind of right to prevent
in any way other people from taking
their places. Yet in doing this they
are only doing what is praeticed by
same corporations, notably the Pull
man corporation. There are also rail-

forced to engage in other business be-

found that wherever they applied for
work under another company they
were blacklisted. They are sasled
where they have worked, and, on Civ

What Is Being said, Thought and

1t is an old saying that "when
thieves fall out honest men get their
dues" We do not stop to discuss the
truth or falsitY Of this adage, but it
reminds us of the fact that the Grim
nations and recriminations in the
ranks ofthe democratic party is unfold
ing to the eyes Of the people great
deal of cussedness. Cleveland's recent
letter to Chairman Wilson, containing
an ostensible plea for the observance
of democratic principle-free raw
materlal-hasa much deeper meaning.
A syndicate composed of Secretary
Lamont, ex-Secretary Whitney, John
E. Russell and others OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends, own the immense coal
mines of Nova Scotia, and of course
want the privilege of dumping their
coal on our shores fee of duty. 1t is
natural for Mr.. Cleveland to make
this plea in their behalf. These mines
were purchased by Whitney, Lamont
& Co., through Mr. Charles E. Bell,
wealthy banker of Chicago. Mr.. Bell
got an option on them prior to the
election of 1892, and when it was
learned that the democrats would
control the house BY 70 or so majority,
so as to secure coal on the free list,
he closed the trade. The bill went
through the house all right with coal
on the free list. but Senators German,
Gibson and Camden own large coal
fields in Virginia, Senator Brice owns
mines in Tennessee and a number of
other senators are equally interested,
and the senate saw fit to tack on
duty to protect the home product
from Whitney and Lamont's dump

Hence the row
The general superstition now is
that Mr.. George NJ. Pullman
is liar. During the recent
"onpleasantness" he stated to the
public that the Pullman company
were running their business at loss,
and hence had nothing to arbitrate.
AT the same time the following card
appeared on the business envelope of
the company:

And now, since the strike, the com
pany has issued the following notice:

There is some pretty strong evidence
that the railway companies them
selves are responsible for most of the
destruction of their property in the
recent strike. The two objects they
are supposed to have had is, to get
pay for their old cars, and to obtain
the sympathy of the public and get
military aid in suppressing the strike.
Vice President Howard of the A. R.
IT,, made some very important and
not altogether unlocked for revela-
tons, while being interviewed at the
Cook county jail, the next morning
after his arrest. He said:
This thing is going to be a test
case. We don't consider ourselves
bigger than the law, and incidentally
we think the railroads are not. We
are getting some evidence for
the coming battle. and we con-
slider it a pretty fair grade.
Here is letter we receiv-
ed telling of evidence that most of the
freight car burning done in Chicago
was done by two men in the employ of
the General Managers association.
One of the secret agents of a certain
committee saw two men on the night
of the fire go through the yards with
a hand-Car ofinhammable waste, which
they lighted and Systematically threw
among the cars. This agent over
heard conversation between the
men, from which he Cleaned that they
were paid 500 down, and were to re.
ceive $500 more when the Job was
done This, we understand, was done
before the troops were called out. An
effort is now being made to arrest
these two men. We further have
pretty positive evidence that the big
man who led the mob of 5000 at Blue
Island was Pinkerton man employed
by the railroads, and it is significant
that although he could be easily
identified, yet he has not been arrest.
ed. 1t is safe to say that this case will
not be entirely one-sided."
Remember that Chicago pays the
loss-the railways lose nothing by the
borning.

BETWEEN WATER AND SKY.
Small Boy Dangled While His Com.
paniOn Yelled.

Quite an amusing incident took
place yesterday morning on the
Haaliliamanu brigde over Makaahi
stream near the Jail.
An old man and little boy were
sitting on the bridge, dangling their
fish hooks In the water after the willy
oopu. The boy in some unaccout-
able way lost his balance and began
to descend into the stream. Just at
that moment the old man caught the
little fellow by the seat of his patch
ed trousers.
Instead of pulling the boy in, as
he could have easily done, the old
man held him there dangling be-
tween stream and sky, at the same
time yelling in frantic tones for help.
Two men who happened to be upon
the bridge at the time, relieved the
boy from his peril and the old man
from his terrible fright. A few
minutes later the pair were sitting
calmly In their former positions
dangling their lines in the water.
