il. While Hill was regarded as a loyal
Democrat these esteemed censors had
no words black enough In which TO
paint him; since he has started In to op-
pose the policy OF his party, as repre-
scented by the administration which he
labOred 20 defeat, they have discovered
in him the elements Of a great states
man, and he and his personal organ In
New York are constantly qoted by them
with the highest approval. Mr.. HIPS
present purpose is apparently TO help
the Republicans defeat the revenue bill,
and as long as be adhereS 10 that they
will probably stand by him. II be shall
fail, and 10 is hoped that he will, they
may find occasion to again measure him
up at something near his proper sizs.-
Philadelphia Times.
Apparently hostility to the admins
tratiOn has led Senator Hill 10 posi-
tiOn strongly inconsistent with his pre-
viOus attitude toward the tariff Ques-
tion. Apparently he has turned his
back upon the carefully prepared
speech made by him 10 this city last
November. Apparently he has repudi-
ated the doctrines promulgated oY him
10 his Brooklyn speech in 1892
and in various speeches deiiv'
cred in 1891, 1890, 1850 and
1SsS. In his Buffalo speech last No
vember he advocated In substance the
tariff provisions that were subsequent
ly put into the Wilson bill. In that
speech he also said: "A new tariff mSas-
ure repeating or substantially modify
ing the Mckinley law will probably be
passed BY the Democratic House OF
Representatives as early as February /;
ana IL Is 20 be hoped that a diliatOry
Senate Will De able, after reasonable de-
bate (sO-caled), 20 enact the measure
early in the cOBing summer" But
whether Senator Hill himself will vote
for the "new measure appears now TO
DO uncertain. He is evidently in SYM
patty with the "dilatOry" programme
adopted by the enemies OF the bill.-
Buffalo Courier.
What Mr.. Hill most OF all desires is
10 retain the little that Is left OF his hold
upon the Democratic party in New York,
and 20 DO all the harm he can 20 the
Democratic party OF the country, so far
as il is represented by the National Ad-
ministratiOn. For the first purpose 10 is
quite necessary 20 him 20 oppose the
income tax, while he sOlaces himself
with such digs" as be can intlict in
passing upon the President. Nee York

This man Hill, who arraigns the Pres
ident for daring to be honest and true 20
the principles which elected MIN, is the
direct representative OF the influences
which nominated Maynard, which made
Gravesend methods possible, which
started riot and murder in Troy and
which excited a wave Of indignation
that has swept the Democracy from
power in every section OF tue Union
where elections were held last fall and
this spring. City STAR
While there will be some surprise that
an, York Senator elected as Dem
ocrat took the floor to antagOnize every
thing in the policy and leadership OF
the party, 10 is a relief 20 be certain
that Hill, Murphy and the other trait
ors are on the Republican side. Cleve-
ID luck is coming back. Hil's speech
will restore Cleyeland's hold upon null
tltudes OF men, There will be feeling
That the President knew what he was
doing during the ten years battle with
Hill and Hillism.-St Louis Republic
For Senator David 3. Hill there is no
excuse for the wantOnneSS OF this
treachery, nor for the corrupt political
ambition, selfshness and greed ia which
IL was engendered. His name is crossed
out OF the Democratic books. His
place is among the camp followers Of
the Republican party. The Democratic
party must gain It's future triumphs not
only without his aid, but in spite Of his
gangrened and malignant enmity.-
Chicago Herald
Senator Hills speech in the Senate
Yesterday was on the income tax. The
straits to which he was put are shown
IN the following sentence: This speak
ing In defense OF wealth is a new role TO
me" Defense OF wealth against just
taxation is a new role for any one who
professes To be a friend OF the people. 10
iaan new role for Mr.. Hill because he
has heretofore asserted that he is a
Democrat. The defense Of wealth
against the rights OF the poor; the ad-
vocacy o. monopoly against the privi-
leges OF the people; the championship OF
plutOcracy against the ppreSSed-theSe
are not the tasks in which Democrats
engage. Besides being a new role for
Mr.. Hill, il is q role that no one can
plav who intends 90 remain in the
Democratic party. IL MIR. Hill votes
against the pending bill, income tax in
ciuded. he will vote deliberately FOR the
retention Of McKinleyism. He will be
he champion OF trusts and mOnop0lies.
He knows what will follow the failure
OF the Democratic party 70 reform the
tariff and TO reduce tariff taxation. All
these evils would Mr.. Hill bring upon
tbe country and the party In order %
defeat tax which proposes TO take q
mite from the unneeted surplus OF the
rich I'm order that the labor OF the cOun-
try may be relieved OF a portion Of the
burden that Expresses il. Could any
Republican DO worse?-NCiC York lF0rld
