Capital Forcing a Bond Issue.

The Treasury figures show that there
is now, in this country at least six
months supply of sugar, so that little
revenue may be expected from that
source. This also is true of whiskey.
The statistics of the Internal Revenue
Bureau show that the tax already has
been paid upon over 100000 gal
Ions of whiskey in excess ofthe amount
upon which the tax had been paid
one year ago. Therefore but little
revenue may be expected from this
source before December. The only
recourse, therefore, it is contended,
will be to a bond issue, and there are
many well-informed people who
believe that if this Congress does not
pass a prohibitive resolution before
adjournment $50, 900, 900 or more will
soon be issued. That there would be
no difficulty in placing any reasonable
amount, even at the premium exacted
in February, seems apparent from the
fact that the February bonds are being
sold at premium of I.a7 per cent.

tor the statesman in proportion to the
importance OF the bills to be passed
in their favor. That's exactly what it
means. This is a sad commentary.
and yet the country at large bleeds
because of the truth OF it, as clearly
demonstrated during the present ses-
sion of Congress. To hear the open
declaration from Senators and Con.
gressmen themselves that bribe money
is offered, and freely offered, to secure
certain monopoli es or advantageous
rights and privileges, brushes away
all doubts about it from the mind Of
the astounded and honest votes. The
outcome of the disgraceful revelations
of this session will not expire with
congressional adjournment. If there
is not Senatorial revolution in conse
quence within the next decade OF
years we very much mistake the right
eous temperament of the American
people without regard to party affilia-
tions If the Democratic party can
maintain her prestige, it cannot be
through the favor her Senators pre-
sumo to show our national trusts and
selfish combines, or through more vio-
lated promises, but it must emanate
from the righteous and winning course
marked out and consistently followed
up by the President, even though he
has been obliged to 60 it comparative
ly alone. Were third term among
the possibilities or rather probabilities,
In this country, then the most avail
able man and the most likely man to
succeed to the Presidency from the
votes of the people at large. is Just
Grover Cleveland of New York, the
unassuming but stubbornly honest
man whom Roscoe Conkling-another
honest public man, as his public his
tory shows-is largely credited with
helping into public life and national
favor, even while differing with him
politically. As between the ascendency
OF Blaine or Cleveland, Conkling pre-
ferred the latter first, last, and all the
time. Cleveland still continues to be
mighty right, while both Blaine and
Conkling are dead and gone to their
eternal reward-the one having died
very poor and the other a very rich
man.

True Inwardness of Senatorial Dignity

And now Senator Vest proposes to
unbutton his vest and make some
more startling revelations TO the too.
frequently startled sovereign power.
To our mind the people cannot find
out a great deal too much about the
maodus opera'adi of law making. The
more the Senators themselves dis
close of their crookedness the more
anxious the people will be of course
to find straight statesmen. While we
have no doubt this body of Senators
is about as straight as the general run,
1t is appalling to see how crooked the
stralghtest are. The only hope of the
people is to get the lawmakers into
real fight once in awhile, and then
Gull the plain truth from what the
row discloses for the common good.
A much worse thing might happen to
this country than a genuine fight at
headquarters. Peaceful log g-rolling is
ten times worse than real fight, and
besides it costs more money. The
"you tickle me and I'll tickle you "
plan is very docile, dignihed, and
harmonious, but as a general thing i,
gets too much money out of the
Treasury in a short space of time
There has been too much peace en-
tlrely In Congress for the common
good. This last session has been a
model educator of the common herd
OF lambs that have been led to the
financial slaughter through the sharp
practice and violated promises of our
so-called statesmen. Turn on the
hight.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-08-17

Nothing but the firm and deter
mined attitude of President Cleveland,
assisted by very few members of
the House of Representatives, has
avoided the further infliction of the
Mckinley tariff upon the consumers
of America. To defeat all tariff re =
formation whatever was no doubt tn e
sole aim and purpose of the combines
but they overreached themselves.
AS to harder times under the re.
formation secured, the time between
the present and the next Presidential
election is sufficient to determine it.
If they prove to be any worse than we
have been having our trusts and COM
pines can easily find special favor
again no doubt with the use of Ii tile
time and money upon the ways and
means committees.

AT LAST AT LAST !

The tariff agony was settled after
a fashion on Monday evening, at
o'clock, when the Senate bill was final
ly accepted and passed by the House.
This was not because of the superiority
of the Senate bill, but because it was
just that or nothing with the represen-
tatives of the people seeking better
times through tariff reformation.
1t is great relief to friends and
enemies of tariff reformation to know
that something, at least, has been done
through which there is some hope of
enliyening the hard times OF the Nc
Kinley tariff.
1t now remains to be seen what
effect free sugar, coal, iron, and many
other things among the necessary
commodities of life will have upon the
pocket-books of the consuming classes.
Though the bill as passed is not
satisfactory to true representatives Of
the masses, or to President Cleveland
or to Chairman Wilson, still it is said
to be better than the obnoxious Nc
klnley tariff law, SO favorable to the
classes and so ruinous to the masses.
Of course sarcastic comments from
Republicans hoping for no tariff legis-
lation whatever were made and ex.
pected. Reed could not resist the
chance to speak of the back-down of
the House, while Burroughs asserted
that Chairman Wilson had been de.
serted by his party, &c. After consid-
cradle Republican and Democratic
expression in opposition to the Senate
bill Speaker Crisp closed the debate.
Assuming full responsibility for what
the House was about to do in acced-
ing to the terms of the Senate bill he
said it was done in the best interest of
tariff reform that deserters from the
cause were not the conferees that his
attitude was to seek some relief for a
suffering public. We believe, said he,
in the homely adage that "when the
people are starving half loaf is better
than no bread
Referring to the matter Of trusts.
Mr.. Crisp said if there were any in
this country, they had been created
by the Republican party, and while
the bill did not uproot them as he
wished it did, it did reduce the rates
of duty on articles controlled by them
nifty per cent. =" Going through these
schedules" said Mr.. Crisp, in conclu.
sion, "wlilst they are not all we wish,
they are the best that we can now get.
The moment we get this, we intend to
move forward we do not intend there
shall be any backward step in tariff
reform. We believe that the adjourn
ment of this congress without the pass
age of some tariff bill would be blow
to tariff reform from which it would
not recover for years to come"

Financial.

There is quite difference of opin-
ion among Treasury officials, it seems,
as to the probabilities of another bond
issue. While the Secretary of the
Treasury is not willing to admit that
there is any great cause for alarm
about our financial affairs, the
$50, 900, 900 bond-issue is likely spok-
en- of through the wish which is so
often the parent of the thought, rather
than because of any positive and dis.
interested knowledge about the abso,
lutte necessity for it. Notwithstanding
the gold reserve has reached low-water
mark it is nevertheless contended that
the Government is better able to-day
to meet its obligations than it was
prior to the February bond issue. In
no instance is there any feeling o.
insecurity. And under normal condi
tions the Government is now gaining
at the rate of about $Ioo, 900 IN gold
a day. Even under the recent dis
turbed condition it is claimed there
has been no marked change from thai
rule. There are those, however, who
take less hopeful view of affairs, ane
who argue the necessity for a new
bond issue, because the sugar industr,
and the whiskey industry are nov
prepared to worry along some 81,
months with the supply they have OF
hand.

Yes, times will likely be harder
now--that is harder for our trusts and
combines, but vastly better for the
masses. We take it for granted, how
ever, that our fostered trusts and COM
bines are rich enough to stand the
pressure and still escape the poor
house. The trouble is they have grown
too rich under the special and foster
ing care they have always received at
the hands of the Republican party.

The anti-tariff reformers of the
Senate while seeming to have scored
victory, have in reality suffered a
double defeat. First their own amend
ments to the House bill were not
such as they wanted nor such as the
House wanted and therefore they
hoped for the Mckinley law in prefer
ence. Their second and more serious
defeat is in their lost prestige with
their people at large.

The waiting ofour national Congress
until there is severe storm raging before
they attempt to amend their obstruc-
tive rules and regulations, or before
attempting to so amend them as to
compel and keep quorum and pre-.
vent fillibustering in the interest OF
speedy legislation, reminds us of the
historical Arkansas character who
gave as reason for not fixing his
ieaky roof that he could not fix it
during a storm, and when it did not
rain his roof was all right and needed
no fixing.

We have members now in the
United States Senate who will likely
remember their actions with some
remorse of conscience in the near
future, or as fast as their terms expire.
This would certainly be the case il
the people could reach them directly.
But indirectly they may and many of
them will be reached.

Glasses Versus Masses.

1t may take as long to pass the Viii.
son tariff bill as it did to pass the Nc
Kinley bill. AS rule, it is more diff
cult to secure legislation favoring the
masses than it is to secure legislation
in favor OF the classes. The classes
are clamoring and persistent the
masses stay quietly at home and think.

WHERE'S THE UNKNOWN?

James Oakley, alias Oakford, the race
track follower. charged with completely
in the robbery of j. s. Mcdonald in a
Br Jadway saloon last Monday morning,
was held for trial in jefferson Market
Court this morning.
Mcdonald testified that late Monday
night he went with Abraham Fink to
"A saloon near the corner of Broadway
and Thirtyfourth street. He had a
roll Of about Sl.o0o in bills in his
all the evening and kept up the amuse-
ment il the saloon.
There were three men, one OF whom
was Oakley, at II neighboring table.
They made some uncomplimentary re
mark. and Mcdonald grew so demon
him ont. lie returned and was again
thrown out BY Oakley and all unknown
man
In the struggle the unknown man
ned. Mcdonald waited about the front
door until daylight. when he found no
one but Fink and the bartender there,
and he had Fink arrested.
The case against Fink was imperfect
and was dismissed yesterday.
Oakley entered a general denial and
declared hat Mcdonald was drunk and
exhibiting his money so carelessly that
1t was probable he lost it or might have
been robbed at any time or anywhere
during tn. night
John Stantse. the bartender, testified
that Mcdonald was intoxicated and un-
ruly and that he saw no robbery.
The interesting point how the crowd
escaped from the saloon without
leaving by the front door was not
1t. but would not talk.
The "unknown'' is still at large.

Mr.. ANDREWS AND THE scoWs
Proposition to Buy Those Owned
by the Barney Company.
Board OF Estimate Not Enthusiastic
Over the Scheme.

The Board of Estimate to-day consid-
cred the matter of disposing Of street
garbage. The Barney Dumping Com
pany made proposition to sell its fleet
of patented dumping scows to the city
for s35O,OOO. There are thirteen OF these
scows, costing $4,000 each. II the city
bought the scows 1t would mean that
s2Oo00o was paid TO the Company for its
patent. The scows are now rented by
the city at a cost of $4,000 a year, and
Commissioner Andrews figured out a
great saving to the city in five years If
the purchase was made. AS the city
will probably not continue to dump gar
base at sea the investment might not
prove so profitable. The members of the
Board were not enthusiastic over the
matter, either, and as matter OF form
referred the subject to a committee con-
sistins of Comptroller Fitch and Presi-
dent Barker, OF the Tax Department.
on recommendation Of Commissioner
OF Public Works DAILY, Thomas c. Clark
was employed as supervising engineer
of the bridge to be constructed over tn.
Harlem from First avenue and One
Hundred and Thirtieth street to Willis
avenue on the north side. Mr.. Clark
will prepare the plans and make sound
ings for the bridge. The engineers COM
pensation will be per cent. Of the cost
Of the structure, which is estimated at
$2,00O,00O.
The sum of $4,000 was transferred
from various accounts under the Mill
ion dollar appropriation for park i'm
provements to enable the Park Board
to gravel walks in Central Park and to
finish the Riverside Park retaining wall
above Ninety-sixth street.
