voted to study by his friends on the other
side of the chamber, he thought at the

bill which would be perfectly acceptable
to the Republicans and which would pass
the senate unanimously. The senate
seemed to enjoy the playful joke.
When Mr.. Morrill, took his seat Sena-
tor Quay (Pa.) appeared from behind his

CAN'T STAND UNCERTAINTl



LONDON, March 23.-The Times today
prints leading editorial on American
politics The particular occasion for
this revise is dispatch from the Times
correspondent at PHILADELPHIA during
which the latter says.
ssIhe wave of enthusiasm which elect
ed President Cleveland has ebbed So fast
owing to universal revulsion of sentiment
against the Incompetence and misman-
agement of the Democratic leaders. that.
were elections to occur now, the Repub-
icans would gain a signal victory. Pres
Ident Cleveland is less Dlamable than
the victim of circumstances beyond his
control"
ln the course of she editorial referred
to the Times says.
s'lf the Americans have reason to APP
prehend a worse state of affairs from
the continuance of the Democrats i'm
power than they have experienced under
the Republicans. the situation must be
gloomy indeed
eve think, however that # Is rather
the intolerance and deplorable vacilIa-
ton of the Democrats in dealing with
the tariff and similar questions than the
belief that the Republicans would do
better than before. Americans know
how to accept dead loss and to start
afresh. What they cannot tolerate is
the prevalence of the uncertainty which
obstructs the revival of trade.
