THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

a well-infOTmed politician who is in the
habit of figuring closely thinks it probable
that the next Senate will be tied as be-
tween Democrats and Republicans, and
that the Populists will hold the balance of
power. Giving the Republicans every Leg
islature they can expect to elect, and as
suming that each Republican Legislature
will elect Republican Senator, that party
can only secure in the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress fOrty-three Senators as the States
now stand. In fact, the Republicans will
do pretty well to increase their mum Der
from thirty-fve to forty-three. 1t is not
clear that the control of the Senate will do
much good during the Cleveland admins
tration. If the Wilson tariff bill becomes
law il will stand through Mr.. Cleveland's
time whether the Republicans have a ma
jority In the Senate or not. If three or
four Democrats cannot be found now to
prevent the passage Of the bill, there is no
reason TO hope that in the next Congress
enough will vote with the Repu blicans to
overcome veto. But the election of every
Republican that can be elected becomes of
the utmost importance with the succeeding
Congress in view. The party in each Re-
publican State should select an IN objec-
tionable candidate and conduct the cam
paign with the understanding that the
control of The Senate in 1897 may depend
upon the election of Republican Legisla-
furp.

THE EX-QUEEN IN STRAITS.

MI. Davies, the guardian of the young
lady known as the Princess Kaiulani. saws
the ex-Queen is in financial straits. Be-
tween two administrations she seems to
nave fallen 10 the ground. The Harrison
administration would have allowed her
comfortable income had the annexation OF
the Islands been effected. and would also
have given the Princess enough to make
lie easy to her in the islands or else
where. But the Cleveland administration
undertook to restore the Queen to her
throne. and failed as completely as the
preceding administration failed in its an
nexation policy. At present the ex-Queen
is in position to ask, Where am / and
what am / here FORE"

SENATOR HILL IN CONFERENCE.

A day or two after the Senate Finance
Committee turned their bill over to the
Senate. number of New York merchants
held conference with Senator Hill.
Their first objection to the bill was the
income-tax clause. The Senator did not
mold out much hope of defeating the in.
come tax without defeating the bill. He
was inclined to think several Southern and
Western votes would be lost if the Senate
left out that clause. The conference was
mainly important in the statement Mr.. Hill
made of his tariff principle. II am" he
said, "in favor of a tariff high enough to
enable American manufacturers to conn.,
pete with foreigners so far as the difference
in wages is concerned" Mr.. Hill did not
follow up this statement of principle with
the remark. Il am a Democrat" Neither
did he try to reconcile his tariff platform
with that adopted at Chicago. The num-
Der of Democrats who still hold that a
protective tariff is unconstitutional can be
counted on ones fingers.

THE RUssO-GERMAN TREATY.

Consul. General Moran of Frankfort has
given the State Department some points
as to the effect of the Russo German
treaty upon grain shipments from the
United States. In 1892 Germany, acting
in response TO American offers of recipro-
city. placed the United States in the class
OF most favored nations. reducing the duty
on American Wheat from S12 TO IS SO per
ton, and Oh American -four from S25 yer
ton to SIT. Russian wheat was on the
general tariff list paying So per ton on
wheat aud SIS per ton on -four. The new
Treaty puts Russia among the favored
nations with the United States. Last year
the United States furnished Germany
with 314.9 2S tons, nearly half of all that
was imported. This year Russia will be
on even terms with the United States. 1t
probably does not make much difference
whether particular nation gets its supply
from some other particular nation or
whether it draws from the general supply,
What wheat Russia did not ship to Ger
many last year in consequence of adverse
discrimination in duties was thrown into
the general market The condition which
affects prices is the relation of supply and
demand the world over. If the whole
supply increases more rapidly than the
whole demand, prices will decline and
vice versa. The point the wbeat-gro wer
should keep his eye Cd is Argentina. That
is the country in which the supply may be
most largely increased.

IN MUCH TROUBLE.

The New York Herald is great news
paper. 1t has correspondents all over the
globe whose orders are TO get the news
without regard to cost. Probably there is
no other newspaper in the world which so
completely covers the news field. But
with all its reach in respect TO news it is
local In its editorial opinions. The only
cities it seems to consider as centers OF
intelligence are Paris. London and New
York. These cities it assumes TO DO the
thinking for the rest of the world. In
consequence of this concentrated mental
view the Herald is often out of harmony
with the country in which it is printe
For example, during the past FIVE months
it has been trying to convince CONGRESS
that the people were hungry for popular
loan. 1t wanted the loan large enough to
absorb the savings of the poorer classes.
1t advanced the idea that the more the
Government owed the better for the
country so that the debt was held at home.
The Herald was sagacious enough to COM
prehend early in the administration of
MI. Cleveland that it was only by borrow.
ing largely the treasury could provide
gold for export to Europe and for re-.
demption purposes. The repeal of the
silver-purchasing clause in the Sherman
act made the Herald happy. The propo.
sition to coin the silver bullion purchased
under that act makes it correspondence
wretched. In its agony 1t strikes right
and left at the Democratic party, Presi.
dent Cleveland and Congress. We give an
example of the Heralds style when 1t is
real mad:
Last summer, when. as result of the silver.
