lVRS WILLIAMS.

II was a remarkable thing to hear Hen.
~ NJ. Wins at the Commercial Club last
Saturday night m Providence. one would
really think that be was quitea ehsppie
and not a disappoited politician. lie nriv-
elled over the aWfuluess OF the political
situation in New York city but did not
say word about the reasons for his own
turning down. The general public knows
what he WGs bounced for. For incompe-
tency, arrogance, chicanery and igno.
rance Of practical affairs, Mr.. Wins never
had an equal even in New York. lie was
as competent TO care for his Office as
ten year. old schoolboy would be 20 take
charge Of Brown University. lie made
one or two hiialuting speeches and that
city put him on throne Of power and he
as about as capable OF running his Office
40 he aforesaid school boy would be to
govern Brown University.
Then the late A. NJ. Williams, former
ly OF the journal, spoke OF the slums In
politics and thought that they should be
disiranchlsed. Mr.. a. NJ. Williams meant
that the Democrats who work for living
and keep sober and vote according TO
conscience and not for ten or fifteen
thousand dollars for liquor dealers ad-
vertisements coming on the repeal OF a
prohibition law, as the paper he knows
Of dic do, should be deprived ota vote.
Mr.. A. NJ. Williams has to procsrious
a footing 10 stand on TO talk OF "slum-
voters" Not even so good as a marble
top table.
when Mr. Ivins will explain why hc Is
mad tor being turned down ia New York
by tho people, not by Iammany, ard
when Mr.. Williams can explain why hC is
80 well acquainted with the "slums," the
people may listen to these dyspeptic and
disappointed man who throw stones from
very brittle glass houses.

THE DEBATE

This is he fourth week Of debate I'm The
Senate on The poudiugtarh bill, and with
II comes an era Of uncertainty that Is
causing the Senators lu charge 81 the
measure much uncasine-s. The change
from general debate 90 consideration
by paragraphs, simply bro8tcns the field
of debate and enhances opportunity for
the consumption Of time. It IL the inn
possibility OF toreseeing just where the
discussion will lead 10 that is causing the
managers OF the bill much worry. The
attitude OF the Republicans during the
past week has not been encouraging, for
il has made conspicuous the fact that the
Republican minority considers any means
justifable TO prevent final action on the
tariff measure. Influenced by this situa-
tion the tariff leaders are almost certain
10 make an effort very soon 70 force their
bill over the shoal water In the Senate
even IL part u the cargo is sacrificed in
doing so. The most optimistic assert con-
fidently that some sort OF bul will go
through both Houses OF Congress and De
signed by The President. They do not 60
into particulars as TO what sort Of a bill II
will be, but insist that "the bill" is sure
TO pass.

COXEYs ROAD SCHEME.

With the strongest possible inclination
10 believe General" CoXey sincere in his
aims, one cannot help wondering II he
really believes that a grand road building
scheme, 10 employ all the idle men nov
tramping up and down the lana, at a fixed
rate OF wages, and for a long period, is
feasible? lie must be gittoc with suili-
cIent insight to perceive the overwhelm-
ing difficulties inherent in such an enter
prise. Would such men as he Is taking
along with him 10 Washington work at
sl.5Oa day, or at q, 800 cay2 Would they
work at all2 Their past records-with a
few honorable excoptIons-seem to prove
the contrary. And would the General
Government be able TO handle with salts
faction to the jealous sovereign States"
through which these roads would run all
the delicate financial details Of 40 vast an
enterprise? Has CoxCy thought cut all
these points?

PUSH ON IAR!EE REEnRMl

The intoriection OF the Hawaiian busi.
ness in the Senate tins week, with view
oi still more grievously delaying the
Tariff bill, is a trick which the people
will know how TO resent at the proper
time. When seventy millions OF people
see the revival OF their business delayed
by such an expcdient az this--the in
vention OF three or four political trick
sters-they may be pardoned for angrily
expressing their disgust.
There is nothing in the attitude oi the
Administration which calls for fresh
onslaught upon il about Hawaii.
Then let the Aourishers OF war clubs In
the Senate be sat upon AS they deserve;
and let Democrats carry out the policy Of
tariff reform, as the President adjures
them to do.
