According to the political prog
nostications telegraphed from Wash
ington last night the Senate will
to-day resent what it is pleased to
regard as an attack on its dignity,
by replying to the letter of President
Cleveland to Chairman Wilson. It
matters little what the Senate may
say or do, because it has sunk in
public estimation to the level of a
municipal council, and the country
now sneers at its snide dignity.
The majority of Democrats in the
Senate are good and true men, but
they are in the power of corrupt
cabal that has disgraced the body
OF which they are members. The
President has denounced the
sreachery of this cabal, and if there
is to be fight between it and the
administration the people will be
found on the side of the President.

The Henpeel1ed Husbands Revolt
After Ten Years Servitude.

The strange sight of respectfully dressed
man kneeling at the base of Lincoln's statue
attracted the attention of park guard the
other evening at the foot of Lemon Hill, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Stealthily con-
ccaling himself behind some shrubbery, the
guard waited for the outcome of the strange
scene being enacted before him. The
strangers hands were folded across his
breast, and the electric light revealed tear
stained face, upturned as if pleading for
some favor from the bronze form of the great
man that lowered above him. His words
were muttered in meek voice, and were
unintellig1ble to the years of the astonished
guard. After remaining on his knees for a
few moments the man arose and started
toward the lighthouses. s'11old on there, !"
shouted the guard, as he rushed out of the
shrubbery and grabbed the meek looking
stranger.

He is himself of the commune, and
of exceedingly humble parentage.
He began life as page in the
Senate of which he is now a member,

and trusted agent of the millionaires
pises the common people. 1t is

The entire newspaper press of the
country has condemned in unmis-
taxable terms the mob law and vio-
1ence that accompanied the late
strike in the West, and, with very
few exceptions, condemned Pullman
with equal force for unreasonable
obstinacy. Now that the strike is
over, the action of federal Judge
in sending Debs and associates to
jail on supplemental charge will
appear to a liberty-loving American
public as unwise, unjust, and as cal
culated to again arouse the fires of
hatred between the railroads and
the men.

After several months Of discussion
lin both Houses of Congress, the
srariff problem is stu unsoived-
The Wilson bill as It originally
passed the House of representatives
was generally admitted by all sound
Democrats as being too radical in
some of it's provisions, and bearing
| in its main features the lineaments of
free trade. After mutual conces-
sions by the grave and reverend
seigniors, the senate amended the
Wilson bill almost beyond recogni-
ton, and injected into it the worst
elements of Mr.. Kinleyism. Under
the requirements of the constitution
the bill as amended was returned to
the House for concurrence, but the
House refused to concur and as a
logical result committee of con-
ference was appointed, who have
in hand the delicate task of adjust
ing the differences existing between
the senate and the House ON the
Tariff question. At this juncture,
Mr.. Cleveland, in a clear, vigorous
and manly letter addressed to Mr..
Wilson, the author of the bill, OBJ
jects to the measure as not being in
consonance with the true doctrine
of the Democratic party. He does
not approve that part of the bill
which places duty on coal and iron
and which, according to his con-
stru ction of heChicago platform, he
contends, should be put on the free
list. He observes, however, that
sugar is dutiable article according
to the principles of the Democratic
party. We think the President is
correct in the position that he has
taken. In our humble opinion it
has always been a cardinal principle
OF the Democratic party to impose
a just and fair duty on sugar for the
purpose of raising revenue to defray
the ordinary expenses necessary to
run the government. We are glad
to note the stand taken by the
President on this subject. Louis
lana is deeply interested in the tariff
and we now have good reasons to
believe that no bill will be finally
passed unless it provides for just
and reasonable duty on sugar as a
means of raising revenue, to meet
the legitimate expenses of the gov
eminent, which has always been
recognized as a principle of the
Democratic party.
