Il will be more than two years before the
next national council Of the Democracy. but
We observe that certain ambitious Western
towns arc already discussing the interest
ing question OF locality.
Kansas City wants the Convention. San
Francisco would DO willing to take It. Chi
cago hasn't spoken yet. but on general prtn-
ciples IL may be assumed that she. too.
wants IT, she wants all she can get.
whether another National Convention Of
the Democratic party shall ever be held in
Chicago depends on what Is done In Wash
ington before the end OF the present session
OF Congress. The enactment Of the CLEvE-
LAND-WILsoN protective tariff scheme
means good-by forever to Chicago. 1t is
Uncomfortable that a political organization
not utterly lost to shame would dare. under
the circumstances. to show itself again in
that town and go through the farcical cere-
mony Of adopting another Chicago plat
form" to offer to the voters as Its pro-
gramme and its pledge.
II. In addition to this. the Democratic Con-
gress and the Democratic Administration
succeed in loading the Democracy with the
responsibility for the Populistic income tar.
as demanded by the Populists In their
Omaha platform. then the next National
Convention OF the party should be held. not
at Omaha. as might be supposed. but in the
heart Of the Dismal Swamp.
Tho dismalest corner discovered in tho
Dismal Swamp by the Violet explorers
would be the proper place for that function.

XIII the Robert

To kill the income tax, the robbeT Astride
OF the WILSON bill, Is the one paramount
duty Of Democratic Senators who are DEM
Ocrats in fact. Club or shotgun, rapier or
knife, no matter what instrument. so long
as the deed Is done. Any measure Of OBJ
struction or destruction is legitimate.
though it involve the fate OF the plebald
creature on which the robber rides.
That would be true II the tariff part Of the
WILSON bill were the ne plus ultra OF en-
hghtened statesmanship. the last word OF
honest Democratic principle. The best tariff
bill ever framed might well be doomed to
death IL the sacrifice necessary in order
To be rid OF this iniquitous Populistic
attachment, made its inseparabIe. No con-
alteration OF the immediate success or fail
ure of tariff reform could Justify Democrats
who are squarely opposed To the Income
tax In voting into existence the greater
evil for the sake OF the lesser good.
Fortunately for the consciences OF the
more squeamsh. a delicate balancing of
consequences is not required. There is no
question OF risking or sacrificing a good
Democratic tari1 in order TO defeat an in
famous socialistic income tax. The tariff
measure tied up with the income tax salts
lies nobody except its weak and fussy
authors. Il Is not respectable protective
tariff. for the protection it Affords is a mat
ter OF section and Of favoritism. 1t is not a
constitutional tariff. for 1t perpetuates I'M
constitutional protection. II Is not tariff

grade are retired on half the sea ray Of
the existing grade.
These two systems Of change. one In the
numbers Of the grades and the other in
voluntary and forced retirement, will. In
the view Of the Secretary. secure sufficient
promotion. without the more radical meas
ures OF selection and other plans that have
from time 10 time been suggested. Indeed
the most noticeable feature OF the Secre-
tary's project, as IL seems TO US, IL it's con-
sentative holding on 10 the existing eys-
TEN OF promotion by seniority. Other
plans have proposed the substitution OF
promotion by selection. at least in two Of
the command grades: but 30 much oppo-
sition was excited against this innovation.
on the ground OF its possibilities OF
favoritlsm. that although 1t has long
been familiar in the English navy.
the Secretary seems to desire to accom-
plish his purposes without resort to It.
There is. TO be sure. q system OF selection
for retirement. which might also be open TO
charges Of prejudice. but that is not quite
the same thing as jumping an officer over
many OF his comrades, and 1t is re-
garded rather as q necessity in bringing
about that flow OF promotion which is In the
common interest. The provision that not
more than thirty-nve Ensigns shall be ap-
pointed from the Naval Academy Rradu-
ates in any one year will help to keep down
future congestions OF the list.
Summed up briefly. the general results
expected may be considered as. first. an
immediate and abundant series OF promo
lions due to the increase In numbers OF the
higher grades: aecOndly an annual in
crease OF promotions above the grade OF
Lieutenant: thirdly. rising to command
rank at an earlier period OF life. and conse-
quently remaining longer In the higher
grades. All this must increase the expense
OF the navy. but only by $4,000 at first. 1t
Is believed. and with reductions thereafter.
AS TO the proposed staff changes. those will
be considered. and. we presume. embodied
in the bill which the Commission will even-
tually report to Congress.
