Now that the President has got over
his "prostration" and returned tc Wash
ington, it is hoped, for the good OF the
country, that he may sign the tariff
bill at once, and thereby not only re-
move the suspense from which the bus
mess of the whole land has suffered SO
long, but put stop to the enormous
profits the sugar and whisky trusts are
making by his unfortunate delay in do
ing so. OF course by signing it ne Will
become party to measure OF "periidy
and dishonor," but as ne may have ut
tered these words in anger, and as the
country needs rest, he had better
make a virtue of necessity. To do so
will not require any deliberation, for
that he is perfectly familiar with all
the provisions of the bill, is proved by
his famous letter to Mr.. Wilson, and
then. too. if the bill shall have injuri-
Gus effects, he will be no more respon-
sible therefor if it bear his name, than
if he shall allow it TO become law
without MS signature.

able that the President will allow the
tariff bill to become law without his
signature, but it is more probable that
he will sign the bill, and do it to-day,
and l expect him to send a message to
Congress stating his objections. | am
we'll satisfied with the bill because it
gives my State duty of 40 per cent on
coal and iron, against IS in the Nc
Kinley act. | believe the new bill suits
Virginia. would like to see the SUI
gar trust differential tax of one-eighth
per cent. taken off, but as we have to
do the best we can, am satisfied. Con-
gress will adjourn as soon as the bill is

Mixing Religion and Politics

CHICAGO, Aug. pa call is being
circulated in Indianapolis for State
mass meeting to be held iu Chicago to
organize a good citizenship political
party. The Christian Endeavor with
its $4,000 members the Epworth
League with 10000 members, and the
Baptist Young Peoples union with per-
haps 10000 members have recently
gone into the movement. The effort Of
the party will be to secure persons in
dependent in politics who are willing
to fight every saloon man that may be
nominated on any ticket of the regular
party. That the party will overwhelm
and swallow up the'prohibition party is
not doubted. 1t is also believed that
the Catholic church with all its socie-
ties will be brought in union with the
Ptotestants OH this question, as it is in
direct accord with the proclamation OF
Bishop Watterson against Catholics in
the saloon traffic.

SOME OF THE ill-informed Virginians
who joined the mugwumps and anti
snappers in denouncing the German
bill, evidently didn't know that both
the Virgins Senator'S and all Of her
Representatives voted for that bill, and
also, that they all voted against the
free coal provision Of the Wilson bill,
and that if the latter bill had become q
law. instead OF the reduction OF fifty
per cent, every cent of protection
would have been removed from Vir-
GINA coal, while the New England
manufactures, made by burning such
coal, would have been protected, So the
author of that bill said, with forty
per cent. duty. a protective tariff is
unconstitutional, it is robbery; but as

ginia should be allowed small share
OF the swag, and not be compelled to
see the whole of it so TO the rich North
ern States.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Not since
the Grand Army encampment of 1892
has Washington made such prepara-

One feature of the encampment will
be the marching aud counter marching
of the Pythian companies on Pennsyl-

is made possible by the ample width OF

THE GoRMAN tariff bill is at least a
step in the light direction, and if it shall
become law, the country may be as
sured that that step will never be re-
traced, and that every succeeding one
will be in the same direction-toward
free trade, that is as long as the coun-
try shall remain free. How there
ever should have been any other sort
of trade except free trade, in free
country, is hard question for lovers Of
free institutions to answer, for there
are many other ways by which reve-
nue. can be collected than by customs.
