A Bill That Never Passed.

Congressman sometimes adopt queer ex-
pedients to gain the good will of their con-
stituents. Years ago a member from a
western state was very much afraid he
would be knocked out in the approaching
campaign. He had not managed to make
himself a power in congress, In fact, his
constituents had never heard of him doing
anything besides voting with his party
when his name was called and drawing
his salary. He was desperate. Something
must be done to please his people at home
or he would be buried out Of sight, A
bright young woman to whom he had de-
scribed his troubles said to him:
"You live near the center Of the United
States, don't your"
"Yes.''
''Then why don't you introduce bill to
have the capitol moved to the principal
town in your districts''
1.-THE very thing"
And he introduced the bill. 1t worked
to charm. The people Of his district at
once concluded he was great man and
with much enthusiasm sent him back for
another term, SO that he might press his
removal bill and SECURE its passage. In
the next congress he reintroduced the same
measure, and though it was promptly pi-
geonholed in the committee room, and OF
course he never got a chance to make a
speech on it, his people stood by him and
gave him third term as reward for his
genius. -Washington Cor. Philadelphia

punity. The motives of both are about
equally unworthy. A President has no
right to use the appointing power which
is lodged in him by the constitution to
pay off political grudges any more than
he has to use it to reward persons who
have contributed literally for his cleo
ton. Neither has senator any more
right to use the power which his position
in the Senate gives him for a like pur-
pose The selection of Peckham is OBJ
Jectionable on a ground similar to that
which made Van Aliens appointment
Objectionable, namely, that the good
of the public service was not the
hrst consideration in bringing it
about. To be sure Peckham is we'll
enough fitted for the bench, but
SO was Van Allen for the Italian mission.
In the latter case the people looked be-
yond Van Aliens qualifications and con-
demned his selection because there was
reason to believe that it was due to his
generous assistance in electing Mr..
Cleveland. They will also be likely to
look beyond the qualifications of Peck.
ham and condemn his selection because
there is reason to believe that it is due
largely to his personal services to the
President in opposing Hill. The bulk of
the people are therefore likely to main
tain in the coming fight between the
President and Hill an attitude of i'm
partiality, caring little which Is victori-
GUS or which defeated. There is no dan
ger that the court will suffer from Peck
hams confirmation, for he is undoubted-
ly a competent man for the place, nor is
there any danger that it will suffer from
his rejection, for he is not conspieuously
fit above all others who can be selected.
Of course the thick and thin supporters
of the President will attempt to create
the impression that the President is stand
ing in this contest for some great prip-
ciple, but we are inclined to think that
the public will fail to see in it any great
er or more worthy principle than that of
having his own way and Furnishing his
enemies. That being the case, they are
not likely to become much stirred.

The Boston Herald, which not long
ago thought the income tax proposition
was not to be treated seriously, now adj
mits that the vote on the sugar duty in
the House indicates that the income tax
men are strong in that body. The Her
aid is undoubtedly right. The income
tax is looming up as a very serious
probability. With sugar OH the free list
it is almost a necessity if the Democrats
are gsing to make any provision at all
for the treasury deficiency which the
Wilson bill will surely cause.

EXPENSIVE LETTERS.
Quarters of Century-.What Railroads

1t is easily within the memory of many
persons now living that letters were
sent through the mail without being
enclosed IN envelopes, without.the use of
postage stamps and without the postage
being prepaid. The writer took single
sheet OF paper, wrote upon one side,
folded it dexterously, sealed it with wax,
directed it and sent it along. The
paper, III variety of shades, but usual
ly blue, was often, in fact, usually IN
ruled, so that an opportunity was given
to write closely and condense as much as
possible into the space allotted for a
single letter

The Louisiana sugar planters are very
much stirred up over the vote of the
House against the sugar bounty, and for
placing sugar on the free list They
say that it will ruin the sugar indus try
in their State and turn many thousands
out of work. Very likely what they say
is true, and it must be admitted that
they have a mu Oh better right to COM
plain than do their brethren of the South
who are kicking because iron and coal
are placed on the free list. The latter
voted for a kind of tariff which
would almost inevitably relegate
coal and iron to the free list, be-
cause they are articles which are pro-
duced very largely in this country
and are therefore not such as would be
put upon the dutiable list in tariff
constructed on the revenue theory. With
sugar the case is different. A very large
part of the sugar consumed in this coun.
try is imported, and very little compare
lively raised at home. Therefore under
the revenue-only theory sugar is proper
subject for duty. 1t can be said then
that the Louisiana sugar growers in vot-
ing for revenue tariff had good reason
to believe that they were voting for a
tariff on sugar. The mistake that
they made was in believing
that the Democratic platform meant
what it said, and would .be lived up to.
The real basis which underlies tariff con.
stru ction in the Democratic party is
votes, not revenue. Sugar is not put on
the dutiable list because it is feared that
1T would ALLEVIATE more votes than would
the opposite policy. When the vote
theory and the economic theory coincide.
as they are supposed to in the case OF
coal, iron and wool, then the party is
true to it's economic theory, but when
they are antagonistic, as in the case OF
sugar, then the economic theory is aban

India councils policy in closing the
mints to free silver coinage is a failure.
This is very significant, .inasmuch as the
Times warmly supported the step at the

whether it has been wisely exerted in
driving silver out of the monetary sys-
