Since President CLEVELAND. after a per-
sistently vindictive uso Of tho common
spoils Of politics, has deliberately chosen
tho Supreme Court IA field for finally
forcing n contest between himself and the
Senators from tho State Of New York. IL is
worth while to examine critically the record
for the ten months which be has served Of
his second term.
Mr.. CLEvELASDs distribution OF the
offices In New York shows nothing on his
part but All unremittiug effort TO antngo-
nze and tn injuro Senators Hill and MUIR
PLY. representing the Democratic party OF
the State. and nothing on the part Of tho
Senators but a rigorous refusal to DO drawn
into light for spoils. Every place at the
Presidents disposal has been filed with u
private or public enemy OF the regular
Democratic organization. There was grim
humor In Senator HILL 5 statement that he
was "unawed by Federal patronage when
he s.omned the tide OF compromise sitting
In against the repeal OF the SHERMAN Silver
law. There was no patronage for him at
ALL Aud yet every New York man hitherto
named by Mr.. CLEVELAND for a political
Office In or out Of New York has been con-
tlrmed without u murmur.
The New York Senators were silent when
BIssFLL. Republican as against the
New York Democracy. and LAMONT. Mr..
CLEvELANps personal secretary. entered
the Cabinet. Judge KILBRETH walked into
the Collectors chair OF this port without q
sign OF opposition. Even smiling Boz MAN
WELL. one of the most venomous enemies
senator HILL ever had. was put into
tue powerful office OF Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General. the ADMINISTRATORS
High Chief Executioner. Yet MAXWELL was
confirmed. There has been no shadow Of
contest raised by New York's Senators over
the question OF political patronage. The
outrage of Mr.. CLEvELASD's treatm OF
them Inns been borne privately with indig-
nation. but publicly without remonstrance.
But when the President undertook as in
Mr.. uORSBTowER's case, to prostitute the
highest Federal Court to his thirst for
malice. by naming Il friend whose fitness
for Il seat in it had neither been demon
stratad by services on the bench nor by any
commanding record at tho har. the New
York Senators threw or their reserve and
put forward in defence Of the dignity of the
Supreme Court. both tho unlitness Of the
nominee aud their prerogative rs Senators.

To appreciate the Young Kings motive
for summaTiIy dismissing Ministry which
was backed l,y n large majority OF the
national assembly, We should recall the
Affiliations of the several political par
ties IN Servia. These parties are known
as the ProgTessives. the Liberals. AMI the
Radicals. The Progressives ara rro-Aus-
trian. and the Radicals pro-Russian In their
sympathies. The Liberals profess To be sim
gle-hearted in their devotion To the national
interests, aud in theory. rcpudiate foreign
influence from any quarter; but. as they
have had long-standing and bitter quarrel
with the Radicals. they are forced for self
protection 10 cooperate with the Progress

counted on the Austrian side. The

A True Revenue Tariff.

Our able Western contemporary. the kda-
sds City Times. has suggestive dennition
OF what Il thinks would constitute a tariff
for revenue only. according TO tho Demo-
cratic platform laid down in Chicago:
IN. way 10 r.ses revenus from imports for the
surport Of the Government - II levy an import 'aE
spsn those atics' which are certain TO yieit ravs
sue Atadd foy fsvsnus IL, therefore, tsrH levied
upup stea articles as are mOst widely aud generally
ussi by peaps snt shtch nat produced In this
.ountty IN sufhesnt quantities TO supply orr nsedI"
The opposite Of tariff for revenue only
IL tariff for the protection Of certain spcci-
fed branches Of production. and this Is most
emphatically condemned by the Chicago
platform as unconstitutional aud unjust.
It Is unconstitutional ms the platform tells
us, because tho Constitution nowhere
authorizes or justilles It; and II Ia unjust
because It taxes the many who consume
the protected goods. for the benefit OF the
few who make them.
We invite our Kansas contemporary to
notice that the sort uf tariff which II de-
fines. would likewise be open to the charge
OF injustice. because 1t would tax those
who consume duty-pnying goods. for tho
benefit OF those who consume other goods
that are admitted free of duty.
An American. Democratic. revenue tariff
cannot properly be- framed on the pattern
OF an English arstocratlc revenue tariff.
An American tariff must lay its burden
equally upon all imported goods. or 1t will
not lay the burden so as TO bear alike
upon all the people. All imports must 10
taxed equally by revenue tarifI. or the
noble principle Of tho Chicago platform
will be violated and put to open shame.
