THE TARIFF DEBATE.

the absentee Democrats who showed
their recreancy to dnty and party fealty,
The House OF Representatives last Mon
day was enabled to introduce the Wilson
tariff bill for debate. The, opening
speech was made by Hon. William Z.
Wilson, the author Of the bill, and he
made an eloquent and vigorous explana~
ton and defense Of his measure He re-
ferred to the Mckinley bill as pension
10 manufacturers and said it represented
ell that greed and seltishness and rapa
city dare to demand OF the American
people. Mr.. Wilson resumed his speech
OF Tuesday and his peroration was SO
forcible and eloquent that we give it as
follows:
"The Democratic party" heconclnded,
5 raises itself rs one man, takes up this
great cause, plants it's standard here to
sink or swim, survive or perish, that the
Democratic party may continue in power.
We will plant the banner here, We mean
to have fight, ard We will call every
true believer in Democracy to rally to
our side. Let us call upon tho American
people. Let silent M asses, the farmers,
scattered, unable to organize, who plod
their way under the burdens of taxation.
Our petition boxes are filed with pro-
tests Of the trusts and combinations Of
this country, let us be true TO our
faith. Let sas 60 forward until we make
Shie country where every man shall 500
the gateway at opportunity opening be-
tore him. Then every man shalt see be-
fore him the opportunity to rise to such
influence, to such prosperity. as his own
merits justify, not weighted down with
burdens of tax alton. Let us labor for q
country free to ali, equal to all, with op
portsnity planted in every home,in every
humble tireside in the land
Burrows of Michigan was the first Re
publican to follow Mr., Wilson and he
gave repetition of the stock argu ments
employed by the advocates of high pro-
tective tariff. He displayed consider
able partisanship and was applaudedsby
the members of his party. The debate
is likely to continue for some time, but
the public already know the merits If
the question aud will expect the aomin.
ant party to pass the bill as soon as pos.
sible. Instead OF condemning the provi
aicus OF the bill in it's entirety as the Re-
publicans eeem disposed to do they
should take the advice Of Carnegie and
not oppose its passage. ''Ihe proof OF
the pudding is in it's eating" is an old
saying that is applicable to the Wilson
bill. The people will soon learn it's mer-
it's or dement's after it is tested. They
have already had enough OF the Mckin-
lev bill and hurled its authors aud adyo-
Gates from power. That measure was
tried and found wanting, The Demo
cratic party promised in it's platform to
give the people something better, and
the people have given them the chance
to redeem their pledge. Lot them do it
iu defiance OF the party whom the PEG
pie repudiated and rejected, and all will
be we'll. It is folly to debate long on the
Wilson bill. The Democrats alone can
PISS it, and let them do it speedily for
the benefit of the country.

The Baptist ministers of Minneapolis
are thinking of holding spiritual retreat
ip imitation of the Catholic clergy. This
is commendable. Retiring from the
busting world for week the followers
of Roger Williams will hear lectures on
the great need of saving their own souls
by avoiding sins to which they are prone
and leading life of sanctltication. A
suggestion as to the order of exercises
may not be amiss from one who desires
to see reformation in the moral tone Of
the Baptist eachers: Two installations
daily on the necessity of preaching love
of their neighbor and practiclng this vir-
tue, without which all other efforts to
please God are in vain. 1T You have
faith strong enough to move mountains
and have not charity it profteth yon

likely to arise from the practice of the
opposite vice. "A lecture bv Go Lightly

Ep1usD LEAMY has retired from tho
editorship Of United Ireland and limo
thy Harrington has succeeded him.
Both Of these Parnelltes are honest
patriots, and though they have said and
done many things during the last four
years, which we believe was indisoreet,
We have never doubted their patriotism.
Leamy lost his seat in the last election
~ a member from East Waterford, but
Harrington pulled through and is still
in parliament. His assumption OF the
editorship Of grabbed United Ireland
would tend TO show that he will not pay
much attention to parliamentary work.

In answer to q correspondent VINO
asked the Chicago Times whether it was
John Wesley, Henry Grattan, or Daniel
O'Connell who was the victor in q scoid-
ing match with brawling termagent toy
using mathematical terms as epithets,
the sapient editor said: 1--WE have al
ways heard this story told OF Dr.. john
son. The suggestion that Wesley. Grnt-
tan or O'Connell was the hero Of it is
wholly new to us" Which shows that
editors of first class newspapers do not
know everything, as is popularity sup
posed. The hero of the story is X .rrvs
pride and Ireland's glory" the immortal
Daniel O Connell The termagent was
Biddy Moriarity, who kept a fish stall in
Dublin. She was notorious for hsr
scolding tongue, but O'Connell on bet
completely vanquished her by using
geometrica] terms by way of denuncia~
ton. Curran had similar match with
q fish woman in Cork. AS she was get
ting the best of him he drew himself
to his full height and scornfully said that
he would not condescend to address such
an "individual' as she was, s"I am no
more an individual than your mother
was, you dirty blackguard," said the fish
woman, and Curran walked away dis
comEted.

A DISGRACE TO WOMANHOOD.

Miss Madeline Pollard's decision to
become an actress because " she believes
that this is the only profession left open
to her." is an insult to many noble men
and women who have adorned the stage,
to elevate and instruct mankind. Why
she should gratuitously insult the pro-
fession she is about to enter is another
one of her mysteries. She will soon
reach her level, however, aud a
dime museum which exhibits
her to morbid public will lose money
in a year from now. If she had any
medesty left, which of course is too
much to expect after life like hers,
she would have sought seclusion and
oblivion in some walk in life where she
could have lived unobtrusively aud en-
deavored to atone for her past misdeeds
and life Of shame.
The stage manager who is 80 lost to
decency as to suggest that this notori-
ously immoral woman adopt the pro-
fession and exhibit herself to gaping
audience, attracted simply by curiosity
to see q woman SO devoid of all the finer
sensibilities of womanhood that she
could unblushingly and without symp-
tom of shame lay bare life like her own
in the publicity of a courtroom merely
for revenge, ought to be punished by an
indignant public.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
The Atchison and its President.

~. \. sun.
The wrecked Atchison Railroad presents a
distressing and shameful spectacle, and its
president forms an instructive and painful
example of business immortality. The sun
has never lightly or inconsiderately CON
demned the methods of the managers of our
great railroad corporations; and since Mr..
Reinhart came to the front in the affairs of
the Atchison, IL has not failed to warn the
stockholders Of the nature Of his administra-
ton.
The stockholders have no one but them
selves to blame. Their csrelessness and folly
alone made IL possible for man like Rein
hart to achieve the ruin OF their great
property. What Mr.. Little, the expert ac-
countant now dascloscs was long ago disclosed
by The Sun. The shameful records OF the
those records were made; and they
were set forth when there was yet
time to set things right and retrieve the
disaster, and not too late, as IL is today The
charges that we made were met with lying
-denials.- Today they are met with lying eva
sion and shameful confusion.
As railroad ethics stand, IL is only necessary
that a man should wreck and ruin a great
property that he may be made the receiver of
IL, and perpotuate his disgraceful industry
under the protection OF the courts.
Verify. the stockholders of some Of our inn
portant corporations defend their rights with
the ferooity OF sheep beneath the shears
