REIGN OF COMMON PEOPLE.

An Assurance That Future Wars Must
Have Reasonable Grounds.
We are frequently told by cynical
critics that democracy is on it's trial,
but when the democracy demands the
abolition of standing armies, or urges
a mutual disarmament. it gives a good
answer to critics of this type. Such
facts are sufficient in themselves to en-
able us to contrast the blind and stag
nant selfishness of ca1lous autocracies
with the advance possible under
broader forms of government which
stimulate the progress of our race by
putting the destinies of humanity in
to it's own hands. We have in
voice an evidence of a growing
sense of moral and intellectual
sclf-reSpect among the common people
of the nations of the world. We are
coming to the time when the peasant
and the artisan will inquire into the
merits of Il quarrel in which they are
ordered to sacrifice themselves. They
may refuse to stand up to be shot down
without asking questions. and not be so
easily led away by appeals to that
spurious patriotism which has ever
been the device by means of which am
bilious monarchs and willy statesmen
have sought to make their quarrels
those of communities. Hitherto we
have had democracy in name rather
than in fact. The way in which the
sayings and doings of monarchs and
statesmen are chronicled by the press;
the manner in which such people have
been allowed to act without question
upon affairs of the gravest concern to
humanity: the extent to which they
have been able to count upon the sup
port of the people in any war they
might resolve upon: the levity often
shown by them toward the interests of
the people-without whose support the
most powerful among them would be
reduced to the level of common clay
in such matters we have proof of the
extent to which we are still governed
by men whose chief claim to govern
often consists of the fact that their an
cestors did the same thing before them.

I have lately been reading some re.

neat, but i for one object to their meth

gar is not a sign of economy, but poor
judgment, and it is a practice that is
as uncleanly as it is uncalled for.
Surely even the most poverty-stricken

ought to be supplied by charity, for

In the year 1883, when the first con.
tract was signed for the increase of
the United States navy, there was not
a mill in the country that had ever
made plates required in the specifca-
ciops; there was no foundry suitable
to turn out the work. no FORCES for the
same, and no plant that could make
the arlnor plates. Since that time there
have been brought forward shops and
yards that can produce in any guam

be safe to say that tho advantages of
free wool will be so overwhelmingly
manifest and so generally appreciated
that not even such body of protec-
tionists will be able to legislate this raw
material back into the condition of
bondage from which 1t is now slowly
emerging. In less time our wooden
mills will be manufacturing for foreign
countries as freely as our leather mills
have been doing since the raw material
of their product was emancipated.
There is, further, in tho bill, some
tightening of tariff burdens on other
leading raw materials, as iron, coal and
lumber, which, although falling short
of satisfying tariff reformers, at least
have u reassuring effect. The changes
are in the right direction, and the think
ing people of this country will not here
after find cause for regret in the discoy-
cry and exploitation of additional
natural resources as affording as hitherto
only new channels for the protectionist
to get his paralyzing work in. And the
prevalent substitution of ad valorem for
specific duties is another conspicuously
good feature.
There are glazing faults, of course, in
the bill as it comes out from its long
senatorial incubation, but some of these
may be ameliorated in conference; only
the people are not willing to wait long
for such amelioration. They have
waited too long already.

The Tariff bill had been so long under
consideration in the Senate-since Feb
ruary 2d-and the patience of the public
has become so wearied by this tedious.
ness of delay and the public attention
50 distracted by the railway embargo
with its attendant rioting, Instruction
and the calling out of troops, that the
news Of the Senate's final action excited
little enthusiasm or interest. Months
ago the American people had generally
settled down to the conclusion that the
bill would get through some time and
in some shape and, having learned that
there was nothing to do but wait, their
interest in the Senate proceedings natur-
ally languished, and as week succeeded
week with the same record of talk, talk,
talk, the nation simply grew more de-
spairingly listless. But the end of the
second chapter in the history of this
SO long awaited reform legislation has
been wound up at last, for which we
feel more relieved than thankful. The
bill now goes to the conterees and there
is nothing to do but to wait until they
get through with it. Perhaps the first
Of August may see the end.
Wool has been kept on the free list
and will unquestionahly be retained
there. That, At least, is one important
point gained, Years ago, before the
Republicans became so hopelessly bound
up to the policy of taxing everything,
they put hides on the free list. The
Mckinley Congress made two or three
attempts to undo this, but they fortu.
nately failed. The growth of the leather
industries had proved too great an
object lesson for even the McKinleyites
to overcome. What this country has
gained from free hides is only forccas.
Of what We may reasonably expect to
follow in the case of wool. Five years
hence, should the nation be afflicted by
another Mckinley Congress, it would

"ibb hHrhHlhn IHppeu OH the
Gasket Lid and Thus Escaped Being
Buried Alive.
RoSpouT, N. Y, July 10--The little
village Of SPEAKERS was thrown into a
great state of excitement yesterday by
the apparent rising from the dead Of
Miss Eleanor Markham. The young
woman, who was % years Of age, was
pronounced to be dead by physician
on sunday, and her body was placed in
u casket for interment.
Yesterday while the casket was being
carried to the hearse, faint tapping
was heard, which greatly frightened the
persons carrying it. The casket was
carried back to the house and the lid
raised.
Much to the surprise of ali, the girl
was found TO be alive and conscious.
She was placed in bed, and ia now
thought to be on the road to recovery.
Miss Markham says she was conscious
OF what was going on around her dur
ing the preparations for her burial, but
was unable to give any sign of her
horror of the situation until she was
being carried from the house.

one denies that there are before the
American people, to be settled through
legislation, vast questions as TO the
rights Of labor and capital. Nobody
denies that. But in this time OF present
exigency these questions cannot be set
tied. The Senator from Kansas has no
word Of reproof, not a single word of
rcproach, for tho bloodshed that has
been going on in Chicago for the last 10
days, or for the millions of property
that has been destroyed. The red light
Of arson against the sky over that city
has awakened in him no pang, and
ELECTED from him no word of disappro-
baton. lie insisted that we must 20
back to the causes of tho strike, to the
dispute h4tween Pullman and his men,
and mustarbitrate that; while everybody
knows that we have got far beyond that
transaction. The proposition is just as
foolish as if some one, when the battle
lines were drawn at Gettysburg, had in
sisted that the impending cor tiict should
be withheld until Lee and Meade had
argued, between the lines, the question Of
slavery in the Territories"
