Concerning a Tariff Bill.
IN, Y, SUM-

In returning to Congress the infamous
German bill, with ringing veto mes
sage President Cleveland once more JUS
titles the confidence of the people in his
fearless courage and unfinehing adher-
ence to Democratic principles. He has
done the only thing ossible to such a
man in such crisis He has cut the
Gordian knot of the situation. He has
released the cause of tariff reform from
the bonds into which protectionists and
traitors had thrown it. He has assured
the future of the Democratic party.
I here have been those who believed the
President capable OF evading his plain
duty under the circumstances, and
either signing the bill with a futile
protest. or passively allowing it to be-
come a law. They did not understand
Grover Cleveland's character. Thanks
to him and to Divine Providence, the
Democratic party is still In the field,
and the cause of tariff reform still lives
With such leader Ultimate victory is
certain.
The President has signed the tariff
bill as it came to him from Congress,
This was the only course open to him,
and the only thing to be expected Of
him; not the less it is an act OF charac-
teristic courage, patriotism, fidelity to
that UNFOLDING sense of duty which has
distinguished the whole public career of
the man who has written, Party faith
lessness is party dishonor," Party hon
esty is party duty PARTY honesty is
party dishonor,n etc, etc. Thank heaven
for statesman in the Presidents chair
who can rise above narrow eonsidera-
lions of partisanship, who can subordi-
nate his own preferences and views or
policy to what the country's good de-
mands! A veto of the German bill, pro-
longing indefinitely the agitation Of the
tariff question and the consequent bust
ness uncertainty, would have given the
coup de grace to the already FRUSTRATED
industrial interests of the United States,
A refusal either to sign or to veto would
have been an act of cowardice impossi-
BILE to Grover Cleveland. He has done
the right thing at the right time, as he
always does it.
In withholding his signature from the
odious German bill. while permitting it
to become law by the time limitation,
President Cleveland has once more
earned the gratitude and commanded the
admiration of all good citizens. The
highest conception of public duty and of
personal responsibility has governed him
in this matter. Public office is indeed
with him public trust. A weaker
character, stu bbornly insisting upon its
own ideas, would have vetoed the bill
without regard to the consequences to
the reviving business of the nation. A
less resolute will would have yielded to
the dictation of the impudent Senate
and signed the bill, signing at the same
time the Presidents own political death
warrant Grover Cleveland is neither to
be cajoled nor intimidated into any act
repungant to his almost divinely inspired
ideas OF duty. BY mastery stroke of
statesmanship. he has disposed of a
troublesome question in the one and on
ly manner consonant at the same time
with personal dignity, party expediency
and exalted patriotism. Thank God for
Cleveland at such time.

Once in two Years as election day APP
proaehes the Democratic papers all pub
lish elaborate articles on the alleged ex-
travagances of our State administration.
The Argus yesterday INDUCED in this
regular biennial performance. Its prin-
eipal ground of complaint is that the
salaries of many State and county Off
GERS have been raised. during the past
ten years. That is true. Now all these
salaries were raised by the votes of lesis-
latures in which Democrats were present
as mem bers. If the increases were i'm
proper, if they were extravagant, the
time to have protested effectively was
when they were made. AS matter of
fact. however. the Democrats not only
did not protest. but in the great maiori-
~ OF cases they voted for them. And
they voted for them because they con-
sidered them first. The people of Maine
don't begrudge the payment of fair sala-
ries to their public servants. They
don't ask men to work for them for
nothing, or for less sum than their SER
vices are reasonably worth. We don't
believe that single State official is paid
an extravaganza salary. On the contrary
we have no doubt that they receive
much smaller salaries than are paid to
occupants of similar positions in most
other States. This shouting about ex-
travagant salaries just before election is
entirely insincere.

The Argus predicts tremendous bust
ness boom the moment the tariff bill be-
comes law. We hope it is right, but
the situation in Fall River and New
Bedford doesn't seem to point exactly in
that direction.
The Portland daily press., 1894-08-25

Both houses of Congress adjourned
yesterday until Monday. Nothing came
from the President upon the tariff bill,
aud his intentionsffare as mysterious as
ever. AS the time of the expiration of
the constitutional limit draws nearer of
course the impression naturally grows
stronger that the President will neither
veto nor sign the bill, but will permit
it to become law without his sigma
ture, Had he intended to veto the bill
it is reasonable to suppose he would
have done SO some days ago.

The New York Sun has prepared three
editorial articles for the benefit of the
cuckoo newspapers. One is made to fiji
veto Of the tariff bill, another it's sig.
nature and the third the permitting of
the bill to become law without sigma
ture- Each of them IS just the thing.
And yet we are inclined to think the
Boston Herald has furnished key-note
which will be even more seryiceable to
the cuckoos than the Suns. Here it is.
Those who chuekle over what they
term defeat for the President in the
tariff will find scant approval in the
minds of intelligent men. President
Cleveland is defeated only in what ID
bad in this measure. He has been over
come by the trusts in some portions of
it, and by individual greed operating
upon men who have not the respect al
the country in others. The record ID
that he exerted himself to the utmost to
prevent these things. With everything
while for that which is not good the
men who have opposed him in his own
party, aided by the support of chose who
have delayed and sought to prevent any
action, are response BILE. The country
fully appreciates this condition Of
analrs, and the President need fear nc
misconcepfion at its hands.
Probably the reason why the Herald
beats the Sun in this case is because
the Herald is cuckoo itself, and under.
stands the feelings and necessities of the
bird better than one who is not CUCKOO
possibly can.
Speaker Crisp urges the President to
sign the tariff bill in order to make light
er the burdens of the Democratic orator
and editor in the coming campaign.
If Cleveland's heart is not. stony that
appeal must make an impression upon
him. Certainly the Democratic editor
and orator are to be pitied, and if there
is anyway to make their lot less miserable
Cleveland ought not to begrudge some
sacrifice for their benefit. They have
made good many sacrifices sometimes
for his

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS
Having Hot Fight In Their
State Convention.

Kansas City, May 5.--The first
question TO arise in the Missouri
Democratic convention today was a
motion to reconsider the vote by
which the previous question was or
dered on the report of the resolu.
tons committee. This was laid
on the table by an aye and nay vote,
which left the question as before
adjournment. A hot A. p. A. res.
olution was introduced by Nick
Bell, of St. Louis, and it went over
pending action on the platform. A
stormy discussion ensued over the
presentation of substitute for the
majority report by Ex-Governor
Francis, of St. Louis. The amend.
ment was defeated and the majority
report of the committee was adopted
by 425 to 10. The announcement
of the vote caused pandemonium,
the cheering continuing fully sew

THE ALABAMA RACE.
Oates Friends Claim Enough
Votes to Nominate Him

VOI5S W lNOIIIIiIoN0 aA''''
New Orleans, May 16. Following
is a special to the Daily States from
the Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser
the chief supporter of the Hon.
w. G. Oates in Alabama:
Montgomery, Ala. :, May l6.-The
question as to who will be the
Democratic nominee for governor OF
Alabama will probably be settled
beyond any doubt today, all the
counties holding conventions to
selec, delegates to the state con.
vention which meets May %. There
has been no change in the situation
further than to confirm the report
that Lowndes and Mobile
counties are solid for Oates.
The Johnston people have
been vehemently claiming these two
counties, Notwithstanding the fact
that the returns showed they had
gone for Oates. Judge "Pet" CAT.
fry, leader of the Johnston forces
in Lowndes, admitted this morning
the loss of the county, and Col.
Price Williams wired today that
Mobiles seventeen votes would 20
for Oates beyond doubt. Marengo
and Morgan counties, which John
ston has been claiming, are now
conceded to Coates, while from
State and Lee, heretofose doubtful
counties, come combinations that
they will cast their votes for Oates.
Shelby is close, and nothing has
been herad from Pickens and Wins
ton. Oates friends claim 2s7 votes,
"a more than enough to nominate.
Tuscaloosa, Dallas and Limestone
act today, holding their primaries
and county conventions at the same
time. Oates will get good share
of their vote. Both sides are
fighting for Limestone county.
Colonel Oates and Captain
Johnston are at Athens today, the
seat of Limestone county, as well
as Congressman benson, Johnston's
supporter. A majority of the
county conventions today do not
meet until noon, and it will be along
in the afternoon before any news of
their action will come. The Oates
men in this city are jubilant.
Johnston claims he will be nomi-
mated.

and hail fell. The men, who were
hungry and desperate, requested
Marshal Rankin to arrest them. He
refused, but afterwards did so.
Later Colonel Pollard and l5s men
of the Eighteenth infantry arrived
to take the industrials back to
Omaha.
