Preparing to Hedge.

The signs multiply that the Demo-
cratic party is looking for defeat next
fall, and some of the Democratic news
Papers which have been most active in
support of the administrations tariff
policy, are getting ready to claim that
the tariff had n thing to do with it,.
For instlrcs, the Boston Herald says:
II the Dem Jcratic party docs suffer In
the elections OF the coming autumn, IL Will
be very far from following. under present
Indications, that the responsibility for this
will be due to Its tariff policy. In view OF
Democratic action In New York, New Jer-
sey Kentucky, and other States OF the
Union, as we'll as on the bond question and
the coins age OF the seigniorage In Congress-
and indications are that the tariff VIII
have much heavier burden to carry In
the Democratic party than the Democratic
party has In the tariff.
This is interesting, not only as a con-
fession that defeat is probable, but as
an illustration of Democratic sensitive
ness over TIE failure of the party s
tariff policy. Tariff reform was made
the Democratic corner stone when Mr..
Cleveland received his third nj nina
tion for the presidency, but the T. adj
tional capacity for laundering was
sh )wn in the statement that the new
tariff must be for revenue only and
that protection was fraudulent and I'M
constitutional. The election was won
on false pretenses, and now the people
fully understand that they can expect
very little in the way of wise l.gisla-
tion from the Democratic party. The
Springfield UniC n says it can sympa-
thize with tho Herald in its uncer-
tainty as TO whether the tariff has a
heavier burden in the Democratic
party than the party has in the tariff,
but it looks as if both were pretty
heavily loaded

republicans do not need to go out of
their way TO find indictments against
thu Democratic party. Democrats and
lem ocratic newspaper are constantly
furnish NJ them, and one of the latest,
though ii deals with no facts MT "a
ready known to the public, is present ID
by the New York World, which says:
"The fall trade was killed by the pro-
long ition of the struggle over the re-
peal of the Sherman law. The spring
trade for this year has been reduced
to the smallest possible dimensions by
the uncertainty ever tariff revision.
Shall next summers and next autumn s
trade-the arrangements for which
must soon be made be killed also?
Business can sand four years of any
tariff better than four months more of
uncertainty"
Here is a frank admission that the
fall trade of this country was killed by
the Democratic party, and that the
spting trade ID the smallest possible
dimensions. The Democrats in Con-
gross could hare repealed the Sherman
s<within a week after meeting in
extra session, had they chosen to do SO.
But there was something more than
the delay in repeal ng the silver pur-
cha law at the bottom of the bust
ness depression, and that was fear OF
tariff changes, and the same cause has
been at work ever since.
The Republican party is in no way
res ponsible for the present tariff agi-
tatlon. II had furnished tariff under
which the country pro- pered and was
bound TO continue to prosper so long as
the Republicans remained in power.

gree Of prosperity will return.

Gresham's Pension.


1t is reported, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, that Secretary Gresham has
surrendered his pension. General
Gresham was brave soldier and was
pierced by rebel lead in front of At
lanta. He still carries that little me-
mento of the rebellion concealed in his
anatomy, and the government did not
ask him to produce it in evidence when
ne applied for pension. 1t accepted
his testimony and that Of his witnesses
just as ii accepted the testimony in
thousands Of other cases like his, and
81 anted him pension of $50 month.
Oil esham was not poor; did not need
the tension, but it was a roll OF honor
and like other old soldiers he was glad
t. have his name written there as one
who had shed blood in defense of his
country. For twenty years he drew
tina, pen sion and considered it high
honor t. be called a pen Toner.
But when Judge Gresham became
the squire TO knight Cleveland, he
realized thai ii meant more than a
simple change of politics and candi-
dates. 1t meant tle desert;on of old
gcds for new and stl ange idols. Pre- 81
s dent Cleveland had never been a sol
dier. He had vetoed $50 soldiers PEN
as persistent and ingenious attacks
Il ON the public treasury" and said of
pensioners that whatever their service
they had accumulated great deal of
disability" He had further declared
in his veto of the dependent pension
bill that the really needy and home
less soldiers of the rebellion have been
to a large extent provided for at SOL
der5' homes, and that 1T is sad, but
neN crthe.ess true, that in the matter
OF procuring pensions there exists a
widespread disregard of truth and Cd
faith"
Probably when Gresham read those
things he realized what it meant to
bee me squire 10 the great knight
Grover Cleveland, and he surrendered
his pension of $50 a month and had his
name erased from what he had regard
ed as a roll OF honor, but which Cleve-
land had said was a list of those who
pretended an incapacity for labor.

wiTNEss-BAIBING TRIED.

II appears that Lexow witnesses need
more than protection from persecution.
They need also to be guarded from temp
tation. The story comes out that two
men who gave valuable testimony at the
recent session OF the Committee have
been approached with offers of official
positions. The rendering of the places
be no doubt that the intent was to buy
the silence OF the two witnesses. For
tunately they were men not to be caught
that way. Instead OF getting pleased.
they got mad and exposed the attempted
bribery.
1t Is eviderSk6pm all sorts OF circum-
stances, that Sept 10 is not too early for
the Lexow Committee to reassemble and
resume Its inquiries in this city. The
earnest tone which the investigation as
sumed under tho direction Of Mr.. Goff
made a marked impression in the cor
rupt quarters towards which 1t was d.
rected. 1t forced the Police Department
to take the inquisitorial steps on Its part
OF "pantatasis." But Il also inspired de-
sIres for revenge and longing for
cover which have led to various tam
perings with the witnesses-attempts al
bulldozing and attempts at persuasion
for n price These tamperings should be
matters for prompt and rigid inquiry
when the Committee meets again.

SHIPS AND FORTS

1t would be worth while to get the
true story OF the attack by the Japanese
fleet upon the Chinese shore defenses at
Wel-IIai-Wei and Port Arthur.
After spending a great many millions
of dollars on battleships, great guns and
forts, we are anxious to know just how
the great modern inventions OF destruc-
ton and defense act In real warfare.
Big guns were used on land during the
siege OF Paris. but no test OF land de-
lenses against naval attack under
the modern conditions OF war has yet
been made.
1t looks very much as II the modern
protected fort with the disappearing
Armstrong gun had been too much for
the japanese fleet. 1t Is very possible
that the fire OF the Chinese was bad.
1t would be very strange II they should
show proficiency In the handling OF the
monstrous yet delicate machinery Of a
great breechloader. Yet 1t looks as II
the fleet had been utterly unable to
reach the fort. and had no alternative
but to retire. In other words. the mod
ern land defense proved itself impreg.
nable from attack by sea.
The incident has an important bearing
on the question OF defending the coasts
Of this country. 1t Ia OF especial i'm.

THE TARIFF CRISIS.

The struggle over the tariff at WASH
ington has now reached q point where
II looks as II there was no choice ex-
cept between the Senate Tariff bill and
no Tariff bill at all. II this Is really
the case, II success on the lines laid
down by the Wilson bill. by the Presi-
dents letter and by the Chicago plat
form is no longer possible. then moth
ing remains except to take what we
can get, and accept the Senate bill as
the lesser of two evils.
This is not what the people OF this
country wanted, II Is not what they
the country needs. But the close margin
of strength in the Senate has placed the
balance OF power in the hands Of a lit
tie group identified with the cause OF
monopolies and trusts. and the invari-
able current OF modern legislation has
shown us that when the interests OF
the trusts get control OF any situa ton
the rights OF the people are sacrificed.
II Is a sad alternative to accept, a
humiliating confession to make, but 1t is
the part OF wisdom to recognize the in
evitablc. The greatest general, war
ring in the noblest cause, would refuse
to continue a fight when 1t was evident
that its continuance merely meant fur
Their loss and useless sacrifice. The
practical interests OF the country de-
mand an immediate solution of the tariff
deadlock. II there IL only one solution.

WORK FOR A BETTER NEW YORK!

But little more than two months now
intervenes before the election day upon
which so many issues vital TO the NUM-
cipal interests OF New York should be
decided. Within these two months such
a campaign of education should be car
ried on In the city as never has been
conducted before. The people have been
bossed so long. and the reign OF bossism
has seemed 80 absolute. that they have
given up counting on ways and means
for the revolt to which they should be
melted in their own interests. They
must be stirred up. interested, inspired
and encouraged. In the possibility of
arousing them and OF bringing to the
polls for a solid vote In the right way
lies the hope OF restoring good govern
ment to New York.
Are the reform clubs attending to this
work? Are good citizens doing all they
can individually to spread the under

WHISKEY TRUST USES WHEAT
Cheaper than Corn Just Now for
Making High Wines.
(By Associated Press.)

PEORIA, Ill, Aug. l3.-Vice-President
Beggs of the Distilling and Cattle
Feeding Company, who is in charge OF
affairs at headquarters in this city.
says that the Company, although 1t
made arrangements to do so at re-
cent direceors' meeting. has not with
drawn a barrel OF spirits from bond.
Many customers OF the Company have
withdrawn their goods from bond and
will probably continue doing 30.
1t Ia not likely a meeting OF the
directors will be held this month. There
is no necessity for it, except in event Of
positive action on the Tariff bill. At
present trade is very dull and only
routine matters are disposed of. So far
the Company has closed twelve distill-
cries, leaving the Great Western, Peoria,
Schuefeld. Rlverdale, Chicago and the
Consolidated Cincinnati the only ones in
operation. Mr.. Beggs looks for all of
these, except the Riverdale. TO close
during the present week.
The Great Western Is now using
wheat in the manufacture OF high
wines. Wheat can be secured cheaper
than corn. thus reducing the cost of the
raw material. AS long as the present
high prices of corn maintain wheat

Gifts to infants at their baptism are
OF ancient origin. Formerly the spon-

child. These spoons were called apostle
spoons. because the figures OF the twelve
apostles were carved at the top OF the
handles. Rich sponsors gave the COM

were not so opulent four was consid-
