NEW YORK trade journals, such as Bradstreets, Dun's, and the like as- sert that the prolonged business stag nation is due to uncertainty about the tariff, and that business will pick up as soon as that is settled.

Now they say at Washington that MT. Cleveland will sign even the sen ate tariff bill should the senate insist and the house recede and adopt 1t. If he can do that after writing the Will son letter, he is certainly q man who does not fully understand the force and weight of his own language. If the senators criticised in that letter are all as described by the language used, and the bill has been modified in the senate by the influences assert ed by the president, the bill should be vetoed.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF RAIL-
 ROADS.

l hOADS.
 The San Francisco Examiner is mak
 ing vigorous campaign for govern
 ment ownership of railroads, and il
 proposes that the first step shall b'
 taken in that direction by foreclosure
 of the government mortgage on tho
 Central and Union Pacific railroads
 now falling due, extension of which is
 proposed. The government mortgage
 is preceded by another and first mort.
 gage which will have to be paid and
 cancelled by the government should
 the policy advocated by the Examiner
 prevail. Beside the Examiner the
 Chronicle has lately mildly supported
 the proposition, but not so persistent-
 ly nor forcibly as it's democratic cen
 temporary.
 Of course the proposition is earn estly opposed by the present owners of the lines involved. From their point of view many arguments are ad- duced why the government should not do so.
 With the question as presented by either side this article has no inten- tion of treating. But it seems to TIE OASIS that the ultimate outcome of the situation will begoyernment own ership of all the subsidized railroads. And it will come about naturally and easily with the full consent of all those who now so earnestly oppose the proposition. 1t is conceded fact that the Pacific railroads could today be duplicated at one-half or one-third their actual cost, which is represent ed by the double mortgages now hang ing over them. This great reduction in actual value has been brought about by reduced cost of machinery and material supernduced by improy- ed processes of manufacture, and re- duction in wages of common tracklay- ing labor, since the time the subsidiz- ed railroads were constructed and equipped. The limit of this reduction in cost has not yet been reached, and it is safe to say that in the next twen- ty years improved processes will make far greater reductions. Then will new arise and build compet- ing railroads which can be operated so cheaply that the subsidized roads can not meet their interest charges and pay operating expenses. This has al- ready been done in the matter of the Northern Pacific, which has been re- 1uced to bankruptcy by it's new and more cheaply constructed rival, the Great Northern railroad. It will do Jhem no good to diminish expense ac- counts by reducing wages. Their more ,heaply built rivals can follow them n the scale of wage reduction and till maintain their advantage. In hat case the best and only way out Of t will be to let the government take | md operate the subsidized roads. The mount advanced will have to be paid | ut of the public treasury, and when Q paid the interest account will no onger be hanging over the manage nent as an incubus upon productive apacity of the property.
 This will more than likely be the of the matter. The owners f the railroads will gladly let go of hem, and now the course of the Ex- miner is only an effort to forestall he natural sequence of existing and rowing conditions.

coNsrIrUrIoNAL CHECK.

of the house of representatives is tC
 ascertain and carry out the wishes of
 the people. The duty of members of
 the senate is to make the foregoing a
 hard job for the representatives. "- Chicago Record.
 While intended as bit of sarcasm,
 the above quoted quip from the Rec
 ord is none the less an accurate des-
 cription of the intention of the con-
 stitution in prescribing the functions
 of congress. One has but to turn to
 the debates in the convention which
 framed the constitution of the United
 States, and to the speeches and writ
 ings of those who urged it's adoption
 upon the people of the states-such as
 Washington, Hamilton, Madison, Jef- ferson, Monroe and others, to find
 that the very function of the senate
 now so severely criticised and con-
 temned was deliberately intended by
 the constitution makers. Otherwise a single legislative body would have
 been sufficient. But the framers of the constitution foresaw that there might be fluctuations in popular sen timent which, if acted upon with each recurring change, would make legis- lation a shuttlecock batted back and forth between contending parties and factions, changing and altering laws and policies with frequency which would be farcical in appearance, and damaging in experience. For that reason there was created a senate-a body practically continuous, but one third of it's members retiring from it's deliberations at time, and all elected for thrice the tenure given the members of what is sdenominated the popular branch of the national legis- lature, all of whom go to the people for selection every two years. Under that plan it was anticipated that leg islation would be protected from sud- den and eyanescent changes of the popular will. That is exactly what the senate is now doing. It is stand ing in the way of sweeping change in the tariff laws decreed by the peo- pie two years ago: and in doing so it is simply discharging it's constitution al function, as foreseen and intended by the framers of the constitution more than one hundred years ago.
 Those who decry and contemn the action of the senate for "thwarting the will of the people" should get down their commentaries on the con- stitution and look into this matter. They will find that the propositions herein set forth are correct. If the popular will has been truly thwarted by the senate the people will in No vember elect a congress which will re- enact the Wilson bill, and they will retire sufficient number of senators to convert the very slight majority by which the senate bill passed that body into a clear majority for the Wilson Dill.
 If, on the other hand, the people were misled, as is asserted by the re- )ublicsns, when they elected the house which passed the Wilson bill; in November they will elect a congress which will not take up or consider any 'uch legislation. In that event the enators who now stand out against expression of the popular will" will lave received full justification, and he wisdom of the fathers in creating he senate will be again exemplified.
