The Tariff Law.

Whatever may be the verdict of
the country relative to the new tariff
law, says the Saginaw News, the
people will hail with delight the adj
journment of congress, and will
await with some anticipation the re-
vival of business, which has ev-
identity been retarded by the pro-
longed fight over the tariff. That
the majority of the people of the
United States are disappointed in
the failure of the Wilson bill to be-
come a law is not to be doubted;
that they are deeply chagrined at
the outrageous action of the senate
in usurplng to itself the power of
making a revenue law is very evil
dent. But in spite of this disap-
pointment and chagrin the true be-
lever in the doctrines of the Dem
ocratic party will not despair. He
may recognize the difficulties in the
way, but he will allow none of them
to become barriers. The senate
tariff is far short of the bill the
people had a right to expect,
but in some respects it is a
step forward in the direction
of tariff revision. 1t affords meas
ure Of protection to some interests,
however, that is wholly unjustif-
able, and the men responsible for it
should be held to strict accounta-
bility. The bill is not satisfactory
to the Democratic party, but the
party will not halt in it's work in
behalf of the people. The first
thing of Importance is to rid the
senate of the Germans, Brices,
Smiths and Murpheys. They are
not of a piece with the genuine tar
if reformers. They have no bust
ness to bear the title of Democratic
senators. They belong to little
coterie of their own. A new name
should be invented for them for
they have evidently "chawed their
tags"

ly improve the speculative instincts
of the public. 1t is worthy of re-
mark that the demands for bonds
has assumed large proportions and
that the timidity of capital which
existed during the progress of the
tariff struggle, and was responsible
for the large accumulation of idle
funds in the banks, has given place
to desire to find immediate inn
ployment for such funds.

Stocks.

IL stock speculation counts for
anything, the indications are exceed
ingly favorable for better times in
the near future. On the passage
of the tariff bill, dealers at once
sought the markets to purchase,
and during the past week securities
have had decided upward tenden-
cy: Bradstreet says:
The passage of the tariff bill
has given decidedly strong
tone to the speculative stock
market. The bearish influences
aroused by the crop situation at the
west have continued to exercise a
certain influence, but though at
tacks upon the stocks Of certain Of
the corn-carrying roads have con-
tinued, the impression produced was
slight and the short interest thus
created has shown decided readiness
to cover. London has been buy
er on our market on rather extern
sive scale. It would seem, however,
that interest in American stocks
there has been confined mainly to
professional interests and that the
public has been slow to come in as
a buyer of our securities on a large
scale. The same remark applies in
certain degree to the local demand
for stocks. An increase on outside
participation is, of course, very ev-
ident, but it would seem that the
improvement in prices which has
been secured this week, is largely
due to the efforts Of certain leading
orators and their following, and is
based upon the idea that the i'm
provement in general business will
not only have formidable effect on
railroad earnings, but will gradual

Republicanism "comes high"
The state tax for Michigan last year
was over half a million dollars high
er than had ever been before, while
this year the amount of state tax
for the people of Michigan to pay
is about three hundred thousand
dollars higher than for any year
previous to 1893. Yes, it is "high. "

LIVELY IN THE Thirteenth.
Grace People Accuse PcguOd Club
Men of Trickery,

In the Thirteenth Assembly District,
where John c. Sheehans Pequod Club
has Its home, politics is getting very
lively. Tammany Hall has renominated
Gen. Sickles for Congress, j. II. South
worth FOR Assembly and Charles ].
Goodwin for Alderman. The State De-
mocracy has placed in nomination
against Gen. Slckles, George Harsh, a
well-Hnown drygoods man on the west
side. The Republicans have candidate
in Mr. Campbell, member of the firm
OF Van Tassel & Campbell. The other
candidates nominated by the State De-
mocracy in the Thirteenth are Joseph
y. Barnes for Assembly and Evan j.
Hughes for Alderman.
Considerable feeling has been aroused
in the district over the action OF the
Tammany followers. A few nights ago
at meeting of the State Democracy
six men who had enrolled themselves as
members, but who We're looked upon
with suspicion as Pequod Club agents,
sought to create a disturbance, II Is
stated, by taking into the meeting about
twenty street sweepers and then en-
deavorng to introduce a series OF reso-
lutions denouncing the ticket nomina ted
by the State Democracy at Cooper
Union. The sweepers were elected, how
ever. and the six men who took them
there withdrew. II Is said that the Tam
many Hall captains have been supplied
with type written lists OF the names of
the enrolled members of the State De-
mocracy. and are trying to intimdate
the latter.

BIG TAMMANY POW-WOW.
The Executive Committee May Get
DIVERS Resignation To-day.

Mayor Gilroy left the City Hall short
ly after noon to-day and went up to
Tammany Hall to prepare for the meet
ing of the Executive Committee.
One of his lieutenants said that the
first thing the Committee would do
would be to accept the resigation of
Judge Patrick Diver as leader of the
Second District.
The other business the Committee has
on hand is the appointment of sub-com-
mittees and the considera ton of reports
The Committee may also take steps,
ii is said. to effect a Democratic union
on Assembly candidates in doubtful dis
tricts. Tammany is more interested in
the Assembly tickets than in any other
except its county ticket. and is prepared
to trade Aldermen, and even Congress-
men. to prevent the election of a Re-
publican majority In the Assembly.
