as a mistake, which may produce ser

The opening Sunday steamboat excur-

The steamer Liberty took several hun
dred people down to the SistersviIle
oil fields. An immense crowd assem- bed
at the wharf at eight o'clock, and many
were unable 10 get aboard owing to the
size of the crowd. Many more passen-
gers were picked up at the La Belle
landing and Benwood.
Persons who were on the boat report
that there were a great many fights en-
route. There was an abundance OF
"booze" on the boat, and this was nat
urally to be expected. One serious
fight took place between men from New
Msrtinsville and Sistersville. The bel
ligerents we're put off the boat at a
point between the two cities, and q
number Of their friends engaged in a
general battle. No arrests were made
when the excursion party returned TO

The early outgoing motors on the W. &

the crowd at the Mozart was largest
early in the afternoon. At both resorts
excellent orchestral music was rem

The wind and rain storm which came

Tho Congress of Broken PROMISES

The Congress which adjourns today
has been in session, counting the called
session, longer than most of its prede-
cessors; and what has it accomplished?
OF real Importance nothing except the
repeal of the Federal election laws
This repeal. desirable and necessary as
it was, does not call for special graft
tude. A Democratic Congress and a
Democratic President could not we'll
help removing the Federal election laws
from the statute book. In view, how
ever. OF the strange callousness shown
by Congress and Mr.. Cleveland in regard
to Democratic obligations not less bind
ing than the pledge to repeal the cleo
tion laws, that repeal must be regarded
as the sole worthy achievement of this
Congress
Tne shameful refusal of this Congress
TO make a constitutional tariff, and it's
treacherous surrender to protectionism
and Fopulism, will mark it as the Con-
gress OF Broken Promises, to the dishon-
or of every Democrat in it who was
party to the surrender and the shame
1t is no excuse for Congress that it
was directed into the broad way that
leadeth to destruction by Mr., Cleveland
HIS part in the distribution of the dis
honor will be larger; but the share Of
the Democrats in Congress will be
large enough to make them wish that
they had never been born, a wish in
which the Democratic party, betrayed.
Inundated, condemned to almost GER
tain sdisaster by their weakness, will
heartily join.
The contrast between the high Demo-
cratic hopes with which this Congress
met last December, and the absolute
disappointment and disgust which it has
since caused in every Democratic heart,
is too eyid ent and too sicken1ng to be
dwelt upon. Since this Congress had
not the common honesty to keep good
faith with the people, the best thing it
could doswas to adjourn. 1t is unfortu-
nate that there is no constitutional pro-
vision for adjourning Mr.. Cleveland for
q few months, too. There will be no adj
journment of The disgrace which this
unfaithful President and this unfaith-.
full Congress have brought upon them
selves. That will sit continuously. New
York Sun.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1894-08-30

so long been deprived, is how to avert
TINS threatening prospect of further
tariff legislation. There is only one prac-
teal answer to it. Cleveland and the
Democratic leaders, like Wilson, and
Mills and Crisp, who are all shouting
that the fight must be kept up, must be
convinced that the sentiment of the peo-
pie OF this country is overwhelmingly
opposed to such a course. The people
must speak at the ballot box with "a
voice so loud that the present House of
representatives will not dare to disre-
gard their wishes.

THE AGITATION ToBE KEPT UP.

| For nearly two years now the business
OF the nation has been paralyzed, labor
has been unemployed and there have been
suffering and want from one end of the
country to the other, while in the year
preceding business of all kinds was
flourishing, labor generally at work at
renumerative wages, and contentment
and happiness were the 1ule The cause
OF this sudden and disastrous change
was the threat of the new Democratic adj
ministration to radically change the con-
ditions upon which our mercantile and
manufacturing business was being CON
Quoted. Fixity of tsrif conditions is
essential to the prosecution of any and
all industries that are affected by the
governments revenue policy, as almost
all the great industries of the country are
that give employment to labor. The
worst possible condition that any bust
ness can be placed in is to be surrounded
with uncertainty. To certainties, even
unfavorable ones, it can to some extent
adapt itself to, but it cannot cope with
uncertainties. Business has 1anguished
for two years now because Congress had
threatened to tear down existing tariff
conditions without giving any definite
Indication of what the new conditions
which it proposed to set up were to be.
With impatience and anger businss men
and manufacturers watched the slow
progress that Congress made toward the
settlement of those conditions. The
long delay sent many of them into
bankruptcy, and SO crippled many
others that they cannot recover for years
under the most favorable condition.
And now just as the light appeared to
be breaking and tariff conditions seemed
to be fixed at least during the life Of the
administration, just as business men
were preparing to adapt themselves to
the new tariff and make the best Of it.
unfavorable though it be in many re-
spects, comes proclamation from no
less a parsonage than the President of
the United States, uttering another
threat of further agitation of the tariff
and further changes in the conditions of
business. The German bill, which the
country had hoped would survive at
least until business had recovered suffl-
Gent strength to endure another strain,
is declared by the President of the
United States to be merely vantage
ground from which to continue the agi-
tation for further changes, and the
House of Representatives is urged to set
to work at it's very next session tearing
down the conditions that it has Just set
mp. The threat which paralyzed bust
ness two years ago, and plunged the
country into dire distress is made again
just as business men were beginning to
take heart When Cleveland wrote his
letter to Catchings he struck a blow 10
reviving business by restoring the uucer-
tainty which has prevailed for two
years, and which the people hoped had
passed with the passage of the German
bill. Unless the prospect of a continu-
ance of tariff tinkering at the next SEES
sion of Congress can be averted business
can not improve. Therefore the oues-
ton presented to every American who
wants to see industry revive and labor
regain that endowment of which it has
