A SEASON OF CONFEDERATION.

The most important general press dis
patch from Washington Thursday night be-
gan as follows:
The Democratic members of the Senate
finance committee have been assured of
the Presidents cooperation in having the
tariff bill become law, as he has eX-
pressed his approval of the bill as a whole
In the course OF a conversation with a
member of the committee Mr.. Cleveland
referred TO the bill and took occasion to
there might be little delay possible
in getting 1t through the Senate.
The dispatch could not be found in yes
terday's Sentinel, but it was alluded TO in
a brief paragraph expressing the Senti-
nels belief that the report is false. Doubt
less, the Sentinel is praying with agoniz-
ing earnestness that it may prove false.
season of extreme unhappiness before it,
If there has been a measure which the
Sentinel has denounced more than another
during the past two weeks, it has been the
Voorhees, tariff bill and the men who are
responsible for It, During that period, if
there has not been a long editorial de-
nouncing some portion of the bill, and par
ticularly those responsible for it, para
graphs on the topic have been scattered
through the editorial columns. No wonder
the Sentinel is disconnected. 1t must know
that the friends of Senator Voorhees, have
these editorials about their persons. They
have that paragraph in the editorial of
March g. declaring that 1.-The Sugar Trust
and the Whisky Trust have had their way
with the Senate committees bill. They
read over and over the paragraph fixing
the extension of the bonded period for
whisky upon Mr. Voorhees,, and holding
him responsible for this ''scandalous IA
vor" They have the paragraph asserting
that the names of the Democratic Senators
who were purchased by the sugar tax and
the coal and iron ore duties are known, but
that it is not quite so clear who being
bought by the donations to the Sugar and
Whisky trusts" Then there is that editorial
entitled 1.-The Defled Tariff Bill" meaning
the bill which Senator VOORHEES, reported
from the finance committee to the Senate
on Tuesday.
No wonder that cold chills and burning
fever chased each other up and down the
spinal column of the Sentinel a full hour
after it heard the report that Mr.. Cleveland
expresses his approval of the Senate COM
mittee's bill as whole" and that Senator'S
VOORHEES, and the three ex-confederate
brigaders are assured of his, the
Presidents cooperation" Having assailed
this measure as the outcome OF corrupt
bargain and bribery, because it was as
sured that IL was sustaining the Presi-
dent, CONSERVATION is a mild term for
emotions which tear the soul of the Senti-
mel in consequence of the Washington dis
patch. 1t may be that the Democrats of
the finance committee, Mr.. Voorhees, and
the three ex-confederate brigadiers," to
whom Senator Brice has paid his respects,
are misrepresenting the President. For the
SentinePs sake the Journal hopes that they
have; but, in any event, this alarm should
teach that paper not to shout cuckoo
until 1t shall have made certain of the
voice of the Amounted One whose echo
