To Your Tents, o. Israeli

The Democratic Representatives should
devote tomorrow, after due attention to
their religious duties, to serious considera-
ton OF their duty as to the WILSON bill and
the Democratic party. Next week will de-
eide the fate Of the one. and may decide the
fate OF the other.
Is tho Democracy TO be exhibited as a
e-for-platform-only party1 Will 1t
pay its debts OF honor or repudlate them =?
VIII It take the elimination stains out Of
the Constitution or won't it2
We ask the Democratic Representatives
10 think over these things. and to let this
indisputable proposition percolate through
their brain pores:
A vote for the WILSON bill Is q vote to
disturb business and to dishonor the Demo-
cratic party.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1894-01-27

It Is startling to read In the leading
columns OF the Nep York Times frank and
undisguised declaration that the danger OF
overthrow confronts the Democracy In its
very citadel. in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Congress districts In this city. Col. Brown
and Mr.. lsIDoR STRAUs are quite compe-
tent and satisfactory candidates. and the
meetings where they address the electors.
and where other distinguished Democrats
are heard upon the topics Of the day.
show all the signs Of an awakened
interest; and yet. says the Times there are
Democrats in each OF the districts who
apprehend defeat. This is indeed aston
ishing when we remember that at the cleo
ton OF 1892 the Fourteenth district gave
Col. FELLOWS ss25 more votes than were
given to his Republican opponent. while the
Fifteenth gave Mr.. FITCH a plurality of
1850. This alarming prospect our contem-
porary attributes to "tho reckless and
wanton behavior of tho Democrats in Con-
gress." creating "a situation and a senti-
ment extremely unfavorablc TO the party in
those districts and elsewhere"
We must say that the anticipation OF
our contemporary seems to us to surpass
the fact. and that We do not think there is
such extreme danger as the Times init
mates. We expect To see Col. BRowS and
Mr.. SrRAUs elected by sufficient maiorit.es
The splendid organization and tenacious
leadership OF the Tammany Democracy
cannot so swiftly or so easily be broken
down, aud We know that no effort is spared
OF pTecaution neglected by the district
leaders that promises TO bring out tho full
vote Of the party. Yet il defeat Is the des-
tiny OF this contest. there will be little diff
Guilty in fixing the responsibility for a
calamity SO dsheartening.
The cause 10 which the Times refers, the
income tax folly in Congress. must I'M
doubtedly stand forth as one OF the prln-
eipal factors Of the event. Yet that is only
q superficial symptom, and the real mis-
chief must be sought for in a deeper and
more dangerous agency, namely, in the
base aud shameful treachery of the whole
party. and its deliberate. unblushing. I'M

Germany suffers from the enforcement Of
our statute which provides that undesirable
immigrants landing here shall be sent back to
the country from which they came. She is
especially VsXed because a good many OF the
Russians who had taken passage from her
ports have been returned to these PORTS after
their arrival here. She has. therefore. made a
new set OF regulations applicable 10 the cir
eumstEncss. Under them no Russian subject
bound for America can enter German territory
without = regular RUSSIAN passport. q pas
senEer ticket over SEQ, . certificate Of health,
a certain amount OF cash, and an assurance
that he will be permitted to land In this coun-
try. The regulations are intended TO bear
directly upon the RussAn-Jswlsh subjects
who enter Germany to take ship for this coun-
try. only = small proportion OF whom can iulhl
the conditions imposed upon them. When
anJ OF these subjects who come here are
shipped back to Hamburg or Bremen they are
forced 10 remain In Germany. as the Gar will
not permit them 10 return to his dominions.
and as theJ would not be admitted TO France
or Austria. The German Government Is IN
willing to take charge Of people who are sx-
eluded from this country By the American
authorities as undesirable
