NO TIME FOR THRILLING.

The eyes of the whole country are now
senate. That body has it in its power
to restore business prosperity at once or
to set it back indefinitely. The procras-
tination in dealing with the tariff meas
IRE is doing greater harm than even the
passage of bad schedule would effect.
1t is the uncertainty that is the greatest
stumbling block in the way of a resump-
ton of good times. The country can
stand everything but delay. Our re-
sources have not been impaired. We
have all the available elements for res
torstion that we ever had. All that is
required is that confidence be restored
by putting an end to the unknown in
legislation.
Let the senate amend the Wilson bill
as it pleases, but in whatever way it
changes it, it cannot make it SO OBJ
jectionSble or to work nearly as mu CHI
evil as the palsy that hangs over the
industries and business activities of the
country from this protracted suspense.
The senators who are now speaking
against time for political purposes are
making their own funeral orations as
public men. The country will not forget
them, and they will receive their reward
in permanent retirement as soon as
the people can take their cases in hand.
But those Democratic senators who are
responsible for the deadlock in carrying
out the expressed wishes of their con-
Htituents can never hope to be rein
stated in the favor of their party. When
the people voted for reform of the
tariff they meant what they said, and
no amount OF special pleading can ex-
cuse the men who stand in the way of
passing the best measure that can be
had leading to that reform, for their trea-
son.
Any tariff measure that this congress
can psss-or that any other congress- has
ever passed-must be measure of COM
promises. Neither the ultras nor the
conservatives those who want tariff for
revenue only or those who want tariff
Wlbh PlObOCblOA W l1hAOtieAA AoOOA OoN
hope to have their views engrafted upon
the tariff to the exclusion of such con-
cessions and adjustments as will render
the measure acceptable to the majority
of both houses. They must give and
take, and in this ls the essence OF all
tariff legislation. Ii the majority of the
senate will only act on this principle,
the bill now before it can be passed 10 q
few days. The Democratic party will
be held responsible for the miscarriaga
of the measure, and the men in the
party who render that miscarriage pos
sible will be held to fearful account for
their treschery to the party.
What the country wants now is that
the senate will come to speedy couclu-
sions on the tariff bill and, pass it in
come shape at once. The longer they
delay the more Impatient will become
the people and the more disastrous will
be the injury inflicted upon the business
interests Of the country.

Gen. nj. III. sherman VIII Not BE
SAN Francisco, May 12.-There were
no new developments in the Peoples
Home Savings bank scandal today. The
grand jury will resume its session on
Tuesday next. when q further inquiry
into the affairs OF the two wrecked banks
will be made. The proposition to
indict III. II. Sherman was mede to the
jury, but it is understood that no
indictment will be returned.
Sherman claims that Dick Mcdonald
and his friends are prosecuting him.
Mcdonald, on the contrary, lays all OF
the blame on Sherman's shoulders. de-
clares that he is responsible for the
wrecking of the banks, and that II lie
Sherman's influence which hiss caused
all of his own recent trou bles.
Mcdonald still remains in the county
Jail, and it ia understood that no at
tempt to secure his release on bail will
be made until the grand jury finishes its
work.
There ia some speculation az to
whether Frank Y. Mcdonald can be
brought back to this state to answer the
charge of embezzlement preferred
against him by the grand jury. At
present he is in Japanese jurisdic-
ton, and it is doubtful if the government
of Japan would surrender him il q de-
mand were made for his extradition.
Hiram t. Graves. who was indicted
by the local grand jury, is the secretary
of the United States grand Jury. Some
question was raised regarding his con-
tinuancs in the latter body. The United
States district attorney declares that all
men are presumed to be innocent until
proven guilty, and that Mr.. Graves
would continue to act in the federal
grand jury.
Charles r. Montgomery states that
when the proper time comes he will act
and cause the arrest of those whom he
regards as the wreckers OF the bank.
He states that there are five men upon
whom the guilt rests, and that they will
be called upon before long to defend
Themselves.

ANOTHER Tich borne case is threatened

now viceroy OF Canada. Some years ago
this elder son, who was black sheep
dyed in the wool, disappeared from Scot
land and WAS traced as far as New York,
where he was located on board sailing
vessel bound for Brazil. The vessel was
wrecked in q pampero off the River
Platte, and all track of the aristocratic
young sailor was lost indefinitely. His

and also to the estates. under the British

not to be thought OF because it was the
direct route to the older and better es-
tablished town of Seattle. And so. to
enable them to get through their pet
scheme of q Cascade mountain tunnel,
they employed Willard to 20 to Ger
many for them and float the bonds of Q
third mortgage of four million dollars.
There was no one else to do it, and 1t
was therefore case OF "Helpl Dash us,
or we sink." Willard went to Germany
and in two years amsssed s236,500 as
commission on these bonds.
Thus restored to the confidence OF the
minor stockholders of the road. he came
back to America and saw his left bower.
Mr.. Cakes, elected to the presidency OF
the road. In 1889 came the great
northwestern hegirs, during which the
Northern Pacific hauled four passengers
west for every one it carried east. Long
trains of from 10 to Is empty coaches
passed eastward twice day. The COM
pany had run dining cars for ak years
at dead loss, as an advertisement for
the road. charging the deficit up to It's
advertising account, bat in that year, go
great was the rush that the dining car
service actually paid dividends, thing
without precedent in the history of
trsnscontinental rsilrosding.
But that was the last of the Puget
sound boom. The working classes that
had crossed the continent soon found
that oil man oould not aateh a alp,np NOR
saw out lumber. The country immedi-
stely tributary to the sound was a vast
expsnse of clay covered with somber
forests of timber: and the only fertile
lands, in the Yakima valley and the Pa
louise, were characterized by as bleak
winters as the lands they had left be-
hind them in Iowa and Minnesota.
Hence they began to wander back again,
and from that day dates the decadence
of the Northern Pacific, which has now
been looted down to skeleton.
No ons need be surprised TO see it
pass out of existence as transconti-
mental thoreughfare, for its tunnel in
the Rocky mountains is in very bad
shape, and the one through the Cascade
range will be as bad in five years more.
The earnings of the road are not suffi-
Gent to meet current expenses, let alone
repairs that involve heavy outlsys.
Hence, with its endo wment plundered
to enrich private individuals, and no
visible income from any other source,
nobody need be surprised to hear of its
death.
Just now the Reading railroad, con-
Germ that has never run losing train in
thirty years, is in a financial condition
nearly as bad as that of ths Northern
Pacific; aud it's employees are being
asked to work at reduced scale of
wages, not because the road is not doing
a lucrative business, but for the reason
that it has been looted by its former
officers. The men who operate the
trains can see no good reason why their
pay should be cut down In order to give
somebody else chance to smass an in
dividual fortune by crookedness. It is
such things as these that have made
Coxeyism not merely a possibility but
positive fact in our midst. And it ia
such things as these that have caused
thinking men and women to recall the
words of that peerless American states
man who said, 81 tremble for my coun-
try when remember that God is just |"
