The Wilson BILL
AS to the Wilson tariff bill, the gen.
eral opinion is that it will pull through
in scene shape or other. Representa-
tive Tarnsey, member OF the ways
and Means Committee, who has just
returned from his home in Missouri,
says he found no one among his con-
stituents dissatisfied with the tariff
bill. Representative Hayes, OF Iowa,
says the bill will become law in time,
and that all differences about it will be
adjusted within the party, so
that there will be no fatal
/ break over it. Representative Ste
vens, of Massachusetts,, who ls g.
! member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and an extensive wooden manu-
facturer, says the bill will pass the
| House unchanged, and that whatever
changes are made before the measure
becomes law will be made in the Sem
! ate. Representative Cousins OF Iowa,
) on the other hand, viewing the situa-
tion from Republican standpoint, says
I that il all the Democratic members OF
! the House that he has heard express
themselves against the bill actually
vote as they talk now, the bill will ce-
tainly be beaten in the House, to say
nothing of the Senate, where itS
chances are at least doubtful. Howl
ever, he says, it is pretty hard to get a
Democrat to kick out Of the party
traces, so you cannot just figure on re-
suits when Democratic polting becomes
an essential element in the calculation.

Starting out with the avowed purpose of

and continued others. The duties which
were retained were variously and arbitra-
rily reduced, thirty, forty or fifty per cent.
Free trade for one district was offset by
protection for another and the sacrifice of
one industry was atoned for by coddling its
neighbor. The result is likely to be very

and. while they may not intend to injure
the cause they represent, they really do so.
No person should be placed on a political
committee without a distinct understanding
that he is to assume all the responsibilities
of the position and discharge its duties
with zeal and energy. 1t should be under
stood that the position of a committeeman
during a political campaign. whether ma
tional, State, county or city, involves a
grave responsibility to the party. Though
rot salaried position, it is one Of honor
and trust and the person accepting it is in
honor bound to render a full equivalent
in time and labor for party success. A coun-
ty committeeman who did not take his coun-
ty paper should be publicly branded a
sneak.

THE TEACHINGS OF STATISTICS.

The figures published yesterday, in which
the wages in the wooden industry were COM
pared with those of Great Britain for the
same number of people. worthy Of
further attention They showed that ninety
one employees in the wooden industry in this
city were paid S42 1O5 in 1892, while the same
number in the same industry in Great
Britain were paid but s15,02i That is an
average per employee of si62.5S in Indianap-
oils and of Sl65.10 in Great Britain. Change
a household from an income OF s462 to one
OF sl65 for a year, and what does it mean?
1t means that comfortable cottage must
be exchanged for two rooms in a tene-

THE STREET-RAILROAD QUESTION
IN DETROIT

Detroit has street-railroad problem on
been giving much thought to it's solution
He is a broad-gauge, progressive man. and
his ideas on municipal government COM
mand great deal of attention. The char
ter of the present company will expire in
about four years, and the question is what
disposition shall be made of the franchise.
In discussing the subject in his annual mes
sage the Mayor said there were three ways
for giving franchise to the street-rail-
way company: First. by the payment of
large sum of money for the use of each
street, as is done in New Orleans; second,
gross receipts of the company. in, BsitiS.
more, Toronto and other cities; and third,
by cheap fares. First-class service must
be had in any event, and the Mayor con-
cluded that the greatest good would be
secured by having street-car fares re-
duced rather than by adopting either OF the
other two methods of settlement men,
toned. He therefore recommended cheap
fares as the basis of a new franchise, and
submitted the draft Of an ordinance on this
line. He also recommended that the city
shall, as soon as possible, purchase and
own the existing street-railway plant, and
that it shall construct and own all future
extensions of the present system, the COM
pany to pay the city an annual rental for
the use of the tracks as well the streets.
These suggestions show the drift of pub
lie sentiment among intelligent men in re-
gard to street railroads. 1t is in the di-
rection of municipal ownershp-not opera
ton, but ownership. Street railroads are
as distinctly feature of city life and mu-
nicipal improvements as are good streets
asphalt pavements. The city constructs
streets and pavements and makes them free
to the public. 1t cannot do this with street
railroads. but IT could construct and own
the plant and lease it on an annual rental
to an operating company. In that way it
would be in a position always to exact
the best terms and get the best service
and the largest profit.

The first work of the convention of stone

hereafter give as surety a reputable trust

The offer made by bank syndicate to
Secretary Carlisle is well calculated to
make him seriously consider the propriety
of quitting public life and engaging i'm pri-
vate business. AS Secretary of the Treas
ury he receives $1,000 a year and probably
spends every cent of it. He is understood
to be poor man, and, as everybody knows,
there is very little opportunity for any man
to make money in politics. Some do, but
they are the exceptions Mr.. Carlisle is
not one of them. He has no talent for
money making. He is offered $4,000 a year
to become president and legal adviser of a
syndicate which proposes to engage in a
banking, brokerage and mortgage loan
business. His duties would be largely those
of legal adviser and attorney, for which he
is well qualified. Mr.. Carlisle is a good
lawyer, and could render valuable service
in the capacity indicated. The syndicate
has shown good judgment and shrewd bust
ness sense in offering him the employment.
His reputation as an ex-senator and
ex-Secretary of the Treasury would
be worth much to them, and
they could hardly find a better lawyer
free to consider such an offer. If he ac-
cepts 1t will take him out of public life,
but he can have the satisfaction of know
ing that he is making provision for old
age. If he declines it will be because he
prefers official honors to a pecuniary COM
petence.
