Those who are on the inside say that
the contest between the Senate and House
conferees on the tariff bill is practically
contest between the Senate and the
White House. The House conferees are
in constant communication with the
President, and get orders direct from
him. Cleveland has made up his mind
20 beat the Senate bill if possible and
he is directing the movements of the
House conferees to that end. Meanwhile,
however, the House is growing FESTIVE,
as we'll as the Senate, at this open dicta-
ton on the part of the executive. The
majority of the House Democrats are
not enthusiastic admirers of the Presi-
dent. 1t will be remembered that a
large majority of them weresagainst the
President on the subject of the coinage
of the seignorage, and it was Republican
votes that enabled him to win in that
fight. The defeated silver Democrats
have never got over their discontinue in
that case, and a good many of them have
been nursing their wrath against an OPP
portunity to get even with Cleveland.
hO pethAh p1'1 Ali1y give OAOili VIC OppOA-
tunity. The managers of the House are
all in CIeveland's interest, but there is
liable to come a time when the managers
cannot manage. There is a growing
disposition undoubtedly among the
Democratic representatives to accept the
Senate bill. This is SO evident that the
White House sat down very hard on
caucus OF the representatives. The hope
of the Cleveland men is to keep the
Houses from interfering until the Presi-
dent has had full opportunity to bring
pressure to bear on the Senate to yield.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

There is a new variety of rust affecting
the growing grain in nearly every pro-
tion of the State. 1t affects the leaves of
the grain instead of the stalks, SO that a
field appears speckled, the brown and
withered being mingled with the green
ones. Whether this will spread SO the
entire crop will be infected remains to
be seen, buff it does it must be very
disastrous. Samples of the rust bitten
foliage have been forwarded to the State
College to have diagnosis of the disease
made.

mont is another ex-senator who takes
little stock in amending the constitution
SO as to provide for the election of Sena-
tors by popular vote. "The attack upon
the const. tuition and the House provision
for the election of Senators by the people
is" he says, IAN immense delusion and
an attempted disturbance of conservative
balance, as the Senate is the feature that
the. makers of the Constitution intended
to have most pronounced effect. The
quality of men selected through popular
vote is much more likely to reduce the
quality of the body, as is perfectly OBJ
vious to any person who is at all read
in the political history of this or other
countries. In one or two States it may
be possible to secure two or three men
to vote for particular Senator by means
OF purchase, which is particularly bad
thing, but it must be remem bered that
the men that manage that sort of thing
can control the primaries TO choose dele
gates to State convention more certain
ly than the members of any State legis-
lature ever elected, and that the people
may generally be relied upon to vote for
the party nominee, good or bad. If the
States of the Union have wise regard for
their own State independence and safety,
they will preserve the election in their
own legislative body as they preserve the
making of laws" If the opinion of Sena-
tors can be inferred from those of ex-
Senators-and there are certainly many
reasons why they should be similar

THE INDUSTRIALS.

The Industrial Army is confronted
with United States AIarshals and
Federal bayonets whenever attempts
to take possession of trains on rail
roads which are in the hands of re-
ceivers. The receivers are appointed
by Judges of the United States
Courts and the roads are therefore in
the hands Of United States officers.
Instead of calling on local officers for
assistance the receivers apply to Uni
ted States Marshals, and the marshals
call for Federal troops. At the pres
ent time many of the railroads of the
Northwest are in the hands of re-
ceivers and United States troops are
Sc mt to assist in arrestlng Industrials
who take possession of trains on
these roads. The Government has
to provide for the men while they
are held as prisoners, and they fare
the same as the troops who are
guarding them.
On roads which are not in the
hands of receivers if the Industrials
interfere with the running Of trains
they have to contend with the State
or county authorities, and as every
community desires to assis. the In
dustrials in getting away, few arrests
are made. The first regiment of
California Industrials, it is true, were
corraled at Ogden by order Of Cover
nor West, and at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, by order of Governor Jackson,
but the action of those officials did
not meet with approval from the cit
liens.

THE TRIUMPH OF MIR. BLAND.

"Silyer Dick" has won rather
dubious Glht in Missouri. Dubious,
we say, for two reasons. First, he
had the Administration forces to
fight on the main issue, and this he
won brilliantly, for whoever may
think it any easy matter to "down"
q Democratic Administration on a
vital point in Democratic State is
badly off. Second, it is rather
dubious tight in the way the resolu-
tions are expressed. The straight
demand for reconciliation is all
right, but what earthly sense is there
in this!
Should it become necessary, in
order to maintain the two metals in
circulation, TO readiust the ratio it
should be determined whether gold
has risen or silver has fallen, and
whether there should be change of
the gold dollar or of the silver dollar
or of both, to the end that whatever
ratio is adopted, the rights OF both
creditor and debtor shall be pre-
served alike, having in view the de-
msuds Of the people for circulating
medium.
Now, since it is recognition at the
mint that gives coinage value, what
bearing has that on the question:
If 1t were an original settlement in
determining ratios, then it would be
well t. enter on . scientific or ccm-
merical inquiry such as is suggested;
but since the ratio was of old est ID
lished by law, and the silver men are
not agitating any question of its cor
rectness, why raise the point in this
connecticut If the goldites want to
raise that point, let them; but the
real fight is u reopen the minis t.
silver coinage as of your.
As u the suggested doubt whether
in fact gold has or has not appreciat-
ed, it comes with a poor grace from
convention that votes four
to one in favor Of free coinage of
silver. BY comparison of prices OF
all leading commercial commodities,
has been shown repeatedly that
grain of gold will buy about double
of any of them, including silver, that
it would have bought twenty years
ago. No trade comparison can be
made that will fail to show the
greater purchasing power of gold:
and this fact is conclusive on the
point
After all, however, it was grea t
victory to beat the Administration
ioa the main question, even in Mis-
souri,, and the Tribune extends
hearty congratulations to Mr.. Bland
on his triumph Salt Lake Tribune.
