In speech in the Senate the other
day, part of which is published else
where, Senator Mills of Texas told Cor
man and Brice and the other compromis-
CHS just what he thought of their new
bill In vigorous English he denounced
the measure as violation of the Demo-
cratic platform and an utter failure to
redeem the party's pledges. Eetween
1t and the Mckinley law de frankly adj
mitsed there was but little to choose.
He protested against the amendments
and said he should vote in opposition to
the whole batch. But after making this
brave and true talk he wound up with
the assertion that notwithstanding its
character he should vote for the bill. AS
the New York Sun says it is very evil
dent that Mills's bark is much worse
than his bite.

light and take the responsibility for the
amendments which they have forced
upon this bill.
Mr.. Mills's speech completed the
humiliation of the members of the
Finance committee, who are responsible
for, but who are not the authors of, the
4O3 amendments proposed to the tariff
bill as reported to the Senate. AS the
original tariff reformer of the generation
bureaucratic congressman now in SER
vice, as the former chairman of the COM
mittee on Ways and Means, and the au-
thor of tariff bill which did not pass,
and as an unattached member of the
present Senate committee ON Finance,
Mr.. Mills seems fully qualified to ex-
press an opinion as to the merits and
Democracy of any proposed measure of
legislation. 1t was with flushed faces
and indignant looks, therefore, that the
memb of the Finance committee saw
the Texas Senator make a football of
their new tariff bill and spurn it with
gestures of insult and contempt. Mr..
Mills barks more readily than he bites,
however, for in the same breath that
he denounced the compromise measure
he expressed his intention to vote for its
passage. after voting against each one
of the 403 proposed amendments.
Senator German listened to Mr.. MiIls's
attack upon him, but was as smiling and
sphinxli.1e as usual. The Democratic
senators generally were evidently very
much annoyed at Mr.. Mills's speech,
which is accepted as an indication that
the enemies of the bill are not confined
to the Republican side of the cham Der.
Mr.. Mills's announcement, however,
that he would vote for the bill, as bad as
it is, gives them promise of final success,
for. as he is the most radical free trader
in the body, it is thought that none
others will allow their antagonism to
the German Republican measure to lead
them to vote against it.

What the precise effect of the revision
of che foot bail rules will be nobody but
an expert in the game is competent to
Judge. 1t is generally understood, how
ever, that the modification in the rules
has been made with view of rendering
the game less dangerous and less brutal.
The new rules forbid players to test the
strength of a mans spinal column by
piling thmselves upon him when he is
down. and from running at full speed
against one another. Very much will
depend upon how the rules are enforced
as the effect of them, but the modifca-
ton of rules in itself is an admission
that the game had become dangerous
and needed amendment. When persons
not experts suggested this last fall they
were ridiculed as timid and squeamish,
and 1t was declared that the game as
played was perfection. Amy modification
of 1t would destroy it's value as an educa-
tor and a preparation for the "battle of
life" Public sentiment, backed as il
was by facts, was too strong for the de-
Tenders and they have been compelled
to succumb, though of course they do it
reluctantly.

The Portland PRESS inquiries of the
Sun what are the grand principles of the
Democratic patty. Briefly stated they
people, by the people and for the people;
the preservation OF the autonomy of
the State; no further Capitalization
of power in the government at Washing
ton; no station of the citizens of this
country for the benefit of few individ-
uals or interests. The above are the
grand principles of the Democratic
party, crudely stated, as the Sun I'm.
derstands them.-Lewiston Sun.
If these are the principles of the Demo
cratic party it hasn't been living I'D to
them very we'll for good many years
past. In the States where Democratic
control is most complete it is notorious
fact that there is neither government by
the people nor for them. A dozen States
under Democratic control are governed
practically by oligarchies. AS for the
Capitalization of power at Washington.
the Democrats have never objected
when the kind of power that thew
wanted was centralized there. The last
principle of "no taxation of citizens for
the benefit Of few individuals or inter
ests" is dagrantly outraged in the tart IF
bill before the Senate which the Sun in
common with other Democratic papers
is supporting.

Rosebery became premier, and even
this margin, narrow as it is, cannot be
depended upon. Almost any day the

Professor Wilson has arrived in Wash

as tinkered by German and Briee under
the direction of the Sugar Trust and
Lead Trust. Naturally he did not recog-
nize it, and naturally he was very much
displeased with the changes that had
fsen made in it. His inclination is to
fight it, but he is a "cuckco" and will
do as Cleveland says.

LAST THURSDAYS STORM.

This section had a genuine touch
OF blizzard last week, and Thursday
was a wintry day. From ten to
fifteen inches of snow fell, and dur
ing the night the wind blew hard,
tossing the snow about wildly and
leaving it in drifts on highway and
railroad, blocking both means of
travel to a serious extent. Trains
from all directions were more or less
late during that day and night, and
IN some cases trainmen had a rough
time battling with heavy drifts.
Some of the country roads were so
blockaded as to be impossible until
broken out and crushed into fairly
hard condition by the roller.

season. herea bouts, and was follow

THINKS HE IS sHAMMING.

A gentleman at Plymouth, n. H.,
has received from a Minnea polls at
torney rather sarcastic letter IN
response to an inquiry as to what
had become of the w. 5. Streeter case.
We make some extracts, which tend
to show a rather shaky belief in Mr.
Steeeter's feeble physical condition:
whenever Mr. Streeter's case has
been called since his indictment, he
has found il convenient to be
dangerously sick with Bright's
disease, and has been able to obtain
the certificates of one, two, three or
four physicians to the effect that it
would be dangerous to his lite to
compel him to appear in court at
that time. Some OF US are OF opinion
that it would be a great deal more
dangerous to his liberty than to his
life, and this is what he hopes to
avoid. Whenever the case goes over
the term upon affidavits of this kind,
within four weeks from such con-
tinuance he appears upon the street,
his own smiling and suave self, dr1v-
ing nice team and apparently en-
loving himself, and, singular as it
may appear, about two weeks before
the time his case is set for hearing,
he has another severe attack of this
peculiar disease, and is confined to
his bed
The writer goes on to express the
belief that as long as Streeter can
keep up the appearance of physical
suffering, the ends of justice will not
be enforced in his case. The letter
closes thus:
1--WE are glad indeed to give you
this bit of informa ton, inasmuch as
YOU appear to be a stakeholder IN
the company, and have not only
lost all you put in It, but will be
called upon IN the near future to pay
out as much more. And this should
be done to save this poor man from
further sickness, and periodical eX-
pense of obtaining physicians GER
tifcates. Notwithstanding the fact
rhat the records show that nearly a
million dollars passed into his hands,
the disposition, or the application of
which is yet unexplained; the affi-
davit made by himself that he is
worth less than $4,000 ought to in
fiuence the people so that he may
not spend all he has employing doc
tors. This is the kind OF sympathy
he wants.
