Seer etary Carlisle has one good trait; be
knows where to look for good advice when
he is in hole. He is in q hole now. and
it is deep aud dark one. Having called in
vain upon his party associates in Congress
for legislation that would provide the money
to meet the deficit made by the announce
ment of the Cleveland tariff programme. has
now called upon Senator Sherman for advice
and aid. Senator Sherman told the Demo.
cratic Senators at the time they declined his
suggestion that the silver repeal bill should
be amended SO as to authorize an issue Of
bonds that The administration would in the
end have to Issue bonds. Well, the end ID
in sight and the administration is going to
issue bonds. with or without the, consent Of
Conress. II Congress will authorize an
Issue OF bonds they can be made to -raa q
short period aad to carry only three, pei
cent interest; if Congress will not aashoriEs
the bond issue, they sre to be ISSUED under
the law Of 1875 and will conseq uently carry
four or four aad one.half per cent interest
and will run . long time. The bonds have
been printed and the official announcement
OF their issue may be made at any time.
Mr.. Cleveland is 40 obstinate as ever.
notwithstanding the humiliating position in
which he is placed by the last batch Of Ha.
waiian correspondence, which includes
President Dole's manly and straightforward
answer to Minister Willis's demand that the
provisional government retire in favor Of the
dissolute woman who had previously an.
nounced her intention to behead her oppo.
nents as soon As she got back into power,
and which was sent to the Houss Saturday
and to the Senate to-day. he still wishes to
restore the queen, and 10 making use Of the
methods which have become SO familiar
since tho meeting Of the extra session to
convert" members of Congress to his views.
II public opinion instead of being atrongly
opposed as it has been from the first, had
been Overwhelmingly in favor of restoration.
this batch Of correspondence. which includes
the dispatches of Willis heretofore withheld,
would have made restoration impossible.
If plain arguments and incontrovertibls
facts counted for anything with Democrats
the Cleveland tariff bill would have been
buried beyond hope Of resurrection by those
presented against it by the few Republicans
who have had an opportunity to speak dur.
ing the sbsurdly short time allowed for
general debate. The orders to railroad the
bill are imperative and there is little proba-
bility that any of the numerous amend.
ments which will be offered by dissatisfied
Democrats during the debate under the five
minute-rule. which will occupy the.rest Of
the time until tie Goth inst, when the bill
will be voted upon. will BE- adopted. But
there is one consolation ahead, Mr.. Cleve.
land will not be able to recognize this bill
when the Senate Finance Committee gets
through with it. Nothing could show
palmer what the Democrats of the House
really want than the applause they gave to
the out and out free trade speeches Of Tom
johnson Of Ohio. Jerry Simpson of Kansas
and Bryan of Nebraska. They want fire.
trade and as Representative Black of Illinois
who wants to succeed Senator Cullom, put
it, to reduce wages in the United States t,
the level of those paid in other parts Of tn,
world. That is a beautiful and snticinl
programme to lay before nation Of wag,
earners, isn't it.
