The Democrats have gone to work
promptly to discredit the bonds that the
Democratic Secretary of the Treasury
has announced his intention of issuing.
Senator Morgan, one of the most promi-
nent Democratic Senators, proclaims
that they are issued under oues
tionable authority. Fithian, Demo-
cratic representative, denounces them as
Illegal, and the subcommittee of the
Judiciary Committe has already agreed
upon report which pronounces them
unauthorized by law. Luckily for the
country and the treasury, tinanciers do
not take much stock in the opinions of
these gentlemen, else the Secretary's
appeal for money to enable the govern
ment to pay the expenses would be in
vain. But it is an edifying spectacle to
see Democrats on the floor of the House
and Senate denouncing their own Sec

One Of the best ways to strengthen and
perpetuate the American Protective AS
ISOLATION is the one that certain Catholics
in the West are taking to exterminate it
by mobbing it's orators. Mcnamara let
alone would probably be of little account
and his influence very feeble, but Nc
Namara hooted and stoned and threat
ened with lynching Immediately becomes
power. The crowd of zealots who are
pursuing him need to have some comm on
sense injected into their heads. This is
free country, and the Roman Catholic
faith and its tendencies is legitimate
subject for discussion. If It's believers
choose to answer attacks upon it with
brickbats instead of arguments the
natural inference is that they select the
former because they think these better
adopted to the purpose The methods
of the American Protective Association
are not to our liking, but so far as we
know. they violate neither the legal nor
natural rights of anybody. If pur-
chance they should transgress the former
the law can be appealed to by the
aggrieved, if the latter, public sentiment
can be trusted to correct them. But in
no event are they amenable to mob law

. Massachusetts, is one of the few States
which in the past has taken an approx
mately fair and common sense view of
the taxation of evidences of debt, that
are in no true sense of the word property.
But now a special legislative tax COM
mittee recommends that it go back on it's
record, by restoring to the taxable list
many kinds of evidences of debt. which
have been exempted simply because it
was just to exempt them, and by trying
to squeeze out of the property owners by
means of oaths and penalties detailed
report of all their possessions, including
the evidences of debt which they may
hold, with a view of taxing all of them. In
effect this committee proposes to inaugu-
ate the listing system which has been
tried over and over again, and almost
always failed to accomplish what il
is intended to. If the Massachusetts, leg
islators want to drive property and en-
terprise out of the State the passage of
this law is an expeditions method of do
ing it.

Doubtless Cleveland would like to try
Hornblower upon the Senate again if he
thought there was the slightest chance
of reversal of the former verdict He
hates to have mis- will baked, as wit
ness his persistence in his project of
setting up Liluokalani after she had re-
jeoted his conditions and insisted OH cut
ting off the heads of her enemies. A
man less persistent than the President
would have stopped all negotiations
with the Queen after her first refusal
but Cleveland not only instructed Willis
to keep on, but also withheld his mes
sage to Congress to allow time for the
consummation of his project before
Congress could interfere. There will
be no attempt, however, to resurrecJ
Hornblower simply for the reason that
his resurrection would be impossible.

Senator GalIinger's argument against
the income tax, that it is sectional one
and will bear isproportionately on New
England. is not one calculated to make
the scheme less palatable to it's advocates
but quite the reverse. The South and
far West have not been ignorant of the
fact that the income tax would bear
most heavily upon the Middle
and Eastern States. Indeed it is
che knowledge of that fact that
has commended 1t TO them chiefly.
If the South thought that the bill would
bear equally upon the different sections
it would fight it tooth and nail for the
people of that section don't want any
federal officials spying into their affairs.
They are willing to tolerate them in this
instance however in consideration of the
big advantage they will get out of sad
ding most of the expenses of the gov
eminent upon the North.

Frank A. Burr, who died Monday at
Camden, Nj, was one of the most wide
ly known of American newspaper CORES
pondents. He began his newspaper ca
reer in Washington. After the war closed
he secured a position in the government
printing Office. He had been there only
a short time when he secured position
in the composing room of the Washington
Chronicle. the editor of which was Col.
John W. Forney. then secretary of the
Senate, and also editor and publisher
of the Philadelphia Press.
In sketching his life the PHILADELPHIA
Times says:

of the Cincinnati Enquirer, was then
city editor of the Chronicle, and in con-
sequence of Burr, the printer. acciden-
tally writing "a clever account of a fire

a reporter.

into journalism. 1t became his duty

Senator Hill is talking up Judge
Rufus W. Peckham of the New York
court of appeals for the place thai Horn
blower failed to get. No doubt Peck
ham is well qalified for the place, but
there is plenty of room for suspecting
that is not the thing that commends
him to Hill. 1t is rather the fact that
his elevation to the Supreme bench
would leave vacancy in the New York
court of appeals for Gov. Flower to fill
with somebody selected by Hill, possibly
by the discredited Maynard. But there
is no possibility of the Presidents walk
ing into this trap

The problem of providing against a
treasury deficit is to Jerry Simpsons
mind as easy of solution as rolling OFF a
log. Jerry's remedy is to set up printing
press and strike off greenbacks. This
method is capable of indefinite extern
sion, and we don't see why it couldn't
be used to solve the problem of revenue
which the House is quarreling about.
Why not abolish taxes altogether and
let all the government expenses be paid
in greenbacks, based on the faith and
credit of the whole people"

The Democratic congressman seem to
be In thorough harmony on two points,
They all concur that the offices sh Guild
be filled with Demo Gratis, and that all
the laws that obstruct the stuffing .of
ballot boxes and the intimidation of
voters should be swept off the statute
book, the sooner the better If there is
anything else under the sun upon which
they agree the country hasn't found it
out. A tariff for revenue only was one
of the cardinal principles of their plat
form, but SO many of them were opposed
to that kind of tariff when the time
for tariff making came that it was
necessary to patch up compromise, but
even the compromise has failed to har-
monte them and nothing but the vigor-
GUS plying Of the administration whip
can force it through the House, and
there is strong reason for believing that
even that will not suffice to put it
through the Senate. Another cardinal
principle of the platform was non-inter-
ference with the States out of which
grew the recommendation for the repeal
of the tax on State banks. But here
again the Democratic congressman are
at skies and sevens. While some demand
that the platform be lived up to and the
tax be repealed without conditions:
others insist that conditions be imposed
that will make the resuscitated State in
situations substantially national banks
under the control and direction in all
important particulars of the national
government. The national platform did
not say anything at all about an income
tax, but as if the congressman didn't have
enough things to quarrel about, some
body started the income tax idea and
Immediately another row was precipitat-
ed which is still raging furiously. The
quarrel over the attempt to set up the
sanguinary Liliuokalani is still sup
pressed by the tariff dispute but it is
coming. Day before yesterday Secretary
Carlisle projected into their midst an
apple of discord in the shape of a bid
for bonds and they have now gone to
fighting over that with great vigor.
And it is upon this crowd that the
salvation of the country is alleged to
depend.
