THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS

A Democratic contemporary proposes as a
good ticket for Its party for 1896 German and
Havemeyer. The only trouble Is that Have
meyer will not be disposed TO take second place
in 1896, after having had first place in 1904

Senator Vest OF Missouri has promised to let

IN HIS OWN GOOD TIME.

Washington correspondence states that
the members OF the Cabinst and Demo-
cratic leaders in the House are kept in
the dark as to the Presidents intention in
respect to the tariff bill. The wisdom of
the provision which limits the time during
which the President may hold bill with
out losing control of il is thus demon
strated. If it were not for the provision
the present autOcrst Of the White House
might hold the bill until Congress should
pass one that suits him. The bill which
finally passed the House had been before
the country for several weeks when the
House passed it. LIZ was before the country
when the President wrote the letter to
Chairman Wilson which furnished Senator
Hill the ground for the prediction that if
the House should pass the bill the Presi-
dent would veto it And yet the President
takes the last hour the law allows for con-
sideratOn of the bill. He doubtless en-
joys the situation. The whole country
wants to know what he proposes to do,
and he refuses to give sign. His Cabinet
do not know, Congress does not know. and
Of course business men do not know.
Probably President Cleveland will not
have another opportunity TO hold the
world in waiting during ten weekdays
and two Sundays, and he evidently pro-
poses TO make the most of it.

NAMED FOR THE SUPREME
BENCH.

One cannot avoid the conclusion that the
Democratic State convention has made
sever al nominations in the interest OF the
Republican nominees for the same posi-
tion. OF course the nomination of Jack
son Temple is not included as one of these.
Judge Temple holds about the same posi-
ton in the Democratic party that Judge
de Haven holds in the Republican, and
his name would give strength to whatever
ticket it might be placed OF. But it is
hard to suppose that big Jim Murphy"
was named for the Supreme Bench with
any idea that he could be elected. He
does not belong to the class of men from
whom Supreme Court Judges have been
selected. He is known to the people of
this State to the extent to which he is
known as legislative jobber whose vote
on non-political matters was subject to
emergencies. His judicial experience
commenced where his legislative expert
euce ended. There have been worse men
In the Legislature and on the bench, but
the nomination of big Jim" for the
Supreme Bench partakes of the nature OF

GEARY FORGIVEN.

The Democrats Of the First Congress
sional District have renominated Thomas
j. Geary, the Congressman who has been
for some months in disgrace on account of
his vote against the Wilson tariff bill. For
some time Democratic wrath against Mr..
Gesry has been subsiding. Most of the
Democrats of his district perceived that
they could not hold their temper against
Geary without including a larger number
of Democratic Senators under the ban of
accommodation than the party can well
spare. The fact is that the Senate as a
body voted against the Wilson bill, and
for much the same reasons Mr. Gsary
gives. In year OF two from date the
party will dcubtle IS get abreast OF Mr.
Geary on the tariff question. The troublt
about Geary is that in an interview pub.
lshed in the newspapers he sided with
Senator White and the administration in
favor of the Chinese treaty which repealed
the exclusion act and weakened restriction

ton is narrow aud forced. The conven-
ton is to an extent responsible for the
measures it submits. The fact of submis-
sion is recommendation. The conveR-
ton certainly would not submit PROPOSE
ton majority of its members believed
would be prejadicial TO the best interests
OF the State. Ii seems clear, from the
comments. of New York papers, that the
suffrage advocates injured their cause by
an excess of zeal. They were too active
In their lobbying and too ready 10 sacrifice
other Interests for votes. They offered,
for example, TO make a deal with labor
delegates whereby they promised nearly
their solid vote for all the labor amend
mens if the labor delegates would vote TO
submit the suffrage resolution. While this
was in imitation of the tactics of a certain
class of male voters, it did not commend
itself even TO the labor delegates or to del
egates who proposed labor amendments.
II is not probable that any populous State
will confer suffrage on women until by
one means or another the sense OF women
on the proposition has been taken.

OUT OF COURT.

The fact that the New York coustitu.
tional convention has decided by a vote OF
81 to 5S not to submit the proposition 10
confer the right of suffrage upon women to
a vote of the people is construed in some
quarters as a decision by men not to give
women the poor chance Of an affirmative
decision by male voters. This eonstruc
