AGAINST BUSINESS.


Upon the Democracy.
The country is now Tcaping the log
ical effects Of the recent republican
victories These victories are accepted
us the consequences of hard times and
the delay in repeating the Mckinley
bill. A the republicans wish to win
moro victories they are resolved to per-
petuate the hard times and continue
the delay as far rs they can. This is
simply the operation of the law Of sup
ply and demand.
When Senator Harris proposed TO ex-
tend tho daily sessions Of the senate in
order to afford facilities for discussion,
he was interrupted by an objection
from one OF the Pennsylvania senator's
before he had time to formulate his
proposition. Mr.. Frye stated he was
in favor of postponing the tariff bill
till next December. as he believed that
it would do more harm than the war
did. Mr. Quay said he would not work
extra hours in order TO pass bill that
would be the ruin of Pennsylvania.
Both these senators must be credited
with too much ability to permit them
to believe the extreme things they said
about the bill. But the whole tendency
of their remarks was to disclose an in
clinaton to obstruct the passage of the
bill, and to keep the business element
in suspense. They are satisfied that
business depression will help their
party
The menace to the country from this
conspiracy arises from the fact that
there are democrats in it. Some Of
these democrats are probably willing
to allow the Mckinley bill to remain
in force II does not seem To have oc-
Cured to these senators that a new
revenue bill is absolutely necessary,
even from the standpoint Of protection,
to which they seem to have become
converts. The Mckinley bill is not
yielding sufficient revenue There is a
deficit in the treasury. which msst
continue to grow larger SO long as the
business depression continues. The re.
publicans can contemplate this deficit
with equanimity. since their opponents,
having a numerical majority in both
houses, are responsible for legislation.
But the democrats cannot permit the
present situation to continue without
confcssing their inability to enact the
necessary legislation to carry on the
government The democrats who aid
and abct the republicans in this con
spiracy of obstruction can never in tho
future enjoy the respect Of the masses

Carlyle and the Picture of Himself Painted

CARLYLE suffered from dyspepsia and

neither ovcrsvmpathetic in intercourse
with his friends. nor fair in his esti-
mates of other writers.
Though he personally liked Tenny-
son. he spoke with impatience Of his
..cobbling his odes;' dismissed Jane
Austens novels as ''dish-washings;"
IIallam the historian. as dry as dust.
and Goldsmith as an Irish blackguard.
Even the writers Of editorials in
the press were saluted with this hard
saving: what are these fellows doing?
They only serve to cancel one another. :
A characteristic anecdote illustrates
his cruel disposition, which provoked
him 70 infiict pain even on friend.
An artist. who frequentcd Carlyle's
house. painted a picture of him in his
dressing gown smoking pipe by the
fireside. and Mrs Carlyle in an arm
chair sitting opposite him. The pic
ture was hung at one OF the Royal
academy exhibitions. and. though not
a striking work Of arr, was purchased
by Lord Carlyle's friend
! for five hundred pounds.
The delighted artist hurried of to
the Carlyles, expecting congratulations
on the sale. and some manifestation OF
pleasure on their part at having such a
value set on a picture of themselves
and their domestic interior. lie deiiv-
cred his glad tidings. but all the re-
Spouse he received from Carlyle was
well, in my opinion, five hundred
pounds was just four hundred and
ninety five pounds too much." Youths
