MORE CAUCUS HARMONY.

Another Democratic caucus was
made necessary yesterday by the fill
clustering tactics of the anti-income tax
mep, and, as usual, the party leaders
finally succeeded in whipping the re-
calEitrants into line, and once more
harmony has been obtained. IL is the
harmony that shakes hands with the
right hand while the left hand clutches
dagger to be plunged up TO
the hilt at the first time
the other fellow turns his back.
The fight in the caucus against the
income tax was very close. the vote
standing 80 to II. The only important
action taken by the caucus-for this
agreement to unite the Wilson bill and
the income tax can hardly be considered
important, as it will not be carried out in
good faith--was the decision TO provide
three days OF debate upon the internal
revenue part of the bill. This action
will postpone the vote on the Wilson
bill from Monday next to Thursday.
February |. and today the committee
on rules will submit the necessary order.

LET THERE BE QUICK WORK.

Congress will do well If it makes the
settlement of the Hawaiian affair short,
sharp and incisive. The facts are clearly
before it. There need be no doubt
nor equivocation. The correspond
ence that was finally pulled
away from the President
has strengthened rather than weakened
the case of the people. There is no oc-
casion for long drawn out debates. The
offender was caught in the act and con-
fessed his guilt. 1t will only detract
from the national self-respect to spend
weeks in trying to find excuses for an
arrant breach of international amity.
Let Congress rebuke President Gleve-
land without delay.

THE END OF BOOM TOWNS.

II doesn't often happen that a whole
''city" is sold under the hammer but
this is what has happened to Fort
Payne, Ala. The property sold in
cluded about 10000 acres Of land,
1000 town lots aud miscella-
neous quantity OF personality. Thus
the burial Of many hundreds OF thous-
ands Of good New England dollars is
briefly chronicled. Rhode Island did
not escape. Many a Rhode Island dol
lar lies in the grave of this dead enter
prise.
Fort Payne was the first OF the "boom
cities OF the SOUTH and here started
that speculative movement that before
1t ended embraced nearly every section
of the South and carried bankruptcy
and disaster along with IL like n
tidal wave. People simply went mad
over the glowing promises held
out by veteran boomers. Fort

NOT HELPING THE DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic opponents of the in
come tax are very much aggrieved be-
cause the Republican members of Con-
gress will not join with them in kill
ing the measure. The Republicans in
Congress are there because they repre-
sent Republican sentiment, a sentiment
which is in favor of protective tariff.
With such tariff as the Republicans
believe in there would he no-necessity
for an income tax. The Wilson
bill and the income tax are
the Samese twins of pernicious legisla-
tion. The Republican member in Con-
gress who would be guilty of aiding in
the passage Of either one, would be
guilty of treason to his own convictions
and to the principles of his party, as
well as traitor to the vast interests he
is sent to Congress to legslate for The
Democrats who oppose the income tax
spent yesterday in filibustering and ex-
pected the Republicans to join with them,
but the Republicans not only would
not join with them but strongly
condemned their action. To kill the
income tax would be to greatly increase
the chances of the passage of the Wilson
bill, and the Republicans can hardly
be expected to do anything that will
advance that bill towards its passage.

N. Y. Press.
The nomination of Mr.. Wheeler II.
Peckham for Associate Justice OF the
Supreme Court Is an insult to the Senate
of the United States. The nomination Of
Mr.. Hornblower was merely blow aimed
at the New York senators, and while a
petty and undignified act on the part of
the President, it was not an offence
against the Senate as a body. Mr.. Horn
blower was justly rejected, on the ground
of incapacity and because his nomination
was dictated by factional spite and per-
sonal resentment.
The case of Peckhsm is far different.
Not only Is he disqualified by temper and
disposition for the most important OF ju-
dicial Offices; not only is his nomination
dictated by spite and malice exceeding
the Hornblower case; but he had spoken
bitterly insulting words regarding the
senate OF the Omitted States within few
days previous to the presentation OF his
name to that body for Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court.

WILLIAM HAS ENOUGH.

Emperor William is on the right track
at last.
Since he began trying to run the
German empire without the advice,
and comfort of Prince Bismarck he
has made woeful mess of
it. He is young and hot-headed
and blessed with an abnormal bump Of
self-conceit. He thought he knew all
about handling the machinery of state
and asked no favors nor advice from
the great chancellor. He soon dis
covered his mistake. The manage
ment of great power like Germany
requires something less soluble than
costly raiment aud beef tea. The
crotchety little Kaiser has mad the Ger
man empire on the threshold of war a
dozen times since he undertook
to run things without the
aid of Bismarck. Ignorance
and eoneeit have marked every step Of
his way. Sooner or later he would have
precipitated a crisis, for his subjects
bear him little love for his arrogance
and there are several nations in Europe
that would heartily enjoy administering
to him sound spanking. The Kaisers
manifest duty now is to listen carefully
to what Bismarck has to say and profit
thereby. There is slight difference
between running an empire and drinking
a schooner of beer.

and passed the measure over the Mayors
head.
This is no time to pay high wages to
anybody. There are too many worthy
people actually starving and freezing to
warrant such course.
An equitable division should be made
that all may be sharers. The great prob
lem confronting our cities today is not
how to support a few in affluence, but
how to support all in tolerable comfort.
Two dollars a day when one dollar would
suffice practically bisects the ability Of
a city to care for its poor. In times
like these reason should take the place
Of hot-headed philanthropy.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
With Mr.. Dana's Compliments.

N. Y. sun.
Mr.. Peckham is born kicker and mar
plot. He is obstinate, irascible, capri
cious, cranky, and insurrectionary in
spirit. His public reputation here in
New York and SO far as it extends else
where, is not as a lawyer, but wholly as
persistent political mutineer.
He makes business of political sedition
and revels in it. He is the natural head
of every rebellion against the Democracy
which is plotted. He is an ingrained Mug
wump. There is no Office in the gift of the
people Of this city or this state, no
matter how small or unimportant, to
which he could be elected, or to which he
has ever been elected, though from his
youth up he has meddled in politics
almost Increasingly. Neither party wants
him, for neither trusts man whose can
tankerousness is SO constitutional and SO
ineradicable.
At the whole bur of New York there il
no man whose temperament is more un-
judicial than Mr.. Peckham's but as q
promoter of discord he can't be beaten.

WHERE ARE WE AT?

II is very thin veneer that separates
civilization from savagery and man
from the brute after all, and it only
takes such an affair as that of yester-
day to break through this thin artificial
layer and expose the savage lying un-
derneath. A prize fight naturally is not
calculated to bring TO the surface the
gentler phases of life but the spectacle
OF the two human brutes that were
struggling to deface each other
in the ring. was far less
disgusting and disheartening
than the mad scramble of the specta-
tors for the capture OF relics after the
fight. After seeing one of the most
wicked fights on record men made a
mad rush for the ring in the endeavor to
secure some memento to be prouuiy ex-
hibited as relic OF the savage encoun-
ter. The report to the morning papers
in describing the scenes immediately
following the fight, says:
"The relic seekers rushed for the
stage, and while some cheered them
selves hoarse, others made mad rush
for the blood spilled by Mitchell, which
they sopped up with their handkerchiefs
in order to have memento
of the great international battle
For fully half an hour after the fight
men could be seen wetting the leaves of
memorandum books and trying to Sc
cure a stain Of some sort from the we'll
sopped spots where Mitchelrs blood had
fallen. Some men who were more un-
fortunate than others in this respect
made stiff bid for souvenirs thus OBJ.
tanned, and some handkerchiefs well
stained with the Englishman's blood
sold for as high as IS and $1O."
Such disgusting revelation of the
brute in man makes the heart sick, and
one can hardly blame the pessimist who
asks If our boasted civilization has
accomplished anything.
1t is not an idle statement to
make that the eyes of the
whole "civilized" world were
turned towards Jacksonville yesterday
and that millions of people eagerly
awaited the news from the fight. There
was not q daily paper in the United
States which did not make preparations
TO publish as quickly as possible the
news, and which did not have an in.
creased demand for papers due entirely
to this battle between two brutes.
Why?
Is any other deduction possible than
that the people demand it? Yesterdays
prize fight was of more interest--tempo-
rarily it is true-to the people of the
United States than any question affect
ing the moral or material welfare of the
nation. 1t is humiliating to make the
confession, but there are the facts, and
facts are stubborn things.
II the prize-hght of yesterday was an
advance on the Olympic games of
Greece, the gladiatorial contests ~f
Rome and the tournaments of the Mid.
die Ages, the advancement is not notice
able, and resembles more a retrograde,
than an advance.
