THE SENATE AND THE TARIFF.

The senate has been guilty Of passing
beyond the bounds Of the power which
the trainers Of the constitution intend
ed to confer upon it The representa-
tives Of the states have certainly M
moral right TO change the principle Of
taxation which under the constitution
the representatives, OF the people have
fixed upon. To accept the senate bill as
IS stands, or without material modifcas
tons would be a surrender by the house
of privileges more ancient than the res
public.-N. Y. World (dem9.

celed as speedily as possible. 1t is a
stain upon the national records and
should be expunged. Collecting revenue
by customs duties has proved the most
indirect, costly, wasteful and corrupt
system Of taxation ever devised. Why,
then. should there be any fight 10 sus~

country longer under the pernicious and

tionism?' Give us back the Wilson bin

date expressed at the polls in 1890 and
1892. 1t is the senate which has kept the
country upon the rack Of anxiety and
suspense for more than five months past
which has disappointed the hopes 70
which the peoples victory in November

and protracted almost beyond endurance
the business depression and distress OF
the present year; which has borne the
fruit of Coxeyism and of blood and ans

The composition of the conference coms
mittee continues the responsibility where
il already rests-upon democratic sena-
tors. It is no longer, however, a re-
sponsibility divided among fOrty-odd
men. 1t must be met, primarily at least,
by the four who represent the demo-
cratic majority on the conference com-
mittee. 1t is a grave and serious respon-
sibiity TO be borne by any men. and one
that cannot be shifted upon any caucus
management or pledges. As Mr.. Wilson
we'll puts it. it is an obligation to be
discharged by the conferees under the
overwhelming sentiment Of fidelity "a
their party pledges and to their duty
to the people who have sent them" THAI
is a sentiment which should overwhelm
every consideration Of personal and self
ish interest, every plea or claim of pro-
tected monopolies and trusts, no matter

Chicago was in the clutches OF a reign
OF terror" that the whole country was
IN monetary peril Of falling into the

Safeguarding workingmen. and when

anarchist. it is the worst Of precedents
for an official to inaugurate a boycott
against a newspaper simply because 1t
does not take his view of the situation.

Such tyranny is quite as great morally
as the denial Of right Of property. 1t is
part and parcel Of the same thing.
We say this was less offensive than
the reported action of Adjt.-Gen. Rob-
bins. because he is a public official and
is supposed to be engaged in maintaining
order without taking sides in the con-
troversy between the strikers and their
employees. If he has taken such action,
as reDOrted no has identified himself
with the cause Of the corporations. and
put himself completely out Of line as a
public official engaged in preserving the
peace and enforcing the law. Such a
position demands as complete neutrality
as a judicial position. and no person
who is lacking in that quality should be
permitted to occupy such position for a
moment. The press must be free if this
country is to be free.

tries of the world. It's agriculturlsts sees
that there is much money in the fruit
of the vine and the various beverages
that can be made from it.
This is one of the great industries of
France. No less than seventy-six of its
departments are engaged in the cultiva-
ton of the grape and the manufacture Of
wines. brandies, etc.
In 1877 no less than 5.S66,242 acres were
devoted to this industry; in 1892 this ex-
tent of country had fallen to 4,527, 500
acres; but in 1893 this number was in
creased by about $4,000 acres. But. while

Don't LOSE SIGHT OF TfIE FACTs

DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACTS.
1t is we'll at all times to keep the facts
in any controversy we'll in mind. The
facts which have really led up to the
great strike, which is now paralyzing
the country. should not be lost sight of.
They are very ably set forth by DR.. w.
B. Clarke in the following letter:
To the Editor-Sir: How many people
can tell what the original strike at Pull
man was for? / have not been able to
find one, even after asking many. The
common story on the street and in the
papers is that the men struck for in
creased wages. If I have read history
Alright they struck because of broken
promise on the part of their employers.
We all know that on May a committee
of the men waited on President Pullman
asking for increased wages, he showing
that an increase could not be granted as
work was being done at a loss in order
to provide employment. This committee
had been promised immunity from moles-
tation because of its connection with this
work, vet on May IL three of the men,
Peterson, Hasty and Watson. were laid
off, and 1000 men therefore laid down
their tools because of that fact, and that
evening the whole works closed. The men
may never have struck for increased
wages as they had Mr.. Pullnlan's ulti-
matum, but they did strike for the res
toration of the three men who had lost
their positions because of their devotion
to the interests of the workInen. The
men have ever been ready to arbltrate
and the Pullmans as steadily against ii,
and when arbitrat ton comes the above
described broken promise will figure most
prominently. w. B. CLARKE, NJ. d.
Out of this state of affairs has grown
great deal of difficulty. It isn't fair to
put all the blame upon the men. II isn't

THE CAUSE OF ARBITRATION.

1t is somewhat peculiar that so many
past week or ten days, forgotten that
there was something in the strike in which
society in general had stake. Occasion
ally we have found a judge or a governor
who realized it. But these have been
rare. As a rule the opinion has been that
there has been but one side to the present
question and that the railroad side.
President Cleveland does not seem to
have lost sight of the facts at any stage.
We have the press dispatches saying that
he will appoint an arbitration commission
as soon as the lawlessness at Chicago Is
ended This is all that anyone could rea-
sonably ask. The act under which the
president viii appoint a commission pro-
vides that when controversies arise be-
tween transportation companies engaged
in interstate commerce and their en-
ployes. obstructing the transportation Of
property or passengers. an arbitrator shall
be selected by each of the parties to the
dispute-these two arbitrators to select
a third. This board shall, after a fun in
vestigation. publicly announce its decision.
which, with all testimony, shall be filed
with the United States commissioner of
labor.
The statute further provides that the
president of the United States may Sc
lect two commissioners. one OF whom. At
least. shall be a resident of the state or
territory in which the controversy arises,
who, together with the ,corpissfQner of
labor, shall constitute a. temporary COM
mission for the purpose of examining the
causes of the controversy, the conditions
accompanying and the best means for
adjusting it; the result Of which examina-
ton shall be Immediately reported to the
president and congress, and on the rem
dering of such report the services of the
two commissioners shall cease. The serv-
ices Of the commission, to be ordered at
the time by the president and constituted
as herein provided. may be rendered by
the president for the purpose of settling
. controversy such as contemplated either
upon its own motion or upon the applica-
lion of enc of the parties to the contro-
versy. or upon the application of the exc
cutive Of a state.
Upon the direction of the president the
commission shall visit the locality of the
pending dispute and shall make careful
inquiry into the cause thereof. hear ali
persons interested therein who may come
before it. advise the. respective parties
what, If anything. ought to be done or
submitted by either or both to adjust
such dispute and make a written decision
thereof. This decision shall at once be
made public. shall be recorded upon prop
er books of record, to be kept in the of
flee of the commissioner of labor, who
shall cause copy thereof to be filed
with the secretary of the state or terri
tory. or states or territories in which the
controversy exists
This arbitration does not offer final
settlement of the labor troubles by any
means. In fact. it offers no settlement
whatever. But 1t does offer a chance to
get the facts, the exact facts, before the
public, and that is much. The American
public is very nearly competent to settle
all these things when once it knows the
facts

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
The Reign of Terror TO he Abolish
ed--The Bands of Outlaws TO
be Vigorously Pursued.

The ARDMOREITE learns from a very
reliable source that the department Of
justice will pursue a vigorous policy
in regard TO the bands Of outlaws now
infesting the Indian Territory.
From private dispatches received
in this city from the Office OF the At
torney General of the United States it
seem that at ! asst the situation in the
Territory has attracted the attention
OF the authorities at Washington.
The United states Mlrshals aad the
Indian police have been ordered to
Immediately phase possess in the field
on the trail of Che several gangs OF
freebooters operating in this section
and follow day and night without cess
sation until the the entire outfit Is
wiped out of the country.
The article published in yesterdays
ARDMOREiTE from the Washington
dispatches has awakened the authOri-
ties at the capitol city to the existing
condition OF affairs here, and while
martial law will not be declared over
the territory, proper steps will be
taken to secure and protect the rights
of corporations, express companies
and individuals In the land of the red
man, even ii IL requires the United
States army to effect that end.
Is IL not about time these little side
show governments Of the five tribes
were abolished and a condition of
affairs brought about by which the
citizens of the United states living in
this territory could themselves regu-
late the peace aud morals of their re-
spectiye communities and blot out the
stain of lawlessncss which day by day
grows larger under the present re-
gime.
II would seem that this last move
Of the United States government is
proof sufficient of the inability Of the
tribes TO govern this land, and that
immediate steps should be taken to
place it under the protecting wing of
the union and give jurisdiction to the
courts to dispose Of criminals near the
scenes Of their crimes.
