Will the President Sign the BinP

There is a great deal of speculation as
70 whether or not the President will sign
the tariff bill. The republican papers
are doing their utmost TO convince him
that he cannot sign il without bringing
upon himself humiliation and disgrace.
The New York Tribune, for instance,
says: "The President should have the
breadth Of craftsmanship and the practi-
cal experience to realize that the tainted
and offensive measure from which fren-
zied congressman hope for partisan ad-
vantage can only yield a crushing party
defeat"
II is true that the President, in his now
famous letter to Chairman Wilson, said
the Senate bill was not such reform Of
the tariff as the people wanted, but he
did not say he would not sign it if it
should be sent to him. And he may not
sign it. But if he does not he will let it
become law without his signature. He
will not veto IT, The bill will become a
law. There is no good ground for doubt
ing that it will
The President understands that the
people want the bill to become a law.

awhile. They would like to give the
new tariff trial, and if it is
followed by a fair degree of prosperity
they will willingly commission the Demo
cratic party to make a still greater reform
in the tariff
If the President signs the bill it is prob
able that he will send a message TO con
press with the announcement ont that he has
done So in which he will point wherein
congress has failed to come up to the eX-
pectations of the people. He has gone to
Gray Gables. his summer home, for few
days rest, and while there he may put
into writing what he wishes to say to con-
gress and the Democratic party.
That the bill VII become law there
is every reason to believe. The very gen
eral impression is that it will Importers
and manufacturers are acting as if they

Scared Sugar Planters.

The fact that the House, only a few
members dissenting, passed a bill putting
raw, as well as refined, sugar on the free
list has greatly alarmed the Louisiana
sugar planters, and all others who are
interested in the sugar interests of that
state. A great many of them believe
that the Senate will pass the bill-if not
at this session. then at the next-because
of the overwhelming sentiment in favor
of cheap sugar.
While they have some ground for alarm
the chances are that there will be no
futher legislation in respect to sugar by
this congress. There would be probably
if the sugar trust could be reached without
striking Glow at the sugar planters, be-
cause there is great hostility to
the trust. 1t is apparent, however,
that there are enough senator's
who favor either protection to the sugar
planters or to the sugar trust TO prevent
any further legislation in respect to sugar
for many months. There is, therefore,
no reason why the sugar producers should
be alarmed at this time.
Chairman Wilson of the ways and
means committee said to a representative
of New Orleans paper, Immediately
after the passage of the tariff bill, that he
favored a fair duty on raw sugar He
declared he was even ready to pay this
years bounty on sugar. He stated that
the sugar trust was responsible
for the failure of the sugar
growers to get tair treatment, and that
the Republican party is responsible for
tho trust. 1t is not improbable that
something will be done toward paying the
bounty, or at least a part of it, on this
years crop, which was made with the
understanding that the bounty would be
| paid on it. There is very friendly feel
ing in congress for the sugar producers,
| and the bitterest kind of hostility toward
the sugar trust. Refined sugar would
have been put on the free list without
trouble if it had not been for that small
group of democratic senators who stood
by the trust from tho beginning
of the tariff contest. They
would stand by it again if an effort should
be made to take from the trust any part
of the protection it has.
One strong reason why raw sugar will
not be put on the free list is that the
revenue from it is needed by the govern.
ment, The letter from Secretary Carlisle
published in our dispatches yesterday,
shows that without the revenue from
raw sugar there would be a shortage in
the income of the government of about
SOS, 100000 a year. There is no danger
therefore, that raw sugar will be put or
the free list

Another Letter to Wilson.

According 10 the Washington CORE
spondent Of the New York World the
President has written another letter TO
Mr.. Wilson, the chairman of the ways
and means committee. The President has
a very high appreciation of Mr.. Wilson's
services in behalf Of tariff reform and
very great regard for him as a man.
Mr.. Wilson has not given this second
letter 10 the press. 1t is not of a charac-
ter to create as much Of a sensation as the
first one did. If, however, the World s
correspondent has a proper understand
ing of its contents the President expressed
himself very freely in respect 10 the
failure Of congress topass such a tariff bill
as the Democratic party had promised
the people. AT one time the President
says he had begun to doubt
whether the Democratic party was, after
all, the real party of tariff reform,
but he had not permitted himself 10 en-
terrain the thought realizing imme-
diately that no matter what might be the
temporary obstacles in the way of prog
ress the party must continue its crusade
and its members must remain loyal TO the
cardinal principles of their organization"
If the President wrote as above to Mr..
Wilson he must have been in a very de-
pressed state of mind. The Democratic
party is all right-it is as earnestly in
favor of a genuine reform Of the tariff as
it is possible for it to be, but all who pro-
TESS to he democrats are not tariff reform
ers. There is a democratic majority in the
Senate but there is not a majority of
tariff reformers. Neither Smith, Brice,
German, Murphy, nor others that might
be mentioned, are tariff reformers. They
all insisted, when the tariff bill was I'M
der consideration, upon protection for
articles in which their constituents are
interested, and in order to get what they
wanted in the way of protection they
were compelled to grant what others
wanted. 1t will not be possible to pass a
genuine tariff reform bill and down the
sugar trust until the democrats have a
good working majority of tariff reformers
and opponents of trusts in both the Sen
ate and the House.

The Mnrnhvs Not Indians.

The Secretary of the Interior and
the House committee on Indian affairs
have severally and conformity settled an
Indian question which, besides involving
a neat sum in property values, contained
also a rather ludicrous element.
1t seems that the Sac and Fox Indians
control in Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-
souri, quite a large lot of particularly
fertile and well improved lands. Living
with the Indian tribe some years ago was
a family of pretty generous numbers by
the name of Murphy. The Murphys had
been living among the Indians for years,
and claimed that they were themselves
Sacs and Foxes. And being Indians, they
demanded their share of the lands.
The Sacs and Foxes who were not Muir
phys, but boosted names of the good old
hyphenated kind, which, when TRANSLATED,
meant Snake-in-the-Grass, Bug Down-the-
Back-of- His-Neck, Big Man Fighting
Drunk aud other cuphonious combinations
like these, denied the claim of the Muir
phys and refused their demands. The
Milesian Indian claimants appealed to
| congress and to the interior department
| lOE WudJ buby COnSlucLeu buelr rights.
| The appeals went through the mills in
| the orthodox way, and have recently
come out again in the shape of finely
ground grist.
Secretary Smith, in his ruling, sustains
| the red Indians with the picturesque
names in their denial of the kinship of
the Murphy Indians, and establishes the
interesting principle that in contentious OF
! the nature of that under considerat ton, it
is the prerogative of the tribe to decide
who are its members. The report of the
| House committee says that while there
may be foundation for the claim to Indian
| kinship made by the petitioners, it is very
clear that the Murphys are not Indians in
the sense necessary to bring them under
the Indian laws and compel an allotment
of Indian lands to them.
The family name of the claimants prob
ably had a good deal to do with their ad
verse luck. One would about as soon ex
pect to find Polish-Hebrew family
named McGinnis as an Indian family
named Murphy

a Real Reform Measure.

From Springfield CMlssl Republican tInd.).
The bill which has teen adopted by both
branches of congress has been counted a high
tariff measure little better than the existing
law. No mistake could he greater.
Here, then. Is a measure of reform Substan-
tial, tar-reaching, and we believe, of inesti-
maule benefit to American industry. To call
this a protection bill Is TO call that protec-
tlon which the republicans In 1883 called free
trade The Mills bill never suggested so
much reduction as is here provided. and that
bill was heralded over the land by its oppon-
enls rs a free tralo mnasnre.

So far as the information went, Florida
was still above water and New York was
doing business at the old stand last night
Prof. Falb, an Austrian scientist who
was once a tutor in the university at
Gratz, Germany predicted some time ago
that on Thursday, Aug. l6, 1894, New
York would be destroyed by an earth
quake and Florida would be engulfed by
a tidal wave that would follow the quake
In connection with the mention of seis-
mic disturbances and tidal waves, Profs
Spencer and Shaler told the American
Association for the Advancement of Sci
ence, at its meeting in Brooklyn on
Tuesday, some interesting things Prof.
Spencer asserted that there was abund-
ant evidence TO prove that Louisiana and
the adjacent territory was at one time
5000 feet higher above sea level than at
present. Several of the West India isl
ands, he said, had had two or three
periods of re-elevation, and had subsidized
again. Prof. Shaler said he had been
making investigations in Florida, and
was sure that at the present time a very
great part of the state, or what should be
the state, is under water. Springs of
fresh water that are now found bubblng
up in the salt water were once on the
main land. Lately the state has been
drying out, " and he is inclined TO think
that a period of re-elevation is at hand
