The Baltimore San breaches this SER

cratic side of the cham DER VINO seem in
cllnrd to forget that 10 not supporting
the Wilson bill they are violating the
pledges made to the people, especially
when their motives seem to be to rep
resent special Interests Instead OF the
prlncip.es OF the party. Saws the Sun:
For any Democratic Senator to Wayer
or weaken ia the support of his party
at this juncture will be an act of su-
preme ani objectionable disloyalty.
The citadel of protection was stormsd

statute books and iberating the limos
of ca pital and labor alike from the fet

IF now,'in the crisis of the legislative
effort to perform that duty, traitors are
found within our gates, dickering with

render of the key of tae position-the
Senate-to the Republican enemy, six
millions of Democratic voters will de-

The cause OF tariff reform and of Dem.
ocratic national supremacy are one
and the same. The Democratic Sena-
tor who proves false to the former will
be playing the part of Benedict Arnold
to both. We cannot believe it possible
that any Democratic Senator Will prove
recreant to his duty in this emergency.
Some OF them VIII probably attempt to
amend the bill, but if their ideas are
rot accepted we believe they will &C
quiesce in the judgment Of their Dem
ocratic colleagues. Any Senator
who would do less IS unworthy to be
called Democrat. He would be a
traitor in the camp.

a Raacorus Ex-Priest.

KANSAS Cry, Jan. l6.-The city is
wild with excitement tonight, the re-
suit of a riot preclpitated by an ex.priest
who bitterly assailed the Catholics.
An address was delivered by J. V. Nc
Namara, said to be from Rome. He
commenced by making raucorous at.
ta.k on the Catholics and the institu-
tions they hold 80 dear. He had not
proceeded far with his harrangue when
he was interrupted BY groans and Kisses
from the audience. These only seemed
to add intensity to the bitterness Of his
remarks, and the meeting con became
scene of bowling, excited men, and broke
up in disorder. After the hall had been
cleared crowd of men gathered on the
street and waited for the speaker to ap-
pear. When he came down from the
hall he was greeted by wells of derislon,
and there were cries Of ''hang him."
His friends collected about him, and an
attempt was made to push way through
the crowd. AS the angry mob crowded
about Mcnamara and his band OF sup
porters, pistols we're drawn and some
cne fred shot into the air. This
seemed the signal of general fight and
several shots we're exchanged. One man
was shot, bot he was taken
away by his friends. During the gen.
eral melee Mcnamara, the cause Of the
riot, managed to escape and is hiding
somewhere in the city. After the shoot
ing, the police made an assault upon the
struggling mob and many persons were
arrested. On all of those taken into
custody. pistols were fourd and it is
evident that fight was anticipated by
both sides and that they were prepared
to shed blood 10 case the difficulty re-
ached that stage. The city is In state
of wild uproar and more trouble ls feared
before morning.
