TURN THIS COMMITTEE OUT

We mentioned a day or so back that
the amendment 10 the Constitution Of
the United States providing for the cleo
ton OF United States senators by direct
vote Of the people which passed the
House OF Representatives several weeks
back. had gone over to the Senate, and
had been referred by that body to it's
Committee on the Judiciary. There that
amendment Will forever sleep amidst the
dust OF some unused pigeonhole. and the
senators who desire to vote for it Will
never be given an opportunity TO do so.
nor VIII those who wish TO debate IT and
show to the people the absolute necessi-
~ that IL should be adopted, ever be
given an opportunity TO present the sub
Ject TO the American people. This Is
scandaious. unlawful, disgraceful. and a
reproach to the fair name OF Constitu-
tonai Government. This Judiciary Com
mittee pigeonholes the names OF worthy
men whom the President nonninates for
once whenever a senator states Ia II
that the nominee is an enemy to the RING

HuMBUGGtEY. FIAT HUMBUGGERy.

III the press dispatches from NdSDlnS-
ton are TO be relied on, II is not coal and
iron ore that separate the conferees OF
the House and Senate, but the tax on
sugar. Mr.. Cleveland in his letter to Mr..
Wilson, laid so much stress upon the ne
cessity to have coal and iron ore ad-
rntted free, while conceding that sugar
was a proper source of revenue. that we
had supposed the difficulty was with coal
and iron ore. 1t seems now, however,
that IL is sugar.
1t Is absurd. almost criminal, that the
country should be longer kept under its
present strain on this account. There Is
no substantial demand anywhere, except
amongst cheap demagogues, for free SUI
gar. Mr.. Cleveland has conceded that
sugar is a proper subject of taxation; all
the best thought of the country comedies
the same thing; there is nothing that
amounts 10 party representation in Con-
gress that denies II. and the Louisiana
senators, without whose vote no tariff bill
can be passed. declare openly that they
will not consent TO a repeal of the Nc
Kinley bill unless tax is imposed on
sugar. Sugar must, therefore, bear a tax.
This being so, what is the sense OF squab-
bling any further over the particular rate
of dutvo The rate which the Senate bill
provides for is conceded TO be one which
Will raise a very large part of the de-
ficiency in the revenue which cuts in
other importations Will bring about; il is
conceded TO be small enough TO make
no appreciable difference in the price Of
the sugar which the people use. What
then is there in the thing that is worth
an hours controversy? We hear OF moth
ing 10 justify 1t but the necessity which
certain alleged statesmen feel under 10
Justify the consistency of their conduct
before the world.
To the dogs with these demagogues and
their conduct, and their consistency, too.
Nobody cares a rap for them or their con-
sistency, either What the country wants
IS a law that reduces tariff duties and Sc
cures It rest and repOse. The Senate bill
reduces taxes as now imposed by the
Mckinley bill about 81 per cent, while
the House bill would only reduce them
about 80 per cent. The difference be-
tween the two is not worth an hours
discussion. and the Senate bin is one of
vast Importance TO the people.
We tell every man who further opposes
the acceptance of the Senate bill and the
ending OF this strain on the country that
ne is digging his early political grave
and that he will be quietly laid in 1t at
the coming ides OF November.

a good deal of disturbance has been Gre
ated and some sc0lding has been INDUCED in
by those who in the competitive exhibit Of
their goods at the Worlds Columbian EX-
position won medals or diplomas and who
now find by STR [ construction of the law
under which the prizes were awarded they
are liable TO iInpr lsonment IN the peniten-
tiary if for the information of the public
they publish pictures of the diplomas or
medals which they have won.
The law as it stands was drawn at the sug-
gestion of Director General Davis, who had
no other idea in making the suggestion than
the preventing of exhibitors who had wcg
no distinction by their exhibits from claim :
ing medals or diplomas, and thus deceiviug
the public. He had not a thought of deprIv-
ing any honest and successful exhibitor of
the full use and publicity of his advertise
ments of the medals and diplomas which the
merits of his wares had gained.
But in drawing the law the mistake was
made of dcpriving the pTize-winncr of
whatever benefit his diploma might be to
him in advertising his manufactures. He
can have his diploma framed and hung up
in his parlor and can keep his medal locked
up in his safe to show 10 his friends, but
nothing more. Such is, at least, the con-
struction the attorney general puts on the
law.
1t is outrageous to imputeany criminal in
tent to those who have used for advertising
purposes the recognition their goods have
won Such use has followed each eNposi-
ton that has been held, aud it is right and
proper that the public should know whose
goods entitled their maker to such recogni-
tioa. The crime, if there be any, is only the
technical violation of a clause in a law which
was put there through an error. IL is quite
likely that the law viii be amended so that
those who won prizes may let the world
know it. giving such evidence of the fact
as NAV fairly be demanded.-Chiedg0 Record,

lanta and Augusta. mills are reported fairly

said to have stimulated demand from jobbers

West and northwest few IL any, evidences
of improvement in business are to be perceived.
except those telegraphed from Omaha. Chi
cago and Detroit Activity at the Nebraska
metropolis Is showing itself in increased de-
mand for money, Recent advices are that
wheat and oats crops in that state will be
small, but that OF corn heavy.
There IS no improvement from the depres-
sion and dullness characterizing general trade
at Cleveland, Cincinnati Milwaukee and st.
Paul At Portland. Ore, floods are subsiding
and goods are being moved. In the valleys
small fruit crops will be lost. owing 20 lack of
transportation. Trade at San Francisco is fair
only, the wheat export business being at "a
