Nearing the End.

II has looked for some time to us
as though the tariff bill must first be
stripped of is essential features before
going to the President for his signature.
So that If he signs it and it actually
becomes law it will not hurt our pro-
tected classes much. That is the way
it has appeared to us for some time.
And now that the President deplores
the attachment of the income tax
feature to the bill there is high prom.
Use OF fine muddle at the close OF a
very tiresome and vexatious session.
This places the President so nearly in
harmony with Senator Hill as to lead
to anything but complimentary re-
marks from Senators who are dispos-
ed to think themselves fooled and who
facetiously remark the attitude to be
as the lying down of the lion and the
lamb together in peace. While the
likeness is perfect enough the perplex-
ing question is, as between the Presi-
dent and Senator Hill, which is the
lion and which the lamb.
If in weighing the matter the Presi-
dent finds the income-tax feature as
Objectionable to him as it is to Senator
Hill and many others, he Of course has
his redress or avoidance through his
power Of veto. He could do nothing
that would suit Senator Hill and the
Republican party better than to veto
the bill when it reaches him in this
Objectionable shape. 1t begins to
look to US as though the people would
lave to try it over again before any
thing like tariff reformation proper
takes place in this country. That's
the way it seems to US. We hope we
are wrong about it.

Comments upon the Presidents Letter to
Chairman Wilson.

OF course, the Presidents letter
will be criticised as an interference
with legislation. OF course, he will
be attacked by the roistering Reed
and the anti-Cleveland organs. But
the American people like frank, open
talk, and there will be a general feel
ing that if congress would follow Mr..
Cleveland's advice, the country would
be better off to-day than it is, bust
ness would be more active and pros
porous than ever and labor would hnd
employment.-We We Hoyld.
The Presidents letter will be the
last straw which will break the back
of pride and arrogance which the
senate has raised in this controversy.
= York Gazette.
1t is childish to criticise President
Cleveland. He simply told the truth
in his letter to Chairman Wilson, and
he did not present an argument that
was not presented in the last cam
paign by every one of the senators
who are now endangering the success
of the tariff by their devotion to petty
local interests, or their personal in
terests in private speculations.
Mr. Cleveland's letter is simply an
honest demand for honest obedience
to the clearly expressed judgment Of
the nation. He does not tread upon
any disputed party ground. He asks
that good faith shall be maintained
with the people, and that is all. He
knows that the failure to enact an
honest tariff bill must be disappoint-
ing to the people, and he well knows
that the defeat of tariff legislation by
speculative interests would be simply
to invite deluge upon the Democrat
ic party.-PHiIa. Tines

Senator'S BY Popular Vote.

II in the particular case Of the tariff
bill now practically defeated the Sen.
ate has not fully established its identi.
ty as an obstructive body in the direct
pathway OF the popular viii, then we
can think of no issue between the
masses and the classes that is more
likely to reveal this uuwholesome
fact. 1t is quite plain to the observant
tnat the lower House can find An
earnest disposition to listen to the
voice Of the people. But why. pray ?
Just because the people can reach
them directly, and are thus able to
soon whip them back into obscurity
from whence they sprang if they do
not obey. The House not only passes
readily and punctually upon the popu-
lar issues demanded, but it is even now
lending the masses helping hand to
ward making the Senatorial position
also dependent upon the popular will
as expressed at the polls. Aside from
such an issue as that Of the tariff, the
adjuster of commercial affairs between
the few and the many,it is quite likely
the Senate could have continued in.
definitely to lie back on its dignity
without hearing more than a casual
growl at its naughty indifference en-
anating from the people. Now the
House has already passed joint reso,
luton providing for the popular elec.
ton OF Senators, just because it is in
accordance with popular wish. A
change in the Constitution will be
necessary, however, to effect this in
novation. Still there is but little
doubt as to the result of the issue il
1t is once submitted to the people fol
determination.

Senatorial Deception.

In weighing the great political
anomaly wherein the Presidents prin-
cipal assailant, Senator Hill, suddenly
becomes his principal defender, is, we
confess, a tangle that we can't quite
unravel to our own satisfaction IN the
twinkling Of an eye. It involves the
query-did the President come to
Hill or did Hill come to the President?
For one thing (while never heretofore
doubling the Presidents honesty OF
purpose) We must say that his celebrat-
ed letter to Chairman Wilson discloses
to US for the first his opposing attitude
on the income tax feature of the tariff
bill. Whether that objection on his
part is to an income tax absolutely
and distinctly, or whether it is merely
to its adherence or attachment to the
tariff bill is another unsolved problem
with US. While the one position is
barely tolerable, according to our no.
ton, the other is too highly objection
able for popular applause or indorse-
ment, even though Senator Hill and
the President of the United States
can sweetly harmonize on it. We are
firmly among those who believe that
the sovereign power of this country
has fully determined upon having not
only tariff reformation proper whether
1t suits the money power and protect
ed industries or not), but also upon
having income taxation upon fabulous
wealth, whether it suits President
and Senator from New York State or
not.
There is not the least doubt in our
mind, in view of the wholesome truth
now revealed through fight at head
quarters, that the Senatorial plan was
to " bunco or deceive the President
and practically defeat the essential
features of the bill. The complaining
Senators may, from interviews with
the President, have been permitted
to delude themselves and to carry the
hope and belief that he would finally
sanction one more of the many de-
ceptions Congress practices upon the
sovereign power in the interest of the
more favored classes. Presidential
honesty of purpose, actuated by a
righteous spirit that should character.
ize the true statesman, (who is never
willing to violate his word of honor
given before election) was, after all,
we believe, the incentive prompting
the Presidents frank disclosure which
has spread so much CONSERVATION
among Senator'S who meant to practi.
cally nullify the demands of the peo-
pies Representatives in the lower
House of Congress. We must frankly
confess that the outcome of the mud.
die is beyond our comprehension or
conjecture, with the likelihood strong
ly in favor of no tariff reform this
session after all.

During the last fiscal year "the
balance OF trade" has been heavily
in favor of the United States. And
yet during that period American COM
merce has not advanced nor Ameri.
can prosperity increased. All Repub-
llcan journals insisted that prosperity
must come with the favorable balance
OF trade, but this is fine theory that
could not bear up against conditions.

There has been more or less polite.
al sickness and weakness all through
the faint effort for tariff reform which
was looked for in harmony with the
expressed will Of the sovereign power
at the polls. And it now looks as
though the doctors or Senators have
about given up the case. As usual
IN very prominent cases, it almost
makes the doctors sick to lose the
patient. And, sad as the bereaved
ones may feel, the case has kind of
hopeless look about it to other folks
we are panied to admit. The trouble
was the patient was allowed to 90 too
long undoctored, and the high pro.
tective ailment became chronic. In
lis ravages and sloughing off of the
natio nal vitals it now requires strong
legislative victuals to effect a cure.
Perhaps the humble voter can help
to find a remedy; but perhaps not.

The plague continues with un.
abated force in China. At some
places it has increased until the
mortality has reached more than one
hundred in single day. The natives
as well as Europeans have found it
policy to flee for their lives from
Hong Kong. This, with war with
Japan which now seems inevitable. is
rather doubling trouble for the relig-
iously deluded Chinese subjects.

withstanding this rather disreputable
fact, the Utah star which will be add
ed on our national flag will shine Just
like the rest at the commencement of
the next fiscal year. And the man or
woman who attempts to pull down the

where else. At all events Utah is now
one OF us, making forty-hve States,
more or less respectable, now in the
