THE FAIRY is SAFE.

We hear men say every day that the
Democratic party viii now have nothing
with which to go before the people; that
the people will say to IT, we committed
every department of the Government 10
your charge. commanding you to reform
the tariff and TO strike out Of 1t every
vestige Of protection which tarin Tor
revenue equitably and ratably levied upon
all imports alike fails to accord, and be-
hold you have given 10 us this abortion,
which has protection written In every
line and fayors to trusts and monopoles
cropping out on every page. You are not
capable of running the Government, ana
we shall. therefore, take power from you
and commit it 10 the Republican party
We have no fear growing out of that
view of the case. The people are not
idiots. They are rational and sensible in
divduals. who understand the case with
which the country is confronted very
perfectly. The people know that the real
Democratic representatives in Congress
and Senate were heartily and earnestly
anxious to carry out the instructions which
their constituents gave them in 1892, but
that they were handicapped by pretended
and so-Called Democrats who were moth
ing but Republicans in disguise The PEG
pie know that German, Brlce, Smith
Co, without whose votes the Democrats
could carry no tariff measures through
Congress, are not Democrats at all, but
are Republicans in disguise, and these
senators would permit the Democratic
senators TO pass no tariff bill that did
not take care Of the trusts and monopO-
lies. All that the Democratic party has
to do is to go boldly before the people with
this case, and ask the people TO continue
1t in power 1t can point to what it was
able to save the people by the bill 1t has
passed I'm spite Of German & Co.. as an
earnest Of what it will do when the peo-
sentatives Of trusts and monOpolies. and
thus give it an unembarrassed oppOr-
nifty to carry out the popular Will. The
Democratic party has shown its earnest
intention 10 bring relief to the people
as soon as 1t has its way, and We have
no fear that the people are going to turn
II out of power merely because a few
traitors arrested its progress and disabled
it TO do all that It intended to do. 1t is
only necessary to keep Senator Vests
testimony before the sugar investigation
committee. Senator Caffery's speech, and
Senator Germans speech before the peo-
pie for them TO understand the case thor
Oughly and for them to make their reply
to it.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

New York Sun: 1t Is an interesting
question which has arisen in the courts
of Illinois in the application of the AttOr-
ney-Generai of that State for a forfeiture
Of the charter OF the Pullman Palace Car
Company.
The basis Of the proceeding, as we IN
derstand 1t, Is the allegation that the
corporation has been misusing its powers,
or doing acts outside its powers as con
ferred by its charter such acts as are
known TO lawyers as ultra wires.
The principal charge seems TO be that
the Pullman Company, having been in
CorpOrated TO build palace cars. has pro-
ceeded TO build town for its workmen
TO live in.
Whether this IS a wrong in the eye or
the law or not. it does not strike the IN
telligent mind as being an evil in itself.
There cannot be too many clean,
healthy. well-ordered towns in Illinois, or
any other State.
New York Herald Unless President
Cleveland means to veto the tariff bill ne
should sign 1t as soon as possible.
The supreme reason for prompt action
Is the country's need of relief from sus-
pense, but there are other reasons.
Conspicuous among these is the fact
that If he should permit the bill to be-
come a law without his signature the
Treasury would be cheated out Of the
expected revenue from the increase Of the
tax on spirits.
New York Times: We cannot doubt that
the tariff bill Will become a law a veto
is ont of the question. The Democratic
party must not fail OF some visible result
out of its months of travail. The bust
ness Of the country must not be oppressed
by the uncertainties of another general
tariff revision.
New York World: The Republican pa
pers are full of praise of the wonderful
Leadership" of Senator German. Yes,
nothing like IL has been seen since the
leadership of Jesse James. Indeed, Mr..
German might fifty be called the Jesse
James of the Senate. He is great on
