A PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

The campaign will soon open and the
newspapers and stump speakers Will begin
their crusade for votes. Democrats will point
out the gain to the public by the enactment
Of the German law, and Republicans will cry
calamity and argue that if there had been no
tariff tinkering prosperity would have con-
tinued undisturbed.
Both are right and both wrong. The Cor
man bill is great Improvement over the
Mckinley law, inasmuch as it will reduce
tariff taxation and eventually lessen the cost Of
living. but it can be bettered, and Congress
ought not adjourn until the sugar trust, at
least is given death blow by placing all
sugars on the free list.
The Republicans are right when they claim
that the long delay in enacting tariff legisla-
ton has interfered with a return OF pros
perity after the business depression caused
by the outcry over the repeal of the Sherman
law. But Republicans are wrong when they
demand prohibitive tariff legislation, which
does not help wage-earners and only strength
ems the power of trusts and increases their
number.
Tariff protection is inevitable so long as
this country is compelled to raise revenue by
import tariff, and the question to be decided
is upon what articles the tariff shall be levied
so as to work the least injury and do the most
good. Neither the Republican nor Democratic
parties in their tariff policies have reached
this desired result. Nor will it be reached
until tariff reform is made business ques-
ton and not plaything of politics.
But few Congressman are qualified either
by experience, habit, or education to make
the investigation necessary to a thorough
understanding Of the tariff schedules. Too
much duty on an article that needs no protec-
tion subjects it to the domination of trusts,
and unnecessarily increases its price. Too
little duty on articles that can be produced in
other countries more cheaply than in this de-
stroys domestic production, and gives the
market over to the foreign producer.
To arrive at the exact cost of production of
all articles that compete in the American
market a systematic, careful research must
be made, and none but expert statisticians
and men of thorough practical business
habits are competent to compile such an i'm
portans work. The slogan of the coming
campaign thus should be, "take the tariff
out of politics and revise it on business
principles" SO that our industries may not
suffer and our business prosperity languish
in the custodianship of the professional poll

A CRUEL CONSERVATISM.

The failure, almost criminal failure. of the
Senate to give to the sufferers of the Ford's
Theater disaster the few dollars that they
ask. brings up prominently the absolute i'm
possibility of an indemnity appeal TO Congress
with the monetary return that even corpora
tions are obliged by State laws to disburse.
To the credit OF our national legislators let
1t be said that their moral natures rarely fail
to respond TO the petition of those whom the
general government has injured. There is no
law to enfo3ce such rightful demands on a
body which is in itself the fountain source of
law. but the heart of the nation beats quickly
responsive through its representatives, when
unfortunate ones are unintentionally crushed
down by the great wheels of government.
The adoption by the Senate OF the confer
ence creation of joint commission of in
vestigation is in marked contrast to the prac-
tice of the past. 1t is a disagreement among
the doctors while the patient dies, and Sen
ator Manderson was justified in seeing "a
long vista of years to come before relief can
be given to these people to whom in common
decency and honesty we should make some
payment Immediately
The Senate has exhibited caution that is
cruel and an economy that is inhuman in
allowing this matter TO go over for the ses-
sion. 1t has not done what the people of the
whole country would have it do. 1t has out
ragged all precedents and sugmatized the
whole country.
Nothing can now be gained by agitation:
if the Senate of the civilized people of the
United States had a heart it could feel. even
now, the voiceless, silent suffering of the
stricken ones who are waiting for the little
that money can do to salve their wounds.

the Academy during the week commencing

sodes, in beautiful tableauN, and admirable
contrasts. 1t appeals TO the popular taste by
reason OF its patriotic sentiment and thor
oughly American plot and character draw
ings. The recent congress Of navies in Rio
JanerIo TO protest against the brigandage
tolerated in Brazil, forms the basis of the plot
which unfolds romantic love story. The
principal canvasses are the harbor at Rio
Janerio, ruined monastery in the interior of
South America, and tie grand plaza at Rio,
while the climax Of interest is reached in a
scene representing the vessels of 1.-THE White
Squadron under full sail and steam. This
latter effect is considered to be the most stir

There was an amusing and quite prolonged
debate in the Senate yesterday. when Senator
Call made his proposition that the Senate
Committee on Patents be authorized to travel
to different places during the summer for the
purpose of seeing inventors and finding out
what their ideas were of proper reforms in
patent laws.
"Does the Senator think it wise for a COM
mittee TO go off to see 10000 inventors and
find out their views on patent laws, when all
the patent law is here now in books?' asked
Senator Cockrell with voice OF mingled
anger and surprise at this very un-holmanlike
proposition.
Senator Jones also protested and so did
Senator Aldrich, who told how the Committee
on Rules were sent to Bar Harbor in the va
cation at government expense to revise the
rules and then, after enjoying the cool
breezes of Maine. decided to do the work in
Washington.
Senator Call was shocked. He burst out
into unanimously eloquent speech, broken
only by the ripples of laughter on the Senate
floor and in the galleries. '.This is a great
question:" he declared with emphasis. 1T
involves the poor mans brains and the ques-
ton OF righting great wrongs. The patent
system is wise and beneficent one, designed
to confer unlimited benefits upon mankind.

TO BE A STATE.

After a prolonged fight of years
the bill for the admission of Utah
as State has been passed by the
Senate. The prejudice against the
admission of Utah was mainly of a
religious nature. This was intensi-
fed by the abuses of polygamy,
which had made itself felt through
out the United States, and espe-
cially in Congress, where public
sentiment was directly reflected.

enemies of the poor are the misery class

wealthy minority, however. Most persons
who have money spend it freely in every
direction.
