The Brooklyn street car strike, begun
Monday, has assumed such a magnitude
and developed such bitterness on both
sides as to become veritable public
calamity. The grievances advanced by
the strikers are many and various. They
complain that they are compelled to pass
too much time without pay on waiting or
ders, and that they are not compensated
for extra trips, but the gist of their case
is request for an increase in their daily
pay from 81 to 1925. They are now re-
celving the old horse car rate, and they
claim with reason that their work on the
electric cars is much more arduous and
eXacting. The men concede almost
everything, but the companies will not
bulge an inch, and the State Board of
Arbitration is doing what it can to settle
the strike.

The country has now before it strik-
ing object lesson, says number of our
exchanges, in the different principles
which govern the two great parties
Both the Republican party and the Dem
ocratic party have just been put to the
test OF having their opponents elect a
candidate for Governor by narrow plu-
rality. By a few hundred votes a Re-
publican was elected Governor of Ten.
nessee and Democrat in California. A
very important feature was the fact that
Tennessee ele 3ted Democratic Legisla-
ture and California Republican Legis-
lature. In Tennessee the Democrats are
keeping out of office the man who was
chosen by the people as Governor. In
California the Republicans have sur
rendered the GOvernorship in prompt
obedience to law. Here is direct illus
tration of the difference between the two
parties. The Republican party believes
in fair play at the ballot box and Justice
after the votes are counted. The Demo
cratic party stands for unblushing fraud
in political affairs, and the American peo-
pie know is and condemn it accordingly.

him go free'-Deut. xv., II; "And let

The Latest Currency Scheme.

Senator Jones of Arkansas, has come
forward with currency scheme. The
cross roads politicians and Southern
backwoods De Docrats are great on what
they know of business and money. The
First National Bank official inter.
viewed was among the buyers of the re.
cent bond issue of fifty millions, and
hence are supposed to stand very near to
the Administration. Vice President
Garland has had to say regarding the
proposed Jones compromise:
"Mr. Cleveland is in a hole, and will
indorse almost anything. Had the
Carlisle Currency bill been enacted into
a law, inside of twenty-fOur hours after
its passage we would have had the worst
kind of panic. The trouble is that the
government has not sufficient revenue to
carry on its business. If Congress were to
re-enact the Mckinley bill tomorrow
and go home, you would hear no more
about the currency question. The nation
is Just like an individual who spends
more money than he earns.
at is simply absurd to confuse the two
questions and put the blame on our cur
rency system. Our currency system and
our National banks have served us for
the last twenty-five years in the best con-
ceivabe manner, and why should we
want to get rid of them now? Had Con
gress allowed the Mckinley law to stand
we would have had sufficient revenue,
you would have heard nothing about the
currency.
THE government sold one hundred
millions of bonds on the theory that they
were compelled to do it in order to keep
the gold standard intact. The facts are
that the one hundred millions were used
to pay our running expenses. All the
goodness of good eggs cannot make up
for the badness of bad ones
and while some part of the Jones bill is
good, the free silver coinage at the end
destroys its usefulness completely. The
government must do one of two things at
once, either cut down its expenses or in
crease its revenues. It's not question
of gold that confrOnts us, but question
of getting money to pay our debts"

Ex-Speaker Reed told the Democratic
side of the House Wednesday, that no
bill they could flame would be accepta-
BILE to'the country, much less the amend.
ed Carlisle measure under consideration.
The simply fact was that the govern
ment was running behind S5,OOO,OOO a
month, and the remedy was simple.
Make the revenues equal to output"
said Mr., Reed, land you will restore the
public credit and cure the situation.
The remedy is simple enough for the
Democrats to apply. Uaughter). Then

And now Senator German takes the
confessional box to admit all that has
been charged by the Republicans. OF
this the New York Press says: "Sul
lenly and reluctantly, but none the less
explicitly, Democratic leaders and Dem
ocratic newspapers are beginning to con-
fess that the charges made by Republi
cans against the Democratic tariff were
true; that the measure as it stands is a
fraud and sham; that it is ,grotesquely
inefficient IN providing revenue; that un-
less sweeping changes are swiftly made
in economic legislation the government
of the foremost Republic of the world
will be in imminent danger of the shame
and disaster of bankruptcy. Fortunate
ly for the safety of American institutions,
ana the honor of the United States, the
reign of the wreckers, blunderers and
traitors in Congress is almost at an end.
Stunned and detested even by his own
party, the President who has inflicted
unspeakable misery and unCounted loss
upon his cOuntrymen will occupy the
White House for two years more But
with the death of the repudiated Fifty
third Congress and with the knowledge
that the Fiity-fourth House of Represen.
tatives is overwhelmingly Republican
and firmly pledged to the Republican
principle of protection for every Ameri.
can industry, new hope and brighter
prospects will return to the American
people,"

The Pass Question.

The anti-free pass agitation is creating
considerably more amusement than sor-
row in New York. Mr.. Depew proposes
to apply the prohibition to the clergy,
and in justification of his action he has
hunted through the Scriptures and has
brought to light a number of passages,
in which the practice is more or less
frowned upon. Here are few: Thou
shalt not pass"-Numbers Xxx, IS; "Suf-
fer not man to pass'-Judges ill.,, rs;
"None shall ever pass''-Isaiah xxxiv.,
10; "This generation shall not pass"-
Mark xiii, 80; Though they roar, YET
they cannot pass''-Jeremiah ", %; "Sc
hey paid their fare and went'-Jonah

on the said estates, the yield OF
