certainly will not evade it. Senator Sher-
man is reported to have declared in re-
cent interview: 81 have no hesitation in
saying that tariff legislation will be one of
the first things undertaken by the incom-
ing Congress. 1t is absolutely imperative" +"
This view is shared by other leaders of the
party and by the people. Tariff revision
will come.
There is reason to believe the Demo
Gratis will attempt to make up the deficit
by proposing bill increasing the internal
revenues. The free-traders of course pre-
fer to tax home goods rather than foreign
imports. The Senate may possibly be
made to sustain such measure by a COM
bination of Democrats and Populists. If
so there will be conflict between the two
branches of Congress- and the issue will be
made up for 1896. The free traders may
mock at this as return to McKinleyism
If they choose. The people know it is true
Republicanism and only another name for
stalwart Americanism.

TARIFF REVISION.

AS the time draws nearer to the date OF
the assembling of Congress it becomes
more evident that the Republican majority
in the House will resolutely undertake the
work of revising the tariff, no matter what
course may be taken by the Senate or by
the President. The country needs reve-
nue. equal to its expenditures, and the Re-
publicans of the House will devise bill
for providing one, leaving it to the Popu-
lists and Democrats in the Senate or the
Democratic President to assume the respon-
slbillty OF rejecting it if they dare.
10 make some sort of revision in the
tariff at the earliest opportunity is in fact
not SO much political issue as financial
necessity. Since Cleveland entered upon
his second term the debt of the Nation has
been increased by more than $1O6, ,OO0. 900.
Since the Wilson tariff was put into force
there has been deficit in the National rev.
enues every month except one. This con-
dition of affairs cannot of course be per.
mltted to continue. 1t is imperative that
some remedy for the i'll effects of Demo-
cratic bungllng should be adopted as
speedily as possible, and fortunately for
the country there is a Republican majority
IN the House to undertake the work.
In deyising measure for supplying a
greater revenue the Republican branch OF
Congress will, of course, be true to the
protective principle, and the wool in
dusty will be accorded the protection OF
which the repeal of the Mckinley tariff
deprived it. It is notable that in the
present revival of industry the improve
ment in different trades has been in pro-
portion to the amount of protection which
the Wilson tariff left them. Wool was
placed on the free list, and the wool
grower is to-day as badly off almost as
during the worst period of the depression.
restoration of the duty on wool is, there
fore, one of the things the Republicans
may be expected to offer in the way OF
tariff revision. Will the Populist Sena-
tors, who claim to represent the farmers OF
the West, reject it? Will Cleveland, who,
in the White House, represents the
Democratic party, dare to do it2
so long as the deficit in the revenue con-
tinues. the public debt increases and for
eign goods are imported to the injury of
American industry, SO long will the tariff
confront the country as the supreme issue
in National affairs. No party can evade
an issue that threatens the Government
with Bankruptcy. The Republican party

THE BATTLE rs ON.

The Southern Pacific Railroad Company
has appealed to the courts to restrain the
Railroad Commissioners from enforcing
their recently adopted freight schedule.
The people of California will realize this
morning that their greatest battle with
the gigantic monopoly is on. The SOW
ereign States power to regulate railroad
freights and fares within its borders is
questioned and denied by this arrogant
and insolent Kentucky corporation.
The California layman--the merchant,
the mechanic the farmer, the miner-who
pays his taxes and has his rights to life
and property determined by the State
courts, can now appreciate the cunning
diplomacy of this domineering corpora
ton. That diplomacy was exhibited when
citizens of this State betook themselves to
Kentucky to receive charter of incorpora-
ton, so that, being a so-called foreign cor
poration, they could go into the Federal
courts to fight California. That diplomacy
was signaIly displayed when this foreign
tramp corporation recently made up the
record in the hearing before the Railroad
Commissioners.
THE CALL again and again, in thought
full editorials, warned our Railroad Com
missioners to beware of the cunning and
specious advocates of the Southern Pacific,
lest they make up such record as would
not in court uphold the schedule adopted.
The Commissioners took no heed of
these warnings; designedly or ignorantly
they sat for days receiving the misleading
and false testimony of the party in inter-
est. And so the record was made up"

PARKHURsT's CHOICE.

DR.. Parkhurst, the great New York po-
litical reformer, has startled the moral
forces which rallied to his support by an
nouncing that the Republican coalition
ticket in that city furnishes all decent and
intelligent citizens rallying ground.
''1f," he declares, 1--WE stand shoulder to
shoulder in the election of the names on
that ticket the cause is gained and the
enemy is worsted" He accordingly an
nounces his withdrawal from the Good
Government movement. This will likely
cause its disintegration.
The eminent reformer is evidently
blessed with wise political brain. Proba-
bly, he is not entirely satisfied with all the
names on the Republican ticket, but he
knows that splitting of the decent forces
would insure the election of Tammany's
candidates, and that is the overshadowlng g
calamity which he is anxious to avoid.
His position is proclamation of the fact
that the Republican party of New York
embodies the decent voting elements of the
city; that independent reform tickets are
an invitation to the success Of knavery,
and that the Republican party is the safe
haven of those who desire an honest and
intelligent government.
1t is herein that he displays his superior
political wisdom. without reference to his
choice of parties on moral grounds. In
this particular he shows an ability that is
too generally lacking among reformers, and
by reason of that lack they engage year
after year in Improbable and hopeless
contests, defeating thereby the end which
they desire to accomplish and blind to the
fact that the Republican party offers the
one hope of safe reformation of the evils
they would like to see abolished.

A WISE SUGGESTION.

Ihe real estate review published in yes
terday's CALL contained some important
suggestions bearing on the questions oi
rent-paying and home-building. In that
review the broad proposition was stated
that if tenant is able to pay rent he is
able to build a home of his own under the
conditions prevailing in San Francisco.
The statement is so eminently wise and
true that it will bear some analysis. AT
the same time it has bearing on the gene
raj conditions of home-making in this City,
and they, too, deserve attention.
Two convenient ways in which persons
without reserved means and with steady
income may acquire homes are through
the building and loan associations and by
purchase on monthly installments of places
already improved by those who are in the
business of buying lots and improving
them for that purpose. In the first place,
the prospective builder must as a rule own
his lot free of ineum brance, and in the
second he must make an initial payment
nearly or quite equal to the value of the
lot. Hence, the two methods are alike
in the matter OF having little to start
with.
The extension of streetcar lines into
hitherto unsettled and inaccessible parts
OF the City has operated to the great en-
couragement of these two industries. At
the same time it accounts for the number
OF vacant houses held for rent and to re-
duction of the inducement to build houses
for that purpose. 1t would be interesting
and instructive information if the real
estate dealers would gather and publish
the extent of recent operations in these
lines. 1t would undoubtedly prove both
encouraging to persons who would like to
live in their own homes and explanatory OF
the large number of vacant houses held for
rent. This number, it should be explained,
is far smaller than it was two years ago,
and that too offers a field for specific in
vestigation.
returning to the assertion that the man
who is able to pay rent is able to own his
home, the question resolves itself into the
simple one OF way to save sufficient
money with which to make the initial
payment. There is no question about the
superior stability and content of a man
who lives in his own house. It is mani
fest, further, that he who pays rent gives
his landlord a profit which comes from a
very hard-earned income. Building for
residence-renting purposes is a perfectly
legitimate business, but its prosperity de-
pends largely on the improvidence of those
who accept the opportunity. 1t is SO
much less expensive to own ones home
than to pay rent that it seems this fact
alone should bersufficient for sensible men
and women to make an extra exertion
toward saving the necessary amount for
the initial investment.

Pittshnre Post.

Senator German started out on Saturday on
something he had not attempted for years, and
that is public discussion of political issues
and vindication of his own record and leader
ship before the people of Maryland. Generally
the Senator has avoided public debate, like
our own great reformer Quay, but the present
emergency has forced him to the front. He is
a plausible talker on all occasions, and what
he doesn't know about political skill and STRAIT
egg is something past finding out. There is a
formidable and what appears to be we'll
organized Democratic opposition to the elec-
ton of Mr.. Hurst as Governor, for no reason
affecting him other than that he was nomi-
mated by the Senator as representative OF his

GoRMAN's FIGHT.
Boston TRANSCRIPT.

The great fight in Maryland to determine
whether German can retain possession of that
State with so many respectable Democrats re-
belling against his sway is daily becoming
more intense. The principal issue concerns
the point whether one man and his henchmen
shall practically rule State as he sees fit, and
name the candidates for the most important
offices in it. 1t is not question between the
Republican and Democratic parties, but one
between the Republicans, re-enforced by large
numbers of the best Democrats of Maryland,
haters OF fraud and devious practices generally
in elections, and the rump of the Democracy
perate from fear that honesty will triumph at
the November election.
