Congress cannot shirk its obligation to raise
an adequate revenue. If Republicans should
fail in this duty they would gratuitously take
disasters which might result from continu-

OF gold. the decline in stocks, the decrease OF
the treasury reserve, all admonish them that
the first and most urgent necessity is TO pro-
vide surplus revenue instead OF q deficit.

But when we are asked to believe tina,
the Democ ratio party of this town is in
favor of this measure on the strength OF
resolutions adopted by SHINY attended
Democratic caucuses in Wards S, 6 and
z, we beg to be excused. Neither are we
quite ready to believe that there was much
earnestness in the adoption of the reso-
lutions in the wards mentioned. The
real spirit of those caucuses Oh the sub
Ject. was one of Indifference. The word
instruct was used, but no body will claim
that an instruction from so small a
minority of the voters as attended
hose caucuses creates an obligation of
much binding force. We are per-
fectly ready to concede that
there are many Democrats who favor the
commission; we merely protest against
any attempt on the strength of the res
olutions in Wards S, and Z to present
the Democratic party as its special
champion.

Representative Patten is entitled to
the credit of having the courage of his
convictions. He went before the iudic-
larry committee and argued in favor of
the resubmission of the prohibitory
amendment to the people, though he
must have known that there was not the
slightest chance CT the adoption of his
suggestion. Of course when the Demo-
cratic party which had resubmission
plankin it's platform was sdefeated by
more than 30, 600 votes resu omission was
out to the question:. 1t was fair to in
terpret this result as decision by the
people themselves that they did not
want the amendment resubmitted. There
IS no difficulty in showing that prohi bi-
lion has fallen short of accomplishing
what was claimed for it; it is easy
enough to demonstrate that liquor is sold
10 all the large places in this State-in
short, it is clear that prohibition has
not prohibited. On the other hand il
is not easy to show that any other system
would have done any better or worked
any greater measure of restriction. and
It is here that the opponents of prohibit
ton generally fail. They point out lots
OF weak points in prohibition, but they
come far short OF showing that they
have more effective plan. The people
are bound to have some sort of legisla-
ton restrictive of the liquor traffic, and
though they are fully alive to the short
Icomlngs OF the existing legislation they
see nothing better. While they have
ceased to worship the prohibitory law as
the embo diment of all wisdom, thew
are not ready to throw it away unless
they are pretty well convinced that the.
can supply it's place with something bet
ter.

Mayor Strong has just appointed on the
excise board a Democrat of the Tam
many stripe, who is described as pro-
fessional politician without any regular
employment. The excise board deals
with the liquor men, and the Mayor has
apparently appointed one man who will
be inclined TO deal with them very lenlent-
~. Ordinarily this would call down upon
his head the maledlctions of DR.. Park
hurst and his reform society, but as they
are now Gevoting their energies chiefly
to downing Platt this apparent surren-
der of the Mayor TO the liquor men will
probably be overlooked in the exuber-
ance of their gratitude for the assistance
which they are getting from Kim in
their principal business of suppressing

Permit me to call the attention of

Next, the Inspector can walk into the

rebuild his chimneys, change the" fiues"

naces, boilers and boiler connections and

can order him to pitch it out of doors

spector can enter any mans home at
any time of day or night that he
pleases without notice, apparently order
him to take down his common iron stove

out the stove or furnace that suits the
owner of the house and put in one that
suits the fancy of the inspector, The

It is significant fact that while the
Democratic press is paying great deal
OF attention to what they call the
scramble" among Republicans for the
word about any contest in their own
ranks. The reason is probably because
there is no such contest. and the reason
that there is no contest is because no.
body regards the nominations as
worth any thing.
