TWO WAYS TO OBTAIN REVENUE

The Government needs additional rev

by judicious revision on the one hand, OF,
on the other, by attempting to effect Il
radical change i'll the tariff laws such as
was made hv the last Congress. which
substituted the Wilson German hill for the
Mckinley act are widely different things.
There are tEo ways which will leaf
directly and surely to suilirirnG revenue
The first is that OF thoS, who contend That
wool shall he taken from the free list an

those OF the Mckinley law, which is ma l..
by thosc especially interested in wool and
its manufactures, The other proposition
is that whiSkty, bccc and tobacco shall be
made to pay slight additional tax. The
question for Congress therefore to deter
mine is whether necessarics of life, which

them or that the requisite revenue shall
be secured by an increased tax on two or

THE GOVERNORS POWER
How He Might ForeStall His Successor
in Office.

Governor Brown was asked Wednt sday if he
had ever considered that the provision of the
Constitution which requires the Governor to
appoint, with the consent OF the Senate, all
civil officers within fifty days from the Begin
ming OF each regular sessi N of the legislature
gave MIN the power to make appointments
during the first week of next January, as has
been claimed could be done by him, and
thus forestal most of Governor Lowndes'
appointments.
"1es. have been thinking of the matter, y
said the Governor. ''There is no doubt that

to Governor elect Lowndcs last week when
he was here"
But. you would not make use of such
power?' was the query.

the Governor, his eyes twinkling merriy.
II have not yet decided definitely. | know
that Mr.. LoWndes is being troubled Il good
deal by applications for Office and it would
no doubt be doing him II good service if
an old governor should relieve him of this
burden and make his appointments for him.
Besides. such dn act on my part would be
the first fulilIment of one of the Republican
party pledges, in practical application Of
civil service reform, us many of the old
officials would most likely be retained. 1t
must be remembered, too. that the Senate,
the confirming body, is Democratic and
there would be no difficulty about the con-
iirmations. 1 have not made up my mind

REVENUE FIRST.

Mr.. Cleveland's war like policy has re-
moved any doubts that may have existed
among wise and prudent men of all
parties as to the necessity of revenue legis
lation by the present Congress- He has
embarked on course which makes in
creased expenditures necessary, even if
war does not result; and it would be the
blindest folly of ignorant craftsmanship to
attempt to manage the Treasury with no
provision for an increase in its regular in
come at time when, if there were 10
emergency confronting the country, its
revenues would still be far behind its ex-
pendtures.
The first duty of Chairman Dinglev. OF
the Ways and Means Committee, is to
report bill which will make the receipts
at the custom houses equal to the deficit in
the Treasury and to the immediate demands
that may be made upon it as consequence
of Mr.. Cleveand's foreign policy. The
arguments in favor of such q bill were

message; since the utterance of that docu-
ment they have become practically I'M
nnswerable. Mr. Cleveland has suddenly
brought about a situation in which the
strengthening of the public credit by secur-
ing additional and ample revenue is the
very first requisite. if there should ulti-
mately be occasion for enforcing his foreign
policy by decisive action.
\ revenue bill raising the tariff rates to
the extent of $50. 600, 600 to $40, OOO, 900 a
year can, and doubtless will, be passed
easily in the House with fair chance of
passing the Senate; and it is difficult to see
how Mr.. Cleveland can reject it with a
veto in face of the conditions which he has
invited. On no other measure is there
any prospect of securing anything like
unity of action in Congress The admins
trations greenback cancellation scheme is
out of the question. and it is reasonably
certain that the Republicans in neither
the House nor the Senate will be disposed
to give him direct authority to issue bonds
for the payment of current expenses unless
he shall accept revenue bill.

THAT DEFICIENCY.

In the National House of Representatives
on Thursday the bill reported by Mr..
Dingley from the Committee on Ways and
Means to temporarily increase revenue to
meet the expenses of the Government to
provide against deficiency, was passed
by vote of 205 to 81. The debate lasted
three hours and half. In response to the
urgent call of the President the committee
acted with all possible dispatch. The
committee in its report of the bill stated
that it did not undertake a general revision
of the tariff on protection lines, as a major
ity hope can be done in 1s97-9S, as such a
revision would require many months and
the immediate need of more revenue was
so imperative.
1t therefore passed a simple measure
increasing all duties of the dutiable list,
and taking from the free list of the present
tariff a few articles that were always on the
dutiable list until August 81, 1894, and
which have always been important revenue
producers, and limiting the operation of
such legislation to about two years and a
half, until the present deficiency of the
revenue is overcome.
Surely everyone can see now why the
country wants sound Republican, Protec.
tive administration. The action of the
Senate and President is now awaited with
interest

MARYLAND FARMERS VISIT PHIL
ADELPHIA.

That was useful and instructive trip
made by the Maryland farmers on Friday
last for the purpose of inspecting the Phil
adelphia markets where farmers sell their
produce without the Intervention of middle
men and direct to the consumer. Twenty
five representative farmers from the leading
farmers clubs came and inspected the Ridge
Avenue Farmers Market, the cold storage
rooms at the Reading Terminal and the
Spring Garden Market.
They found that out of the 1000 shares OF
the capital stock of the Ridge Avenue
Market 1900 shares are owned by farmers
that ever since the market opened it has
been dividend-paying concern, the divi-
dends varying from 6 to 10 per cent. and
the stock having par value of $50 is selling
at 149.
The Marylanders went home determined
to erect in Baltimore farmers market, in
which will be combined the cold storage
facilities of the Reading Terminal, with
other features of the Ridge Avenue and
Spring Garden Markets. In Baltimore
heretofore the farmers have had no adequate
means for reaching the consumer without
the intervention of middlemen. The ruin
GUS prices at which most farm products are
now selling have made the year 1895 one Of

CANDIDATE FOR NO OFFICE.

Mr.. William T. Malster says that most
emphatically he is not candidate for State
Treasurer or any other Office under the in
coming Republican administration.

nection with any office, said he, 'are not
my friends. The only place desired was
the Governorship, and the Republican
party having selected Mr.. Lowndes, shall

WHATEVER may be the outcome of the
Venezuelan boundary dispute, and how.
ever opinions may vary as to the applica
ton of the Monroe doctrine to it-yet the
fact remains, that England's motives in the
matter are purely mercenery, and look tc
the extension of her colonial territory.
The student of history can readily see,
that Great Britain's policy is one of aggran.
dizement. The extension of her commerce
has inspired the ambition of conquest as a
glance at the following list amply attests.
Gibraltar captured by English and Dutch,
1904, and slmmarily appropriated by Sir
George Rookie The Encyclopedia Britain

England that it was unprncipled enough

must certainly show that Engands atti
tude toward Venezuela is mercenary and
selfish one.
Were England's claim Just one, why
should she not be willing to arbitrate ?
Forcible occupation of more Venezuelan
territory would merely lead to further
aggressions. If the pres nnt alleged scare
makes the English Cover iment believe that
it cannot poach on this continent it will
not have been in vain

As BECOMES the season and their calling,
the clergy all over the country are address,

But while this is the palpable obligation
of their calling, r'ere never has been

That matter rests now, as it has from the
