THE CRADLE SHIP.

When baby goes a-sailing. and the breeze
is fresh and free,
His ship is just the queerest craft that
ever sailed to sea!
Ten fingers true, make up the crew that
watch on deck must keep.
While all arrow ten toes below are pas
sengers asleep!
And mother is the pilot dear-ah, none so
true as she
When baby goes a-sailing. and the breeze
is fresh and free!
When mother rocks the cradle ship, the
walls-for shores-slip past;
The breezes from the garden blow when
baby boy sails fast!
So fast he fies that Dolly cries she fears
we'll run her down,
50 hard a-poIt! we're not the sort to see
dolly drown;
And then. you know, we've got the whole
wide carpet for a sea
When baby goes a-sailing, and the wind
is fresh and free!
When baby lies becalmed in sleep. and all
the crew is still,
When that wee ships in port at last. all
safe from storm and Ill
Two eyes of love shall shine above, two
lips shall kiss his face.
Until in deep and tranquil sleep he'll
smile at that embrace!
For mother watches. too, at night; while
through his slumbers creep
,Dream-memories of sailing ere the
breezes fell asleep.

We doubt not that both houses of con-
gress will Immediately arise to the grand
occasion. and that no spirit of hostility to
the president will prevent any anti-ad-
ministration democrat or any republican
favor of the Monroe doctrine In its broad

1t is all right in tone. but 1t is not IN
exact harmony with Cleveland's previous
message. Then the president said Vene-
zuela had just claim. Now he talks
war. but winds up by saying that before
we proceed further we should appoint a
commission to ascertain whether vene-
zuela has a good claim.-Senator Hill.
When the president alludes to the con-
sequences and says that there Is no ca

says, and says well, what every true
American believes and is willing to stand
by and take the consequences.-Bing

MONDAY, DECEMBER %, 1895.
THEY'LL Stand By II.

Silver's friends in the federal senate
do not propose to be stampeded. What
was said during Saturdays session was
in the nature of distinct notice to the
president that the passing hurrah over
a foreign matter and the confusion on
the stock exchanges which goldbug
brokers have brought about, will not
divert the advocates of free coinage
from their resolute purpose to achieve
the restoration of free coinage. The
latest message of the president. relat-
ing to national finances. was promptly
met with a resolution offered by Sena-
tor Vest. 1t directed the secretary of
the treasury "in pursuance of existing
law" to coin the silver bullion in the
treasury and to use the same. as well
as gold. for the redemption Of green
backs and other treasury notes.
The silver senators are ready and
willing to stand by the president in
any patriotic announcement concerning
this country's relation to foreign pow
ers Probably they do not anticipate
war with England-the American peo-
pie are not counting on anything of
the kind. Nor do silver's friends be-
lieve that there is merit in last weeks
uproar on the stock exchanges; except
for artificial agitation stirred up by
brokers and bankers whose sole occu
patton is to disturb the market. Ameri-
can securities are not liable to a sud
den collapse In value merely on the
strength Of what happened last week.
The broad assertion of the silver men
is that II this country is really to go to
war, II has abundant resources where
with to maintain itself and its credit
in any emergency. The thing the pres
ident is bent on doing is the very thing
the advocates of silver will not consent
to do under any circumstances. There
the matter must rest. because silver is
strong enough in the senate to defend
this position.

ending December 1. Deer Lodge county
collected about s4o.0 in license fees.

state. as the license law requires. 1t
had been estimated that for the COM

which is about 40 per cent. OF the total
of ordinary running expenses.

Cheap Goods Prom japan.

Senator Stewart is after the Japan
ese. He told the senate the other day
that the presence of Japanese CONNER
cial agents and japanese goods are
giving people on the Pacific coast no
little uneasiness. AS a sample of the
prices, he said the Japs can import
bicycles and sell them for a sixth of the
price of the American wheel In this
particular instance, most people will
feel inclined to view the Japs as a
blessing. for II is a notorious fact that
the bicycle trust is holding the price
two or three times too high. But the
situation. II 1t is as Senator Stewart
describes IL, is a serious one. An
American agent of a large japanese
importing house. in the period of a few
weeks in San Francisco. took orders
for a half million dollars worth of
goods consisting of buttons, matches.
upholstered furniture, and many other
kinds of merchandise and manufac-
tured articles. The buttons were sold
for one-tenth the price of the American
make and the Diamond Match company
prefers to buy and resell all the
matches. so great is the discrepancy
between the American and the Jap
anese article in cost. In japan. 1t
seems, skilled labor receives only twen-
ty cents a day. sometimes much less
than that. In the adjustment of our
tariff II may be necessary to watch
Japan more closely than Europe.

Last weeks widest contribution of

tain and Spain expect to close a trade.
the dicker being that England takes
Cuba and Spain gets Gibraltar. What
would Spain do with Gibraltar? In the
course of history, Greeks. Romans.
Mohammedans. spaniards. Frenchmen,
Dutch. African princes. Austrians and
Englishmen have contended for the
possession of the barren rock. 1t is
famous for its caverns. and II has been
the abode of pirates and smugglers.
1t is strongly fortified In case OF war.
Europe would not permit Spain to close
for an instant the strait connecting the
Mediterranean with the Atlantic-and
the closing OF the passage is all the for
tifcation is good for. Probably Great
Britain would be glad TO get fruitful
Cuba for barren Gibraltar. To this
country the disposition England makes
OF the fortress is not a matter of inter-
est. But England cannot get Cuba,
because the United States win not per-
nit that.

surely, as silver has been robbed of its
qualities as standard money, the pur-
chasing power of gold has increased,
and the value of each cent per cent. Of
interest has grown greater, to the
gain of the lender and the loss of the
borrower. Free coinage of silver is
calculated TO put things back just
where they were before, so the borrow
er will only have to pay back what he
borrowed, and the lender will receive
back only what he lent, Of course,
with the stipulated interest. The H.
B. Clahin company is one of those
concerns that has made by the in
creased value of gold, and that will
lose by the increased value of silver.
MANY of the merchants who received
the circular letters referred to have
lost by the increased value OF gold, and
will gain by the increased value of sill
yer. But they are unable to under
stand it. They think that the H. B.
Clahin company knows more about
such things than they do-and they
are right.

THE POSITION OF THE FORTY
State Senator Kirkland, secretary of
the Forty, in an interview with The
Evening News, last Thursday, defined
the position of the organization on this
line:
"The object of the Forty movement
was to bring about better state of
feeling by healing the differences of
factions. AS regards the present situ-
alton, my idea is simply this: We
are willing to hold meetings with
Conservatives in each county and put
out q Joint ticket, which we shall work
to elect, provided the Conservatives
will bind themselves to abide the re-
suit of the primary and support the
nominees. If we are not successful,
we can but take our drubbing like
men. We are abundantly able to do
that. If we succeed, we have attained
our object, which is to wipe out
extremeism and furnish good consti-
tuition to the people of South Carolina.
In any event, our organization will
serve to check excesses and promote
fairness. If the administration whips
us in the fight, we shall fall into line
and work for their delegates. That is
all of it. You see, our fight will be
strictly within the Forty. We do not
propose to 60 beyond it. In the event
the Conservatives refuse to 60 into the
primary and be bound, the result will
be most unfortunate and deplorable.
Such action on their part would dissi-
pate and dissolve our organization,
and our efforts would end in smoke.
We would have toiled in vain. But I
do hope that the good sense of the
Conservatives will prevail, and they
will join with US for an aggressive and
clean fight"

INCOME TAX UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The supreme court, on last Monday,
rendered its second decision on the in
come tax law, and by vote of five to
four, declared the whole law unconsti-
tutional. Justice Shiras, who voted for
the law at the first hearing, changed
his opinion and voted against it. JUS
tice Jackson, who was not present at
at the first hearing, rendered a long
dissenting opinion upholding the con-
stitutionality of the law.
The decision of the court was rem
dered by Chief Justice Fuller, and was
rather dogmatic and peremptory than
otherwise. Each of the four dissent
ing judges gave independent opinions,
and in their criticims of their COL
leagues, were practically as severe as
are Senator Tillpan and Governor
Evans against Golf and Simonton.
Justice Harlan said the decision "is
little less than a revolution. 1t is
blow at the constitutional right Of
congress. 1t relieves the wealth of the
country of the burdens of taxation, and
denies the right of congress to call
upon the wealthy for help, even in
grave emergencies. 1t is likely that
the freemen of the country will become
so indignant, that they will refuse to
repeal the law. 1t is wicked assault
on the rights of the people, upon
whom rests the larger share of the bur-
dens of the government. The people
should no more be subjected to the
aggregated wealth of the country, than
to the depredations of outlaws"
Justice Jackson says "the decision
strikes down an important and essen-
tial power of government, and can only
be regarded as disaster and a public
calamity"
Justice Brown said: "I hope the de-
cision may not prove the first step to-
ward the submergence of the Liberties
of the people in despotism of wealth.
Believing, as do, that the decision of
the court in this case is fraught with
immeasurable danger to the future of
the country, and approaches the pro-
portions of a national calamity, l feel
it duty to enter my protest against
it,"
Justice White referred to the decision
of the court as Il dangerous and ap-
palling violation Of the constitution
which, instead of weakening, his first
opinion made it a thousand fold
stronger"
The opponents of the income tax
law have called its advocates socialists
and anarchists. We have all along
believed the law to be not only neces-
sary, but absolutely just. We believe
so still. The opinion of the minority
of the court meets with our hearty ap-
probation, and if this unrighteous
decision fails to stir up the most angry
protest that has ever been heard from
the liberty-loving American people,
we shall be indeed surprised.
