WASHINGTON, u. G., December 90

TWO DINNERS.

The other evening, Professor WILL
LIAM LEFT WILSON materialized and
appeared to public view in the fun glare
reflected from glittering crystal at the
banquet of the Young Mems Democratic
Association Of Philadelphia.
Laer. the New England Tariff Re-
form League held dinner in Boston,
the first food tasted under its new title
of the New K Elglaud Free Trade League
Both these occasions were noteworthy
from the fact that Professor WILSON
and the New England free trade
speakers demonstrated the survival OF
the optimistic spirit under adverse con-
ditions.
Professor WILSON, to be sure, still
holds to the opinion that the majority of
his countrymen are darn fools, but he
sees in the future hope for return to
faith in himself and what he represents.
In this connection it may be said that
Professor WILSON'S premise is necessary
to his hope. The Professor was con-
fndent that protection must 60 and
calamity must come, but as this
opinion is based on an expectation OF
the early return OF the Democracy Ito
power il can hardly be admitted as ten
able, even assuming that the people are
as great darn fools as Prof. WILSON
would have us believe.
In Boston town the free traders of
New England gathered. They are, of
course, only "a handful, but they were
fired with new spirit because of the fact
that they had cast away the bauble of
tariff reform and picked up new toy
which, while it is OF no more practical
use than lightning rod on top of heap
of scrap iron in the middle of
10-acre lot, it still has the
quality of indestructibility. The
free trade idea is something you can
grasp, whereas the tariff reform idea
was evanescent. What free trade means
everybody may know. What tariff re-
form meant depended upon the individ-
ual sense. Free trade is not likely to be
So attractive plaything as tariff reform
has been because 1t does not permit the
play of the individual Imagination in so
great degree. But its adoption as
principle makes it possible to count
noses and gives partial assurance that
its advocates may be somewhere near to
one opinion.
As matter of fact, of course, the
leaders Of the tariff reform movement
have always been free traders. Their
blind followers, including GROVER
CLEVELAND and Professor WILSON, were
pulled in under the attractive watc h.
word OF tariff reform. Now that tariff
reform administration has demonstrated
the variegated and faniastical ideas that
sprout under the tariff reform fertilizer,
the free traders are compelled to dis
claim responsibility for their artificial
product and tell folks more accurately
whittier they propose to rend.

THE SENATOR FROM MASS.

GEORGE FRIsBIE HoAR will be re-
elected Senator frolu Massachusetts, to
the credit of the O.d Bay State.
Senator HoAR is a patriot, coura-
geous, intelligent. and eloquent patriot,
one of the old chool patriots whose
kind built up these United States and to
whom, in our day, the mugwump loves
TO direct his sneering observation. IL
~ fitting time, this period
of Republican restoration, to have
the names of men like S=n-
ator HoAR brought to the front.
They are an inspiration TO patriotism
and the Democratic ascendency has
taught our young men, msNy OF whom
needed the knowledge, that patriotism
is not buncombe, that statesmanship is
not twaddle, that eloqoence Is not
mouthings.

Buying Votes With Patronage.
springflela Union,

- The indecent assault on the President by
Congressman Sibley of Pennsylvania ysster-
day, answers iIself-springfieli Republican.
Indecent assaults do not often answer them
selves, but our cuckoo friends always assume
that any charges made against the great and
good Grover Cleveland are TOO indecent to bo
noticed and hence that they may be dismissed
offhand as answered.
IL II to be regretted that any portion Of Mr..
sibley's sharp arraignment OF the admisistra-
tion should have been characto izei by such
coarsness of language as woul have Justified
the presiding officer ia calling him to order
and rebuking him for his failure to observe the
proprieties. IL must be admitted, however, that
the Congressman made certain charges that do
not answer themselves. He Is under no obli "a
ti)ns TO the eadmiuinistratlon which prevent his
telling the truth about its peculiar methods OF
forcing its will upon Congress. When Mr.
Sibley declared that the administration had
promised patronage to members who should
vote for the bill to repeal the silver purchase
law, he only gave voice TO what was
generally believed at the time of the repeal.
And IL is common knowledge that certain
Congressman bave not since received
the favors which they were then led
to expect. Congressman SibIey con-
veyed the impression that he knew
whereof he affirmed and could prove his as
sertions II he chose to do so. and the manner
In which he was assailed by the browbeating
cuckoos of the house, indicates that they did
not expect the indecent assault" to answer
itself" II is idle, Of course, to expect an in-
vestigation of this matter. but IL Is barely pos
sible that Mr.. Cleveland, excited by Mr.. sib-
ley's innuendoes, may communicate with
Congress on the subject, through the press.

Anti-Pool Selling.
Westerly Weekly.

An active effort has been commenced 10 SO
arouse public sentiment against pool selling
at horse races and other places rs TO insure
the repeal Of so much of the anti-pool selling
law as sanctions that thing at "agriculturaf'
fairs. At the session of the General Assembly
last winter, a bill was intro luced prohibiting
pool sci ing of every kind. The horse
men," professional and amateur, protested,
against the sweeping nature OF the bill, ssying
that without the privilege OF pool-selling 1t
would be impossible to secure the presence Of
good horses at the agricultural fairs, espsc-
ialiy the state fair, AS the owners of such
animals depended for their income more
upon the poo-selling than upon the earnings
Of the horses on the tracs. Accordingly the
grounds of Incorporated agricultural socisti 8
were exempt from the provisions or the law,
during the horse-racing season.
Tue privilege given to the societies was
abused outrageously at the State Fair. In ad-
dition 20 the pool selliag there was wheel Of
fortune, which was q vcritable sucker Of silver
quarters from the pockets of suckers" from
all parts of the State. Everybody,even the ad-
vocates of pool selling, condemed the wheel,
aud the result will be. without doubt, the
withdrawal of the permission given to agfi-
cultural societies to allow a little gambling for
the orses sakes. This exhibition of gambling
at last falls State Fair was followed by
several weeks of so-called racing, which drew
a motely crowd Of race-followers from New
York aud New Jersey, and about everywhere
else where the business had been condemend;
and when the show was over, aud the gamb-
lers and their dupes had separated for sea-
SOD, all Providence rejoiced.
The movement to secure the repeal of the
permission clause In this anti-pool sellins law
has received encouragement from all sections
of the State. Whatever other business the
General Assembly may have on hand three or
four weeks hence, 1t should allIw nothing to
interfere with prompt attention TO this mat
ter. 1t now seems certain that the lace track
men have themselves become frightened, SO
much so that they may not raise any objection
to the repeal But the repeal should come
promptly, and In such form as to make the
object sought certain Of being attained.

George Burrill Rawson-A Tribute
with Reyuiu isceuces.

With "Reminiscences.
To THE EDITOR or THE NEWS:
SIR-Mr. Rawson died on Friday, the 11th
inst, aged 50 years, after an illness Of
several months, yet without mourn, con-
scious to the last moment, passing away
quietly and peacefully as he had passed
through his long life.
Mr.. Rswson was the last one OF the firm
of Joseph Rawson & Sons, cabinet makers,
who for many years were the most favored
mechanics in town in that business.
Eighty-one years ago, In the old brick
schoclhouse, then standing on high
sand hill between Pine and Friendship
streets, on the west of Claverick street,
the hill then higher than the tops
of the houses now built on either
side OF It., George B. Rawson and the
writer sat together at the same desk
doing as well as they knew TO be good
scholars. Through the subsequent years
his life has been what the promise then
was-manly and upright. One other only
remains OF all the pupils IN that school.
We can only bow to the inevitable and
say, Good-by, dear friend George" con-
soled that you passed away so calmly
feeling that all was bright beyond.
