NEW YORK Tribune: Previousness ss in presidential booms is pretty sure to be fatal. There are several candidates at the present moment. whose names are in the public mind as not only eligible, but rather prominent. Most conspicu- ous of them are ex-President Harrison, Governor William Mckinley, of Ohio j; the Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, and Governor Levi P. Morton, of New York-all Republican statesmen of eminent ability and distinguished pub lie service. Any one of them would poll the full vote of the party; would !, unless conditions change very ma- terially, be reasonably sure of election and could be depended upon to give the country a clean, honest and capable administration. We do not know and we do not believe anyone knows. the order in which they stand 80 far as the chances for the nomination are con- cerned.

THE CON TEMPT BILL.

The contempt bill is practically law, since nothing is wanting to make it one but the signature of the gov ernor, not likely to be withheld from measure of so much merit. It is a long stride in legislation and re- moves from Arizona at least a relic of those times when the liberty of men was not so highly regarded as it is now. At first glance it would appear strange that this legislation should have had to wait until the close of the Nineteenth century for enactment. It is not so strange, though, when We consider the proverbial unwillingness of lawyers to disturb precedents or to disarrange the established order of things. Nor is it strange when we remember that within the last hundred years no im- provements have been made in the machinery of the judiciary.
 Than the provision for a change of venue and a trial bv jury, nothing could be more natural. In civil and criminal cases judges are inca apacitated by preju- dice or interest which may not be at all personal. In case of contempt the judge would be more than human if he did not entertain personal and ad. verse feeling toward the defendant. In theory the ermine is wrapped about the judge protecting him against his preju- dices. That is purely a poetic theory, wholly unsupported by prosaic facts. To err is human; judges are human therefore judges are liable to err. This is faultiess logic.
 The present bill does not rob the court of its ability to preserve its dig. nifty but it does make it the business of unbiased men and judges to inquire if its dignity has been assailed. If so there is proper punishment for the cul- prit. So while the dignity of the court is adequately preserved the liberty of citizens is sufficiently guarded.

The business men who voted for the

The business men who voted for the change, hoping to buy supplies cheaper and create increased prosperity by starving labor at home, finds that the actual business throughout the country has steadily fallen off from the very day his ill-advised vote was counted in the Democratic column. He reads in the commercial columns of his news paper that for the month of February just closed, the decrease in volume of business from that of the same month in 1893 was 34 per cent, or more than one-third. And, according to the ef- forts of the Democratic press to show that the revenues of the country are rapidly increasing, very large part of the business remaining is done with goods manufactured in Europe, still further reducing the purchasing power of the American wage earner.
 This is but small part of what the record of the past two years shows against the policy that has brought ruin upon the country. But it is enough to prove that the tariff question will not down at the bidding of those who deceived the people into the change from Republican ideas of gov ernment. The campaign of next year will be made upon the questions of silver and protection.
 The Repu blican party will be found on the right side of both.

THE ISSUE WILL NOT DOWN.

THE ISSUE WILL NOT DOWN.
 The Democratic party is to make 8 desperate effort to keep the tariff ques- ton out of the next national campaign but it is question that will not down. Time continues to lay bare the folly of even the ''step towards tariff reform" taken by the Fifty third congress.
 The overwhelming majority that made possible the legislation under which the country IS staggering today was made by the votes of deluded far mers and wage-earners, and what have they since learned? The farmer was told that he was being robbed for the benefit of the manufacturer, and that the kind of reform talked about would give him not only protection but de- cided advantage. He has learned that since his vote of 1892 was recorded the price of farm products has declined more than 10 per cent, while the aver age price of manufactures has fallen of but little more than per cent.
 So what has the farmer gained from that standpoint?
 And how is it with the wage earner He voted for change in the midst os the greatest prosperity the country ever had, on the promise that he would, un- der the reform promised, be able to save more money from the product of his years labor.
 He has learned that whereas there has been fall in prices of manufactured goods of trife over per cent, and of breadstuffs and provisions of 10 per cent, making an average for the two of S1s per cent, the decline in wages paid has been much greater, for those who can even get any work at all. Statistics given by the great commercial agencies show that the falling off in wages has been II 63 per cent, and the decrease in the nun Der of people employed has been 1902 per cent.
 So, what has the wage earner gained ?

THE PLAIN fact about Mr. Bissell's resignation evidently is that another good man has been driven out of the public service by the pressure of the office-seeking politicians. Having borne it for two years, MT. Bissell prefers to retire rather than continue to be sub mitted to it's worries and annoyances for two years more.-Springield (Mass. ) Republican.
 Nonsense. That Is what MT. Bissell was appointed for. Candidates for post offices have just as much right to ask for office as candidates for the lresi- dency or places in the cabinet.
