There never was a Congress where there
was less excuse for deciding election CON
tests on any ground but that Of merit,
than the present one. When one party
has but a meagre majority there is an al
most irresistible temptation to exc it out
by reprisals from the other side through
the instrumentality Of election contests.
But in this Congress the Republican ma
jority is SO large as to be able to dc
promptly everything it can agree upon,
The opposition to it is hardly more thai,
nominal. There is therefore no excuse
whatever for considering election cases
except upon their merits. and if Speaker
Reed has his way, that is the W ay in
which they will be considered and settled.
1t is of great Importance too that they
be settled promptly, and if the appoint
nlent of two election committees will
couduce to that result, they should be APP

INTERESTING FACTS
Mr.. PERABo AND THE CHICKERING PIANO.

1t is now thirty years since first used
the Chickering piano, and have never
accorded it any public praise except that
of using it, This silence has been caused
by the shameful warfare between tho
traders, who, without one spark OF artls-
tic sense, have parafsed their selfish inter-
ests on every sheet in both hemispheres.
Shrinking from the din of such coarse
controversy, sincere and disinterested
musical Judgment naturally seeks shelter
in an inner circle of refinement and ST.
lence, despairing to enter, without loss
of self respect, that commercial sphere
which were it honorably man
aged, would be the most potent of all
factors in securing to true merit its de-
sired appreciation.
Under these circumstances, the fact
that no pecuniary Or other extraneous
motive has ever been offered to induce
me to use the Chickering piano speaks
for itself with sufficient force ! always
choose this piano because in my long
study of the great masters have never
found so true an interpreter of their ge-
MUS, or one whose workmanship can so
uniformity be deepened upon, whether
considered POLITICALLY or technically. The
keyboard is most agreeable to the touch,
evenly graded, while the bass has a lnu-
steal fullness as satisfying in it's power
as the l-proportioned treble is in it's
deeply vocal and finally fute-like
quality. The orchestral gradations from
double-bass to flute are most admirably
given, better than upon any other instru.
ment have ever played. The tone is
purely mellow and musical, and lends
itself as readily to the orchestral blending
as to the more delicate conditions OF
chamber music. Finally the action is
SO well and evenly regulated that, in all
my long public service, have never
found is necessary to use the soft pedal,
the touch being quite sufficient to pro-
duce every variety of shading.
The gentlemen composing the firm
have never asked me to make any written
statement about their instruments. This
notice is entirely voluntary on my part.
l make it because it is just to both sides,
and because | consider the result of their
great and patient labors, a noble contri-
button to the refining influences to be
found and experienced in that oft-neg-
lected sphere-the innermost region Of
our nature.

Revenue cannot be derived from
tariff which is so high as to become
prohibitive. If we increase the tariff on
products and articles that com pete with
similar products and articles raised and
manufactured in this country to the pro-
hibition point, then, if we rely upon
tariff; for our revenue, we must impose
duties ON articles of foreign production
which are not raised or manufactured In
this country. What we should gain in the
protection oflour own products in .that.way
we should lose in the increased price of
things that we could not produce, but
must, import People who talk of rails
ing all the revenue we need from tariff
alone should bear in mind these facts.
The Mckinley tariff did not supply the
revenues needed by 800, 900. 600, the bal
ance being derived from internal taxa
ton, and the only way that tariff could
have been made to produce more would
have been probably by laying duty
on tea or coffee and sugar, articles which
we produce either not at all or in small
quantities; but the addition of these ar
ticles would have been in direct viola
ton of the protective principle. Some in
ternal revenue taxation therefore will be
necessary to supplement a protective
tariff, and talk of abandoning that
method of raising revenue entirely is i'll
considered.

IN S|LVER'S NECK
Is Where the League OF Republican
Clubs Seems Anxious TO Sink
the AK.
TWO SEVERE BLOWS ALREADY
The Goldbuss Will Keep the Tariff
Bogie.Man to Brighten
the People.

CLEVELAND, June 19.-The Eighth
national convention of the league Of re-
publican clubs convened in Music hall
today with 200 delegates in the auditor
ium and the galleries TILED with visitors.
After prayer by Rev. S. L Darsie, Secre-
tary Humphrey read the call and adj
dresses of welcome were made by Mayor
McKisson and President D. D. Woodman-
see of the Ohio league Of republican clubs.
President VIM. w. Tracey called the
league convention to order at 10 o'clock
this morning. His annual address was
received with great enthusiasm. On the
silver question he said: ut is keeping
with the record Of the past that the
democratic leaders should strive to take
advantage of sentiment created largely
through their own laundering, and then
20 shouting from the housetops their
devotion to silver in the hope that they
may through this agitation be saved
from oblivion. The facts are that the
democratic party never did anything for
silver in any of the years it was in
power. During the years before the war
when free coinage did exist the demo-
cratic party did not coin two millions of
silver dollars, and yet in the past twenty
five years the republican party has
coined over three hundred million Of sll-
yer dollars and issued three hundred
million of silver certificates against sill
yer purchased" When Secretary Hum
phrey called the states to ascertain the
number of delegates and a~lteruates it
was ascertained that the states could re-
port only those present, not the number
to which they were entitled. This
was against the silver men, whose
delegations we're not as full as those of
other states. There were loud demon
STATIONS when Tennessee, Missouri,
Kentucky, and other democratic states
we're called. The greatest ovation was
given II. Clay Evans, of Tennessee. In
his address of welcome, President ID. ID.
W OOOmdlEee OF the OLlO league eN-
pressed regret that Gov. Mckinley WAS
prevented by his Kansas engagement
from welcoming the delegates to Ohio.
The reference to Mckinley caused a loud
and continuous demonstration. Wood
mansee said Mckinley would reach the
city Friday evening and at the ilolleuden
would be glad to greet all. The eecre'
tary announced that there were repre-
sented forty-siy states and territories,
the largest number ever iepr sented al
any convention of the league. Among
the delegates were four ladies from Colo,
RADIO, one from New York, two from
Washington and three from Illinois. II,
Clay Evans, of Tennessee, moved to re-
fer all resolutions to the committee on
resolutions without debate. An amend.
ment to refer without reading was de
feated. AS the silver men protested
Evans motion prevailed. At | p. m. the
convention adjourned until 10 d. m. to.
morrow to give the committees time tc
work.
