administration shouid either take the
Republican prescription or be their
own doctors"
The meaning of this. as pointed ont
by the Louisville Courier.Journal, is
that unless the President will sign q
high tariff bill Congress should allow
the deficiency in the revenue to con
tinue. This was what Republican,
papers called Starving tho Govern
ment," when Democratic House pro
posed 10 attach certain needed reforms
to appropriation bills. There Is not
the slightest doubt that many hot pro-
II has been specifically suggested aud
urged by some of them. Mr.. Mnnder-
son 10 not, however, in favor of so radl-
cal measure, Gs he thinks the situa-
ton does not justify it. He recognizes
tho difference of opinion between the
President and Congress aud looka to
some common ground upon which they
can stand. If mn agreement is desired,
Oh course there rs no difficulty IN pro
viding new taxes that will cover the
deficit. Mr.. Mandersou thinks the
best thing TO take the place of the in
come tax IL stamp tax. This would
fail, he says, upon the people best aGle
to bear it, and he thinks it could be
made to yield from $50, 900, 600 to s 90,
100000.
1t Is not yet evident that there is to
be permanent deficiency OF revenue.
Should the revenue go on increasing It
may be found by midwinter that exist
ing laws will afford revenue enough.
II expenses should be sharply curtuiled,
this would almost certainly he the case.
But with a Republican Honss, n reduc-
ton of expenses is not to be expected.
On the contrary, an increase ia tar
more likely.

ThE MAtoIt AND THE POLICE
sOMWISStONEteS.

Mayor Petit, in his letter to the
Councils, confesses to avery extraor-
binary exhibit of decentralization in the
Police Department of the city. The
Mayor is himself to blame, to q great
extent, il what he pictures is true.
There was q time when be could have
corrected the evils leading uplto this
condition. He permitted his opportu.
n:ty to pass, and he should share
equally with his associates the blame.
for the great lack of proper discipline
now prevailing in the Police Depart,
ment.
The Commissioners, no donbt, disc
gree with the Mayor, and will unques.
tionably have their answer to make to
His Honor's charges. They certainly
have exhibited backbone IN the Issue
they have made with the Mayor. THIS
is an element of force the Chief Exec,
tive OF the city failed to demonstrate IN
his dealings with his associates, when
he had the opportunity. The sufferers
are the policemen who are doing duty
and drawing no pay, and the public in
general who view with seriousness the
generalization that exists, aud are I'm.
certain what the consequences may be
should q grave emergency occur, re
curing prompt and decisive action.

sometimes change their opinions on
great questions, there would be little
need OF research, and still less of argu-
ment. 1t would be strange, indeed, if
men should bindly adhere to first con.
illusions despite all that may follow in
the way of development and discovery,
and the world would be the sufferer
thereby. There has never been any
thing truer said than, that "Wise men
sometimes change their opinions, but
fools never"
For instance, the Right Hon. Will
liam d. Gladstone began his career rs
Tory of the most pronounced type,
and yet the world has seen that career
closed with powerful, though an un.
successful attempt to MAKE suffrage
universal in Great Britain aud to give
Ireland Acknowledgment which
his first allies antsgoniZe and ever will.
Referring to this question, the Chat.
tanooga Times cites the fact That Clay
voted against chartcring national
bnnk in 1872, but four years later he
voted for the charter, and led an
aggressive fight in its behalf and won.
There was notable change of party
positions by more than hall OF the
great leaders from 1928 to 1891. Later
on Alex. Stephens and Robert Toomb
lief, the Wing and joined the Demo.
cratic party.
Coming down to our own times, it is
charged that Secre Carlisle and
Hoke Smith have not always held the
same opinion on the currency question
as now. Assuming this to be fact, it
is quite plain that great men change
their opinions on great questions, and
in many cases for the better; and nota
bly, Is such the fact in the cases of
Gladstone, Carlisle and Smith.
Whatever may have been the former
opinions of Mr.. Carlisle aud Mr.,
Smith on this question, it is gratifying
to know that they are in very good
company now, and "a the Times re
marks, referring especially to the posi-
ton OF the gentlemen: For our
part, we don't care at all whether they
believe now precisely as they did when
they left college; except this: We
would think they were of no great
account, if they had not picked up a
new idea here and there, and dropped
some OF the crude ones they gained in
their callow period. This chatter con.
cerning the crime of learning as one
livea. is not important. The men who
indulge in such talk are either very
dull or very dishonest"
