Nothing Gained by Compromise.

Compromise Will not settle the
louor QUESTION. This demon of alcohol
cannot be cajoled with taffy, conciliat-
cd with concessions or satisfied with
compromises. Nothing short of ami
bilatlon will Danish, or even diminish 4,
the curse of liquor-selling.
The most drastic measures, the most
enthusiastic convictions, combined
with the most aggressive and deter
mined energy of an ernest horoic peo-
pie, will be necessary to reach and ex-
terminate this vile cancer. This
outburst OF public condemnation must
come soon.
We must have a moral revolu ton to
save our country from utter desola-
ton. We must have relief from this
insidious maelstrom of the liquor
traffic which is now threatening to
engulf our civilization.

1T seems very early for heavy ice
fields and icebergs to be reported in as
low ATTITUDES as 40 deg 20 min N.
These fields and bergs form much
further north and are carried south by
the great polar current which flows
down past Greenland, Labrador and
Newfoundland and finds its way to
equatorial regions by sinking below
the gulf stream. AS the motion of
this current is not rapid the ice must
have been drifting for some weeks,
which indicates that there NAV have
been an unusually mild spring in
northern ATTITUDES. Speaking from
memory we should say that it is nearly
if not quite fifty years since the great
ice barrier on the east coast of Green
land gave way. This was said by lead
ing authorities to be the most import
ant geological event in modern history,
for as the barrier never formed again
its disappearance indicated perman-
ent change of some unknown but very
potent nature. 1t is therefore posi-
BILE that the occurrence at this time of
such large bodies of ice in the Allan tic
as are reported in our dispatches may
be due to some important changes in
Attic misunderstanding Times.

Wilson VS. Mckinley Bills.

During the first period-that of the
normal action of the Mckinley law
from October 1890, to the meeting of
the Fifty-third Congress in July, 1898,
period of 81 months, the receipts
were 81 ,O41 ,O47 1904 and The expendi-
lures, $1,O17,O73,215, leaving in the
treasury surplus of $23.974,5S9.
During the second period-that of
uncertainty, wherein the business
world was trimming It's sails to meet
the coming storm, and extending from
the meeting of the Fifty-third Con-
gress to the enactment of the Wilson
German law, in August 1894, period
of thirteen months, the figures of the
Mckinley law are: Receipts, 1887, )
97S,623; expenditures, 4O5,4S9 1864 ;
deficiency during the consideration of
the new tariff law $66,57O,741.
Then comes the work of the Wilson
German law, from its enactment to
December /, 1895, period of fifteen
months. The total receipts for this
time were $373,796,64S; expenditures,
$444 .29O,692; deficiency due to the
Democratic tariff, SIC, 494,O44.
It will be observed that the McKin-
ley law produced during its "a months
of normal action, not only sufficient
to meet all the expenses of the govern
ment, but also handsome surplus of
$23 1884 ,5S9, and thatit only deficiency
period was in which the new law was
being framed, and in which, as already
shown, the imports were being held
back. On the other hand, the Wilson
German law. which came in with the
stock Of foreign goods exhausted and
the importers waiting to bring in en-
ormous stocks under it, has produced
a deficit of $70,494,44 in the fifteen
months it has been in operation

Cleveland Against All Meassres 4. Fave,
Of the People
The president appeals to congress for
help in sustaining the finances OF the
country on sound basis" II is next
70 certain that congress will not re-
spond In accordance with his desires.
In the FIRST place Mr.. Cleveland takes
il upon himself to determine what Is q
sound basis" and In the second place
he assumes to dictate the legislation
necessary TO preserve it, Such being
the case. the question naturally arises
What has congress to do with the legis-
lation OF the country anyway. Mr..
Cleveland seems to be under the i'm
preston that he Is the government.
and that the only function Of congress
is to come together and register his de-
crees. A mere matter OF form. OF
course His second election, coupled
with his success in forcing the repeal
OF the Sherman law" appears to have
completely turned his head. 1t is mere
than likely that he will veto any meas
ure that 10 sent to him. So far as the
merits Of the tari0 bill are concerned
II Ii . matter Of indifference to us what
he does with II. As a party MEASURE
1t ID neither nsh nor flesh. and its mer
it, are doubtless fairly open to dispute.
But In our judgment any president
makes . mistake who vetoes 4 bill
merely because he does not approve Of
It's details. The veto power IL an ex
traordinary one and should only be e.
ercised on extraordinary occasions.
Unless . measure contravenes public
policy. or violates the constitution. the
president should not set up his judR-
nent against the combined wisdom OF
both houses Of congress. In the pres
emit juncture nothing will satisfy Mr..
Cleveland but legislation that will fas-
ten the golden shackles upon the limbs
Of his countrymen for all time. Can
dor forces us TO admit. though. that
there are large numbers OF republicans
In congress who would be very glad to
help him. Some Of them may actually
do 20. But some will not. Others
dare not. We do not believe that there
will be any legislation that will tend TO
sustain the gold standard. without
such legislation that standard cannot
b maintained for any considerable
length Of time. With . var. under
existing conditions. that premium 10

Americanism until ii is stalwart enough

Over $4,000. 900 In gold went to England
to-day from our treasury by Schle-
heimer ct al. on paper. that calls for

The president orders all these to be
paid in gold coin and so the silver is left

cause Mr.. Cannon has bestowed some
thought upon the money question. and
has certainly many times expressed q
desire 10 have silver restored. True.
he opposes every measure looking TO
that end. but still he claims that he
wants IL done. Why? How will the
restoration OF silver have any effect
upon business. In just one way. BY
lessening the demand for gold. II that
will not make gold cheaper" then
there is nothing in the law OF supply

Then We ask again why does he want
silver restored,
Whether silver be restored by inter
national agreement or by the action OF
the United States alone. the effect must
be 10 make gold cheaper. That means
a rise Of prices. We are scarcely pre-
pared TO believe Mr. Cannon is ignorant
