THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE.

No doubt Mckinley and his man
ayers would like very much to make
the tariff the leading issue of the cam
paign. Mr.. Hanna is declaring in
season and out of season that the issue
of the campaign will be tariff. Asked
the other day whether the campaign
would take the direction of tariff or
finance, he replied: "Oh, it will be
strongly tariff-you may be sure of
that" Do not he so sure of that your
self, Mr.. Hanna
The New York Evening Post, on this
subject Of the tariff as the campaign
issue. very pertinently remarks that
If the campaign is made on the tariff
issue, a new tariff bill must be
promised, and asks how that promise
is to be kept. 1t reminds the Nc
Kinley managers of the fact that the
senate is in control Of the silver men.
and they will allow no tariff bill to
pass. unless there is proper recogni-
ton of silver. They demonstrated
| their power liz this respect when they
held up the Dingley bill. They would
! hold up Mckinley bill just as readily
and effectually.
Try as they will, Mr. Hanna and the
Mckinley managers will not be able
to subordinate the financial issue to
that of tariff. They may attempt it
but their efforts will be vain. They
are strong and able men, but their
strength and ability are not equal to
accomplishing the task they have set
themselves

UNFIT FOR CITIZENSHIP.
In a recent issue the New York Com
mercial Advertiser said:

In a recent issue the New York Com
mercial Advertiser said:
The fact is, and the sooner intelli-
gent people realize it the better, that a
large section of the country. living
chiefly south of Mason and Dixon :
line and west of the Mississippi river
is peopled by men who are untitled
IN many respects, or at least in some
respects, to exercise the full franchise
of citizenship of the United States.
This statement makes the Omaha
World-Herald very indignant, and in
refutation of it, it goes into statistics
showing the ratio of criminals to
100000 inhabitants in the various
states. All of which is a waste of time
and printers ink, for the statement
is absolutely true; and upon reflection
the World-Herald will cheerfully ad-
nit its truth We will, in slang phrase,
go the Commercial Advertiser one bet
ter and say that the fact is that a.
large section of the country, lying
chiefly north Of Mason and Dixon S
line and east of the Mississippi river,
is peopled by men who are untitled in
many respects, or at least IN some re-
spects, to exercise the full franchise
of citizenship of the United States.
The limits we have set, added to those
Of the Commercial Advertiser. include
the whole country, and we think the
statement truly applicable to the whole
country. We feel safe in the assertion
that there are people in the city of
Omaha that the World Herald thinks
are untitled in many, if not more, re-
spects to exercise the full franchise of
citizenship of the United States. For
instance, Mr.. Rosewater of the Bee; and
we have no doubt that Mr.. Rosewater
would say, vice versa
The fact of the matter is that when
we look around US and survey the po-
litical field as it is, carefully study its
component parts and see how every
one has the elective franchise, we are
reminded of the story of the congress
man who was at first greatly aston
ished that he should ever have been
elected, but whose astonishment at his
own election gradually gave way to
the still greater astonishment tnat his
congressional associates should ever
have been elected.
What the Commercial Advertiser
says of the south and west is pecul-
iarly applicable to that part of the
United States known as Manhattan
island. And the sooner intelligent peo-
pie realize it the better" though why
it is better we do not know, except
that the Commercial Advertiser says
it is. and we are willing to accept its
authority, it seeming to have made
study of the question.
When people are disappointed and
become philosophic PHILOSOPHY is moth
Ing but a salve for Disappointment do
they not delight to quote Cariyles say
ing: Forty million people, mostly
FOOLS and apply it to our own coun-
try? Then Of necessity there must be

THE IDAHO REPUBLICANS.

The Idaho Republicans are very
much divided over the proper course
to pursue on the question Of the bolt.
1t threatens to disrupt the party. The
Boise Statesman, the oldest and the
leading Republican paper in the state,
thinks that those who endorse the ac-
ton of those who bclted should still
stand by the platform. as it really
promises all that they bolted for 1t
says that "all our Republicans are in
favor Of bimetallisn, bat as to the
manner in which the government
should proceed to bring it about there
is a difference of opinion. The differ
ence is not as TO the principle. but as
to the method. Difference as to prin-
ciples may be radical and beyond re-
concilement. but there should not be
irrenediable divergence respecting
methods
Such reasoning. if reasoning it may
be called, will never convince those
Republicans who honestly and ear
nestly favor free coinage.
If the Statesman is right, that the
difference is not one Of principle but
of method, then the method approaches
so near 10 principle that it VIII serve
the same purpose. The question being
whether the adoption of free coinage
of silver in this country shall be i'm
mediate and not contingent upon the
action of some other government, it
becomes vital and of first Importance.
After setting forth the views OF those
who favor International action on sill
yer and these who favor immediate
and INDEPENDENT action (the language
of the Statesman is 1.-The experiment
of committing this government to free
coinage of silver without the co-opera-
ton of any other nation, y the States
man says:
The difference as stated, is entirely
one Of method, and those who support
the platform have the trained thought
of the world on their side as we'll as
the wisdom and authority of their
party. Surely, in harmonizing such a
difference as to method, men should
| not be asked to break away from
their party and join in promoting an
| experiment that is so universally re-
garded as dangerous by all who are
best qualified to judge OF the effect of
financial measures.
The assertion that the international
bimetallists have the trained thought
of the world on their side as we'll as
the wisdom and authority of their
party is an appeal to the free silver
men that they cannot withstand In
ferentially, there is no trained thought
on their side
The Idaho Republican state conven-
ton meets August IS. 1t will be an
exceedingly interesting one. At pres
ent the prospects are that the action
of Senator Dubois, ex-Congressman
Sweet and others will be endorsed.

No Gentleman.

He was an old man. One hand held an
umbrella, the other clutched bundle of
newspapers. AS he stepped off the curb
at Madison avenue and Inirtieth street a
knickerbocker young woman on a wheel
rounded the corner at an acute angie.
A confused heap OF age youth and bicy-
Gle, with youth and beauty on top, re-
suited. A crowd gathered in an instant
and age was quickly aided, youth need
ing no assistance. AS soon as the old
man recovered from the shock he turned
toward the mannish young woman and in
excited tones exclaimed:
You're no gentleman! You're no
gentleman, siri' The young woman apol-
ogized and the old man gazed upon her in
bewildered astonishment.
''Why-er-you don't mean to tell me
that you're a woman?"
Youth and beauty nodded and the old
gentleman cooled off and smilingly re-
piled:
well, 1 must insist on my first asser-
ton, that you you are no gentleman
Then he courteously assisted her to
gather up the debris lifted his hat and
strolled parkward.-New York Letter TO

FEES IN RHoErvERsH1p CASES.

1t is matter of common comment
that the fees in receivership cases are
! far in excess of the services rendered.
Receiverships are usually the result Of
such gross mismanag cement that it is
hard to distinguish it from plumber
ing The receivers are never over
modest in asking compensation.
compensation that is usually very far
in excess of their earning capacity.
Some years ago when a receiver was
appointed for the property of the
Mormon church, several who were sup
posed to be authorities on what was
the proper compensation in such cases
gave their opinions, one opinion being
that a proper compensation would be
$4,000. 1t was simply a most absurd
proposition.
The complaint against excessive fees
in receivership cases is heard in vari-
Gus parts of the land. The other day
the grand jury for the Fulton county,
Ga, superior court made a report
Among its recommendations was one
on this subject. 1t was to this effect:
We view with apprehension the
growing tendency on the part of our
courts to allow attorneys and others
excessive fees in receivership cases,
paid from funds in the hands of the
receiver, and wish to place upon this
practice our unqualified condemna-
ton Unless greater moderation is
exercised by the courts in this respect
no firm or corporation doing a bust
ness of any magnitude is safe. We are
convinced there are corporations and
concerns whose substance has been dis
sipated in this manner, and many of
them who would have weathered the
financial storm and today be doing
we'll and earning money for creditors
and stockholders but for the hope of
fat fee to be allowed by the courts
out Of the wrecked estate.
What is applicable to receiverships
in Georgia is applicable to them in
Utah and elsewhere.
