such men on both sides of the water
men who are engaged in great enter

thousands of employees in this and other

the world is on the eve of better times.
Except for a squirt In 1890 '92, they
maintain that hard times have prevail

that the prospective activity will make

the slightest ill-will toward Mr..
Pingree. on the contrary find many

think he has obtained credit for many
things to which he is not entitled. One
of the first and foremost claims adj
vanced by his supporters is, that he
will reduce the taxes AS will be seen
by the statistics, the public debt Of
Detroit has been enormously increased
under ms administration. That Mr..
Pingree if chosen would make a good

pute but that he would make any bet

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

Chairman Powers, of the Democratic
state central committee, has filed his
statement of moneys received and dis
bursed during the recent campaign.
The central committee did not receive
very much money, less than S1,70O. but
excellent work was done with it. About
one-fourth was received by the COM
mittee from The Herald through its
subscription plan. it duplicating every
subscription made, half going TO the
stale commiktee and half to the ma
tional committee. Had the subscrip
tons come in, The Herald would have
been glad 10 have trebled or quadrupled
the amount it paid in on its subscrip-
ton plan.
The scheme of sending out cards in
wiling subscriptions of 50 cents each
was very successful Some eight hum
dred were sent out and about 80 per
cent came back with the half dollar
pasted in. Could it have been adopted
earlier and cards have been furnished
the county committees and by them to
the precinct committees. it is probable
that a large sum would have been
raised. AS it was, it was pronounced
success.
1t is a very gratifying thing to the
Democracy that with so small cam
paign fund such magnificent results
were accomplished. Had not the hearts
of the people been in the Democratic
cause it could not have been done; in
fact no campaign fund, no matter how
large, could have succeeded in winning
such a victory. Victories at the polls
must be won by the votes of the people,
who cannot be purchased. and the
people will ever support the party that
champions their cause.
The publication of election expenses
is made compulsory by statute, and it
is eminently proper. But last year the
Democratic central committee pub
lished a full and complete statement
of IT'S receipts and expenditures the
same as i has done this year. 1t led
the way to this reform, and is entitled
TO the credit for it.

TARIFF REVISION.

Each day it becomes more evident
worried over the question of tariff 1t
is recognized that tariff is the rock
upon which the party IS built, and it
is also recognized that it is the very
rock upon which it struck four years
ago and nearly foundered. The cleo
tions of 1894 were somewhat of a guide
upon the question. Not so the elections
of 1896 The issue this year was the
money question. 1t caused lifelong
members of the Democratic and Re
publican parties to break away and
change sides; in fact. it is generally
conceded now that it was Democratic
detection that elected Major Mckinley.
Whether this be so or not, the aid these
Democrats gave was very material
and it was not given for the purpose
of expressing any approval of Repub-
lican tariff politics.
The extremists in the party want
complete tariff revision. while the
moderates want nothing of the kind.
Thus we find that staunch but con-
sentative paper, the Pittsburg Dis
patch, declaring that in any eonsidera-
ton of the tariff question it is only
necessary to provide additional pro-
lection to the comparatively few in
dustries that are suffering from want
of it; that a Encouragement of a few
other schedules will secure the rev.
enue necessary to meet current ex-
penses; and that all this may be done
by separate bills with the minimum
amount of disturbance of business in
terests as whole. which is the great
est need of the time and the demand.
of the people who have so long suffered
from disturbance and threats of dis
turbance and destruction.
That is almost too wise a view to be
taken by those who will control the
partys policy. What the country does
not want above all things is tariff
tinkering; it has become absolutely
tired of it whether INDUCED in by
Republicans or Democrats ANY party
that shall reopen the whole question for
the next few years will have the dis
approval of the entire people. The
country will stand the imposition of
enough taxes to supply the revenue
necessary to wipe out the recurring
monthly deficits; nothing more. II is
not at all probable that any particular
tariff revision will be attempted at the
coming session of congress, and there is.

wEYLER's HEAD WANTED.

A story comes from cuba by way
of Atlanta that the Cuban insurgents
have offered a reward of $1,000 for
Weyler's head The story SOUNDS a
little fshy and must be taken with a
quantity of salt.
Weyler's head isn't worth half that
to the insurgents. 1t is very much
better for their cause that he be al
lowed to keep 1t and return to Spain
with it, where it will be cut off officially.
That will serve to show Europe how
impotent Spain is to suppress the re-
bellion and will do much to spread the
idea that the Cubans are entitled to an
dependence. The recall of Campos
was a real blow to Spain. and the Gu
bans were fortunate in having the
change in captains-ge general made. The
more changes there are, so long as they
do not result in the sending over of
general who will succeed in suppressing
the rebellion, the better it is for them.
Weyler alive and powerless to achieve
any sfgnal success is of more value to
the insurgents than Weyler dead. and
especially through the efforts of those
who seek a reward for Staying him.
The idea of setting a price upon any
mans head, in war times, is repulsive,
and begets antipathy instead of SYM
pathy. For the Cubans to put price
upon Weyler's head, if they have really
done so. is for them to injure their
own cause. It would prove that they
are as savage and delight in butchery
as much as Weyler himself, if the
stories about him be true.

POLICE AND FIRE COMMISSIONERS

1t is quite a while since the citizens
were annoyed with chickering's over
the police and fire departments, but
if Dame Rumor is to be relied upon at
adj the citizens much appreciated rest
is about to be broken. In the depart
reeDts themselves there is not the least
discord;. both seem efficient and the
people are satisfied. But # appears
that the mayor is not, and that in
making appointments to fill up the va
cancies in the police and fire com
mission. caused by the designations Of
Messrs Varian and Jennings, requis-
lite in the qualifications of their sue
cessors is that they shall pledge them
selves TO lop off the heads of the po-
lice and fire departments. If this be
true, any man who would accept an ap-
pointment at the mayors hands would
be utterly unfit for the position and
would be butt the subservient and das-
picable tool of the power that APP
pointed him.
We will not say we do not believe the
mayor is capable of exacffng such
pledges, because his promises when
INDICTED into office and HIS perform
ances since his induction would not
warrant the expression of such a be-
lief With all the talk there has been
on the street about this matter it be-
comes certain that there is some fire
where there is SO much smoke, and
when the appointments are made those
receiving them are liable to be more or
less suspicioned on this matter, though
it may be unjustly
The people of this city haven't that
great faith in the mayor that they
would be glad 20 have, and they do not
believe the motives prompting some CT
his actions are of the very highest.
For this reason they do not like the
street talk about what his honors in
tentions are regarding the appoint
ment of two members of the police and
fire commission. They feel that the
City government is run a little too much
on the theory of THE public be
damned" The people being the pub
lie, resent it.
If there are any good grounds for
Topping off the heads of the police and
fire departments, let them come off,
but not for the qualification of any per
sonal dislike or to provide places for
cronfes and chums.

4 Graceful ACT.

When Colonel Fred. D. Grant, the
son of General Grant, called upon Mrs.
Jefferson Davis and Miss Winnie Da-
Wis, he did an act as graceful and gal
liant as Sir Walter Raleigh did when
he spread his cloak upon the ground
for Queen Elizabeth to walk upon 1t
was an act that proves him to be a
worthy son of his great father. No
where else in the world could it have
been done. Mrs. Davis is the widow of
the man who is and always will be re-
garded as the very head and front of
the rebellion; his name is synonymous
with it.
Colonel Grant is the son of the great
military chieftain whose name is for
ever identified with the crushing out
of the rebellion and the preservation of
the Union. The act of Colonel Grant
in paying his respects to Mrs. Davis,
is fit to stand alongside his fathers
action at AppOmattox Court House
when he told the conquered confeder-
ates to take their horses home with
them as they would need them on the
farm.
Mrs. Davis is a distinguished and
noble woman, beloved by the people
of the south. respected by those of the
north. That the son of General Grant
should pay his respects to her will en-
dear him to the hearts of the southern
people. They honor bravery and gal
lantry in all men. This one little act
of courtesy will have the effect that
the strewing of flowers upon the graves
of the departed does-it draws the liv-
ing closer together and softens the
memory of a bitter past.

WAR, AND RUMoRs OF WAR.

AS each year rolls round, so rolls
round the silly season, the season just
before congress convenes, when a great
many people and papers are filled with
terrible forebodings of war. Almost
every report of the general of the army
intensifies these forebodings. In his
recent report, General Miles called for
an increase of the army, while in the
report of the board of ordnance and
Notifications. signed by General Miles
and other officers, the people are told
that
"a war, if it comes at all, will
come with no warning, and no time for
preparation. China, with undefended
ports and an inadequate navy, was de-
feated in a few months. In the last
war between the great military powers
of Germany and France, the surrender
at Sedan occurred only 40 days after
the declaration of war. The wars of
nations occur in cycles Of varying
length, but seldom does a generation
pass without a great conflict. Already
more than 80 years have elapsed since
our last great war, and another may
soon, if the past be a guide to the fu-
ture, terminate one of the longest in
Our engineer department is ready with
the most modern plans for fortifica-
lions, and our ordnance department is
prepared with designs for guns and
carriages that are equal to any in the
world. If congress will but increase
the appropriations to the capacity of
these departments for useful and eco
nomical work, it will not be long be-
fore our coasts are secure against the
attack of foreign powers. An effective
preparation for war is the best safe
guard against war;
This cry about preparing for war in
time of. peace is not an absolutely new
one. If those who are continually rails
ing it could but have their way the
United States would soon be placed
upon a war footing as it is understood
in Europe.
Last week we were to have a war
with Spain, but as the governments at
Washington and Madrid positively de-
the war spirit have been compelled to
hunt up another impending war threat
in another quarter. 1t has been found
and fulfills all the conditions of those
engaged in the war scare business. The
Montreal correspondent of the New
York Sun furnishes it.
This correspondent says that the mil
itary preparations going on in Canada
are of such a nature that it is every
day more evident that England is Gre
ating there great place for
the storage TO arms against the
American republic. That is not
all. The country is actually
threatened with ACKNOWLEDGMENT. This
all-wise correspondent says that it may
come as a surprise to the American
people to hear that it is seriously be-
lieved in Canada that that country can
not only hold its own against the
United States with the help of Eng
land, but that it is only a question of
time when a large portion of the New
England states and a portion of New
York will be asking admission into the
Canadian confederation.
All that is the silliest of stuff. Why
it should ever have been written and
sent broadcast over the land is hard
to understand

to sweep over the land at regular per-
