THE POLICY OF 1890.

The San Francisco Call says that
what is wanted is the immediate re-
turn ito the policy of 1890 which gave
our home industries the preference in
our own markets. and which in turn
not only supplied ample revenue for
the expense account of the govern
ment. but kept our circulating money
in our own channels of trade
That is to say, a. return to McKin-
leyism. That is no doubt what those
who benefited by the Mckinley law
want. 1t did more than any law ever
placed upon the statute book to en-
courage monppolies, to give the great
manufacturing employers the power to
dictate terms 70 the working classes.
The Cali says that under this law
times were good. and there was sit
isfyi1g prosperity everywhere during
its operation. or rather uutil it was
definitely known that Europe was to be
invited 10 enter our markets on a par

prfses.' If there were the virtue in
this tariff law Of 1890 that its friends

A LAW AGAINST TRAMPS.

On the 9th Of this month the Massa-
chusetts law against tramps went into
effect. It is stringent and covers the
tramp nuisance pretty we'll The most
radical provision against the tramp is
that it shifts the burden of proof from
the state to him, as certain acts are
made prina facie evidence that a man
is a tramp and he must show his limo
cence. The law defines very clearly
what acts constitute a man a tramp:
ANY person not being minor under
seventeen years of age, or a person
asking charity within his own city or
town, who roams about from place to
place, begging, or living without labor
or visible support shall be deemed a
tramp An act of begging or soliciting
aims whether money, food. lodging, or
clothing, by a person having no resi-
dence in the town within which such
act is committed, or the riding on the
freight train Of any railroad, whether
within or without, any car or part
thereof, without permit from the pro-
per officers or employees OF such rail-
road or train, shall be prima facie evil
dence that such person is tramp
This is very good of itself, but the
great trouble with the tramp nuisance
is that there are so many silly, senti-
mental people who listen to the
tramp's tale of woe. and believe every
word of it. Their poor noodles are
filled with the romantic ideas of the
ten-cent novel and they are ever on
the lookout to meet in life the idea
heroes whose acquaintance they have
made in their dearly beloved book. II
is to the credit of the tramps that they
have far more sense than these silly
pated fools.
So long as there are people to en-
courage tramps so long will there be
plenty of tramps to encourage. When
there are more laws like this Massa.
chusetts statute the tramps will grow
beautifully less.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS.

AT o'clock yesterday congress ad-
jeurned. It has not accomplished much,
being really afraid if it were to take
hold of vital issues with a determine
ton to settle them that its action might
initiate against the party in the ensu-
ing presidential campaign. 1t was
really anxious not TO make record.
The chief merit of the session has been
that it was a short one. but it is not by
any means the shortest long session ON
record. The Ninth congress met De-
cember 2, 1905, and adjourned April q,
1906. The Thirteenth congress met De-
cember 6. 1913, and adjourned April Is.
1914 The Fourteenth congress met
December 4. 1915, and adjourned April
30, 1876 The Fifteenth congress met
December 1. 1917, and adjourned April
20, 1918 The Seventeenth congress met
December 8. 1921, and adjourned May
S, 1922
Short long sessions were the rule in
the early part of the century, and it
was much better than dragging them
out to the almost interminable length
that they have been for the past
twenty-five years. The Fiftieth con-
gress holds the record in this respect,
having been at work for three hundred
and twenty-one days, from December s.
1887, TO October IS, 1888, passing in the
meantime 1,237 bills. Everyone will re-
joice that the present congress has not
tried to rival this record.

A FoRLoRN HOPE.
nent.


1t is an old and trite saying that
whom the gods would destroy they first
make mad The gods seem to have
been trying their hands on some of the
gold standard Democrats and their
organs. Having discussed half a hum
dred schemes for defeating free silver
at Chicago, all of which have been
shown to BE- futile, the two thirds rule
has been eagerly seized upon as the
last hope 1t, as ali the others have. is
destined 10 prove foriorn hope.
The Chicago Chronicle, generally
sound Democratic paper has been
completely blinded by long gazing at
and worship of the golden calf 1t
cannot see that the two-thirds rule
is but a rule. 1t declares that it does
not altogether derive its force and
constitutional authority from the fact
that it has been adopted by IA special
order in each Democratic convention
since the first that was held; that the
new resolution each four years was
merely in the nature of reaftirming a
fundamental rule OF the Democratic
party from its first organization under
Jackson; that il was like plank in the
platform Of any patriotic party each
year declaring anew It's loyalty to the
union and the government Then it
says the two-thirds rule does not re-
quire re-enactment each four years to
! renew its force: that it is the law OF the
or,fH
repeal; that it might perhaps be abro-
gated By sufficient notice not less than
/ four years, given at a national con-
vention for the action of the next con-
vention, and that a two-thirds vote
should be required for its repeal.
If the Democratic national conven-
ton wants to repeal the rule it VIII be
because the majority realize that they
! cannot nominate under it. Does any
one think that they will be fools
enough to consent to its abrogation by
a two-thirds vote? If it is decided
that the rule is not wanted, it will not
be reported for adoption; and the rules
reported only viii be adopted, as no one
can suppose that the committee on
rules will not be in harmony with the
majority.
After saying that the press dis
patches state that IAN alleged Demo-
GRAFT in Kansas" will lead a move
ment in the Democratic national con-
vention to abolish the two thirds rule
governing nominations, the Chronicle
| delivers itself in this hysterical style:
Such a proceeding would be revolu-
tionary and anarchistic in its charac-
ter The repeal of the two-tGhirds rule
would promote the dissolution of the
Democratic party. 1t would be a
radical bolt and departure from the
principles and usages of the Democracy
which would dissolve every tie of al.
legiance to the organization.
If this be so then the Chronicle
/ should prepare itself for revolution and
anarchy, for the chances are that the
rule will be- abolished If it stands in
the way of the nomination Of a free
silver Democrat

HOW MIR CLEVELAND WILL VOTE.

A Washington special to the New
York Herald says ii has been an
nouDced. on the authority of a member
of the cabinet. that President Cleve-
land would vote for Mckinley on a
sound-money platform rather than
support a free silver Democratic ticket.
The announcement naturally caused a
sensation in Washington. Some sound
money Democrats are said 70 depre-
cate talk of this kind in advance of
the Chicago convention. es it looks
like surrendering before the battle. and
that they (the sound-money Demo-
cratsl ought TO make a strenuous eff
fort to control their own party before
announcing their readiness TO go over
into the Republican camp.
We realize how bitterly hostile Presi-
dent Cleveland is TO silver. and we are
satisfied that he would go almost any
lengths TO defeaa IT, but we are I'M
willing to heljevr that he has said he
would vote for Mckinley on a sound
money platform rather than vote for d
free silver Democratic ticket The
only thing that ccaiid promp- him to
do such thing would be a feeling of
revenge, and strong IS are his likes
and dislikes he would scarcely go to
TINS extreme 1t is probably true that
Mr.. Cleveland looks upon a man who
believes in free silver as not capable of
being 3 Democrat Fie certainly re-
CARDS 9 Democrat who holds such
views as being = heretic.

Mr.. Cleveland has had much TO en-
bitter him, ID several Democratic
state conventions " here q tree silver

peared 10 spare no pains to ALLEVIATE

bittered against him: and ne has him.

An exchange says that the Demo
Gratis of Utah declare that the finan-
cial question is of paramount impor-
tance. and that they refuse TO consider
any other question until that is dis
posed of. Then 1t says that the Dem
ocrats of all other states evidently
take about the same view of the sub
ject. After this It declares that since
they have seen fit TO force the fight
ing on that issue they must take the
consequences This they are perfectly
willing To DO Moreover, they believe
that the consequences will be most
favora BILE to them. Our exchange says
that If anybody wants 10 know what
will be the outcome of Teller and free
silver in 1896 let him turn back 20 the
lesser idiocy of Greeley and reform in

we thought that Mr Teller would be

He IS a. Republican. and there are

What makes the tune flow

When your violin sings?
For us the woods soundless,
And senseless, and cod;
For you there's a boundless
Romance softly told
By the bow to the strings
When your violin sings.
1t has prisoned and captured
The rustling leaves within;
1t echoes the enraptured
Wild nightingale's hymn

When your violin sings.
Or. stay, did Apollo,
A-tuning his Tyre,
Give you hint how to follow
His passion born fire?
Divine grow the strings
When the violin sings.
And scorned by the muses.

Its tender refrain.
