THE POLITICIAN.

At last the Democrats acknowledge
that the present tariff law will not pro
vide sufficient revenue to meet tht
needs of the government. The ac
acknowledgement was openly made thi:
week in both House and Senate, anG
really amounts to putting in plea oi
guilty of inefficiency for the Democrat.
ic party. Yet they still pretend tc
think that the people can be bambooz.
led into giving the Democratic party
an opportunity to put the country still
deeper into the hole, when the Repub-
lican party with it's unbroken record
of good management of the govern
ment's business and prosperity for all
classes of our citizens stands ready to
again take charge and put stop to the
increase in the public debt, which has
been so great under the Cleyeland ad.
ministration.
When Republicans charged that Sec.
retary Carlisle was Withholding appro-
priations made by Congress and refus-
ing to pay claims against the govern
ment upon the himsiest excuses Demo
Gratis denied both charges. Now comes
Senator German with statement fully
substantiating both charges and say
ing that Secretary Carlisle was obliged
to resort to such methods because of
lack of money.
Senator Squire's billu appropriating
$500, 900 for the erection of an eques-
trian statue of Gen. Grant, upon gov
ernment land in the city of Washing
ton, was this week favorably reported
to the Senate, and Senator Squire hopes
to get it passed before Congress ad-
journs. He thinks it shame that
Congress has not long ago provided for
a Grant statue, and has done his part
towards getting one by introducing a
similar bill to the present one in sever
al Congresses, but circumstances of
one sort or another have prevented any
of them becoming laws.
Senator Sherman tripped up Senator
German very nicely this week. Mr..
Gorman had just made aspeech dealing
with the enormous and alarming des
felt in government revenues-his total
was sS9s, 900, ,OO0-and concluded by
throwing few boquets to himself for
having lessened the deficit some by
preventing the original Wilson tariff
bill from becoming law, and declar-
ing that he was prepared to vote for
any measure that would add $50, 900, 900
a year to the revenues. Senator Sher-
man promptly challenged that declara-
tion by stating that the House had
passed non-partisan revenue tariff
bill, which would have added $50, ,00O.-
600 q year to the revenues. and that Mr..
German had led the solid Democratic
opposition to it in the Senate. The
only answer Mr.. German could make
was that the bill was McKinleyism.
He then tried 70 make point by ask.

The result of the Illinois Republican
state convention was not surprising to
anyone in Washington who had been
in position to get an unprejudiced
statement of the sentiment of the par
ty in that state, but the declaration of
the Republican State Convention of
Vermont for Mckinley, was SO great a
surprise that it created sensation
among Republicans in Congress. What
caused the surprise was that the Yer
mont Republicans had never instruct
ed for any candidate before, not even
when it was known that the name of
Hon. George F. Edmunds, then Sena-
tor, was to be presented to national
convention, and that Speaker Reeds
friends had not even asked that he be
endorsed by the convention. S.
