EXTRA SEES SION CERTAIN.

1t can no longer be doubted that there
will be an extraordinary session Of con
gress next spring for the express pur-
pose of protective and revenue tariff leg
| islation.
The general talk of the Dingley tariff
bill and its passage at the coming short
session of congress has not met with the
favor of the Republican leaders. The
Dingley tariff bill would be at best
temporary in its effects and would sup
ply, as was its sole purpose, merely rev.
enue. Its passage this winter would
help wipe out the immense deficit when
the Democrats have succeeded in piling
up on the nation, but it would not in
any item carry out the Republican
promise Of protection 10 American in
dustries and labor And the passage OF
the Dingley tariff bill would carry over
the plan of a protective tariff bill more
than another year.
The plan Of the Republican leaders is
the best The people expect a fulfill
ment of the Republican promise Of bet
ter times, coincident with the elevation
of Republican TO the presidency. He is
not all-powerful, but he has the power
TO call congress into extra session. Ma
jor Mckinley will certainly not devote
the first nine months of his administra-
ton wholly TO doing out offices. He
was elected for business and upon TAX
ing his seat he will turn the steam into
the engine and arrange the pulleys so
that all the machinery Of the govern
ment viii start almist simultaneously.
He will call congress into extraordinary
session for the one matter of passing a
law for sufficient revenue, and with it
will be coupled the protective features
for which the Republican party has so
long been champion.
The one possible stumbling block is
the senate, but the necessity of tariff
legislation will be such that obstruction
will not be a manly or pardonabie par
game.
The country has spoken decisively for
the change of government proposed by
the Republicans. The party's Oppon-
ents are willing to give it a fair trial. |
The Republican party will begin at
once.
This is the one proper course to be
pursued, and there is no question now
but that IL will he followed

GERMAMY's JUST REVOLT.

The fifty million people Of Germany
feel that they have been insulted. Their
emperor has announced in brutal
manner that his soldiers coats must not
be dishonored, and advises officers to
finish civilians who insulted them thor
Oughly." All last week the question OF
whether Germany was to submit longer
to the despotism Of military doodleism
excited the members of the reichstag
and the people at large,
The whole affair arises from the muir
der of a civilian by an officer in a res
taurant, the civilian having rubbed
against the murderer's coat. The Of
ficer was tried and sentenced to imprls-
onment and dishonorable discharge.
Neither sentence will be carried out.
The emperor sanctions the deed.
But Germany does not sanction ii and
means to have an understanding. There
must no longer be one law for the civil
ian and another law for the officer. The
man in the black coat must have some
rights the man in coat of braid must
respect Such utterances as this from
the last number of the Prussian Annual
is stirring the people beyond all patience
That publication said:
"An officer wears a uniform which so
distinguishes him that when he is insult
ed the whole officers corps is insulted
with him. He also carries a weapon.
By virtue Of this weapon he is in posi-
ton TO demand and obtain on the spot
the satisfaction which civilian may
not get except from a court. II the Of
ficer does not use his weapon his absten-
ton may be due to self-control. He lays
himself open, however, to the suspicion
that he abstains from lack Of courage"
That is very plain language, but no
palmer than Williams. But the young
emperor should pause and reflect A
rude military has led to many revolu-
ton. And while no revolution is posi-
BILE in Germany, at this time. military
brutality may prove a stepping-stone.

NO MORE ELECTIONS.

| Many Endorsements are pouring in on
the Republican delegation of congress
men from Indiana for their innovation
in regard to postmasters and the ap-
pointment thereof.
The members-elect Of the state Of In
diana have agreed that every applicant
for a postoffice must submit his claims
TO the patrons of that ofice;that an cleo
ton must be held, and the man who
gets the most votes shall have the rec
ommendation Of his congressman for
the place. This doesn't mean that he
will get the place by any means, for the
United States senators have powerful
influence in the appointment Of post
masters in their states, and the Indiana
senators have not agreed and will prob
ably not agree to any such agreement.
But the Indiana congressman are go
ing right ahead with their plan and cleo
tons are to be held all over Indiana to
discover who shall be postmasters.
At first blush this plan appears to be
all right. There could only be slight OBJ
jections to making the postoffice an
elective office. But this is not what is
proposed. In his anxiety to relieve him.
self from making choice between
equal friends the congressman proposes
to do what? To saddle another election
on the people. The people have cleo
tons enough. They have them every
fall and every spring. They now de-
mand a rest. If between the spring and
fall elections or between the fall and
spring elections there is to be every four
years sandwiched postmaster election
the people will die Of fatigue.
And the postmaster election means
more factions and more corrupt primar-
les and more general ill-feeling in every
community as sure as the sun rises. The
gang in control will get the postofice II
the election is run as the average pri-
mary is and if it is to be thrown open to
all parties with candidates Of all politi-
cal faith, then it were best TO 60 about
the reform regularly, making the post
master elective and have his election
take place regularly at the same time
with the spring elections and with due
regard to law.
The people are certainly in no humor
to be subjected to a midwinter or mid
summer election. We have enough of
them now, heaven knows!
