Facts of an Important Situation.

The Mugwumps and Mugwump Demo-
Gratis who last November suppressed their
animosities to the Republican party and
s~ullenly supported 1t, are now venting their
hate upon the Mckinley Administration,
as It appears positively in the Tariff
bill and negatively in It's failure to adopt
their plan for greenback abolition. They
pretend that they Joined the Mckinley
forces in 1896 on the assurance that no
serious effort for protection would follow
Republican success, and that their scheme
for currency reform should be begun. In
giving side by side the tariff and currency
planks of the Republicans and the tariff
and currency planks Of the indianapolis
Convention, wherein the present critics OF
the Administration formally declared their
own principles, we offer a little logic suit
able to the occasion:

The Republican and National Democratic
platforms agreed only upon the mainte-
nance of the gold standard. h Republi-
can platform was distinguished from that
of the National Democrats by its refusalto
approve a revenue tariff and to substitute
bank currency for greenbacks. When
any would-be supporter of the indianapolis
nominees concluded to vote for MCKINLEY
as the only possible salvation of honest
money, it was clear that he put aside as
secondary his attachment to q revenue tariff
and to currency reform by banks.
We make this comparison of platforms,
not with the thought of silencing the criti-
cism referred to, but as a due presentation
of the proprieties Of the situation as it con-
Germs the Mckinley Administration.

Important Bill Introduced in the
Pennsylvania Legislature.
Harrisburg, Pa, June 1S.-A bill, said
to have for its object the consolidation
OF the armor plate works of the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies, and which has
already passed the senate, is now in
committee in the house awaiting action.
1t was introduced by Mr.. SprOul, of Della
ware. although it is said he knows little
about it. The bill In full, emitting the
title. is as follows:
That all corporations of this common
wealth actually engagedin the manufaCtuT-
ing business within this common wealth
and authorized by their charters 50 10 do
and which shall have now accepted or DO
hereafter accept the provisions OF the CON

has called a council OF war. which will be
held in day or two, when he will disclose
his plans TO his Officers.
The probable attitude OF the United
States Government with regard to Cuba
is causing the Spanish authorities here at
the present moment more anxiety than
the operations of the insurgents. Every
item of news from Washington is eagerly
looked for and, needless TO say, freely criti-
cised. The report of the special COM
mission on the Ruiz case is harshly COM
mented upon here. The Diari De La
Marina yesterday published a bitter at
tack from correspondent upon Gen. Lee.
