M'KINLEY PROSPERITY.

The enraged workingmen of wilmers'-
paign portraits and denounced his ad-
vance agency rs a fake and his prosperity
as a fraud have no doubt learned bitter
lesson; but if their eyes and those of the
hundreds of thousands who now think as
they do, had been opened twelve months
earlier, they would not be grieving at the
folly which induced them to liste n to the
honeyed words of Republican orators,
and which led them to participate in the
pilgrimages to Canton. Instead of seeing
starvation stalking in the midst OF plenty,
and apathy and listlessness almost every.
where prevailing, they would by this time
have been earning good wages and been
walking arm.in-arm with happiness and
prosperity. However, they still have the
ballot, and that they will--use it to sweep
from power at the first opportunity the
party Of trusts and privileges Zig morally
certain. The people of the country as a
majority have ut last reached the conclu-
sion that the tariff as promoter of pros
perity is delusion and snare. They
know that the secret of.-all their miseries
is the demonstration of silver, and that
no substantial prosperity can come until
the white metal has been restored to it's
proper place in the money of the country
This they will accomplish by their votes
in 1900, and though it is long time to
wait, they Will be all the more deter
mined in the matter as the weary years
go by.

-Four hundred employees of the Westing

likeness was OH II banner signifying

their discharge, rushed to this room. Fol

.DURRANT WILL HANG JUNE IL.
Gov. Budd Makes This Announcement and

Sacramento, CAL, June Theodore
Durrant will hang on June II, one week
from next Friday. Gov. Budd has tee.
phoned that much in effect to Warden
Hale, OF the San Quentin, at the same
time ordering the death watch placed
upon the prisoner.

In the House of Representatives on

tatives, and that therefore the journal
could not be legally approved On account
of the general desire that there should
not be n long session on Memorial day,
Mr. Lewis coutented himself with merely
n formal protest.
The proposition advanced by Senator
Morgan is regarded seriously by Demo
Gratis. But for one thing it is probable
that the extra session would be interfered
with and would.end sensationally, as there
is n strong disposition in the Senate to
resent the course Of the House, and the
declaration of Mr.. Morgan has attracted
attention to it sharply.
There is II strong motive, however, for
not interfering with the passage of the
tariff bill. The opposition in Congress
hare adopted the policy of non-interfer-
ence With the passage o. this bill Ac-
cording to their vie Is OF .he situation the
test is to be made before the country as
to whether the tariff legislation will re-
lievc the business depression or whether
it will fail and free silver will have to he
tried. =,
So confident are they in their own theo
ries that the tariff has nothing to do with
the case that they are anxious that the
test should not he embarrassed by any
outside consideration, and that should
better times fail to come it could not be
offered as m excuse that the tariff lcgis-
lation was obstructed or interfered with
The view advanced by Mr.. Morgan
might be adopted ny IL majority of the
Senate, and they might refuse to legis-
late while the House is in it's present con-
dition, or they might adjourn, regarding
the session rs dissolved by the action of
the House.
But if they did this it would put an end
to tariff Legislation and prevent the test
being made which they, and presumably
every one in the country who agrees with
them or is in doubt on the subject, de-
sire. 1t is not likely, therefore, that Mr.
Morgan's proposition will be pressed
The Democrats will probably content
themselves with calling attention to the
situation, and--then let the future take
care of the question whether or not there
has been any violation ..of the constitu-
ton.

A Committees Suggestion to Prevent nm
Increase on Beer and Tobacco.
Washington, June 1.-The ways and
means committee of the House il still
smarting under the way in which the Re
publicans Of the Serate finance committee
hacked its tariff bill to pieces. 1t intends
to have revenge If it can. and with that
end in view an expert has been at work
figuring out the revenue that could be
raised from II one cent tax levied opon
toilet articles and on all the patent medi,
cine preparations put up in this country
He has found that the revenue that
could be raised from such tax will
amount to about $50, 600, 600 annually.
The ways and means committee will
discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of adding such an
amendment to the bill to take the place
of beer and tobacco tax inserted by the
Senate finance committee.
Some of the mem bers of tie ways and
means committee have come-to the con-
clusion that the bill rs they prepared it
would not raise the revenue they at first
thought, and argued that they could 70.
deem themselves and at the same time
hit the Senate sub.finance committee by
cutting out the revenue raising feature of
the amended bill and inserting in place of
II an amendment OF their own. They
also hold-that they can play the best kind
of politics by killing the tax, which is so
Objectionable to the Germans and the to-

From the large number of inquiries
now being received by the PostofIice De-

lief that Congress has authorized the
issue and use of private postal cards,
mailahle at / cent rate of postage. This
belief is unfounded. The department has
called the attention of .all postmasters to
this fact and has notified them that NO
law has been enacted on the subject,
so that private mailing cards, bearing
written messages, when dep ,sited in the
mails, are still subject to postage at the
letter rate.
