THE THEORY OF 1T.

The theory of the Dingley-Hanna tariff
bill is that the chief products of a con-
stituency represented by a Republican
senator are entitled to protection, while
those Of a constituency represented by a
Democrat are entitled TO none. 1t is a
grab game. pure and simple"
Hanna and his crowd have taken ex-
tremely good care of themselves and
the trusts and monopolies, and for so
doing they think the people ought to be
thankful
Such rascally work can't stand. In due
time it will be knocked into smithereens
by the votes Of the indignant and OUT
ragged people.
All that we have to be thankful TO the
Republican party for is that it has made
fairly quick work with the bill. Soon,
we suppose, it will become law. 1t will
certainly handicap business very much
indeed, but our advice 10 our people is
to make the best of IT. Other communi-
they can out of the law while II stands,
and why should not we do likewise?
We insist upon II that it is a sectional
unfair, irrational. and irritating bill, but
we can't afford to sit down and denounce
il while other people are engaged in get
ting all possible profit out of it. So let's
put our energies 10 work TO reap what
ever advantages may be possible for US
under the hill II there's any grist i'm IL

THURSDAY............JULY 8, 1897
PASSED TIE SENATE.

The country has much to be thankful
for The Dinrley tariff bill passed the
Senate yesterday in It's amended form.
The vote was ayes, SS; nays, ga ma
5ority Of 10. Many members were absent
md paired Off.
Now the bill goes TO the House for con-
currence in the numerous amendments
of the Senate. That Speaker Reed will
cause prompt action to be had is ex-
pected.
Quite possibly the House will be will
ing to agree to some Of the Senate's
amendments; but others 1t is quite GER
tain to disapprove of. This being noto-
riousiy the case, the quickest way to get
the bill before conference committee
would be for the House TO non-concur
in all of the amendments and ask for
q committee Of conference forthwith.
Whether it will adopt this or some
other course, we do not know ana cannot
guess. 1t is for the House-we beg par
don't is for Mr. Reed TO say.
At any rate, the end of the tariff dis
cussion seems nigh Soon the bill win
become law. And so the country will
begin to breathe easier. A gradual i'm
provement in business may now be hoped
for, despite this hateful measure.

A Constant Menace.

To the Editor of the Dispatch
1t was only matter Of chance that a
lady of Manchester was not killed Dy q
vicious COW few days ago. The same
danger constantly confronts the ladies'
and children Of Richmond, and 10 iar
greater degree. Almost daily, and On
Saturdays and Sundays, the two days OF
the week when most people are upon our
streets drove after drove OF cattle Is
driven along, usually with one or TWO
small boys as attendants, whose only
care seems not 10 let any OF them get
back" Each drove is strung out from a
half block to block, and In almost
every drove can be found cattle when
the farmers have sold because they are
dangerous" That the COW mentioned
was what is called a city cow only
accentuates the risks we run from those
who have never felt the restraining hand
of man before being herded and brought
here.
| recall the acts of a vicious brute near
Twentieth and Broad some time ago, and
many other cases have come to my no.
tice which have only created neighbor-
hood sensations.
Before it Is too late-before some wo-
man or child has lost it's life from the
anger of these brutes-our Council should
take steps 10 stop this nuisance. They
need have no fear Of driving business
from the city. As long as our people will
eat meat cattle will be brought here.
There is no city the size OF Richmond
but that has taken steps to abate this
provincial nuisance. We have enough
already to make us feel ashamed before
strangers without having a drove or
cattle or hogs come along about the
time we have explained the other nui-
sances.
There are several practicable solutions
of this problem. the best of which are
either to require the railroads to care
for the stock until night or TO require
the stockmen 10 remove their yards along
the line of some raiload.
l hope that when our Council again
meets it will take action upon this mat
ter. OBSEkN Eis'

CHASING AK IGNIs FATUus.

In noticing the other day the COM
ments of the Providence Or. H. Journal
lRepublican) upon the action of the ONO
Democrats in Incorporating in their plat
form the free-silver declaration of the
Chicago convention, we said that our
Providence contemporary read the signs
OF the times Alright. In It's issue Of Tues
day the journal returns to the subject
and accentuates the correctness of our
statement. After calling attention to the
fact that the Palmer and Buckner, or
sound-money, Democrats expressed in the
last campaign great confidence that the
future existence of the Democratic party
would be continued through them, and
that the free-silver Democrats would raj
" to the support Of the Indianapolis con-
tingent when they had suffered defeat
under Bryan, our contemporary says:
"Well, year has passed and the call
IS again going forth in several States for
the lining up Of voters in other cam
paigns. But the confident expectations
Of the sound-money Democrats have not
been realized"
The Journal next declares that there Is
no lHulCdtlOl III oiiy HOoAANi tidN
renee to the free-silver doctrine is less
strong than 1t was last year among the
Democrats who control the party organi-
zation in all the States. but that Indeed
II seems stronger and adds:
"And why should II not be? The Demo-
Gratis did not come TO grief through their
experiment with free-silver ticket ana
platform last year. They secured the
support of very large proportion of the
voters of the country--a larger proper
tion, perhaps, than they could have Sc
cured on the record of the second Cleve-
land administration or what they had
done in Congress for tariff reform"
Our Providence contemporary therefore
argues that the faction OF the ohio
Democrats in reiteratlng the Chicago
platform is likely to be followed in all
states where campaigns are TO be fought
this fall" and then. addressing itself TO
the question, What is to become of the
sound-money Democrats, says:
'"The more natural thing for the sound
money Democrats TO do would be 10 so
over Ia body TO the Republican party,
as so many OF them did temporarily in
hast years campaign. But here arises
the QltIttblly tHdt ivy t0i4iOt 0NNtpN thN

II there Is anything In logic the Jour
nal proves that the most unnatural thing
Tor sound-money Democrats to do would
be TO 30 over TO the Republican party.
The difficulties IL mentions. and many
others that could be named, render such
IN alliance an unnatural and an unhoIy

In Georgia IL is thought that much of
the criminal expense that is laid upon
the taxpayers is due TO the over-readl-
ness of the Justices Of the Peace to issue
warrants for people charged with trifiing
offences. The Fulton county grand jury,
which made its report last week, had
all the justices before it during its term,
and reprimanded them severely for the
manner in which they had conducted
their offices. There was a strong dis
position TO indict some Of them. The
grand jury recommended that the jus
tees be paid salaries.
The Savannah News says, that there
are great abuses in justices courts, par
ticularly in the cities, there is no doubt.
The fees which are exacted in trivial
cases, and, in fact, in nearly all cases,
are a very heavy burden upon those
who are litigants in these courts, it
says. 1.-The ltigants are, as a rule. poor
people. Their only means are their
small earnings A weeks wages is not
sufficient sometimes to pay a Justices
charge for drawing peace or appear
ance bond"
The News further says:
"In Savannah and Atlanta hun
dreds of cases originate in the
justices courts of which no notice
should be taken by the justices. or which
should be dismissed as being too trivial
TO occupy the attention of the courts.
They are dismissed by the grand juries,
but there are costs connected with them
which the taxpayers have to pay
ANY plan for lettering the justices
courts that would tend to keep out of
these courts trivial quarrels and assaults
would be a great benefit TO that class
of people whose first thought is to take
out a warrant for those against whom
they happen to have a little grievance,
but it Is doubtful if the salary plan
would be satisfactory to either the JUS
tees or the public. The justices who
do the bulk of the business of the JUS
tees courts would object TO 1t, because
under it, they would not receive as much
as they do now, and the people would
object to IL because Of the extra bur-
den il would place on county treasures
Some means, however ought to be
adopted to correct the very grave abuses
which exist i'm the justices courts. and ii
is not improbable that the Legislature,
at its next session, will. in response
to public sentiment, give the subject
careful consideration"
In Virginia, as in Georgia, there are
too many warrants issued and too many
indictments by the grand juries. In some
counties OF Virginia the justices would
have as much right morally, to repri-
mand the grand jures as the grand juries
would have to reprimand the justices.
Both are often in fault. But we regret
to say we do not know where to seek
remedy

Nature knows no such principle as a
direct halt. Everything is either going
forward or backward. We are eternally
gaining or losing ground. Action and re-
action are inevitable. On the whole the
world is rapidly increasing in knowledge
and prosperity. Each generation has the
benefit of all the knowledge which is be-
hind il. The greatest victory over pro-
gress, science, and truth in the nine
teenth century has been made by the
gold monometallists. 1t is with reluct-
ance that / am compelled TO give them
the credit for aisplendd use of the mate
rails at their command. They have inter-
posed barrier TO human progress which
Is well-nigh Uncomfortable. Ii does in
finite credit TO the brains at the head OF
the conspiracy. And they have done 1t
in the teeth of law and order and the
plainest principles of political economy.
The election OF Grover Cleveland by
Wall-street capitalists and the repeal OF
the Sherman bill was a greater achieve
