There seems to be a possibility that the
Democratic party may experience another
split on the word only" 1t is little
word but a very small obstruction in deli
cately adjusted machinery may cause Sc
rious difficulty. The Democratic party is
having rough time with the silver ques-
ton just now, and is likely to have for
some time to come. If it should run against
another snag it would hardly be able to
stand the jolt.
The new prospective trouble grows out
of the omission of the word only from the
tariff resolution in the Chicago platform.
The platform of 1892 denounced protection as
"a fraud" and declared it to be "a fundamen-
tai principle Of the Democratic party that
the federal government has no constitu-
tional power to impose and collect tariff
duties, except for the purpose of revenue
only" This was the first time that form
of expression had been used in a national
platform, and it committed the party to an
extreme position on the tariff question.
Former platforms had left the door open
for some incidental protection, but that of
1892 honestly construed and applied, ex-
cluded all protection. On this platform
Grover Cleveland was elected, and, because
the Wilson-Gorman bill did not conform to
the tariff for revenue only declaration in
the platform, he characterized it as "a mea-
sure of perfidy and dishonor" The plat
form of 1896 said: I'VE hold that tariff du-
ties should be levied for the purpose of
revenue, such duties to be so adjusted as
to operate equally throughout the country
and not discriminate against class or sec
ton" This declaration omits the word
"only," thereby abandoning the position of
1892 and returning to the less extreme po-
sition of former platforms. 1t was virtually
a retreat from position which the trainers
of the platform, or the trainers of the tar
if resolution, whoever they were, consid-
cred too advanced This elimination of the
word only" has already caused some sharp
discussions among leaders of the
Democratic party and is likely to
cause more. Some of them APP
prove the retreat, while others do not.
Some are in favor of leaving the door open
for incidental protection, while others in
sist on going as far as possible in the di-
rection of free trade. 1t looks now as if
there would be fight in the next Demo-
cratic national convention over "only." The
anything else, because the Democratic par
ty is now in the hands of a receiver and
is not likely to get out for many years to
come. So far as principles are concerned
it is a "Reminiscences only"

POLITICAL BUSHWHACKER

Ex-Representative Towne, who has be-
come one of those strolling performers in
the silver-mine combination since he was
defeated in Minnesota last November, has
written a letter to the so-called silver Re
publicans of Ohio advising them to give
their cordial support to the ticket NOM
mated by Boss Mclean as the only course
they can pursue to help the cause of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. Mr..
Towne is correct, and his advice should be
needed. Men who are no longer Repub-
leans should honestly attach themselves to
the party with which they are in league.
Any man calling himself a Republican
should vote the Republican ticket and thus
support the party principles, which are
clear and explicit. No man should call him.
self Republican who voted for Mr.. Bryan
last fall, because Mr.. Bryan as a man has
always fought the Republican party and
its principles. If he had been in the present
Congress he would have voted against the
tariff bill upon which the Republicans were
united. No man who makes the free and
unlimited coinage of silver the alpha and
omega of his political faith should call him
selve a Republican. He has no right to
do so; besides, it is not honest. The man
possessing average intelligence who calls
himself silver Republican is a trickster
If not knave in politics
Mr.. Towne should take the advice he is
giving the so-called silver Republicans in
Ohio to himself. He is the head of an or
ganization calling itself the silver Repub-
lican party. He never intends to vote the
Republican ticket again. He is not in SYM
pathy with that organization. Indeed,
when he and his fellow-stragglers met in
Chicago one of them declared that their
first purpose is to annihilate the Republican
party That confession betrays their
animus They put themselves in the obi
Gus attitude of men who desert army,
taking with them the uniforms in order
that, while appearing in the garb of those
loyal to the cause for which the army is
fighting, they may treacherously assail it.
In the late war such men were called BUSH
wackers. Let Mr. Towne and his associates
cast off their disguises,~enter the camp of
the enemy. and enlist under its banner and
take its name, or make another which ex-

No invention in recent years has been
more surprising than that of the machine
glass blower now being perfected for a
manufacturing firm in Muncie. From the
infancy of the glass industry, almost from
time immemorial glass blowers have been
regarded in a peculiar sense as skilled
workmen. Their work has been regarded
as difficult and delicate, and they have
commanded exceptionally high wages. Now
all this is to be changed by a machine
which it is said, will do the work as we'll
or better than the human blower, while
one machine will do the work of three
blowers at less than half the cost. Such an
invention as that cannot fail to have an
important effect on the glass industry. Its
first effect will probably be to throw out
of employment a considerable number of
skilled workmen, but the industry will soon
adjust itself to the change and eventually
all classes will be benefited by the inven-
ton,

The court says very truly that "the Fed
eral Constitution applies to the citizens of
the United States as SUCH and not to them
as citizens of the several States" Congress
has exclusive control to regulate commerce
between the States or citizens thereof, and
when a State undertakes to do so it not
only usurps an exclusive power Of Con-
gress but it abridges the rights of citizens
of the United States living in another State.
A State has certain police powers, but they
do not include the right to interfere with
interstate traffic or abridge the rights of
citizens of the United States In this re-
gard the Federal Constitution recognizes no
distinction between convicts and other citi-
zens, still less any distinction between
goods and wares made by convicts and
those made by other citizens. This view is
sound and unanswerable. The decision is
in line with many others in recent years
overthrowing State laws interfering
with interstate commerce or with the
rights privileges and immunities of the
citizens of other States State Legislatures
should have learned by this time that such
laws win not stand

A SMOOTH, GENTLE PLEA
WESTERN UNION EVIDENTLY TIRED
OF ITS STATE TAXATION FIGHT.
OF Course 1t Is Paying Too Much in
the Way of Taxes, as Figures
Will Show.

S. o. Pickens appeared before the State
Board of Tax Commissioners yesterday in
behalf of the Western Union Telegraph
COMPANY He said he did not come to talk
theories or taxation. He took it for granted
that the board knew fully as much on that
point as he. The members had been study
ing the subject six years, and had had not
a little litigation with the company he rep
resented to settle some disputed points. He
was heartily glad this was over and the
Ratchet buried. He believed the Indiana
tax law right in principle, the best. in fact,
he knew Of but under it the board was in
clined to take a little more than the fair
share of the State at times. There had
been some misrepresentation the year before
about his statement that the net earnings
of the company upon all business that the
Indiana lines had anything to do with
amounted to $4,000. This included not only
the business of Indiana, but the interstate
business that went over the lines. There
was nothing surprising about the fact The
operating expenses of the company
amounted to 70 per cent of the gross re-
cepts, leaving 80 per cent. net receipts
Superintendent Wallick had a district that
did not include all of Indiana, but which,
the other hand, extended outside of In
diana and covered 1857 miles of poles, while
in Indiana the company has $3.50 miles of
poles The gross receipts of Mr.. Wallick's
district last year were $372, 765, and 80 per
cent. of this would make the net receipts
$111S29 Upon basis of per cent. he con-
tended that the property ought to be val
ued at $1S63,S 25, whereas it is assessed at
81. 4O3, 030 or $3.50 a mile. Mr. Pickens showed
that the assessment of the company in
Ohio where there is more business done
over the wires, is $255 a mile.
George Lyford representing the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois road pleaded for a small
er assessment upon the Indiana coal road
and the Indiana Block Coal Company road,
both owned by his company. They are as
sessed at 49, 600 a mile. He declared that
railroads were cheaper now than they were,
and in order to prove it told of purchase
his company had made a few months ago
of road in Illinois one hundred miles long
and we'll equipped for 81 100000 cash. Then
it had contracted for twenty-five miles more
at 49, 500 mile, including bridge that cost
about $4,000.
George Ford, of South Bend. talked in
behalf of the divers OF that city, who have
two miles of track in their factory yards,
Incorporated as a railroad. 1t is assessed
at $4,000, and Mr.. Ford thought it ought
ito be about $500, and talked a long time
to impress the board with his way of think
ftarr
