The Journal is reluctant to believe the
statement which appears in some papers. to
the effect that the President has decided to
let the monetary commission matter go
over till next winter because of the hostile
attitude of the silver senators on the ques-
ton. Such action his part would look
like subordinating party pledges and pub
lie duty to political expedience or conven-
fence. The only way for the President to
keep the implied pledges of the party and
satisfy the sound-money sentiment of the
country is to come out squarely at this
session of Congress with message urging
the necessity of currency reform and rec
ommending the appointment of a commits
sion. If he does that he will have done
his part toward putting the Republican
party in a right position on the money
question, and further responsibility, will be
placed where it belongs The President
should not fail to perform his duty because
Congress or one branch of 1t may not CO.
operate with him. If he fails to recon-

AN ISSUE SETTLED.

The failure of the senatorial advocates of
free trade to present a solid front is cause
of surprise and comment. Throughout the
country unity of action was expected. Be
cause it was expected many believed that
the Republicans would not be able to pass
tariff bill upon which they could agree
If the Democrats and those who acted with
them in, passing the present tariff could
have stood together it would have been
impossible to have made much change in
the tariff. Probably before the first vote
was taken the Democrats knew that they
could not present a solid front, so that
while the vote was a surprise to the coun-
try, it was not a surprise to the Democratic
senators and their Populistic allies. With
scarcely tie in the Senate, the Republic
ans have had no less than three majority
on any schedule or paragraph so far, and
so little hostility has been developed to the
bill that there can be little doubt that it will
have fair majority on it's final passage.
After all, the weakening of the Democrats
in the Senate has been preceded by weak
ening on the part of a large number of
men who have been Democrats. Three
years of deficit and depression have con-
WINGED many thousands of Democrats that
the Cleveland tariff and revenue policy is
a failure and that it is every way better to
settle down to practical policy which will
afford sufficient revenue. That is, the ma
jority of people desire that Congress shall
pass a tariff which, in it's essential features,
will stand for years. This fact several
Democratic senator's have learned from
their constituents, and others have found
that it will not avail to right the protec-
tive tariff bill.
The tariff-reform clubs will banquet, the
tariff-refoFm editor will denounce protec-
ton now and then, but the people have had
all of this that they want. Consequently,
the tariff issue will be settled when the
pending bill shall be matured and passed.

Shriver and Edwards Not Guilty of
COntempt of the SENATE

ShriVer and Edwards Not Guilty of
Contempt of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-John S. Shri-
yer, the correspondent of the New York
Mail and Express, and E. j. Edwards, cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press, were
to-day declared not guilty of contempt in
refusing to answer questions of the Senate
committee in relation to the Sugar Trust
investigation. Mr.. Shriver was the fourth
Of the alleged recalcitrant witnesses
Messrs. Havemeyer and SearIes president
and secretary of the American Sugar Re-
filming Company, had been discharged while
Broker ElVerton Chapman was convicted
and served one month in jail Judge Brad
ley based his decision in the Shriver case
on two points, first, that the witnesses had
that the question asked him was not perth
nent The contention of the defense that
communications to newspaper men are
privileged as a class, the same as commu-
nications to priests, lawyers and physi-
Clans the court refused to sustain, but as
the court did, on the other hand hold that
to ask the witness the name of his inform
sci for defense now hold that a precedent
is established which virtually brings news
paper witnesses within the privileged class.
The jury, under orders from the court,
this afternoon brought in verdict of not
guilty in the case of e. j. Edwards, New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press. The ground was that Edwards
never had been legally summoned. Dis
trict Attorney Davis gave notice that he
would call up the cases of Brokers Me-
Cartney and Seymour, the last of the
recalcitrant witnesses, on Monday next.

Secretary Sherman has thought it worth
against him of inconsistency regarding the
proposed annexation of Hawaii. They are
based on the following passage from his
memoirs, published a few months ago:
The events of the future are beyond the
vision of mankind, but | hope that our
people will be content with internal growth
and avoid the complications of foreign ac-
QUESTIONS. Our family of States is already
large enough to create embarrassment IN
dependent provinces or possessions. | Will
do all / can to add to the strength and
prosperity of the United States but nothing
to extend it's limits or to add new dangers
by acquisition of foreign territory.
1t is charged that the part which Mr..
Sherman has taken in the annexation move
ment, making a favorable report on the
subject to the President and signing the
treaty on behalf of the United States, is
entirely inconsistent with these views
Strictly speaking, that is true, but the pass
age quoted states a general case which
circumstances might alter 1t is always
somewhat dangerous for a public man to
commit himself unreservedly by such decla-
rations, but a man who has the courage of
his convictions should not be afraid to mod
ify or change them to suit emergencies.
"A foolish consistency" says Emerson, is
the hobgobln of little minds, adored by
little statesmen and philosophers and di-
vines" A wise consistency adjusts itself
to circumstances. Secretary Sherman's ex-
PLANTATION of his apparent change of view
in this case is that as a rule he is opposed
to the United States acquiring outlying
territory, but that he regards the annexa-
ton of Hawaiia as exceptional on account
of the attitude of Japan toward the islands.
That is tenable ground.

failed, and today with stock ON grass

A prominent western official and writ
er says he never uses the word drought.
am not afraid to use it, came here
expecting it and have not been disap-
pointed. Instead Of trying to change
weather and climate the effort has been
to adapt myself to them. a drought is
not blessing by any means; neither is
it all evil. With all of our drought last
year We had sorghum hay that grew
much larger than We wanted it, the
fault being ours in sowing it too thin.
Here arc our work and plans for this
year: Common sorghum--or what in
the north is often called cane or at ono
time Chinese sugar cane - has been
sown at intervals from the last of
March to the middle of April at the
rate of one hushel per acre, cut in with
the disk harrow, there having been no
previous blowing, then smoothed down
with tho common harrow. This will be
ready to cut for first crop July /, and
from the stubble will grow another crop
ready to cut Sept. Is. This will have II
little grain upon it, but is largely hay
crop.
For grain the various forms of Kafiir
corn, etc, are planted from April usu-
ally until May 20, though last year we
planted as late as July Il. This will be
cultivated and cut same as corn for both
grain and fodder, and our FIVE years ex-
perience has shown 1t TO bo more profit
able for us than corn, and we believe, in
connection with stock raising, success
with the average sections of other states
can be achieved. of course wheat is our
leading crop.

\ Texas correspondent of Home and
Farm writes about sorghum as follows:
Begin feeding to hogs as soon as headed
out. Cut only what will make one feed
or meal and give them entire stalk-fod-
der, stalk, seed. One planting will fur
nish food for several weeks, but to have
it last as long as possible there should
be several paintings two or three weeks
apart. 1t should be sowed near hog lot,
so as to be handy to cut and throw in
the lot every day. Sow in drills, like
cotton.
Hogs get fat on sorghum and very
little corn. II the people knew its value
they would plant more, For horses and
cattle it should be sowed broadcast.
Break land, SOW two bushels seed to
acre. NOV and rake the hay. 1t makes
more to the acre than anything perhaps
you can sow, and there is no better feed
for both horses and cattle. 1t often
makes two crops year.
