1T is strange how dead Mr.. Dingley
and the other Republican leaders are to
the significance of contemporary facts.
At the very juncture when the supreme
court of the United States has struck an
astonishing and shattering blow to the
organization of business on the plan of
conspiracies to prevent competition, we
see the newly restored party putting all
its power at the service of the trusts, and
devoting its energies openly to the franz
ing of scheme of taxation which is OBJ
viously and notoriously based on the
undemocratic and nefarious principle of
public taxation for private profit. The
party apparently without the slightest
consciousness of what it is really about,
is sentencing the protective system to
death and committing suicide. The
people are swiftly coming by evolution
to the point where they will determine
whether they are to rule the trusts or
permit the trusts to rule them, and the
Republican party in congress is going
ahead in the sight of all men doing its
best to strengthen and arm the trusts for
the battle with the people.

THERE is some belief, says the Harris
burg Patriot, and not altogether with
out plausibility, that the war which has
just broken out between Greece and
Turkey is the beginning of the war be-
tween cross and crescent. There is a
greater belief that such a war is inevit-
able.
1t is not altogether unlikely. And
when such a war shall come il will be
practically impossible to determine who
will have been the aggressors, who most
responsible for the resultant bloodshed.
At present the war is not between cross
and crescent but between two neighbors
who were never cordial in their rela-
tions but always quarreling with or with
out pretext. Turks and Greeks are
fighters and have been always, and
almost any excuse for a ruction between
them has been usually satisfactory.
If any universal policy of war spring
from the present fightingit will not be
one of destruction to cross or crescent
but the overthrow of governments which
are inimical 10 human liberty. Turkey,
with her position, a veritable inter
loper in Europe, with her policies of
individual repression and bloodshed,
daily violated all the tenets of liberty
which her neighbors held sacred, and is
the first to feel their resentment
Others will follow in their turn and all
the autocratic governments may make
final stand against the spread of freer
government, but the result is fore-or-
dained. The struggle, however, will not
be immediate, but will probably spread
over the greater part of the next cent
ury.
The only likely immediate effect of
the present war, upon other powers,
may be the embodiment of certain
European states. German officers are
known to be aiding the Turks. This
will naturally arouse Indignation and
perhaps induce the sending of other
Europeans to help Greece-and there is
a satisfactory beginning. The powers
m ust stop the fight or go into it. But
it will probably not be cross against
crescent for awhile

IN one year under the Mckinley tariff
we imported 100000 pounds of
foreign wool. In one year under the
Wilson bill we imported zoo, 900, 900
pounds. That is, under free wool in
the total wool supply the American wool
growers had 46 per cent of foreign COM
petition, and under the Mckinley law
35.7 per cent of foreign competition,
only 1913 per cent less than under the
Wilson law. This means that one
third of our wooden factories depend
on fCreiga wool, and would be shut
down if the policy of the Ohio shep-
herds prevailed and prohibitory duties
be established on wool that we do not
grow or even want to grow, that is, low
grade carpet woods.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The presence
on the floor Of the senate of the MEM
bers of the Republican sub committee
of the senate finance committee, which
is engaged in preparing the tariff bill,
was made the basis of much specula-
ton. The members of the committee
were closeted for a time with Senator
Vest of the Democratic side of the
finance committee, and afterward held
individual conferences with other sena-
tors on both sides of the chamber.
1t was generally supposed that the
committee had reached point from
which the end of its arduous work
could be dlscerned, and that prepara-
ton was being made for a full meeting
of the committee. This did not prove
to be exactly true, but the visit was
made for the purpose of smoothing the
way for the final work. The commit
tee is approaching the end of its laDors
and various senators, who are making
persistent demands for changes, were
called upon with a view to arriving at
an understanding.
Among the problems which are yet
unsettled are those relating TO sugar,
lead ore and wool. Some senators have
manifested a disposition to hold out
persistently for certain notifications OF
the schedules referring to these and
other articles. The members OF the
committee, while not indicating their
own position or that of the committee,
have thought 1t well to talk over these
matters with the complaining senators.
They are anxious to bring IN a bill that
will command the united support OF
the Republican party and that Will be
sure to become a law,
They think they will succeed, but
beyond this they said little, except that
they expect to report the bill TO the full
committee some time next week. The
committee say that none of the changes
will be announced until all are given to
the public.
Members of the committee told their
colleagues that many reductions have
been made from beginning to end OF
the bill, because of the belief on the
part of the committee that some of the
house rates would be prohibitive. They
have listened patiently TO advocates of
increases, but have granted few of the
requests. One of the members said
that the bill would be a revenue bill
and not a prohibitive bill. The COM
mittee practically has agreed upon a
modification of the retroactive clause
of the Dingley bill, which 1t is hoped.
will be satisfactory TO the opponents or
the house provision.
The wool men are still pressing for
radical changes. The woolgrowers are
not satisfied with the rates of the Man
tie amendment, but want a complete
change of classification, and still insist
that no woods shall be admitted for less
than cents pound. While some
changes are probable in this schedule,
il is quite certain that these demands
will not be entirely met.

The Pittsburg Miners.

Pittsburg, April 19.-To-day's session
of the legislative committee appointed
to investigate the condition of the
miners in this district was devoted to
hearing the operators. w. p. DeArmit,
President of the New York < Cleveland
Gas 4 Coal Company, was on the stand
all morning. He said the miners are
getting fifty-four cents per ton and were
paid for all coal mined. As regards
wages, the miner, he said, was getting
more than his share. AS an illustration
the company, on a $4,000 invest
ment, had profit of less than one per
cent. last year.

THE war news caused great excitement

The war news caused great excitement
in the cities among the speculators in
bonds, stocks and wheat. Prices went
up and down and some lost or won for
tunes. The lamentations were rapid.
Advices from England showed an ad-
vance of 6 cents per bushel at Liver
pool. May wheat closed at rs cents,
but some was bought at IS cents, for
both May and July.

a beautiful animal, spirited, but well
broken and trained. The horse showed
no i'll effects from his trip. President
Mckinley took his first ride astride his

A SCENE IN LONDON.

Picturesque Description OF Trafalgar
square by the Artist, c. ID. Gibson.
The bewildering scene always reminds
me Of the art student once saw paint
ing it from the steps of the gallery, and
thought then that if the actors on the
great stage in front Of her could have
seen the hopeless condition of her can
vas and her pale, worried face they
might have stood still for awhile. But
the panorama has never stopped, and
the only quiet figures in Trafalgar
square are its bronze statues There you
will see country boys looking with ad-
miring envy at the smart uniforms of
the soldiers and with terror at the dingy
army Of sandwich men shutting through
the gutter, carrying advertisements Of
hot and cold lunchoons Turkish baths,
manicure parlors and places Of amuse-
ment, serving at the same time as awful
examples of what viii happen to all
those who do not take the sergeant's adj
vice and become soldiers
Even some Of the street beggars are
familiar. The "old rat man" and his
pets find Brighton too dull in the winter
and come up TO London for the season,
to mix once more in its streets, where
all kinds Of horses are driven by as
great variety of men, from the ped
dler to the powdered wigged coachman.
Gable cars and trolleys would be sadly
out of place in London, and horseless
carriages would be a calamity There
should be 10 need to go faster than a
horse can trot and the best way of all
is TO walk, for then you can enjoy shop
windows and look into the faces of the
passersby and speculate on who they
are. You can go at your own speed and
cross the street as often as you wish, OF
stand ON a bridge while scows drift
slowly under you and the embankment,
with all its lights, and ST. Paul's in
the distance sink into the smoke and
darkness like the dissolving views CT q
