It might be supposed from the con-
certed Yelping from the Democratic
free traders at the now completed tar
iff bill, that they are rally surprised to
find that Chairman Dingley and his
Republican associates have made pro-
lection bill, just as the country Last
November directed the Republican
party to do. They are pretending tnat
they expected the rates of duty in the
new bill to be much lower than they
are. The new bill is a Republican
measure from beginning to end, in
tended to supply the S50,00O,0O6 an
nual deficit in the Government re-
ceipts, and at the same time to give
idle American working men profitable
employment by restoring the American |
market, the best in the whole world,
to our wn manufacturers and produc-
ers from whom it was taken largely
and presented to foreigners by the tar
iff enacted by Democrats. Whether
The tariff bill will become law in its
present shape is matter beyond tell
ing, but it is bill that every Republi-
can will gladly vote for just as it stands
and no material changes are likely to
be male before it passes the House. If
changes are made in the Senate, it will
be because they are necessary to get
votes needed to pass it, and not be-
cause of any Republican objection to
It. President Mckinley would gladly
'ign the bill just as it is and have his
administration stand or fall upon its

President McKinley's rule requiring
the Congressional delegations to unite
in recommending men for office, while
disappointing to few individuals, is
ON the whole a good one, and one that

pre-eminently good. The decision ON

A scandal of large proportions may
be shown up in connection with the
acts of Judge Lamoreux, Mr.. Cleve-
lands Commissioner of the U. S. Land
Office, in what is known as the Chicago
Lake front case. Ex-Secretary Car
Isle, who is now the attorney of the
parties whom Lamoreux tried to favor
maybe mixed up in the scandal, as it is
limited that he was interested in the
case while a member of Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet. Lamoreux rendered his
resignation and left Washington several
days before the close of the Cleveland
administration, but his resignation
has not been accepted and present in
dications are that it will not be, but
that he will be dismissed. Some very
valuable Chicago real estate is involved
in this case.

was no opposition in the Republican
caucus to the denomination of Mr..
Reed or of any of the other officers of
the House in the last Congress. 1t was
in the cases of afi-of them, except Mr..
Reed, simply one good term deserving
another, while in his case it was two
good terms, although not consecutive
ones, deserving another. Republicans
are naturally proud of big Tom Reed
and his record as Speaker. He has had
to face some very difficult and intri-
cate parliamentary situations, but he
has never even in single instance failed
to force from them credit for himself
and for the Republican party. Although
a partisan of partisans upon all purely
political questions, no Speaker has
ever had more, and few as many, warm
friends among his political op-
ponents. In starting in upon this ex-
ira session of Congress, the country |
and the party is TO be congratulated |
that the work of the House will be di-
rected by so experienced a parliament
,arian as Mr.. Reed.
