THEIR PLEDGES FULFILLED.
Republicans Garry Out Their Cam.
paign PrOmises.


The republicans of the lower house
of the Fifty-fifth congress have re-
deemed their pledges to the people as
promulgated in the national platform
adopted at st. Louis and Endorsed by
the nominee of that convention in his
letter of acceptance. That the bill re-
ceived the loyal and unwavering sup
port of every republican in the house
after a nine days consideration of the
important measure shows the ability of
the popular branch to correctly discern
the meaning of the verdict of November
3 and its disposition to quickly respond
TO the popular will.
That the bill also received the votes
of five southern democrats is signif-
cant of the change of southern senti-
ment on this question, and is a crafty
ing augury of the good time coming
when the protective policy will meet
with popular acceptance among thenew
leaders of the new south as the only
policy that can develop the vast re-
sources of that section of the union.
1t is true that the tariff question was
not the paramount issue in the recent
campaign, but it must be borne in mind
that it was put to the front in the con-
vention at st. Louis and formed the sub
ject of the first plank in the national
platform. This plank contained these
words:
1--WE demand such an equitable tariff on
foreign imports which come into competi-
tion with American products as will not
only furnish adequate revenue for the nee
essary expenses of the government, but
will protect American labor from degrade
ton to the wage level Of other lands. We
are not pledged to any particular SEIZED.
ules. The question of rates is a practical
question, to be governed by the corfitions
of the time and OF productions; the ruling
and uncompromising principle is the pro-
lection and development OF American Ia
Dor and industry. The country demands
a right settlement and then 1t wants rest"
AS this plank occupied first position
in the platform, and the nominee, who
Endorsed the platform, was elected by
magnificent popular majority, it is
eminently fitting that it should be dis
posed Of promptly and expeditiously by
the Fifty-fifth congress before any
other measures of legislation are con-
sideEed. The spirit and purpose of
this plank have been embodied in the
Dingley bill by men who have made a
study of the tariff question and who
have brought to bear upon it the light
of much experience with wide llnowl-
sdge of treasury needs and of present
industrial conditions.
Before the senators take up the Ding
ley bill the last sentence of the ST.
Louis tariff plank should be emblazoned
ir large letters on the walls of the SEN
ate chamber: 1.-THE country demands
right settlement and then it wants
rest"
Behind that sentence is the voice Of
the people. Will the senate heed it,

Efforts tn MtsIend.

Deceiving comparisons will not lead
the people TO forget that there is an alb
solute need to-day for a larger revenue
than was required under the McKin-
ley act, not only because the country
has grown in population and in the de
mands upon it's public service during
four years, but because the democratic
administration has fastened upon the
country a new debt of over $262 900, 900,
raising the annual interest charge
over half, or $12,127,1S4. The postal
service has been enlarged within the
last four years by laws which Pres
dent Cleveland has signed, and the ma
val service and many branches of pub
lie business have been 10y law rendered
more costly. In order TO provide for
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment and for the democratic increase
of interest, the country requires n
larger revenue than il required when
President Cleveland was elected.-N.

THE TARIFF BILLS PASSAGE.
Through the House and I'm the Hands
Of the Senate.

The passage of the tariff bill in the
house puts that measure through the
first stage of its career, under promis-
ing conditions. 1t has secured an early
start, and if the senate shows AN idea of
the Importance of speed in dealing with
the bill it may reach the president long
before the close of the fiscal year on
June 30. Even the enemies of the bill
ought TO realize the necessity of putting
it on the statute book without I'M
reasonable delay. They are aware, or
should be, that they cannot defeat it.
Although the republicans have not "a
clear majority in the senate, enough
votes of former republicans and of
democrats are virtually promised for
the bill to secure its passage. AS
everybody knows, the business uncer-
tainty cannot end and the industrial
revival begin until the tariff changes
are made, and therefore a policy of
wanton obstruction would be sure to
arouse the popular wrath against the
bills enemies.
Nobody supposes the measure will
have its present shape in all respects
when it gets through the senate. That
body is always apt to assert it's indie
pendence and it's powers in the matter
of tariff legislation. When, in 1894,
the democrats controlled both branches
OF congress, the senate amended the
Wilson tariff bill in ga places, and in
sisted oil its changes with such vigor
and pertinacity that. after n deadlock
of many weeks, it forced the house to
accept them, although the house was
backed by the president. Of course,
no conflict like that is looked for at the
present time. The republicans of the
senate, who lack only one or two votes
of having a majority of that body, ear
bestly desire to make the bill as accept
able as possible to the country, and
such changes as they may create in
the measure will be due to an honest
purpose to improve the bill when they
think improvement is needed.
1t appears TO be the intention of the
house TO do nothing further in the
present session except what may be
rendered necessary by the possiblemod-
ifcations of the tariff bill in the senate.
The house will go through the form of
remaining in session, and its abstention
from further work will probably have
the effect of hulTying action in the
other branch. The sole purpose of the
session was to pass a bill to furnish
more revenue for the government and
additional protection for such indus
tries as need il, and by refusing TO do
any further work the house can make
this design plain to the senate. Pre-
dictions as to the senate's course on
anything are ordinarily hazardous, but
il seems safe to assume that that body
will in this eXigency show an intelli-
gent appreciation of the popular de
sire. There is a fair probability that
President Mckinley will place his sig
nature to the Dingley tariff some time
in May or in early June.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

CROP OUTLOOK.
Neither Grain Nor Fruit Suffered
Much During the winter.

Lansing, April 0. = According to the
official crop report, the weather during
the winter was not especially unfavor-
able, and, while in individual fields and
localities wheat may have been more
or less damaged, there has been no gem
eral or severe winter-killing through
out the state. The average condition in
the state April l was 81; one year ago
il was Sc; in 1895, IS, and in 1894, 90.
The average condition of clover mead
ows and pastures is 90. Live stock is in
good condition, the average ranging
from 95 to 0s per cent. The outlook
for apples seems to be favorable. Cor
respondents, however, are of the opin-
ion that the heavy crop of last year is
likely to be followed by light one this
year. Peach buds have been generally
and severely injured. Other fruits
promise well.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
A Faithful Reflex Of the Wishes of
the People.

Whether it be greatly amended by the
senate or whether it become law in
nearly the form in which it has left
the house, the character Of the vote by
which the Dingley bill was passed by
the representatives of the people, and
the quickness with which it was trans
ferred to the consideration of the SEN
ate, must be accepted as evidence of the
imperative desire of the nation that tar
ifs shall be increased, and that they
shall be increased quickly. The senate
will not be held guiltless if it needlessly
prolong the period of deficit and in
dustrial stagnation.
So strong is the demand for tariff re-
form in the direction of protection that
five democrats, from southern districts,
too, and one populist joined with thesol-
idly republican majority in the house
in approval of it. When a considerable
number of southern representatives
vote for protective tariff it is safe TO
say that the schoolmaster Experience
has been abroad, and that he has had
many scholars. Almost equally indica-
tive of the trend of national opinion is
that 81 populists and fusionists,
gentlemen with one simple rule of ac-
ton, "be agin the government" were
so considerate Of the day in which they
again shall meet their constituents as
to refrain from voting against the bill.
Some amendments may be necessary;
but, unless all signs shall fail, the peo-
pie will not patiently bear protracted
discussion or radical reconstruction of
the measure. In the main. the Dingley
bill is a faithful reflex of the desire and
qualification of the need of the people,
who will not bear patiently protracted
discussion or factious opposition by the
senate.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

son, aged about 20 years, heard few
days ago that his mother, who died
when he was boy, had been abused by
his father, who is living with his sec

in Tyron township. Saturday he pur-
chased butcher knife and sharpened
it to razor edge. Early Sunday morn

out of the story was true. The man was
in bed, but when the son asked him to
step outside to talk over family mat
ters, he arose and was putting on his
clothing when the son stabbed him
twice in the left side. The son is in jail
and the man will probably die.
