WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1897.

The Republican members OF the
Senate Finance Committee have COM
pleted the work amending the Dingley
tariff bill, and unless the Democratic
members of the committee cause some
unnecessary delay the bill will be re-
ported to the Senate this week. The
bill has not been made public, but it is
known that it has been amended in
nearly every schedule, and that as a
rule the amendments provide for
slightly lowering the duties from those
in the original bill, although in some
cases they are raised. The bill is still
a distinctly Republican protective meas
ure, just as everybody knew it would
be, but whether, on the whole, it is
an improvement upon the original bill
is, of course, largely matter of per-
sonal opinion. The average Repub-
lican only asks for tariff that will pro-
tect all American industries and prod
ducts alike, and it is not disposed to
haggle over the precise rate of duty to
be imposed on any particular article or
articles. 1t is claimed by the Senators
who have framed these amendments
that they are intended to increase the
revenues of the government without
any sacrifice of the principle of protec-
ton.
IF President Mckinley had never
until within the last ten days thought
of annulling some of the extensions of
the civil service rules made by Mr..
Cleveland, the facts brought out dur
ing that time would have started him
to thinking about it. Testimony taken
by the Senate committee that is inves-
tigating this subject has already made
it plain that the whole thing was ma
nipulated to the advantage of demo-
Gratis and the disadvantage of republi-
cans, and entirely regardless of the best
interests of the public service. AT the
last meeting of this committee letters
were read from Postmaster General
Gary and from Secretary Long, in favor
of changing, and Public Printer Palmer
fred this broadside: GAS applied to
this Office Government Printing Office)
which is simply great manufacturing
plant, involving varied branches of
skilled labor of high grade, the civil
service rules are, in my judgment, an
obstruction rather than aid to efficiency
and economy. In my opinion the
civil service rules as promulgated for
enforcement here should be modified
radically, suspended, or repealed"
Hon. N. B. Scott, the West Virginia
member of the Republican National
Committee, who has been rendered
the position of Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue, says that he doesn't want
the place and will not take it unless the
extension of the civil service rules to
collectors and guagers is rescinded.

A Tip for Greece.

And became Calypso's star boarder;

Loose?

May the First is Moving Day.
And what in Hellas
Ia the matter with moving the Moslems
On that occasion?
While the Turk lies dreaming
In his guarded tent of
Greece her knees
In suppliance bent,
Then's the time to trot out
A bunch of Nymphs,
Or an Aphrodite.

All you like, only
Turn the Sorceress loose
With power to act,
While Zeus
Plays second hand low
From his rez-de-chaussee
On Olympus, and Neptune
Rolls a wave over 'em
From Alpha to Epsilon

And the frogs of Aristophanes

With the close of the presidential
campaign, THE TRIBUNE recog-
nizes the fact that the American peo-
pie are now anxious to give their at

To meet this condition politics will
have far less space and prominence,
until another State or National oc.
casion demands renewal of the fight
for the principles for which THE

ton to the present day, and won it's

AN UNSAFE ADMINISTRATION.

Mckinley hath spoken. He said
"The holding of the Union Pacific rail:
road by the Government is Impractical
and unsafe" There you have him at
his word. The government under his
and Hanna'e manipulation is impracti-
cal and unsafe. --Nonconformist. i.
McKinley's objection would
certainly hold good were the
present gang of incompetents
and corrupt nfanipulators to
remain in power. What hurts
him is that he knows that
when government ownership
becomes general, as it will very
shortly after the Union Pacific
passes under the management
of Uncle Sam, the business in
terests will not any longer toll
crate the bung1ing pretensions
to craftsmanship now exhibited
by him and Mark. An expert

of the profession of politics.

That ought to end the inter-

A year has been wasted in
chasing this ignis fatuus, and
a gold bug administration en-

The announcement that De-
troit walters are forming an
exchange for the purpose OF
facilitating the employment OF
their members, reminds us
that labor exchange of that
character is badly needed in
Duluth. The state of Minnesota
is too stalwartly conservative
for the establishment of a state
labor bureau, as is en- joyed by
the workingmen of such pro
gressive states as Ohio and
Colorado, but if good times
ever do come again here, we
ought to be able to devise such
a convenience for the working
people of this city on our own

Joseph Dworschak died from

interment was in Forest Hill
Cemetery. The members OF
his union turned out in a body
to escort the remains to Their
