Congressman Dalzell embodied the
voice Of tine people the other day when
he said on the floor of the house "The
country does not want defamation, it
wants action. Words are poor substi
tutss for men who want work. Oratory
will not open single mill or kindle a
single furnace fire." But the popocrats
in the senate give notice that they pro
pose to keep up their fire Of blatherskite
on the Dingley tariff until the middle of
July, il not longer. What the country
wants is revenue to pay its expenses
and protection for home industries.
What it is going to get for the next three
or four months apparently is an enor-
nous issue Of free silver and free trade
wind. Flatulence, fog and fummery,

Comrade William Mckinley proposes
to trust the American people as they
should be trusted, says the National
Tribune. Twenty of the twsnty-four
policemen who have been protecting
the sacred person of Grover /, at the
White House will be ordered back to
their beats. Only four will be retained
for duty. two b. day and two by night,
as during the Harrison administration.
Fort Thurber will also be evacuated and
abandoned. Fort Thurber is the sentry
box which the late private secretary to
the president erected outside the portico
Of the White House for the accommoda.
tion of his police guard. All the other
unusual precautions which he made for
the protection Of President Cleveland
against enemies from without will be
abandoned. President Mckinley has
no fear for his safety. Said Thurber
one day: Nobody will ever know the
extent Of my efforts to protect President
Cleveland, unless he should be assassin.
ated." Most Of the precautions were
ridiculous, but President Cleveland al
ways seemed to have an apprehension
that he might die by violence.

As the smoke Of the great senatorial
battle clears away, the true situation
develops, and Senator Kyle shines
forth as an honest patriot. Republicans
saw that it was impossible for them to
elect q republican and that a populist
was bound to win and they determined
the choice should be clean. able man.
They sounded the leading candidates
and found that all except Kyle were
willing to sacrifice every principle.
Kyle maintained his position on the
money question but was willing to give
the republicans an opportunity to prove
the correctness Of their theory and
would not be an obstructionist. Be-
lieving him to be an honest man they
decided to throw their votes to him
The populists have demonstrated them
selYes to be incompetent and incapable
Of meeting the emergency and have
only themselves to blame. The re-
ports that Kyle held out ase untrue.
He can be depended on to represent
the best interests of the state.-Milbank
Review. (pop).

sibly says; Senator Kyle did not at
tend the populst caucus at Washington.
Instead Of being criticised he ought to
be commended for this. He is open TO
criticism for having ever taken part In

PRINTING BIDS REJECTED
Commissioners Decide to Give Dis

j. Frank JcKenna, of New York, the
Lowest Bidder, Threatens TO
Go to the President.

The Commissioners today again rejected
all printing bids and decided to readver'
tise. When TIE hoard met this morning
a special committee from Columbia Typo
graphical Union, No. 1O1, waited upon
them to protest against bids being awarded
to out-of--fown parties.
They had hardl Y left the board room when
Mr.. j. Frank McKenna, of New York city,
representing the Metropolitan Printing Com
pany, of that city, called upon the Commits
sioners to protest against the contract
being awarded to any concern but his own
He claimed that as the lowest bidder his
company was justly entitled to the CON
tract, and he told the Commissioners that
he had been advised by the officials mt
the Department of Justice to lay the mat
ter before the President OF the United
States if the contract was not awarded TO
his company.
When this was said the Commissioners de-
cided to reject all bids and Teadvcrtise for
new proposals. Mr.. McKenna submitted IA
number of specimens of the work turned out
by hts concern. but Commissioner Wight
told him 1t was not So much the quality Of
the work as il was the Inconvenience and
risk in transit when the delinquent tax-list
was published each year. There was a
probability of the proofs being lost in the
transmission. and other serious obstacles TO
be encountered If the contract were let to
parties outside the city.
Mr.. Mchenna secuted the idea ofany risk
and concluded by threatening to carry tEe
matter to the President. He said he had
no remedy in the courts to prevent the
letting of the contract, and his only re-
course was the President The Comniis-
siOners have been anxious to award the
contract TO local parties, and even went SO
far as to interTogate the attorney for the
District as to their right to award the
contract for the delinquent tax list TO a
District bidder, whose hid was somewhat
in excess OF the outside people. The at
torney fer the District decided that they
could not do this and as a last resort they
have decided to allow the District bidders
