WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.

There appears 10 be a mistake somewhere
among the statesmen at Washington who are
diligently engaged in talking this country 70
death There is a general impression among
common folks who took part in the last Pres
idential election that the meaning Of It was
quite plain; that the verdict was unambigu-
Gus, and that the purpose Of the ma orty was
expressed In terms so definite and clear that It
could not be misunderstood Mr. Mckinley was
nominated because his connection with the tar
if Of 1890 made him the most conspicuous ex-
ponent of the principle Of Protection embodied
in that measure The canvass preliminary to
the Republican nomination conducted al
most solely upon that issue, and the result
turned upon it, And whatever other questions
entered into the campaign later, even though
they seemed in the changed conditions following
the Populst capture of the Democratic party to
be predominant, the fact remained patent and
incontrOvertible that the overriding desire Of
the American people was for redemption from
the universal distress consequent upon the inita-
ton of the Democratic experiment of Free Trade
and return to the Protective policy under
which the Nation had prOspered. 1t was YER

thing more. That we had already. 1t meant

THE FINAL RUSH.

Not satisfied with tanning through various
measures Of the first importance while there
was time enough for thorough examination and
debate, the Legislature is now in its closing
hours rushing into the Governors hands all
sorts of measures which nobody can know any
thing about except their particular promoters.
OF course this is the usual thing, but 1t is dis
creditable and a costly thing nevertheless The
Constitution and the rules of procedure are
meant to reduce the evil TO minimum, but even
in their latest and most stringent forms they
seem to have little effect. After the adjourn
ment of every Legislature the question invaria-
bly, arises How many jobs We're carried through
in the final rush? The answer, which is await
ed with much anxiety by people in every walk
of life, including members Of the Legislature
themselves, can never he promptly given. No
body knows. Differpr estimates Of the rec
ord are made by men, - correspondents and
others, and in the course of a few days it is
possible to get some idea of the general quality
of the legislative output. But there are almost
always some tardy discoveries 10 cause aston
ishment long after the session has ended, and
rot infrequently an announcement of the Gov
ernor's action on some bill left in his hands is
the first news of It's existence.
That the Legislature which Is now on the
verge Of dissolution has done great deal Of
work that is notorious as well bad is al
ready matter Of record. How much of the
careless. clandestne sort it has done or will
do in the last hours we may not know for weeks
to come. But the spectacle of eager and disOr-
derby activity now on exhibition is well calcu-
lated to cause alarm Nothing is more certain
than that the people do not like and do not de-
serve to be treated in this way, and we urge
every conscientious, prudent, upright member
to use whatever means the rules of procedure
give him TO block the passage Of upstart bills
which the majority evidently do not compre-
bend A bill which has TO be taken on faith
at this stage IS bill which ought not to be
taken at all.

Mr.. Covin compmented the members OF the as

simple desire for credit. Dlsrict-Attorney Olcott
said that while the work of most Of his hearers was
to prevent commercial frauds bis own was to cure
those frauds when they occurred. and that under the
present law his office often found Il matter Of the
greatest difficulty to obtain punishment for CONNER
cial defrauders and this was III a great measure
owing TO the feeling Of the average jury for the
often rich merchants or corporations which excited
the envy OF jurymen. This result was partly the
fault OF the class OF men they (his hrarers) repre-
sented who did all they could to get excused from
fury duty James c. Cannon, T. r. Boocock, w. A.
Prendergast and j. j. McKelyey also spoke.
