Senator McEnery, of Louisiana, has
recently made n statement in regard tC
the attitude he will occupy toward re
publican legislation. Judge McEuery
has simply declared that, as Il United
States senator, ne will not allow par
tisanship TO control his course, especial
ly at this time, when all the interests
of all the people depend on the prompt
restoration of prosperity,
lie sees. as all must see, that unless
the republicans make haste to carry out
their pledges there is small hope for the
prompt return of prosperity. He sees,
too, that if the democrats allow parti-
sanship 10 control their actions, part
of the responsibility that the repuh-
leans have assumed will fall on the
shoulders of the minority. He thinks
that, so far from obstructing legisla-
ton, the democrats should aid in carry
ing il out rs far as they can decently
90 so, TO the end that the republican
theories may he put TO n practical test.
This ought to be the party policy of
the democrats. IL is safe. il is sound,
il is reasonable. 1t is based on COM
mon sense. The people have decided
at the polls that they are willing for
prosperity 10 be restored according to
the republican plan, and although the
decision is reached by very narrow
majority, considering all the circum-
stances, it should be respected by all
the parties. II the republicans can
bring back prosperity by increasing
tariff taxes, let them do so. These
taxes will be n very small price TO pay
for prosperity. If, however. the tariff
fails to bring prosperity, the demo-
Gratis will not be responsible for the
failure. and the people will have learned
a dearly bought lesson in economies.
We sincerely trust, however, that the
republicans will he able to restore pros
perity; that Mr. Mckinley will find
no difficulty in opening the mills to
labor and in starting the wheels of in
dustry. We should hail and indorse
prosperity, no matter from what direc-
ton il may come, nor by what methods
it is brought. We shall not'inquire into
it's politics, nor LOOK so fine gift horse
in the mouth. The people are perfectly
willing To surrender their dearest theo-
ries in regard TO finance and the tariff
in order to see the people of the whole
country enjoying once more the sub
stantial benefits of prosperity. But
prosperity must De the price of sur
render.

that there shall be no>delay in the mat

The city requires among other things
that refuse be removed to the suburbs

where they are lifted off the truck and
put on fiat car by means of travel

Sherman,s Record.

The democratic newspapers which
are calling Sherman ''wobbler" would
keep quiet about him if they knew his
record as well as they think they know
it, Sherman, from the senate COM
mittee on finance, did more than any
other man to push the resumption bill
through congress, and as head of the
treasury he put that measure into oper-
alton when it became law. Some active
work was required to rush that bill
through. 1t was passed in the short
session of congress, on the eve of the
democratic entrance into control of the
house in 1875. If the bill had failed in
that session resumption would have
been postponed for years, for the demo-
Gratis opposed it, and when they got in
10 power tried to repeal the law, but
were foiled by the republicans. John
Sherman anchored the country's cur
rency to the gold basis so firmly in 1879
that it has stuck there ever since, de-
spite the treasury gold raids. In crisis
the distinguished Ohioan is very solid
and safe official, whether in the legisla-
tive or the administrative field. = st.

UThe selection of Lyman J. Gage
to be secretary of the treasury will
give general satisfaction to the coun-
try. To the people of the west no other
banker is so well known, and to those
OF the United States at large none is
better known. For many years past
he has been a recognized authority on
monetary issues. No man in the coun-
try, it is safe to say, has better knowl-
edge of the entire finance question in
its broader aspects. The useful service
