bryan AND BAILEY.

CONGRESSMAN Sayden, OF Texas Is au-
thority for the statement that Mr. Bryan
is as strong in Texas today az when he
carried the state by 9j0ooo majority, and
he insists that there the selection OF Mr.
Bailey as the Democratic choice Tor
Speaker could not possibly be understood
as a mark Of antagonism to Mr.. Bryan.
So he. and Democratic congressman
generally. boot ut the idea that our mem
bcrs Of the House have sat down upon
Bryan's hopes Of denomination IN 1900.
If Mr. Bailey displays a decided genius
for leadership. he may succeed Mr.. Reed
when the Democrats come into power, As
we hope TO see them DO next year And
It may be that he VIII then become promi-
nent as presidential aspirant--but that's
looking far into the future. At present
what we need g. quickwittod. lons-
headed man to lead our forces upon the

we have no sort of objection to urge

can secure. But we must say that our
largest items of expense neither a legis-
Iature nor a convention would reduce.

nuaq report Of Auditor Marye, the in

sum OF s714.1G5. This sum could only be

EFFECT OF THE TARIFF.

Tho New York Herald has interviewed
= number of representative men as TO the
effect OF the passage of the new tarih
bin upon the cost of living, and reaches
the conclusion that the effect will be to
increase the cost OF many necessaries OF
life 10 almost every class. In support of
this conclusion, the Herald summarizes
some of the facts set forth and argu-
ments used by the men interviewed as
follows:
Manufactured articles. like clothing
for example. will be dearel; so viii glass
pottery, umbrellas spectacles, lacss
knives and groceries of a certain kind.
Moreover, the Industries act and react
ON one another. and, therefore, 1t is safe
10 assume that living generally, with all
that the word living implies, will cost
more.
The man who builds house must
pay more for his lumber, for his iron
and steel, for his glass plaster OF Pans
CLAWS. and earthenware. 1t does not
stand 10 reason that he will cell or rent
his house at the old price. Consequently
rents will be increased. The man or NO
man who rents a store must charge more
for his or her commodities. whether
OftHSIdktlf (dilOif VI SAONNAF N''N ~
meet that increase he Will demand more
OF the consumer"
But the Herald did not stop here. 1t
also secured series of interviews on the
question whether the new tariff will con-
duce to an increase of wages and sala-
Yles on this point the conclusion 1t ar
rives at Is no more encouraging than
that touching the first proposition. The
conclusion is that any increase OF wages
Will have TO be sturdily fought for ana
if obtained will be inconsiderable
Former Congressman Straus, Demo
crat, who voted FOR Mckinley, was one
Of the men interviewed, and made
statement regarding woollen goods espe-
clally. in which he said:
''In my judgment the woollen schedule
will advance every article that the poor
man needs from y TO 80 per cent, ana
then with the extra rate on wool, the

wKINLEY's MESSAGE.

President Mckinley sent to Congress
Yesterday. his first message. Coming so
soon after his inaugural address, 1t was
not to be expected that it would deal
latitudinously with current questions.
hence few will be disappointed to find it
confined almost exclusively to matters of
revenue.
But though its chief purpose is alleged
10 be to arouse Congress to the necessity
of providing more revenue, the President
takes occasion to express his wish that
the pensions shall be liberal. He Is not
satisfied with a liberalness which foots
up Sl40.OOOO00 per annum. The pensioners
want more and we know that the Presi-
dent thinks they ought TO have it. To
allow this and make up the deficits in
our annual revenues, Mr.. Mckinley
urges the prompt passage of high
tariff bill. Such a measure, he thinks,
would fiji the Treasury and relieve the
stringency Of the times.
The message is brief and chiefly statis-
teal. About the only part OF it that we
care TO endorse is that which suggests
prompt action. Yes; let us have that by
all means.
OF course. the tariff bill should be pro-
perly discussed but we trust that there
will be none of that tiresome and useless
speech-making which characterized the
massage of the Wilson-Gorman bill and
disguised the country with the Senate.
The proposed tariff bill was made pub
lie yesterday. 1t was framed by the
WAYS and Means Committee Of the last
House. And it is understood that the
personnel of that committee will be UNI
changed in this Congress. OF course, the
committee will go through the form OF
considering the bill anew, but we dare
say that few changes will be made in 1t,
except where they are demanded by
leading Republicans or leading protected
manufacturers.
Upon the whole, it appears that the
proposed duties are not quite so high
as were those in the Mckinley bill, but
the system is the same We observe that
a sop Is given to certain agricul-
turists. but it is ineonsequential The
millions OF growers Of cotton, wheat,
corn. and tobacco in the future. as in the
past. will have to buy their supplies
in protected markets. while they must sell
their produce in markets where compe-
tition is free-where they must compete
with the products Of such cheap-labor
countries as India, South America, and
Egypt.
Such is McKinleyism; such the policy
that some Democrats last year helped
the Republicans 10 fasten upon our
people. 1t IS a policy that proposes to
make the masses prosperous by making
their taxes higher!

It is foolish to take poor health ''philo-
sophcally" these spring days. There is
no reason why any one should sit hands
in lap and submit to headaches, poor
appetite, continual tired feeling, or con-
stpation. If every disheartened invalid
will go right at getting well by using
Paine's celery compound. that person will
be astonished and delighted with the
quickness with which this wonderful
remedy is able to call a halt to wasting
diseases, diseases Of debility, and a run
down" condition.
Paine's celery compound does wonders
in making people well.
Here is what a woman. an ambitious
and Woodworking member of the legal
profession i'm New York city, says of
this great remedy:

While she slept her sleep of death.
Thou hast dared and thou hast done;
Faced the Shape whose dragon breath
Fouls the splendor Of the sun.
Thine TO show the world the way,
Thine the only deed to-day.
Thou. in this thy starry hours,
Sittest thrOned all thrones above,
Thou art more than pOmp and power,
Thou art liberty and love.
Doubts and fears in dust be trod;
On, thou mandatory of Cod
Who are these would bind thy hands?
Knaves and dastards. none beside.
All the Just in all the lands
Hail thee blest and sanctihed-
Curst, who would thy triumph mar,
BE he Kaiser, be he Car.
Breathing hatred plotting strife,
Rending beauty, blasting JOY,
IOathsome round the tree OF life
Coils the Worm we would destroy.
Whose smites yon Thing Abhorred,

Not so sick but she hath still
Strength to torture, spoil ana STAY!
O than ere this hour be past,
She were prone in death at last!
Kings, like lackeys, at her call
Raise her. lest in mre she reel.
ONLY through her final fall
Comes the hope Of human veal.
Slowly. by such deeds as thine,
Breaks afar the light divine.
Not since first thy Wine-dark wave
Laughed in mutitudinOus mirth.
Hath deed more pure and brave
Flushed the wintry cheek OF Earth.
There is heard no melody
Like thy footsteps on the sea.
Fiercely sweet as stormy springs,
Mighty hopes are blowing wide;
Passionate prefigurings
OF world revivified.
Dawning thoughts that ere they set
Shall possess the ages yet.
OH that she were with thee ranged,
Who for all her faults, can stil,
In her heart of hearts unchanged,
Feel the old heroic thrill;
She. my land, my loved, mine oWn.-
Yet thou art not left alone.
All the Powers that soon or late
Gain for Man some sacred goal,
Are co-partners in thy fate,
Are companions of thy soul.
Unto thee all Earth shall bow;
These are Heaven, and these are thou.
