An Equitable Test,

An explanation has at last been
vouchsafed of the curious attitude of
the Democratic and Populist elements
in the senate membership toward the
pending tariff bill. These old-time op-
pcnents of protection have not been
suddenly divorced from their free trade
idols, by any means. Neither is their
unexpected abstenton from desperate
resistance to the Dngley bill the
prompting of an unselfish patriotism
which, taking note of the suffering of
the country, is moved by a paramount
sense of duty'to desist from,mere par
tisanship in order to speed the tender
of legislative relief. The real milk in
the cocoanut is thus indicated in the
Washington Star:
According to their view OF the stu
alton the test is to be made before the
country as to whether tariff legislation
will relieve the business depression or
whether It will fail and free silver will
have to be tried. So confident are they
in their own theories that the tariff has
nothing to do with the case that they
are anxious that the test should not
he embarrassed by any outside consid-
Grafton, and that should better times
fail to come it could not be offered as
an excuse that the tariff legislation
was obstructed or interfered with"
We fancy that Republicans as q rule
will welcome such a test. 1t is, of
course, hardly to be expected that even
tnIa OF
revenue and also plenty of protection,
will achieve the impossible by trans
forming Unprecedented depression into
miraculous prosperity within a day
and a night. If the silver men intend
to try to msrepresent the conservative
Republican prediction on this subject
they will have to be met. No Republi-
can expects an immediate and breath
taking boom to follow the enactment
of the legislation to which his party
is pledged. 1t will be no argument for
| silver to charge us with failing to do
| what we never agreed to do and what
nobody outside of lunatic asylum
had any license to expect us to do.
But so far as a healthy invigoration
OF business is concerned, beginning with
the signing of fairly satisfactory new
tariff law, and gaining steadily as other
| Republican policies unfold, If this shall
rot be witnessed during the present
administration, Republicans. we sus-
pect, will be free to confess to an utter
" inexplicable disappointment coupled
with willingness to yield the floor to
other experimenters in the art Of gov
| ernment.

Charges Which Must Be 5.

Into the inner history back of Judge
James Gay Gordon's unsparing attack
upon the recent and present manage
ment OF the Eastern penitentiary we
have no insight. 1t is safe to assume
that there are numerous contributory
causes for the remarkable arraignment
OF this management made and reiter-
ated by him, and perhaps a knowledge
of them is essential to a correct judg-
ment OF his accusations. But be this
as II may. upon the main point il Is
clear that something more than a per.
functory and guarded inquiry by a
legislative committee instantly respon-
sive to political influences is now nee
essary.
The list OF offenses of which the man
agement Of this public institution
stands accused includes not simply neg
ligence and cruelty but deliberate ly-
ing, perjury and murder as well He,e
is sufficient breadth of arraignnent
TO warrant an investigation which will
stop nowhere short of revelation of
the entire truth. II is Impossible to ig-
more the matter or to permit It TO be
settled by an lnconclusive report by
careless or hurried committee. EN-
inent as are the men arrsigned, the

A Veto to the Point.

Governor Hastings message accom-
panying his veto of the bill increasing
the yearly pay of the sheritf's deputies
in Philadelphia from $1,000 to $4,000
apiece presents arguments from which
there is no appeal. 1t points out that
this bill placed no limit to the num-
Der of deputies who might under it's
provisions be put on the salary list, and
It contends that If deputies now take
unauthofized fees they would not be re-
strained from doing so in the future by
an increase in salary. The governors
remarks concerning the need of re-
trenohment in public expenses will re-
ceive enthusiastic endorsement and the
whole tenor of his communication to
the Legislature is most salutary.
1t is high time that such raids as
these on the public purse were sum-
marily halted. The power OF veto was
conferred for just such uses; and as
long as the governor shall use his pres
ent nice discrimination in spotting the
bad bills which come before him, how
ever the immediate sufferers from his
negative messages may squirm, the
general public will view his conduct OF
the gubernatorlal office with steadily
increasing satisfaction.

THE USED-TO-BE.

Beyond the purple. hazy trees
OF summers utmost boundaries:
Beyond the sands-beyond the seas
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of Memory
There lies a la1d, long lost to me
The land of Used-to-be.
A land enchanted-such as swung
In golden seas when sirens clung
Along their dripping Drinks, and sung
To Jason in that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody
O, such land with such a sea
Kissing its shores eternally,
Is the fair used-to-be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with belts of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet
words,
That evel in the low of herds
A meaning lives so sweet to me
Lost laughter ripples limpidly
From lips brimmed over with the glee
or rare old Used-to-be.
o land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shedy spots
OF coolest, greenest grassy plots,
Embossed with wild forget-me-
And all ye blooms that longingly
Lift your fair faces up to me
Out of the past kiss I'm ye
The lips of Used-to-be.
-James Whitcomb Riley.
