THE TARIFF BILL.

According to reports from Washington
the hope of an early enactment OF the
tariff bill is rapidly fading away. The
more the question is discussed the greater
are the differences of opinion developed
and the more difficult does it appear to
harmonic the conflicting interests that
are wrangling over the rates OF duties to
be adopted 1t is now believed, moreover
that the Democrats will change from their
policy of acquiescence in whatever the
Republicans may devise and will make
fight against the bill sufficiently pro-
longed to postpone its adoption until late
in the summer.
The controversy at present is directed
to the question whether the bill as pre-
pared by the Republican members OF the
Finance Committee shall be reported
directly to the Senate for discussion or
shall first be submitted to the full COM
mIttee, there to undergo consideration by
the Democratic mem bers. In this contro-
versy the committee is equally divided
between Republicans and Democrats, with
Senator Jones of Nevada holding the bal
ance of power 1t will be for him to decide
whether or no the bill is to be reported at
once or held in committee for some weeks
~ -
TO come.
The fact that the balance OF power is in
the hands of the Nevada Senator is en-
couraging to Western interests, and par
ticularly to those of California. 1t IS
stated on what seems to be good authority
that the Senator will seek for higher du-
ties on borax, wool, lead and citrus fruits
and will also support the Western Sena-
tors in their movement to obtain a4cnty
on hides. Furthermore he is reported to
favor a rebate on tin for export, which
will be benefit to all the canning indus
tries of the coast and a matter OF no small
importance to our trade.
Il is not easy to es timate the true value
of these various reports. The Senators OF
course are not giving ont definite state
ments as to their final action for they are
we'll aware that compromises will have TO
be made all around in order to frame
bill which will be satisfactory to a major
ity of the Senate. 1t is well known that
under tho best circumstances the majority
to be hoped for must be necessarily small,
ana therefore as two or three men have 1t
in their power 10 defeat the bill, or at
least to greatly postpone its adoption, tits
impossible for nypody to foresee clearly
the exact shape which the measure will
take in its completed form.
Such reports as are sent out are conflict
ing in many porsantrespeets. The best
feature of the situation is that with every
days delay there is an improved prospect
of better terms for Western interests, and
we therefore can wait the slow delibera-
lions of the Senate without undue impa-

PREMIER RALLI.

Greece has snapped horses while cross
ing the stream and if Abraham Lin coin
was right IN his philosophy she has ven
tured upon dangerous experiment in do
ing so. She has made evident 10 her enc
mics that her people are divided and that
her Government does not have their full
and united support Even if we assume,
therefore, that the new Cabinet is to be in
every respect superior to the former, the
change made at this time can hardly be re-
garded as favorable to the Greek cause.
The overthrow of the Delyannis admin
istration was clearly caused by the disas-
tiers to the Greek army ON the frontier.
The Prime Minister has been held respon-
sible by the populace for evils which were
in all probability not of his causing. 1t is
certain that he did not bring on the war,
since the clamors of the Greek people
forced his hand in that respect and COM
PEELED him to 60 forward. As matter of
TACT the Greek lrregulars were crossing the
frontier in every direction and fighting the
Turk IN spite OF all the Government could
do to restrain them. In turning against
the administration, therefore, as soon as
disasters occurred the Greeks have shown
desire to shift responsibility upon others
instead of bearing it themselves, and this
is sign of anything rather than of that
resolution which IS necessary on the part
OF a weak people when making war against
strong one.
The new Premier enters upon office
with flourish Of oratory in striking vio-
lation of the maxim, Let not him that
buckleth on his armor boast himself as he
that putteth it off" 1t Is fair to presume
that the bold tone taken by Ralll was in
tended largely to have its effect upon the
Greek population, and he probably spoke
more bravely than he felt for the purpose
of rouslng and encouraging the people.
This consideration saves him from the
danger of being reputed something of a
braggart, and the world will wait to see
how near be can come to fulfilling his
manifesto before it condemns him for
taking part in overthrowing the former
administration instead OF giving it sup
port in the hour of need and at time
when all Greeks should have stood to-
gether IN resistance to the invader.
As a represen tative of what is known
| in Greece as NeoHellenism, Ralli is
said to be the popular idol of Athens, and
the confidence they have in him may 90
far toward encouraging them in the war
with the Turk. There can be no question
OF the influence of personal leadership at
critical periods in the history of nations,
and il the new Premier can arouse new
ardor among the people Greece may yet
show that there are exceptions to Mr..
Lincoln's rule, and that it is advisable at
times to swap horses in crossing stream,
even when the stream is most turbulent
and the danger is greatest.

mount an influence there as the English
colonies obtained in this country in the old
days when the possession of America was
a matter Of dispute among the nations of
Europe. The republic of the Beers can
hardly grow much. That of Cape Colony
Is certain to grow rapidly, and unless the
British make the foolish mistake of at
tempting to defy all Europe, in order to
conquer the Beers by force of arms, it
seems to be only matter of time when
they will acquire all of South Africa by
the natural processes of growth and ab-

THE TRANSVAAL QUESTION.

The annual budget of the British Gov
eminent, submitted to the Commons on
Thursday by Sir Michael HIcks-Beach,
Chancellor of the Exchequer. shows that
the previous year has been one of rational
prosperity for Great Britain and that the
revenues have yielded a surplus OF over
So, 600, 900, besides reducing the national
debt by over $35,00000U. The debate
which followed the report, however, was
lot encouraging for the coming year, in
asmuch as it turned upon the fact that the
Government has set aside about 81 900, 900
for strengthening the military forces in
South Africa, thus giving evidences of
danger Of war in that direction.
The item of the budget providing for
the South African military expenditures
was attacked by Sir William Harcourt,
leader of the opposition, who complained
that these expenditures were entirely I'M
necessary and were calculated to bring
about race war, thus leading to heavy
and costly expenditures later on. The
reply made by Mr.. Cham berlain was
that the Transvaal Government has
spent millions in strengthening its
ornaments, and that prompt action on
the part of Great Britain in providing for
stronger military and naval power in
South Africa was really "concliatory,"
inasmuch as it would help to maintain
the peace by impressing upon the Beers
the folly of undertaking any war with
the British or disputing their paramount
authority"
If the issue at stake were no more than
a controversy between Great Britain ana
the Transvaal the danger of war would be
so slight it would hardly occasion COM
ment. 1t happens, however, that other
powers are interested in the situation.
Germany, France and Portugal are by no
means willing that England should be-
come paramount in Africa and have been
watching with considerable jealousy the
extension of her colonies and her en-
croachments in every part of the CONT
nent. These powers are very likely to
side with the Transvaal and give assist
ance TO the Beers in maintaining their in
dependence and defying the sovereignty
of the British. 1t is this consideration
which gives importance to the situation
and makes the debate in the Commons a
matter of interest throughout the world.
. 1t hardly seems possible that the British
Government will undertake anything like
a lingo policy in South Africa at this
time. The expansive power of the British
is such they have only to wait for the

CULTIVATION OF SUGAR BETS

The great desideratum in sugar beet culture
is to produce beets of exceeding sweetness.
This requires careful selection of seed. The

In gold, because 1t produces a beet yielding a
large percentage OF saccharine matter. This
seed is being distributed with great care to
persons who Will make good use OF 1t. The

that direction the sooner will this country be
