THEIR PLEDGES FULFILLED.
Republicans Carry Out Their c""'
paign Promises.

Tho r,anublicans of the lower house
If the Fifty-ffth congress have re
deemed their pledges to the people as
promulgated in the national PLATFORM
adopted at st. Louis and indorsen py
the nominee of that convention IN ms
Latter of acceptance. That. the Dill re-
c.iyed the loyal and unwavenng sup
port of every republican in the mouse
after a nine days consideration OF the
important measure shows the aolilty Oh
the popular branch to correctly discern
tbe meaning of the verdict OF November
and its disposition to quickly respond
to the popular will.
That the bill also received the votes
of five southern democrats is slgnln-
cant of the change of southern senu-
ment on this question, and Is gratlly-
ing augury of the good time coming
when the protective policy Will meet
with popular acceptance among thenew
leaders of the new south as the only
policy that can develop the vast re-
sources of that section of the union.
1t is true that the tariff question was
not the paramount issue in the recent
campaign. but it must be borne in mind
that. it was put to the front in the con-
vention at ST. Louis and formed the sub
iect of the first plank in the natlonai
platform. This plank contained these
words:
..wa demand such an equitable tariff on
foreign imports which come into conpet!-
| ton with American products as VIII not
| only furnish adequate revenue TOT tue f'S
! essary expenses of the government pH'
will protect American labor from dcgrada- :
| ton TO the wage level of other lands. we
| are not pledged TO any particular scheu
| ules The question of rates is practtcai
| question to be governed by the corditlons
| OF the time and OF production; the ruling
| and uncompromising principle Is the pro-
| lection and development of American IA
| Dor and industry. The country ueina'I :
a right settlement and then 1t wants rest
AS this plank occupied first position
in the platform, and the nominee, VINO
! Endorsed the platform, was elected oy q
magnificent popular majority. II is
| eminently fitting that it should be dis
posed of promptly and expeditiously by
the Fifty-fifth congress before any
! other measures of legislation are con-
sidered. The spirit and purpose OF
this plank have been embodied in the
Dingley bill by men who have made
study of the tariff question ard VINO
have brought TO bear upon it the light
of much experience with wide knowi-
edge of treasury needs and of present
industrial conditions.
Before the senator's take up the Ding
lev bill the last sentence of the 81
Louis tariff plank should be emblazoned
in large letters on the walls of the sen
ate chamber: "The country demands G
right settlement and then it wants
rest"
Behind that sentence is the voice OF
the people. win the senate heed it,

Efforts to MinIend.

Decciving comparisons will not lead
the people to forget that there is an alb
solute need to-day for a larger revenue
than was required under the McKin-
ley act, not only because the country
has grown in population and in the de-
mands upon it's public service during
four Yeas, but because the democratic
administration has fastened upon the
country a new debt of over $262 1000, 900,
raising the annual interest charge
over half, or $12, 127,1S4. The postal
service has been enlarged within the
last four years by laws which Pres
dent Cleveland has signed, and the ma
val service and many branches of pub
lie business have been by law rendered
more costly. In order to provide for
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment and for the democratic increase
of interest. the country requires a
larger revenue than il required when
President Cleveland was elected.-N

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
A Faithful Reflex of the wishes of
the People.

Whether it be greatly amended by the
senate or whether it become law in
nearly the form in which it has left
the house, the character of the vote by
which the Dingley bill was passed by
the representatives of the people, and
the quickness with which it was trans
ferred TO the consideration of the sen.
ate. must be accepted as evidence OF the
imperative desire of the nation that tar
ifs shall be increased, and that they
shall he Increased quickly. The senate
will not be held guiltless if it peedlessly
prolong the period of deficit and in.
dustrial stagnation.
So strong is the demand for tariff re.
form in the direction of protection that
five democrats, from southern districts,
too. and one populist joined with the sol
idly republican majority in the house
in approval of it. When a considerable
number of southern representatives
vote for protective tariff il is safe 10
say that the Schoolmaster Experience
has been abroad, and that he has had
many scholars. Almost equally indica-
| tive of the trend of national opinion is
that 21 populists and fusionists,
gentlemen with one simple rule of &C
| ton, "be agin the government" were
so considerate of the day in which they
| again shall meet their constituents as
to refrain from voting against the bill
Some amendments may be necessary;
but, unless all signs shall fail, the peo-
pie will not patiently bear protracted
discussion or radical reconstruction OF
the measure. In the main, the Dingley
bill is faithful reflex of the desire and
qualification of the need of the people
who will not bear patiently protracted
discussion or factious opposition by the
senate.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE TARIFF BILLS PASSAGE.
Through the House and In the HANDS
OF the senate.

The passage of the tariff bill IN the
house puts that measure through the
first stage of its career, under proms-
ing conditions. 1t has secured an early
start, and if the senate shows an idea OF
the importance of speed in dealing with
the bill it may reach the president long
before the close of the fiscal year on
June 80. Even the enemies OF the bill
ought to realize the necessity OF putting
IL on the statute book without un-
reasonable delay. They are aware, or
should be, that they cannot deieat IT,
Although the republicans have not q
clear majority in the senate, enough
votes of former republicans ana OF
democrats are virtually promised for
the bill 10 secure its passage. AS
everybody knows, the business uncer-
tainty cannot end and the Industrial
revival begin until the tariff changes
are made, and therefore a policy OF
,vanton obstruction would be sure 10
arouse the popular wrath against the
bills enemies.
Nobody supposes the measure will
have its present shape in all respects
when it gets through the senate. That
body is always apt to assert It's mde-
pendence and it's powers in the matter
of tariff legislation. When, in 1894,
tho democrats controlled both branches
OF congress, the senate amended the
Wilson tariff bill in ga places, and IN
sisted on its changes with such vigor
and pertinacity that, after deadlock
of MANY weeks, it forced the house TO
accept them. although the house was
backed by the president. Of course,
no conflict like that is looked for at the
present time. The republicans of the
senate, who lack only one or two votes
of having a majority of that body ear
l.sstly desire to make the bill as accept
able as possible to the country, and
such changes as they may create in
The measure will be due TO an honest
purpose 10 improve the bill when they
think improvement is needed,
1t appears to be the intention of the
house to do nothing further in the
present session except what may he
rendered necessary by the possible mod
ifications of the tariff bin in the senate
The house will go through the form o.
remaining in session. and its ahstentior
from further work will probably have
the effect of huITying action in the
other branch. The sole purpose of the
session was to pass bill TO furnish
more revenue for the government ant
additional protection for such indus
tries as need il. and by refusing TO Ok
any further work the house can MAKE
this design plain to the senate. Pre-
dictions as to the senate's course OF
anything are ordinarily hazardous, bu
it seems safe TO assume that that bod,
will in this EFFICIENCY show an intelli
gent appreciation of the popular de
sire. There is fair probability tina
President Mckinley will place his sig
nature to the Dingley tariff some tim
in May or in early June.-St. Loui

. THE DlNGlEY MEASURE.
some Significant Facts Drought Ont
in the Vote.


The house did not consume unneces-
sary time in the passage of the tarln
measure. 1t is significant that on the
final vote every republican member
voted for the bill. and five democrats
also, while 90 of the populists refused
To be recorded either for or against
the measure. The break in the demo-
cratic column caused considerable COM
rent. Three members from Louisiana
and two members from Texas, all dem
ocrats, dared TO vote their convictions
in favor of American industries. The
sentiment for protection has been
growing in both Louisiana and Texas.
the one a sugar and the other wool
growing state. The two significant
facts about the vote are the broken
democratic columns and the unbrokcn
republican line.
The tariff bill is now before the SEN
ate. 1t will encounter much stormier
weather in that body. The senate is
more evenly divided and it is at the
l.resent time the most talkative and
even quarrelsome house. The senatorial
tradition of deliberation (Which now
means mostly taik) will also operate to
retard the speed of the bill. If the
senate will consult the wishes of the
people as a whole it will pass ii as soon
as it's provisions can he considered.
| The country is tired of endless debate.
The people would rather have the bill
with it's iluperfections, at once, than
| have it with corrections one or two
months from now. The country needs
n rest. 1t wants basis for resumption
and speedy tariff law will constitute
such a basis. Give the country the
law as soon as possible. We are will
ing to take it as the committee in the
house prepared it. Let us have it as
soon as possible.-Iowa State Regis.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1897-10-30

From the New Yok Commercial Advertiser.
Two summers ago. in Newport certain
wealthy woman astonished the guests she
had invited to a lawn fete by having a big
white cow brought out and MIXED before
the company. The milkmaid was. Of
course, a Vatican milkmaid. with bucklei
shoes. short skirt and panniers. and the
cow wore a collar of bells and blue ribbon
around her neck. The same woman. who
apparently has a penchant for cattle, has
been visiting in the Hartz district of Ger
many, and her fancy was captured by the
melody of the bells that were attached to
the hecks of the cows in the meadow The
bells were of different sizes, and when
rung in unison produced the sweetest and
most harmonious of sounds. Madame
promptly ordered some bells of a Hartz
firm for her beloved American kline, and
it is to be supposed that the wanderers in
the direction of her "vacherie" next sum-
mer will be greeted by the same tinkling
tunes that delight ones ears in the pic
turesque Hartz mountains.

corncob Pipe. and TIT stems.

FROM Tue SAsdnnah news.
The manufacture of corncob pipes has
become a considerable industry at Beau
fort. S. c. Special machinery has been
made for the purpose, and an expert turner
is employed to carve out the bowls which
are of many designs. The cobs are of a
particular corn grown in the Missouri val
ley, and are transported to South Carolina
by the carload. The cobs have to be sea-
soned for two or three years before they
are used. The supply of cane stems. which
is obtained from the cane brakes along the
Port Royal railroad. in lots of $1,000 stems,
capable of being cut into three length, al
so employs much labor in the country, to
select and gather them. a new and attrac-
tive feature of some of these pipes is the
ti-ti stem.
The It'll is a shrub, the botanical name
of which is "Cliftonia Ligustrina." It
grows up in long. straight, ,pointless stem.
with a soft center pith. and of various cir
conferences, from the size of an ordinary
pipe stem to that of the little finger 1t
has enjoyed the reputation from the alb
Crigines and among southern planters and
others, who have ever used 1t in prefer
ence to any other. not excepting the cherry
or fig stem. of best absorbing the nicotine
and anording a grateful and fragrant
taste.

Written for The Evening Star.
Once i'm Awhile.
Once in awhile. like the sun that streams
Through the breaking clouds on day Of
showers.
The light of happiness gaily CLEANS
On this vistful, wearysome world of ours.
And the sands of the hour-glass turn to
gold.
And melodies faint and far unfold,
And they lightly clink and our thoughts
beguile
With mystical mus:c--once in awhile.
Once in awhile, through the battling crowd,
The face Of en- honest friend will pass
Or voice will silence the tumult loud
The tender voice of a loving lass.
But the throng grows fierce and the din
grows high
AS nope and hatred renew the cry.
And frown effaces the careless smile
That comes to cheer us-once in awhile.
Once in awhile comes the day that's best
After days of waiting through worse"
and bad
The day that is radiant and sweet with
rest,
The day that we long for when life is
sad
How well twould be if the tide of years
Could be, somehow, turned from the flood
of tears;
If the hours Of darkness and doubt were
drained
And only the "Once-in-a " hiles' remained.
