COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

A tariff for revenue for monopo-
lies is about the Mckinley idea.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.
"A New York paper declares that
the reason for so many cabinet declina-
tons is the unpopularity of Mark Han
ma. But so long as Mckinley truly
loves him, what's the odds?-Albany
Argus.
-McKinley's cabinet will be one of
second-raters. No man with position
and reputation to sustain will go into
it willingly. If any of them arc forced
into it, they will get out before the end
of the term. There is danger ahead.
and there is not one of them who can
fail to see the red ight.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
1t is said to be the intention of
the committee on ways and means, now
working on a new tariff bill, to keep the
results of their deliberations secret
until they are presented to the next con-
gress. The hearings" though. may
give the matter away on the principle
that a man is known by the company ne
keeps.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
The amount of misinformation
and downright falsehood that has been
placed before the ways and means com
mittee during the tariff hearings would
be astounding to anybody who was not
familiar with the methods always en-
ployed by interested persons to extract
greater favors from the government
than they have any good reason to ask
Journal.
Inconsistency was never the bug
bear of the republican party. At this
time contradictions between their
promises and performances are worry
ing them less than ever. Having Sc
cured power by fight on the currency
issue, they propose to call an extra ses-
sion of congress, not to reform the cur
rency, but to enact higher tariff. An
other Inconsistency in their attitude is
the ground on which they argue for q
higher tariff-to raise prices. Yet the
effect of the former Mckinley tariff was
asserted by them to have been lower
pr;ces.-Kansas City Times.

PROMISES AND PIE cRUSTs.


Republican Campaign Lies in the Light
of Facts.
It seems to be fact that the single
gold standard, as a policy, is not real
izing the expectations of its friends in
the matter of improving conditions.
We were assured that after the SILVER
scare was at an end business would pick
up and activity would be resumed in all
branches of commerce and industry. In
fact. it was said that nothing prevented
a restoration of normal conditions eN-
ccpt the silver craze, which, it was al
legged. had destroyed public confidence
and created uncertainty and disturb
ance. Nobody now contends that nor
NAL conditions have been restored or
that there is any prospect of their early
restoration. Anybody who would make
such a contention would be compelled
to admit that normal conditions are
nothing to brag about.
OF course, under ordinary circum-
stances, the fair thing would be to wait
until the new administration had been
afforded an opportunity to put some
remedial legislation on the statute
book, assuming that legislation is d
good thing for diseased condition of
business; but the circumstances of the
present case are not ordinary. We
were told that nothing was needed to
restore prosperity but confidence; just
confidence, and that the only way. and
the sure way, to create confidence was
to elect Mckinley. Nothing was said
about waiting for legislation or even
for the major's inauguration; his cleo
ton was pledged to do the business.
The Buffalo Times admits that the
recent bank failures and the general as
signments reported during the past
few weeks, but it insists that neither
has his election verified in the slightest
degree the predictions made by his or
gans and their assistants that conf
dence would be at once restored, gold
would come out from its hiding places.
mills would reopen, the avenues OF en-
| ploymcnt would multiply, wages would
| rise and peace and plenty be our portion
evermore." Other papers refer to this
matter in similar terms, and this indi-
! Gates that general expectation banked
| on the majors election as the thing
| that, in realization of earnest promises,
| would create confidence and restore
| prosperity. We fancy. therefore, that a
vast number of people have by this time
| reached the conclusion that it is much
easier to vote for a thing than to get it
after voting for it; and that there is a
great deal of pie-crustiness about re-
publican campaign promises. - Bing-
| hamton On. W Leader.

pie who made no secret of their pur-
pose to erect n playhouse there. Con-
gress had an opportunity to buy it,
but failed to do so.
Society has circled around the square
in which these houses of historic re-
nown are located, just as moths 1ut-
ter around a light. Of course, the wife
OF the president is "the first lady in
the land" and no woman has more
worthily worn that title than Mrs.
Cleveland has worn it. She has always
been gracious and unconventional with
the general public, while size has been
regal and superb in official functions
of society. But Mrs. Cleveland is like
all good mothers. She cares less for
society than she does for her little ones.
During the first administrati of her
husband, when she was a young bride,
she was delighted with her high So
cial position, and enjoyed every mo-
ment of her time in social leadership.
During the present administration she
has been more domestic; and yet her
official functions have not been neg
lected. She has been very greatly
pleased, however, to have the active
assistance and cooperation of Mrs. Sec
rotary Lamont. Indeed, again and
again has Mrs. Cleveland avoided some
of the extra social amenities by direct
ing the current of society towards the
home of the secretary of war.

SCIENCE BUREAUS.
A Proposition to Place Them Under q
Cabinet Ohicer.

a PrOpOe1CtOu TO Rlac6 Ihem under q
Cabinet Officer.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The United
States is now maintaining % scientific
bureaus, giving employment to 1925
persons. For the support of them the
government is appropriating nearly
S,OO0,O 600. The A agricultural expert
ment stations are not included. The
trouble about this very liberal encour-
agement of scientific work at public ex-
pense is that most of the bureaus are
working entirely independent of the
others, supervised and directed by their
immediate chiefs, who have wide lati-
tude in the exercise of their discretion,
and are at liberty to branch out in al
most any direction, provided they can
secure an appropriation from congress
to pay the necessary expenses. The
remedy for this confusion and duplica-
ton is a consolidation into a depart
ment of science, with a director in
charge. The proposition of Assistant
Secretary Dabney, of the department
Of agriculture, is that a board be
formed to perfect consolidation.

Hearted Liar, Thief and Murderer
JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Jan. 21.-In the
mouse this morning Representative
Lee, of Carter, chairman of the COM
mittee on internal improvements, rose
to a question of personal privilege and
declared that Charles II. Jones, editor
Of the St Louis Post-Dispatch, was a
''black-hearted liar, a thief and muir
derer-" He had taken exceptions to an
editorial in that paper which charged
him with opposing the fellow-servant
law because he advised that sawmills

The Gold Reserre.

WASHINGTON, jan 25.-One hundred
and fifty million dollars is the goal
which the treasury officials now hope
to reach before the season of gold ex-
ports sets in. The official gold reserve
yesterday was s142, SIS, $50. The supply
Of notes of the denominations of 81 and
81 already has been exhausted, and
notes of SIS and SO are now being paid
out. 1t is not the policy of Treasurer
Morgan to ship small notes largely to
San Francisco, because they are not
usually in much demand, gold being
the medium of ordinary transactions
The present rate of increase in the gold
reserve would carry the amount to-
$50, OOO, 900 in about 20 DAYS.

secretary of state; George M. Dallas.
Judah P. Benjamin, and finally Gen.

Economy the Thing Needed.

Republican statesmen are filling the
papers with schemes to increase the
tariff taxes, to raise money TO pay
the expenses of the government. The
people are already paying more taxes
than they are able to pay. Even Sec
rotary Morton, goldite. declares there is
no use of increasing the burdens of the
people by increasing their taxes. Re
duce the expenses of the government
let the policy be more economy and less
taxation. A return to Jeffersonian
simplicity is needed more than anything
else in governmental affairs at this
time.-Exchange.
