TWO EXTRAORDINARY SESSIONS

1t is striking Illustration of how
events bend political parties to their
imperious will and how theories give
way to conditions, that two successive
presidents have been elected upon one
issue and have had to meet another
and different one upon their induction
to office. In 1892 the one question at is
sue before the jury of the nation was
whether the principle of protection to
and fostering of private industries bv
means of the taxing power of govern
ment should be continued, or whether
that power should be used primarily
and purposely to raise needed revenue
On this issue the nation was polled
and an emphatic verdict rendered for
the revenue principle. But all the time
that this question was being argued
worldwide causes, accumulated by orr
own foolish financial policy, were has
tening to the elimination that broke
before President Cleveland had become
fairly seated, in the panic of 1893. He
summoned congress in extraordinary
session, not to revise the tariff and
eliminate its protective features, but

they must and will look for their exam
Minneapolis Tribune, for instance, ran
corous in it's hatred of the last admin
istratfon, an abuser of the "un-Ameri-
can foreign policy" which it's own party
has swallowed at gulp, coming out
with two articles in a single issue
adopting and approving Of two items Of
policy on which Mr.. Cleveland made a
hot fight against congress 1t an
nounces that a new immigration bill
will be put through, at the special ses-
sion in all probability, which will not
contain the Objectionable section Of the
old one forbidding free passage Of citi-
zens back and forth between Canada
and the United States. 1t was on ac-
count Of this provision particularly
that Mr.. Cleveland vetoed that bin, and
the Republican house passed it over
the veto as quickly as a vote could
be taken. If, then, the immigration
bill, as outlined, is to be put through,
it will be reversal by the Republican
party Of its own position and an adop-
ton Of that of Mr.. Cleveland.
The other article sets forth particu-
larry the great abuses connected with
the free distribution of garden seeds.
This is a fraud and a steal which has
grown to large proportions and is
drawing ever bigger sums from the
public treasury to help congressman in
| suit their constituents by offering them
/ these petty brides. President Cleveland
! and Secretary Morton fought this abuse
| through the whole Of an administra-
| ton, and the most vigorous onslaughts
upon them on this question were made
| by Republican leaders. Here, again
we have a Republican adoption of a
Democratic reform. We can wish nc
better fortune to the Republican party
Of the country than that the measures
and the policies that Mr.. Cleveland ad-
vocated could be taken up and carried
into effect He and the party that he
! represented want no other vindication
| In the restfulness of private life Mr.
Cleveland can smile at the swiftnoss
with which the wrath Of his enemies
has been made to praise him.

SOME INFANTS TAKEN CARE OF

SOME INFANTS TAKEN CARE OF.
AS one goes through the metal sched-
ule Of the Dingley bill he finds not
only evidence that even that committee
has not the hardihood to restore some
of the old rates, adopting those useless
for revenue but ample for protection
imposed by Mr.. Germans act, but one
recognizes the kindly disposition to-
ward some of our old friends in the
nursery where delicate infants are nUr-
tured. With Carnegie shipping steel
rails to Europe and Japan AMI making
armor plate for Russia at less than half
what he was getting from our treasury;
with Alabama limited in the quantity
Of pig iron her furnaces can ship to
England by the scarcity of ocean
freightage, and with Pennsylvania
mills sending black sheets to Wales to
be dipped with tin, it would be carry
ing Goals to Newcastle to restore the
taxes on imports of those articles for
either revenue or protective purposes.
There is, to be sure, Il modest increase
of one-f1fth Of a cent a pound on tin
plates, but black sheets remain the
same, and one-fifth of a cent a pound

their cute device Of differentiaIs based

more expensive after that item Of the
metal schedule gets in it's work.
Pen makers come in for an advance
of so per cent on present rates. a gra-
tuity for which the snug combination
in this country will be duly grateful
and whose opportunities they will
promptly utilize. Our old familiar ac-
quaintance, the American Screw COM
pany, whose interests Mr. German so
tenderly shielded from the rude blasts
of the house bill, will probably. be
grateful to Mr.. Dingley for leaving the
quilts all on, even if he does not spread
on another, in spite of the recent as
surance of its president, on the occa-
sion of it's stockholders annual meeting
that that industry had now reached a
point where it could not only meet any
competition of the home market, but
could successfully meet that of foreign
screw makers in their own domain. II
is therefore probable that the American
Screw company will continue to put
the screws" upon the prices in the
home market, however cheaply they
may make them for the poor foreigners.

the party had been flirting with none
tary insolvency. 1t had futtered
around fiatism as a moth circles about
the candies flame. It stopped the I.ay-
ment of it's notes in 1878 and bought
silver so as to emit more, doubling the
purchases in 1890 and virtually MAX
ing gold note payments for them. Be
fore his Inauguration Mr.. Cleveland
urged on congress the repeal Of silver
purchases, because they endangered
the permanency of the gold standard,
and was denounced by the Republican
national convention for hostility to sill
yer. Against forces in his own party
and the other he finally secured the re-
peal Of the silver purchase act, thus
insuring the gold standard, and, in
1885, the Republican party came up to
the same ground, dragging it's reluctant
nominee after it. In view of these prec-
edents it will better become our Repub-
ican friends to be modestly silent
about advance and rear guards.

NEW HAVEN Conn.,. Oct. 2O.-The sur
prise of the season in the football world was
furnished by Brown here to-day, when Capt.
Fultz's men broke through the Yale line al
most at will and ran up a total score of
fourteen points to Yale's eighteen, scoring
three touchdowns against the home team.
the largest score ever made on the Yale
field against a Yale eleven. Yale secured
no more touchdowns than did the visitors,
but her goal kicker, Guard Cadwalder, was
successful in trying for goal, While Hall,
who made the attempt after the Brown
touchdowns, failed in all but one chance.
1t was terrific shock for Yale to see her
line swept away by the Brown backs after
