and vacating Judge BaiIey's three orders

CHANGING TARIFF VIEWS.

Some Of the most radical protection
organs are becoming convinced that
trade prospers best where it is freest
Reciprocity has demonstrated this to
their evident satisfaction
But free trade is out of the question,
since there are revenues to raise and
import duties provide them about as
easily as any known form of taxation.
Therefore, tariff for revenue is a ne
cessity.
The present tariff is not a revenue
raiser. 1t is prohibitory in its effect.
The report of the treasury department
shows this, and the figures given by
| the president in his message confirm it.
A leading advocate Of a protective
tariff for many years, the Wool and
! Cotton Reporter, considers the tariff
policy outlined for the Philippines as
very significant, because it is proposed
by President Mckinley, or with his
concurrence.
Here says this organ of the tex.
! tile manufacturers, 'is the most rigid
I adherent of the protective tariff policy
in the country agreeing to abandon his
previous position in the matter of a
large population about to be incorpor-
ated into the population of the United
States
The consequences of territorial ~
pansion are thus portrayed by the Re-
porter:
TT will have to be assumed that the
! administration would not have consent
ed to this policy in the Philippines had
it not been convinced that we could
hold our own against other nations in
the trade of the islands. 1t follows,
therefore, that if this is a correct
theory, the time cannot be far distant
when the cry was raised that if the
open door works we'll for the Philip
pines it would be equally successful if
applied to the markets of the United
States.
Two years ago this would have been
an awful prospect for the organ of the
textile manufacturers to contemplate
but it seems to have lost its horrors fol-
some reason or other.
The Reporter concludes by saying
that ''in ten years from now the coun-
try will hardly recognize it's present
self"

DIFFERENCE IN LATITUDE.

President Mckinley did not hesitate
to interpose the strong arm of federal
interference in the race war at Viii
mington, n. c., but he apparently over
looked the race conflict at Virden, Ills.
Everything goes to show that there
is a great deal of party feeling in these
deplorable occurrences; that race wars
not only originated in partisan differ
ences, but are all too frequently settled
in a partisan spirit.
Governor Tanner of Illinois is under
indictment now for refusing to protect
negro miners from an Illinois mob.
Governor Tanner belongs to a party
that claims to be the negro's friend and
protector, too. If the governor were
president of the republic he would
doubtless do as President Mckinley has
in the case of Carolina vigilantes but
an Illinois mob is quite another mat
ter.
Governor Tanner is charged with fail
ure and refusal to protect the negroes
from mob violence at Virden; to an
swer the call of the sheriff for help in
the suppression of mob; to aid the
local authorities to preserve order and
uphold the law; to use the means at his
disposal, and the authority delegated
to him for such emergencies, in the
protection of life and property. For
his failure and refusal to do these
things Governor Tanner Is resting I'M
der an indictment returned by a grand
jury of his peers and fellow citizens
upon the evidence of dozen leading
men of the county in which the riot
ing occurred.
The general charge against Governor
Tanner is "palpable omission of duty"
The laws under which he has been
indicted are as follows:
Article 5, section 6, constitution of the
state: THE supreme executive power
shall be vested in the governor, who
shall take care that the laws be faith
fully executed"
Article 5, section IS, constitution of
the state: 1.-THE governor and all Off
GERS Of this state shall be liable to i'm
parchment for any nisdemeanor in Of
fee"
Chapter SS. section 2OS. criminal code,
misconduct of officers, omission and
malfeasance: Every person holding
any public Office, whether state, county
or municipal, trust or employment, who
shall be guilty OF any palpabIe omission
of duty, shall be fined not exceeding

ganization of six divisions, eighteen
brigades and fifty-four regiments of in
fantry, fifteen regiments of cavalry,
ten regiments of heavy artillery, two
regiments of light artillery, and two
regiments of engineers, besides men in
the other staff corps.
1t also provides for one general, two
lieutenant generals, six major generals,
one major general of cavalry, one ma
jor general of artillery, eighteen brig
adler generals of infantry, two briga-
der generals of cavalry, and two OF
artillery.
But the feature which, by all ODDS.
commends the measure to army Of
ficers and professional soldiers, is the
one that insures them against the po-
litical pull, and provides q rotary sys-
tenn in staff service. Vacancies in the
staff grades as they occur hereafter,
and the new places to be created Will
be filled, according to General Miles
proposition, by the detail of officers Of
corresponding grade from the line of
the army, who shall retain their rela-
tive status in the lineal list of their
grade of the branch of the service to
which they belong, and shall serve on
the staff for a period of years, unless
promoted earlier to higher grade in
their branch of the service. Upon COM
pletion of their term, or upon promo
ton, these officers shall be returned to
their branch or arms, and their places
filed by similar details, subject to the
same limitations.
In his communication to the secretary
of war, enclosing a draft of the bill,
General Miles says:
THE organization recommended Is
such as to give rank in proportion. to
the important duties and great respon-
sibilities required Of the different Of
| ficers in our service. and is similar to
the organization which has been found
most efficient in the armies of all other
civilized nations, and also to that which
was found to be most effective in the
confederate army between the years
1851 and 1861
On the whole it is a very feasible plan
for the reorganization, matter that
must be attended to at once, if any
more volunteers are to be relieved OF
garrison duty.

DISTURBING THE HARMONY.

What is all the row in the city coun-
Gil about, anyhow?
Is it possible that there are members
of this municipal government who have
not yet learned that the chief Of police
5 is the whole thing?
When a pay roll is sent to the coun-
Gil containing the name of the chiefs
young son.. who is down for $50 per
month, there is only one thing to do,
and that is to feel thankful that there
are not two sons on the roll.
If the police department is not main
tanned for the secondary. purpose of
furnishing the chiefs friends and rela-
tives with lucrative positions, there ex-
lists 4 difference Of opinion
Chairman Howe of the police and fire
committee refused to approve the last
monthly pay roll of the police depart
ment. for the following reasons:
First-The amount due Desk Ser
geant Emery was made payable TO Ar
thur Pratt, il. The city is RESPONSIBLE
to Emery, and doesn't know the boy in
this position. Mr. Howe refused to
make the city liable to Mr.. Emery for
an amount due only to him, by paying
it to some one else.
Second-The roll showed that Ser
geants Rhodes and Wire were down
for one day each at sergeants' wages.
while the same roll showed that their
instantaneous successors, Sergeants
Hilton and. Janney, were claiming pay
FOR. the same dav in the same canacitv
Mr.. Howe had the temerity to object
to this. He apparently forgets the cir
cumstances Of the reinstatement. In
order to appear to comply with the
mandate Of the supreme court, it was
necessary to put Messrs. Rhodes and
Wire down for at least a day apiece
at sergeants' pay. The two men who
actually discharged the duties of ser
geants by an order of the chief, issued
Immediately after the formal rein
statement, We're listed for the full
month, of course. The chief expects
the city to stand good for his showing
of compliance with the decision.
Mr.. Howe is too technical entirely
He shouldn't interfere with 1.-The har,
mony of the department in this way
People who refuse to recognize the
chief of police as "the whole thing
in salt Lake City, will have to move
OUT or wait for the legislature t

office, trust or employment
The governor is serene, however. He
rests as comfortably as if he were I'M
der an eider-down quilt instead of an
Indictment Probably he counts on his
pardoning prerogative to get him out
of any difficulty his conduct may have
gotten him into At any rate he seems
to feel that there is a difference be-
tween an Illinois mob and a Carolina
mob.
His equanimity under the circum-
stances is an affront to the people of
Illinois. It is evidently based on the
security of an exalted position in the
state government. Like a bold rascal
he despises futile opposition. But his
serenity is his shame.
No one believes that he will have
to pay a fine or wear the stripes. 1t is
doubtful if the grand jury that found
the bill against him expects such a
result. But the fact that witnesses ap-
peared against him and that the jury
did not shirk it's duty, removes, in part,
the disgrace which great common
wealth must feel from having such a
governor.
When a high executive, sworn to up
hold the laws and enforce them, utter
ly fails and wilfully neglects to do so,
it is encouraging to know that the I'M
official citizen in the simple discharge
of his duties as such, can arraign even
a lawless governor.
It is one of the glories of this demo-
cratic republic that such things are
not only possible, but are actually at
tempted now and then.

ARMY REORGANIZATION.

General Miles has submitted a plan
for the reorganization of the regular
army. It provides for the enlistment
of 100000, approximately, based on the
following apportionment: One soldier
to each 600 people of the United States
proper, and two soldiers to each 1000
of the population in the dependent col
onies.
The necessity for an increased army
is apparent. The question Of territorial
expansion is no longer debatable. 1t
has passed that point. The nation has
expanded. Every effort to defeat the
ratification of the Paris treaty should
be rebuked.
Whether the acquisition of new terri
tory was advisable or not is no longer
a proper topic for discussion. Before
the representatives of the American
government presented their ultimatum
to Spain it was the duty of every man
to protest against any policy which
seemed to conflict with the genius of
this republic. But their ultimatum is
the ultimatum of the American people.
1t is the last act in a war against
tyranny and ignorance. Time alone will
tell US whether these islands are a
burden or a blessing; whether it is
possible to civilize them, or necessary
to turn them loose to work out their
own destiny.
In the meantime the regular army
will have to be increased to meet these
new conditions, to guard these new pos
sessions, to help to answer these ques-
lions. to aid in the deliberate unravel-
ing of complications which, in such a
war with such a foe. waged for the
purposes assigned by this government,
were inevitable.
Senator Jones of Arkansas. chair
man of the Democratic national organ
ization, has already announced his OPP
position to the increase of the regular
army. His position is untenable, I'M
less ne has chosen to follow in the
footsteps Of those distinguished Repub-
licans. Senators Hoar and Hale, whose
hostility to expansion is becoming vio-
,ent, and who evidently have designs
upon the treaty when it finally reaches
congress: for, with islands to govern
directly or by protectorate, to have
or to hold, TO annex or to teach self
government, an increased army is abso
lutely indispensable.
Whatever may be done in five or ter
years with the islands left on our ma.
tional doorstep by the cratic Mars
there are duties to perform meanwhile
and conditions TO be met. For these
reasons the proposition submitted by
the ranking officer Of the army deserve
immediate and favorable considera-
tion.

1.-THE PRESENT STANDARD. "

Comptroller Dawes put out a "feeler,"
it was intimated, when he submitted
his currency report The president does
not appear to be as well satisfied over
the campaign outlook for 1900 as the
bankers are over the result of the last
election.
There has been question in his
mind, if one may judge from conduct
and appearances, concerning the actual
popularity of the single standard. The
indecision of the man is. shown in his
message, which declares for the pres
ent monetary system, while the report
of Comptroller Dawes, who is known
to enjoy the confidence of the chief ex-
ecutive, throws the international agree
ment illusion upon the administration
canvas for the obvious purpose of as
pertaining how much more of the hum
bug the public is clamoring for or able
to stand.
The president gives no hope to BIZ
metallists of any kind, in his message.
He even throws those of the interna-
tional class overheard. But he allows
Comptroller Dawes to favor it, and Sec
rotary Gage, at the same time, to dis
credit it.
But he does manage to let those sill
yer men who endorse and applaud his
policies, who support his followers for
congress, who read and approve the
silver plank of the st. Louis platform, y
know what he thinks of their cause in
the following, taken from the message:
''The provision made for strengthen
! ing the resources of the treasury in
connection with the war, has given in
creased confidence in the purpose and
power of the government to maintain
the present standard, and has estab-
lished more firmly than ever the. nauon-
al credit at home and abroad"
In reiterating his recommendation OF
a year ago President Mckinley says:
This recommendation is made in the
belief that such provisions of law would
insure to a greater degree the safety
of the present standard and better pro-
tect our currency from the dangers tic
which it is subjected from a disturb
! ance in the general business conditions
of the country
There is no desire for international
bimetallis1n expressed. 1t would seem
that the "feeler'' put out by Mr.. Dawes
had found the people alert to the frauo
practiced upon them in>1896 by the in
ternational agreement mountebankS
