Secretary Gage has notified Con-
gress that the war tariff should be
reduced, but the chances are against
any action in that line at present.
The people want the stamp taxes
removed and the brewers have
served notice that if any 60, the tax
on beer must do so. So, in view of
the impossibility of doing without
both, the Republicans will probably
decide to spend the money instead
of repeating the law that produces
it.

An effective volley was fired in the

An effective volley was fired in the
cause of Democracy by the Pennsyl-
vania Democrats at their convention
in Harrisburg, April 3. Sixty-four
delegates were chosen, and in
structed definitely for Bryan. Thus
far five states have held conventions
Massachusetts, Utah, Nebraska,
Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.
All have instructed for Bryan for
president, and all except Pennsylva-
MIA for the reaQifmation of the Chi.
cago platform. The tone of the
Pennsylvania platform leaves no
donbt that the delegates from that
state will stand Loyalty by the plat
form of 1896 in its essentials. The
action Of these state conventions
affords an idea of the Democratic
opinion as to the wisdom of sending
instructed delegates. 1t will be
we'll if every state convention
shall instruct. The Democratic
national convention at Kansas City
ought 10 reflect the desires and
wishes of the Democratic masses.
The only opportunity the masses
have to express their desires is at
the primary elections. The dele
gates chosen by the primaries should
be instructed, and the delegates
whom they, in turn, choose at the
state conventions should he instruct
ed in accordance with the purposes
prescribed by the primary voters.
Then the final result at Kansas
City will not be the outcome of
trades and doubtful compromises.
but will be, as it should be, the
formal registration of the peoples
will.

Of course the gold Democrats
who are opposed to 9Yan are be.
hind the Dewey movement, but this
fact need not disturb any one. The
Democratic party is great enough to
have not only two but half a dozen
candidates for it's nomination. The
convention will decide and il, as
now seems probable, it decides in
favor of Bryan, the pther candidates
will loyalty bow to its decisions.
Admiral Dewey is too honest man
to attempt to secure the nomination

support the nominee of the conven.
ton there. And if he should be
named for the Vice Presidency, and
