Reannearance of Colonel Villas.

The temperance of ex-senator Villas in
the field of political discussion is welcome.
He is 4 man of ideas and Of courage, and
he speaks and writes well. Both In the In
terror Department and In the Senate he ex-
hibted strong qualities, and his party lost
by his retirement to private life. He be-
longs to the Cleveland wing of the demOc-
racy. and in coming forward he is to
be reckOned with as another force against
Organism.
In deliverance which is just out Col.
Villas declares against both Imperialism and
protection. but rates the latter the great
or evil, and advises that 1t be attacked with
vigor. He says:
Il fear distraction. Protection is quick
to profit by it. Its shrewd counseis have
fCmented war, have set the nation in quest
of military glory and find it's account in the
controversy over Imperialism. We may
justly hold protection itself responsible for
these conditions; it will craftily keep ag-
tation of such questions alive and We may
! be sure. also, as the careful observer cam
not but see the fact now to be, that it will
prevent array of parties any issue aris-
ing from them that may imperil its own
party strength.
A difference Is to be noted between the
views of Col. Villas and those of Champ
Clark to the war with Spain. The for
sible for the war. and sees 1t profitng by
the result Mr.. Clark, on the other hand
contends that the republicans had to be
dragged into the conflict by 1.-The scruff of
the neck" and insists that to the democracy
alone is due the initiative in setting the
nation in quest of military glory"
But the principal difficulty with this de-
| hverance is Its lack of deiniteness. Col.
Villas deals too much in generalities If
anything should be left of protection, how
much? If nothing: If it should be chal-
lenged to the death, why not in as many
words say so? These are fair questions be-
cause Col. Villas has record on this sub
| ject. He was at Chicago in 1892 and sup
ported the compromise tariff plank which
Henry Watterson defeated before the con-
vention. He was III the Senate in 1894 when
the Wilson bill came over from the House,
ton of that measure. he voted for it after
the mutflation was complete. His chief in
the White House refused his assent to the
work.
Now, just how much of a tariff reformer
| is Col. Villas? He did not favor, although
forced TO accept. Henry Watterson's free
| trade ideas as expressed at Chicago In 1892
| and he did not favor, although forced to
accept, Mr.. Germans reputation of those
| ideas In a tariff bill eighteen months later
| At that time he stood somewhere between
| two extremes. Where does he stand now?
| No more tariff battles are to be won on
generalities And as Col Villas is an able

course In the debate on the franchise yes
terday all suggestions Of bribery were In
dignantly refuted by the opponents Of the
measure.
The contract as drawn proposed an an
nual payment to the city of $4,000. which,
as already stated, would be subject to In
crease under judicial estimate at the end of
twenty-five years. This sum was de-
nounced yesterday by the obstructive al
dermen as pittance, but 1t looks very
large when the bargain already struck be-
tween the railroads and this city Is con-
sidered. In this case the city and the gov
eminent are Jointly to pay the railroads big
bonuses for the abolition of grade crossings
and the provision of new terminals There
is no parallel for the iiberality of the terms
offered to New York in the entire history
of terminal-making in this country. Chica-
go approaches most closely. There the cor
porations pay for all terminal Improvements
within their rights of way, the city bearing
only the incidental expense beyond the lines.
The equities all demand that the corpora
lions should pay literally for the privilege
of entering cities, in whatever manner, and
the more Objectionable the manner the
heavier should be the toll. The community
should not contribute one acre or one dollar

Therefore when a bargain is struck which
offers the city as In New York, She adoan-
tage Of an infinitely superior terminal. the
corporation paying for all the work and
bonus of $4,000 to the municipality be-
sides, the city bearing no expense whatever,
1t would seem the part of wisdom to accept
1t with thanks. The enterprise is of ma
tional Importance, and its early consumma-
tion is earnestly to be desired in the inter-
est Of an improved traffic arrangement at
one of the greatest terminals in the coun-
try.

The effect Of the decision will be to
require dealers that have been using
that form Of contract to reconstruct
their blanks. 70 the extent that II will
stand a legal test There are several
forms OF conracts in use in this state.
and the decision does not reach a
great many. for the reason that they
comply with all legal requirements in
that they are binding on both parties
and can be enforced.
The contracts used by Lilienthal
Bros. and other firms in business in
this city. are reported TO be legally
binding ON both parties. and are com
petent to stand all legal tests. In
speaking Of the decision, n. j. Often
