can majority be likely to resist a de.
mand for tariff reduction backed up
by Democratic president and a Dem.
ocratic house? Could the senate be
depended upon to stand as bulwark
against Democratic tariff tinkering?
Frankly we say there is much rea-
son to doubt. The senate now stands:
Republicans, 81; Democrats, 80; Re-
publican plurality of "a. Allowing that
this plurality will not be reduced by
the changes that take effect with the
advent of the Fifty-ninth congress, the
votes of 10 Republican senators would
pass Democratic tariff bill.
Could the votes of 10 Republican
senators be obtained in support of a
Democratic tariff bill? Yes, in all
probability. Already more than 10 Re-
publican senators have shown that
they could be won away from protec.
ton In an emergency. And they were
won away by force far less potent
than that which would be recognized
in the decree of the country next No.
vember that the Democratic party
should be placed in control of national
affairs. Senators are very much given
to the practice of holding their ears
close to the ground. How many of
them would hear in Democratic VIC
tory this year the country's command
that the tariff be forthwith revised? AS
many as 10? Yes, and more than IL
we confidently believe.
There is much ground for the firm
belief of the Cincinnati ENQUIRER that

though the Democrats should succeed
in electing president, vice-president

obviously intended as bid for the
votes of those inclined to look upon a
democratic victory without dread or
apprehension. Will it be, ought it to

the business interests be treasured

We find in recent editorial in the
Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading Demo-

following significant remark:

entered the section house occupied by
Japanese laborers on the Oregon Short
Line railway, just south of town, and
attempted to hold up the men.
While they were parleying with the
men the daughter of Section Fore.
man Fitzgerald called for help and
summoned Deputy Sheriff Sweet, who,
on arriving, was joined by her father
and the two men went to the section
house.
They were met at the door by one of
the desperadoes, who, with revolver
in his hand, beckoned Sweet to come
in. Sweet stepped up the stairs to the
door when the fellow raised his gun
and fired. So close was the gun to the
sherirts face that the powder black
ened his forehead. The bullet entered
the temple just above the eyes, inflict-
ing fatal wound, from which he died
in about an hour, without recovering
consciousness.
AS the body of the sheriff fell into
the room the murderer sprang over it
and with an oath started after Fitz-
gerald, who ran for the section house,
q short distance away, which he
reached, locking the door after him.
After firing two shots through the
door, the desperado, giant in stature,

his gun, and then beat him

The two men then jumped through

This appalling loss of life and main.
