Recent actions on the part Of Repre-

mat he has practically abandoned the

President this year. This is the opinion
OF Mr.. Hearst's friends. as well as his
opponents. Since the California Demo

and after a hard fight. adopted resoIu-
items instructing for Hearst. there has
been very little doing in the Hearst
camp. Although he had a respectable

may cause some amusement and also
some chagrin, but his ideas seem TO

grumbling which has been half
heartedly INDUCED in by people in

pareDtly in the hope or creating dis
satisfaction with his acts; and as in
other instances, the grumbling has
come when it was too late to do any

Cleveland on Tariff.

Stands With German on Plan of Con-
servative Revision.
Certain Democratic leaders have
found fault with the tariff plank of
the Commanded platform adopted by
the Maryland Democratic conyen-
ton. The plank calls for tariff re-
vision, but says nothing about the
iniquity Of the protective tariff.
The discOncerung logicians of the
Democratic party say that there is
not enough difference between the
Marylauder's conservative revision of
the protective tariff and Republican
conservative revision of the same
protective tariff out Of which to
make fight on the tariff issue.
These academic reasoners appear
to be correct. but they are no less liza
bic on that account to be disconcert-
ed in their turn when they learn that
the man whom so many of them re-
gard as an inspired apostle Of truth
has gone so far from their field as 70
approve of Mr.. Germans plan.
The newspaper interviewer who
secured from Grover Cleveland an
Endorsement of the candidacy Of
Judge Parker makes this guarded
statement concerning a private con-
versation he had with the ex-Presi-
dent:
In regard 70 tariff reform, Mr.. Cleveland feels
That II It's expression Is sincerely intended d
declaration somewhat like that made bv Sans-
TOT German OF Maryland last week would meet
an requirements. This declaration was. IL viii
be recalled, that the tariff should be revised in
q spirit Of Conservatism, which while iufictinr
no injuries upon established industries wiz
lessen the burden Of taxation upon the people
by destroy ing the license which il is Inserted
monopoly now has to levy excessive tribute
Evidently there has been a change
in Mr.. Clevelands own tariff opin-
ions since he successfully ran for
President on practically free trade
platform. Economic conditions have
irresisdbly driven both the great
parties on much the same tariff
! ground, and the natural and proper
result should be in the course of
time to put the tariff where it be-
longs, out of politics.
/ Free trade never really represented
/ the sentiment of the entire Demo-
/ cratic party, for it was recognized by
! all except a vely few that free trade,
whatever may be its soundness as an
ultimate, was not practical under the
I conditions that existed twenty years
{ ago any more than it is practical to-
/ day.
However, it is noteworthy that
while free trade England is drifting
/ toward protection, just as assuredIy
is protection America drifting toward
/ free trade This is political economy,
but not politics. The people which
can make and sell things cheaper
than any other nation has a natural
/ protection which makes artificial
protection restrictive and therefore
/ harmful.

The presence in this city of five
prominent adherents of Governor La
Toilette, the pughaciOus Wisconsin
anti-machine politician, shows plain
" enough that his friends made no
idle threat when they said they in

whole should hear from them.
Whether the Republican party viii
listen is another question. The gen
tlemen are in Washington for the
purpose of getting a line on the Pres
ident, and until that is secured they
are doing no talking. But the Presi-
dent has already declared that no
power on earth can get him to mix up
il fractional fights, and he has a way
of keeping his word.

Cromwell Marley, be killed by the
bloodthirsty Raisuli, who has them
as prisoners in the mountains. But
inasmuch as this perturbation is CO.
incident with the arrival at Tangier
OF two American war vessels, il is not
wholly convincing. Raisuli is not an
inconsequential brigand, as some of
the reports concerning him would
lead one to believe. He is a conspicu-
Gus chief. whose district is well
known, who sends tribute 10 the Sui
tan of Morocco when he chooses and
pots the Sultan's soldiers from behind
rocks when he does not choose TO pay.
His tribe lives within a few DAYS
travel Of the coast. Moreover, Raisu-
Ii cannot fee, for enemies surround
him. and he is burdened with goods
and chattels. He captured the most
conspicuous foreign citizen of Moroc-
co, because by holding him he
thought he could gain both political
Independence and a ransom; but it is
a question If he viii jeopardize his
own neck when he finds out that he
is not dealing with the Sultan Of
Morocco. Raisuli will understand
force readily enough, and it is essen
tial that he and his kind all over the
world should understand, if lives and
property are to be secure in the fu-
ture.
