has outlined the democratic platform for
the coming congressional campaigns: tariff

scutt'e as to the Philippines Ii the party

a deiiVefance 1t will be a wonder, and sue

on the subject of the tariff Mr. Williams
Weakens his case by trying to trace 81
connection between protection and graft
Inc cry that protection is the mother OF
trusts is changed to the cry that protec

70 reason In that fashion it may be said
that prosperity is the mother of graft. for
II there were nothing to steal there would
be no stealing. Is 1t necessary to abolish
prosperity in order TO abolish graft? Shall
we destroy the house IN order TO get rid
Of the rats?
Assaults on protection are not good means
OF forwarding an intelligent and helpful
revision of the tariff. The one stands an

open to criticism for number of glaring
inequalities which call for treatment.
Why inture good cause by overstating 1t?
Why talk of destroying protection to cor

prosperity developed by protection has
brought about?
If the democrats control the next House

Ohio and Reform.

Ohio last November voted for reform The
legislature then elected adjourns today,
after q session OF several months. Nobody
can deny that the record presented shows
that reform in several important directions
has been inaugUrated. Passenger fares on
railroads have been fixed at cents a mile
A state railroad commission has been cre-
ated with power to regulate freight rates.
The saloon tax has been increased from
$3.50 to $1,000, and local option facilitated by
a new enactment. This increase, 1t Is es-
timated will close up fully six thousand
saloons In the state. And other measures
Of reform nature are on the books It
will be interesting to observe the effect on
the people. Already 1t Is promised that a.
campaign will be opened against these
measures, and the sense of the people on
them taken at the polls. Has tie reform
spirit come to stay? Anti-reform, there Is
abundant reason for asserting. Is always on
deck ready for action.

Mr. Barnes were legally citizen of the
District instead Of being a voter In New

be obnoxious to the District in the circurn-

Dowie and DoWieisrn.

The end Of Dowie seems at last at hand.
II must be admitted that he has had q re-
markable career Few men could SO long
have survived the spectacle he made or
himself in New York several years ago,
when the intelligence OF the town after
his first dellverance cut him dead. and the
rabble before he eft heoted him in the
streets. His language was foul, his man
ner theatric and extravagant, and his ap-
peal. when not disgusting, thoroughly silly
Ills failure, of course. was complete And
yet. although many of his followers were
present to witness the failure he returned
home to resume his sway over them and
their associates. II was an extraordinary
exhibition both of the mans peculiar power
and OF the slavish infatuat,on of those who
had come under his influence
And even now, although Dowie stands re-
pudiated. Dowieism remains. The men he
has taught, and SO long ruled. are still
pledged to his schemes, and will carry on
the work on his general foundations They
seem 10 think that his failure Is personal
and does not apply to what he has set on
foot and widely advert sed. And SCI they
eliminate him, and under a new leadership
purpose still further DEVELOPMENT of his
plans.
Strange as all this appears-for with
Dowie. one might think. his Utopia also
should fall-the present time holds out more
enlargement to dreamers than the time
when Dowie first began operations Dreams

sprinkIing them with ashes and sparks. The
smokers appear to regard the street cars
as their rightfui place to consume tobacco,
forgetting that they might Just as well
walk few blocks while they are smoking,
and thus relieve the platform congestion.
A correspondent whose letter Is printed
In today's Star suggests that the railroad
companies prohibit smoking altogether on
their cars. Sometimes conditions on the
car platforms are so bad that such a rule
would seem to be necessary. In some OF
the northern cities the cars are specially
arranged TO give the smokers chance to
indulge in their use of tobacco without
blocking the passage ways The platforms
are unusually deep and are provided with
ratings which prevent the smokers from
interfering with the free entrance and exit
OF other passengers. The smoking section
Is thus removed somewhat from the door.
SO that the smoke Is not so easily blown
into the interior OF the car when 1t is
stopped and back draft Is felt.
In this city the smokers have wide range
Of freedom in the use of the cars, and II
begins to look as though they were getting
more than is coming to them by rights.
The practice of carrying into the car a
cigar that Is sttn aHght. or has just lost
the last spark. to spread the peculiar reek
of stale smoke up and down the aisle Is
especially obnoxious.
Incidentally II should be noted that the
law against splitting in the cars Ia practt-
caIly a dead letter in this city today. The
car floors are constantly despatched and
conductors either do not or wifi not see the
offenders. A mild reproof on rare occasions
is all these unclean people ever get. Tn
fortunately the conductor cannot make
case without losing time The District needs
g. few special officers to ride to and fro on
the cars to give this municipal ordinance
force in the eyes of the people.
