The Tariff.

On the Pacific coast both sides are COM
planning about the Presidents treatment
of the tariff question in his message.
This is from the Los Angeles Herald, a
democratic newspaper:
From one end of the country to the
other there is and for some time Mas been
growing demand that the tariff laws
should be thoroughly overhauled-not by
the professional politicians in Congress,
but at the hands of a commission COM
posed of men who have made the subject
a careful study. basing their researches
On science rather than on considerations
of party welfare or the protection of any
special interests whatever

The DELAYED Stars.

The Star is now engaged in substituting
for it's former press equipment an entirely
new outfit of machinery. This change,
calculated when completed to permit the
speedier printing and delivery of papers.
is now at times causing embarrassment to
the publishers and annoying delays to
the subscribers. Owing to the eccen-
tricties of machinery, which sometimes
lie beyond immediate control, the two
new presses already installed are subject
to time-wasting accidents which result in
occasional delays in delivery. Every
effort is being made to overcome these
difficulties. Meanwhile a third press is
being installed, to complete the new
equipment. The situation in the press
room is therefore an awkward one. with
constructive work in progress while the
editions are being printed.
AS soon as the final installation is COM
pleted it will be possible to issue The
Star in much less time than heretofore.
The new presses have led TO the elmina-
ton of the supplement" or second part
of the daily issue over sixteen pages, and
it is now possible to issue twenty four
pages in one complete section. The time
heretofore occupied in "stuf1ing" or as
sembling the separate sections will be
saved, in the interest of the reader. 1t is
assured that as soon as the machines be-
come smoothed by use and the pressroom
equipment is completed, enabling the
crews to work without congestion and
interference from the construction and
erection workers. the printing arrange
ments of The Star will be infinitely better
than ever before in the history of the
paper
This explanation of the case is given
In order that subscribers who fail to re-
ceive their copies promptly may under
stand that the delays are due to unavoid-
able and temporary causes and are not to
be attributed to the delivery boys or to
any preventabie circumstances

Judge Gray and Availability.

That the democrats of Delaware should
be very proud of Judge Gray stands al
together to reason. He is easily the first
among them, and his rank is high, taking
the country by and large. Thomas F.
Bayard himself, in his best days, did not
exercise more influence as national
quantity. While Judge Grays services on
| the bench have been valuable. and doubt
less lie is well pleased where he is. 1t is
a question if the country did not lose by
his retirement from political life. He was
Il model Observation-Disclosures in committee
work, and. effective in debate. His ability
was SO large and his character SO high
no party division marked his power in the
chamber The republicans were always
glad to hear him. and felt in listening to
him that the other side of the case was
being presented fairly and in the best
form. 60 - > d
Still it was the merest neighborly ex-
travagance for those democratic commit
teemen at Dover Tuesday in presenting
Judge Gray for the presidency to say that
he is the safest, the ablest and the most
vigorous statesman now available" Safe
he undoubtedly is. Able he has shown
himself to be in every place he has filed.
And vigor appears in both his mind and
movements. But available? All things
considered. he Is as little available for the
democracy's purposes next year as man
could we'll be.
Observe. Judge Gray was a gold man
in 1886, and as Objectionable in the eyes
of the BryaniteS as Mr.. Cleveland him
self. He supported Palmer and Buckner.
He has never repented of his "heresy."
He never will repent. He could not be
brought to the Bryanite view of the
money question with all the kings horses
and all the kings trace chains. He is un-
alterably for the gold standard.
Judge Gray was a member of the Paris
peace commission, and while at the start
opposed to taking over the Philippir es, he
changed his views after a more thorough
investigation of the question and voted to
pay Spain twenty millions of dollars and
bring the archipelago fully under Ameri-
can control. 1t was wise act on his
part, but it required courage, for he knew
that the report of the commission the
treaty with SPAIN would be opposed by
his party in the Senate, as it was. And
when he was appointed TO the bench by
President McKinley the Bryantes charged
that the place was in effect the price of
Judge Gray's support of the republican
Philippine policy.
With such a record on two such promi-
Lent issues as silver and expansion, not
to mention the fact that Delaware is
wholly eastern in all her sympathies and
connections, Judge Gray. as his party
candidate for the presidency depending on
MIR. Bryan and the latter's friends for
election, would be worse beaten than even
Judge Parker was.

Denver.

Westward the star of democracy takes
its way Kansas City in 1900 and Den
yer next year. San Francisco should be
host in the near future. with delegates
taking their inspiration from a sight of
the Pacific ocean.
Denver is well chosen. 1t is a fine
town. with an ambitious hustling popu-
lation It's facilities for caring for a
big crowd are. sufficient, and no doubt
need be entertained that every effort
will be made to do things cordially and
in order. The winning was on merit.
1t is useless to discuss Mr.. Bryan in
connection with the subject. He is popu-
lar in Colorado. and will be nominated
at Denver. But he would have been
nominated anywhere. Louisville, st.
Paul, Atlantic City. Portland. Me-. or a
mining camp in Alaska would have suited
the Bryanites so far as the nomination
was concerned. There is nobody in sight
but the orator of the Platte. The nomi-
nation is good as made. Only the
platform is of consequence now.
Some of the discussion yesterday,
though solemnly INDUCED in. was posi-
lively diverting. Everybody knows that
it costs money to entertain "a national
convention. and that the sum has grown
With the interest that attaches to such
/ meeting. Cities compete from two
motives: First, the honor and advertise
ment, and. second. the increased trade
produced by the visitors. A national COM
mittee which should neglect to provide for
the financial end of the proposition would
deserve to be headed for a feeble minded
institute.
Well. Denver came forward with the
proper guarantee, and some of those pres
emit construed it as bride! They ad-
vised against acceptance for fear cam
paign material might be made against the
partyi But more diverting even than this
was the proposition that only so much as
might be necessary be accepted for con-
vention purposes, and the rest be devoted
to other purposes. That is to say, a hun
der thousand dollars for convention pur-
poses would be bride. but fifty thousand
for the convention and the other fifty
thousand for campaign purposes would
not be a bride. a hundred thousand dol
lars for convention purposes would be
bribe. but so much as might be necessary
for such purposes. the remainder to be
expended in a campaign for a United
States senatorship, would not be a bride.
And then everybody voted for resolution
Endorsing the so-called movement to re-
duce the power of money in elections.
Denver and Bryan call for good mid
die state or eastern man for second place.
Will it be Tom Johnson, or the other

las of Massachusetts? Or will a bait be

important a matter as the tariff to a
commission of experts. leaving the COM
mission to arrange matters and accepting
at the commissions hands whatever may
have been agreed upon
This is from the Portland Oregonian, a
republican newspaper with strain of In
dependence in its blood:
THE revision of the tariff is the great
est moral and economic issue before the
nation today: The people demand 1t.
ciples of justice demand it. Yet Mr..
Roosevelt dismisses this supreme ques-
ton in a paragraph"
AS no action was expected by this
Congress. maybe the President deemed 1t
sufficient merely to indicate his position.
That he did. He is in favor of a revision
of the tariff. and expects the work to be
done Immediately after the new admins
tration has been installed. If the next
President and the next House are repub-
lcan we should have a new tariff bill be-
fore midsummer in 1909
The important point of all IS that the
issue is assured of prominence in next
years campaign. Both parties will de-
clare for revision, the republican party in
a way that will leave no doubt as to it's
meaning. The day of juggling phraseology
has gone by. We shall have declara-
ton this time which will admit of but ono

lection to bestir itself about putting in the
