The Bailey Tariff Plank.

Nv adopted by the Texas democrats in

southern newspaper printed where raw
materials are abundant has had word
of praise for 1t, but the great reformers.
with but one exception have not yet
found their voices.
Mr. Bryan has been driving At the
liquor trafiic in Nebraska. and that prob
ably delayed his notice. But with his
first leisure he gives Mr.. Bailey's latest
deiiverance attention. He does not Ike
It little bit.
Mr.. watterson has been driving at the
prohibitionists In Kentucky. His dictum
repeated with swelling emphasis
that no democrat can be prohibiionist.
But there are 50 many protests from his
readers. he Is kept quite busy trying 10
bring them around TO his point OF view.
After he has brought back the erring. or
bid them a sad farewell, or become con-
verified and gone over to the prohibition
lists himself he will turn to the tariff
as a pleasant relief. He knows and loves
the topic. and is very far from being q
Baileyite.
There Is. and will be. no general demo-
cratic tariff expression this year. Can
didates of that party for the House are
not bound by any common bond. In dis
tricts where the old Cleveland idea pre-
walls nominees are for that. In other
districts, where Baileyism has taken. or
is taking, root nominees are for the home
resources. Protection for raw materials
looks good to them when their constitu-
ents demand 1t.
AS may be easily seen. q House ma
jority elected on this go-as-you-please
plan will be hard to handle. II Mr.. Clark
Yields the gavel he will find use for all
OF his talents as diplomat and har-
monizer. democratic success will make
q general tariff bill imperative on the
House. Both the Clrvelandites and the
Baileyites denounce the Payne law. and
II put I'm power In the House must in
dicate by a measure just what form
tariff revision should take.
An attempt to straddle the question will
be perilous. The history Of the German
Wilson law is comparatively fresh. and
carries a fog-horn warning. Two oppos-
ing schools of tariff reformers met at
that time. prepared a patch and botch
of a measure. and swamped their party.
Can Mr.. Clark do what Mr.. Wilson of
West Virginia failed to do. and as a
penalty for his failure was sent into re-
firement? The tariff we have always
with Us. and 1t Is always q source of
anxiety and embarrassment.

Mistaken Mercy.

President Tart was unduly lenient with
the four West Point cadets who were
caught partaking Of q certain bowl OF
punch recently at the Military Academy.
These young men, in defiance not only
Of the specific regulations OF that fnsti-
tuition, but Of certain unwrftten laws gov
erning army behavior. mixed themselves
a beverage the component parts OF
which call for explicit description. They
took first Of all two quarts of milk, then
added one pint Of rye whisky, to which,
after thorough mixing, they added the
gratings of two nutmegs, half . cup OF
sugar, two lemons and the peel Of an
orange. For brewing and absorbing this
amazing connection they were sentenced
to dismissal, but the President. perhaps
Influenced by the youth and inexperience
Of the cadets, has commuted their pun
ishment to a year Of confinement to the
reservation and to two weekly tours OF
arduous sentry duty In full panoply OF
war.
Judging from certain military standards
these young men are not cut out FOR
successful officers. They are entirely
lacking In what has come to be regarded
as one Of the prime essentials OF military
efficiency. They have no sense OF proper
ton. They are deficient in judgment. They
have no taste for fiavors. no conception
Of the carrying power Of pro3ectiles.
They are experimenters. departing from
the lines of conduct long ago definitely
laid down by sage commanders OF men.
They are not economical in their use Of

Cholera in Europe.

In seeking the cause Of the cholera
spread in Russia, which is rapidly be-
coming a most serious international men
ace, officials at St Petersburg have
inclined to the belief that the infection
first was started from a band OF re-
ligious pilgrims who went frsm Odessa to
q shrine at Bari and then. wandered
about the country sightseeing after per-
forming their devotions. In their char
acteristic manner they violated the sani-
tary laws without restraint, one Of their
particularly dangerous practices being to
wash their clothes in the well buckets Of
the peasants. thus directly communicating
the drinking water.
This Is quite believable. Cholera is q
disease Of filth. 1t spreads. like typhoid.
In consequence Of the disregard Of GER
tain simple sanitary rules. One case
leads to another and to hundreds more

taken to destroy the elements OF the

are especially susceptible to the plague.
for they not only do not know OF its
real nature. but when told. in the COM
paratively few instances Of instruction
that British administration forces upon
them, that they must do certain things to
avoid the pestilence, they remain indif-
ferent, supported by q fatalistic philoso-
ply against which 1t Is well nigh futile
to contend with the arguments Of west
ern civilization.
The Russian cholera Epidemic has now

Whether the two outbreaks are from a
common origin or the latter has resulted
Il t. n
cult to trace these disease developments
In former times. when the great re-
ligious pilgrimages to the eastern sacred
cities were permitted without supervision
or regulation terrible scourges swept Eu-
rope from time to time. Now the sani-
tary laws are more vigorously enforced
against even the holy places. and quar-
antines have done much to lessen this
grave evil. Still. with cholera always
more or less prevalent In the east and
commercial communications continuing
without interruption it Is remarkable
that Europe escapes as 1t does.
With cholera prevalent in Italy 1t be-
comes necessary for the United States
government to maintain the strictest
watch over all corners from that country.
The italian immigrants now dominate our
alien inflow, and unless the sanitary In
spection is kept UP at the highest eff
ficiency cases Of this disease are likely
to find their way here. There Is no
occasion whatever for panic, or even
grave apprehension. The Italian outbreak
Is apparently being well managed by the
authorities of that country. and the
quarantine organization here Is effective.
This IL the first occasion Of moment since
1892 that the United States has had to
guard against cholera, and the lessons
learned In that year have long since
been ofYicially applied to the strengthen
ing Of the barriers against the pestilence.
