IF IT COULD BE DoNEl

Senator Gore Of Oklahoma has made
suggestion that ought to be distinctly
popular with the public, if he will pro-
vide some means for carrying 1t out.
In talking about the tariff, and the
high prices of the necessities OF NV
ing, Senator Gore proposes that every
article be tagged with its price, plus
the tariff, and also its fat price, with
out the additions made necessary by
the tariff He thinks that thus every
BODY could make his purchases enlight"
en- his mind upon the tariff question.
Senator Cores proposition would be
enlightening indeed If it should be put
into effect; but there is the rub, When
goods are dutiable, the tariff is i'm
posed upon every article in bulk, and
in order 10 carry the duty into the
small purchases by retail, intricate
computations would have to be made
to get the application Of the customs
payments, and the tariff duty would
be practically lost in the multitude Of
subdivisions that would be required.
And then, how would it be with re-
spect to articles upon which there ls
no tariff at all. like coffee and tea 7
One buying coffee pays 40 10 10 cents

pound. a few wears ago the wholesale
price was about cents a pound, and
the retail price 40 cents. We do not

duty shows sucu wide margin be-
| tween the wholesale price and the price
to the retailer: 200 per cent and more

II this information were 10 be com

precisely as we have contended right

GLEE AND RAGE.

Berlin is much uplifted, and London
eorrespondingly enraged by differences
drawn from the recent flight of a
Zeppelin balloon. The airsbip Vic
toria Louise has recently made a nine.
hour flight over the North Sea. Re-
port says that the speed Of this balloon
js 4j miles an hour, and that she has
full capacity in gas storage for con
tnuous flight at this rate for more
than "a hours. Accordingly, her radius
of action, or the radius Of action of
any airship OF the same class. would
easily extend from Hamburg to Lon
don, and from Enden to Bristol; that
IL. il would be practicable at any time
for German war balloon of this char
acter TO attack almost anv portion Of
England from the air, and England
would be absolutely helpless as against
such an assault.
The practicability of such an attack
is held to be demonstrated by the
flight of this airship, Accordingly,
Berlin is jubilating over the flight. and
the English people are correspondingly
wrathful and resentful. Of course. il
is not in the least likely that any such
war raid is to be made, and yet the
possibility of it stirs up the enthusi-
astic German peoples in way that
might easily lead TO war. Yet posi-
bilities are not always practicabilities,
and the Zeppelin airships have proved
| excessively uncertain and subject to

destruction in making practical flights
None of them lasts very long, and al
of them are subject to annihilating ac
cidents; but so far as appearances go
that is about nil the consolation tho
English people can draw from this test
for undoubtedly the balloon might dc
what the Berlners claim; and if it did
there would be CONSERVATION and
wrathful protest from the British Gov
ernment. but those protests would be
in vain in case OF any serious compll
cations; for il is not in the least TO be
expected that Germany would disarm
herself of the advantage TO be gained

SHOULD BE NO GALLERIES.

The experiences of the two great con,
ventions this year ought to convince
the party managers that the day of the
gallery has passed its tolerance, and
that II is their duty hereafter to insist
that there shall be very limited space
for onlookers, or none at all. The
work of both conventions was repeated
ly interrupted by demonstrations from
the galleries which stopped proceed
ings, and the shouts and yells of the
spectators undoubtedly had an irritat-
ing effect upon the delegates.
1t seems to be a clear case that both
conventions would have got along with
much less friction and with greater
speed in their work, if there had been
but few or no spectators. The conven-
tion hall necessarily has to provide for
the delegates, alternates, and the press,
aud certain distinguished members Of
the party which is holding the coDven-
ton, but to throw the convention open
TO thousands Of spectators whose en-
thusiasm, OF friendliness toward one
candidate or another cannot be re-
pressed, is surely a great mistake.
The lessons of the conventions of the
present year seems to be conclusive up
on this point, and it is likely that the
conventions of the future will be held
by the delegates, and not by ten or
fifteen thousand clacqucrs and onlook-
ers. who really have no business in the
proceedings, but whose presence gives
them a sort of unofficial voice or side
influence which has no place whatever
| in~the convention, and which the con
vention would be far better without.

Salt Lake City is made ridiculous bv
the reversal of the municipal policy
and clairyoyants. An ordinance passed
recently imposed the usual license on
those who pursue this sort OF practice,
for pay; but now the commission sets
aside that license and allows any who
will, TO engage in this form of money
getting, without license fee. II is a
most extraordinary bit of lunacy, hard
TO account for.

We have read carefully the account.
telling OF the resignation of Mr., A
Platt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury. and his charges against
Secretary MacVesgh. II is our candid
opinion from that reading, that il is
more a matter of personality than OF
pubic interest, that moves Mr.. Andrew
! To the resignation and to writing the
indignant letter of protest and accusa-
tlon winch he sent 1t appears evil
dent on the face Of it that the matter
is largely. If not chiefly, personal. Mr..
Andrew specifies particularly that he
Is not well treated by Secretary Mac
! Veagh. that he does not even get TO
sec or talk with him, and that his writ
ten communications to the Secretary
have been treated with contumely and
| neglect. When we read that much or
what Mr.. Andrew complains about has
| been going on for two years. we would
suppose that he would have resigned
| long ago, if the resignlng was the
proper wav 20 preserve his self.respect;
and vet he has held on to his office for
| two wears under the sights and Indlg-
mites which he claims the Secretary
has imposed upon him.
The elimination of the bitter differ
ences between Mr.. Andrew and the
Secretary came whom Mr. Andrew in
sisted upon going to Chicago to help
frame the Republican platform, and the
Secretary did not wish him to go. He
went. in spite Of the opinion of the
Secretary that he should not go, and
accordingly his resignation was asked.
Naturally enough. this would be the
that Mr.. Andrew would rctaiate in the
most effective way he could, upon the
Secretary. This way has invited an
other investigation by the Democratic
House, and this investigation undoubt-
cily will be conducted so as TO make
the utmost political capital out of it.,
and SO Mr.. Andrews bitterness has
opened the way for another attack up
on the administration, that is bound
to have some influence on the cam
paign.
Mr.. Andrew, therefore, puts his own
personal grievance above the party in
terests, and emphasizes it into public
concern. and to mean the interruption
of the business of the treasury. II
does not follow. Of course, that because
Mr., Andrew did not get things done
that he wanted done. that the treasury
business had come at any time to a
standstill on any proposition; and lit
looks. from Mr. Andrew IS own showing.
as if the Secretary had been running
the Department without the advice OF
the assistant or his help. Those per-
sons that Mr.. Andrew insists feel as
he does with regard to the Secretary,
do not support his opinion in this mat
ter at all; some Of them have emphat-
ically rejected it.
So we conclude that the matter is
more a personal antagonism on the part
of Mr.. Andrew against Secretary Mac
Yeagh than anything else; and it is
not to be expected that because Mr..
Andrew was not able to have matters
go in the Treasury Department as he
desired, that things are out Of joint
or ct loose ends In that department.
We should be very much surprised if
materially wrong should be
found under the Treasury administra
ton Of Mr.. MacVeagh.
