Cleveland and Wilson.

Twenty wears ago Mr.. Cleveland
upon returning to power, put the
money question ahead of the tarln
question He was urged to reverse the
order but declined. Things financial
were in a threatening condition, and
financiers, especially in New YORK,
thought the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman silver act would
restore confidence and save the day.
Mr. Cleveland adopted their view, called
an extra session Of Congress for
August. and the fight began.
Instantly the combination which had
given Mr. Cleveland his second victory
party proper, the principal factor of
the combination. split wide open. The
silver democrats, feeling themselves
outraged and betrayed by the Presi-
dents course and message. revolted in
anger. and charged that Wall street
was debating the national policy
Senator Vance of North Carolina. a
vigorous and plain-spoken democratic
leader OF that day. closed speech to a
packed chamber with the biblical warn
ing: The money changers are in the
temple To your tents, O Israeli
Mr. Cleveland, with the assistance of
John sherman. the master financial au-
thority of the time, won the fight
though only after a bitter and pro-
tracted struggle. Federal patronage
flowed like water. A witty democratic
senator in opposition to the President
reached out his hand as page was
passing with the .'f1imsy" containing
the appointments Of the day, and said:

Suffrage and Militancy.

The woman suffrage congress at Buda-
pest has refused to take sides on the
question of militancy, passing a resolu
ton declining to express an opinion on
the ground that the constitution of the
alliance forbids interference in questions
OF national policy. But a leaning toward
miitancy, or a least disposition TO re-
gard it without disfavor, appeared in a
clause of the resolution which declared
that "a sincere revolution accompanied
by disorder had never been construed as
an argument against male suffrage"
This is the favorite ground of the adVo-
Gates of militancy, an attempted parallel
between the bloody fighting OF revolu-
tionists of the past and the lawlessness
of the miltants Of England The weak
Ness Of this parallel is that the women of
the English militant campaign are not
fighting according TO any of the laws OF
warfare. They are not trying TO tear
down the existing government and aim
ing their blows at those who are respon-
sibie for il They are trying to annoy
the ministers. 10 embarrass them. to
make them ridiculous. to provoke them
into reprsals and they are seeking to
infiict losses and suffering upon innocent
persons far removed from official position.
But they have never Yet attained the plane
o. dignified fighting. on which they would

now they awaken only contempt and
pity.

Let me see the list of today's brides.
But Mr. Cleveland had the business
sentiment of the country, democratic
and republican. behind him, and, so
supported. could not be defeated. But
the legislation he thus secured, excel
lent in itself. did not suffice for the
emergency Confidence was not re-
stored, and the country sweated under
depression and adversely during the
whole of his four years
Mr.. Wilson has put the tariff first,
and wisely That issue properly takes
precedence of the currency. So far,
too. he has imposed his own tariff
views on his party in Congress. and
present prospects are of a revision in
as the tariff is concerned, he is mas
ter of the democratic situation.
But there is a hitch over currency
reform. The democracy is divided on
that issue, and now, as twenty years
ago there is. a charge that Wall street
seeks to dominate Mr.. Henry of
Texas is in a role somewhat similar to
that of Mr. Vance of North Carolina,
though he does not charge that the
money changers are in the temple. His
accusation is that they are seeking an
entrance. and he calls on Israel to be
alert and keep them out. We may be
on the eve of row which will throw
the tariff controversy completely into
the shade.

The Alley Problem.

Last nights reception given by Mr..
Parsons to the committee of 100 citi-
ZenS now dealing with the question of
civic improvement resulted in a meet
ing of District people engaged in this
work and members of Congress and
other officials in a manner to forward
the movement for the cure of Wash
lngtOnS SlUm disease. Every such as
semblage makes for better under
standing of the problem and "A keener
appreciation OF the need of early ac-
ton. There is, of course no likeli-
hood of the passage by Congress at
the present session of any legisla ton
bearing upon this matter, but the time
can be we'll spent, especially during
the summer, when alley conditions are
at their worst, in studying the ques-
ton and seeking the best possible So
luton.
This is not a matter of making Wash
ngton more beautiful of graduating
unlovely places. or of the transforma-
ton of closely congested alleys into
parks and Fairgrounds. 1t is primarily
a question of providing cheap and
decent homes for the poor, and what
ever is done toward the correction of
day. the vitality important duty that rests
upon Congress and this community,
through public or private enterprise.
is to furnish facilities for sanitary liv-
ing to those who cannot afford to
spend more than SIS or $40 a month in
rent.
Much has been done here already by
the District people in the matter of
gress has worked toward the eradica-
ton of some of the worst alley slums.
but this work must be continued Wig
orously to carry the process along UNI
til there are no slums. until every resi-
dent here has clean. sanitary well
equipped home at a rent within his
means. This will be accomplished by
practical philanthropy governed by
business principles. unless the govern
nlent itself takes hold as landlord and
undertakes to furnish such dwellings
in lieu of those destroyed in the proc
ess of alley reclamation and trans
formation.
Washington's problem is NOT excep-
tionally a serious one, for it has no
large industrial population and it is
spread over a comparatively broad
area. It's dwelling congestion occurs
chiefly in these few alleys and minor
streets that are now the subject of
such an encouraging degree of atten
ton on the part of social workers and
members of Congress. The Districts
legislature has eyinced a gratifying
degree of interest in the subject, and
now. with the aid of members of the
federal administration who recognize
the opportunity here afforded to ad-
vance the development of the capital.
there is a prospect of a decided degree
of progress in the near future toward
the correction of this unwholesome
condition.

From the Chicago Post.
For four years the tariff as leglSla-

II in less time than it now seems likely
one or the other of these things can be
accomplished. From the start of the
present session the tariff bill has gone
along at a turtle pace. 1t is all Well
enough TO talk about the necessity or
careful study. of the right which affected
interests have to be heard, and to talk or
a lot of other things, but the truth re-
mains that there has been leisurely con-
sideration of the proposed legislation, and
that time has been wasted SO apparently
wilfully that there can be no question at
all about the intention to obstruct and to
attempt to tire out somebody in the hope
of a concession on this point or that
point.
