FOR CONGRESS-AT-LARGE, JOSEPH C. BUCHER, of Union. HANNIBAL K. SLOAN, of Indiana. Ex Speaker Reed, of Maine, has again secured a re-nomination to Con gress. In looking over Republican aspirants for higher honors it will never do to leave Representative Reed out of the list of most likely as pirants. Now that the Masonic 'order has taken up the fight against Congress man Breckenridge, having dropped his name from the lodge roll, the question of his return to Congress looks rather gloomy. In fact his chances to return assumed a bluish hue immediately after the close of hu celebrated breach of promise trial. The plague continues with un abated force in China. At some places it has increased until the mortality has reached more than one hundred in a single day. The natives as well as Europeans have found it policy to flee for their lives from Hong Kong. This, with a war with Japan which now seems inevitable, is rather doubling trouble for the relig iously deluded Chinese subjects. The Democratic Convention which convened in Franklin county on the 34th inst. was first to give expression of opinion upon the President's unique letter to Chairman Wilson, which is now the subject of discourse from Maine to California. This con vention with its one hundred and twenty delegates fresh from the people with unanimity and enthusiasm com mended his action and gave hearty endorsement of the views he expressed in that frank and honest letter. Mr. Debs now speaks out plainly from behind prison bars. He says " you're a liar " to those who affirm that he and his orders were only instrumental in spending large sums of money in vain money that be longed to the members of the Ameri can Railway Union. The good results are still quite apparent to Mr. Debs, who claims that out of the $25,000 in their treasury there is still $24,000 left. Besides he just got a present of $1,000 from Tom Tucker. How many States have we in the Union to day? Why, forty-four of course. You are wrong again ; for you forgot to count Utah, the pride of Brigham Young, the polygamist. Not withstanding this rather disreputable fact, the Utah star which will be add ed on our national flag will shine just like the rest at the commencement of the next fiscal year. And the man or woman who attempts to pull down the flag will get shot on the spot or some where else. At all events Utah is now one of us, making forty-five States, more or less respectable, now in the Union. There has been more or less politic al sickness and weakness all through the faint effort for tariff reform which was looked for in harmony with the expressed will of the sovereign power at the polls. And it now looks as though the doctors or Senators have about given up the case. As usual in very prominent cases, it almost makes the doctors sick to lose the patient And, sad as the bereaved ones may feel, the case has a kind of a hopeless look about it to other folks we are pained to admit. The trouble was the patient was allowed to go too long undoctored, and the high pro tective ailment became chronic. In Us ravages and sloughing off of the national vitals it now requires strong legislative victuals to effect a cure. Perhaps the humble voter can help to find a remedy; but perhaps not. Take the Sea Shore Excursion via. Pennsylvania R. R, August 1st. Searing the End. It has looked for some time to us as though the tariff bill must first be stripped of its essential features before going to the President for his signature. So that if he signs it and it actually becomes law it w ill not hurt our pro tected chsses much. That is the way it has appeared to us for some time. And now that the President deplores the attachment of the income Ux feature to the bill there is high prem ise of a fine muddle at the close of a very tiresome and vexatious MSaiun. This pUces the President so nearly in harmony with Senator Hill as to lead to anything but complimentary re marks from Senators who are dispos ed to think themselves fooled and who facetiously remark the attitude to be as the lying down of the lion and the lamb together in peace. While the likeness is perfect enough the perplex ing question is, as between the Presi dent and Senator Hill, which is the lion and which the lamb. If in weighing the matter the Presi dent finds the income-tax feature as objectionable to him as it is to Senator Hill and many others, he of course has his redress or avoidance through his power of veto. He could do nothing that would suit Senator Hill and the Republican party better than to veto the bill when it reaches him in this objectionable shape. It begins to look to us as though the people would l ave to try it over again before any thing like tariff reformation proper takes place in this country. That's the way it seems to us. We hope we are wrong about it. Senatorial Deception. In weighing the great political anomaly wherein the President's prin cipal assailant, Senator Hill, suddenly becomes his principal defender, is, we confess, a tangle that we can't quite unravel to our own satisfaction in the twinkling of an eye. It involves the query did the President come to Hill or did Hill corue to the President? For one thing (while never heretofore doubting the President's honesty of purpose) we must say that his celebrat ed letter to Chairman Wilson discloses to us for the first his opposing attitude on the income tax feature of the tariff bill Whether that objection on his part is to an income tax absolutely and distinctly, or whether it is merely to its adherence or attachment to the tariff bill is another unsolved problem with us. While the one position is barely tolerable, according to our no tion, the other is too highly objection able for popular applause or indorse ment, even though Senator Hill and the President of the United States can sweetly harmonize on it. We are firmly among those who believe that the sovereign power of this country has fully determined upon having not only tariff reformation proper (whether it suits the money power and protect ed industries or nort. but also unnn having income taxation upon febu'ous weami, wnetner it suits a President and Senator from New York State or not. There is not the least doubt in our mind, in view of the wholesome truth now revealed through a fight at head quarters, that the Senatorial plan was to " bunco " or deceive the President and practically defeat the essential features of the bill. The complaining Senators may, from interviews with the President, have been nermitted to delude themstlves and to carry the nope arm oenei mat he would finally sanction one more of the many de ceptions Congress practices upon the sovereign power in the interest of the more favored classes. Presidential honestv of curnose. actuated hv righteous spirit that should character ize tne true statesman, (who is never willing to violate his word of honor given before election) was, after all, we Deneve, tne incentive prompting the President's frank disclosure which has spread so much consternation among senators who meant to practi cally nullify the demands of the peo pie's Representatives in the lower House of Congress. We must franklv confess that the qutcome of the mud dle is bevond our eornnrehensinn nr conjecture, with the likelihood stronz- ij in iyui ui no tarin rciorm tnis session after all. For instance.

Senators by Popular Vste. , If in the particular case cf the tariff bill now practically defeated the Sen ate has not fully established its identi ty as an obstructive body in the direct pathway of the popular will, then we can think of no issue between the masses and the classes that is more likely to reveal this unwholesome fact. It is quite plain to the observant that the lower House can find an earnest disposition to listen to the voice of the people. But why. pray ? Just because the people can reach them directly, and are thus able to soon wrrp them back into obicurity from whence thev snrino- if thev An not obey. The House not only passes reaauy ana punctually upon the popu lar issues demanded, but it is even now lending the masses a helping hand to ward making the Senatorial position also dependent upon the popular will as expressed at the polls. Aside from such an isue as that of the tariff, the adjuster of commercial affairs between the few and the many.it is quite likely the Senate could have continued in definitely to lie back on its dignity without hearing more than a casual growl at its haughty indifference em anating from the people. Now the House has already passed a joint reso lution providing for the popular elec tion of Senators, just because it is in accordance with popular wish. A change in the Constitution will be necessary, however, to effect this in novation. Still there is but little doubt as to the result of the issue if it is once submitted to the people for determination. Comments upon the Presidents Letter to Chairman Wilson. Of course, the President's letter will be criticised as an interference with legislation. Of course, he will be attacked by the roistering Reed and the anti-Cleveland organs. But the American people like -frank, open talk, and there will be a general feel ing that if congress would follow Mr. Cleveland's advice, the country would be better off to-day than it is, busi ness would be more active and pros perous than ever and labor would find employment. The World. The President's letter will be the last straw which will break the back of pride and arrogance which the senate has raised in this controversy. York Gazette. It is childish to criticise President Cleveland. He simply told the truth in his letter to Chairman Wilson, and he did not present an argument that was not presented in the last cam paign by every one of the senators who are now endangering the success of the tariff by their devotion to petty local interests, or their nersonal in terests in private speculations. Mr. Cleveland s letter is simply an honest demand for honest obedience to the clearly expressed judgment of the nation. He does not tread upon any disputed party ground. He asks that zood faith shall be maintained with the people, and that is all. He Knows that the failure to enact an honest tariff bill must be disappoint ing to the neoole. and he well knows that the defeat of tariff legislation by speculative interests would be simply to invite a deluge upon the Democrat ic party.
