It seems that a poor stenographer
is now held accountable for much of
the wisdom upon which Debs built his
famous record. The trouble is the
fame the stenographer built for him
was only to be fully enjoyed in case
of success, and having failed in his
plans and purposes, the next best thing
is to deny them as far as possible.
In looking the situation squarely in
the face at Washington, as regards the
possibility of Democratic harmony on
the tariff and revenue questions, we
must admit that it would look more
hopeful if they would drop the clubs
and brickbats they seem to be carry
ing for each other, so that in time of
war they could come nearer prepar
ing for peace than they seem to be.
About as good a cartoon as we have
teen for many a day is that to be found
in the New Yoik World of July 25th,
where the artist puts the President and
Senator Hill in the same bed. At the
loot of the bed, marked " tariff ques
tion," he gets off the following collo
quy: Said (irover to 11111 1 What 1 You backing
my bill?
I wouldn't have thought that of you 1"
bald David to Urover: "Let go hall that
cover :
I guess I'm a Democrat, too."
If the Democratic party has tried
and failed to fulfil its promises with
the people, as regards its promised
care for the masses as against the
classes in the matter of tariff reform
and income taxation, it should remem
ber that an honest confession is good
for the soul, manfully explain the in
surmountable difficulties to the voters
and appeal to them for more strength
in jt next Congress. This we might
prfeily term righteous policy.
In the great excitement over the
President's frank letter to Chairman
Wilson and the greater excitement
over the assault ot his senatorial friend
(so-called), and the wild astonishment
at defence of his particular senatorial
enemy, Mr. Hill, there seems to be
somewhat of a dearth" of Debs and
and Coxey news of late. Enough can
be culled from the Western papers,
however, to warrant us in reminding
the reader that they are still alive and
kicking instead of striking.
Debs now hits back by threatening to
organize a big strike for next year. He
should reflect upon the hang-over con
dition of the tariff question. The
country may be straightened up
enough by next year to bear up under
either the tariff issue or a Debs strike,
but to expect it to brace up under
both and unravel the ugly knots in
both the labor and the tariff questions
is, we think, rather more than the true
patriot would put upon his country.
It is to be hoped Mr. Debs will recede
from this position, at least far enough
to defer his strike until the tariff issue
is settled.
By the way, it should occur to the
sovereign power by this time that tar
iff reform is easier said than done with
a Senate full of millionaires. While
the Republican party never attempted
it never dared to the Democratic
party has thus far only shown a fool
hardy and weak attempt at it. But
for the backbone of President Cleve
land our protected industries through
boodle would have adjourned the
present Congress long ago and with full
instruction to remember that tr.e sov
ereign power only rules this country on
election day while they rule by force
of money the rest of the year, day
and night, and with no cessation on
account of Sunday.

Senatorial Courtesy
It is quite beyond our limited power
to fully portray the great educational
benefit that is likely to result from
the timely injection of a little Presi
dential honesty into the generally
deceptive body politic even the
comparatively austere and so-called
respectable Senate of the United
States. For tiie first, perhaps, many
will observe that the lower House is
representative of the masses and the
Scn.it?, cr upper House, is representa
tive and watchful of the interests of
the classes. Whether the founders
recognized the necessity for this ar
rangw.cnt will be fully weighed, no
doubt, before popular sentiment will
succeed in abolishing the Senate, or
rather in making its members elective
by the people. But for the President's
letter to Chiirman Wilson, the de
ceptive senatorial fixup of the tariff
bill would soon have reached him for
signature or veto. He could have
taken his choice and then assumed
the responsibility in either event. To
have signed the bill as anticipated by
the money-power and agencies of the
protected industries (who had no
doubt spent much time and money
in arranging it through our Senators)
would have been little or no improve
ment UDOn the MeKinlev tariff nrvl
I - - T v
to have vetoed it entirely on this ac
count wouia nave been all the more
desirable to the class thus specially
favored. Whether the President did
wittingly or unwittingly, certain it
that the decemive tricksters
is
trapped and exposed to the whole
country by the straightforward and
honest bhraseolotrv of the resident's
letter, and hence their great discom-
lort and vain glorious onslaughter upon
him. This attemDted decpntion of
the people who elect Presidents and
congressmen is now made too clear
for misconstruction UDOn their ri.irr
There are no doubt Senators now in
office (who have been there far too
long)who may in consequence of these
recent thrilling developments find some
little trouble about re.pWtinn
though their State legislatives, just be-

high exasperation and injured feelings
01 oenaior Gorman and the Senatorial
conference committee whn Hi id ves tri
all his questions which tended to throw
tne aeception upon the shoulders of
the President. Straightforward linn.
esty is hard to beat, while deception
must always be on the alert and in the
dark because of constant fear and
danger of exposure. If anybody has
Deen exposed in anyjhing deceptive in
this particular erjisode it will he
hard for the Senatorial conference
committee either jointly or several-
ly to prove that the would-be deceiver
of the masses has been President
Cleveland. To charge it all to his
third term aspirations mav rln as a
stab of the wiley politician, but it will
have little weight with the sober judg
ment of the sovereign power, since
they are not in the habit of granting
third terms to anv President The
cat is out and Cleveland opened the
Dag, mat s true, and they can't learn
too earlv that "honestv is the
policy."
Sovereign Power.
We have never known the Ameri
can people to fullv make ur their
minds to having a thing that was to
ue gotten tnrougn votes Dut.what they
have ultimately succeeded in getting
it. The failure of one political party
to fully meet the requirement only de
lavs the matter a little, that is all
The sovereign power is so used to
these little and frequent deceptions on
mc pan 01 ner statesmen that it rather
anticipates the casual "damn the ne A.
pie" from them. To suppose the in
dependent voter don't know when he
is tricked and deceived, is all wrong
and our politicians without regard to
party are Deginmng to find it out.
And to suppose the independent vo
ter don't know which of the parties
most nearly advocates the nennle'a
cause and interests is also a mistake.
We Cull the following from amnna
the mcst pungent and righteous re
marks of Senator Hill justifying the
auuuuc 01 tne rresident as expressed
in his letter to Representative Wilson:
"When Mr. Cleveland saw that
this senate bill placed a duty on coal
and iron, the oronertv of the rich and
removed the duty from wool, the
Eroduct of the farmer, he would have
een false to himself, false to his
pledges and false to his party had he
not called attention to the discrimina
tion and inconsistency."
Cheering word of fair prospects of
some kind of tariff revision reaches us
at last from Washington. It is the
upwiuu mac ine reiorm will
not nun mucn, and hence the possi
bility of its Probability this session
otherwise the probability would not
be so possible this session. We are
still of the belief that the voters can
straighten up this tariff difficulty. All
thev need to do is to know the Lind
of legislators and Congressmen they
cicct wun a view to helping tariff re
vision. Sicker horses than this have
have been cured in this country. The
ngut Kina 01 senators and Congress
men can be found.
From the Seat of War.
The Chinese troop-ship Kow Shung
carrying 1700 soldiers was recently
captured and sunk out of sight by a
Japanese war ship after' some resist
ance off the coast of Round Island.
It is reported that fully 100 Chinese
were killed or wounded before the sur
render. The Chinese boat was fierce
ly attacked and was entirely disabled
before the Japanese boarded her. All
save 40 of the 1 700 were either killed
or drowned, all her officers being kill
ed before she went down. Other
Chinese boats carrying large transports
of their troops to Corea, landed them
safely, however, and there is blood
being already freely shed in heathen
dom. God atone can tell the evolu
tion possibly anticipated and only to
be wrought out through this war.
This, after all, has been the terrible
medium of the past through which
barbarity and slavery have been thus
far permanently abolished. Should
this war now fairly begun be prolong
ed, terrible as it will no doubt be in
the many semi-barbarous cruelties in
flicted, it will be very apt to result in
bringing about more christianized and
ennobling conditions for the subjects
ultimately if not immediately upon the
re-cstablishment of peace.
The Coreans and the Chinese being
identical, the object of the Japanese
troops was to prevent their junction if
possible. In this, however, they
failed, for China has landed many
troops there already. The exporta
tion of rice and grain being al
ready prohibited trade is in a large
measure thus early paralyzed.
Whatever effort has been made to
have the United States act as a medi
ator between the belligerents has
thus far been futile, while it is under
stood that the good offices of the
United Stales would be most gladly
exercised to that end. Indications
are so strongly to the contrary, be
cause of the stubborn and warlike at
titude long since assumed, that war
seems inevitable and no compromise
will be entertained by either China or
Japan.
For instance, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, of
Bay City, Mich., accidentally spilled
scalding water over her little boy. She
promptly applied DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve, giving instant relief. Its a
wonderful good salve for burns, bruises,
sores, and a sure cure for Piles. W.
S. Rishton, Druggist. tf.
A million dollars appropriated for
exterminating weeds, thistles, &c, is
regarded with some ridicule by certain
well-to do publishers who have naught
to say about wasteful extravagance in
other directions where two or three
times that amount is worse than
wasted. If a million dollars will be
paid by this Government for extermi
nating thistles, &c, in the interests of
farmers, the poor man and not the
rich will reap the advantage of the ap
propriation, no doubt. But we must
admit it to be a little contrary since
the bulk of our national appropriations
go toward the propagation and not the
extermination of nuisances which pre
cedent alone has sanctioned without
pretending to justify.
The competition of electric cars
and bicycles is already noticed and
felt by railroads. In a few years the
passenger traffic of railroads that run
parallel with well kept roads over
which the little bicycle can travel
will be still further diminished. And
small packages heretofore sent by
express, many of them, will also reach
destination by foot-power instead of
steam. Small as this little propeller
is, it is working a revolution already
lelt by railroads. When patents expire
they will be very cheap, no doubt.
