The test can be made on free raw ma- .

A Kii KKiiKNCE of opinion in regard to
tariff legislation, says the Philadelphia
that may be readily reconciled
has sprung up among some of the Dem- i
ocratic nienilersof the coming Congress.
Mr. Mills insists that a complete tariff
hill should le prepared as soon as pos
sible, so that the Democratic party may
po lefore the country upon its principles
of tariff reform. Mr. Springer urges,
on the other hand, that instead of a gen- ,
eral hill the House s-hould pass special
measures pu tting wtol, iron ore, coal,
salt, lumler, cotton ties, dye stuffs,
chemicals ush.1 in manufactures and oth-
er articles on the free list. i
T, ,
There is not necessarily any ineon- j
sistency in these two lHitions. While
! putting a general tariff bill ujion its pass- ,
age, the House could pass and send to , unirtant appointments soon to U
., . , made, in place of the one smashed bv
measure suggested by Mr. Springer.
; While the Senate would l likely to de-
lay or reject a general tariff bill, a ma
jority of it's members might vote to put
i wool on the free list, which would te a
, great stride toward the triumph of tariff
j reform.
i But the country w ill expect the House
j to pass a general measure of tariff re
j vision. This measure, far letter than
' the resolutions of a party convention,
i would constitute the Democratic tariff
! platform in the next Presidential con-
test. The jnople would know front it
j just what to expect from the IX-mocrats
UjOn their return to power. Such a bill,
1 though it might not escape a Presiden
! tial veto if it should pass the Senate in
the "Fifty -second Congress, "vouhl speak
i for itself and for the Democratic party,
, and thus check the partisan misrepre-
scutatious of the aims of the party in
tariff legislation.

that u nQ juristiiction jt was on

solicitor general, apparently by a slip of
the tongue, alluded to a treaty with
Great Britain for the arbitration of the
Behring's Sea dispute. Justice Gray
asked a question concerning that treaty,
and the solicitor general, apparently
confused, said that he was afraid that
he had letrayed a state secret. Just at
this opportune moment the Attorney
General arose and dramatically stated
that such a treaty had been negotiated,
and that only the ratification of the Sen
ate was necessary for it to go into effect.
It was plain to be seen that the state
ment created a sensation among the
justices of the court, just as it was in

that the scene had been previously care

and the solicitor general, nor is there

etc., so that thc decision may te a gen
erally acceptable as possible. Every
Board of County Commissioners in the
State should fiend at least one of its
memliers to this meeting, not only to
aid the State Board in reaching the best
conclusions, but also to familiarize the
local Boards w ith the new election sys
tem. The Constitution requires the cities of
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Allegheny
to increase their voting precincts from
time to time to maintain 250 voters to
each as the maximum number, and pre
cincts in the smaller cities, towns and
counties are required to le divided by
the courts whenever "convenience of
electors and the public interests will be
promoted thereby."
It is important, in view of the slower
process of voting attending the new
election system, that both" cities and
counties should at once have their elec
tion precincts revised by the courts to
comply with the plain letter of the su
preme law in the chief cities, and with
its plain spirit in the smaller cities,
towns and counties.
The State will furnish the Commis
sioners of the counties wkh the neces
sary fixtures for the nuinlxT of election
precincts in each city and county, and
the fixtures will then lecoine the prop
erty of the county. The Commissioners
will be required to send to the Auditor
General, early in the next summer, the
numtr of election precincts in each
county, and lefore that return shall be
the precincts in the three chief cities of
the State, as the Constitution is manda
tor- in limiting the numlier of voters at
250 in each; but it is not mandatory in
the smaller cities, towns and counties,
and the County Commissioners should
promptly andean fully consider the mat
ter and have their precincts revised le
fore making their returns of election
districts to the Auditor General.
In many rural districts one-half or ,
more of the votes are caet between five
and seven o'clock in the e.ening, and
in some cases nearly or quite half the
votes are cast between six -aiul seven.
ThtT-e facts are known to the Commis
sioners, and they should so revise the
districts of their respective counties us
to assure the convenient (tolling of the
vote at such times as the jieoplt; are
mtst likely to attend the election.
The new ballot law has many imper
fevtions. moM of which are studied in
ventions to hinder or defeat the reforlns
aimed at by the friends of the measure;
but it is the la.v of the state and must
le executed as it is. Let the County
Commi.-sioners take prompt and
thorough measures to put the new sys
tem into operation with as little friction
as ioss'ibli', and the few gotd results
likely to lie attained will make it ptissi
