The Philadelphia Press Is beginning

have peace.
Over Cleveland's Veto.
Tho house could not without iliveet
pelf-Btultlflcatlon have refused to pass
over the president's veto the bill which
he had with exceptional ostentation
branded as dishonest. The readiness
with which yesterday It reaffirmed
Its orlRlnal enactment of the river and
harbor bill Elsnlfles more than a hurl
ing back of tho executive's accusations.
Its greatest Importance lies In the re
buke "which It In effect extends to un
warranted presidential assumption
covering not simply this one measure
but the Avhole recent trend of federal
legislation.
When the history of these times shall
be written In after years It will, we pre
dict, 1e put down opposite the name
of Grover Cleveland that more than
any other man ever honored with the
American chief magistracy he sought
to dwarf the prerogatives of congress
and to subordinate the whole govern
ment as far as he could to the dimen
sions of an autocracy. That In some
Instances his usurpations of authority
have been put forth for the public good
does not remove the fact that they have
uniformally been revolutionary and
unlawful. Never before has power been
bo reached for by an American presi
dent; never before, even In time of
war, has tho general attitude of the
chief executive toward the legislative
branch and toward the people been so
boldly and consistently one of delib
erate defiance and contempt.
In the opinion of Grover Cleveland,
office holding has not meant, as It
moans to William McKlnlcy, " the ser
vitude of the man to the mass," but
rather the subjection of the mass to
the man. Obstinate, opinionated, bit
ter of prejudice and strong In self-conceit,
Cleveland has come nearer to ful
filling the requirements of a dictator
than did ever Jackson or Grant. The
avidity with which congress has just
overridden his latest veto arises pri
marily, we suspect, from a sense of his
general presumption and only second
arily from an immediate sting.
The first number of the Real Estate
Journal, a sprightly six-page local
monthly publication devoted to the In
terests of Home Bites and home seekers,
has appeared, under the management
of B. P. Laudlg. The Tribune extends
to the Journal the compliments of the
season and trusts that it may have un
interrupted success.
The Worries of Europe.
Not only has the prospect of William
McKinley's election to the presidency
sast gloom over the frea traders, the
5ond shavers and the whole tribe of
mugwumps, but it haa also begun to
H'orry tho manufacturers of Europe.
The Chicago Times-Herald prints the
translation of un editorial from the
Vienna Tagblatt of May S which Is
both amusing and Instructive. The
Vienna paper expatiates long and pro
foundly concerning what, with very
un-forelgn-llke correctness, it terms
"tho almost dead certainty that the
creator of the McKlnley bill will be the
next inhabitant of the white house,"
and adds that "the mere name of Mc
Klnley, in Itself, when announced as a
possible presidential candidate. Is cal
culated to arouse the greatest appre
hension all over Europe."
"McKlnley," it says, "was sent to
congress as the projector and cham
pion of the high protective tariff idea,
and by his untiring efforts and con
stant agitation he succeeded In 1890 In
passing the bill which, when It be
came a law, had a most fatal effect
upon the export industries of Europe.
The working of the bill was not Inef
fectual, and nven In Austria, which had
a comparatively small per cent, of the
whole Import, tho suffering was se-
, vere. For tho mother-of-pearl indus
try It became an absolute Impossibil
ity to continue business with the Unit
ed States, which had hitherto been Its
chief customer. Many largo establish
ments failed and thousands of labor
ers In Vienna were obliged to hunger.
The Impression received hero by tho
bill was of such a kind as to arouse
the liveliest Inclination for the estab
lishment of an International union to
regulate duties." Indeed, the Tag-
' 1)latt blames England for tho failure of
the plan to bind all the exporting na-
;. tlons of Europe Into a collvereln for the
Imposition on American products of re
taliatory duties a circumstance watch
proves England's shrewdness in not
wishing to cut off her nose to spite her
face. It Is yet possible that before such
a union would be formed to dictate the
economic policy of the t'nlted States
the nations solicited to Join it would
stop to ask themselves whether taxing
Indispensable food imports from Amer
ica would hurt them or America most
The Tagblatt's conclusion is eminent
ly practical. "The European ftates,"
It says, "should at once go to work
to prevent a great Industrial crisis
which would Inevitably follow another
blow from American sources." There
la no doubt that this Is exactly what
tlicy should do. It is a manifest Ehame
that the stupid and' vulgar money
grabbers of the United States should
wish to rob Europe of the pleasure of
doing America's manufacturing as ,
well as Us banking for It. These lnso- j
lent Yankees phould certainly be taught i
a lesson. What In the name of good
ness do they presume to Imagine they
are fit for except to be mulcted by the
money-lenders and clothed by the
manufacturers of the Old World?
It has been suggested that tho Re
publican candidates for congress in Lu
zerne sign a pledge not to spend money
for the nomination. The Idea is a gjod
one. If practicable. But it would not
'be ni'.'essary thus to rest the case for
cleaner politics on the uncertain bond
of candidates for office if the right kind
of men were In command at the pri
maries. For Shorter Campaigns
The failure of the recent attempt to
Induce the national committees of the
leading parties to call late national con
ventions bo as to do away with the un
necessary and costly extravagance of
long presidential campaigns has not
wholly discouraged the advocates of
this reform. On the contrary, the bat
tle will go on. An appeal will be made
from the politicians of the committees
to the Bober Judgment of the assembled
delegates, and President Cowles, of
the Cleveland board of trade. In behalf
of the national board, will personally
offer resolutions on the subject before
both conventions.
It Is unnecessary to repeat the well
known and unanswerable arguments
that call for shorter national cam
paigns. Not one tenable reason exists
why campaigns should not be short
ened. The refusal of the national com
mittees to call late conventions this
year was made In sheer defiance of
public sentiment, and rested upon no
better foundation than tradition and
the party heelers' thirst for lucrative
employment. But while the peculiar
conditions of this particular canvass
may reduce to a minimum the waste,
the havoc and the needless annoyances
of a prolonged conflict between the par
ties, It will not do to assume that all
future campaigns will, like the present
one, be determined practically before
they shall be begun. t
Indeed, the present Is an uncommonly
auspicious time for the registration of
a purpose to call future conventions at
a more seasonable period. Let the St.
Louis convention Instruct the next na
tional committee not to call the con
vention of 1900 earlier than two months
prior to election day, and the precedent
thus established will undoubtedly im
mediately take root. The plain people
of all parties want short campaigns.
Only the politicians rtand in the way,
and they will not stand there long.
The report that Colonel Fred Grant
desires to be vice-president Is plausible.
The position Is the next most honor
able one on earth.
Insurance Evils.
In his annual report for 1895, which
has Just been made public, Insurance
Commissioner Lambert devotes space
to an uncommonly Interesting and val
uable consideration of that most fruit
ful source of evil in connection with in
surance, the assessment plan. There Is
evident need, In his Judgment, of legis
lation in Pennsylvania that will confine
assessment companies to a purely assess
ment business, and not leave some of
them free to Inveigle people into assess
ment contracts under false pretenses.
Tho commissioner does not try to dis
guise his feelings in reference to those
companies which permit their agents to
resort to questionable expedients in
the pursuit of premiums. Says he:
"The aim Is to make people believe
that these companies are not assess
ment organizations, there being a nat
ural timidity about entering Into a con
tract the cost, of which cannot be cal
culated, and which may have no limit.
People are told they are not taking an
assessment policy; that the payment of
a fixed premium is all that will be re
quired, and the policies are worded with
such dexterous obscurity as to make
this appear to be the fact and at the
lame time really provide for future as
sessments. Plenty of people to their
sorrow have been caught in these traps,
for traps they are, ingeniously and de
liberately constructed. It would be
mere trifling and a misuse of the Eng
lish language to speak of these things
with less directness. The law does not
authorize the transaction by assessment
companies of the kind of business In
which so many of them are engaged.
Nor docs the law prohibit It to such a
degree of expllcltness as would enable
the department to employ , sufficient
means to protect the people from a
most dangerous Bubterfuge." Hence
the commissioner calls upon the legis
lature for more specific and definite
legislation. He especially desires that
all companies chartered as assessment
companies be compelled (1) to use the
word "assessment" In their titles; (2)
to state In their applications, policies
or certificates that they do business
only on the assessment plan; and (3)
to confine their activities along these
lines.
The fact that some assessment com
panies are straightforward and honest
does not obscure the other fact that un
der present conditions the assesmcnt
plan offers an inviting retreat to knav
ery and deception. The public, which
Insists upon stringent state supervision
of straight-line insurance companies,
should be equally prompt to demand
that there bo no abatlon of this legal
vigilance In the case of assessment or
ganisations. What Is sauce for the
goose should bo an entirely proper con-
dlment to set before tho gander.
- The report is repeated with generous
dressing of detail that Mr. Cleveland's
opposition to belligerency recognition
for Cuba rests upon the hope that he
may be successful in negotiations with
Spain looking to the concession of ad
ministrative reforms to Cuba. If this
really be true, somebody ought to pre
sent the president with a marked copy
of Cuban history showing what Span
ish promises of reform amount to in
fact.
The platform of John P. St.' John's
new National party calls for Prohibi
tion, female suffrage, free coinage, the
cancellation of government land-giants
to corporations, government ownership j
of telegraphs, telephones and other na
tural nionuploies, an income tax, a
reciprocal tariff system, the atolitlon
cf convict labor, the preservation of the
Sabbath, the " restriction of public
school funds to secular schools, the elec
tion of presidents, vice presidents and
senators by popular vote, adequate pen
sions for ex-Union soldiers ard a!lor,
the adoption of the initative and refer
endum and a few dozen other things
which in the haste of catching the mails
were left over to a mare opportune ssa-
son. Proposals will doubtless be re
ceived for the sheltering of additional
"Isms" to order.
Several of tho Democratic journals
that have hitherto been very forward
in voluntering to run Republican af
fairs as they Imagine th?y should be
run have begun to discover that there
are matters In connection with the
Democratic outlook which r.eed atten
tion; for instance, sliver. It amuses us
to see how these contemporaries are be
ginning to perspire, especially the
Democratic organs thut defend gold.
Ambassador Bayard has just been
honored by Oxford university with the
degree Of Doctor of Civil Law. It is
regrettable to think that while a com
pliment like this Is Justified on Intellec
tual grounds, its recipient should at the
same time be notoriously deficient In
common respect for the country' he
serves.
According to Bishop McCabe, Meth
odism gives annually to the purposes
of religion $24,000,000, or enough to re
produce each year the great White
City of the World's fair and hav
$4,000,000 left for pocket money. And
yet some folks affect to believe that
Christianity Is losing its grip!
It Is reported that Senators Gallinger,
Burrows and Lodge have privately ex
pressed fears that If McKlnley Is nom
inated on a gold platform and Boles
or some other personally clean Demo
crat on a silver platform, Republican
chances will be rendered dubious. We
do not believe It.
The voluntary placing, by the Na
tional Park bank of New York, of
$1,000,000 in gold In the government sub
treasury last week was an action pleas
ant to contemplate. Be It gold or silver,
money Is practically useless when
locked up, away from the uses of busi
ness. If anybody feels that he cannot be
accommodated In any one of the dozen
or fifteen political parties at present in
the field with, presidential Intentions,
now is the time to start a new one.
Starting new parties Is easy and harm
less. -
We join with the Philadelphia Record
In favoring an additional tax of a dol
lar a barrel on adulterated beer. But
we don't favor such a tax as an artifice
with which to forestall adequate protec
tion to American industry.
Of course, Mr. Harrity would like to
have the Democratic party occupy a
right position on the money question,
but, right or wrong, he means to stick
to It, a feat of loyalty as touching as It
is worthless.
Chairmen Harrity and Carter, whose
respective parties are going directly
counter to their individual monetary
beliefs, might help each other out by
agreeing to swap places.
It can hardly be that Hon. "Jack"
Robinson Intends his present pervad
ing silence to assume a permanent
phase,
REED IN A DILEMMA.
Wellman, in Pittsburg News.
There is a great deal of discussion In
Washington as to whether or not Bieakr
Heed will accept the vice-presidential
nomination in case the Republican nation
al convention proffers him that honor. He
himself says nothing, but hi friends talk
freely, expressing various opinions. The
best that can be said at this time is that
the speaker has not made up his mind con
cerning the vice-presidency. Ha does not
want it. It is not a place which appeal
to his ambition In any way. Yet he may
decide to tuke it in cnne the party drafts
him. He does not view the suggestion with
the scorn and disgust which some people
have supposed. He does not look upon the
vlce-prcsldentlal talk concerning himself
as an insult, as, indeed, there is no rea
son why he should. As nearly as I can get
at the heart of the case, the friends of the
speaker and Mr. Reed himself have given
up hope of his nomination for first place in
the Si. Louis convention. But Mr. Reed
has not by any means abandoned his am
bition to be president of the United States.
He is only waiting anil tryiog to shape his
present course with that objective point in
view. Conslderng that he still has white
house aspirations, the speaker now has be
fore him three courses from which to
choose. These are:
First To come back to the house as the
member from Portland, seek re-election to
the epeakerahlp, and continue business at
the old stand.
Second To retire for a time from public
life, go to New York city and take up
the practice of law with a. view to the
rapid acquirement of a fortune, and also
to mingling ultimately in the politics of
that state, and .perhaps becoming the New
York candlduto for the presidency In WOO
or 1SHM.
Third To accept the vice-presidential
nomination, in case the convention thrus'.s
It upon him, go to the senate and endeavor
to make a record there.
II II II
Between these three suggestions the
speaker hesitates. As to theflrst, It Is
likely it would be his choice without muoh
further discussion if he were only assured
of the speakership of 'the next congress.
But he Is not. While the probabilities are
he could be re-elected It Is admitted by the
speaker's friends that he has made many
enemies during the past winter. In carry
ing out his policy he has found it neces
sary to offend a great many Republican.
Mr. Reed Is not as strong a leader now as
he was nt the beginning of the session.
No one can tell how great the opposition
to his re-election might be. It might easily
become large enough to end In his over
throw, and to como back to the house and
fall to secure the speakership would be a
great humiliation, an unfortunate ending
of a brilliant career. Even If successful ill
obtaining the speakership for another con
gress, Mr. Reed now knows that the
speaker's chair is not the most advantage
ous 'place from which to pursue the presi
dency. A speaker muM necessarily make
more enemies 'than friends. Ho is con
stantly surrounded by pressure of a thou
sand sorts, and he must set his face
against nnleteen-twentleths of It. The life
of a pueaker of the house l.i described by
one of Mr. Reed's most Intimate friends
us an approximation to hades on earth.
Ha knows no rest, no peace. They are
after him all the time. They waylay him
on the street. Invade his rooms at aia
hotel. besiege him at the capital. "The lit
tle bill" arl always In evidence. Mr.
Reed has tired of thla sort of thing, and
it Is question with him whether the
game is worth the candle.
II jl 11
The second proposition appeals strongly
to Mr. Reed. He la a poor man. Probably
$15. or Sau.OOO would cover all his earthly
pcraesslons. He wants money with whien
to be Independent, with which to assure
the future of his family. He has been told
tha he could earn 830.000 or I'lO.OUO a year
If he were to go to New York city and
practice law. He Is advised that he could
do this, too, without dropping out of the
public notice. The experience of Roscoj
Conkl'.ng U constantly held before his
eye Ly those friends who want him to
adopt this course. Mr. Conkllng made
monry rapidly and could easily hnve r,
turre,) to 'oH;Il-h had he desired. The ar
gument Is that In a few years Mr. Reed
could acquire independent menns, and
tlitn Ly identifying himself with New
York poitli-s h might reach the presi
dency through the commandini: influence
which the Km pi re state holds in the na
tion. He would rot ferf.Mt the sunport t
Maine trd some of the other New Kig'anii
mates. Mrs. Heed, who does not l!ka pub
lic life, is using her influence in fa.or of
tMs course, nnl it H considerable. I'mll
within the lnt ten d.iys the probabilities
have stemed to favor a decslon in favor
cf temporary retirement from the political
nrena.
II !! II
Of lato. however, it Is discovered that
Mr. Reed has Inoked with moro favor upon
the vice-presl lent'.Bl scheme. Kvery one
here says that unless Ueed does something
to stop it the national convention will
nominate him by acclamation, and some
of the speaker's most intimato friends
have about reached tho conclusion that he
w... not stoo it. While he is not anxious
for the place he could accept it as evi
dence of his devotion to the party. He
cculd place it upon tho basis of obeying
a command rather than as a thing which
he had desired. No doubt this would be
wholly correct. Nor can there be jnny
doubt that the party at large would ap
preciate tho motives which might InUuca
-Mr. Reed to sncrlllco his pride to some ex
tent In order to go upon the ticket, I:
would popularize him Immensely. As t
candidate for vice-uresldent he could
stump the country, thus getting nearer to
the people and loohln? to the future. As
vlce-rresldent he might easily contrive
to effect some reforms or changes in the
senate along with the Republican matorttv
which that body will have after March
next, and in this way broaden his reputa
tion and appeal mice more to the admira
tion of the people. These are things lan
speaker Is thinking about.
