iimls thai a majority of his Democratic¦ sollates In the House of Representa-ives bave agreed to make It a partymeasure. Thla speech v. as made Saturdayweek, and contained the remark that

not since 1S5Ì have the American peopleever had pCOpoeafl to them such a Htnrt

in the direction of free and unfetteredcommerce as the Democrats would givethem. Mr. Turner, In the same speech,mentitine·! the fonate bill as containing

some material amendments "made for the

purpose of peace and unity In the Sen¬

ate." These aro his own words, and

signify that hi* will tiot make factious

opposition to the «Senate bill.Nevertheless, the tariff flsht Is not yet

ended. Efforts will be mal·« In the Hou.«e

of Representatives to strlk«» out the In¬

come-tax feature of the Senate bill, Lut

the«» will assuredly fail, tenta· that tho

Income-tax grows dally In popularity.Similar efforts will be made to put coal.Iron-ore. and other articles on the free

list. The» sugar duties will also bo made

an object of attack. Indeed, there is no

doubt that the Republicans in both the

Senate and t.ic Hornee will make a

desperate attempt to kill the Senate bill

and perpetuato the existence of the Mc«Kinley law. But the Democratic majorityIn the House of Representatives Is so

larg« that there ought to be no difficultyunder the House rules in passing theSenate bill on any day that may be

agreed upon for Its final disposition. The

vote will be closer In the Senate.What we have written Is based upon

the assumption that the Senate and the

House will art together In this mat¬

ter, and be backed up by the President.If, as tho Washington Poet Intimates

rather than states, the President has de¬

clared that he Is opposed to the Senate

bill end will favor a return to the Wilson

bill then the situation will be differentHut, we repeat, as we understand it,the Président and Secretary Carlisle have

expressed their willingness to accept theSenate Nil.In fact, as the matter presents Itself to

u«. the Senate bill or a new Mil must,at every risk, be made the law of theland. Ths Dmocrats of the House ofRepresentatives dare not go before thepeople with empty banda They must gocarrylBg a new measure of tariff reformfor the people to pass upon. They muathave something to show for the Um- andmoney expanded during the current Con¬gress. They must not be afraid to trustthe voters to Judge them fairly and im-pe*le«y. The country is rips for »Oemoitraüe harvest. Kothtag .tends inthe way of a Démocratie triumph ta No-

vember but a possible failure on the partof Congress to do its duty In the premise«.The Hmate tariff bill snd a bill providingfor a new International bimetalli«! con¬

ference ought by oil means to becomelaws, if we have these to «how for our

work, we need not fear the oppoeltlonof Republicana Populists, or Anarchists.

The Btrlke-Pederel Authority.It Is hardly worth while to examine

the Pederal Constitution to aacerUInwhether that Inatrument doee or doe«not confer upon the Prealdrnt of theI'nlled States the power to put downsuch riot« as those which have lor day«made Chicago the centre towards whichall eye« and all hearts wer·» turne·!.The Chief Executive« of all great coun¬

like many other pap.-rs, find« the powerto regúlate commerce among the severalState« to be the foundation upon whichnre based all the powers which thePresident needed to exercise In orderto put down the Chicago rioter«. That

It, in- order that there might be a corn¬

inoti policy, a common responsibility,and a common rule of conduct. Thenew theory may be styled Judge-madelaw, but It Is, nevertheless, the law ofth, laid. We have no doubt, however,that la the absence of the constitutionalprovision expressly authorizing Ostati ss

Compressed Air ve. the Trolley.A correspondent of tho Baltimore Bun,

writing from Wastftei 1, Mass., «ay« that

the Fourth of July was a gala day there.li waa the occasion on which the Ila·karaki ComprOaOOd Air Motor Company'scars were put to the te«t of practicabilityand profltableneon, We quote:"Three cars made each fourteen trips,

or fifty-six mil· s, and carried dui ing thoday l.S'HJ People. Tl,·· ear·, OTO ea.dly cii-

Taxing Greenback»,.The bill Just passed by the House of

liepresentatlves permitting or authorisinggreenbacks (treasury notes) to l»e taxedwas called for by a condition of thingswhich on Thursday a member explainedas follows:"The scheme worked in Ohio, and I pre¬

sume In other State» as well, Is this:

Money on d«po»!t In the bank Is taxableunder the law. On the day perhaps pr»*-vlou« to the taxing day. which Is the se¬

cond Monday In April In our State, a per¬son wishing to avoid taxation goea to a

bank and by his check, on a previouslyagreed arrangement draws out theamount to hi« credit in givenbaeks andcarries it away. He then makes oaththat he has no money or credit taxableunder the law."

When Chicago get« through with her

present anarchistic exposition «he willhave a pretty bill of damage« to pay-Hut, alas, the mulcting will fall princi¬pally on people who have In no wise of¬fended. It will be the tax-payers whowill have to suffer, and we guess thatnot many tax-payers have been engagedIn the werk of tearing up railroad track«,burning cars, and assaulting men whotook the placea abandoned by strikers.

The only fault that we have to findwith the Presidents proclamation isthat it la put forth from Washingtonexclusively In tho Kngllsh language.Not one half of the Chicago mob willbe able to understand It until It Ib trans¬

lated Into foreign tungu.s, and that willtake some time. There are newspapersIn Chicago which will do this work, buttheir versions will not be official andmay not be correct.

The late Carter Harrison may havebeen somewhat erratic, but he was s gen¬uine American, and If he were alive andmayor of Chicago to-day he would besure to sit down hard on Altgeldlam..Washington Post.The Poet is right. The people of Chi¬

cago tost a true man and a faithful andinvaluable officer when they loot CarterHarrison.

The Irat Shots fared by"

th» UnitedStates regulars during the present strike-

troubles were ttred Sunday near Ham¬mond, Ind. The troops ware en route

from Chicago to Hammond when at¬

tacked, and their Arlng was donn fromthe windows of a coach on a moving rail¬road train. Rut for this circumstance Itis quite likely that the number of killedand wounde«! would have been far greaterthan It was.

Ani there are tenmen la the Cnlted State« whose wealthIs «o great that the whole currency, innotes, could be absorbed by then» andtaken out of circulation. Would it not beheld by those who thought rightly on thesubject that this wealth had been madefrom the community, and ly Uie lal*orand .-kill of the employees of thosewealthy ones, and they In morals andIn law owed something to the wantsand needs of that community and those. mployeea?

If that be so, dOOO It not seem veryhard and cruel when we see a man, tayMr. Pullman, making in a very «hotttime $W,ijo0,0oi) or $.W,'».«J,0uO, and when pro¬fits become light, or cease altogether, ifyou will, shutting down hit workt. orwhat is about the «ame thing, reducingwages to a point that compel« those whohelped him to make his fortune to quitwork?There Is little difference In the two

eases. Pullman« UO.OOO.OOO la In some tan¬gible form, and he virtually say«: "I willemploy no more men. I will not carry onbusiness any longer. I have had to makecontracts at a loss." What of It? Wouldnot that loss be but a email part of anaccumulation which ought never to havebeen made In one lifetime? Nor would Ithave been made except for excessive pro¬fits, profits mailo great by legislation. Itis time we consider these things-fortune«of ??,???,??? in one «hort life; fortunesmade by government help, fabulous, un¬heard of In any former time; but let thetlmea change for the worse and thenthese parvenuea tightly grasp what theylightly made and declare they owe no ob¬ligations, either to the community fromwhom they made their mllllone of moneyor to the employee« through whose skilland knowledge wealth was gotten. Byexpressing these opinions I do not wishto add to any acrimony between wealthand poverty, but to call attention to aBentlment which will surely lead to trou¬ble, because It hoe done so In the pastin other lando.
