UNDER the leadership of Congress- man Burrows of Michigan the republi- cans of the lower house arc teaching the overwhelming majority how helpless it really is in the hands of a filibustering minority without Reed’s or similar rules UNDER President Harrison’s admin- istration the currency of the country has increased in volume by $205,000,000 or $1.75 per capita. The gentlemen who think the currency is being contracted should vot fail to note this trifling cir- cumstance UNLESS his weath Uncie Jerry Rusk manages erk with more skill, we shall all vote to restore the signal sorvi o the War department. The style of weather which Las been forced upon the people this spring can never become popular. Inrisn soldiers in the British army are not permitted to wear the shamrock on St. Patrick’s day. The order against wearing of the green was issued by War Secretary Stanhope, which relieves the eminent war secretary of all suspicion of statesmanship. —_— Tug Chinese exclusion biil has passed the house by a declsive majority. It will likewise pass the senate in all prob- ability and be signed by the president. The American missionaries in China can draw their own conclusions and gov- ern their movements accordingly.

He has turned it full upon them and every democrat as well as repub- lican will be forced to go on record for or against free coinage. . —— THE council has approved only the large outside tracts for city parks. This is right as far as it goes, but the men, women and children who have no horses and carriages are entitled to con- sideration. This city must have inside parks and the council canunot afford to ignore the pronounced sentiment of the people in their favor, CLEVELAND ON TARIFF REFORM Only a short time ago Mr. Cleveland wrote that he could not bring himself to regard a candidacy for the presid ng to be won by ps strife and active self-assertion, declaring that his views of that office “‘preclude the possibility of my leading and ing « self seeking canvass for the presi- dential nomination, even if I had eire to be again a candidate.” r- the », Cleveiand went to the sistan the democracy of Rhode Isiand. finding it, as hesald, “imy ibl to deciine the invitation to meet look in the faces of the men who n the place of honor in vaunce of the A al h m i battlefield next It of the election as somet! onal de- as ¢ of have been ad- giv toward isive of The res » Island which will probably exest some influence: but be it more Mr. Cloveland, ns an owed candidate for the presidential nomination, felt eufficient inverest to go there and deliver a hoid a reception.

If there 1mpropriety in the sclf-sceking southern trip of David B.

It was not a discussion of the tariff. It did not present any facts in justification of the d for weform.

It is easy enough to assert that the consumer has fouad life harder since the existing tariff law went into eTect, prac people will ask for the proof, and neither Mr. Cleveland nor other democratic tariff reformer has nt- tempted to supply it. The truth is that most articies of ccmmon use cost no more today than they did two years ago, and some are cheuper. Mr. Cleve- land said that pienty of mills and fac- tories have been closed, thousands of men have lost their cmployment, and we daily hear of reduced wages. This also is an rtion con 'y to the facts. atement confuting this nsser- tion of the ex-president may be cited report of the bureauof tics of the state of New York, ought to be familiar, y he is not. This port, issued, shows that the hours of labor have been de i in more than 2,000 faciories in that state in one year, and that the wages of labor have been advanced in 1nore than 1,200 cases nst 441 in which they have been re- duced. Is there any reason 10 suppose that New York is exczptional in this respect? Mr. Cleveland’s latest utter- ance on tariff reform #ill hardly arouse any enthusiasm in his party and it need cause the friends of protection no con- cern. rty, for the demc ythin, ¢ cau nted by M was i re- THE OPPOSITION TO THE PRESIDENT. Trustworthy advices from Washing- ton state that thz efforts of a few dissut- isfied politicians to organize opposition to the renomination of President Harri- son have praciic bandoned. The movement has failed because it had no just ioundation, no ground upon which a reasonable appunl could be made to the intelligent masses of the re- publican party to oppose the president. His administration has commended itself to all fair-minded men. It has been able, clean, practical and patriotic, No administration in the history of the country devoted more attention to American interests at home and abroad. It has done much to increase respect for the nation throughout the world. It has put into successful operation a com- mercial policy which assures benefits of the greatest value. It nas been sbund and safo in dealing with the financial affairs of the country. It has made a record in diplomacy that bas naver been excelled. It has administered the prac- tical business of the government hon- estly and on good business principles. An administration of which these things can be sad without qualification is secure against the machinations of politicians, whatever their position, whose dissatisfaction springs solely from their failure to use it in dispensing patronage for their personal interests, and most of the opposition to President Harrison comes from this class. Several of those who have been most active in organizing s movement against him have been unable to induce the presi- dent 1o make euch appointments 10 pub- lic office as they desired and to give them such control of patronage as would enable them to strengthen their own political positions, regardless of the in- terests of the public service. This is the case notably with the two Pennsyl- vania senators, but they are not alone. The solicitude of the president that the business of the government should be y been administered by thoroughly competent | and trustworthy men has disappoiated the plans of the politicians who had henchmen they bad pledged themsely 10 provide for and who may be necessary to their political future. The fact that President Harrison has ceclined to pur- chase the support of these politicians with patronage commends him to the favor of the masses of the party, for it is the best assurance 1hat could be given that if re-lected the country would continue to have a clean and busincss- like administration.

Frc a statement mude by the foreman of the grand jury it appears that from 37,000,- 000 to $10,000,000 are paid ennually to members of the pelice force by the vicious and unlawful establisne the metropolis to sccure immusity from the law, und the charge is made that this corruption extends to zil in the de- partment except the commissioners, againet whom no evidence was obtained. This is a disclosure which may well startle the law-respecting people of New York, and it is not a little humiliating to all American citizens to find that the police service of their greatest city is in this rotten condition, but what else could be expected from the control and methods of such a political organization as Tammany. The misfortune about the matter is that the evidence obtained seems not to be of a nature to warrant finding indictments against anybody, though if this were done the'e would be no assurance of convictions, since the courts are under the influence of the same unscrupulous administration. The most effective remedy will be found in a popular revolt that will drive Tammany from power accord- ents of AT THE last meeting of the Board of Education the committee on heating and ventilation recommended a pot-house politisian for appointment as janitor of the new Kellom school, the handsomest and best graded school building in the city. Under the schedule fixed by the board for the salaries of janitors he would be entitled to $1,140 per annum. The man recommended has twice figured in shady transactions in counection with school affairs. The first instance was one in which he sought toact asa go-between fora desk manufacturer, In the second instance he was involved in some conduct which the board deemed sufficiently scandalous to warrant the summary discharge of the superintend- ent of buildings. This individual dropped off the payroll with his chief and in the time which has elapsed since his former engagement has consorted with gangs of saloon bummers and traficking ward politicians ‘WiTH a superintendent of buildings at 21,800 a year, an architect ut 34,500 a vear and Matt Hoover, the Board of £d- ucation should be able to worry along without un additional building ivspec- tor at $1,800 a year, at least until the plans for new buildings have been ap- proved and contracts have been awarded, AN APPEAL for help for cye! ferers comes from a committee of citi- zens of Nelson and Nuckolls county.
