Whitney, who, aside from Villard, exerts greater ' influence over Cleveland than any other man in the democratic party, opposes the idea of an extra ses sion. Mr. Whitney insists that the democracy should go slow with the tariff. Working, impliedly with the approval of Cleveland, he is endeavor ing to persuade the present republican senate to give its assent to the -appointment of a tariff commission made up of business men, to take testimony in all parts of the country regarding the prob able effect of the alteration of the Mc Kinley bill. This commission would be appointed by Cleveland and would be a very convenient "anchor to windward" for the democracy. If the tariff changes based upon its report ehould prove un satisfactory, Mr. Clevelaud could say that he had acted upon the counsel of the business interests of the country ; and on the other hand if the changes ehould meet with approval, the democ racy could claim all the credit. A prominent republican of New York, to whom the proposition was presented, thus expresses his opinion : 1 don't think the republican party ought to go into the business of making peace for the democrats with the busi ness interests of the country. Every man with a dollar invested in industrial enterprise was openly denounced and at tacked as a corruption ist by democratic orators, and the democratic platform ar rayed our manufacturing interests as no better. Now, having inflamed the masses, and thereby won the day, they are ready to face about. I propose to let them get out of the dilemma as best they'can. With the southern democrats in the saddle tugging or one side and the Whitney conservatives on the other. Cleveland has no easy task. It is his business to find a way out, though, and neither the republican senate nor indi vidual members of the party should of fer bim advice. I am decidedly against the proposition. Of course this is the only view that the republican senate should take of the -proposition. The republican party has said that it considered the McKinley bill the correct, patriotic and scientific solu tion of the tariff? If the democracy thinks it has a better scheme let it enact it. If it does not know what it wants let it find out as best it can. A business man's tariff commission could throw no new light on the problem, and ' would merely consume many months of lime. The democracy talked during the cam paign as if nothing could be more in famous or burdensome than the present law. It now acts as though it has a profound conviction that it has a hard task before it in finding something in -the way of an inprovement. How to get an office is now the idea in the head of many good democrats and the statesman is often asked the best way to go about it. It is something of a secret, but for the good of the boys we will tell them tht they must first obtain their credentials and be qualified to run the office they aspire., to. They , then must get the foot of a rabbit killed on the grave of a coon when the sign is in the heart in the dark of the moon in the month of August. After that place their endorsements in a burglar pro-.f . safe, and the less they bother the county and state committees until after April next, the better show they will have lo get something. The official examination into Prof Briggs' alleged heretical utterances and beliefs is quite as much of a trial to the public as to Dr. Briggs. Why not elec trocute him at once and have done with it? The charges fill up thirty-six pages of closely printed matter. The writer evidently was not a newspaper man The charges could be edited with a blue pencil without any detriment evidently the east has recently been chilled to the marrow with ice and snow, while California has beeu the victim of a ter rible mud storm, but Oregon has only been bothered with the usual winter rains nothing to slow business in any way or to cause people to suffer from any 6evere cold. Governor fennoyer 8 troubles are doubled iip on him of late. It now turns out that Governor Ferry of Wash lngton, nas neotined to honor a requisi tion for an escaped criminal, which his excellency issued recently. The gover nor is out of luck on all sides what next? The monetary i-onferenoe is almost a failure, and anticipating an outcome of its deliberations, Senator Hill Las in troduced a bill for the repeal of the sil ver purchase act.
