WHITNEY'S PLAN.
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. '- ' 's
