The caucus of Democratic senators. in deslffniaitlng the subjects of legisla ftton to be presented for consideration, omitted the free rnv material bills which passed the house ndar the close of tho last session. This is to be ac cepted b a virtual surrender on the part of the majority, so fir as any fnrthur .tiamnerlnsr wllth the tariff is concerned. It Is true that the "steering committee" was authorized to present lany oLltcr measures as It may deem Im portant, butt the action of the caucus plainly Implied thlolt a majority of the Demooralts present did not desire to consider the pop gun bills, and It Is to be presumed that tho committee will , not bring any of them forward. The wlsdkmi of thils course is obvious, and, therefore, the action of tho caucus Is to be commended. There Is no possibility ibbat any of these measures could be passed, with the exception, perhaps, of the bill to amend the sugar schedule, and even as to that there Is doubt as to What would be the result of bringing It to a vote. The proposition as it now stands In for a straight duty of 40 per cent ad valorem, but this would prob tably be antagonized by the Republicans, who favor free sugar. Tho Democrats cannot support free sugar, because with their tariff law there muat be a rovenus from eugr to supply the government with the needtMl revenue. Probably most of them would Ilka tot deprive th trust of the one-eighth of a cent pro tection as a mart of puitty vindication but evidently they aire afnald to raise the question, since It might lead to a re-openlng of the whole tariff issue uid la prolonged discussion that would lead to mut-hlng. In tho clrcumstiances, therefore, the Demooroita hiave Judldoualy decided to allow the supplemental tariff bills to rost 'Where they ore, thus heeding the ladmoiiltiun of the people at the last election. Of course this nwans that . these measures) are dead, and that the country Is not to experience the Inflic tion of any more tariff dlscusHlon In congress for several yeiura, a promise which the indtiHtrial and business ln terests of the country will nioflt heai'tdly welcome. There are plenty of other mutter to oomnuiind publlo attention The currency question is of pammount Imiporn&nce and culls for the most in- Mllgeiit and caavful consideration from the people, end besides this such mat .ters as the rrpivlon of monopoly In the form of truuls and combinations, the bi'titer requisition of eorporuitlons, a nsitloiiiil btinkniptoy law, and other questions nVcttlng tho generul welfare Which have been Buburillututed in the qubllc thought to the tariff, may now receive tho attenition they merit. The Democrats In the preecnt congress have done nothing su wise as tlroppinff the tariff. A reform which has long been desired will te lntrcxluced by yie Until enaot mtit of the Mil now pending In con gress In reUtion to publlo printin? nnd tho distribution of public dovuments. The conference rlort on the me.asure wias adopted by the 1ioue of represen tatives some days ik. In all prola- VUlty the scimte w-IU Uke Ilka action. The reform will .not lw so far-renchuig some of the docaites of sweeping changes have dinlred, but such legisla tion as now Booms airalmi.7le will prove an lmjKirtunt slop In the direction of rational pii:,-!v. It is expected that l:he bill will not only do away with ! variety of abusvs, but seouiv a savlnR 'f hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Thus they will seek ia reputation for economy, and be able to tell how much lews they Bpenlt titan the Repub liuans. Such trickster -work will not avail. The poople of this country do not want mall appropriations as such. They want appropriations wisely made and properly expended. They would l'althor spend ten millions and have ten millions' worth of results to show for it than to spend only one million and have no results. Thkut is a faot which Dem ocratlo trta'teamon of ithe dominant sohool do not seem able to make room fur In itholr brailns. But tt is a fact which the Rentable and ptaltrtoUc men in ooins'rtaa ougTiit to keep Hn mind when dealing with the pending mlsera.' ble travesty of an appropriaJUon Wll. During the pension debalte in the house lunt FrldUy, Mr. Plckler snowed tteut in 6plte of the horde of pension spies paid oult of money that should have gone to some of the old and des titute evldiera whose oJiiims have been disallowed on the most trivial teoh nltiaJiUes, and after tucking every hole and comer of the coumtry for evidence, the ex'tenlt of Commissioner Lochren's "purging" of the penlon list has re sulted In but twenty-nine convictions, To the Democrats' who so excitedly dantaindeid the name of any one on their side who had ever denounced the pea ston roll as a "roll of dishonor," Mr. Plckler might Wave read the assertion In Cleveland's last year's message that "thcnifunds of neighborhoods had their well-known fraudulent pensioners," and ailso the statement of ilhe same eminent authority in his lawt rmesnage that (the) "Liare-faced and estenslve frauds ex pised" "have been a pant of the work of 'the administration.

BARROWS' OREGON. Oregon, by Wlllin'in Barrows, though by no means a recent addition to the Series of American commlonwViSi.hs, unites all the oharms of a romance with authentic h)l!tory gleaned by care ful and painstaking research, as well f .-.I. (U ajs personal acquaiiiuunvB wnu men prominent In the early days. , How many of Oregon's sons ana dUugntera of a larger growth, familiar though they may be wllth the records of the past, are instilling into the minds of their eons land dUugthlters a genuine love for and Utuduible pride in their own state? Every boy and girl should through these page become fimlllar wittlh Wie thrilling story of the exciting ooilleet of five naitkm for the posses sion of this territory, and the work of 'that grand character, Dr. Whitman, whose herculean energy and devotion turned the edales In favor of the Unlt ed Btates, thus securing to this state a progressive civlllzfatlon. Like a pamoramia, Barrows unfolds the series of dramoitlo events which tiuoa the evolution of this land, In initio more tilvaii half a century, from the wilderness "Wihere ivills the Oregon, and hears no sound tlave luls own dUtrhlngs," to the promising Btuite of today. Of the flrst great Immlgraltlon, when two hundiv'd wUgone fell Into line, bringing ithose sturdy men and women wh(se mlswlon was to resist and over come the paiUlyalng power of that oc. toims, the Hudson Hay Company, he Uius writes: "There are inside and outside of those wuigims, the ndblo gernia and boat ele men't of Atwriilm life.
