KEPT! BLIP AN MATTERS. HIS WORD FOR SUGAR. 1 resident ( levcdaud'k Imlefrnslhly Aud:t «•!<>"» I.etter to tile lluuw. liebident Cleveland’s letter was remarkable for nothing else so much US Its indefensible audacity. It is not the first time that he lias under taken. the unwarranted liberty of meddling with tho constitutional du.,ios of a co-ordinate branch of the government: that ho should do so openly and make his act a matter of official public record is to say tho least astounding. Heyond this there is nothing surprising in tho letter, lie makes a partisan argument in mvor of free raw materials and then, as if merely by incidental mention, declares in favor of the senate sugar schedule. _As to sugar, as long ago as February - - , he was authoritatively jdedged to the interests of the trust, even before the tariff bill had been re pbrted to the senate. On that day the Democratic senators held a caucus on tho subject, and Senator White, who had already been ap pointed and confirmed as associate justice of the supreme court, parti cipated in its deliberations for the purpose of announcing the pres ident’s position towards sugar. He announced that the president had, both before and since March 4, 1893. promised tnat there should be a duty on “both raw and refined” sugars. He said that he had continued to act as senator after having been con firmed as associate justice of the supreme court lor the purpose of explaining to the caucus the pledges of the president with regard to sugar. 8o the senators know where the president stood on that subject, says the Kansas City Journal, and the only purpose he could have had in handing this letter to Chairman Wilson was to notify the house that the sugar schedule had his full coun tenance, and to let it be known by the senate’s conferrees that he would have them save the sugar trust even sit the expense of tho iron and coal trusts. It was generally believed in the best informed circles in Washington that if an agreement could be made on the sugar schedule a report could be made within two days. Mr. Cleveland undertook to make such an agreement possible by openly pro nouncing in favor of the trust schedule which was originally writ ten by the secretary of the treasury. Hosrg’s Itevolution. Governor Hogg of Texas has been performing a public service again. In offering his prediction that a rev olution impends, in accordance with the prevailing fashion to which none yields more readily than Mr. Hogg, the governor goes to the extent of minutely describing the more palpable and noticeable effects of the same and specifies as a distinc tive mark of his revolution that Chi cago’s “lofty buildings will be .^spattered with the hearts, lungs and livers of citizens.” This, says the Detroit Tribune, is a useful symptomatology. Nobody is going astray as to Governor Hogg’s revolution, and take it to be a Sunday school picnic or a common weal army. Now. when the people of Chicago wake of a morning and find the hearts, lungs and livers of citizens spattered all over their lofty buildings, they may turn to each other in all confidence and say: “This is revolution," and proceed about their avocations with the as surance that it is only born of a full understanding of surrounding con ditions. Travelers, too, in proceed ing through the second city of the land, and noticing extraneous sub stance upon the lofty buildings which proves on examination to be •the hearts, lungs and livers of citizens, will recognize the revolu tion at once and insist upon the usual excursion rates. With Governor Hogg’s distinct specification of symptoms, there can be no misunderstanding. The sight of citizens without hearts, lungs and livers will mislead nobody. Unless those parts are spattered on the lofty buildings of Chicago the oc currence will promptly be pro nounced a fake and treated as such. It is no time to inquire why the governor insists upon hearts, lungs and livers to the exclusion of other useful organs, notably the stomach, pancreas, and vermiform appendix: why he selects the lofty buildings of Chicago rather than of another city, or why the viscera of citizens and not of aliens orlndians are not taxed. The governor seems to know whereof he speaks. The only thing for the people to do is to extend him their gratitude and keep a sharp lookout for the appearances ho indicates. On a New lack to the Pie Counter. No good can be expected from the Fopulist party, for the reason that it is made up of misfits and freaks of all kinds who have no proper knowl edge of public questions and no ability to order public affairs. Many of them were chronic office seekers in other parties, and failing there, entered the Fopulist party in the hope of accomplishing their am bition. These men now seek to ride into power with a new party, but they have been tried long enough to show that their rejection by the old parties was wise, and that to again intrust them with official authority would be folly.—Denver Kepublican. Fopuiisiir Erouomy. Gov. Altgeld says he keeps j osted on the news of the day by reading onlv the headlines in the newspapers. He doubtless also keeps up with the drama by reading the bill posters, gets * his religion from church notices, and grows fat on pudding by chewing the string. The average Populist is a great economist.— 'Times-fctar. FREE LABOR. The Major Think* It Co.it* tho Em ployer Too Much a* It I*.
