The tariff bill as iceonstrticted by the
republicans of the senate llnance com
mittee docs not contain a reciprocity
provision. In omitting the reciprocity
clause of the house bill , however , It
was not the Intention to abandon that
policy. It simply meant that the senate
republicans charged with revising the
measure were not satisfied with that
clause and Senator Allison has stated
that a reciprocity provision will lie in
corporated In the bill later , the
purpose being "to make a feature
In which reciprocity will be recipro
cal. " The republicans of the ways
ind means committee gave very
careful consideration to this matter ,
but. It N a fact that the result of their
lellboratlons was not satisfactory. In
explaining this provision of the bill
Chairman DIngley did not make It clear
that any real benellts were likely to
come from It and It Is simple truth to
say tlyit It was n rather clumsy plan.
Undoubtedly the senate republicans
will be able to devise a better reclproc-
ty provision than that of the house
illl , but the task is really a dlffleuU
me , because In order to have a plan
) i' reciprocity that will be effective there
'iiust be concessions made that will In-
erfere with revenue. At all events ,
lowever , this policy must , be recognized
n the new tariff , for tliu republican
> arty Is fully committed to It and the
country expects it. The agricultural
producers of the country especially de
sire a reciprocity provision which will
enable them to recover what was lost
by the abandonment oC that policy ,
while the manufacturers of the country
. ( presented in the National association
lave expressed them-selves strongly in
favor of reciprocity. In short , all pro
ducing interests whose products are ex
ported want it and no republican tariff
measure would be complete without a
reciprocity provision. It Is an essen
tial part of the republican economic
policy , as the national platform attests.
nit : siri'insMi : < ju/.sr/o.v. ,
The democratic leader In the house of
representatives said lu a recent speech
hat "there is just one qm'stloii in the
ninds of the American people and that
om. question Is prosperity. " lie was
ight. From one end of this , grcat
country to the other all classes of the
icople are anxiously awaiting the full
eturn of prosperity. It Is the .subject
of supreme Interest to the manufactuier ,
ho merchant , the professional man and
tin , workliigmaii. The long period of
lepresslon , of loss to capital and to
itbor , of disaster to nearly every form
of productive enterprise , lias become
nest oppressively tiresome. It Is true
hat the situation Is not so had as It
las been. It Is very much better than
ast year , when the country was con
fronted by a danger to its monetary sys-
em nml uncertainty as to the result of
he contest between sound money and
insouml money Intensified financial dls-
rust and business depression. There Is
low confidence that there will be no
llsturbance of the monetary standard
for at least four years and there is not
he extreme conservatism In financial
circles tlmt prevailed before the pivd
lentla ) election. Money Is not so hard
o get for legitimate purposes. There is
ib-o greater Industrial activity. Mor. ;
nlll.s and factories are In operation now
linn a year ago and there Is consider-
ibly less Idle labor In the country. The
allroads generally report a material
mprovument In earnings , the postal
evenues have Increased and there are
Hher evidences that the situation Is
jetter than a year ago , or Indeed for
several years.
lint prosperity is not so general nnd
complete as It was five years ago , before -
fore the people made the great mistake
of turning the control of the govern-
ncnt over to the democratic party , and
ill interests want n return of the pros-
icrous conditions of that time , when
capital found profitable Investment and
abor was fully employed and well paid
H this attainable ? Wo have n larger
lopulatlon to feed and clothe than live
ears ago , there are still vast resources
0 be developed , the opportunities for
veil directed enterprise on all lines of
itimaii effort are as good now as they
nive ever been. This being so there can
> o no doubt that general prosperity Is
ittaliiahlc.
The one thing essential to It.s attain-
ncnt is a judicious economic system ,
uider which American Industries nnd
\merlcan labor will not bt > subjected to
1 destructive foreign competition. The
epubllcan parly was voted Into power
ast November to provide .such a syn-
em. The plain mandate of a majority
of the people was that the democratic
arllV must go , to bo replaced by a tariff
on republican lines. Until this is ac
complished a return of general pros-
lerliy cannot bu expected , It is Irra-
lonal to assert , as some do , that pros-
icrlty can bu attained under the exist-
ng tariff In view of the experience
since It went Into operation.
It is not the fault of the republican
party that there Is still some depression
and that the return of general prosper
ity Is delayed. The rcprescntalives of
the party In congress bnve responded to
what they regarded ns the command of
n innjorlty of the people and the re
sponsibility for delay In giving the
country the legislation necessary to
bring back prosperity does rot rest with
them.
LlhS
With Its necustomod disregard for the
truth the World-Herald comes out with
a mass of distorted facts and pure fab
rications under sensational headlines In
tended to convey the Impression that
Frank 13. Moores has , by paying certain
moneys Into the county treasury , ad
mitted that he was guilty of all the
various campaign charges trumped
up against him for political
effect during bis canvass for dec-
lion to the mayoralty. That the
NVorld-Ileraldi story In a tissueof false
hoods almost from beginning to end goes
without saying. Instead of being an
admission of default , the prompt pay
ment by Mr. Moores of the undisputed
Items In the county's claim as soon an
they were verified and brought to his
attention supports in every way Ills
statement tha.1 he Is ready to pay every
cent due the county the moment It Is
shown that the claims arc legal and
correct. i
As clerk of the district court Mr.
Moores wan entitled to the regular fees
from the county In all public cases , and
le also collected certain flues for which
le accounts to the county. "When lie
iVent out of olllce there was no way of
iscertalnlng and verifying at once the
various claims and counterclaims ,
lit hough It was plain that more
uoney was owing Mr. Moores
.ban owing by him. The work of check'
Jig up the items has gone steadily on
since the close of Mr. Moores' term and
was only completed on the line account
ast Saturday during Mr. M oores' ab
sence from the city , showing a balance
of some ! ? 1SOO. Uelng informed of this
> n his return , Mr. Moores lost no time
n redeeming his promise to settle with
out delay every valid claim the county
nay have against him.
So far , as the World-Herald's lies
ibout the editor of The I.eo are con
cerned , they scarcely deserve atten-
lon. Sufllce it to say that Edward
Josewnter did not meet Mr. Moores In
Chicago , and that he did not while in
he cast make or attempt to make any
irraiigements to raise money for the
myinent of any of the county's claims
igalnst Mr. Moores. The newly coined
'alsehoods about Mayor Mooros and
Mr. Hosewater are sorry evidence of
ho lengtlis to which the Uroatch organ
vlll go to bolster up the outlaw ex-mayor
n his lawless effort to retain olllcial
tower after lie has been repudiated by
ho people.
The council organl'/j'icm effected
vlthout obstruction or dissent by the
election of W. W. Uingham as president
ind W. F. Ilechel as vice president will
give general satisfaction to the public.
\s president of the last council Mr.
ilngham showed peculiar fitness for the
xisitlon and exercised his. powers in a
naiiner to which no objection could be
entered. Under the now charter his
uilhorlty and responsibility will be in
creased both as presiding otllcer in the
council and as acting mayor during the
ibsence or inability of the mayor to per
form the duties of chief executive.
Vice President licchel has also demon-
trated Ills qualifications for the position
o which lie has been chosen by elllcient
orvico in a similar capacity in previous
councils. Kecognizcd as unequalled
unong his associates in his knowledge
jf parliamentary practice , lie may be
lopended on to 1111 the chair properly
vhenever called on to act.
As the new organization of the coun .
cil is for three years instead of for one
ear only as formerly , It Is of no little
mportnnce to the citizens and tax-
layers who have been given this assur-
ince that the business of that body will
> e transacted under good guidance and
m business principles.
A DttASTIV UKMim' .
Several years ago Mr. DIngley sug
gested In the house of representatives
hat In order to put an end to the seal
ontroversy it might be well for this
-overnment to order the killing of all
he .seals In the waters under the tin-
lisputed jurisdiction of the United
States , selling the skins for what they
vould bring in the open market. The
'ortland Oregonlan now urges this
ourse , saying that it would be better
0 exterminate the seals once for all ,
n our own breeding grounds , sell the
kins for what they will bring and put
HI end to the international Irritation ,
'lie Oregonlan does not regard the seal
ndustry as one to be encouraged. It
leelares that the United States would
iu better off , as a nation , had It never
tcqulred the seal herd with Alaska.
\ot only has thy government been at
great expense in providing for the pro-
ectlon of the seals , using up In tills
vay all the revenue derived from the
ease to the Alaska Commercial com- .
mny , but they have been a cause of
nuch diplomatic wrangling and Irrl-
allen , menacing to the peaceful rein-
Ions of this country and England.
If the effort now being made by our
overnment to Induce the Ilrltlsh gov-
rnment to join with It In a more ef-
ectlvo protection of the seals shall fall ,
s Is morc than likely to be the case ,
t is not Improbable that the course sug-
'ested by Mr. DIngley may be adopted.
1 Is the opinion of those who have
-Ivon the filiation careful Investigation
hat with a continuance of present con-
llilons the seals me going to be extcr-
nlnated gradually anyway , by the rav-
ges of the Canadian pirates , and should
he I'.rltish government , persist in Us
ttltudo toward this matter an attitude
or which It hits not pretended to offer
ny justification It will become a neri
it's question whether It would not be
bolter for the I'nlted ' States to put an
end to the Irritating Issue , as well as
expense , by ordering the extermination
oi all seals on' American breeding
grounds In llerlng sea.

the luxury of a soldiers' monument commli-

The CoNjx-l of Thrift.

It Is a most satisfactory reflection that
through all the hard times of recent years
.the people of the west have been learning
that which they had never known , or had al
most forgotten , namely , good , old-fasliloncd
thrift and economy.
That a penny saved Is a penny earned had
been lost ( sight of by the average westerner.
In place ot this had been substituted the
proposition that a penny won Is a dollar
earned.
I low to get money by marking up prlcen
every morning before brcakfest was the only
problem worth considering. Now people are

Davenport Hcpubllcan : The reports of the.
commercial agencies are most surprising.
loth Dun's and Uradstrcet's , after a most
borough Investigation of report. ? emanating
rom n great many different sources , find
lut the actual sales In April by leading
louses In cacl Hue of business In the prin
cipal cities of the Uocky mountains
only amounted to 10 per crnt less
ban thcrtc of 1S92. which as the hlghwater
ear in business prosperity In this country ,
ind n most healthy sign l the fact that
'pccnlHtlvc busliiew In nearly all lines Is
small , while legitimate trade shows nn In
crease.
Chicago Times-Herald : The evidences of
mprovcment in trade prnspectn , however ,
are undeniable , notwithstanding the ptipular
mccrtalnty as to what the markets will iie-
nand after tariff rates have been established.
The export trade last week showed nn In
crease of nearly $500,000 over that of the
> rcvloui3 week. While the amount of exports
s not n rcllabb barometer of domestic In-
iiislrial activity , an Increase In exports can-
lot be said to be n discouraging indication.
Such a masked Increase as this Is slgnlfl-
: ant of the general feeling of coiiddence In
he determlnitlon of tha present admlnlstra-
lon to enact legislation favorable to Amcrl-
an Interests.
St. Pi ul Pioneer Press : From all over the

ng ehow most encouraging prospects for nn
ibundant wheat crop. Not in several years
lao the outlook al this E'casnn been so
) rlght. Not only is there an Increased
crease icported , but nil Ihe conditions point
o a licnvy yield. The Increeiicd acreage is
vlthout doubt largely due to the higher
prices now prevailing , and though it Is too
ai-Iy to forecast the course of the market , as
inly meager reports of the Russian prospects
tave been forthcoming , the outlook Is good
cr the maintenance of prices near the prrs-
nt quotations. Reports from India and the
Vrgcntlne are nlso favorable to the uialu-
eiunce of the Increased demand for ex
port.

So enlightened arc the shoe

Detroit Free Press : The senators from the
states embraced by the order of last February
have opposed the reservation from the be
ginning , notwithstanding the forestry com
mission has made II plain lhal It Is no part
of Its program to Interfere with the rights
of oettlors , miners , etc. , but only to prevent
the wanton wnsto ot Umber , Iho destruction
of water supplies , theft , acts of vandalism
and' the like. If the praiseworthy purposes
of the scientists nnd experts nro to be do-
felted by a spirit of local commercialism It
will be a source of great regret In the not
very distant future.
Kansas City Star : There may bo two
sides to this question , ns there are to all
others , but there Is nothing In the matter
to justify the cplthols which some senators
have applied to the ex-president or the sneers
which others have caat upon the eminent
gentleman who recommended the reservation.
They were entirely unselfHi In tha matter
and proceeded according to their best judg
ment nnd most patrlollu Impulses. If a
wrong hns been committed President McKln-
ley will right it In due ttmo and form , and
nuch episodes as thai In Iho senate are to bo
deprecated under nil clrcumstniices.
Chicago Tribune : Senators like White of
California. Wilson of Washington nnd Petll-
grew of South Dakota denounced President
Cleveland's order solely because It Interferes
with men who want to go on the timber
lands left to the government , start saw
mills there and manufacture lumber for ship-
mout. These men want to reap an Immediate
prollt. They wish to denude tlie hillsides
as speedily as possible and get out. When
the farmers begin to complain that the
springs and streams nre running dry they
will not be around to hear tbeln complaints.
President Cleveland's order should not be re- .
voked. The house should refuse to concur In !
the senate amendment , but adhere to Its own
proposition , which is to authorize President
McKlnley to modify his predecessor's order
If It goes too far In any particular case.

New York Sun : The outlook for Greece Is
equally gloomy from the political and mili
tary point of view.
Courier-Journal : The Greeks are likely to
come out of this war with almost ns little ,
credit as China did in her struggle with
Japan.
Philadelphia Record : The Greeks nre outmatched - .
matched nnd overborne by a dead weight of i
men and metal , against which It seems mur- ,
ilerous folly further to contend. |
Globe-Democrat : The Turkish Held artil
lery is so much superior to that of the
Qreeks that It can be used effectively beyond
the raugo of the Greek mountain guns. It Is
i pity the Greeks failed to take such details
into consideration.
Philadelphia , Press : General Smolenskl
tried hard to make Velestlno n Thermopylae

Philadelphia Ledger : The obltunry of tha
3rcek cause against Turkey was written when
the Greeks retired from Larlsba to the line of
Pharsalla. Several severe engagements be-
Iwcen contending armies took place nt
Pharsalla and Velestino on Wednesday and
the dispatches received from the front In
dicate tlmt the Givcks have not been able
lo give pause to the triumphant progress of
Kdhem's forces.
Pioneer Press : The cowardly policy which ,
to maintain a shadowy "concert" with powers
wholly inimical to England , has led the Salls-
Ijury ministry to consent to the humiliation
3f Greece and the exaltation of the fanatical
rurk , will be fitly rewarded If after all ISug-
land finds Itself compelled to go to wrfr for
the defense of her position in Kgypt and of
the route to India , as well as for the main
tenance of her supremacy in South Africa.
