It will be well, rigbt at the outset of their power, for the Democrats to understand that they cannot safely shirk tariff revision. The tariff was the great issue in the canvass, what­ ever Mr. Cleveland and other leading Democrats think of it now. On this the Democracy made its appeal to the people, and on it that party gained its victory. "We denounce Iiepubli- can protection," said the Democratic national platform of 1892, "as a fraud upon labor, as a robbery of tbe great majority of the Aoaerican people for the benefit of a few. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that tbe Federal Government has no constitutional pywer to impose and collect a dollar for tariff duties except for purposes of revenue only, and demand that the collection of such taxes shall be lim­ ited to the necessities of the Gov­ ernment honestly and economically administered. We denounce the McKiniey tariff law, enacted by the Fifty-first Congress, as the culminat­ ing atrocity of class legislation." Mr. Cleveland pledged his adherence to tiu5 doctrine, and on it he was elected. But, says the Globe-Democrat, President Cleveland and tbe inner council of the Democracy are now understood to say that tariff legisla­ tion will have to be postponed until the .Sherman law is repealed, and that the silver question is the issue of paramount importance. In doing this they are turning their backs squarely on their national platform. While that deliverance, as we see, dealt rigorously and drastically with the tariff, it dodged and sliuffled on silver. It denounced tbe Sherman law as a "cowardly make-shift," but the rest of the silver plank was a mass of evasions and platitudes which could be made to mean many things or nothing, and which was inter­ preted in different ways in different parts of the country, as was intended by its franters. This section of the platform was tricky and dishonest from beginning to end, and was known to be such by every Intelli­ gent Democrat. A thousand words were said on the tariff during the campaign to every one on the silver question in any of its aspccts. No Democrat, anywhere or at any time, considered silver to be an actual Issue In the canvass. An attempt, therefore, by the Democrats to put the tariff in the background, to postpone considera* tion of it until after the Congression­ al elections next year, or to deal with It in a shuffling or half-hearted way, will arouse the popular disgust and call down upon them the popular wrath. The majority of the people, whether wisely or the reverse, have ordered a radical change .in the tar­ iff, and they have commissioned the Democrats to bring this about. The Democrats have posed as the foes of the Republican tariff policy. They have, in their national platform, de­ nounced this policy, and promised to reverse it if they should be intrusted with power. They have been taken at their word by the country, and, being invested with the proper au­ thority, they are ordered to carry out their pledges promptly and honestly. Shirking or temporization in this exi­ gency will be fatal to them. Tariff reform, according to the Democratic plan, is demanded, so that the coun­ try can get that party's ideas and desires on this question, and no un­ necessary delay or any sort of evasion or deception will be tolerated. A Seat la the Kenate Uireu Away. The election of a Democrat to suc­ ceed Senator Casey, of North Dakota, is discreditable to the political judg­ ment and party loyalty of the Repub­ lican majority in th<? Legislature of that State. On joint ballot the Re­ public's outnumbered the Demo­ crats, Populists, and Independents combined by a clear margin of twelve and they have given away a seat in the United States Senate for the long period of six years. The sole cause of this entirely needless loss inflicted upon the Republican minority of the next Senate was the bitter wrang­ ling among Republican candidates and the stubbornness of a part of their followers. The result is that the Democrats are made entirely inde­ pendent of the Populists in the Sen­ ate. There will be no. balance of power for the Populists to hold, and Peifer, Stewart, Kyle & Co. will sink Into helplessness. Since there Could Xagwaap " Reform " fHmpUeiegh Grover Cleveland's ante inaugura- tion rooms at the Arlington,in Wash­ ington, were a fair sample of the "Jeffersonian simplicity" of "reform" Mugwump Democracy. Tbe "Cleve land rooms" were on the second floor, and included a parlor,.dining-room, and three bed-rooms, for the especial use of Mr. Cleveland's family; also a parlor and three bed-rooms for Col. Lamont, and a parlor and three bed­ rooms for Mr. Dickinson. The Presi­ dential board bill was* $470 per day, not including the charge for the ex­ tra service that Giover and his party had. The "Cleveland' rooms" were so situated ' that they could be wholly separated from the re­ mainder of the hotel. This was done by means of a. screen placed across the corridor, at the opening of which Mr. Cleveland's butler, Sin­ clair, was stationed. Mr. Cleveland was accompanied by four servants in addition to Bahy Ruth's nurse. Two servants of the hotei, a butler and waiter, were also assigned to his ex­ clusive use. A chef, with two assist­ ants, was entirely at his service. All the "hungry hogs" were kept out of the rooms, except those who could gain admittance on the orders of Don Dickinson and the few other Bourbon bosses who had the "stuffed prophet" in charge. The reign of the bosses, trusts and combines began with a grand flourish of trumpets for "re- fOMO.* The Soldier Hate«* Perliaps the meanest Ihsutt, not only to the veterans of the Union army, their wives and widows, but also to American womanhood, i« the charge made by mugwumps that women bave married old soldiers with the object of receiving pensions after the death of their husbands. The pension of a veteran's widow is $8 a month, less than the average wages of a servant, who receives board be­ sides. and less than enough to pay for board, even at the lowest rate. It is a cruel and absurd reflection upon American Womanhood to charge that American women could be found will­ ing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of $8 a month, contingent upon the death of their husbands. This insult to soldiers' wives and widows is of a piece with the injury to the one-aimed and one-legged vet­ erans, who are accused by Democrats and mugwumps in Congress of cheat­ ing the government by making arti­ ficial limbs last only three years, when they ought, the critics claim, to last for five year?. The pain and inconvenience to be caused to the maimed heroes by being made to stump about with a wornout, artifi­ cial limb are of no consequence to men who themselves took care to send substitutes, or to escape the draft altogether under tbe friendly shelter of the British flag. Probably they reason that whatever incon­ venience the veterans suffer through "economy" on the part of a Demo­ cratic administration is no more than proper punishment for having gone to the war and helped to put down the Democratic slave-labor rebellion. A tasU Cyclone mow* Over aa Vi ed Ntru-c!ur*-- Wra keatag of Xortmr bjr Tbawtagr Frost ftappoM* to Be ths Oaoee of tbe Bnrled taJer TOM of Brieh. Eight people were crushed to death and lour others seriously in jural at 1:15 o'clock Tuesday morning by the falling of the st* n« ram* of <Jolin York's build­ ing at 7fcl South Malsied street, Chicago. York's s-tore was gutted by fire a few- weeks ajro and the blackened stosA wall P. WE re lelt standing. It was not supposed tbat there was any danger of their failing. Shortly after* 12 o'clock Monday aijrht, however, a brisk gale of wind was blowing and a sudden gust caused the walls to topple and fall burying two frame houses which stood just north of the ruins. The first house was occupied on the first floor by one Kunz, a jeweler, and his wife and four children. On the second floor lived the family of John Smith with his wife and three children. Smith was a saloon­ keeper and with him roomed his bar­ tender, who recently (ame from Syra­ cuse, K. Y. His first name was George, but the police were unable to learn his surname. Smith and his family and the bartender were all buried beneath the rains. , The York building was five stories high and the walls were made «d! larpre stones. The force of the wind which toppled the walls must have been ter­ rific, as many of the large stones were hurled clear across the street, Shortly after the crash the ruins took fire and the bodies of the mangled victims were badly burned. An alarm was turned in at 1:45 o'clock; this was quickly fol­ lowed by a second and third alarm. The lire department promptly responds, and went to work extinguishing the flames and attempting io rescue the victims. A .great crowj socn congre- „ gated, ari'l it was with difficulty thei police anl fireitea could keep back the? citizens who seemed anxious to assist In the work of rescue. The front walls of the building were threatening to fall at any momen% and the crowd was re­ peatedly warned to keep at safe dis­ tance from the ruins. The fallen building was one of the South Hals ted street landmarks. A year ago last summer it was reconstructed and changed Irom the o!d style frame structure that had for yeats t een known as a general store into a modern five- story brick and stone. It was then an imposing structure in that locality. The new store had 'jeen in operation but a few months, when last fail it was visited by a lire that was probably the direct cause of the calamity. The fire which wrecked the building was a fierce one, and after several hours the side wails of. the large structure fell in. Within a short time work was begun upon the ruins. Two weeks ago a fall­ ing scaffold severely injured two men at work upon the walls; but the work of repair went forward, and a week later York obtained a building permit for a new five-story brick building to cost $50,000. This had been begun some time ago, and. the side walls were al­ ready in place. One of these caused the catastrophe. Katmi Popalists Decide to Give Cp Tbeir House Organization. Topeka, Kas., special: After a heated caucus discussion, the Populist members of the Kansas Legislature decided to go into the Republican house, which the Supreme Court had declared to be the legal body. The Governor visited the members of the caucus and pledged himself to abide by the caucus decis­ ion. The appeal against the decision of the Supreme court will be made at the general election two years hence. In going into tbe house the Populists have asked no concessions and the Re­ publicans have granted none.

He finally picked up a fallen limb, and each time the bird dashed at biiu he avoided it and s ruck and rained effective blows upon the vicious bird of freedom.

The Maternal lnKticct in Animals. 1 lately met some friends who had with them a little dog called "Vic" which had adopted the family of a cat in the house, and while in po*r- sessioi) would not let her mother coroe near her kittens, says a'writer in the LonJon Spectator. THe kit- tenswc keot in a very small basket, and 4*Yic"' would take th6m one by one and then carry them into the garden and watch over them. Carry­ ing them back in the same way after a time, at other times lying content- ptfly with them In the basket. Of course, "Vic" had to be forcibly re­ moved when the adopted family re­ quired their mother's attention • for their sustenance. 1 also have met a friend who saw a hen hawk, which was in a cage, mothering a young starling. Three young, unfledged starlings were given the hawk to eat. She ate two, and then brooded the other and took tbe utmost tare of it. Unhappily the young starling died, anl from that moment the hawk w )uid touch no food but died herself in a few days. The same friend was on a mountain one day when a sheep came up to him and unmistakably begged him to follow her, going just in front and continually looking around to see if he was following. The sheep led him at last to some rocks, where he found a lamb fast wedged in between two pieces of rock, He was able to liberate the lamb, to tbe evident joy of the mother. I myself once saw a cat ••brooding" and taking care of a very small chicken, which, being hatched first of a brood, had been brought into a cottage and placed in a basket near the fire.

" i j ̂ A B r o k e n 4HavicIe» I^fffy years ago Europeatf audfeneW listened with rapt admiration to liu- bini, a tenor, of whom it was said that, though he himself could not act, he made his voice act for him. The intensity of expression he gave to his voice, the judicious use of the tremolo, and the management of light and shade produced a thrilling effect. But his great vocal feat con­ sisted in taking the B flat of the upper stave without preparation, sus­ taining it for a long time, and then letting it imperceptibly die away. The listeners could hardly believe their ears. The adventurous are always on the edge of danger. On one occasion Ru- bini, after repeating this vocal feat, and being a second time encored, found himself unable to produce the expected note. Determined not to fail, he gathered up his vocal strength and made a supreme effort. The note came with its wonted power, brilliancy, and duration, but at the cont of i broken collar-bone. A surgeon examined the singer and found that the tension of the lungs hart l»een too {owerful for the strength of his collar-bone. Two months' rest, would be required to reunite the clavicle, artd tnis the singer declared to be impossible^as he had only fin­ ished several, days of a long engage­ ment. "Can I sing at all with a broken collar-bone""" he asked, "Yes; it will m;»ke no difference In your voice," answered the surgeon. "But .you must avoid lilting heavy weights, and any undue exertion-- above all, you must leave the B flat alone." Kubini continued to sing with broken clavicle until the termination of hi»engagement. •WORK OP OUR NATIONAL LAW* 1 " MAKERS.

The House then iosk a recess oafcil the eventns session, wbicb was to be devoted to the consideration of private pension biSls. ihe debate in the Senate was over the question presented in the legislative appropriation bilL whether the Utah Coffimi&s on, which has been in evisifc- ence for the last ten years, shouid be abol­ ished. as proposed by the House,^ Or con­ tinued in office, as recommended by the Senate Committee on Appropriations. The question was decided in favor of coatlan-. in? the commission. A fiefct was inaugurated la the Bouse Saturday. It was over the sundry civil appropriation bill which contains the- Sherman bond amesdmant. Jhere are la all 20" amendments to the bilL Mr Hol- mnn desired that all--except the Sherman amendment, upon which there was to be debate--be nonconcurred in. Mr. HI and, as leader of tbe oppositioa to the fhsrxnaa amendment, objected unless it was agreed tbat that amendment should bft,' after debate, also noneoncurred in. This sug­ gestion of Mr. island's raised the antagon­ ism of Mr. Cockran. and no agreement waa arrived at The silver men then resorted to filibusterinR tactics, which were ef­ fectual. and after a speech by Mr. Bland the bill went over without action. Alter four hours passed In discussing various amendments (of little importance} to the legislative appropriation bill the Senate pas«ed the bill, insisted on its amendments, and requested a conference with the House on the disagreeing vote-. The pension appropriation hUl was. passed by the Senate Monday without %ny amendments. It appropriates for army and navy i ensions (including widows and minor children) §165,Oj(i,GOC an8 about SI.500.00} in addition for fees of examin­ ing surgeons, clerk hire at pension agen­ cies and some small items. Mr. Gorman commented upon the magnitude ot pen­ sion appropriations, and gave it as his opinion that it would te necessary to ap­ propriate S-00.000,000 for pensions next session. There was a general expression in the discussion which took place that no materia1 reduction could be effected except through a repeal or modification of some of tbe laws on tbe subject, and that there was no probability of such a thing. One of the most important bills affecting rail­ roads ever passed by Congress waa that which went through the House Monday afternoon, providing for a uniform system of brakes and ear-couplers. Tbe bill has already passed the Senate, so that the ac­ tion of the House insures a comprehensive American system of safeguards for railway travel. The bill passed !n spite of the most bitter opposition from the railroads, which contended that it would bankrupt some of the Southern roads, and would cost tbe railroads of tbe country from f50.000,000 to SU'0,000.000. The important features of Tuesday's ses­ sion of the Senate were the passage of the naval and agricultural appropriation bills and of the bills regulating the sale of in­ toxicating liquors in the District of Colom- hii. House bill extending for one year tbe time for filing petitions lu the Court of Private Land Claims was reported and passed; also Senate joint resolutions au­ thorizing the loan ot tbe portraits of the Chief Justices of tbe United States for exhibition at the World's Columbian Exposition. >The greater part of the day In the House was consumed in the consideration of an election case. In which there was no interest manifested. After three hours' debate Turpin (Dem.), from tbe Fourth District of Alabama, was declared entitled to retain the seat which he had occupied since the opening of the present Congress, and his contestant, Mc- Duffie. was declared to have been not duly 'elected. On motion of Mr. Springer a hill was passed, without opposition, providing that after July 1, 1693, pig iron shall be exempt from duty. Tbe postofflee appropriation bill came before the Senate Wednesday and was dis­ cussed to some extent on the question as to the route of the Southern fast mail. Tbat question was not disposed of when the con­ ference report on tbe sundry civil appro­ priation bill was presented. The report led to a long financial discussion on the Sherman bond amendment, the result be­ ing, however. that the amendment was receded from by tlie Senate. The time of tbe nouse was consumed principally In considering a motion made by Mr. Hatch to suspend tbe rules and pass the anti- option bill. The debate was limited to half an hour and the time doled out in two or three minute portions. Mr. Hatch made the longest speech, and that did not exceed eight minute* He then, stating that he had done his best to promote tbe interests of the farmBro. left the subject to the Hou>e, and the House decided by a vote of 152 to 124 not to a£ree to Mr Hatch's mo­ tion--a two-thirds vote being necessary under a suspension of tbe rnles. In the Senate Thursday tbe last amend­ ment to tbe Indian bill, in relation to the Cherokee lands, was amended and aarreed to As amended it appropriates $8,51)5,000 to pay the Cherokees for the lands In ques­ tion. of which $505,000 shall be payable Im­ mediately, .and the remaining 88,000,000 shall be payable in five equal annual in­ stallments, commencing on March 4. 1894. and ending on March 4, 1898--the deferred payments to bear 4 per cent interest The bill was then passed. Tbe Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the de­ ficiency bill, and at 6 p. m. took a recess till 8 p. m. Ihe Senate resumed Its session at 8 p. in., and the reading of the de­ ficiency bill was proceeded with, occupying about an hour. All the amendments re­ ported from tbe Committee on Appropria­ tions were agreed to without question except the one to pay to the assignees of John Roach $28,160 lor the labor and material furnished in completing the dispatch boat Dolphin. After discussion, the amendment was excluded on a point of order, and the bill was passed. The Senate, at IcifO a> in., adjourned until Friday at 11 a. m. A fight was precipitated in the House when it reached those Items of the sundry ci'vil bill which appropriate about 51,000,000 for va­ rious branches of the Columbian Exposi­ tion. Originally the House bad declined to Include these items in the bill, but the Senate added them, and now they were be­ fore the House on the question of concur­ ring in the Senate amendmen', The con­ ference committee had struggled over tbe disagreement, but were unable to secure a compromise, and they simply reported back to tbe House tbat there was uo basis of agreement. operating the Heading •he hands of a receiver.
