DE11S ON DECK.
Mr. Eugene V. Debs, who has been so
lively an Issue during the iast year or two,
has ended the six months In prison to which
he wan sentenced for leading a strike
against impositions of railroad companies,
has Lad a monster reception, at which Gov.
Waite, of Colorado, was present, and at
which "La Marseillaise" was the war cry,
has made a great speech and will now pub
lish a newspaper to ghc Ms views to the
whole world.
A volume of important history is in
cluded in this brief statement. The strike
of which Debs was a leader was more
Important in results than nny that has
ecr occurred in America. The uprising of
1877 was bloodier, the Homestead affair,
and others more sensational, but the A.
K. U. strike brought forth a decision from
the United States courts, which gives the
law authorities absolute power to rail
road leaders to Jail nl the beginning of ob
struction, and so deprive the strikers of
the counsel upon which they depend. Of
course, this is more likely to provoke de
struction of life and property than to save
them, but law and ilice authorities are
the last to recognize this phase of such
contests.
It is to be hoped Mr. Debs will In the
future use his influence to prevent strikes,
which are always more or less disastrous
to employers, employes and the general
public, and devote his genius to political
organization, without which no enduring
good can be accomplished.
In Trance, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Hol
land, Denmark, Sweden, Norway antr-Great
Britain, the ballot, general, provincial and
local, Iia3 accomplished Immeasurable good
In bringing about reforms of benefit to the
wage workers. Yet herein America, where
every man Is supposed to be more of a poli
tician than anywhere else in the world,
there is nothing evident except absolute
apathy. In a political sense, among the cm
ployed classes. It tney vote at all, they
vote for the men whose Interest it Is to
make and enforce the very laws of -which
they complain.
Nothing substantial, nothing permanent,
can be accomplished until those who work
for wages, those who arc subject to the
dominating of employers, which is but an
other name for masters, and who form the
vast majority ot the voters, unite in one
grand body to elect tbelr own representa
tives nnd make and enforce their own laws.
SKY-SCRArEtt FIUES.

great a volume of light and beat Is neces

Therefore all such piles should be made
absolutely fireproof, If that be possible.
Yet the fires of this week, which arc near
est to band for illustration, show that the
material of the Interiors was particularly
Inflammable. Hardly was the alarm given
before the many stories were ablaze from
top to bottom, and only by fairly tumbling
down stairs and fire escapes and fire de
partment ladders were any of the hundreds
of inmates saved.
It is a 6 In: pic and logical conclusion that
all structures higher than two or three stor
ies should be made absolutely fireproof.
This should be compulsory, and should be
flone under rigorous law3 and inspection.
In addition to this, the most thorough in
terior machinery should be compelled for
extinguishing fire, especially la buildings
devoted to manufacture and where much
inflammable material Is in use.
The fearful lessons of the last week should
lead every municipality to take prompt
steps for the prevention of the erection
of fire-traps, which are not only a menace
to themselves and their occupants, but the
whole neighborhood which surrounds them.
WAYS AND MEANS.
Many authorities appear to think that
the composition of the Committee on Ways
and Means of the House of Representath cs
is not Important In the Fifty-fourth Con
gress because there will be little tariff leg
islation.
This is a strange conclusion. In Iew of
the fact that for a quarter of n century the
problem of levying nnd collecting sufficient
funds to pay expenses of go vcrmuent. Inter
est on debt, and to nuke ecuxibly liberal
appropriations for internal imprmements
nnd public bulldlnra has not presented so
many difficulties as nt the present time.
Therefore, Ways and Means should be or
ganized to concentrate in it not only tin?
best wisdom of the IIour, lint the best ex
ecutive ability nnd leadership.
Iloneu-r the cliairmamhip question may
be decided, the committee will bo a pecu
liarly able one, and the progress of ll work
for the purpose of "raising the wind" will
be watched with deepintercst.
POPULISM IN ENGLAND.
According to Information contained In
The Tiiuri' Loudon cable letter today. Lord
Salisbury, while treating wilh contempt
the prayers of the agriculturists for pro
tection from foreign competition, intends
to embody in his recommendations to Com
mons a government loan to fanners at 3
per cent per annum Interest and take up
mortgages.
This is so muih a part or tho Populist
programme that the leaders ot that party
in America may take heart of gracea nd start
anew in their campaign wilh the pres
tigeofhaving a portion of their programme
virtually Indorsed by so high an authority
as the prime minister of Great Britain.
Just how the 3 per cent loan will take
the place of protection is difficult to sec,
but his lordship Is certainly wise in keep
ing as far as posslblo from the protection
muddle, whuh logically means that it one
iutercst Is protected all roust be. It will
be interesting to note how the people at
large of the kingdom will receive the
proposition that they shall be taxed to
loan money to farmers who are in debt,
the people of the United States having
placed themselves pretty clearly .pu record
on this subject.
INCREASE OF COUNTEHFEITING.
The last report of the chief of the
Secret Service of the Treasury Department
would seem to indicate that the business
of counterfeiting is largely Increasing,
both in the reproduction of coin and paper
money. Here is a summary of the work
of the last fiscal yean
One hundred and eighty-one persons were
convicted; 110 others pleaded gulliv: 74
were indicted and are awaiting trial; si
avvaiting-exaniinitlon; 1G were nolle prose
quieel: 53 were discharged by United .States
einiiralssIon'Ts, and 84 were acquitted.
Alttred anil counterfeit notes, counterfeit
coins, etc. freptvsentatlve value, were
capturnl during the year of an aggregate
face value of almost 53,000.000. There
were also captured 935 copper, steel and
glass plates for United States notes, state
warrants, postage stamps. World's Fair
diplomas, etc.: also 4T dies for counterfeit
coins, and 217 molds for colnr, bcsldex
a large quantity of crucibles, photographic
outfits and machinery.
Thisshows that many others besides the
employes of the mints and Bureau of En
graving and Printing think they have a
right to manufacture money, and as skill
in making dies is developed, and In photo
lithography and other means for the re
production of paper money. Uncle Sam
TVlll have no end of able rivals In the
business.
One great advantage In tho connter
feiter's favor is the immense quantity of
ragged and unclean bills In circulation.
These arc far more easily imitated than
crisp, new bills. The wisest step the
go-erumcnt could take, therefore, would
tie to prescribe that the banks of the coun
try should fix a much higher standard of
condition, return all objectionable money
prompUy to be destroyed, and thus soon
force into circulation a cleaner nnd brighter
currersay.

One ol our learned college profesrors
who Is Instructing the young Idea how In

very bright things in his lecture yesterday.
Speaking of the constitution of Alliens,
he staled that It was the most perfect form
ot civil liberty the world has ever known.
"Because," he sald.'-'lu Athens the gov
ernment was responsible for every indi
vidual under Its control Athenian rulers
were uot merely law-makers or law
breakers, as most rulers are but they were
obliged to look after the temporal welfare
ot the people. The slate had to provide
a living for the people to furnish them with
the opportunity of being well fed, well-
clothed and happy. The ruler who failed
to accomplish this end had a short regime.
"Now, where hae we a modern Alliens
or un thing nearly upproacuiugiir ieia,K
of progress, of sociology, of the rights of
labor and of many other high-sounding,
meaningless phrases, but we are as far
am) from sohlLg the question us this

see a glimmering of light."

Democratic Steering Committee
Has Had Several Metings.
POLICY OF THE REPUBLIOAHS
It Is Urged by Some of the Majority
"Loaders That theDeiiiocrats Should
Me Allowed to Take the First Step
In Legislation Democrats Are Ex
Iicctcd to Mlde Their Time.
BuMialf a dozen working days remain in
which the Republicans must pull themselves
together and determine as to whether Uiey
will make a haud-to-h.inri fii.hf i ,i,(.
efforts to reorganize the Senate with the
asseinonng of Congress. This quesUon must
be met and decided and there can be no
ultimate shifting of responsibility in the
The Democrats fully recognize the Immi
nence of Uie crisis. Their steering com
mittee has aU-i-ady held two rueettugs In
tliis city, nt which a thorough canvass wn
made of the De-mocratic situation, with a
view to deciding upon the line of policy
In the next session.
The question of the organization ot the
oenaie was discussed at length. The com
mittee did not reach a final conclusion on
thismatter.butwhenitndjoumed there was
a general understanding that, unless future
ev ents should make a change desirable, the'
coiuiiuiu-e will recommend to the Demo
crats in the Senate to make no move what
ev er until tlRvP.epublcans and the Populists
shall develop their nlans.
It appeared from Uie discussion that the
Democratic Hejiators are divided as to the
jium-j lopjrsue, some advocating an active
erfort to retaiu Democratic control of the
Senate, whileothers advise surrender lo the
Kciublicaus without a struggle. The steer
ing i-oniniltttc" finally concluded that it
would be wise. to wait until Ir -., ,.i
plaiu whether the Republicans wouid be a
unit in their desire to take control and
whether the PApjlists would hoal together
or some ot them would agree to ass ..: the
Repjblle-ans. ,; -
QUESTIONS, OF PARTY POLICY.
There are. Indications that the committee
also considered' the general question of
party policy j with reference to legislation
which shuuVbe-firoposed by the Republican
party lu the Senate and Hojse, and thereare
reasons for believing that the steering com
mittee will recommend a determlrcd effort
all along the line to restore Demotratic
prcxtlifc in the coantry. Slembcrs or the
committeescuatrhcideaofashortscssion.
The Republicans seem to bedlvided among
Uiemselves as to the poller ot rcorraniza
tion. Home ot the leaders consider it ex
peillcnt to leave the responsibility of if gis
latiou with the Democrats until after the
next national lampalgn. It Is not, ILerc-fw.-so-
much a question of n ambers as of
party expedicue-y that will determine the
inaiier or reorganization.
Whether a majority of Senator wiU
attend the Republican caucus is the ail
important' question.
It is known beyond doubt that Senator
Quay is opposed to Senate reorganiAition,
holding that the Republicans should not
attempt it until they are In run coutrol of
the Senate.
It is generally supposed that the chair
man or the Republican caucus deciles in
his own mind who among his fellow Sen
ators arc Republicans, and Invites them
to utteud the caucus. As a matter of fact,
no Invitations are issued.
There is simply a notice sent to the effect
that there will be a meeting or Republican
Senators at a given time and place. This
notice might be sent b a Democrat or to
a newspaper, and In such case the notice
would simply give information. The chair
man of the caucus does suggest a list of
persons to wnom the notice should be sent,
but any Republican Senator may add to
this list, and a notice would be sent to the
person whose name was suggested. For
example, Mr: Chandler might ask to have
a notice sent to Mr. Hutler of North Caro
lina, end the notification would roilow as
a matter or course-. Whether ilr. Hutler
attended or not would be for him to decide.
NOTIFIED OF THE CAUCUSES.
The Republlcanshavcrorti-two vote-s.cot
counting Messrs, Jones, Stewart, Peffer
awl Hutler. Mr. Jones has always been
notified of the caucuses, and Mr. Stewart
frequently has been so notified since his
formal withdrawal from the party, and in
the Congressional Directory both of the-se
Senators have always been designated as
Republicans.
It Is safe to say that both will be rotified
of the meeUng of the caucus. Mr. Peffer
has been so notified occasionally, but Mr.
Butler Is a new Senator. The fact that Mr.
Butler was elected by a combination of Re
publicans and Populists will probably lead
to notice being sent lo him, and Mr. Chan
dler wilt probably see to it that Capt. Bas
sett or his substitute notifies the Kansas
Senator.
The presence of any two of these four
will give the Republicans a majority, and
therefore by watching the Senators as they
go Into the caucus rooms it may readily be
determined, whether or not reorganization
will follow.
Another prevalent mistake has arisen
over the Gcman resolution of March 2 con
tinuing the Senate committees until their
successors shall be appointed. This resdul
tion Is now looked upoansa pieceof sharp
practice to keep the Democrats In control.
The fact, is that the resolution follows
the terms of the Allison resolution of 1591,
and the putpose of the Gorman resolution
was to prevent the silver Senators on the
Republican, side from carrying out their
declared plan of blocEicg the formation of
committees'untn tl.ey could dictate terms.
Tinder th& resolution the Senate commit
tees were con'Jq Jed during the vacation and
TTutfl "theirs successors shall lie appointed,
and, under the rules of the Senate, vacan
cies may be filled by a pulrality vote, but
.a majority vote is necessary for the elec
tion of a chairman.
The rules or the Senate call for a reor
ganization of committees at the beginning
ot each Congress, and these rules were not
suspended by the Gorman resolution.

Can He Nominated by the Aid of Ills
Ally It Will 1U? Done Uarrlson to
Do Active Work for Ills Combine.
The full particulars of an offensive and
defensive alliance existing between ex
Speaker Reed and Gov. McKinley for the
purpose of so controlling the next na
tional convention of tl c Republican party
as to secure for oue of them the Preslden-
Ual nomination were some time since ex
clusively given in The Times.
Succeeding developments have fully con
firmed and verified the actuality ot a mu
tually satisfactory understanding. The
arrangement was that both Mr. Reed and
Gov. McKinley should each conduct his
campaign according lo bis Inclinations or
best judgment. Each would be independent
of the other and free to talk or remain
silent, swing around the circle or hide in
the pine wilderne-ss, vvritele'ters or eschew
the pen and satisfy hlmselr as to the best
method ot furthering his own interests.
Personalities and projectiles alone were
barred.
Each man should go before the conven
tion on bis own merits and backed by his
own support. After a certain number ot
ballots the one continually showing the
least numerical strength was pledged to
withdraw la favor of the other and make
a reasonable effort to carry bis followers
with him.
CONSOLIDATION OF FORCES.
This arrangement has many advantages,
among them being the practical certainty
of second placefor theoae failing to secure
the Presidential nomination. It also pre
sages such a consolidation of forces as may
be able to dictate the selection if neither
of the genUemen mentioned can obtain it
for himself.
Now conies the announcement that Harri
son and Allison have effected an alliance
similar to that existing between Messrs.
Reed ami McKinley. The most enthusiastic
Harrison boomers have a kind word to say
for the Iowa candidate, and the supporters
ot Mr. Allison are saying that nnder cer
tain conditions, iierhnps after all, it would
be best to nominate Mr. Harrison.
A close friend of the ex-President, in
speaking of this new alliance and Its possi
bilities, said: "I am satisfied that the
nianuagers of Harrison and Allison have
reached an understanding, and if at any
time during the coming convention cither
one can be nominated by the aid of the
other, he will be the nominee. It has not
yet been decided upon just what conditions
they will go into the convention. Allison's
friends want Harrison to go. to the front
and figure as an active candidate, but
Harrison's supporters think this would be
bad policy.
"They believe that Allison Is the man
to take the lead, and that Harrison should
be kept in the background, where he will
antagonize no one, and will be In a position
to receive the votes of the friends of all
the other candidates. Senator Allison him
self objects to the altter programme.
"He has never been anything but a dark
horse In his whole political enre-er, and he
has been figuring upon occupj ing a similar
position ut the next national convention.
There are some advantages in being a dark
horse candidate.
NEVER WAS A CANDIDATE.
"After the convenUon Is over, nnd if a
dark-horse candidate has not been nom
inated, he can say, with someshow of truth,
tliatheneve-rwasa Candida te.nevcrauthor
ized anyone to present his name, and had no
idea in seeking the nomination. In fact,
if the nomination had come to him at this
time lie could not have accepted It. Allison
objects to coining 'out of t he woods,' but the
narnson contingent will control the situ
ation, so far as lie is concerned. If they
order Allison to the front at the beginning
o r tne contest ne wilt De compelled to obey. '
It is known to be a fact that tn Indiana
there is a strong undercurrent In favor ot
Allison for second choice, and there are
predictions that in tiruo there will be a
movement looking to the support of the Iowa
Senator in case It does not seem possible to
renominate Gen. Harrison. 3
A similar sentiment toward Harrison Is
understood to prevail In Iowa.
Gen. Harrison has been Id New York tor
several days, anil it is believed that bis
chances have been Improved by his visit.
It Is certain that he lias a following among
some of the wealthiest and most Influential
business men there, a'class which Is able to
make heavy contributions to the campaign
fund.
The anti-Platt men seem disposed to favor
hbn.ltbysodolng they ennpre vent Mr.riatt
from controlling the delegation. .It Is no
ticeable that manyot them nave hastened
