The Finance Committee of the Sen ate took a wise and elernted view of their duty in the solution of public problems when they agreed among them selves, Republicans andDeniecrats alike, Vrotec Vretec Vrotec tien' Proved. that some statistics should be collected te assist in solving the Tariff problem that could be accepted with confidence by both sides. It was with this In view that the committee entered upon its la bor of ascertaining the course of prices and wages before and after the passage of the McKinley law. The subcommit tee appointed te de the work, in sub mitting their report, say: "Ju order te pive the statistics collected the weight of the undoubted nutherity, the committee decided at the outset with entire unanimity that the inquiry should be extended only te such subjects and be carried vn through such agencies and by such methods as were approved by the unanimous voice of the committee, and this plan was scrupulously followed in nil decisions as te the character, general scope and details of the investigation. All concurred in the vlewthtit if the facts could be secured in such manner as te create general confidence in their accu racy, a great step forward would be taken in the solution of important economic problems. There was no expectation that tbe members of tbe committee would agree about the political or even the economic bearings of the facts ascer tained; but all were desirous that here after there should be no reason te ques tion the integrity of tue facts." - When Senater Aldrich made his great speech en the Tariff, which was the keynote of the Republican conten tion, he accepted the facts and figures of the committee's report without cavil. When Senater Carlisle, the ablest and most candid of the Democratic "Tariff for revenue" adherents, made his speech en the same subject, he accepted the facts presented by the committee, after its exhaustive investigation, withent question of their reliability. Each man construed these facts as best he could te suit' Ms theory. That each did this is evidence that the facts stated in the re port are indubitably established, se far as painstaking and impartial investiga tion can establish them. A report by se high and impartial an authority, aided by the most skilled and scientific statisticians, was bound te at tract wide-'apread attention en a subject of such universal interest. Time enough has elapsed since the publication for copies te have been received in Eu Eu repq and a Great Britain. Among such thinkers there as take a scientific inter est -in the theory of Protection, aside from selfish interest looking only te their own or their country's advantage, the report has created a profound Ira Ira pressien, as might be expected from its character. Tht Zentktn Financial News la one of the meat influential and respected JeeraM ia-lagUHd. In its tone of Jsly.SM, it saysl "hhfl'riKk! peHlble that English .- critics, in their traditional veneration for the principles of Frcctrade have been hopelessly anil egregleusly wrong? Were our own expectations, in common with these of the majority of public commen tators, founded en an cntlre misconcep tion of the probable effects of a Protec tive policy in the states? If this report be net a tissue of artfully contrived lub rications it would really seem that these questions ought te be answered in the af firmative. It is, of course, far from im probable that the report bus been pre pared by adherents of McKlnlcyistn. The time of its publication is at least sus piciously opportune, and party zeal in America would scarcely hesitate at even such a method of demolishing opposition. But, when all is said nnd done, there stand tlie nosltive statements of the sub committee in all their force. According te these, the cost of living has actually declined in the Uultcd States slnce the adoption of the McKinley act, whereas in Great Britain it has increased. Wc rub our eyes in amazement t Were these prophetic voices right after all, which foretold an era of prosperity for the peo pee peo ple of the United States, as a result of their festering home industry by means of a wall of hostile Tariffs? "If the conclusions en the sub-committee are really borne out by the im proved conditions of the people, the Americans will undouetedly be able henceforth te nut forward a substantial justification for their Protective policy. We might perhaps go further, and say that Free-traders, all the world ever, will be strongly inclined te reconsider their position. If such a view could be sustained in an exhaustive and impartial inquiry, the members of the Cobden Club would be compelled te adept a new set of arguments in favor of their cher ished creed, or the conventional shibbo leths of a Darty which have outlived Its reputation for sagacity would have te go ignomlnieusly by the beard. Free-trade has hitherto been held up te our reverent regard, en the ground that in opening eur'markets without hin drance te all sorts of foreign competition we conferred upon the public the enormous bencnt et cheapening the cost of living. The distrust et this theory, hinted nt by Lord Salisbury in May last, would no doubt be accentuated if it turned out that Protection in the United States had brought about such a result, while Free trade in Great Britain had done the oppo site " It should be understood that while there is still a wide divergence of opinion among different scientific thinkers of high authority as te the value of Protective Tariffs, yet the trend of the best modern thought is steadily against the old laizset taire, se well represented by the present dominant element of the Democratic party. The se-called German historical school of political economy has modified many of the theories of the earlier thinkers te the advantage of the Protective theory and especially as regards se wide and varied an area as Is comprised in the domain of the United Stntes. The Senate Finance Committee's report may be looked upon te go far towards settling definitely the long-argued and much vexed problem. That a representative of the conservative English opinion en the subject should take such a view as that above quoted is significant of hew it will finally be settled. The preceedings of the present Legis lature ought se be sufficient te prove the incapacity of the Democratic party, as new constituted and officered, te longer manage the affairs of a great people like these of Kentucky. With an empty Treasury, with all legislation blocked by the wrangle be tween the Governer and the law-makers; with taxes largely Increased and no re turn for them except te fee an army of officeholders; with net a single public Improvement in progress; with at tempted legislation that will drive capi tal out of the state; with these and numerous ether ills of the body prolific, the cholera would net be a gi eater scourge than the continuance In power of the preseut Democratic party In Ken tucky. Iliiw They Squared Tbemtehfj). Five gentlemen, all from near by towns. engaged a room at a hotel the ether night, and from stray hints they dropped the clerk understood that they were going te engaire in a festive game of "draw," says The A'ete Yerk Commercial Advertuer. Fer some llttle time after arrange ments had been concluded the gentlemen hung around the office, gazing at one an other. Finally the eldest of the let said, " Beys, I suppose we have get te square The remark met with general appro bation, and in amoment all were supplied with pens and telegraph blanks. Here are the messages they sent their loving wives: "Will net be home until late. James has dropped into town en his way te Eu rope nnd must dee him off." "Our bookkeeper was burned out this aftornoen and his child was badly in jured. Will npt be home until late. "Have te balance the books. The cashier is drunk again." "De net expect me Leme until te-morrow, as I am compelled te run up te Albany." But the last of all was the gem. It was from an old married man and was te this effect: "De net wait for me; if you de. you will be very tired," And then the five men, having dis charged their duty te these ut home, went up atalra and unboxed their chips.

Number eriiilcriiicnts SonilnjrTnre Hundred ana Haventy-Thrc- The Yort IlelloveU Over. iiamduue, Sept. 3. Sunday was a cool, autumnal day. The sky was eleud less and the sun has tempered the air agreeably. Ordinarily en such a day the streets arc fllled with premenadcrs and the harbor Is dotted with small pleasure beats and excursion steamers. The stillness of the streets, however, has been, as during the last five days, almost unbroken, and in the harbor hanlly a defcn. bes were te be seen moving at 3 o'clock. The fresh cases of cholera discovered Snuday number 830, the deaths num ber 277. Compared with Saturday, the decrease of the number of cases Is 79, of the number of deaths 30. There Is much loose official talk te the effect that the worst Is ever, that the plague is nbating, and that the people are re covering from their panic. This talk Is echoed by the newspapers. It would be difficult te name any specifics sign of returning confidence among the people, and the mortality from the plague in the last two day$ certainly gives little basis for it. The sudden rise of the mortality from 201 en Friday te 313 Saturday showed hew vain were the hopes aroused by the slight abatement of the plague and the fact that the average of fresh cases for Saturday and Sunday is larger than at any previous time shows conclusively that the disease isat least net losing its held. Despite professions of confidence, moreover, the authorities have been busy providing inhreesixi facilities for treating cholera patients, and an orphanage, refitted as a hospital, and eisht cholera barraclrs have been opened Physicians have been placed en duty nt all railway stations and orders for mere dead wagons have been sent out by the health officials. The number of interments Sunday have been S73, or thirty-sis mere than Saturday. This increase Is due partly te the sudden lengthening of the death list Saturday and partly te the extraordinary efforts of the authorities te get under ground the bodies which have been collecting steadily at the hospitals. About 200 bodies were still unburied at 0 o'clock Sunday evening. With the new dead wagons, however, these bodies can be interred, together with these of fresh victims, within the next twenty-four hours, unless the plague should spread mere rapidly than new seems probable. The precession of dead wagons and hearses through the streets has become appalling. Frem any corner a dozen may be seen in ilve minutes, and en the reads te the cemctcries they pass In al most continuous lines. Places In which one would leek for signs of returning confidence show none. Cafes, restau rants and hotels remain empty. Streets are bare, shops are closed. The cab stands are deserted. Most of the houses leek as If they had been shut for the falL Prof. Kech Is expected te return te the city en Tuesday te proceed further with his investigation of the course of the plague, and te consult with the municipal sanitary officials. It Is un derstood that he will make en exhaust ive report te the emperer en the con dition of the city and the measures of the authorities te combat the disease. The Inefficiency of the authorities here Is known te have produced a pain ful impression In Berlin, and they are considered at the capital te be crimin ally responsible for the spread of the contagion te many north German tewus. It Is reported that Emperor William has addressed te them a rescript In whieh he reviews briefly the course of the plague In this city, and in unequivocal terms lays the blame for the city's suffering at their deer.
