The election in Alabama, Tuesday,
resulted in a sweeping victory for
the entire democratic ticket. Wm.
C. Oaten Leaded the ticket for gov
ernor. The election held in Tennessee
Thursday last resulted in a complete
victory for the democratic ticket
over the combinition of republicans
and populist.

Kentucky's silver tongued orator.
The House,by a vote of 176 to 52,

the extermination of weeds.

for distribution among the counties
is $801,263.40. The returns from
the clerks of the various counties to
the department of education show
there are 928,309 children of school

The Sugar Trust and Tariff.
There is nothing plainer than the
relations of the Sugar trust to pre-

legislation. The McKinley law pre
sents the trust annually with 3530,
000,000 of the public fund. The
president and treasurer of the trust
hare both sworn to this fact. When
it becauji appareut that this bill
would be repealed, the trust exerted
itself to saTe as much of the plunder
as possible. Iu the course of this
endeavor it kicked up such a row as
created the hope that the McKinley
bill might be permitted to remain on
the statute booths, and the flow of
the golden stream from the Treaeury
of the United States to the strong
box of the trust would thus be con
tiuued.
The Sugar trust prefers the Sen
ate bill to the House measure, for
the reason that the Senate bill af
fords it incidental protection, while
the House bill doesn't give it any
comfort. But the trust isn't bother-
in;
its head about the House bill.
Its concera is between the Senate
bill and the McKinley law, and its
hope is that tho Senate bill will be
defeated, iu order that the McKinley
law may be continued. The passage
of the Senate bill would cut off half
of the Sugar trust's gratuity. That
is why the trust objects to its pass
age. Moreover, it would guarantee
exemption from an impending Trea
sury deficit. But neither the Re
publicans nor the trust care about
that. Their only concern is the pro
tection of favorites and the looting
of the Treasury. If, on the other
hand, the Senate bill is defeated,
the trust will continue to draw its
$30,000,000 annually, and a Treasury
deficit is practically ceitaiu to spread
humiliation over the whole people.
Every true Democrat is opposed
to trusts, and nearly every Demo
cratic Senator is true to his party.
But there are enough protectionists
among them to make complete tariff
reform legislation impossible. It is
likely that among those who are
most emphatic in their demands for
the Wilson bill are some who would
vote against il if it was reported by
the conferees. Senator Hill is in
evidence on this point. He is par-
oxysmal in his demand that the
Senate conferees recede, and if they
did recede he would vote against
the report. This is one of the
troubles against which the tariff re
formers are compelled to contend.
It is agreed among real tariff re
formers that the purposes they

Democratic Caucu D-a Not Advis

Tar ff Conferree. (. risi
Temperate Speech
Washington, D. C , Aug. 7. One
hundred and sixty-six Democratic
Representatives met iu caucus to day
to discusB the tariff situation. It
was one of the most largely attended
caucuses of the party ever held. For
more than an hour and a half they '
talked and then adjourned without
doing anything. But promises with
out number were made. All sorts of
promises. The House leaders pledg
ed the House followers that a tariff
measure was speedily forth-coming
which would redeem every Demo
cratic pledge and result in the pas
sage of a tariff bill which would be
a Democratic delight and a joy for
ever. There wasn't a word said
about whipping the Senate, nor was
the Voorhees letter, which was uui
vereally discussed before the caucus
convened, mentioned by any of the
speakers. There was much talk of
harmony, and Chairman Wilson of
the House Conferees said he did not
want to hear anything derogatory
spoken of the Senate. Bynum's re
solution, after numerous whereases,
recounting tariff delays and unsettl
ed business conditions, asked the
conferees to report to the House.
In speaking to this resolution
Speaker Crisp showed his admirable
qualifications for Democratic leader
ship. Crisp is a marvolous man. He
is a House idol, lie lias all tne
qualifications for leadership that
Gorman possesses and the personal
popularity of Wilson. He wanted
the conferees to be given more time.
There were other schedules just as
impoiiaut as the coal and irou ore
schedule upon which the Senate was
prepared to yield, or had alrtady
yielded. The House conferees were
as much interested in securing a
bill as the representatives could pos
sibly be, and would do nothing to
jeopardize its passage. Moreover,
they would report in a reasonable
time Thus spoke Mr. Crisp. Mr.
Bynum and Mr. Springer, and ull
of the others, yielded gracefully and
withdrew their carefully worded re
solution. There was no discord or
clashing. Many of the House mem
bers felt as if they had already se
cured victory, and that all it was
necessary to do was to give a few
days more time to their eonferees
and the whole matter would be
straightened out. Some of the very
men who had gone into the caucus
crying, "It is high time for decisive
action,' came out smiling, happy
and hopeful The overwhelming
sentiment was in favor of some kind
of a tariff measure and against stand
ing out for concessions which would
jeopardize the bill, but nothing
came of it.
If there was a similar feeling on
the Senate side it would indeed be a
time for rejoicing. The Senate
gauntlet is the one to be ruu. And
yet if there is any tariff bill at all
these Senators are the ones tt. whom
the thanks of the couutry will be
due. Newspapers which know bet
ter and newspapers which do not
are launching broadsides at them.
They are being traduced in the city
and country press without any
chance for reply or opportunity to
explain.
The truth concerning this tariff
situation is that if Jooes and Vest
had not been thoroughly loyal to
the cause of tariff reform the bill
would have been dead long ago.
Had Harris and Cock r ell played the
role of demagogues, as some other
Senators have done, no tariff bill
would have been possible. By shout
ing: aloud for radieal tariff reduc
tions, and diug nothing to secure
it, it would have been an easy mat
ter to have gained enthusiastic ap
plause from those who now censure
them. But the bill would have long
since been defeated. A change of
front by any of these men such as
Voorhees made in the interview last
night would mean the certain defeat
of the pending bill. But it would
have been a most popular move. If
tariff laws could be enacted by mak
ing speeches or schedules amended
by school house resolutions it would
be a most happy condition of affairs.
How much longer these Senators
will continue to sacrifice themselves
is a question. The cause of tariff
reform demands that they continue
to maintain such an attitude as will
i keep forty-three democratic senators
J together who can pass a bill If
'temporary popularity was the end
1 " , .,
to be sought thev would long smce
' . , , . ,
have gone iortn wun me uiumiuue
which is shouting
"down with the
traitors," with the result of killing
the tariff bill.
The senate situation is unchanged j
and unchangeable if any tariff meas-!
ure is to be enacted. Denunciations
of Jones and Vest and Hanis will
not make Smith and Murphy and
Irby come to terms. These latter
senators have nothing to fear, either
from the president's disfavor or the
indignation of other senators' con
stituents. By hard and persistent
labor on the part of tariff refoim
senators, their support was finally
secured to a bill, aud the only point
at issue is whether all this is to go
for naught in order to satisfy the
demands of those who wish to ride
into the office by declaring their ua
dying love for something which can
never be secured by this Congress.
Gorman and the two Senators from
Louisiana are at loggerheads An
interview published with Gor
man in afternoon papers show that
the Maryland Senator has grown
weary of the struggle. "The House
couferrees refuse to do anything,"
he said. "They will not agree, nor
will they consent to report a disa
greement." They will have just forty eight
hours longer in which to make up
their minds to do something. If at
the end of that time they have not
consented to an agreement or disa
greemeent the Senate will cut the
Gordian knot. We will strike the
sugar schedule out of the bill and
substitute free sugar. Louisiana
Senators have made a combination
with the Populist to demand the
bounty for this year, amounting to
$6,000,000. We will not give it.
Before we will be driven to that
we will have free sugar. That would
deprive the Treasury of $20,000,000
annually. But that cannot be avoid
ed unless men come to reasonable
action. The President wants ssg
ar taxed; so do we, but we can not
give up everything else for a tax on
sugar."
THAYER IS APPOINTED.
TIia Preoiilent Nominates Him tor the
Jndsealnp.
Washington, D. C, Aug. C. The
President sent to the Senate today
the names of Amos M. Thayer of
St. Louis to be United States Cir
cuit judge for the Eighth judicial
circuit and H. S. Priest of St. Louis
for United States District judge for
the Easteru District of Missouri.
Judge Thayer is one of the best
known jurists in the State. His ap
pointment comes by reason of the
bill introduced by Representative
Cobb and recently passed by Con
gress, providing for three judges in
the Eighth circuit. The two judges
now in the circuit are Judges Cald
well of Arkansas and Sanborn of
Minnesota.
There was a spirited contest for
the new judicial honor. Judge
Thayer has commended himself to
the President by his record on tke
bench, and was in addition urged
for the office by close personal and
political friends of the President,
among them ex Governor Francis of
Missouri and Congressman Cobb of
St, Louis.
His appointment left vacant the
judgeship to which Mr. Priest was
appointed. Judge Priest is a well
known lawyer in St. Louis, and was
until recently attorney for the Mis-
souri Pacific railway.
Some Significant Figures -
In 1880, when Benjamin Harrison
was inaugurated as President of the
United States, the gold in theTreae
ury was 182.218,163. In 1893,
four years later, and when he vacat
ed the offioe, the gold reserve was
$96,519,833. In other words.during
the four years of Harrison's term
the gold holdings of the Treaeury
were reduced $85,698,330, or an
average of $21,424,582.50 a year
This was doing a period of pros
perous times, when the customs re-
j ceipts were fairly well up.
Duriog 1893 the panic, brough
about by Republican profligacy, re
duced customs receipts to a mini
mum, and yet the gold in the Treas
ury at tne beginning oi teas year
was 64,873,025, the falling off be
ing only $9,645,808. Taeugh the

the gold reserve in th Treasury on
August 1 was about $55,000,000, or
only about 9.(00.0;0 less than at
the begiuning of the. year.
These figu:es prove that under
the last Republican adminstration
the finances of the country were
badly managed, and that tho panic
was the logical result of inconipe
tency aud profligacy. If the vicious
tax system embraced in the McKin
ley bill aud the extravagance and in
