Since the meeting of Congress in
December nothing has claimed
our attention more than the out-

times we have boon alternating

But when the financial bill
was disposed tip hopped that par-
measure again. After de-
bating and trying in vain to bring
it to a vote, its advocates tried to
apply Reed's gag laws, and thus
force it on the people. It seemed
that the matter was about settled
and that in a few days the
dent of a hundred years would
overthrown, when all at once, and
again unexpectedly it was thrown
aside, and hope thrown aside
forever. It is said that enough
to keep the measure
down have assured the Democrats
that they will not again vote for it
to be taken up. Nearly two
months time has been consumed
in the matter in the
Senate, and the have
not failed to show it up in its most
hideous light.
The country, and the Democrat-
party especially, is to be con-
on the fight that
been made against it, whether it is
passed after this or not. With a
minority of fourteen the Demo-
Senators had withstood
boldly met every attempt of the
Republican party bosses. The
history of our country affords no
example of x more heroic fight.
All honor to them. They deserve
Senators for the balance of
their lives. They have proven
themselves to be such men as any
party or country should lie proud
of- And while we are thus grate-
to them for their manly fight
we should not overlook the
Senators who stood by
them in their opposition, for with-
out aid the Democrats would
have gone down, and the Force
Bill have been a law before
this. We have grumble
among some because Nevada, with
a scant population, was a member
of the Union with equal rights
with others, let remember
that Nevada has two Senators in
Washington who have done their
country good service in keeping
down the worst measure that could
have been aimed at the South. If
the Force Bill had been passed, or
. if it should now, it is almost certain
, than the great Columbian
would prove a failure. The
Legislatures of the different States
have postponed
it is settled whether it be-
comes a law or not. Should it be-
come a law more than half of the
States will have nothing to do
with the Exposition. This no
doubt had its influence in drop-
ping the bill. We now hope and
believe the bill is dead forever.
And with it the Republican party
will die about as fast as the

It will hardly be possible to
make any Tariff reform before

hands of the Democrats after
MaTch 1891. But the Senate
will still be Republican. Even if
there should be enough
can Senators to vote with the
Democrats on a tariff reform, the
President is committed to the
Bill, and it would take
a two-thirds vote to pass it. By
1893 it is probable that we will

One of the weaknesses of human
of which the wily business man is
not slow to take advantage, is the in-
ability to look with indifference on
goods that are displayed in
nary abundance. There seems to be
something so attractive about a dis-
play of this kind that mankind cannot
resist it. For instance, a Main street
druggist has one of his show windows
I'd with licorice sticks scattered about
in careless profusion. Now, ordinarily,
licorice is a very commonplace article
In the estimation of a person who has
got beyond the age when candy of any
kind is hailed with delight But the
sight of such a profusion as is seen in
the show window referred to is not to
be withstood, and the very noticeable
result is a rapid sale of t lie black sweets.
