They propose to concentrate legislation up in the Tariff and Silver questions, and no time is to be frittered away in beginning the work upon them. The Tariff is to be revised, which is to say not improved, simplified, freed of errors and conflicting provisions. Revision to the Democratic mind has uo such meaning; it has one meaning only, and qnite a different one, to wit. Reduction. The Silver question is to be settled in pretty much tho same radical fashion, which is to say that the Bland aot, providing for the coiuage of 2,000,000 staudard silver dollars per month, is to be repealed.

This policy has been formulated by the Secretary of the Treasury, and is cordially approved by the President, consequently it is the policy of the administration that Congress is to adopt and make its own. We do not wish to say anything to discourage the Democracy at this early stage of the game they propose to play in Congress, but though the things they have decided to do are not numerous, they are, apparently, rather difficult of execution. The Silver question is one that will bear a great deal of consideration beforo being finally settled, and in settling it the President and the Democratic House will probably hear the opinions of the country, of the bankers, manufacturers, mor. chants and other men of business regarding it, and it is not at all unlikely that the voice of business will be very influential in shaping the mode of fiual settlement. No one at present believes that the Bland act will be repealed, though it is quite possible that an agreement may bo fleeted by its friends and opponents by virtue of which the operation of the aot will be temporarily suspended.

Ropeal in the present state of the country's financial situation would he a rather violent resort. But when the administration or tho Democratic House come to settlo tho Tariff question by the apparently simplo process of horizontal reduction, we doubt if they will find accomplishment as easy as undertaking. Tho prominent free trado leaders pretend to believe that the horizontal Reduction bill of the last Congress was defeated solely by the efforts of Mr. Randall, who, being at tho head of the Appropriation Committee, continuously delayed the Morrison bill by throwing an Appropriation bill in its way whenever it came to the front. Mr.

Randall is not to be allowed to do that in the coming session. Eithor he is not to bo made Chairman of the Appropriation Committee, or a rule is to be adopted distributing tho various Appropriation bills among some of the other Committees of the House. This is a very pretty plan, but we fear it will not work. It might do very well If Mr. Randall wore not Mr.

Randall, but, instead, the obscure member from some obscure district, taking his seat on the floor of the House for the first time. But it will not do, because Mr. Randall has been in the House before, becauso he is not an obscure member from an obscure district; because he is a great powor in his party and in Congress; because he represents in the House a great constituency not coiiflucd to either his district or his State, and because, in short, neither the Democratic party nor the Democratic administration can afford to Ignore or humiliate Mr. Randall. But if they could crush out the opposition of Mr.

Randall to their free trade schemes, the Democrats would be powerless to get their measure of reduction beyond the House. The Republican Senate would lliiig it out of doors without ceremony, and Vthen the Democrats proclaim that they have adopted a Tariff revision, meaning thereby a tariff reduction policy, which they are determined to execute at the next session of Congress, they are simply couuting without their host They are not going to do anything of the kind, becauso they cannot do it without Republican concurrence, and the Republican Senate is not going to concur In any House Revenue bill the abiding principle of which does not offer absolute protection to American capital and labor. The Democrats scorn to think that because they control the House and the Executive Department that they are the administration. They forget that the Senate, a co-ordinate branch of the Legislature, without the consent ot which no measure can become law, is unconquerably Republican. The Democats can neithor dragoon nor Induce the Senate to submit to a reduction of the tariff in the direction of ultimate free trade, and all efforts to that end will bo folly.

tive candidates; which is to say, enough to re-eleot Mr. Sherman his own successor in the United States Senate. Very many of hir party cannot sympathize with Senator Sherman in his Southern policy, but there is no unprejudiced mind in the Republican organization whioh does not recognize that he is one of the ablest of its leaders, and that thoro are few Americans in public life who approach nearer to the stature of a statesman than be. Mr. Sherman is a typical Amori can, and most fitly represents his countrymen in leadership, both in politics and in statesmanship, and an exchange from him to Mr.

McLean would be one which would involve too much loss to bear patient consideration. The country is to be congratulated doubly upon the Ohio victory, aud it would have been better for the Republicans to have lost the office of Governor than that of Senator of the United States. The Law and Order Society is really doing excellent service to tho cotnmunitv by proceeding so vigorously against those disreputable liquor dealers who insist upon selling liquor on Sunday. Those who have license to pursue the traffic on six davs of the week have none to pursue it on the sev enth, and, if they do it at all, they do it in defiance of both the statutory law and that of public sentiment. The good that Is ef fected by the Law and Order Society is not at all confined to the closing on Sundays, or to the revocation of the licenses of those disreputable houses asrainst which thev successfully proceed; it reaches far beyond that in the closing of very large numbers of other houses which fear to open on Sunday lest they should also bo proceeded against.

The police authorities have apparently been unable to prevent the general sale of liquor on the Sabbath day, and what they failed to do the Society is doing very effectively. It, however, could do nothing if it were not so ably seconded in all its just efforts by the judges of our courts, who have in these liquor cases shown in a most remarkably gratifying degree their absolute independence of all considerations except those ol the most Impartial justice. The bench of I'inladelphia was never before so distinguished for ability or fidelity. Its wisdom prevents errors of judgment; its integrity prevents errors of feeling or prejudice. The best thing of all rceardine it is the absolute confidence and respect in which It is hold by the community, and especially by those most lamiliar with its learning, wisdom, impartiality and honor.

Last tear England imported quarters of wheat and produced abou' 7,750,000 quarters, making a total supply of 25,750,000 quarters. Recent estimates place the probable consumption at 000 quarters in round numbers, though It is claimed that the actual amount used for food and seed must have been much less than this, because there is a heavy surplus on hand. A current summary in the Lon- don Timet makes out the yiold of the present harvest to ba 9,421,000 quarters, aud if the consumption is estimated at last year's figures this would givo a requirement of quarters to be imported, or 2,571,000 quarters less than last year. There are several factors that may alter the result of this calculation very greatly, the most Important of these being the price. The demand lor food purposes extends in exact correspondence with the dcclfne in price, and at the low prices that have been ruling the consumption of former years affords no measure of what it may be during the current year.

With white wheat as cheap as black beans pooplo will eat bread rattier than pottage, and this is an element that has not been considered in the above estimates. A problem might possibly be worked out to show to what extant the low prices would increase the consumption, but it would be a complicated sum in the mathematics of domestic economy, and for present purposes it will, perhaps, suffice to observe that the amount of what our British cousins want to buy of us this year will depend very greatly on the amount of money we want them to pay for the same. Unquestionably, this has been a bad season for publio exhibitions in this city. The Horticultural Society, after giving the finest show it has had for many years, found Itself out of pocket the State Fair closed with a large deficit to offset last year's profitable season, and the Novelties Exhibition, though it presents much to interest and Instruct the public, is visited by no such surging crowds as those which filled its aisles last fall. To the visitor this is an advantage; it enables him to see everything comfortably and at his leisure; but to the management it represents a diminished income, and possibly a deficiency.

At the samo time the theatres are so well attended that the "profession" look upon Philadelphia as one of the best "show towns" in the country, and those that present popular pieces are crowdod night after night. Why is this? Has tho day of exhibitions gone by, or are the people no longer interested in anything but amusement? Certainly, poverty is no explanation, for it costs twice as much to go to the theatre as to an exhibition. It is a problem that remains to be solved. The Park Commission yesterday, without a single dissenting vote, and after a most exhaustive inquiry into the matter of the alleged irregularity of the Superintendent of the Park, in acting as President of a Drainage Company, which did work and did it thoroughly well and cheaply at Belmont Mansion, adopted a series of resolutions concluding as follows: 'There appears to be no ground whatever to question the efficiency, integrity and honor of the Superintendent in his official capacity or to impair in the least the confidence hitherto placed in him by the Park Commission." The vindication of Superintendent Thayer is thus made complete, as every one who is familiar with the charaoter of that gentleman knew that it must be. The charge was one that business jealousy and envy alone suggested, and it was therefore the more readily disproved.

The Pittsburg Commercial Qazetl wants the President to issue his Thanksgiving proclamation before he hears from New York, because he might forget it after that sad event. But it is not well to jump too hastily at conclusions: which of the possible results in New York the President would consider a sad event has not yet been decided. ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS.

By a vote at the Mauch Chunk soldiers' monument fair E. H. Rauch, editor of the Democrat, was declared to be "the ugliest man" in that town, receiving 385 votes. The competition was exceedicgly spirited, and added largely to tie monument fund. If the United States Senate should be a tie two years bence its dullness would be relieved by some grand old Democratio rulings from Father Ueuuiicks.

The Ontario Niagara Falls Park Com-misMoners have completed their task of selecting the lauds for making a free publio park on the Canadian side of Falls and gorge, and are beginning negotiations with the owoers to fix the values of the lands to be taken.

The park will contain about 113 acres of land, and be two and a half miles long.

Washington is a local option town and no saloon licenses are granted. In the course of a charming sketch of the late Lord Houghton, in the Fortnightly Review, by the editor, T.

H. 8. Eacott. occurs the following clever story derived from one of Lord Houghton's friends, who says: "My laundress had come to me one day in floods of tears because her little boy of eleven years old, but looking, she said, much younger (being email of stature), had wandered off with another little boy of about the same age to a common near London, where they fonnd an old mare grazing. The urchins put a handkerchief in the month of the mare to serve for a bridle, got both of them on her back, and triumphantly rode her off, but were committed to Newgate for horse stealing.

My laundress (not wanting In means) took measures for having her cbilddnly defended by counsel, but I though'', it cruel that the fate of the poor little boy should ba resting on the chancre cf a soltmn trial, and I mentioned the matter to lines (afterwards Lord Houghton). He Instantly give toe right counsnl. Tell yonr laundress to take care that at the trial both the little boys both, mind shall appear in nice clean The effect, as my laundress described it to me, was like magic The two little boys in their nice pinafores appeared in the dock, and smilingly gazed round the court. 'What is the meaning of thief said the judge, who had read the depositions and now saw the pinafores. 'A case of horse-stealing, my '8 tuff and non sercei'said the judge with Indignation.

'Horsestealing indeed! The boys stole a Then the pinafores so sagaciously suggested by Mllnes bad almost an ovation in court, and ill who had bad to do with the prosecution were made to sutler by the judge's Indignant comment."

A rnoroMTiON to boyoott Chinose labor has been started in Oregon; but right at the start it meets with the difficulty that the people who profit by Cuiuese labor have no wish to boycott It which rathor interferes with the success of tho project.

Now we know how to account for Hamilton county's election eocoutricitios.

When will the cable chrouicler loarn to talk English? When he informs the Western World that "The Porte has called for a second levy of redifs," how is the W.

"Austria Is preparing for eventualities," "Austria and Russia have agreed to act in concert for the settlement of the Balkan question," "England has refused to join Austria in coe; cing Greece," It will occur to unprejudiced observers that Austria is working the situation for all it is worth.

Thb city of Milwaukee, which has a large German element in its population, is discussing seriously the question whether or not the German language should be taught in the public schools. There is no doubt that a course of both German and French would be of more benefit to the rising generation than several of the studies they are compelled to pursue, but the reason for asking the innovation is not a good one. It is that German may continue to be the language of American citizens whose fathers came from Germany, and this is wrong. Americans should read, write and speak the American language. How would a proposition to have the public schools teach the English language be received in Germany? RELIGIOUS NOTICES.

In tho unexpectedly large majority for the Republican candidate for Governor in Ohio, and the closeness of the Legislative vote, it is suspected that the hand which is seen is the fine hand of Mr. McLean, the Democratio aspirant for tho Sona-torshlp.

It was fully given out prior to the election that the friends of Mr. McLean were very much more interested in his Senatorial success than in that of Mr. Iloadly, and that it was just possible that there might be expected some lively swapping of Gubernatorial for Legislative votes. All this may bo a vile slander, of course, but it is astonishing how well some of the Democratio candidates for Senators and Representatives ran in districts which gave enormous majorities for Mr. Foraker.

If, as suspected, the game of barter was played by Mr. McLean's friends, it might as well have been left unplayed, as it is settled that not only have the Republicans elected their candidate for Governor by nearly twenty thousand plurality, but that they have elected a satisfactory majority of Legisla.
