Tbe Republican* and pro tec tioniats, if not restrained, would aoon get rid of the surplus by legislative extravagance which it invites, just to create an apparent necessity or taxation. The Courier Journal closes an ed itorial on tbe tariff bill tersely as follows: The President baa done bis duty. The members of tbe Way* and Means Committee have done tbeira. If neeemary let tbe Speaker, fol lowing tbeoxxnpte of Mr Clay, l«ave tbe Chair aad lead tbe debate on tbe floor, and tbeo Jet tbe whole power of the party caucus be invok Oil, -v. ; 0 o It is time cow to deci le wbo is witb us and wbo ia against us. Minnesota, as baa been announced, baa indorsed Mr, Cleveland, and stst ed her willingness to stand or fall on 'be issue involved in bis message. Here it an item that throws editions! light on political matters in that State. If the Republicans want to lose Minnesota,says one of the papers out that way, “all they bare to d<> is to refuse to pass a tariff reform bill.” Some leading Republicans in tbe State are reported to bare said that the great question w ith tbe people is the reform of tbe present tariff, and that Mr. Cleveland's position on the subject accord# with that of tbe citi *ent of Minnesota, irrepective of par ly lines. —---« • • ------- — When Grover Cleveland was dec ted President many people, wbo bad been unfavorably impreased by the slanders of tbe campaign, regarded him *# a man of very moderate abil ity.

As a matter of fact there is no sp- j proach to free trade in this bill; it is I a compromise measure for the reluc tien of taxation, as Mr. Breckinridge j declared. If it is defeated tbe Re < publicans must assume tbe reponsi bilry of defeat. It is not to be sup posed that such a measure of re lief can fail to pass even been a Republican delay in its | Senate.
