Mr. Blaine has rented a house in
Washington and will be in readi¬
ness to take charge of the Harri¬
son administration from the time
it begins. He is apparently con¬
fident that lie is indispensable.
Mr. Sherman also announces him¬
self ready to become Secretary of
State, if wanted. It will hen good
thing for the country if the ambi¬
tious rivals kill each other—polit¬
ically of course.
Senator Sherman said in bis
place last winter that when com¬
binations "wore formed by manu¬
facturers to prevent a reduction of
price by competition the combi¬
nation ought to be met by a re¬
duction of tariff duties. This is
the right sort of talk. The diffi¬
culty about the situation is that
Senator Sherman resolutely re¬
fuses to see that such combina¬
tions have been formed.
