FRIDAY, MARCH 13,1896.

A Question of Responsibility.
Although the administration has care-
fully refrained from giving to Congress
or the country any intimation of a nec-
essity or desire for an increase of rev-
enue, the Boston Post, an administra-
tion organ, continues to bestow invert-
ed blessings on what is erroneously
calls “a Republican Congress,” because
“the revenues of the government are
not sale." Although the administra-
tion professess full confidence in the
revenue-producing capucty of the pres-
ent tariff, its Boston organ declares
that “Ihe government needs more in-
come f .r ordinary. expeflfit , includzig
under this head the proper and neces‘
sary improvements for the public ser-
vice.” ‘
If our Boston contemporary were not
an organ it would notattemptto delude
its readers with remarks about “this
Republican Congress,” for it know.
that this Congress is not Republican;
that it has only a plurality in the Son-
ate, and is, therefore, incapable of
passing any measure by its own unaided
strength. It is true that the Republi-
can plurality took charge Of the Senate
committees, and, in so doing, assumed
some responsibility that it might well
have avoided. But the responsibility
of a party, like that Of an individuai, is
always proportionate to the power
possessed. In a legislative body where-
of no party has a majority, no party is
clothed with plenary responsibility.
Thirteen months before this Congress
met, the country knew that the House,
the people’s body, would be overwhelm-
ing Republican, and that the Pops ists
would have the balance of power in the
Senate. It. was, and is, asiiuation call-
ing for mutual concessions. When
Congress met the Republican House be-
lieved that its first and most important
duty Was to provide revenues—a duty
neglected by the Fifty-third Congress.
But the Hi use did not hold that it could
- properly frame and pass a revenue hi!
on Democratic lines or that it was un-
der any obligation to make a wholesale
concession of principle. It adopted
the simplest and least provocative plan
for raising the needed revenues. In a
few months the people will decide
wnether the failure of revenue legisla-
tion is chargeable to the party that sup-
ported the emergency bill or the party
that defeated it.
It is evident that the Republican
Flirty has not been strengthened for‘
the Presidential campaign by the Fifty-
i’ourth Congress. Dissensions in both
houses have had a more or less demor a-
lizing influence. But not all the blame
for the failure Of revenue legislation
can be laid at its door.

Whispered in Church.
lna Crabtree, a nine-year-Oldjorphan
girl. has been arrested, fined 85.50 and
sentenced to ten days in jail for whis-
ering in church. In order tO_ deliver
the child up to the jailer it :was neces-
sary to drive her twenty-two miles over
the country in inclement weather. This
did not happen at Salem in the old days
when they were burning people at the
stake to exorcise the devil and make
them good, but it occurred this week
near Portsmouth, Ohio. . It is said that
the child after she has served her son-
tence in prison “will be given a better
home.” From this distance it does not
appear that the child’s present home is
so much at fault as the atmosphere Of
the highly enlightened and Christian
community in which she lives.
