now free to do as they please, and as the
senate amendments are now dead letter
Mr.. Morrill,, the the chairman of the com
naittee. proposes to amend the original
house tax bill by offering as substitute
the schedule recommended by the tariff
commission and some additional provision
that non-enumerated articles shall bear
the highess duty of any
of the component parts and
if similar articles are on the free list. shall

Some question has been made as to the
power of the senate to amend the house
bill reducing internal revenue merely by
adding a tariff revision, but it would seem
to be we'll settled that when the senate gets
revenue measure of any kind,it has the
fullest right to amend by modifying all
forms of taxation and raising revenue, and
there can be 10 question but that the orig
nal house bill is a revenue bill in the con-
temptation O" the constitution. The road
therefore, is open for the senate finance
committee to act, and there is strong
probability that they will report the tariff
commission bill or somethi ng not natur-
ally varying from it, for the action of the
senate. In this way they may possibly get
ahead of the house in the consideration of
the tariff and internal tax questions. The
house committee will, however, proceed
with dispatch in the preparation of the
tariff bill, and Senator Beck says tonight
that he thinks the senate committee will
wait some time for the action of the
house. Senator Beck is, after completing
his examination of the tariff commission
ers' scheme.much less favorably impressed
with it than at first view. He says that the
scheme is deceptive, that its con-
cessions to reform are mainly IN
the index and not III the
body. that the reduction of duties On chief
articles of consumption are very slight
and mainly in the interest of the manufac-
turers. He speaks of the sugar tariff as
being chiefly in the interest of refiners,
and as bearing hard on the producers Of
sugar.
Mr.. Carlisle is also reported as saying
that the tariff commission bill is a fraud.
Mr.. Randall is still enthusiastic, and says
the house will agree to it.
POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.
The debate in the senate on the resolu-
ton of fraud by Senator Beck to investi-
gate the Jay Hubbellism practiced in
the last campaign shows conclusively
that the Republicans, who have
put Hale up to make side issues are net
tied, and don't want the investigation to
10 ho1u
cratic millionaires contributed to the
Democratic campaign fund. The upshot
of the matter will be that resolution of
some kind Will be passed, but that the IL
quiry will never be proceeded with.
THE BANKRUPT BILL.
The senate met to-day, contrary to its
custom on Saturdays, and endeavors to
dispose Of the bankrupt bill. The real
test vote on the chance of any bill being
passed will ,come on an amendment to be
offered by uenator Hoar to substitute
the Lowell bill for the one now pending.
The chances are far from hattering that
any bill can be drafted which will pass
both houses at this session.
Albert NJ. Wooster, first assistant treas
urer Of the patent Office, has resigned.
1t is understood that reduction of
force and salaries in the civil service is
contemplated.
INDIANA DEMOCRATIC.
Ex-senator Mcdonald, who is here, says
Indiana has only resumed its practi.
cal status, that is really a Democratic
state, and he is confident a Democratic
governor will be elected at the next cleo
ton, and the electoral vote of the state
will be cast for the Democratic nominee
for president.
