WASHINGTON Jan. 16-There are several
bills to be disposed of during the coming
month that cannot be hurried. The navy
appropriation bill, for instance, will keep
the House busy for week, if everybody has
a show at it. With its cutting down of title
and cutting up of privileges it will raise the
sailors who have good places and good pros
poets to a pitch of legislative earnestness
that will bring them down upon the inhuen-
tial members in way to consume much
time, if it does nothing else.
The sundry civil bill will be another long
one, in the matter of discussion, and the
whisky bill will come in for share of time.
Then, there is the report of the Misss-
sippi river special committee to come, with
its minority report, and chance that there
will be an effort to cut down the annual ex-
penditure of large sums of money to try ex-

nels.

TARIFF REVISION.
A Less Promising Outlook for COmplet ing
the Work.


the Work.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-rhe outlook
for tariff revision at this session
is daily growing less promising, and
there are very few who will venture with
any degree of confidence to express the
opinion that either of the pending tariff
measures will pass. But thirty-eight legis-
lative days remain, and although it would
seem that much might be accomplished in
that time with the appropriation bills SO
we'll in hand, past experiences show that
hardly per cent, of the legislation cut out
by the committee at any session ever become
ena6 Ted into laws. After weeks discussion
the Senate has not gone over one-third of the
first schedule 1t would seem to be the
part of wisdom if the Repub-
licans would address themselves to
the revision of the duties on sugar
taxes, save those on whisky and tobacco, and
adopt that portion of the finance commit
tees bill which treats of the administration
of the tariff laws. This would effect a decided
reduction of taxation, and would relieve the
people of most of the vexatious features of
the internal revenue system. Beyond this it
is hardly possible to expect anything.
Every conceivable interest affected by the
tariff revision is represented here, and all
seem to have some grievances. The iron
men, the glass men, the sugar men, the cot
ton men, and the wooden men are the most
conspicuous in numbers. Between them all,
the members of the committees get little
peace, and are beginning to realize what a
thorny path lies before them, the prepara-
ton of the bill being by far the simplest
factor in the problem of legislation.
