and therefore The full democratic vote wa,
not brought out. The republicans, how
ever, were divided into squads of 10 vot-
ers, each squad having a leader who took
his ,sien TO the polls provided with prih.
ed ballots at 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
From To O'Clock the republicans poured
IN the votes, and the result was the defeat
of the democrats. Mr.. Morrison is strong

ways and means committee. He will be
there and he will introduce another tariff
bill and report it at the next session Of
congress Whether it passes or not de-
pends on how many republican allies are
to be found in the democratic ranks II
is very likely that the democrats will be
united on this question and that the ma
jority of the house and the administrator
will be in accord.
No one has heard q word from Mr. Car
Isle As to his views concerning the
organization of the next House. Although
it Is as certain as any future event can be
that Mr.. Carlisle will be re c-elected he will
he was already chosen. There is a strong
feeling. however, against making Mr..
Randall chairman of the appropriation
committee, and against again giving To
that committee almost unlimited power
1t was suggested by a prominent democrat
that Mr. Randall be given "a place on the
ways and means committee in view of his
recent conversion to revenue reform, 50
that his opinions may be Of some avail

formation. Even if he should still lean
too much toward protection he will u, o.t
voted by his seven democratic colleagues
The suggestion is. then, that Mr.. Hewett
be made chairman of the appropriation
committee. He is perfectly familiar with
the work of the committee and his free raw
material bill is not regarded with favor by |
the other revenue refOrmers. Mr. Morri- |
son does not believe in reducing taxes for |
the benefit of the manufacturers alone |
Experience shows that manufacturers do |
not voluntarily give low prices to the
consumers, and reduction of the cost of |
manufactures is not generally followed by |
a reduction in the price of the manufac- |
tured article The work of making up the |
appropriations bills might then be distri-
buted among the other committees which |
are now almost idle. The jurisdiction of |
the appropriations committee might be |
confined to the legislative and executive, |
the sundry civil bills The military com
mittee would make the appropriation bills
for the army. West Point and Notifications;
the naval committee the appropriation bills |
for the navy and the naval academy; the |
judiciary committee the bill for the judi
ciary establishments the Indian affairs
committee the bill for Indians; the foreign
affairs committee the diplomatic BILL and
the pensions committee the pensions bill.
This would follow the precedent establish
ed by giving the agricultural bill to the
committee on agriculture This scheme
would be submitted to the next speaker
and to the committee on rules
