The Tarin TlnksFa rull at Work Trying to
Formulate some Measure.


Formulate Some Measure,
PHILADELPHIA, March SO.-Mr. Robert
P. Porter telssraphs from Washington 10
the Pres as follows; "Ths Ways and
Means Committee this morning devoted
an hour or two to the consideration oi
the general sections OF what will soon bs
known as the Compromise Tariff bin,
This bill In Its present stage is known as
the Hewitt Administrative bill, but az |
tslsgrsphed Friday night, 1t will soon take
form and shape as the bill to aupsrseda
Morrison's deiunct rate.cutter, for such ia
all his so'called tariff bill really was.
The Treasury Department experts are
doing the heavy work on HeWltt's pro.
posed measure, which, however, will be
marred by the "raw materialn riders,
which Statesman Morrison and Statesman
Hewitt propose to tack on, thus TO undo
all the good that might be accomplished
by the aimplifcation Of the administrative
features OF the tariff law and revision OF
the inequalities.
The dismal failure OF Morrison's second
tariff bill ought TO convince him Of his
utter inability TO frame bill that even his
friends could vote for. But Il does not.
He still ConVulsively clutches the tattered
remnants, and believes he eau yet patch
up someLhing that will pass and be called
q bill. The fact Is Mr.. Randall has COM
pletely Circumyented him by his fore
thought. Aided by the Treasury Depart
ment, he has caused really merltorious
tariff bill 10 be constructed, ignorlng en-
trely the question OF rates. The bill thus
prepared CorreGts the inequalities Of the
tarih, and II 1t were not for Morrison's
and Hewitt's amendments in the shape OF
a free list 1t could be supported by good
proteCtlonists regardless OF party.
It Is humiliation for Morrison, though
he does not realize 1t yet. His own friends
are dis dressed at the second exhibition he
has given OF ingenious inCompetency In
dealing with this vital question. The
question is asked on all hands what will
DO doneH This mornings mail brought
me half score OF letters from different
parts Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jer-
sey all containing this refrain.
The answer is, no one knows. II the
question comes up on the Administrative
bill, which is In fact the only Tariff bill, l
should think 1t would pass the House, and,
with some amendments, the Senate. II
the scattered remains OF the Morrison rail.
road accident are picked up, put in bas.
ket and tied to the measure there Is no &C.
what will happen. In such au
event the sound Republican tariff men
will know what to do, while the Wavering
members Of the Democratic benches may
even be tempted into the supreme folly Of
free wool In order to say they have passed
a tariff bill.

THERE are Democratic newspapers
which are not enamoured Of Mr.. Nor

AIuiion Is one oil them:
The simplest minded person In the
