Mr.. Bainc is surely the most monu-

THAT TROUBLESOME BABY;
Tariff Bill OF the Republican Senate Is
In the Throes.


Special Dispatch to The Appeal
WAsnIsGToS, Aug. 2i.-The passage OF
Mr.. Edmund's resolutionsin the Senate TO
change the meeting hour from IL to IL
o'clock means that the Senate is inlno hurry
now and has little work TO do. II also
means that the Republican tariff bill isnot
to be completed just yet, but that hear
ings will continue. II has also become
perfectly apparent since the discovery was
made that there will he practically no sur
plus this year, that no tariff bill will be
passed by the Senate this session.
The members Of the finance
committee who are working on
the bill know that they will not pass IT,
and they do not intend TO try. There Is
every reason for believing that these fig
urcs showing the non-existcncc OF the
surplus were prepared and their publica-
ton secured by Senator Allison, and that
he points 10 their showing M very good
reason why no tariff bill is necessary, but
while the finance committee have decided
to pass no bill. they have also decided TO
keep right along hard at work and run the
session in the tariff hearings into October
and perhaps November.
Those senators are playing n shrewd
game OF politics, and they say that they
are well satisfied with the result that Is
being accomplished. The plan Of the Re-
publican senator's is 10 keep on taking tes-
timony, listening TO the regrets OF mauu-
iacturers, and getting up bill that meets
with their views, and allow the elections
| 20 come ON with tho bill still under con-
sideralion. Ii may he reported to the
Senate before November, but II II is II
will be only for the purpose Of allowing a
series Of speeches 20 be made. The Re
publican senators have many diff
lerent views rs 10 what the va
rious schedules oi new bill should
contain, but they are not practically
united In the opinion, and thai
good politics demands they keep the sub
ject in the mir. They think that by lnaN.
ing IL open until election time, with icsti'
mony being taken and hearings given "a
all business interests not satisfied with lhv
present tariff law or the Mills bill, and
still being NJ liberty 20 attack that mca,
ure without being compelled TO defend oac
OF their own, they would b. adding great
strength to the Republican position. They
therefore have decided TO hold TO thcir
bill and not let II get out Oi their hands
before election. II may reach the Senate,
perhaps, unless the present session lasts
until the new year. The finance commits.
zion bill will still be before the Scuate,
either in committee or on the calendar.

MR. THLRMAM

An esteemed correspondent suggests
that the phrase "the nobest Roman OF
them all" as applied to Mr.. Thurman Is
in danger OF being run in the ground
IT begins TO suggest, our correspondent
thinks, "old fossil, an cpithet which the
Ohio statesman never can deserve as
long ms hc lives, because he is as young as
his ago and is in sympathy with the most
advanced thinkers OF his party. "Noblcst
American" would, IuE APPEAL submits,
be more appropriate soubriquot or title,
and would, in Mr.. Thurman's case, have
meaning and be quito significant OF hls
place among the leading public men OF ouI
dgv. Mr.. Thurman Is ~ far beyond the
noblcst Of Romans, even in tho besl
DAYS Of the Republic before 1t declined II
the presence OF terrorism, as TIM
age is beyond that, and the American
people are advanced beyond the Romans
II is. therefore, in all respects and IN an!
aspect a misnomer to call Mr.. Thurman
'thc noblcst Roman" The higher an'
nohler title of the "noblcst American" !
moro appropriate, and by it he shoul'
hereafter be known, II by any title. b.
il not even that distinction unnecessary
Can any addition Of words make his pat
Thurman more weighty, NOR
distinctive, OF elevate him higher in tn

mem Mr. Thurman's is great name
and no title or soubriquet can make
greater. No phrase can add n mite I
