WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-A petition was
presented in the Senate by Senator Nor
rill from the Vermont Farmers Associa-
ton, which urges Congress TO increase the
duties on various farm products. The
farmers OF the United States, the petition
says, are undersold in many OF our cities
and towns by the products Of ill-paid or
unpaid foreign labor. Onions from Spain
and Egypt appear in markets as far west
rs Chicago. Tobacco raised by Coolies in
sumatra and imported, the petition says,
by tricks and frauds, lessons the reward
Of American growers. Wool clipped by
slaves, by convicts or by creatures scarcely
less degraded, stops woolgrowing by an
army OF American farmers, and sends co.,
600, 900 Of sheep annually to the slaughter.
Potatoes and cabbages by the cargo from
places where women work daily in the
fields come here as ballast, with eggs by
the ship load from Holland, cattle from
Mexico and barley from Canada.

laws having been reached, MIR. Cannon. oi

Special Dispatch to Tho Appeal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The tariff bill
was received by the House today and
placed on the Speakers table. II may be
laid before the House tomorrow, but il is
more apt to 90 over until hext week.
There is no fear that any opposition will
be made on the Democratic side TO its inn
mediate reference TO the Ways and Means
Committee. What will be done with il
there the members have not yet decided.
The situation, however, appears TO make
Il imperative that they take some action
on the Senate bill. II they do not Mr..
Pandall has a substitute to offer which he
thinks can be passed in the House, and to
allow him to do that would be TO permit
him to regain his old time power The
only thing for the Ways and Means Com
mittee TO do under the circumstances ap-
pears to be TO anlagonize Mr.. Randal's
proposition with substitute OF their own
which would satisfy. the internal rev.
enue men on the Democratic side. That
is what they expect TO do. This
hAAA hihNulA w ~ lflNNaA VI AANN lkuN b'-
tween Messrs. Mills and Randall that took
place when the Mills bill was originally
called up. The substitute tine committee
will offer will probably include free wool,
the correction OF the worsted and wooden
schedules. and the internal revenue por-
iions OF the Mills bill which are the same
as the Cowles bill referred to by Mr.. Ran
dal's committee, and which were drawn
mp by Mr.. McAlillin, Of Tennessee, and a
series Of adjustments, etc, for which there
is u demand. They think that they could
pass such substitute without trouble.
Tic situation is. however, an interesting
one, and IL may be that the concluding
days Of the Fiitieth Congress will be occu.
pied 10y partisan tariff debate similar to
that which gave no much color to the iirsi
session. Before the tariff bill went TO the
House from the Senate this afternoon there
was indorsed ON Il in compliance with the
motion OF Mr.. Allison adopted 10y the Sem
ate, that the Senate adds 10 lis amend
ments andrequests a conference. This Is an
unusual, but not Unprecedented course tc
pursue, and is adopted for the purpose oi
expediting the consideration OF the bill.

The president Of Cornell university gives his
hearty commentator to the work of the de-
partment of journalism established there last
year. There is no reason, certainly, why such
a department should not prosper if properly
conducted; and the prospect is that before
many years every university worthy the name
will have chair of journalism. 1t takes good
while to beat in upon unprogressive minds,
either in the newspaper business or engaged in
educational work, the idea that there is prac-
tical as well as a high-and-mighty side to
journalism, and that a young man has to
undergo, as preparation for any sort of news
paper work, a certain training in the use of his
mother tongue, which the ordinary rhetorical
exercises in the class room do not give him. If
he comes raw from the hands of the professors
of history, logic and philosophy into a news
paper Office, his soul is apt to be so filed
with the great problems of social destiny that
it is hard for him to get down to the plain,
everyday duty of reporting fire or railway
collision. That simple, direct, concise, COM
plete style required for good narrative and de-
scriptive work can be taught him in a college as
well as out of it, and would save the city editor
a deal of hard work and put the youth a long
way ahead on the road to professional promo
ton.
