Representative Springer denies the report
that he intends TO voluntarily relinquish his
claim to the Craftsmanship OF the House COM
mittee on WAYS and means. He does more.
He announces that he will spend the summer
in arming himself for the fray. in preparing
for the tariff debates which will. it has been
alleged, consume much of the next session OF
Congress. Mr.. Springer would act unwisely
were he to retire, for aside from the fact that
he is everywhere regarded as the ablest and
most persistent tariff talker in the House he
will have a much easier time than has hereto
fore been enjoyed by leaders of the majority.
Men who in years past occupied that re-
sponsible place have been compelled to
sat up nights racking their brains for reasons as
to why this or that schedule should be amended,
and this mental and physical wear and tear con-
tinued for months. Such exertion will not be
necessary so long as there is democratic control
Of the national legislature, for Messrs. z. Elery
Anderson, Charles S. Fairchild, Thomas G..
Sherman. David A Wells. John De Witt War
ner. Everett p. Wheeler and Jacob Schoenhof,
a special tariff reform committee Of the Reform
Club, have labored exceedingly and have pre-
sented to the public. as they will later present
to Congress, bill which places everything
right side up Mr.. Springer may therefore HE
himself to the prairies or the mountains or the
seashore, Just as seemeth unto him best, and
there acquire sunburn and health without vast
ing thought upon the legislative morrow. He
should be happy man. and if there is beneath
his boutonn;ere single spark Of gratitude he
will shower benedictlons upon the accommo-
dating E. Ellery Anderson ct al.

1t is early in the history of this administers
ton for rumors Of disagreement in the cabinet
to obtain circulation, but the rumors are out
nevertheless. sinsularly enough the gosslps
have selected as the discontinued ones the rank
ing misunderstanding Gresham and Secre-
tary Carlisle-and the men with whom, before
all others the President probably had the clear
est ante-appointment understanding. Judge
Gresham left life position on the United
States bench, while John G. Carlisle
laid aside a certainty Of succeeding
himself as Senator from Kentucky as frequently
as he desired reelection. Both men made ma
terial sacrifices, and as neither Of them is rich
in this worlds good they were hardly careless
enough to enter upon their new duties without
knowing perfectly what would be expected Of
them by their chief. Both men saw his meth
DDS during his first term, and to both Of them
he undoubtedly made plain his administrative
plans for the quadrennial period which is now
one month old. The discord 'canard did not
surprise any one; it is merely q little ahead Of

1t is to be hoped that Secretary Herbert ha 8
not lost interest in the proposition which may
so easily result in the appearance In Annapolis
Roads of at least a large proportion Of the ves-
sells that are to rendezvous at Hampton during
this and the coming week. But few Washing
tonians can possibly visit the feet at Norfolk.
while if the ships-of-war were at Annapolis a
hundred thousand District Of Coiumbians could
and doubtless would crowd the excursion
trains that can be operated. This is a fes.al
sort Of year, and there are countless sound
reasons why the Navy Department should
exert itself a little to please the multitude. II
is hardly probable that within this generation
SO many fine specimens of naval architecture
will again be gathered together in American
waters. Give 1.-THE common people" chance
to see some Of the show!
