STATE BANK ISSUES.

House Consideration OF the Brawley Bill
Continued Yesterday.
There was very small attendance Of MEM
bers in the House yesterday.
Several bills were passed in the morning hour,
and then the Brawley bill to repeal the 10 per
cent. tax on the issues Of state banks was taken
up and discussed by MIR. Coz Dem, Tenn-), Nj
johnson Rep.. INDY, and Mr. Black Dem. GAY
II was decided to observe Decoration Day by
taking holiday.
Mr.. Coz, who favored, repeal said: There Is not
Q state that has debt that does not maintain
states that owe debts draw their obligations
within their own borders, and instead Of suffer.
Ing . continual drainage on their currency in
paying interest, pay their interest to their own
citizens and develop at the same time a medium
Of exchange that can and will advance the pros
perty Of their people.
We have stopped every channel for the
increase OF our currency except the little gold
we may get We have doubled our Indebtedness
upon the pretext OF having solid. stable dollar.
You see the results; turn enterprise, pluck and
energy loose. and let them select their tools,
and the lay for tramps is at an end Let the
states take care Of their own people.
Concerning the danger OF bad circulation,
the speaker said. "The notes Of an insecure
institution would never pass over Its own
counter. They must be regarded as good and
stable as national bank notes or Treasury notes"
Mr. johnson, opposed to repeal, said that he
thought that the bill was fundamentally wrong
in principle. Many new state banking laws
wouli be inevitable and The result very unsatis-
factory. II was foolish to ignore the experience
of the past. He defended the national banking
system against many of the charges made
against IT. He said that, in his opinion, the sub
stitution Of the tax circulations as O safety
fund to secure the circulating notes of national
banks for tho government bond security. to-
gether with certain other minor amendments Of
the national banking law, would secure a sound,
uniform and elastic paper money, and declared
that the plan had been advocated by many lead
ing fnanclers and had been tried successfully
before the war in New York and Ohio, and was
now in successful operation In Canada
Shortly after o'clock Mr.. johnson con-
cluded his speech amid Republican applause
followed by Republican congratulations,
when Mr.. Black, Of Georgia, another MEM
ber Of the committee, was recognized.
He asserted that the Supreme Court had no
more right to bind the House Of Representa-
tives in its actions than the House had to
bind the Supreme Court.
He denied the right of the general govern
ment to enter a sovereign state and interfere
with its internal business affairs under the
guise OF regulating commerce.

TARIFF BILL PROGRAMME.
II WIN Be Rushed Through the House I'm
less There II Opposition.

II win Be Rushed Through the House Tn.
less There Il Opposition.
The tariff leaders Of the House do NOT expect
to have another long tariff light In the House
when the bill comes back from the Senate. On
the contrary, the beliefs that ten days will be
ample to settle all differences between the
House and Senate Tho calculation IL that the
Senate will get through with the bill by June
10 to Is, 90 that the ten days allowed for recon-
CLING differences would permit the bill to 60 to
the President for his signature before June
closes
As soon az tho bill comes back to the House
Chairman Wilson will move disagreement TO
the Senate amendments and . reference to
conference committee This disagreement is q
formality and is not indicative Of any line Of
policy by Mr.. Wilson or his associates In Be-
iecting tho conferees It is expected that the
usual rule giving preference 70 chairmen OF
committees and subcommittee will be observed.
The principal subcommittees of Ways and
Means are those on customs, on internal reve-
nue., and on income tax. The subcommittee on
Breckinridge (Ark.) next Mr.. Wilson will GER
tainly be chosen, and In view Of the importance
Of the customs branch Of the bill Mr.. Breckin-
ridge is also Likely to be named as q conferee.
There is an additional reason for this from the
fact that Wilson s il-health ard recent absence
from Washington has made him rely on the
close attention Mr. Breckinridge has given to
the bill during its Senate stages. Representa-
tive McAlillin (Tenn-) is chairman Of the subcom-
mittee on income tax. and Representative
Turner (Ga.) chairman of the subcommittee on
internal revenue, and both Of these subchair-
men arc likely to be named as conferees
Messrs. Reed and Burrows will undoubtedly be
the Republican conferees, with perhaps one
additional Republican member
After the bill is before the conferees 1t is ex-
pected that a speedy report will be made on all
subjects Of agreement, and also on such items
as the Senate or House conferees may advise
their respective houses to recede. This will
give the senate and House something to work
on, and will also give the conference committee
a diminished number of items to agree upon.
Some of the most radical free traders and ad-
vanced tariff reformers Of the House, however
are disposed not to follow the programme Of
compromise outlined by the Ways and Means
Committee leaders. They have not determined
definitely upon their course, but they declare
that 1t will be better for the members Of the
House TO stand by The Wilson bill and make
their fight in the next campaign upon that than
TO 60 before the country with a compromise bill
constructed by splitting the differences between
the Senate compromise and the Wilson bill
They hint at voting against compromise, some
Of them saying that they are in no hurry to re-
turn to their constituents under present condi-

fication Yesterday.
In conformity with the provisions Of the
legislative, executive, and judicial appropria-
ton bill for the next fiscal year, Secretary
Lamont yesterday dismissed 2s7 clerks from
various divisions OF the War Department.
The appropriations bill, which has passed

patton OF the passage Of the bill Secretary

department. but as yet it is not known when
the second step will be made.

In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Kyle (Pop., s.
D. In order to avoid further conflict over the
passage Of resolution declaring the sense Of
the Senate to be against non-interference
with the affairs of the Hawaiian Islands
agreed to waive vote on his resolution If a
vote could be secured on the Turpie resolu-
tiop reported from the Committee on Foreign
Relations.
Mr.. Vest Dem., No. offered as a substitute
for the Turpie resolution one declaring that
from the facts and papers before the Senate
it would be unwise and inexpedient to con-
slider any project OF annexation; that the
highest International interests require that
the people Of the Sandwich Islands should
choose their own form OF government and line
of policy, and that foreign interference with
the affairs Of these islands would be regarded
as an act unfriendly to the United States.
Mr.. Hoar moved to lay Mr.. Vests substi-
tute on the table. The motion was carried,

CHARITY.

Speaking of the liberality and cheerfulness
with which all classes of the community have
responded to the newspaper appeals for char
ity in the present crisis, Henry George adds:
"Charity cannot right wrong; only justice
can do that. Charity is false, futile, and
poisonous when offered as a substitute for
Justice"
