CHANGES IN THE TARIFF BILL.

There Will Be Many and Senator Harrison
Wants Them in Writing.
The negotiations between the Democratic
members of the Senate Committee on Finance
and the Democratic Senators who are dissat-
isfied with the tariff bill, which were begun
soon after Senator Hill made his speech on
the income tax, have been continued with
more or less regularity since that time and
have progressed sufficiently to justify the
prediction that many changes will yet be
made in the bill. The negotiations have been
conducted largely by Senators Jones and
German, representing the differing elements.
They have not reached conclusion on any of
the schedules, and probably would not go to
the extent of announcing an agreement, even
il it should be reached. before consulting with
other Democratic leaders in the Senate, but
they have gone far enough to justify the be-
lief that before the bill shall be put upon its
passage the conservatives will have secured
concessions of a nature to make sure of the
passage of the bill by the full Democratic vote
in the Senate.
Among features of the bill which it is safe
to say will be changed is the income tax.
which will be greatly modified if present
plans do not miscarry. There will also be
many changes in the various schedules, be-
ginning with chemicals and going well
through tue Dill. lnueeu, tue present OUT
look indicates that almost every schedule may
be more or less altered to comply with the de-
mands of the New York. New Jersey and
Maryland Senators and Senator Brice, of
Ohio. 1t is not probable that in every in
stance. or in majority of them, the changes
10 be made will be what the conservatives de-
mand, but they will be sufficiently marked to
secure their votes and thus unite the party
upon the bill.
There is good reason for believing that Sem
ator Smith had assurances Of these changes
before delivering his speech of last Tuesday,
as it is known that he rewrote a large portion
OF it after preparing the first draft and after
conferences with members of the Finance
Committee.
When Senator Harris was asked about the
prospect of amending the bill, he said that no
agreement had been reached. but that it was
true. as generally understood, that the NAL
contents in the Democratic side of the Senate
Were clamorous fer changes, and that he had
suggested that they put their demands in
writing, so that they could be intelligently
considered.
When this should be done he would be able.

Money Makes a Difference.


At no time within the remembrance Of the
Oldest inhabitant has Washington ever failed
to welcome all people who decided to come here
with a remarkable expression of hospitality and
courtesy If the expected visitor possessed ample
means to pay for his entertainment Diiigent
inquiry has failed to discover a single instance
where n soldier has met a man on the border of
the District and, with bayonet thrust, told him
he was not wanted il he had no money Our
solons have stood on that sacred spot where our
laws are made, and have gazed and squinted
until their eyes ached to catch a glimpse of the
first representative who arrived with million
dollars to defray his legitimate expenses.
Gen Ordway never got out his militia to pre-
vent an entrance of that sort, and the finest
have always bowed with profound Difference
when this individual got to town. Things are
now changed. The citizens of the republic are
coming, and they welcomed much as the
laboring people of Rome were prior to one Of her
greatest tragedies
Hence: home, you idle creatures get you home;
Is this a holiday? What know You not,
Being mechanical, you ought not walk
Upon a laboring day."

Dresses for Girls.

to mothers planning how to dress their little
girls who are little only in years, having ac-
quired, as many girls of from to IA years do
acquire, an altogether redundant avoirdupois.
that any style which does not outline the
waist line adds to the slender effect. 1t may
be said in passing that more than stout girls
may make note of this, says the New York
Times.
The frock which falls from yoke or the
empire style is becoming to these overstout
girls. and when they have outgrown those a
skirt and loose jacket opening over a shirt
waist is the next best fashion. Gimps, with
short. fullwaisted frocks. accentuated the size

Fact and Fancy.

Painting is caused by an interruption Of the
supply cf blood to the brain. The head must
be lowered Immediately. Often laying the
person down will revive her without other
measures. The head may be allowed to hang
over the side for few minutes. Smelling
salts may be held to the nose and heat ap-
piled over the heart to stimulate its action.
Open a window or outer door to admit
plenty OF fresh air and unfasten the clothing
to permit circulation of the blood. In severe
cases. where unconsciousness is prolonged. a
mustard plaster may be placed over the heart.
If the breathing stops. artificial respiration
can be begun. 1t is useless to try to give
stimulants by mouth unless the person is suf-
fcently conscious to be able to swallow The
attack usually passes off in few minutes, but
the patient should be made to lie still and be
kept quiet for some time after it.
Men or women who have always a tale to
tell Of ''how he suffered that way himself''
should be kept out Of the patients room.
Their sympathy will do harm every time. In
the sick chamber, If the patient can see COM

CHEEKY talk, and the creature with '.symp-
toms" can talk man into having any and

hour. sick man should be led to forget his
ills. and not to rehearse them or compare

| A Comparison of Present Conditions With
Those In . Beautiful Poem.
| To the Editor Of TEE TNHs:
| Alfred Tennyson, the brightest poetic genius
Of the Victorian age, was a seer a. well as poet
No person who will now read "Locksley Hail." q
poem written more than nifty years ago, will ever
doubt that he .'looked into tho future far as hu-
man eye can Sec"
The armies of tho unemployed are marching
and countermarching all over this land. Several
divisions are moving slowly in the direction of
Washington. Did not Tennyson see 1t all whom
he wrote:
"slowly comes hungry people. as lion, creep
Glares at one that mods and winks behind q
slowly dying fire."
The unemployed are creeping higher" and
how apt the figure .as q lion" when they come
naked and hungry. The government, the col
lective constituted authority, "nods and winks,"
ana liberty and government OF the people, BY
the people. and for the people, Is the SLOWLY
dying fire."
Coxey's army is moving How suggestive Of
this Is another couplet In the same poem:
Far along the worldwide whisper Of the south
wind rushing warm
With the standards Of the peoples plunging
through the thunder storm"
The hope they cherish that the government
may yet do something TO rescue the perishIng
people is to them the ''whisper Of the south wind
rushing warm" The banner OF peace on earth,
good will to men" is literally plunging through
on that banner. 1t was given to men by One
who loved them, and it has been plunging
through the storms OF centuries He who gave
1t was reckoned more a crank than Coxey, and
was more despitefully used by the ruling classes
than Coxey will ever be.
The standards of the people Of this country
are plunging through storms of adversely and
depression the like Of which we have never
known Tennyson's prophetic vision beheld all
the dangers, the trials and the tribulations that
were to beset the people Yet he saw farther
and gave US hope:
'Yet doubt not through the ages one increas-
ing purpose runs,
And the thoughts Of men are widened with the
process of the suns"
He had faith In the common sense of the peo-
pie, for he told that
''The common sense of most shall hold fretful
realm in awe"
We must not lose faith in the "common sense
OF most" 1t is the bulwark Of democratic insti-
tutions, the rule Of the majority. The coming Of
Coxey will in no wise diminish the common
sense of most" He may arouse most from
their lethargy He will surely make most
realizo that there is something radically, per-
haps we should say criminally, wrong in our in
stitutions when millions of men, women, and
children are in want to the verge Of starvation
in a land of plenty.
Don't sneer at the Coxey movement Don't
slur the men who have not where to lay their
heads They are brothers of our common race.
Their condition is bad, but they have hearts and
souls, appetites and nakedness to be clothed.

they have no control at present keep them on

To the Editor of THE TINES:
These popular movements, this unrest Of the
fornia, from the Dakotas to Texas the march of
the "industrial army under Gen. Quixote Coxey,
contributions by sympathetic and sentimental
and clean collars and neckties, are in some as
poets ludicrous. farcial, idiotic. A march to
Washington TO influence the legislation Of Con-

saders on the steps of the Capitol Professions

halt to rest in the public parks, with distribu-
fion Of bread and cheese furnished by charityl
What folly as you look at 1t one way. Yet in
fact and in truth howbminously significant OF q
fearful force and power underneath and behind,
half-suppressed, ill-concealed, and all the more
dangerous because unreasoning and misguided.
What Macaulay, the great historian, said and
predicted more than fifty years ago has come
TO pass In letter to Mr. Randall, the biogra-
pher of jefferson, he criticised freely the
weak points Of our institutions and form of
government "Your constitution" Il quote from
memory lis all sail and no anchor. Your coun-
try has been prosperous, because labor has been
employed, because population has not been
crowded because lands are cheap, and subsst-
ence easily obtained. But wait until your people
become as crowded as the people of Middlesex,
then you will see bread riots and popular out
breaks that will either be put down by bullets
and bayonets, or will essentially change the
on, to the same effect
Carlyle was right, too, when he said, also a
half century ago, in one Of his Latter Day PAM
phlets" quoted again from the recollection):
These blind and sullen movements of the hun
CRY unemployed lin England, this insolence and
this arrogance OF inherited wealth-two boiling,
seething, and antagonistic whirlpools, side by
side, with only n thin partition between-cannot
be kept apart forever! That fimsy partition
will burst asunder at the least, the slightest
ira shock, and then the hell of waters is upon
you, and what help" and so the grim old philos-
opher goes on and on in language that will well
apply to things now taking place, Mr.. Editor,
under your nose.
