Senator Walsh is quoted by a Wash
ington correspondent as having said
day or two ago: II see no reason for
alarm over the tariff situation. The
bill is sure to pass, and in my judgment
it will be disposed of by June Is Those
who desire TO flibuster on the republican
SIDE are in the minority, as the events of
the next few days will prove" 1t is to
be hoped the senator is as good
prophet of congressional action as he is
of southern development. Senators Chan
der aud Allison have already intimated
that there is no understanding on the re-
publican side that there shall be flibus-
tering As TO the date, June IS would be
very good time by which to dispose Of
the bill, but June l would be better.

washington, Aug. 2O,-The senate
finance committee held brief sesslsn
today and ordered favorable reports
on four separate tariff bills passed
week ago. The sugar bin, as agreed
upon. is amended 50 as TO provide for
duty Of 10 per cent straight on sugar
without any dlferentIal on refined
sugar or any extra duty on sugar inn
ported from countries paying a bounty,
in other words is the new tariff bin
rate minus the dinerentisl. Il Is the
Jones amendment except that his
amendment provided for only 30 per
cent. The idea OF tho Democratic
members OF the committee Is that this
rate would furnish sufficient revenue
without giving the sugar trust amy adj
vantage. The coal bill was 80 amended
as 10 provide for reciprocity on this
article by the admission free Of duty
coal imported from countries which
admit from this country free. Coal
imported from countries imposing a
duty on our coal Is to be made dutiable
with the rate IN existence when this
bill shall 20 into effect
The amendment 10 the barhed wire
bin I5Ty5g!dca for the free admission
OF barbed wire and all other fencing
wire and the rods from which theJ
are made. The free iron ore bin was

OF the bnl correcting the alcohol sehed-

session is over to all intents and

muking OF speeches as wen us passing
OF bills. To-day from the time the
senate met until it went into executive
session Senator Lindsan OF Kentucky
was ready to make q speech. The Ken
lucky senator desires to defend the
action Of the senate finance committee
and Democratic senators who support
ed them. IL is also understood that
Senator Allison of Iowa was ready tu
make u speech OF some length on the
present status Of tarlm legislation. IL
Is possible that both OF these speeches
will be made by the courtesy Of the
senate, although the Republicans sid
to-day that no speeches would be made,
and that the mterdlot against any
more business includes also spnecheR.
some OF the Democrats assert, how
ever, that IL any attempt Is made to
prevent the speeches on the Demo

THE TRAMP PROBLEM,

The solution OF the tramp problem in
Southern California is question of the
gravest Importance to the community.
Our mild climate is the chief attraction
to these wanderers, and here they find
comfort and an easy life when other
countries are inclement and inhospita.
BILE. There are two classes OF tramps-
the unemployed seeking work and the
lazy, worthless loafer whose aim in life
ia to avoid honest labor. Among the
latter are many dangerous characters,
whose presence is menace to the com.
munity. The problem is, How shall we
deal with this element and how disoour.
age the invasion steadily growing more
numerous?
The HERALD this morning gives the
views of Mayor Rowan, Chic. of Police
Glass, William Pridham of the Associ.
ated Charities, J Judge Mckinley and Mrs.
Kate Upper Galpin, and Of a tramp now
residing in the county jail. In multi
tude OF counsel there is widom, and
every citizen is privileged TO express his
opinions concerning this question
through the columns of the HERALD, to
the end that such q consensus may re-
suit in practical solution OF the ques-
ton before the evil hecomss too formid.
able for ordinary effort.
The herald., 1894-11-29
THE NEW NAVY.

The secretary OF the navy, In his re-
port just issued, says that the estimates
for this year for increase of the navy.
under armor and armament. and con-
struction and steam machinery, will be
the last OF the large annual amounts re-
CURED for the building up OF the new
navy, 30 far as the eame has been au-
thorized. 1t may therefore be stated
that this is substantially the last pay
ment on account Of the vessels provided
for by law. Unless, then, now con-
structione are authorized. expenditures
under this head will fall with great
rapidity after the next fiscal year and
thereafter entirely disappear from the
annual appropriations. 1t is estimated
that with the expenditure OF not more
than $3.50, 600 for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1897, the existing new navy
will have been entirely paid for. Thus
it will be seen that the expenditures
under increase navy" will decrease at
one bound from the amount asked for
this year. $i5.259, S92. to $75O.000. The
condition OF the work now in progress 10
such that the present estimates are for
an indebtedness which will be due be-
fore the end of this fiscal year.
Without considering the effect OF the
cessation OF this work on industrial con-
ditions, and disclaiming all obligation
of the government to engage In public
works for the sole purpose OF giving
employment to any class, however de-
serving, the secretary urges that from
the standpoint of national defense 1t
will be unwise to stop entirely tho work
of naval upbuilding; that wisdom and
experience demand that the present
we'll organized. highly trained and OK.
ceedingly efficient body of mechanics
and skilled laborers engaged in the work
OF shipbuilding shall not. at least, be
entirely disbanded. With the stoppage
of this work many large plants now at
work for the navy will have to shut
down either completely or in part. and
their corps OF skilled workmen en-
ployed in the various phases of naval
construction and development be dis
charged and scattered. while the plants
and machinery for the production OF
vessels OF war must of necessity become
idle and be allo we'd to deteriorate.
