THE TARIFF BILL.

THE TARIFF BILL.
By vote of 81 to 1, six of the
forty -four democrats being absent,
the democratic senators in caucus
adopted resolution agreeing to sup
port the tariff bill of the finance
committee, including the compro-
mise amendments that have been
agreed upon by the many conferences
of democratic senators during the
past two weeks. The resolution was
presented by Senator German, of
Maryland, the chairman Of the eau
Gus, and was discussed at some
length. The six absent senators
were, 1t is claimed, all accounted for
and assurances were given that they
would support the tariff bill. The
only persons in whose absence there
might be any significance are Sena-
tors Murphy and Mills, the under
standing being that all others were
in accord with any bill supported by
the majority of the democratic sena-
tors.
Hill, of New York, voted nay and
spoke against the bill. Smith, Of
New Jersey, who had heretofore
opposed the bill, said he would vote
for it.
The two principal speeches made
during the caucus were those of Sem
ator Jones explaining the reasons for
and the origin Of the compromise,
and giving some Of the details Of the
amendments, and by Senator Hill in
opposition to the bill as it was pro-
posed to amend it. Senator Jones
said that he had seen the necessity
for amending the bill, and after Civ
ing the matter due considera ion had
concluded that 1t was possible that
the bill as first reported had not been
sufficiently considerate of the inter-
ests of all seections. He had then
endeavored, in connection with
others, to remedy these defects as he
saw them, and in doing 30 had tried
to consult senators representing all
shades Of opinion. He gave the
reasons why the majority Of the
democratic senators representing the
south and west wanted the income
tax and why the minority from the
north and east were opposed to 1t,
and said that while out of Difference
to the majority it had been kept in,
the minority had been granted the
limitation OF the time that the law
should continue in force, and that,
while the period had not been fixed,
it would probably be placed at five
years. He said also that many OF
the inquisitorial features OF the bill
had been omitted, but the amount
exempted and the rate Of taxation
had not been changed. He said also
that the sugar schedule had been
changed 80 as to provide for an ad
valorem duty Of 40 per cent. and an
additional duty of 1sc on refined
sugar, with penalty of one-tentf
of cent on sugar imported from
countries paying bounty, the pres
ent law with the bounty to stand
until the first Of January next. He
said that the ad valorem tax was moi
materially different from the sugal
provision in the pending bill. HI
also stated that a large number o
other amendments had been mad'
but did not mention them In detail

The Kaw's Mouth, Kansas City's bright
humorous paper, relates this
A railroad conductor told me a
good story, on white headed
granger, the other day:
The old fellow came into a
crowded chair car, from the rear.
All the seats were taken, except
the two up in front, next to the
smoking room. The old fellow
walked along the aisle until he came
to these two vacant seats. AS he
stepped in to be seated, he spied
himself in the handsome mirror that
covered the end of the car.
He had no more than seen himself
until he pulled off his hat, made
polite bow and said to himself
in the looking glass:
"Howdy do, sir; pears like I've
seed you afore."
The applause of the car load
of people cut short what further
remarks the old fellow might have
desired to make.
He stopped, looked curiously at
himself and when he saw the mis-
take he had made, he sat down
just about like you would drop
sack of -four out of second story
window.

METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE.
The general conference of the
Southern Methodist church, which
meets every four years, and is the
only law making body in that de-
nomination, is in session in Memphis,
Tennessee.
Bishop Cranberry, reading the
opening address, gave the following
statistics; Travelling preachers
now embraced in the church, 5,4S7;
local preachers, 6,513, an increase
over last year of 241; members
enlisted, l,345,210, an increase of
1853, 900
One portion of the address was
particularly interesting. 1t referred
to itinerant evangelists. The bishop
read: "Revivalists have been over
this and other countries from almost
time immemortal. These are unli-
censed preachers. Their visits OF
late have got to be frequent. Com
munities watch for them and think
they can not get along unless they
have several weeks of these revival
services each year. They think this
is the only class of ministers who can
attract sinners. Such things tend to
deteriorate from the appreciation of
their regular ministers. In our
judgment the general conference
acted wisely when it refused to
recognize evangelists."
The delegates are from all over the
southern states and Mexico, Brazil
the West Indies and Central America

TREASURY REFORM BILL.


The bill reforming treasury meth
ods which has passed the house, with
only one dissenting vote, cuts down
the official force by 154 clerks,
and saves about 100000 annually
in salaries. But, more than this,
it simplifies the cumbersome methods
and brings the business up to date.
The system in vogue now involves
a triple, and sometimes a quadruple,
examination of accounts. This bill
provides joint double audit, in
which the administrative department
would be check on the accounting
department, and vice versa. This
bill has been reported unanimously
to the senate, and will doubtless
pass there in few days.

quite a disturbance by singing an
old gospel hymn. Right across from

day last July man placed ladder
against the grocery store and tried
to put up a sign nearly twenty feet
long over the window. There was
an element of intense interest in
this proceeding to thirty men who
gathered around the ladder and
watched the man as he stood on
his precarious perch. Pretty soon
Bill Peasley came along. He joined
the group, putting his hands behind
his back in a lazy manner, and
began softly whistling the Sweet

AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATION.

The agricultural appropriation
bill, reported to the house by
Chairman Hatch, Of the committee
on agriculture, appropriates 50, $780,

preparation for the department for
the present fiscal year this is a
decrease of $142,856.
every little change" an accom-
panying report says, "has been
made in the salary list. Slight
increase has been made in a few
offices where the increased duties
and responsibilities have seemed
te warrant such change, but re-
duction OF $33, 1920 in the aggregate
has been accomplished by a re-
arrangement Of the service and by
consolidation Of the offices wherever
practicable. Authority is given to
continue Investigations with a view
to extending the demands of foreign
markets for the agricultural products
of the United States, and to continue
inquiries as to the best system OF
road making, the same appropria-
tions as last year being provided.
A reduction in the appropriation
for the weather bureau has been
made, amounting to $74,277. The
decrease is mainly in salaries, though
contingent and general expenses
have been considerably reduced
without, 1t is hoped, in the least
impairing the usefulness and effici-
ency of this valuable service"
