Chairman Cannon of the House commit
tee on appropriations returned last night
from an extensive tour Of Illinois. He had
a long talk with the President today about
what he saw and heard in Illinois, the
President mani1est7ng deep interest in mr..
Cannon's statements. Mr.. Cannon says
that everybody is praying for the early
passage Of the tarin bill, and the Senate

bills, but. by taking those sent over by
the house and building on the bare title

instead of reducing them, as conser-
vat1ve body, careful of public inter-
ests would. Finally it has come to re-
gard itself and be accepted as "a rich
mans club" access to which depends
more on money than on ability, and to
such an extent has this gone that no
demur was made Ito that biting cpl
gram of Mr.. Bryde,s that ''some are
senators because they are rich, and
some are rich because they are SEN
ators."
From all these and other sources,
such as suspicion of corruption, has
come the serious conviction that the
senate of the United States has reach
ed condition that demands radical
remedy, and discussion runs on meth
DDS by which it can be mended, with
the not infrequent suggestion that
cure is impossible and that it should
be ended. AS it must be a consenting
party to it's own extinction the latter
suggestion is hardly practicable, and
the proposition to take the selection
OF senators from the legislatures and
transfer it to nominating conventions
OF political parties gains no support
from those who know how these are
manipulated, nor from those who judge
them by their products. The best that
can be said for it is that it's results
could hardly be worse. The condition
and the suggested cures all compel
the question whether the cause does
not lie deeper, and whether the condi-
ton does not indicate incapacity for
self government in the mass of the
people.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 9.-The
United States practice ship Chase
came into port today, and the story
of her collision with a schooner believed
to be the Richard A. c. Hartley, of
Boston, was told by Capt Hamlet.
About 1:30 a. m. Thursday, May 5, a
schooner was sighted bearing down on
the Chase. about fifty miles north of
this port. No attention was paid to sig
nails, and, in spite of all efforts by the
Chase to avoid it, the vessels came
together. The Chase lost her entire

The schooner was not greatly injured

As WE EXPECTED.

arrived. The house has acted deiiber-
ately, and, as far as its Initiative is
concerned, finally, in the matter OF Sc
curing revenue. That it made a failure
of it does not affect the general propc-
sition. The bill which it passed would
not provide sufficient revenue EaT the
conduct of the government, put would
be as great a failure in that respect as
the Journal charges the German act to
have been. The senate is now engag-
ed in so remodeling the Dingley bill
that, while protecting still more >ffec-

also furnish a revenue equal to the eX-
travagant and wicked appropriations
that have become the rule at Washing

the senate, however, the house has fin
ished it's work of providing sufficient
revenue
The Journal has not informed us
why, this condition precedent hav-
ing thus been realized, the house
should not proceed to consider
currency and banking reform.

of intention on the part Of the Eepuhl:-

War On Among the Musicians
Gathered at Kansas City.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 9.-The
Currier- Miller factionists of the mu-
sicians have adjourned sine die in their
capacity as the convention of the Amer
lean Federation Of Musicians. But as
the National League of Musicians they
simply took recess and remained to
carry on the war Monday with the
Bremer-Ruhe faction.
The issue now hinges on the injunc-
ton decision of Judge Slower tomor-
row.

for the time, were the American Fed

her commensurate with public expec-
tations. Among the causes that have
produced this sentiment may be men
toned the impression that senators
regard themselves as persons apart
from and above the ordinary leeisla-
tor, as indicated by their refusal to
adopt rules that would expedite bust
ness, their tenacity of what they are
pleased to term their senatorial dig
nifty, and their assumption of powers
not specifically conferred. Another is
the complete reversal the senate has
made within twenty years Of the
theory of it's creation by which it was
to be the governor of the governmental
engine, steadying it's movement with
it's conservatism, and checking the ex-
pected tendency of the popular house
to extreme and violent action. During
these years by far the greater num-
Der of radical measures have found
origin in the senate and been passed
by it to be either summarily killed in
the house or subdued into moderation
there. A summary of the measures
of both houses would show that it is
the house that is the conservative
branch.

Let us look at matters clearly and
sanely. A policy is to be judged by
its moral aspects and it's public effects,
without respect to those who approve
or those who condemn it. That is the
light in which the G o e endeavors
and intends to view every public ques-
ton. as far as human imperfect1ons
permit. The railing against any class

to be without warrant or rea-
son. Men are not divided sharp
ly into classes, but good and evil are
mingled in each individual in different
proportions, and human nature strikes
fair average all around. The condi-
lions of money lending and money
borrowing cover almost the whole field
of morality and immortality, and debtor
and creditor relations can never be
judged until all the circumstances have
been taken into consideration.

advanced to safe the appetite of the

WASHINGTON, May 8.-We who sit
here through many changing admins
trations and study the men at the head
of the executive departments are sorry
to see Secretary Long yielding to the
Peary pull. Mr.. Long is possessed OF
such a splendid independence; he is so
free from all the petty influences which
have made many cabinet officers con-
temptible that a great many people
We're disappointed when the secretary
rescinded his order assigning Lieut..
Peary to duty at San Francisco and
permitted him to continue at the Brook
Ign navy yard with the avowed in
tention of making another Arctic voy
age this summer. Great is the pull in
the navy department. No naval secre-
tary has been able to resist it.
When Senator Chandler was secreta-
ry of the navy, he used to say that
there was only one thing in his depart
ment which he could not control, and
that was the Walker pull. Admiral
Walker held his own UP to the day Of
his retirement from active service a
! few weeks ago. He always had the
pleasantest assignments in spite of
mighty protests from other officers and
their sponsors in congress. The Walk
er pull lost its potency when the adj
miral went on the retired list. He
made an effort recently to obtain the
appointment as assistant secretary Of
the navy and he failed. The charm is
broken The Walker pull no longer
works
