A Great DeI,ate

There begins today in the House of Rep
become historical. The passage of the
tariff bill at its close is d foregone con-
clusion, SO that interest centers upon the
speeches that will be delivered for and
against the schedules of rates contained
in the measure The various policies cham
piened will be well worth studying The
high protectionist will urge his theory
OF tariff taxation: the moderate protec-
zionist will present his reasons for lower
rates; the tarfff-for-revenue man will come
forth with statistics and theories; the
advocate of revenue tariff with incidental
protection will be equally in evidence; the
low tariff legislator will be heard in his
own behalf. and the free trader will doubt
less demand hearing and secure it. But
In the midst of all this talk the great
central fact will remain, that whatever
the House may do say. the Senate will
amend the measure to suit itself and that
the bill sent over to the north end of the
capitol few days hence will serve as
mere groundwork for the labors of that
branch of the legislature. Indeed it is
on the alterations it being taken for grant
ed that the debate that commenced today
will not serve to bring about any material
change in the measure. 1t is to be ex-
peCted that some excellent speeches will
be made for the House will be talking to
the country and not to itself, and the
country has proved itself a severe critic
and hard to satisfy.

A Complicated Case.

turn up. Early in the campaign for offices
one developed in the person of Mr.. W.
Powhatan Crump of West Virginia. He
was succeeded in tie role by Mr.. John c.
Dancey of North Carolina. who simply
couldn't be beaten. Now comes MIR. W.
II. Ridley of Media, Pennsylvania, who is
absolutely assured of the place by the
retirement of Mr. Raymond of Altoona.
Pennsylvania. who has been such a very
dark horse heretofore that he had not
been heard of at this end of the line until
Mr.. Ridley modesty acknowledged him as
his only dangerous competitor. The Presi-
dent no doubt expected a certain amount
of conflict between the claims of rivals
to withstand much pressure that consd-
cred itself absolutely irresistible. But
when it comes to distributing the single
office of recorder of deeds of the Dis
trict of Columbia between at least three
aspirants from different states who can
not be defeated his diplomacy and his sa-
sacity will be sorely taxed. He will need
the wisdom of a Solomon in handling the
situation. The case is rapidly becoming
quite as complicated as that of Richard
