As far as the house Is Concerned. the
tariff bill will have the right Of way
until il is enacted. This Is the policy
Of Speaker Reed. as Indicated in his de-
cision not to appoint committees having
jurisdiction OF other kinds OF legislation
till after the tariff bill has been passed,
and as announced in a reply to a dee
CATION from the Federation of Labor
last week. The delegation said. through
their spokesman. Mr.. Gomhers. that
there had not been as much legislation
in the interest Of labor by the las, con,
gress as the laboring man wished. Ac-
ton by congress TO alleviate the exist
ing distress among the working people
was urged. and regret was expressed
that the eight-hour Jaw was not strictly
enforced in its application 70 govern
ment works Regarding congressional
action, the speaker said that the first
thing to be done by the two houses was
to arrive at a decision on the pending
tariff bill one way or another, and he
expressed the hope that the delegation
would use its influence to mold public
sentiment to ask for as speedy action
on the tariff bill as could be obtained.
1t was not, he said, thought b5st fot
the house to deal with other matters
until that question was out of the way
because any action taken might compli-
cate and delay action on the tariff. Mr..
Reeds masterful personality Is so well
Understood, both within and without
the house. that there viii be no question
as TO his complete control Of the bust
ness legislation there. The new tariff
will become a law twenty-four hours
after its return TO the house by the
senate.

missed from the government service a,
Washington clSy alone by tAa, adninis-
tratioa. and comparatively few soldiers
were appointed 10 an the vacancies
thus created, one Of the firs, things
done by The new administration was
to set about returning these dismissed
veterans. Secretary Wilson, OF the as-

1t is probable that most OF the dismissed

tions during the first half year OF the
new administration. Such a course Il
emiuenlly proper. Those heroes Of the
civil war have a paramount claim. or
course Il must be expected that every
government appotntee shall be compe-
tent to fulfll the duties Of his position
in every way; and where an old soldier
is competent he should have the prefer

lean patriot will ndorse che adoption
OF such course.

The United States circuit court at CHI
cago has declared unconstitutional a
law passed by the Indiana legislature
reducing street car fares in Indianap-
oils to three cents. It is declared to be
special legislation. applicable only TO
the one city. and therefore is not al
lowed by the constitution of the state
Of Indiana But the court further holds
that this enactment is contrary to the
provision of the national constitution
which forbids any state to pass any law
lmpairing the obligation Of contracts.
The complainant represents the holders
Of bonds of the indianapolis street ra /
ways, and the court holds tha: they
would be irremediably injured in their
security, which is in contraventlon Of
the cons.itu :ional provision referred 20
above. The decision thus becomes Of
interest in every city where there is An
effort making to reduce street railway
fares; and so long as it stands Il viii
prevent any sweeping reduction.
