TARIFF Is ALL.

Tho currency question is not regard

there ia no need for unv action looking
Ia financial reform. Tho senate did
not think the matter important
enough to justify a few hours' exten-

presidents message recommending
the establishment OF a commission
was not over r-courteOusly received by
that body. The administration doubt-
less has reason to regard itself fortun.
