OOne of the humorous features of

Gratis seriously expect republicans to
violate their pledge to pass protective

rJTen of the 16 southern states con-

tive tariff bill, and democratic newspa-

it.-Syracuse Herald.
vFive democratic voters for the

impossible to tell how the future con-
duct of the republican party will inn

thus far republican success has been a

republican party has been in power just
five weeks. Not line of distinctive
republican legislation has yet been en-

Washington, ID. c., April 15.-Presi-

has been confirmed.

THE TARIFF IN THE SENATE.
Speedy Passage of the DinGlcy Eli
Is the Popular Demand.


The senate is a body which is pecul-
iarly responsive, and always has been,
to the demands of the business inter-
csts of the country. Elected for a term
Of six years, the members have more
time to take from personal politics and
give to craftsmanship than have their
colleagues of the house OF Representa-
tives. Then, too, the senators arc of
a more conservative type and are Likely
to be men whose experience in the
broad fields of business has been such
as to make them think, in legislative
matters, along commercial lines and to
keep closely in touch with private men
OF affairs. 1t is because of this pecul-
iarity that lingo legislation, however
clear its passage may have been in the
house, usually splits upon the sena-
torial rock of business caution ana pru-
dence.
While the public has sometimes re-
scented the fact that the business mi
nority has more influence with the SEN
ate than the popular majority, there is
now a common hope that the pressure
of business interests for a speedy adj
justment of the tariff may have the
usual effect. For once, all classes are
a unit upon a single Legislative prop
osition. They want economic relief
with the least possible delay. Trade is
waiting, production is waiting, labor is
waiting, everything and everybody in
the country is waiting to have the
perity. The people are in no mood for
long debates and the interminabie hair
splitting of past sessions. They are
prepared 10 resent a waste Of time in
the making of personal records. The
Dingley bill, as passed by the house, sat
isles them in its main features, and all
they want of the senate is to pass il
likewise, with only such alterations as
will make the measure more just and
symmetrical, and to do this work, il
possible, before the summer trade be-
gins.-San Francisco Chronicle.
