ington that there will be bitter fight
next winter between eastern and western
republicans in congress over the revision
Of the tariff. The bone of contention is
the Babcock proposition to repeal such
sections of the Dingley law as affect trust
made articles. Republican leaders have
been discussing it among themselves ever
since its Introduction at the last ses-
sion, with little prospect of agreement
The first prominent republican in congress
to give out an interview on the subject
was Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
chairman of the finance committee. He
saw President Mckinley about three
weeks ago and told him that there was
strenuous opposition in New England and
the east generally to the Babcock PROPOSE
tion. He was backed up by Representa-
tive Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania, a member Of
the ways and means committee. Other
eastern republicans followed suit and de-
clared themselves willing to fight Babcock
to finish.
Leading republicans from the middle
"ooI' Ho"SNOl' nave sdlu tndl IHey are
absolutely in favor of revision of the
tariff law and that the sentiment of their
constituents is all that way. Tawney of
Minnesota of the wGys and means com
mittee, took issue with his colleague Dali
zell on that committee, Stevens of the
same state declared in favor of it and
representatives from Michigan, Indiana,
Iowa and other states have also declared
themselves as followers of Babcock and
his doctrines. The latest addition to their
ranks is Representative Warner Of Illi-
nois. In an interview he said
The tariff is not sacred and it would not
surprise me in the least if the president were
to make some recommendation for a revision
of the tariff along the lines suggested by Mr..
Babcock.

PENSION

FENSION The Slckles out
break has made it
RUMPUS. absolutely impossible
for the president to
make any change in the office of com
missioner of PENSIONS" said a prominent
public man here in summarizing the de-
velopments of the last few days. This is
doubtless true. After what has taken
place, the president could not make Evans
his ambassador to Great Britain, nor
could Evans, for the most pressing of
personal or business reasons, retire from
his post without fixing in the popular
mind the charge that there was a bargain
for his place, just as Sickles has alleged.
Some months ago he might have been
promoted. Now that pretense would be
laughed at. There has been for some
months no real reason to doubt that the
powers that be intended a change in the
pension commissiOnership. They prob
ably intended to make the change a pro-
motion for Evans, and also to see to it
that his successor was nearly as conser-
vative, but that they proposed to quiet
the unceasing clamor by removing the OBJ
ject of Grand Army complaints cannot be
questioned. 1t comes from. too many
sources, and too many senators have come
away from the White House with this i'm
preston.
The quieting of the Grand Army hos
tility at the encampment of 1900 was too
sudden to have been entirely spontan-
eous. Mr.. Scott admits that he wrote Ia
Did soldiers rather freely that they might
expect a change in the office, and his view
was a general one. But again delay has
proved dangerous. The president cannot
now carry out that expectation of his
party managers. One confusing feature
Of the situation has been the two sided
ness of General Sickles and his associates
toward Mr.. Evans. At one moment they
would tell him privately that they were
entirely satisfied with his conduct of the
Office, while on public occasions assailing
1t bitterly. This seems to be characteris-
tic of the pension business. One of the
most vociferous champions" of old SOL
diers and a national commander-in-c chief
of the Grand Army told me that President
Cleveland's private pension vetoes were
''in the main all right but he added
that of course. in his position, he had tc
take ''iust the opposite view"
Sickles is a candidate for national com
mander-in- chief of the Grand Army, and
so the views which he has expressed te
Evans In private correspondence would
never do for public utterances. Mean
while Representative Gibson's remark re-
mains true, that the difference between
Evans and a popular administration Of
the pension Office would be only about
