THE HIGH TARIFF IN THE CON-
GRESS

A report comes from Washington
h a some democratic senators will vote
with the republicans against the pro-
posed reduction of the tax on -ugal
that passed the house by an united
democratic vote aided by many repub-
picable. There are signs clearly dis
cernible in Washington that there will
yet come an overhauling of the presnn:
monstrous Dingley 'robber'' tariff tax
In the house there are signs that a new
tariff is beginning to take on substance
enough to make it almost certain that
radical changes in tariff expressions are
ahead. n not to be deferred very long
OF course the greedy selfish, ~untaught
republicans who cannot learn by obser-
walton or hearing INT hold OF with ths
greatest tenacity to old ideas, plans and
extensive changes in conditions. will
stick TO the old way if it leads to poIiti-
cal perdition. Like the old preacher
our great Vance told of in Western
North Carolina, when a mischievous
fellow pasted a different hymn on the
opening services by the preacher afore-
said. he said. do you reckon I'm going
back on my old hymn, I'll sing it IL it
kills me-" He then struck up new hymn
so those wool-dyed, indigo-blue repub-
lican robber tariff men will continue
their conoo old hioh foriff f.Ino sif -
kills them" which it is to be earnestly
hoped it will do politically.
But there are signs showing on the
political skies that hang over the splen-
did capitol that very important tariff
changes are ahead. Even the republi-
can leader. General Grosvenor, is now
a convert to the necessity of a revision
and many changes in the present IN
righteous. wicked tariff of his party.
1t is known where he has stood I'LL
along. decided and vigorous against
touching the old robber A special
from Washington to The Philadelphia
Record of the Goth instant said: Rep
resentative Grosvenor went into hys-
terics a month ago when a suggestion
vas made that a general revision Of
the tariff would be necessary very soon
within the lines of the republican party.
He made a speech less than "A week ago
in which he said that tariff revision was
among the certainties of the neal fu-
ture."
Representative Roberts. of Massachu-
sets. seems to be of like mind. He
says of himself and many of his young
er colleagues in the house:
1.-The time has come in the minds of
many good republicans when a revision
of the tariff inside of the party is abso-
lutely necessary for self-preservation.
I shall begin at once to urge a caucus,
n will circulate a petition for tbs
purpose, to appoint a republican tariff
revision commission, to sit during the
recess of congress and report next De-
cember. Unless some intention is shown
along this line by the republican party
there is the greatest danger of losing
the fall elections"
They have found out that the people
are not satisfied with the very unequal.

New York's 300th Birthday.

Some of the New York papers are
trying to awaken New York to the i'm
portance Of making preparations to
celebrate its $0Oth birthday which is
close at hand. That is, it occurs in
1909. ana seven years are not Il long
time for preparations for the fitting
commemuIation Of such an important
event. \ bill mas been introduced into
the Legislature providing for the pre-
liminary steps, but it has been lost in
the shuttle ut Albany. However the
movement is beginning to move ana
there are reasons To- believe that the
a00th anniversary cf the discovery Of
the Hudson, and the settlement of
Nanhatten by the Dutch will be cele-
brated with due pomp and ceremony.
Already Il number Of gentlemen of high
standing and wealth have taken hold
Of the matter, ana their names are
guarantees that the celebrat ton, what
ever form it may take, will be free
from the faint Of commercialism and
politics. William Rockefeller. ex-
Postmaster General James, President
Fowler, Of the Ontario Railroad; Mark
Twain, President Stllman, OF the City
Bank; John Jacob Astor, Ogden Mills,
William f. Baldwin, Jr., Gustav H.
Schwab, Thomas Ewing and others
have already signifed their Willingness
to serve on the preliminary committee
of the celebration.
This may mean another great inter-
national exposition, though by 1909 the
exposition idea will be pretty well
worked to the limit. But how else, can
the tli-centennial be observed on a
scale fitting the occasion 50 that all the
world will take due note? 1t is some
thing for New Workers to puzzle out
ana it is well that they have begun
largest city. but it is the Oldest of our
cities, and is in fact. older than many
great cities Of Europe. st. Petersburg,
for instance. is century younger. In
this country only at st. Augustine and
| jamestown, which have lived and died
is there seniority to New York. Bos-
ton tri-centenary celebration win not
come until 1888, and when it comes we
may be sure it win be well observed
Philadelphia is only 4 little over 200
years old. Not only the founding of
New York, but the discovery of the
Hudson, well deserves commemoration
in 1909 for it is beautiful river, our
most important i'm it's commerce.. rich
in historical associations, and in ro-
nance and mystery celebrated by our
first great American author, Washing
ton Irving. ON its banks. by the way
there is to be an important ccIebra-
ton, this summer, the centennial of the
| founding Of West Point.
