NO HOPE FOR TARIFF RELIEF.

The popular hope of tariff relief,
%springing from the outspoken attitude
e the late President and Endorsed in
bulk by President Roosevelt, seems
destined to be dashed to the ground,
says the Atlanta Constitution. That
TIE President will weaken before the
assault of the protected interests Is
every day becoming more apparent,
and that reciprocity will be slaughtered
in the house of it's friends is certain.
The other day Senator Hanna spent
an hour with the President, following
close after the heels of Senator
Aldrich. While, of course, such reports
Il the interview as those men might
sfve to the press would be colored by
their own wishes, the New York Herald
has learned enough to say that "Presi-
lent Roosevelt is not convinced of
the wisdom of opening up the question
Ct tariff revision. Senator Hanna will
try to persuade the President that the
tariff should not be touched, and he
will not have much trouble in doing it"
The more's the pity hat the Presi-
tent should be so easily turned from
. course which, if not ABSOLUTELY &C
ceptable to the people, would at least
have been a step in the right direction
On the very dar that President Mckin-
ley spoke so earnestly against a con-
t%inuance of the policy of exclusion Sen
ator Hoar, addressing a Massachusetts
audiense, declared in favor of govern
mental plumber of the people for the
Benefit Of the few. The newspaper or
gan of one member of the cabinet as
sailed the motive of the President while
he was writhing upon a bed of pain
and Senator Warren could not allow
the period Of mourning to pass without
Z declaration that, no matter by what
name it might be called, it would be the
same Did game of multiplication and
division.
The only hope for a realization of the
a III z vi 1oAoCI 60 -
the Endorsement of the new President.
With the power of patronage n veto
President Roosevelt might ave whip
ped in such a number of Republicans
Is to have passed a reciprocity law
10 which the people at large would
have some consideration. But with the
PRESIDENTIAL action neutralized there is
not the faintest hope for relief.
The Constitution must express its re-
sret at such a elimination. 1t nay be
good party politics to profit by the mis-
takes of others. but the country is en-
titled to the best that every party can
do. 1t takes the patriotic influence of
AL combined to bring about the best
results. With our tariff legislation
placed in an advanced position by the
Republican party that much at least
would have been secure, but now the
whole battle remains to be fought over.
1t is an intolerable thing that the views
of a few interests should outweigh
those of the nation n that the mass
sf the people should be compelled to
suffer from the official brigandage
Known rs protection.

OATH FEATURE ELIMINATED.
1t is Believed That Harmony Will Now Reign
Among Mecklenburg Democrats
Especial to News and observer.)

Charlotte n. c.. June 27-At a meet
ing of the Democratic County Executive
Committee held at noon today, it was
decided that the oath feature of the
primary should be eliminated. The OPP
posing Democrats, through DR.. r. J.
Brevard made the following request:
THE committee are instructed to re-
quest that at the primary election no
oath shall be administered to any voter.
unless he is challenged and that in case
the voter is challenged then he shall be
required to swear that he is a qualified
voter under the rules of the Democratic
party, but in no case shall a voter be
required to swear that he will abide by
the result of the primary. The com
mittee would further request that in
view of the uncertainty that has sur
rounded this question the primary cleo
ton be postponed one week and be held
on the 18th day of July"
After this request was made the COM
mittee went into executive session, and
after several hours debate the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
First. That in the primary election,
which this committee has ordered to be
held on July 5th and in any second prim-
airy thereafter no oaths shall be ad
ministered to any voter, unless he shall
be challenged and that in case a voter
is challenged he shall be required to
take the oath prescribed in the second
section of the primary law.
Second. That this resolution is adopt
ed in Difference to the wishes of many
local Democrats, and to the opinion of
number of lawyers who have contendcd
that the oath is unconstitutional and in
reply to the request of the special COM
mittce composed of DR.. r. j. Brevard,
]. 0. Alexander, ]. G. Alexander and c..
w. Mccoy.
Third. That this committee do not
deem it wise or proper to change the date
for holding the primary elections as the
legal notices have been posted and
voters informed of the date.
1t is thought that the elimination OF
the oath feature will produce harmony
in the ranks Of the party in the county
The opposition will now go into the
primaries of July and will make Il
strong fight to capture the Legislative
ticket and the board of county commits
sioners. Very little opposition to the
county officers will, it is thought, ma
terialiZe.

ing of the Cabinet today the terms of an
amnesty proclamation to the Filipinos.
which it is contemplated to issue on
the fourth of July were agreed upon, and
Secretary Root will cable it to Acting
Governor Wright for his inspection. If

will remain but for the President, if
the Philippine Civil Government Bill is

archipelago where the Mindanao or pagan
tribes are giving the United States a
great deal of trouble and will declare in
effect that with the transfer of the gov

tary to civil status all those arrested
and held for political offences shall be
restored to liberty granted full am

civil government that viii be Inaugural
ted in the islands The benefits of the
amnesty are limited to those in custody
as a result of breaches of military law
leaving criminal offenders to the action

be ordered home for the present and
every precaution will be taken for the
military safeguarding of the Islands I'M
der the new civil administration.
The Cabinet meeting was held in the
Presidents temporary quarters on La
