Morse was chairman. There was full
and complete hearing in regard to that
case. Witnesses were brought before
that committee, and they gave their
testimony. 1t appeared that this old
man was nearly go years Of age. He
was a soldier of the State in the Aroos-
took war-marched from Augusta to
the northeastern part OF the State; and
afterwards came back here-that he
had three sons, and two of those sons
lost their lives on Southern battlefields,
defending the Stars and Stripes-the
third living with him in the city of
Augusta. has been taken SICK and is no
longer able to support him. The old
gentleman is 90 years of age without a
dollar in the world-without any means
of obtaining support; and it did seem
that he, as a soldier who had fought
beneath the old flag was just as much
entitled to pension as those who had
won it in Southern battlefields. The
only objection that could be raised
would be the objection that this would
open the door to a very large class of
claims. We examined it carefully, and
we found only 80 survivors of that war.
SO far as we We're able to obtain infor-
nation; and of those 60 not more than
five or six would be entitled to pen
sions. Now. when the committee on
pensions had received all this evidence,
and considered it carefully, and re-
ported it unanimously, the committee
on appropriations, acting under the au-
tocratic powers with which that COM
mittee is invested-without any hear
ing of witnesses-without taking any
testimony, come here and report Fought
not to pass l protest against the ac-
ton of the committee on appropria-
tons and financial affairs.
Mr. BURNS of Cumberland: Mr..
President, pending the acceptance of
the report, I move that it lie on the

been stated by the senator from Som

number from the different towns in

of Mr.. Bryant, to reconsider the vote

bill was referred to the committee on

of Cumberland, thereafter moved to

MR.. BURNS: Mr.. President, l will
simply state why our committee took
the action it did From information
which we had, this soldier was on the
field but three hours, in all; and it was
thought by our committee that If this
claim was allowed, it was merely open
| ing a chance for many other similar
claims for slight accidents so there
] would be no end of trouble in the fu-
ture. But l will leave the matter in

not to accept the report.
Mr.. Morse of Waldo thereupon moved

clared that Is had voted in favor of

a half ago Mr.. Hill defined the Northern
Securities company as follows:
1t is purely an investment company and
the object of it's creation is simply to en-
able those who hold it's stock to continue
their respective; interests in association
together, and to prevent such interests
from being scattered by death or other
wise.
+ It is eisy to learn from this definition
how great Is the difference between such
control as could be exercised thru the
merger and such control as Mr. Hill and
his friends may exercise over property
they together control n the sense of own
ership. The difference is not that be-
tween twedledee and tweedledum. Mr.
Hit demonstrated that in the statement IN
defense Of the merger from which the
above excerpt IS taken. He had discov.
cred that control by understanding OF
agreement was not efficient or satisfactory
by death or otherwise control might
pass from him and his friends at any time
SO long as the control Of the road was
merely the result of common ownership
and mutual understanding. Effective con
solida ton Of two roads that might any day
become separate in ownership was no
possible even tho long as the control
ling interests were able to agree the re.
suit would be much the same as actua
consolidation.

English Spelling Reform.
The President and Tariff Revision

The presidents Minneapolis speech was
ardent admirers. These ardent admirers
are tariff revision republicans The coun-
try. and particularly this northwest, is
full of them. When they heard that the
president was to speak on the tariff in
Minneapolis they were particularly inter-
ested. Since he has spoken many of them
have expressed regret that the president
did not take as advanced ground as they
expected It has seemed to them az if he
were not in sympathy with their views
and not deeply concerned about tariff re-
form.
This feeling we believe to- be a miscon-
ception of the presidents real position. 1t
is probably due to failure to get the presi-
dents view point. This view point, it
seems to us, is happily located by r II e
] ourn a ! , S Washington correspondence
to-day. 1t is briefly this:
The president is a revisionist He is
not sounding a retreat from that position
rs some have feared. He is only pro-
claiming a truce. Unable to secure the
adoption by congress of the wise and pru-
dent commission idea, which affords the
best assurance of gradual and moderate
revision with least disturbance to bust
ness, he finds it neXpedient to urge re-
vision by the old method of congressional
committees and congressional debate on
the eve of presidential campaign. There
are two reasons for this conclusion. One
is political and the other economic.
As the leader Of his party he is bound
to consider the risk Of venturing upon the
work of tariff reform at a time when
prosperity widely prevails and taking the
ri chances on possible business disturbance
in the midst of national campa ign. The
experience of the party in 1890 and 90 is
too recent to make the experiment safe
and prudent from the political standpoint
So much for party considerations.
But there is another consideration and
one which, in the light of the president S
Minneapolis speech, he evidently regards
as more important, and that is the econ
omic reason. He evidently had this ii
mind when he said to his Minneapolis
audience. I'VE need to treat the tariff as
a business proposition, from; the stand
point Of the interests Of the country as q
whole and not with reference to the tenn
porary needs of any political party Here
appears the broad and patriotic view O.
one who is more concerned about thu
general welfare than the advantage to b.
gained or the dangers to be avoided po
litically. It is quite possible that the tariff
might be revised at the next session o
congress so as to help the chances of tn
republican party and be an advantag
rather than source of danger, but sucl
revision might not be Sin the interest 0
3 the country as a whole. "
