TARIFF REFORM AFTER
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Universal Idea" Now the Republican
Plan, Says Representative Hull

"The Iowa Idea has given place TO
the universal idea regarding the tarln.
said Representative J. \. T. Hull. OF the
Hawkeye State, after a conference with
the President at the White House Offices
Yesterday. The universal idea is" he
continued. that there will be no chang
ing OF the tarin until after the next
Presidential election, and then, II there
is any real need for 1t, such changes viii
be made as are at that time deemed ad-
visable."
Captain HulPs prominence in Congress
and the general interest which has been
evinced in the Iowa idea" championed
by Governor Cummins of that State
make his statement doubly interesting.
Commenting on the many misinterpre-
tations put upon the tariff revision plan
advocated by Governor Cummins and his
partisans. Captain Hull said:
1T is generally agreed. believe, that
this universal idea has superseded the
one so much talked OF as the Iowa idea
am glad the people throughout the
country seem willing now 10 regard their
Iowa brethren as belonging 10 the same
true blue. rock ribbed, steady and
sturdy Republican party as themselves

ditions can be Investigated at length. the

sire any changes In the tariff can better
be reconciled than just before q Presi-

A Splendid Showing.
.he Baltimore and 0hio's Record of
Earning Capacity.

The balance sheet of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad for May last. and
Tor the eleven months ending on May
81, presents a showing strangely at
Variance with the bearish impulses
which have lately ruled in Wall
Street. With railroad stocks tumb-
hing IN that great center of exchange
and prophets of evil predicting a con-
unulng shrinkage in railroad values.
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
sues a statement which discloses rec
ord-breaking earnings for May and
foreshadows for the present fiscal
year profits quite unexampled in the
history Of that great corporation.
The gross receipts for May aggre-
gated $5,720,693, exceeding those of
May, 1902, by $607, 237. The largest
previous monthly earnings were
those of last August, when the total
footed up was $5,549,757. The net
earnings for May were also beyond
precedent. They reached 81, 237.O ola
-$427, $50 greater than any total
hitherto recorded.
For the eleven months ending Nav
81 results were equally gratifying. In
that period the Baltimore and Ohio
system rolled up gross earnings of
So, 613,773-an increase of SASH
45S over the total for the eleven
months ending May 81, 1902. Net
earnings climbed to 81, Ass, 725-an
increase over the total for the year
previous of $2,4S6,S03.
The productive capacity of the Bal
timore and Ohio system has therefore
been carried during the last year to
the highest level it has known in its
long and checkered experience. 1t
has better roadbed, a better equip
ment and a better organization than
1t ever had before, and its share. in
the prosperity of the region which it
has developed and which it so intel
hgently serves promises to be each
year more notable ore.
Such an exhibit as the Baltimore
and Ohio has just made is a genuine
warrant for optimism-a rebuke to
the panie-stricken croakers who fancy
they see In stOck-rigging manipula-
tons in Wall Street evidences Of an
approaching ebb in the foodtide Of
national prosperity.

Make Plenty of Noise.
There Is More Room at the Bottom,
But Less Money.

Young man, we know that TO advise
you to get to the top of the ladder is
equal TO pointing out the second rung
to some one else, and that we have no
right TO assign the second place to
anyone; nevertheless, falling into the
ways Of many wise public mentors,
we will reveal to you our notion Of
how the first place may be attained.
Keep in mind, if you please, that
we are not OF those who say that
there is more room at the apex Of a
pyramid than on any surface or sec
ton that might be made in its aIti-
tude. You must have read that there
Is plenty of room at the top, and you
must have heard Of well-wined gen
tlemen at public dinners who declared
that there is room for all ut the top.

The Field of Politics
An Influential Negro.

The Hon. Jim Hill is dead. In order
that there may be no misunderstanding
at the outset 1t should be said that Jhe
deceased referred to is not the North
western railroad magnate, but a negro
politician whose influence within his
circle was perhaps as great as that of
the great railroad president in his
broader sphere. But 1t is not purposed
here to compare these two men simply
because their names were the same.
Jim" Hill was politician in Missis-
sippi, and being politician and a negro
in that State, Il Is almost unnecessary
TO say that he was a Republican. Those
whose duty II is TO recruit Southern
delegates at the national conventions
have had occasion to form the acQuaint-

once the Republican national commit
teeman for the State of Mississippi and
chairman of the State central commit

enjoyed the confidence of his white OPP
ponents. and he was skillful in handling
his own people, for he exercised a strong
influence over them.
Unlike most agitators, he did not decry
the Mississippi constitution, which prac-
tically disfranchises the colored vote;
on the contrary. he argued with his race
that the constitution denied no man the
right TO the ballot who would qualify
himself. He urged his race TO educate

Now that Hobson has left the navy
for politics it is said that his ambition
is nothing less than the presidency and
he firmly believes that his destiny will
land him there. AS the first step along
the road he will seek election to the
Alabama legislature. His ambition is
q commendable one and is shared by
lots of citizens of our republic. The
South is due to have another President

The Oregon Legislature has been in
session month but the senatorial
deadlock continues and as the session
is limited to 40 days the choice of a
successor to Senator Simon may not be
made. The Republicans have a ma
jority of 4S on joint ballot in the Or
egon Legislature and it will be a pity
if they cannot make a choice among
the various candidates. Oregon has
been prolific in senatorial deadlocks,
and has had many prolonged ana often
bitter contests in the past. The situa-
ton is not any such reprcach to the
state as that in Delaware is, but the
Republicans there cannot afford to
keep up factional fights at the ex-
pense of vacant seat in the Senate.
OF the so senatorial terms which ex-
pire with the present Congress the only
one which promises to remain untitled
is the Oregon seat. Twenty eight SEN
ators have been elected already and
the seat from Florida will doubtless be
quickly filled when the Legislature
of that state meets in April If an
election occurs in Oregon there will
then be no vacancies among the thirty
seats the terms of whose occupants
end March next.
