House Jealous of Rights.

Under the constitution all legisla-
ton. relating to the levying of taxes
and the raising of revenue must orig
mate in the house of representatives.
When a tariff commission was sug-
gested as a compromise between tar
iff revision and standing pat, the
house leaders became suddenly en-
ragged, and declared they would never
stand for any commission which
would absorb responsibilities and du-
ties imposed upon the house by the
constitution. The house of represent
atives is growing more and more jeal-
Gus of it's constitutional rights; it is
unwilling to sacrifice anything to
which it is entitled, and it may be set
down for q fact that the house will
never approve a bin creating COM
mission to frame tariff legislation, or
even to suggest such legislation. If
there is any legislation to be framed
the house wants to do it without
outside assistance.

TARIFF IDEA.
Will LeeisIate to Create
Commission to Make Recommen-

So far as the fifty-ninth congress
is concerned, the work of the recent
reciprocity convention at Chicago will
probably come to naught. Congress IS
not apt to take up and adopt the
maximum and minimum tariff irea ex-
pounded at Chicago, nor it is going to
legislate to create a tariff commission
composed of economic, industrial and
commercial experts" which commits
sion shall make recommendations to
congress. is a report that comes from
Washington city.
This latter topic can be disposed or
without awaiting developments. for
when there was considerable tariff
agitation throughout the country
year or two ago, this tariff commits
sion idea was advanced, and 1t was
quickly demonstrated that the house
of representatives would never stand

CONGRESS DECLARES
AGAINST RETENTION OF
MORE THAN 100 ACRES.
Say Government RECLAIM alton Projects
Should Not Interfere With Prior
Private Enterprises.

The national irrigation congress
which was held in Portland last week
decided emphatically that it's SYM
pathy is with the small land owner
against the large landed proprietors
who seek to have the national irriga-
ton laws so amended as to permit
the retention of more than 100 acres
of irrigated land.
The congress also expressed the
opinion that government enterprise in
the work of retaining arid lands
should not unnecessarily interfere
with previous private enterprise. nor
private enterprise with prior govern
ment projects.
Finally. it vigorously expressed
disapproval of the repeated attempts
to inject the subject of undesirable
foreign immigration into it's delibera-
tions.
In substance the resolutions adopted
by the congress follow:
Endorsement of statehood for the
territory Of New Mexico, and joint
statehood for Oklahoma and Indian
Territories.
the congress believes that too mucn
capital, public and private, cannot be
IN, tbn o1ot ,ati nf q
lands and therefore declares that
government as well as private enter
prise should both be extended to the
utmost and believes. that government
enterprise shoul dnot unnecessarily
interfere with private enterprise. nor
should private enterprise unnecessari-
ly interfere with or prevent govern
ment enterprise from building reser-
voirs and other works for retaining
arid lands.
Aid for Beet Sugar Men.
In order to encourage beet sugar
production in the United States, the
congress asserts it's opposition to the
granting of further concessions to
tropical islands. The resolution adj
vocates federal legislation in behalf
of the industry.
1t is the opinion of the congress that
the national irrigation law should
be so extended as to include the state
of Texas within it's provisions.
A confusion being said to exist in
the minds of many people on the sub
ject the congress declares that there
is not, nor has there been, any con-
connection whatever between the Ma
al Irrigation congress and the Ma
tional Irrigation association. 1t an
neunces also that no person or COM
pany is authorized to collect money
in behalf of the congress.
The congress also favors the early
reclamation Of small tracts of land
whenever the cost per acre of recla-
nation does not exceed the cost per
acre of larger enterprises of similar
character.
Eminent Domain.
The federal congress is urged to
enact such laws as will enable the ma
tional government to exercise the
rights of eminent domain when neces-
sary to carry out the purposes of the
national irrigation law.
The congress endorses the effective
and business-like administration OF
the forestry bureau, the efficiency Of
the work of the reclamation service,
but recommends that the reclamation
service and it's representatives Coop
crate with state officers in matters
affecting the states landed interest.
The resolution also commends the
work of experiment stations Of the

Tariff Idea Novel.

AS to the maximum and minimum
tariff idea there is more room for
speculation. 1t has been demonstrated
to the satisfaction of everybody that
reciprocity by treaty agreements can
not be attained unless there shall be
a marked change in the personnel of
the United States senate. The present
senate, or rather the last senate,
placed the administration in very
embarrassing position by refusing to
even consider the numerous recipro-
city treaties that had been negotiated
der the terms of the Dingley law, and
when the senate took this stubborn
stand, President Roosevelt is reported
to nave declared that he would never
again send a reciprocity treaty to the
senate He regarded the transaction
as a farce, and felt keenly the humil
iation to which the senate subjected
him before the entire world. But
there is no reason to believe that the
next senate will take a different
view of these treaties; it is quite GER
tain that they will remain covered
with dust in the pigeon holes Of the
committee on foreign relations, where
they have been ever since they were
first sent to the senate.

Scheme Somthing New.

But this maximum and minimum
idea is something new; something that
can and probably will be talked over.
There are many sides to such legis-
against. If any serious attempt is
made to secure the passage of sucn a
bill it will be talked to death in the
next congress; it can be defeated with
comparative ease.
With reference to the retaliatory
feature of the maximum and minimum
tariff scheme, it must be recalled that
Germany has already increased her
tariff against the United States, and
to meet just such a contingency as
has been suggested, the new German
tariff provides that if any country at
tempts to retaliate for the recent
raise in tariff, there shall Immediately
be levied a subtax ranging up to 100
per cent. of the tariff duty, and if
goods are admitted free a surtax of
so per cent. ad valorem shall be put
on. That IS one of the things that
would be encountered if the maximum
and rtis5 u4si riff plan should be
applied to err ny.
The ups the Chicago confer
ence may be lie formation of perm
anent organization to offset the Amer
lean Protective league, and such an
organization may in time be able to
render as able service as the protec-
tive league has rendered the stand
patters.

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS INCREASE
Favorable Reports From Manila Show
Commercial Activity

BY Associated Press.
MANILA, Feb. 4.-The customs re-
ceipts of the islands for the month Of
January were approximately $1,000 900
in gold, decided increase over the
receipts for the month of December.
The Indications are that during the
succeeding months there will be in
creases in both importations and ex-
portations, though the volume of rice
imports will fall off owing to the mar
keting of the home crop.
The increased commercial activity is
satisfactory from the standpoint of the
importer, although the measure pend
ing in congress for revision of the
existing tariff tends to make importers
conservative in acquiring new goods.
Great anxiety prevails in the fear
that congress may fail to enact, tariff
legislation favorable to the Philippines.

COUNTERFEITERs CAUGHT
Pretended Shingle Weavers Pass
Much Spurious Money
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
BELLINGHAM Wash, Feb. 4.-The
police have captured a gang of three
count erfeiters who have been operating
here for the last two years. The men
give their names as Walter Packwood
Fred Smith and Fred Miller. They
have ostensibly been working as shingle
weavers.
The men were caught in the back
room of the Elk saloon repairing a mold
which had been broken. This mold con-
tained one dollar, which was seized as
evidence. The men confessed that they
had counterfeit plant in a house near
this city capable of turning out forty
dollar pieces an hour, besides an ar
rangement for "raising' one dollar bills
to ten. The men refused to state how
much spurious money they had cir
culated, but they are believed to have
passed an enormous amount. The
counterfeit is good imitation.

REVOLT IN ARGENTINA;
TROOPS M0BlLIZED
State Of Siege Proclaimed but Gov
eminent Has the Situation
Well in Hand

BY Associated Press.
BUENOs AYREs, Argentina, Feb. A..
An insurrection has broken out in
this province. Several police posts have
been attacked by bands Of about thirty
men each, but the assailants nearly
everywhere were repulsed.
Two posts which were surprised were
recaptured by the police. An attack on
the arsenal was also repelled. II is ru-
mored that two regiments of troops
have mutinied and are marching on the
capital
The Argentine government, which APP
pears to have been acquainted with the
plans of the leaders of the plot, took
timely measures to suppress the upris-
ing and seems to nave complete con-
troll of the situation.
AS a result of the insurrectionary
movement, which broke out last night
not only here, but in other cities of
Argentina, the government has issued
a decree establishing a state of siege
for thirty days throughout the whole
republic and has ordered the mobiliza
tion of the national guard.
The decision to proclaim state of
siege and to mobilize the national guard
was reached at a council of ministers
held this morning under the presidency
of Manuel Quintana, president Of the
republic. The troops remaining loyal
to the government have been sent to
meet the mutinous troops, who are
marching on Buenos Ayres. Up to the
present the city is quiet and bears its
ordinary aspect.

BOILER EXPLOSION
CAUSES WRECK
TRAINMEN KILLED INSTANTLY;
MANY INJURED
Singular Accident Produces Fatal
Collision on New York Central,
but Passengers Suffer Lite
tie Damage
BY Associated Press.

UTICA, N. ", Feb. 4-Two train
men lost their lives and a score or more
of passengers were injured in a wreck
on the New York Central railroad at
Nhiteboro, three miles west of here, at
an early hour today. None of the in
jured was dangerously hurt. their
wounds being mainly cuts and bruises.
The dead are:
John Allen, engineer.
John Brennan, fireman of the loco
motive of the Western Express.
As the last named was passing the
Buffalo special esst-bound the boiler
of the locomotive of the west-bound
train exploded. The force of the explo-
sion and the upheaval of the engine
threw the entire train of thirteen cars,
forming the special, from the rails. The
west-bound train did not leave the
track, but the cars stopped with sud-
denness and shock which threw the
occupants of the berths backward with
great force, in some cases tossing them
out onto the floor
An hour or more was devoted to ex-
Treating passengers from the interior
of the east bound train sleeping cars,
but while many were found to be cut
and bruised. no one was killed.
Among the injured was State Su-
preme Court Justice Warren 3. Hooker
of Fredonia. He was severely bruised.
From the fact that Fireman Brennan
was instantly killed and Engineer AL
len lived but a few minutes the cause
of the explosion probably will never
be known. Both men lived in Albany.
The strangest feature of the acci-
dent, as it appeared to an onlooker,
was that the boiler of the west bound
locomotive was resting midway be-
tween the rails of the east-bound track
at a point where the eastern train had
passed. This suggested the theory to
trainmen that the boiler had struck the
second car of the east-bound train as
it rushed by at the rate of fifty miles
an hour, the blow causing all the fol-
lowing cars to be hurled from the track

Treatment of Piles
permanence Of Cure the True Test

Many so-called pile remedies will
afford the user slight temporary re-
lief and the majority of those af-
flicted do not expect more than this.
The average sufferer, after having
tried every preparation recommended
for the cure of piles, comes to the
conclusion that there is no cure ex-
cept by an operation and rather than
undergo this last resort" he suffers
on, resigned to the situation, so far
as may be. The attention of those
interested is invited to the following
experience:
"After ten years Of suffering from
blind, bleeding and protruding piles
and after using every remedy l could
hear of without any benefit / finally
bought a fifty-cent box of Pyramid
Pile Cure and used 1t with such good
results l bought next dollar box,
which finished up the job, That was
nearly six years ago and as far as
piles Is concerned i am cured, and
have never felt a symptom of them
since.
MANY Others have used this rem
edy by my advice with the same re-
suits and l always recommend it to
sufferers with piles. II. Potts,
