tenn. That is. that whatever the com
mittee shall do there will be no at
tempt to frame a tariff bill. Mr. Allison
and his Republican colleagues ON the
committee are united in the opinion
which is undoubtedly shared by their
Democratic brethren, that it would
be an encroachment upon the now
thoroughly recognized constitutional
rrerogative of the House of Repre-
sentatives for the Senate to prepare
and consider in advance a bill affect
ing the revenues of the government
Upon numerous occasions-once dur
ing the session Of Congress which
closed March last-the Senate has
gone on record as acquiescing in the
doctrine that bills raising revenues
must originate in the House of Repre-
sentatives. But the Senators do not
doubt their right to take such time
and opportunity as may be presented
for informing themselves as to facts
of existing conditions. to examine into
ali these matters and be prepared to
meet all issues which may be raised
in connection Herewith.
Now that the question what is to
be done is deferred until the return
of Chairman Aldrich and a meeting
of the members of the Senate Finance
Committee, it is but natural and prop
er that interest should be maintained
II the possibilities attending what the
committee may later determine to do.
The reason for this is, first, that the
committee is authorized at least to in
vestigate; second. President Roosevelt
las strongly intimated his purpose to
call Congress in special session about
the first week in October. and. while
he gives the railway rate question as
the paramount issue for considera-
ton at that time, he has remarked
that he confidently expects that by
October the two houses of Congress
will be prepared to give consideration
tc changes in the tariff schedules.
The question oe the hour therefore
is. What will the Senate Committee
on Finance do, and will President
Roosevelt's expectations regarding
tariff changes be realized when the
special session of Congress is called?
So far as the committee is con-
cerned it will doubtless secure from
the administrative departments of the
government and from the experts who
deal with the facts and figures much
important data as to trade conditions,
revenues and expenditures. In carry
ing out the admitted policy of the Re-
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1905-05-06

Washington said he went to New York
on private business; that he did not
confer with business men as to the
tariff situation or plans for changes
IN revenue matters. He asserts that
nothing will be done by the commit
tee until the return of Chairman Aid
rich; that what is to be done will not
be definitely outlined until there is a
meeting of the committee later in the
season This being the fact as to
what will be done has all the elements
Of speculation-and nothing more.
1t is perfectly safe, however, to
speculate upon the prospects that the
Senate Committee on Finance will
look into matters relating to govern
ment finances The reason for this
assurance is the fact that certain
members of the committee are in IA
vcr of action at an early date, and the
facilities which the committee posses
ses for examining into existing condi-
lions are such that from this examina-
ton, even without hearings and only
by a careful study of revenues and
their sources, trade and its prospects,
as well as government expenditures,
many valuable facts will be put in
form for future reference. Whether
as result of such examination by the
experts of the committee and of the
departments of Treasury and Com
rnerce the members of the committee
will come to change the opinions they
now hold relative to tariff changes is
Of course only a matter of conjecture
The most interesting statement
made by Senator Allison regarding
the possible action of the Senate Com
mittee on Finance during the summer
sessions is one that will be borne in
n,ind by all friends of the tariff sys-

REVISION PROSPECTS
WHAT SENATOR ALLIsoN's Err
RAND WAS NOT.
No Intention on the Part of the Senate
Committee to Investigate Tariff Mat
tiers With a View to Action at an
Extra Session of Congress.

The New York reporter who was
sent out to cover an assignment in
volving the task of finding out what
Uncle" William B. Allison, the veneer
able and venerated Senator from
Iowa, was doing in New York with
reference to the tariff, and how his
I.lans were matured to bring about an
early revision of the tariff schedules,
had a contract which would have en-
barrased the oldest living tariff ex-
pert in the business, even if the ex-
pert were on terms of personal in
timacy with Mr.. Allison, and was
commissioned to ascertain just what
Mr.. Allison's present relations TO the
tariff matters really were. Senator
Allison does not go to New York to
map out plans for tariff revision He
does not confer with anybody, except
in whispers, as to the plans of the
Senate Committee ON Finance Even
members of that committee of august
statesmen have much difficulty in OBJ
tanning a categorical answer from the
Iowa Senator as to just what should
he done and when it should begin
Senator Allison is the acting chair
man of the Senate Committee on FL
nance in the absence of Chairman
Nelson w. Aldrich. of Rhode Island.
In Mr.. Aldrich's absence Mr.. Allison
secured the passage in the Senate of
the customary resolution authorizing
the Senate Committee on Finance to
sit during the recess between the last
and the next Congress, at times and
places convenient to the committee
members, and to investigate govern
ment revenues and finances. Mem
bers of the committee, according to
our well-informed Washington CORE
sDondent, including such influential
Senators as Plat of Connecticut, and
Srooner of Wisconsin, frankly con-
fess that they do not know up to this
time what will be done by the COM
Eittee
Senator Allison upon his return to
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1905-05-06
At AndersonviIIe.

Speaking of Andersonville. Melvin
Grigsby, friend of Capt. Arch Moody
said:
1T was about dark when we entered
the outer gate. On each side of what
seemed a street, leaving room for us
to pass in column, we saw a dense
mass of human beings The line on
each side was composed of living skel
etons, walking mummies, ragged.
many of them nearly nude, all skin
and bone, with compilations as black
as Indians. These men were starving.
There they stood, their great eyes
protruding beyond their gaunt and
bony cheeks; their limbs, half cover
ed, showing enlarged, swollen joints.
bruised knees and elbows. and great
pUffballs of feet
Andersonville is situated in a sparse
ly settled portion of Georgia. Along
the streams is a stretch of swampy
lard, and the prison was made by en-
closing sixteen acres of this swamp
within a stockade. A small stream
ran through the enclosed sixteen acres
and was used as basis for water sup
ply and the sewage disposal. The
$1,000 men confined in the prison at
one time were given no tents, nc
blankets They broke the underbrush
from the marsh, and with the instinct
of savage men built coverings to pro-
tect themselves from the rains and
the scorching sun. The men were
counted off in divisions of ninety each
and twelve such divisions was called
detachment. Each detachment was
allotted a small portion of ground on
which to sleep. Each prisoner was
given a scant pint of meal, a quarter
of pound of meat or it's equivalent
in rice and beans, once a day, and a
teaSpOonful of salt once a week. The
fare was never Observation-Disclosures

Confederate Flags Sent Back.

Gen. Ainsworth, the military secre
tary, has shipped about 500 old cap
tured confederate flags to the govern
ors of former secession states. Let
tiers to the governors were also sent
explaining the provisions of the Lamb
law under which the captured banners
in the war department are to be turned
over to the states whose regiments
bore them during the war.
All of the flags were marked, sc
that they could be displayed in state
houses or museums, if desired, with
histories attached.
The remainder of the 522 confeder
ate banners that have reposed in the
war department building for forty
years could not be identified, so worn
and torn are they. AS there is no Law
covering their distribution. they will
be placed in boxes and stored away
again, although there are a number OF
historical societies and other organ
izations that would like to obtain pos
session of one or more of them.
The recaptured Union flags now al
the department have all been identi
fed and arranged, and they will be
shipped to the governors of northern
states, from New England to the IA

Seeks Civil War Heroes.

Walter Kimball of Kane county

Perry of North Alton, Ill, seeking q
reunion of members of the Seventh
Illinois infantry in the civil war. Per
ry, when a boy of II, was orderly to
Mr.. Kimball, who was then post quar-

Kimball was directed to take a guam

Petrol Enoine Works Wonders.


AS & result of a recent trial on the
Thames of a little petrol boat which
developed a speed considerably in ex-
cess of any other vessel of equal
length, the means of propulsion OF
sea-going vessels and the lines on
which they are built may undergo
radical changes in the next few years.
Its inventor, working on the theory
that the power exerted by engines
were better devoted to supporting the
boat on the surface than to pushing
it through the water, after numerous
experiments with differently shaped
full size models, designed a petrol
boat with a practically fiat bottom.
The gain in Hghtness of engine and
fuel by the substitution of the inter
nal combustion petrol engine for
steam enabled forty-foot boat to at
tain a speed of twenty-siX knots, and
the inventor estimates that a 220-fOot
destroyer with petrol engines would
reach speed of forty-five knots. The
perfection of the internal combustion
engine, enabling larger sizes to be
used successfully at sea, remains to
be accomplished, but the physical and
mechanical difficulties to be overcome
hold out sufficient rewards to awaken
energetic studious effort.

A Mothers Wish.


oh. what would we wish for our girls and
boys
AS we gaze at their innocent faces
In the sweet, pure light of their childish
joys.
Where stern care has not yet left its
traces.
What then is the depth of our strong de-
SireS.
What the height of our fondest ambi-
ton.
What the hopes and dreams to which love
aspires,
For their dear lives repleted fruition?
Is it beauty. grace. or sounding name
Honors, riches. and aff1uent station
Or brow bedecl1ed by the hand OF Ia me-
While the world sang her proud COM
mendation?
All of these may be well. yet their glories
IF not crown'd by LIES full, grander
meaning,
As the gold to the dross-chan TO RI
pened grain
They will stand in the great Harvest
