To Open Big Fight in the Upper
House Of Congress.
MAKE an ISSUE FOR THE CAMPAIGN
TARIFF QUESTION
is TO BE TAKEN UP IN THE
NEAR FUTURE.

WASHINGTON, II. e., May H.
Upon the passage of the rate bill, the
senate probably will take up the Phil
ippine tariff question on a motion to
discharge the commission from further
consideration of the subject. This will
bring the entire tariff before the sem
ate and pave the way to a great deal
of tariff discussion for campaign pur-
poses.
Thus far the senate has made very
little campaign material in the way of
speeches 1t is the plan Of the leaders
in that body to accept the tariff issue,
and democrats and republicans will
soon be busy in the preparation of tar
iff speeches. The standpat element is
in control in the senate as in the house,
and disposed to accept the challenge
of the democrats to go to the people on
the question Of tariff revision.
Today 1 asked prominent officer Of
the republican congressional commit
tee what kind of a result at the polls
would justify the standpatters in
abandoning their present position, and
he replied:
Might Call Special Session.
SHOULD the republican party gain
control of the next house of repre-
sentatives by a margin of somewhere
between ten and twenty majority, in
my Judgment that result, the tariff hav-
ing been the chief issue in the cam
paign, would justify congress in taking
up the tariff with a view to general
revision. The president, under such
circumstances, would probably call
congress in special session for revision
purposes, on March 5, 1907, Immediately
following the adjournment of the short
session of next winter
If Democrats would Win.
The present republican margin in
the house is 112, and a cut of the ma
ture referred to would amount to al
most a revolution. The danger at
tending it would, Of course, be very
great. The republicans would run the
risk of losing the house entirely, in
which event there could not possibly be
any revision until after the presiden-
tial election, for a republican senate
would not pass any tariff bill first pass
ed by a democratic house.
This carrying the tariff forward to
1908 might have the effect of mini
MIXING the Importance of some of the
radical issues that otherwise are sure
to appear in that year. and from that
point of view the postpOnement would
not be entirely without it's compensa-
ton.

action to this end. Each church might
adopt any one of two or three plans as
follows: Pay the above mentioned
amount as a society and select from it's
members or congregation y or Is sing
ers who shall comprise choir to be
given the singing lessons free on condi-
ton that they sing in that choir for at
least one year. What church would not
be willing to pay $50 or s25 year for
the services of good choir? Or, guar
antee S25, then work to secure pupils
enough at dollar apiece to make up
the amount Or, pay the amount and
let 20 or % members of its congregation
join the class
Books for the class could be furnished
to each pupil at cost of 80 to 80 cents
apiece. In two or three years time a
music convention of this kind, if backed
by the right spirit, would become a self
sustaining institution. Let US have
something done for future singing in

There is. however, much to be done in the way
Of improving our commercial relations with our
Southern neighbors. This becomes apparent
when we consider the size and the natural wealth
Of those countries, and the opportunities that
exist there for development and for the invest
ment Of American capital Take for example,
the Argentine Republic with its I,oo5,or3 square
miles larger than the area Of the United States.
including the colonies. Even Venezuela is more
than twice as large as Texas. AS for cities, there
is Buenos Ayres, with population Of over 7oo,-
ooo which is about one and a half times the size
Of some Of our own cities, such as Boston, Bal
tinore and St. Louis
The fact that during the last thirty years the
commerce Of those nations has more than
doubled itself so that it now exceeds The an ount
OF one and half billion dollars, is an in 6cation
Of what may be expected within the next three
or four decades. European countries have for
long time been sensible Of the benefits to be de-
rived from extending and strengthening their
business dealings with tie South American re-
publics, and that is why Europe has been getting
the larger portion Of thei. trade In the United
States we have been concerned chiefly with im-
proving our trade in the countries across the
Atlantic and in the far East, and we have over
looked to a great extent, the vast opportunities
that lie close at hand If the visit Of our Secre-
tary Of State to Rio dc Janeiro shall awaken in
us a keen interest in our neighbors to the south,
much good ought to result fro mhis taking part
in the conference

Sherman is greatly gratihed at the re-

sanguine that the peoples single dol

of special significance and encourage

following letter inclosing check for 81
bearing the signature Of the President

THE MISTAKES OF COREY.

L is said that William L. Corey OF Steel Trust
a fame, once attempted stiicide There are
many who now think that he made mistake in
not doing the job better, But he made graver
mistake when he forced his faithful wife to insti-
tute divorce proceedings. For twenty years he
and his wife lived happily together, and it was
only after material prosperity had turned his
brain that he came to bestow his affections upon
other women Affections hardly that for man
Of Coreys calibre is not capable Of true love-he
simply becomes infatuated He is now free to
take up with the Gilman woman, his angel" who
is resting III Paris, or some other woman, who
ever II may be that is so unfortunate as to be the
object Of his present admiration The cold-heart-
edness and brutality displayed by Corey in. thus
casting aside his companion and hepmate in his
early struggles deserves that he be ostracized by
good society but he doesn't move in that kind
OF society he is not likely to receive such treat
ment. Corey's sister testified that in her opinion
no man Of the rich class he associates with isAht
to bring up boy: and there is much truth in
the statement, it is probable that Corey will be
received with open hands by his associates and be
called good fellow Men Of the William L.
Corey type are moral lepers, and there is more
reason to shun them than there is to avoid such
as the pitiable Syrian leper, Rossett We almost
wish that Corey lived in the land of vigilance
committees and white-caps a thick-coating Of
tar and feathers might bring him to his senses.

DARBY LINE
IS DANGEROUS
Patrons Complaining Of Poor
Equipment and Dangerous
Condition Of Road

Patrons of the Darby trolley line are
loud in their denunciat.on of the service
Of that company. For lack of proper
equipment, cars frequently catch on fire
and are stalled for hours at a time.
The conditions are so bad that fire.
quently the crews. unable to proceed
further with their cars, are taken in by
people along the line and given their
meals.
one prominent Wilmington man, who
lives above Gordon Heights, walked
along the Darby line for a short dis
tance the other day and with his fin-
gers was able to draw from the ties
four spikes, which We're supposed to
hold the rails firmly to the bed of the
road. He also picked up a large piece
of a rotten tie with a spike in IT, and
altogether he now has splendid ex-
hibit displayed in a case.
On account of the spreading of the
rails, because they are not securely
fastened to the ties. cars frequently
leave the track. and it is a miracle that
no serious mishaps have occurred. 1t
is understood that Improvements are
contemplated, and the patrons Of the
line hope that it win be soon.

not to attempt to spread himself down

for senatorial candidates TO announce
themselves after the Legislature has been
secured. And after that they do very wei
to wait tin the party calls for them.

up at the opening Of every campaign to

Attorney y-Generalship, or the Senate. and

Miser to the Last.

Russell Sage evidently cared less for
what the community thought of him
dead than he did for the regard Of his
fellows in life. Millions he leaves to his
widow and blood kin. but not a cent 20
philanthropy. To the last breath he was
the uninching mercenary. Charitable
critics who withheld their censure Of his
unlovely life in the hope that he had
sought to atone for a selfish and narrow
life by devoting his wealth to some great
public use may now vote to make unani-
nous the verdict the world has passed
over Russell Sage's grave.
The theory that Mrs. Sage is charged
with the public benefactions which hsr
husband did not make, either in the
flesh or In his last win and testament

lifetime was noted for her works IL
charity. Invariably he chose to let her do

usury will go to her credit, nor serve to
