Temporary Let-up ON the Railroads.


Indications grow all along that the
President is letting up on the rail-
roads. Not that he intends doing 50
permanently. He is apparently heed
ing the warnings from New York and
elsewhere that he can easily go too far
and embarrasS the country financially
and commercially. 1t is claimed that
he revised his Indianapolis speech,
after thoughtful consideration, ana
made it less drastic on the railroads
than in its original draft. Probably
the bad crop reports have something
to do with his caution as much. posi-
bly,. as the furry in Wall street.
The President and Il majority of the
Interstate Commerce Commission are
said to favor legislation for the physi-
cal valuation of railroads. but they
hesitate to enter upon the hard cam
paign necessary to persuade Congress;
to grant The authority and to vote the
appropriations. There again the Prcs
dent Is afraid of the business condi-
tions, lest prolonged agitation for
this legislation, which the railroads,
as rule. do not want, should encour-
age business curtaihuent. On top Of
it all is the approach OF the Presden-
tial election. when business is generally
more or less affected. Mr.. Roosevelt
has by no means given up his idea of
asking Congress to legislate further on
railroads. but he is going to take the
Summer in which to think the subiet I
over carefully.

He preferred that John ID. Long, OF

TARIFF REVISION.
II Looks nv II Forces Have Combined to
Keep the Tariff in the EnckgrOund
for "a While.

There has been quite furry of dis
cussion of late about tariff revision. 1t
preceded Speaker Cannon, who was
considerably ruffied at suggestions that
the tariff would have to be revised the
coming Winter and also at suggestions
from official sources in Germany about
the ratification of trade treaties with
the United States. Mr. Cannon stands
forth as one OF the chief standpatters
and he does not propose to have any
thing like tariff revision before the
House of Representatives at the COM
ing session. 1t would keep things ir
a turmoil for six or eight months, run
the session way up into the Summer.
perhaps into August or September, ana
probably make lot of trouble for the
Republicans in the presidential cam
paign. The Speaker does not think
there is reason to hurry about tariff
revision any way, but if the job must
be done he reasons that it can be bet
ter and more satisfactorily done at a
special session of Congress immediate
iy after the next Inauguration.
Little doubt exists that the Speaker
Will have his way. He is absolutely IN
control of the tariff situation in the
House of Representatives. He repre-
sents constituency, as it happens,
that cares little about the tariff one
way or another. His own people think
Uncle Joe" about as fine an official as:
there is in the Government, and they
are proud of him, whatever he says or
does about the tariff Most of his lieu
tenants in the House are also stand
patterS; the Ways and Means Com
mittee, which has charge of tariff bills,
is largely composed OF Standpat Re
publicans. The standpatter.s are also
fortified in the Senate, where there are
practically no revisionists among the
Republican leaders. Thus it viii be
seen that n tariff bill would certainly
have hard shedding: in fact, would
practically have no chance at all
There is probably some truth in the
assertion that the passage of tariff
bill at the next session would be de-
layed in the Senate by Democrats til,
along into the Summer, and that this
would be very embarrassing to the Re-
publicans in the Presidential campaign.
The friends of railroad legislation
would also oppose tariff revision till
after the next election. because they
argue that the tariff bill would be con-
sidered TO the exclusion of all other
important legislation. 1t would crowd
railroad legislation aside. AS a rule
Congress will pass but one bill of par
amount importance at one session, es-
pecially where that is a bill calling for
prolonged consideration in committee
and on the floor. The President has
not yet outlined what his program
will be for railroad legislation, but it
is known that he contemplates asking
Congress to do considerable in that
line. The standpatters and the friends
of railroad legislation will therefore
join forces to keep the tariff in the
background while longer.

An Appeal for Justice.

Editor National Tribune: In 1863
when the civil war was in full blast and
the Union army stood in sore need for
men to fill the places of those killed
and those who had died from disease in
the hospitals or in the prisons, Presi-
dent Lincoln called on Kentucky for
several battalions to be used in that
State alone to guard United States sup
plies. These troops We're to serve as
Kentucky soldiers, and were not to be
taken out of the State, in order that
the old United States veterans could be
kept at the front The old men and
boys, from II years of age to rs, en-
listed for II months. and were kept re-
cruited as their time expired until the
Spring of 1865, when the war ended.
This call of State soldiers was made to
Gen. Porter, then in command of all
the United States forces in and thru
Kentucky. by President Lincoln, Con-
gress later sanctioning the call. These
soldiers were under officers elected by
the different companies, and served
continually under these United States
officers. These men, it must be borne
in mind. who We're called Kentucky SOL
diers, were used at all times by these
United States officers, and never used
solely in defense of the United States
Government. They fought when called
upon by their officers, many getting

ing this service. they wore the same
kind of clothes, had the sama kind of
bareback. bacon, coffee and beans, slept
under the same kind of blankets and
lived just like the other soldiers, and
when their terms expired went home
just as the others. Nearly all of them
are now dead, but those who have
survived have never received one cent
of pension money for their service rem
dered nearly As years ago to help save
this great Union. The debt created by
the soldiers was claimed ana settled
many years ago, while James Il. Nc
Creary was Governor of kentucky. The
Attorney-General of Kentucky applied
to Gems. Porter and Sheldon and others,
from whom they got affidavits, swearing
that these Kentucky soldiers were used
by the United States officers in defense
of the Union. So the Federal Govern
ment settled the claim of the State for
the supplies which it furnished these
men. and later Gov. Beckham employed
Z. c. Calhoun, of Lexington, KY, who
collected the interest on this Kentucky
war claim. These affidavits are to-day

Trailing Arbutis In March In South

Editor National Tribune: At the an

MAGNATE HARTMAN.
Anxious Question as to What Is To Be-
Done About or TO Him.

1t is still burning issue what the
Administration shall do with railroad
magnate Hartman. The Interstate
Commerce Commission has virtually
completed its investigation of his rail-
roads, but the members are seriously
divided over what to do. One side has
allowed it to leak to the public that its
report will favor prosecuting Hartman
all along the line because of the great
0hrgers he has concluded, covering
| Practically one-third of the United
States Another faction in the Com
mission then gave cut the Information
that the Commission would practically
exonerate, because he had been too
wary to violate any law as far as they
could find. 1t was said that they could
not see how he had violated the rail-
road rate law, and further, that they
were afraid Hartman had conducted
his mergers under the advice of such
good attorneys that he could not be
held under the Sherman antitrust
law.
The chances favor the President hav-
ing the deciding voice in the matter.
He is intensely interested in the Harri-
man case, but. as has been told here
tofore. does not want to prosecute the
roads under Harrimans control as long
as there would be danger of disturbing
legitimate business interests. One ex-
pressed it here recently that the Pres
ident did not want to shoot at Harri-
man as long as there was danger of
hitting innocent people behind him.
Chairman Knapp, of the Commits
sion, has said recently that the report
on the Hartman investigation would
probably be made about July 1, or
postponed till some time in the Au-
tumn. 1t is believed the chances are
rather for the Autumn, because the
President leaves Washington soon, and
even now is not taking up much BUSH
ness which is not of pressing char
acter 1t is quite probable that the re-
port will be disappointing when it does
appear, especially if the Commission
decides, as seems probable. that it
should allow the Attorney General to
say whether the Sherman antitrust
law has been violated. The Commits
sion may make some strong recon-
mendations as to legislation to pre-
vent such extensive operations in rail-
roads hereafter, but that will not sat
isfy demands that Hartman be pun
is1ed in the courts. Chairman Knapp
is one of the Commissioners who hold
that there is little to be done to Harri-
man except to enact legislation to pre-
vent him or any other from repeating
the operations by which he has be-
come such a colossus in the railroad
