A CURIOUS LEGISLATIVE SlruA.
TlON

Word comes from Washington,
bearing all the ear-marks of author.
ity, that there will be no Tariff
Revision by the next congress, and
that the President will not even
mention it in his message. The
curious reasons for this action is
stated that the President believes
in doing Zone thing at a time, %
and that "there is no strong de-
mand for such action" The first
reason strikes us as being so weak
that to offer it as reason is al
most an insult to everyone that
understands even the most elemental
principles of lawmaking. There
never has been time in the history
of this government that there has
not been at least dozen measures
of equal Importance pending before
congress at the same time while it
was in session. If the Zone Thing
at Time" rule were to prevail there
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1907-03-07

would be no need of but one
committee in congress-the COM
mittee of the "Whole." If this
mode of procedure is to be the
rule all hope of reform measure
might as well be abandoned. Con.
gress is divided up into differ ent
committees for the very purpose of
doing more than one thing a: a
time.
The second reason is equally
absurd. The demand for tariff re-
vision during the last campaign de-
feated at least a dozen of the
strongest and most popular men,
bers of congress either i'll convention
or at the polls. There is not the
slightest doubt at least seventy-fve
per cent of the voters Of the re-
publican party and an equal per-
centage of all other political parties
earnestly believe that the tariff
should be revised along certain
we'll defined lines, and if it is not
done during the next session some
thing will drop.

SENATOR TiLLMAN.

Senator Tillman, the eccentric
South Corolina Senator, is under
an engagement to deliver lecture
every night from March 4th to
Dec. 4th, and if he fulflls his con-
tract, and he doubtless will, he will
receive TIE princely sum of S45, 900.
The bureau that manages lectures,
of course, expect to make a profit,
and the cities and towns where he
delivers lectures figure on some
thing in their treasures as a result
of these meetings. If these meet
ings are successful it means that
the people will pay in the aggre-
gate $l25,OOO for this series of
talks. Senator Tillman is man of
only ordinary ability. His adj
dresses are rambling Trades against
the north and northern people and
denunciations Of the col0red race.
Why the people of the northern
cities and towns should pay this
enormous sum for the privilege of
hearing themselves scored in the
same terms and language that in
snired the war of the rabplIiOn is a
curious feature of human nature.
Thirty-tive years ago Senator Till
man could not have talked as he
does now in any northern city or
town without being tarred and
feathered and rode on rail out of
the first place he delivered his
TRADE.

had "glutted the town with two edi-
tiens OF 800 and $50 copies. Beattie
and the Scotch publisher went their
way, however, and the edition sold SO
quickly that Gray was embarrassed by
an offer of present of books in recon-
pense for his consent. 81 can not fig

be worth his while to offer me such a

He never accepted any cash pay
ment for his poems. He held it was
beneath his dignity as gentleman to
barter his writings for money, and OF
course the publishers were glad to
oblige him by respecting such a con-
venient scruple. To one of those pub.
fishers, Dodsley, this meant comfor-

alone.
Gray's modest opinion of the "Elegy"
was not affection; it was the constant
result of his sensitive, reclusive ma
ture AS a matter of fact he was not
even responsible for the publication
of a poem. Eight years elapsed be-
tween it's inception and it's completion
and yet even the protracted interval
did not create just conception of its
merits on the authors part. When the
last verse was written he sent copy
to Horace Walpole with the remark
that he had put an end'' to "a thing
of which his correspondent had long
ago seen the beginning, adding: "You
will, hope, look upon it in the light

THE FIFTY-NINTH CONGRESS.

The fifty-ninth congress has
passed from the realm of actually
and into history. 1t has enacted
some sweeping legislation such as
the rate bill, the pure food bill, the
free alcohol bill, the meat inspec-
ton bill, and other Legislation that
has been a radical departure from
the character of legislation passed
by previous congresses. Just what
the result of this legislation will
have on the business of the country
and the welfare of the people is, as
yet, too early to determine. Frank
ly speaking we do not think any
practical results have been &C
complished up to date. The prin-
ciple has been established, however,
that the government has a right to
regulate and control these matters,
and if good results are not obtained
it will be the fault of the executive,
legislative and executive branches
of the government, and as these
are under the control of the people
if they do not do their duty they
will be supplanted by those that
will. The voters have begun to
realize their power as never before,
and they know now that majority
can rule if it exercises it's power,
and they are going to exercise it.
Another remarkable feature Of
this congress is the phenominally
large amount of money appropriated.
We used to speak with bated breath
of "Billion Dollar Congress,
but this has been a :Two Billion
Dollar Congress. That means
that the per capita of appropriations
for the last two years, figuring on
basis of $4,000, 900, is twenty
five dollars for each person in the
country or twelve dollars and fifty
cents a year, figuring on a well
understood basis that state and
local government costs more than
twice as much as national govern
ment-the governed class pay the
governoring class for bossing them
each year-more than forty dollars
for each man, woman and child in
the land. 1t means that notwith-
standing our boosted simplicity the
government of the United States
costs more than that o. any other
government in the world /, |
means that the per capita expenses
Of national expenditures has more
than doubled i'll the last i've years.
We arc not discussing whether This

peoples interests, but we think ii
is subject worthy OF the most
careful! and painstaking comsidera-
ton.
If the per capita ratio of ex-
penses continues TO increase as
rapidly during the next decade as
1t has III The past where will the
end be? According to well
grounded principle of government
expenditure, the per capita ex-
penses ought to decrease as the
population increases, but this has
not been the case in the natio or a
single state in the nation during the
last ten years. What is the reason?
