TARIFF REVISION
BOBB|NG UP
SERENELY
Other Interesting Gossip
About Political Mat
terS in Washington.

Washington, Feb. 1.-As one SEN
sation after another dies out I'm con-
gress and matters begin to run along
in the old fashioned, quiet manner
that pleases those who are willing to
avoid hard work, the tariff revision
lists bring out from its hiding place
their tariff reform" banner and
start the agitation. With the cessa-
ton of the struggle i'm the senate over
the Brownsville affair and the in
crease of the salary of members that
stirred the house from top to bottom,
legislative matters began to grow mo-
notonous. The northwestern mem
bers. unmindful of the dismal failure
of the New England revissionists. un-
der the leadership of Butler Ames, of
Massachusetts have begun to talk en-
ergetically of tariff revision and are
now circulating a petition calling for
a caucus of republicans for the pur-
pose of urging an extraordinary ses-
sion of the sixtieth congress to take
up the tariff question.
Just how a caucus of members of
the present congress can control
the action of the congress which is
not yet in existence does not appear,
IL
ent republican members were to de-
clare in favor of the wisdom of such
action, the president might be guided
in that direction. President Roose-
welt, however, has shown that he is
quite capable of doing what he be-
lieves should be done, regardless of
whether such action meets the ap-
proval of members of congress or
not. If he believes the time is not
ripe for the consideration of the tar
iff question, he will not call congress
together, no matter how insistent the
tariff reformers may be.
Judged by the consensus of con-
gressional opinion, however, there
would seem to be little danger of a
caucus being called. Some time ago
the impression was gathered from
the talks of party leaders that moth
ing would be done with regard to the
tariff until after the next presidentiol
election, and nothing has happened
since to indicate a change in this
program. The republican party
managers favor going TO the people
in the next campaign with a plank
in the platform that will pledge the
party specifically to a moderate re-
vision of the tariff, and If the peo-
pie believe that is the party of wis
dom they will endorse the party at
the polls. AS to the result of such a
platform republicans profess to have
no doubt.
On the other hand, the democrats
declare their readiness to go to the
country on the tariff issue alone. Re-
cent events in congress and the
speeches of the president suggest to
many that it is upon the tariff and
that alone that the parties now dis
agree. There is little hope for re-
vision so long as the speaker and the
party leaders oppose it, and certain
ly nothing of the kind will come
about before the next presidential
election.

Government Clerks Wages.

Scattered throughout the city OF
Washington and the country at large
therN is an army of government
clerks and other employees aggrega-
ting something like 100000 persons,
and every one of this army of wage
earners is looking to Washington i'm
the hope that the long discussed and
oftpostponed proposition to make a
general increase i'm their pay may be
realized. There is little hope of ac-
ton in this direction being taken at
the present session of congress, but
events seem surely to be moving to-
ward that end. Once last week the
congress increased by fifty per cent
the salary of its members, the speak
er, the vice-president and the mem
bers of the cabinet Having done
this, similar action in behalf of other
government employees can not well
be denied,
Congress has already recognized
the fact that salaries need adjust
ment. The postoffice committee in
its bill to be reported next week will
Increase the pay of railway mail
clerks, rural and city carriers, in
volving an increase in the budget on
that account of something like $10,-
100000. A resolution is pending to
give an increase of 20 per cent to all
congressional employees. The legis-
lative bill which is now i'm conference
carries a large number of increases
in salary for bureau and other i'm
portant officials. The trend of public
opinion is decidedly favorable to pay
more for government clerks and all
the arguments advanced by members
of congress with regard to the in
crease of living are applicable, and
probably with added force, to the
more humble public servant. 1t is
probable that when the legislative
bill is taken up by the house COM
mittee in the long session of the next
congress some scheme of general re-
vision of salaries will be agreed
upon.

ITALIAN CHARGED WITH
SETTING FIRE TO Mine
THRHE LOSE LIVES IN BLAZE
PRISONER Is ACCUSED OF
STARTING TO AVENGE FAN
CiED WRONG.

A Trinidad, Colo, dispatch, dated
January so, says:
Under heavy guard, John Rodri-
guez, an Italian, was this afternoon
taken from Van Houton to Ration, n.
M, charged with having deliberately
set fire to Willow mine No 5. belong
ing to the St Louis Rocky Mountain
& Pacific Railroad company, at Will
low arroyo, forty miles south of
Trinidad.
He is said to have remarked that
he fired the mine to avenge a fancied
wrong The three men who lost their
lives in the mine were Peter Lumley,
pit boss and a relative of r. ]. Lum-
ley, who was killed at the Primero
disaster a few days ago; Matt Kill
murray, fire boss, and Jake Harris,
colored.
There were four men in the mine
at the time it was set on fire, and
one OF them, Robert Anderson, man
aged to escape the same evening.
He was painfully though not seri-
ously burned. He holds out no
hope for the escape of his comrades,
giving 1t as his belief that they were
incinerated within a few hours of the
time he made his escape.

Party Eight for OklahOma.

Both parties are Just now bending
every energy to capture the new
state of Oklahoma. The republicans
have been greatly cheered of late be-
cause of what they believe will be
a big political mistake on the part
of the democrats that will surely put
the new state in the republican col
umn at the first general election.
Democratic leaders in Washington
realize the situation too, and are
doing all they can to prevent this
mistake from being made. AS the
territory now stands, owing to the
large influx of population from Ar
kansas, Texas and other states, the
indications are that it would be dem
ocratic. The democratic party con-
trolls the constitutional convention
now in session. There appears to be
strong determination on the part
of the convention to put into the
state constitution a Jim Grow" law
similar to that in force in some of
the southern states. Some politicians
hold that to do this would cause con-
gress to refuse to approve the consti-
tuition and prevent the president
from issuing his proclamation de-
claring the admission of the state in
to the union.
They likewise fear that such a
proviso in the constitution at this
critical juncture would throw the
state to the republicans. Influential
democrats here have sent sharp tele-
grams to the members of the conven-
tion urging them not to make this
mistake and pointing out that after
the state is admitted and given all
the sovereign rights of every other
state. it would be within the power
of the state by legislation to make
this proposed discrimination against
negroes as effective as by its incorpo-
ration in the constitution. If con-
gressional influence has any weight
among the members of the conven-
ton there will be no reference to
Jim Crow" law or anything squint-
