Senate.


The tariff bill was reported today by
Mr.. Aldrich from the committee on
finance, and on Thursday it will be
taken up for consideration. Senator
Daniel led democratic criticism of the
reporting of the bill to the senate with
out affording the democratic members
an opportunity to inspect 1t. Senator
Aldrich replied that to have proceeded
otherwise would have entailed long de-
lay, and reminded the members of the
minority that the republican majority
alone would be held responsible for the
tariff legislation to be enacted by this
congress. A message from the house
asking for the return of the bill reached
the senate too late for action. Ad-
journed at 1916 o'clock until Thursday.

The house was in session two hours
and fifteen minutes today The first ac-
ton taken was the adoption of a reso-
luton calling upon the senate for re-
turn of the Payne tariff bill next
Thursday in order that 1T might be cor

troleum in the free list. During the
confusion incident to the passage of the
bill Friday last it was believed that this
provision was embodied In II, but IL de-
veloped that such was not the case, al

HearttoHearf
Talks.
THEY DID NOT STEAL ENOUGH.
By EDwINsA. NYE.
co1Uxzghz 1sus, by American Press
Association.

The other day a band Of Ute Indians
took enough -four to keep their fami-
lies from starving.
How quickly the soldiers got after
10, the poor Indian! How they chased
him over the cactus pastures to make
an American holidays What lot of
exercise our soldiery got from the
chase, to say nothing Of the opportu-
nifty to get a pot shot at the fleeing
aborigines.
You see, the trouble was the Utes
were not incorporated for purposes of
high finance.
They had no patent with a big seal
on it permitting them to steal after
the manner Of the statutes made and
provided.
They had neglected in the haste of
their hunger to organize a trust that
would evade the Sherman law-and
the soldiers.
That is where the noble red man
missed out.
He should have aimed higher. In
stead of stealing a few sacks Of -four
he might have organized q corner in
breadstuffs and taken over the output
Of all the big Touring mills in the
country.
Or
He might have organized a trust
and by manipulating legislation taken
profits by special privilege.
He could easily secure able lawyers,
and these high browed attorneys
would direct the making of convenient
laws. Either by the making or the in.
terpreting of the laws the lawyers
would enable him to exploit the whole
people, white and red, by means of q
monopoly
If brought to book for his trans
gression he could easily hire more
lawyers.
BY hiring more lawyers the Ute
could escape the soldie'
Unfortunately the guileless wards OF
the nation had neither a corner or
-four nor articles Of incorporation mol
lawyers.
But the chief culpability of this bant
Of Utes consisted in the fact that the
Indians took only what was necessary
to keep their squaws and papoose'
alive for a few days.
Think Of the heinous offense of thes'
decadent braves. They stole only {
few sacks of -four and turned the bal
ance and the wagon and the horses
back to the driver.
Every trust magnate in this land o
the more or less free and brave mus
smile in pity at the crude methods o
the Utes.
Such bunglers In the fine art Of lar
ceny richly deserve to be chased ant
shot down by the soldiery!

horsemen. curl like the dewlap of a
