THE DICKENS PENSION.

The American press has not hest
freedom upon the action of the British
government in voting a pension OF
$3.50 per week to the grandchildren
OF Charles Dickens, the novelist. AS
rule the editorial writer's have
poked fun at the munificence of John
Bull or have taken occasion to de-
plore the British copyright laws, or
the lack of appreciation for the dead
writer. Few of them have gone out
of their way to express other than
adverse views.
With our present Federal pen
sion system, which in many
instances works a hardship up
up both the government and
the individual by granting to for
mer soldiers and public servants sums
incommensurate with the service
they rendered, thus robbing them
and their descendants of the incentive
to labor and at the same time de-
pleting the national treasury, we have
come to regard pensioning as a ne
cessary evil-second only to the tip
ping habit. We have grown lax in |
our ideals and have ceased to revere |
that independence of character which
renders an individual too proud to &C.
cept government aid, and too energetic
10 need it, And it is pretty safe
% say that the American peo
ole generally will think the Brit
shers displayed a mean and parsi-
nonious streak in cutting off the
Dickens grandchildren with a pittance
hat would hardly pay car fare in this
lation of great wealth and big ideas.
But there is another side to the
question. The descendants of Dick
MS entered the world with a decided c
dvantage over the majority of their
contemporaries. Besides possessing
ne prestige which his name gave,
nd which was in itself a commercial u
ssert that would have made many a
ankee Notwithstanding as it did

icy should according to the law of
aredity have possessed some of the I'
ats of mind and heart that made
cir grandfather great in spite of the
rly handicaps of poverty and OBJ 40
urity. If Dickens, whose struggles -
e wildly told in David Coppert1eld,
uld surmount obstacles which do
{ confront any American boy, no u

successfully with life? The fos-

SENATE WITHIN ITS RIGHTS.
Has Power Under the Constitution to
Amend Any Bill for Raising
Revenue.

Noting the general expectation that
the new tariff enactments Will be prac-
| dcally framed in the senate, the Chi.
| cago Daily News conceives it TO be
an infraction of the constitutional
provision that all bills for raising reve-
nue. must originate in the house. That
paper then delivers itself of the fol-
lowing bitter assertion:
The explanation of this degrade
tion OF the house to the point where 1t
crawis humbly at the heels of the SEN
ate even as respects matters of leg
lslation In which, under the consti-
tuition, 1t is supposed to be the superior
body, is found in the words of Cannon
and Cannonism."
The assertion that the senate by
amending tariff bill, even so as to
generally change the character of
Its duties, violates the exclusive priv
ilege of the house to originate such
Dllls, has very slight foundation. In
the constitutional provision the right
OF the senate to propose or concur
with amendments" is as clearly
stated as the right of the house to
originate the measure The house
mas control of the subject in the
power to refuse to originate. When
II has originated a bill it stands on
equal terms with the senate as TO
the acceptance or rejection of amend
ments.
1t Is true that in the final issue on
this as on other legislation the house
mas frequently shown less stamina
In standing up for its views than the
senate. Cannon and Cannonism NAV
be fairly chargeable with several I'M
edlfying features of congressional
politics, but this one is not easily
traceable to that source. 1t is rather
due to a more distinct usurpation by
the senate, through the peryersion
OF the advice and consent clause
SO as TO practically lodge the appoint
ing power In the hands of individual
senators. 1t is the dispensation of
patronage by senators that makes
many members of the house subject
10 the directions of the senator's
from their states. When there is
an important test of strength be-
tween the two bodies this makes the
mouse prone to yield Yet if the
mousse ever gets enough in earnest to
assert its power by Withholding an
preparation bills until its wishes
are met, 1t can bring both the senate
and administration to its feet-Pitts-

Problem in Revenue Law.

The Republicans have. undoubtedly.
problem on their hands. A seriously
defective new tariff law might cost
them dearly in November of next
year. A deficit in the treasury at that
time, or the receipts running neck and
neck with the expenditures, with a
bond issue looming up, would make
their congressional campaign drag
heavily. The people want a comfort
able balance in the treasury, and as
sociate it with good times and a good

revenue enough easily to pay the gov
ernments way upon liberal lines of
living, and while keeping up wages
at home, opening up new markets
abroad, should secure another house
to the Republicans. The country does
not like continuous tariff agitation.
Business suffers, and most especially
under a threat of deep cuts in the
schedules leading toward an exclus-
lively revenue basis. And as Mr..
Bryan and his friends are advocating
a tariff for revenue only, and as they
are the Democratic party. the country

PAYNE BILL HONEST
MEASURE ENDORSED BY NEW
YORK TRIBUNE.
Chief Republican Organ in the East
Asserts That II Carries Out
the Pledges of the National
Platform.

The Payne bill, as 1t goes to the
senate, represents an honest effort to
carry out the pledges Of the Repub-
lican national platform. 1t effects a
substantial downward revision of the
Dingley rates and attempts TO apply
the protective principle scientifically
and nationally. In SO doing 1t goes
much too far to suit the "stand-pa
ters," who consider their own inter
ests paramount to the general good.
On the other hand, it does not satisfy
the extreme Cobdenites, to whom rea-
sonable protection is more obnoxious
than any other form of protection. be-
cause harder to discredit or over
throw. Ii is only from such a per-
verted point of view that the Payne
bill can be attacked as "A triumph of
reaction"
A fair analysis will show that COM
pared with the Dingley bill the Payne
bill exhibits rational progress 1t in
PRODUCES the INSTRUMENTATION prin-
ciple, which will be of undoubted value
in dealing with foreign countries
which have adopted that principle,
and will furnish us a means of secur-
ing everywhere the most favored ma
ton treatment which we are prepared
to give. AS our industries develop and
we attain our natural place as one Of
the greatest of the manufacturing and
exporting nations, protective duties
must decrease and revenues from tar
ifs must diminish. To those, there
fore, who hope to see customs duties
gradually lowered and finally removed
the Payne bill should be especially
welcome. since in imposing a perma-
nent federal inheritance tax it at
least points the way to a gradual
shifting of basis of federal taxation.
We have already expressed our view
that the Payne bill was improved by
the limited consideration allowed 1t in
the house The changes made were
on the whole, highly beneficial. 1t is
to be regretted, therefore, that the
house did not have enough confidence
in itself to go on record on more
questions than were included in the
provisions of the special rule govern
ing debate on the bill There does not
appear to be any good reason why
the house should not have voted on
the maximum minimum sections, the
paragraphs increasing the duties on
gloves and hosiery, the inheritance
tax section, the free coal provision
and other paragraphs and sections on
which there were divisions of opinion.
The house of representatives is vested
by the constitution with the exclusive
right to originate revenue bills. 1t
ought to exercise that right intelli-
gently and deliberately, expressing its
opinion on all points at issue and lay
ing firm foundation for any contest
with the senate on changes in it's
plans for taxation. The consideration
of the Payne bill was much more Sc
rious in character and more fruitful
In results than was the consideration
of the Dingley bill. But it could well
have been more serious and more
fruitful.-New York Tribune
