Worth Draws Its Tribute.

Nothing hat the American people
have done in recent years is more to
their credit than the high tributes they
paid Admiral Cervera, who has just
died in his Spanish home. In the midst
of war, when passions ran high and
the country was flushed with victory,
It paused long enough in the jubila-
tions to do honor to the defeated
leader of the enemy. Admiral Cervera
had taken the fighting mans chance
and did the best he could, but, even
in defeat, commanded respect. No
childish whimperings, no exhibition Of
impotent rage. nc idle vaporings, such
as characterized the brutal Weyler, but
q courtly gentleman and a sailor, who
did his fighting only when there was
fighting to do.
During his detention in this country
as a nominal prisoner Of war, he grew
upon the country and when the time
came for him to return home he left
behind him many true friends and adj
mirers. Since then he has 30 conducted
himself as to heighten the regard in
which he was held and at his bier
there will be no more sincere mourn
ers in his own land than in this. Some
characters are strong enough to rise
superior to defeat, while others gener-
ally esteemed great. display great lit
tleness when shorn of the glamour OF
victory.
of Cervera's abilities as a naval com
mander probably only those trained in
the service are capable of accurately
Judging. 1t was Cervera the mar whom
the world, and the American public In
particular, honored. No technical
training was necessary to detect these
qualities In him.

The Insurgents Demands.

The house republican insurgents
have formulated a series of demands,
and presented them to the ways and
means committee in the shape of
amendments to the tariff bill, which
they want submitted when the Payne
bill up for action. To these de-
mands the signatures of some thirty
members have already been attached,
with the prospects that they Will be re-
enforced altogether by fifty or sixty
members.
The demands of the insurgents
cover several points, including the coal
and iron schedules and the restoration
Of a duty on hides, proposed to be put
on the free list. If these items are
submitted to separate votes, II lie quite
possible that the house may make a
few changes in the bill, as agreed On
by the ways and means committee,
but the chances all are that the tariff
bill will pass the house substantially
unchanged and undergo whatever
modification Is in store after 1t reaches
the senate.
To venture a prediction as to how
the tariff bill will look after the sena-
tors get through with 1t would be a
rash undertaking. 1t 10 certain that the
final form will have to be brought
about by a compromise and reconcile
alton of conflicting interests through
the conference committee.
The demands of the house insurg-
ents may do some good in focusing the
fight at certain points, but to make
sure that anything they may gain now
is not lost later, they should insist as
we'll upon representation on the con-
ference committee when 1t shall be APP
pointed.

Move to Bring Expenditures aBd Rev
enues Closer Together.

Pfttsburg Dispatch.
The announcement that President Taft
has laid down for his administrators the
rule OF cooperation between the DEPART
ments TO reduce expenditures and estl-
mates. and to bring about a responsible
relationship between the expenditures and
the revenues will be welcome TO the
plain people. II is the overlooking of that
commoR-sense economy that has been the
greatest weakness Of our government OF
late years,
Th much-needed change to an older
fashion is also remarkable In its shift from
the original thsory OF representative gov
ernment That theory, developed es royalty
began to call on the people TO pay taxation
for the governments support, was that as
the people yield the support their repre-
sentatives should have the exclusive right
to authorize. and therefore to place a limit
on taxation and expenditure. The purpose
was to maintain through the representative
branch a check on royal lavishness or the
waste OF public funds on royal favoritas.
The principle OF the people holding the
purse strings is the foundation OF all con
stitutional power. II was the crucial issue
between Parliament and Charles ]. and
was the leverage by which republieanism
overthrow the Bourbon monarchy. II was
copied in our constitutional enaetments
that taxing and expenditure measures must
originate in the lower house, and that no
public money csn Be- expended except by
authority of an appropriation.
But in this century. with a growth of
popular government hardly dreamed of in
those days, We find the function shifted.
The popular chamber hardly listens 10
even theoretic professions Of economy.
This deyolves on the administrator the
necessity OF caring for that principle. The
present proposition Is for observing it In
the estimates of the coming fiscal year.
But tina II can be carried to a more ef-
feetive degree is manifest in the fact that
there is no constitutional requirement for
any administration TO spend all the money
approprieted for lis use.

mer when he was circulating some
Fitzgerald speeches as campaign docu-
ments to catch votes. This parting shot
is along the same line as the question
which The Bee asked a little while age
as to why. II Mr.. Fitzgerald and the
rest OF the twenty-three were all that
Mr.. Bryan now says they are, he did
o denounce them prior to election,
knowing then that their corporation
strings we're, just as we'll as he knows
them now.
All of which furnishes convincing
evidence in support Of Mr.. Bryan's as
sertion that the democratic party was
never stronger and more harmonious
than It is today and never had brighter
prospects for a victory in the next big
fight.

spits Bill.

In the expiring hour Of the session
the legislature has passed a daylight
saloon bill particularly aimed at
Omaha az rsprisal for the obnoxious
performances OF the lawmakers sent
down to Lincoln with commissions to
represent this city and county.
The daylight saloon was not an issue
Of the campaign and the only motive
behind the action of the legislature in
this case is that Of spite and revenge.
O~stensibly the bill is in answer to a
demand OF the temperance element,
voiced by the Anti-Saloon league, but
ever here It comedies more than the
a~nti-saloon people have been asking.
In the recent primary Just held in
Omaha the officers Of the Anti-Saloon
league p%ropounded questions to candi-
dates for the city council, that re-
lating to the closing OF saloons being:
Will you. IL elected. vote for an ordinance
closing saloons at II o'clock
In Omaha, therefore. the ultimate
goal which the A~nti-SAloon league had
noped 10 reaen TOT the present was
IL o'clock closing and not s o'clock
closing, although. of course, 1t would
doubtless prefer the latter as a little
closer to total prohibition.
The only way a bill legally passed
by the two houses Of the legislature
can be headed of after adjournment
is by gubernatorial veto, Assuming
that the daylight saloon bill has prop
eriy gone through the legislative
stages, of which there is much ques-
ton, It devolves on the governor to
say whether or not 1t shall be law
with or without his signature, or
whether he shall interpose his oficial
disapproval, which would be Anal.

The Fitzgerald Incident.

twenty-three in the tie-up with the
Cannon forces for the organization OF
the house, he has just as much a right
to call himself a democrat as has Mr..
Bryan. In fact. he does not hesitate
to declare that he thinks a democrat
who is elected by his constituents
should have more TO say about II than
another democrat who has been three
times defeated. He further suggests
that II Mr.. Bryan does not think Mr..

Probably the most effective vindication
OF MIR. Harriman's theories Is Mr.. Harri-

the Hartman pudding.
When, therefore, one master railroad d.
rector announces startling general policies
concerning railway management. he Is en-
titled 10 wholly respectful and considerable

~ all the railroads OF the country were
under one control (and he asseverates that
1t would be a good thing for everybody
II they were) they would Immediately be-
gin TO expend 800, 10000 or 90 In improve
ments, especially In standardizing the weak
lines.

the wizard Of railways. but It should be
done Immediately. Yet we would all be

This concluding deduction probably IL

ali the railways e is practically certain
he would at once begin spending 800, O0o. 900
dollars for bettermepts. His policies always
have favored spending money for better
ments. Unlike his predecessor in Wall
street and railwaying. who also was known
as the wizard" Hartman Is not a

streaks of rust he has taken over in his
time are now great properties In every ply

began to flow out the country would be
immensely benefited. The steel Industry,
for example. would leap TO its feet.
Why not, then, call off the dogs. and let
Mr.. Hartman have HE way without fear
ing Mr.. Wickershsm's police?
Simply because the man who became the
unquestloned dictator Of all our railways
could in time become the overload OF all
the rest of us, and ours, and we are not
sufficiently convinced OF the purity Of

Revenue, and Rstrenchment.

Recent intimations that the senate
leaders propose to solve the govern
ment's p~erplexing fiscal problem by
cutting down expenditures instead Of
levying new taxes indicate a welcome
reversion to an old time honored
policy. Always providing the senate
carries It's proposed reform into execu-
ton. The first step toward that end
has been taken by the creation of a
new senate committee on public ex-
penditures, whose duty will be to
scrutinize carefully the estimates Of
the heads of the executive powers for
guidance of the senate in making APP
propriations.
If the new policy is carried out it
will n~ecessitate a decided reform in
the senate customs. Under the consti-
tuition and practice all bills for raising
revenue and paying out the proceeds
originate in the house. but 1t has long
been the custom for the senate to fix
finally the amount of the %appropria-
lions. The record of the upper body
for years is not an argument for con-
servatism in the matter of spending
money. According to the record, the
house has been, In fact, the watch dog
of the treasury and all appropriation
bills have been enlarged and increased
In the senate. after they have been
passed by the house. In the last three
sessions of congress alone the senate
has added a total of $147,701,0 900 to
the general appropriation bills APP
proved by the house. II has been the
custom OF the senate to add literally
to pension bills, river and harbor meas
ures, appropriations for public build
ings, and. in short, to all money carry
ing measures presented by the house.
This plan has become so common that
it has led to complaint among the
house members. who have argued that
no matter how hard they have worked
to reduce expenditures and make a
record for economy their plans have
been upset by the senate.

abroad in the senate the problem OF
federal revenues may be solved by saw
ing the millions added by the senate
to the appropriation bills as passed by
the house. We are yearly spending a
vast amount Of money, not more than
we can afford and not so much, per-
haps. as might be intelligently used,
but it is being spent without any def
mite policy for the enterprises that are
the big absorbers of money. A nation
with an income of about 100000 a
day should not have much dificulty in
living within its means IL a general
plan were adopted by which all the
money really needed may be appro-
priatsd and q bar put against the ex-
penditure OF a penny for waste.
