TARIFF BILL PASSED.
Ten Republicans in Opposition-One
Democrat for 1t.
Yours truly,
ROBERT D. FooTE

Ten Republicans in Opposition-One
Democrat for 1t.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was
passed by the senate at I'LL O'Clock
Thursday night, the final vote being
forty-fve, noes thirty-four. Ten re-
publican progressives from the middle
west-Senators Beverage, Bristow.
Brown, Burkett, Clapp, Crawford,
Cummins, Dolliver, La Toilette and
Nelson-voted against the bill. Mr..
McEnery, of Louisiana, was the only
democrat who voted for it. In align
ing himself with the republicans on
this question, the Louisiana senator
repeated his action OF twelve years
ago, when he broke with his party and
voted for the Dingley bill,
Immediately after the announce
ment of<the vote Mr.. Aldrich moved
that the senate insist on all its amend
ments to the bill and ask for the ap-
pointment Of a conference committee.
After Mr.. Bailey had entered protest
against this procedure, the Aldrich
motion was adopted, and the vice
president announced the appointment
of eight conferrees to represent the
senate. Senators Aldrich. Burrows,
Penrose, Hale and Cullum, republi-
cans, and Senators Daniels, Money
and Bailey, democrats, were named.
1t is expected that the house will dis
agree to the senate amendments to-
day that the speaker will be author.
lied to name the house conferrees, and
that the conference committee will
begin its work tonight or Saturday
morning.
Speaker Cannon is confident that
the tariff bill will be passed as soon as
the conferrees agree. He realizes that,
there mnst be some debate, and is in
clined to believe that at least four
days will be necessary before final &C
tion is taken. The Speaker and Mr..
Payne agree that tits too much to ask
the House to adopt the corporation
tax without some discussion, and it is
probable that almost every one who
desires will obtain fair quota of
time.
The threatened instruction seems
to have gone up in smoke. Nobody is
leading it, nor does a volunteer appear
to be forthcoming. The sentiment
among the insurgents" is that it is
risky to trifle with a tariff bill, and
that the organization will be held re-
sponsible to the country. If it proves
a good measure the insurgents" want
to be in position to claim share in
it, but If it does not turn out we'll
they wish to condemn it loudly. The
" insurgents, in the language of Rep
resentative Dwight, are (" taking no
chances"

THE Chicago Tribune +" on Tues
day published table of the number
of persons killed and injured through
out the United States as the result of
two days celebration of the Fourth Of
July. 1t shows forty-four persons dead
and 1851 seriously injured, many of
whom are in danger of death from
lockjaw. The lists show the more
rigid laws and the growth of public
sentiment for "safe and sane :"
Fourth of July have materially re-
duced the casualties. Full returns
show falling off in the number of
dead of twelve from the record of 1908,
though there was a marked increase
in the number of injured In 1908,
1899 persons were injured in celebrat-
ing, or 462 fewer than this year.
There was also an increase in the fire
loss, the total reports this year being
S724,5l5 against 1857, 1850 last year.
The above figures for 1908 do not all
agree with the compilation made by
the American Medical Journal and
quoted by the World Almanac. That
list places the number of dead and in
jured last year as 1872 and 1928, re-
Spectively.

THE paying out of seventeen million
dollars in dividends by the Lacka-
wanna directors last week caused no
little comment in Wall street and
jumped the stock up to $50, new
high mark. Considering that the par
stock is only fifty dollars share the
distribution of special interest aggre-
eating sixty-fve per cent. is remark
able. Those who have held Lacka-
wanna stock for any length of time
have realized well on their investment
and there is little better on the mar
ket to-day, except, perhaps, Standard
OH. The Lackawana has fast become
the best paying road anywhere
when it is taken into account that
millions of dollars are being annually
spent for improvement.

THE Court of Errors and

The Court of Errors and Appeals
djourned for the term Tuesday, after
having disposed of one hundred of the
one hundred and sixty-five cases on it's
calendar. This leaves a hangover of
sixty-five cases for the November term
"a sufficient number to occupy the
time OF the court until the holidays !;
but more will be added, and it is easy
to see that before long business will
be a year behind. 1t has been as
serted that the proposed judiciary
amendment is sin the interest of the
lawyers" The fact recited will show
that it is in the interest of the people.
If for no other reason than to aid the
court in disposing promptly of bust
ness, the judiciary amendment should
be adopted.

The Trenton Times says CAS-

1876 ballots were cast, ninety three for

AT Trenton on Tuesday Supreme
Court Judge Swayze granted rule di,
recting John Rotterdam, chairman of
the Hudson County Republican com
mittee, to show cause, July 10, in Jer-
sey City, why the court should not
command him to file with the NUM-
cipal clerks statements calling for the
election of new County Committee
at the primaries September %. This
is point scored for the New idea
men. The County Committee last
winter adopted a new constitution
which provides for the election Of two
members from each election district
instead of member for every one
hundred voters or fraction in an cleo
tion district. The contention is that
the proposed method is illegal and
that the present County Committee is
only a de facto body that ends with
the September primary.
