REPUBLICANS RELIEVED
WHEN NORRIS LANDS

Guthrie, Aug. 2.-Now that Joe Nor
ris and Herbert House have landed
their federal jobs, things about re-
publican headquarters have assumed
a death-like silence. From the tone OF
the republican press all over the
state it is conceded that these jobs
were obtained at the cost of party in
terests. Several of the most radical
papers. like the Tulsa World, concede
that all of the trouble connected with
the referendum petition was caused
by neglect on the part of the chair
man and secretary, and they are now
heaving a sigh of relief and express
ing a hope that republican interests
will be better safeguarded now that
the officers of the committee have
more time to look after the interests
of the party.

ing's issue which said; "The tariff
bill prepared by republicans fulflls
promises"
For once the State Capital has told
the truth. The tariff bin is in strict
conformity with promises which se-
cured for the republican campaign
committee millions of dollars In con.
tributions. 1t is in conformity with
promises which elected the earnest
support of all the trusts and com
bines Of the nation but 1t is diametri-
cally opposite to the promises made
in their platform to the people Of the
United States.
This serves to show that the re-
publican party regard as much more
sacred promise made to the trusts
on the side than a promise made to
the people through their platform.

las conferees by the speaker as would
give him control of a majority of the
house conferees.
"AlI legislation is the result of com
promise and because Of its many
schedules each schedule being law
unto itself, a tariff bill is distinctly So
But all compromise in legislation takes
its form from the convictions Of those
who make it. The present tariff bill,
marring those items in which the
house had a vote and the others
where the effects of the presidents
timely efforts were shown, was com
promise between single small com
mittee Of the house, not particularly
skilled in the subject. and the senate.
In each instance the house. itself,
by majority vote, adopted the special
rules. Why the house did so cannot

items alone, did the membership of the
Aouse participate in the construction
of tariff. On 1896 items the house
took no part.
"rhe senate gave full consideration
to the bnl. 1t was then returned to
the house and again special rule was
adopted keeping the membership OF
the house out of vital contact with the
bill and its provisions. The bill then
went to conference and was again re-
turned to the house and once more
by special rule the house was pre-
vented from opening up the bill AS
though this were not cloture enough
two other moves were made which
are noteworthy, first the manipula-
tion by which the BILL after it had
been considered in conference, was
acted upon first in the house, instead
of first in the senate, and, second, in
stead of first in the senate and sec
ond, the selection of such individuals
