in the House pending the appointment OF
committees will be long one.
Whether Congress decides 10 open the
doors fully to all sorts of legislation at
this session or not, the change-of-date
amendment should be regarded as an
emergency measure, rendered of the most
pressing Importance by the spectacle af-
forded on the fourth, when tens of thou
sands of people, drawn to this city by
patriotic impulse 10 see the President in
augurated. were exposed 10 the bitter
winds and the dangers of slush-covered
streets. 1t is stated that more than one
hundred members of a Massa chuSettS
regiment of militia are now suffering from
pneumonia, contracted while on duty here
in Washington at the Inauguration. No
one can tell how many other people have
fallen victims to the blizzard. Congress
will surely not sit idly by, at a time of
unparalleled opportunity. and once more
postpone action on the amendment which
is imperatively demanded by the Ameri-
can people and which its own members
are daily pledGlng themselves to support.

Tariff Bill.

Vine. Tariff Bill first came along
He didn't look to be 80 strong
He had a mild convincin' style
That seemed uncommon free from guile.
He said in accents kind an meek
That his only wish was to help the weak,
But the way he trained some chosen pets
Has caused deluge o vain regrets.
He started IN with arithmetic,
But he also taught 'em many trick,
Like the Japanese, when they're wrestlin',
do
In the game we speak of as o-jit-soo.
He trained 'em fine an he rubbed 'em
down
TILL they whipped the school yard an
went to town
An raised high jinks an disturbed the
peace
An talked real sassy to the police
There isn't person who wouldn't say
That Tariff Bill, IN a certain way,
Was a first-class help to our risin' youth.
But he got too sporty, an that's the
truth.
Some say there isn't the slightest doubt
That he ought to be got along without.
Yet, we need his wisdom an prize his
skill
But We've got to reform old Tariff Bill!

Revenue and Expenditure.

Senator Scot of West Virginia offers
this suggestion:
Il am old-fashioned enough TO believe
that before attempt to solve the
question of additional, revenues we should
first determine where we can economics
ana thereby reduce present expenditures.
We arc spending tremendous volume Of
money annually building new ships. and
on the army and navy generally. These
expenditures, L believe. are an ex-
travagant scale, and could be reduced
materially without harming the efficiency
of our defenseS."
The question Of what We are to spend
goes right along with the question of
what to raise in the way of
revenue. Both should be discussed to-
gether. and presumably will 1t is not
in the November mandate to levy taxes
for the purpose OF piling up huge sur
plus in the Treasury. or Of creating a
huge deficit there. Revenue is for the sup
port of the government on liberal lines.
and adjusted 50 to protect American
labor and industries where protection is
necessary. Ii is to he hoped that Con-
gress will give both questions a most
Thorough examination.
As rule charges of extravaganza lev
eled at public expenditures lack specifica-
tons. Men will say: I'VE are spending
too much money. We are losing the
plain and simple view of life. We travel
and seeing show abroad We return and go
in for the same thing ourselves. We
must change all this. We must apply
the knife, and get back to first princi-
pies" But when these men are asked
TO indicate where the knife should be
applied they shrug their shoulders and
reply, "Oh. i'll number of places"
Mr.. Scott is not of this set. He volun-
teers specifications. He names the army
and the navy as absorbing too much
money. He does not say how much but
presumably is ready 10 give his figures.
Now this is something like. Let every
senator and representative on either side
of the general proposition follow suit.
Let every one who thinks are spend
ing too much say SO and explain his posi-
| ton, and every one who thinks appro-
priations should be kept up TO high
| mark say and give his reasons. In
that way the country will be better adj
vised on the subject than it now is, and
what is done for raising revenue will be
the better approved.
Mr.. Scott is from an interior state. and
| does not take the same view of the navy
that men living on the seacoast do. When
he speaks in their presence they will chal-
lengc his attitude and explain their own.
They are opposed to skimpinS the navy
and if pressed might propose cuts in mat
tiers he wants literally supported.
| But it is only in this way that our
most important public measures are
shaped. We occupy an empire. with di-
versifed interests and demands, and as
| a consequence many things, some appar-
entity conflicting, have to be considered in
| levying taxes and laying out the money.
Mr.. Scott gives the right cue. Let us
| consider where the revenue is going as
| well as where it is coming.

Yesterday in the House.

The rules of the House were slightly
amended yesterday andg on sound and
beneficial lines. since the powers or the
individual representatives were somewhat
increased without materially impairing
The ability Of the House 10 do business
though what was obtained by the op-
ronents Of the old procedure could Wei
have been left until December. when
there will probably be a renewal Of the
struggle.
Still the demonstration was Of inter
est and. IN a way. instructive. 1t de
velopcd insurgents on the democratic
side. and showed that two were playing
IT the game. Republicans refusing TO fol
low Mr. Cannon confronted democrats
refusing 10 follow Mr.. Clark. There was
sharp open debate, and sharper private
conversation But the result was not
vitalIy important. unless take into ac-
count the fact that what might have
grown into an obstacle to a prompt dis
posal Of the tariff question-and BY some
may have been so intended-was nipped.
The Speakers power, in all of Its ma
teriaI aspects remains unimpaired. as it
should. lie will again name the COM
mittees he should and be responsible
10 the House. as he should. That Mr..
cannon will discharge this duty accepta-
bly, one doubt who has knowledge
OF how he has already discharged it three
times. His acquaintance with public af-
fairs and with public men warrants the
assertion that the matter will be safer
in his hands than it would have been
in the hands of committee.
There were several things yesterday
which made old observers of politics and
politicians smile. Mr. DalZell. immediate
ly after his resolution for the adoption of
the old rules had been read, moved the
previous question. That was one of those
examples OF tyranny of which the demo-
Gratis have SO bitterly complained. But
no sooner had Mr.. CIark's resolution for
a special committee to revise the rules
been read than the author. taking Mr.
Dalzell for model. moved the previous
question on it. He thought at the mo-
ment he had the situation in a sling. and
was eager TO use the supposed advantage.
After adjournment the majority of the
democrats in caucus put their committee
assignments in the hands of their leader.
Mr.. Clark. They agreed not to accept
anything at Mr.. Cannon's hands unless
vsed by Mr. Clark. Had they been logi-
cal they would have appointed a COM
mittee TO pass upon the list. Why the
one-man power in Mr.. Clark's case after
such severe condemnation of it in Mr..
Cannon's? But men playing politics are
never logical unless logic comes handy.
The personal triumph of the day was
that of young New Yorker Mr.. Fitz-
gerald has entered upon his sixth term in
the House. and was highly considered on
both sides of the chamber before he rose
o-da prrt 1rh hn cat dnv he had
more to his credit than ever. He had
led the debate and won the fight. dis
tancing and defeating Mr.. Clark on his
own side. and bringing the other side into
his train. Here is a northern democrat
who may have the stuff of national lead
ership In him. He carries himself in a
warm debate with admirable poise. and
knows his way around.

There can be no Justification OF a post

journ a half-dozen voices in assent, and a
dissolution. this will be the device to keep
up the record in form. while the commit

Such a program will be distinctly I'M
popular and will cause much adverse
criticism of Congress. There will be no
lack of routine work which the two
houses can accomplish while waiting for

tamination and decentralization through
