mons alone TO impose or remit taxation.
In the next session the same measure
was again submitted to the peers and
accepted by them, an action which has
lately been cited as virtual admis-
sion by the lords Of a Limitation upon
their power Of amendment or rejection.
Judging from the utterances of party
leaders on both sides in the course of the
debate In commons and the discussion Of
the subject in public. the campaign which
will follow the rejection Of the budget by
the lords will probably be one OF unsur
passed vigor and bitterness. The liberal
speakers have been unsparing in their de-
nunciation OF the policy Of relieving the
Landed proprietors and large owners of
capital from what they term an equitable
part of the tax burden. while on the
other hand the opponents of the budget
have denounced its supporters as social
lists intent upon fastening permanently
upon England a series of schemes of
finance and administration Of a danger
Gus character.
1t was freely prophesied during the dis
cussion of the probable course OF the
peers on the budget question that the re-
lection or radical amendment Of the
measure by the house of lords would
give impetus to the sentiment latent in
England for the abolition Of that branch
Of parliament. Apparently these fore
casts have not influenced the leaders of
the upper house in their choice of a pol
icy. Lord Transformers motion. which
means an overwhelming vote for rejection.
may be regarded as an acceptance of Che
challenge to submit to the people not
merely the budget question, but the far
more important one Of the continuation
Of the present legislative system in Eng
land

Torches in Coal Mines.
From the New York Tribune.


In the Illinois coal mine according to
the reported admission Of one of the off,
GERS. the fire started in a bale of hay with
which torch had come In contact.
Electric lights are used In the mine, he
said, but they were out of order and
torches had replaced them for the mo-
ment. From two hundred and fifty to
three hundred lives pay the penalty.
Torches are used in all mines in Ill-
nois." Perhaps that Is true and the off,
GERS of this mine are no more at fault
than hundreds Of others who have not
yet been called to account. But II Is evil
dent that electric light can be success
fully used, and while torches are in many
instances more convenient, and possibly
the miners themselves prefer them rather
than to be bothered with the electric
equipment. the interests of humanity
would seem TO dictate that they should be
banished from every coal mine in the
country. The dangers of mining are far
too many under the most favorable con-
ditions, and no other conditions should be
permitted to exist

My eager desire is for power.

OF how 1 control through each hour
Their destinies, leaving them joyous.
Or adding the cold bitter drop
To the cups of all those who annoy us;

On the wicked or on the unwary

And If any in speech got too airy,
A plenty would 1 do to him!

Would halt when / bid them to stop,
And held up my hand without pity.

Mr.. Aldrich's Tour.

At Detroit last night Senator Aldrich
concluded the series Of addresses he had
been making in behalf of currency re-
form. His tour was successful I'm point
of interest aroused. Audiences OF thor
oughly representative character greeted
him at every point. and heard him with
close attention Even in the section
where the Rhode Island senator has done
duty In public discussion as the head
devil Of high protection, with the long red
feather and the forked tail. he found
respectful consideration for the message
he had to deliver.
Mr.. Aldrich presented no bill for in
dorsement. He distinctly stated that he
had none. He likewise declared that no
action on the currency question was likely
at the coming session Of Congress. for
two reasons The question Is not ready
for action. and Congress on other &C
counts will be pressed for time. Such
legislation should not be railroaded.
Currency reform. 1t u needless to say. is
far and away the most important prob
lem now awaiting solution In this coun-
try. The tariff. 1t il true, Is still under
discussion. There are republicans as well
as democrats who insist that the Payne
law Is not an adequate redemption of
the republican promise Of tariff reform,
or such revision as the country needs.
Trust-busting is not back number. and
the conservation of the country's natural
resources is calling out floods Of sugees-
tions. There are issues and issues. and
none lacks for stout champions.
Still. 1t is to be repeated that currency
reform holds over all In its relation to
the general interests of the people. All
interests demand it. All interests will
be served by 1t. For years Congress has
been tinkering with the subject, until We
have now a condition Of things that sat-
isles nobody, and is even considered by
many contributory to some of our en-
barrassments.
The question, we are told, is not po-
litical, and should be taken out of poll
tics. Be it so. But as everything is
made political with US, the only way to
take a thing out Of politics is to settle
1t to the satisfaction of the people. We
operate by and through-and too often
for - politicians. Congress in both
branches is composed of men who know
politics, and many OF them but little else.
The value of the service Mr.. Aldrich
has just performed has been in pointing
out to bankers and capitalists. business
men and wage-esrners. the pressing need
of their cooperation in this matter. 1t
is for them to study the question, and
form and express views which will have
weight with Congress when the law
makers reach the stage of action. What
il done by Congress should reflect the
best opinion Of all sections and all quail
fed classes.

Hints Against the Monarchy.

From the Boston Advertiser.
There is a curious uneasiness reported
in England at the freedom which certain
leaders of the labor party and others
have recently been allowing themselves in
speaking of King Edward s place in the
constitution. These are even regarded as
first hints of the opening of a definite
campaign against the monarchy" This
is more awe-inspiring even than attacks
upon the semi-sacred house OF lords.

From the Buffalo Express.

The gratifying statement is made that
there is no off1cial disposition in Can
ada to protest about the presence of
training vessels for the naval militia on
the great lakes. despite the clamor OF
some Canadian jingoes. A protest would
be somewhat ridiculous, since none of
the training vessels could have reached
the great lakes without the permission
OF the Canadian government.

Sugar.
From the Chicago News.

FrOm the chicago news.
Not all the sweetness used by the sugar
trust was imported. 1t found a good
supply of the same in the New York
custom house and the home grown article
was quite as profitable as the foreign
brand. although no one knows just what
the trust had to pay for the New York
pickings. Were the sugar trust to be
made to answer for all its sins II would
have to keep a set of clerks busy writing
out checks with which to pay its fines.

The Passing Of the Ferry.

SENATE MAY ACT
ON PROHIBITION
indications Are That SubSti-

Prohibition will become a live subject

sideTation of the substitute for absolute
prohibition offered by majority of the
committee on manufactures and COM
merce. The indications are that if the
present bill comes to a vote the sena-
tors will be practically evenly divided. but
that the bill will be killed.
-Four OF the senators who voted against
prohibition have recommended the pas
sage of the substitute. Senator Miller.
who voted for prohibition, is opposed to
the substitute. If no other changes are
made in the vote on prohibition and that

If this vote can be maintained, the bill
will be killed. If any member shows

ably adopted. that viii bring others over
to the anti-prohibticn side, or rather the
anti-substituts side, and insure the death
of the measure.
The substitute bill has been criticised on
the ground that It is unconstitutional and
the suggestion has been made that the
four anti-Drohibition senators who are
supporting il are doing so because they
know it is unconstitutional and they want
it to go to the governor, who would he
forced to veto it because Of its unCO1-
stitutiOnality. This action would put the
senators all right with their constituents
and at the same time would not harm
the cause of the liquor men.

UTILITIES BILL
SEEMS DOOMED
Majority of Committee on
Railroads Will Report the
Measure Adversely.
SUBSTITUTE IS PROPOSED
MAKES PROVISION FOR iNVEsTI-
eating BODY.

a majority of the senate committee
on railroads viii today report unfavor-
ably the Badger bill to create a public
service commission. As a substitute.
the majority will report favorably bill
creating an investigation commission
with the right to inquire into tariffs
and schedules of public service COM
panies, this commission to report to the
next legislature. A minority of the COM
mittee will recommend the passage of
the original bill with some slight modi-
fication.
Those who have been urging the pas
sage of a railroad or a public service
commission bill are admitting that no
such legislation as is contemplated Will
pass the present legislature
The Badger bill provides for the crea-
ton Of Z commission with sweeping ju-
risdiction over all public service COM
panies and for the maintenance of rates
and tariffs not to exceed the maximum
amount fixed by the bill. One of the
principal objections to the public SER
vice commission by the majority of the
committee was that in the necessarily
brief time for the consideration of the
bill it was impossible to go into it thor
ousily, and no time at all for rate hear
ings, at which the entire matter could
be carefully threshed out by railroads
and shippers and other public service
companies and their patrons.
