Legislation hY Committee nnIr.

John Sharp Williams threw a vivid glare
upon legislative methods IN House and
Senate when he declared on Friday that
there was a growing habit OF holding bills
specially the great appropriation bills
as long as possible in committee and Civ
ing as little time as possible 70 their con
sideration in open legislative session. This
observation was evoked by the discussion
Of a rule providing that the rules may be
suspended by a majority Of the House
az any time during the remainder OF the
session. BY means OF this legislative trick
it viii be possible to rush the appuopria-
ton bills and other important measures
which the leaders are determined on pass
ing through without amendment and with
the minimum Of debate. To this strait is
a great deliberative body brought by the
manaciing Of its own privileges. that its
most important business is transacted in
the secrecy Of committee rooms. aHd the
House itself is become a mere recorder Of
decisions reached elsewhere than on the
floor, and By methods other than those Of
untrammeled public deliberation.
The excuse is made that appropriation
bills are 50 far behind that something has
10 be done TO expedite business. But this
excuse is, as Mr.. Williams fatty charges.
a confession Of the incapacity Of the
House leaders to transact the public busi-
ness within the limits Of the short ses-
sion. Moreover. it fails 10 convince, for
the reason that there viii be an extra
session OF Congress within two weeks
after adjournment and nothing whatever
would be lost, so far as public interests
are concerned, if some OF the appropria-
ton bills should go over The truth is
that the exhibition now going on OF
5amming through important appropriation
bills at the close OF the session is simply
an exhibition Of the legislative depths TO
which both Houses have fallen because
Of the. concentration OF legislative power
in few persons. The country Is famil-
lar with the immense authority Of the
speaker and his Beuteuants over the con
duet Of affairs in the House. it viii soon

bEy boots and shoes. We have made il
harder This hardship Genes largely from
the tariff lad on hides in 1877 By the
Dingley bill. And why a tariff on hides?
Simply to compel the American shoe
maker 20 pay more for his leather. For
twenty-five years hides had been free
and cheap. for South America sent Us
large quantities. The shoe dealers were
taking al both markets offered. But the
cattle growers OF the West raised a CRY
that they should have more money for
their hides. that Congress should pass a
law which would compel the people TO
give It 70 them.
The duty was not granted in Isea. but
In 1897 IL was given. The Eastern pro
tec,fonists granted It because they there
by could keep votes for thelr own pet
articles. The duty on hides IS simply
