makers have enlightened the subject,
those figures are as good as any.
N5w, these are very real and very
concrete questions. They are not ques-
tions which may be answered IN
speeches on the legislative floors They
are the questions which require the
research of the economist, the stat
istician. the close student. They are
in short, the questions which demand
the consideration of tariff commits
sion. That commission, TO be efficient
must have real powers; it must be
able to send for people and papers
books of accounts, etc; to administer
oaths to make its. proceedings dignifed
and signifca 1t. The language of the
Republican platform may fairly be
translated into a strong demand for a
tariff commission. There SHOULD never
be another revision in this country
without the illumination and intelligent
consideration which viii be impossible
till there is such a commission. And
that does not mean, either, the group
of clerks, sans power and sans standing
which is contemplated by the Senate
bill.

POSSIBILITY OF A WOMAN
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

Judged by her picture, the women
of Colorado may have a fne-looking
candidate for Congress. II an election
depended upon appearances alone, no
man would have a ghost of show for
the honor. Still, Colorado is a mans
country and. as the Stale has but three
Congressman, all told, it Is not likely
that it will feel disposed to run chances
on sending a woman there, even if the
Con tuition permitted 1t.
There are times when the prospect
of having a woman in Congress does
not brighten us a bit, and one of them
is when a tariff bin is being made up by
Senators and Congressman who don't
seem to care a tinker's dam for the
sentiment of the country. Woman
who knows far better than man what
an increase in the price of necessities
means, would manage to make her in
iuence felt, probably, when an attempt
was made 10 boost things While th5
big guns We're debating what would
happen TO the big interests. it Is likely
the feminine mind would be trying to
find out what was going to happen to
a half hundred folks or more who, tC

THE INVESTIGATION OF THE
SUTTON CASE.

Public interest in the Sutton inquiry,
now in progress at Annapolis, is chiefly
to have it demonstrated that the origi-
nal inquiry into the case was an honest
one, and that the report on it was
made in good faith
There are bad men in every military
organization, and they might conspire
to hide the facts of a case that would
bring trouble upon themselves and dis
grace upon the service. This is an evil
which no amount of discipline or care
can prevent. But the public's concern
is that there shall be no suspicion
that this course of procedure is winked
at by those higher up. In the inquiry
now going on there appears to be every
disposition to bring out the whole truth
1t was wise to reopen the case at the
instigation of the mother and sister
of young Sutton, and they should be
permitted to bring out any details
that viii throw light on the tragedy.

Nebraska Is
Settling With Trouble
Private information, by ways of let
tiers, and through Nebraska people who
come East. has been recently that the
State is fairly seething with trouble
about the tariff and other things. There
has been an increasing conviction in the
Washington delegation that II Senator
Burkett wins next year in the fight
for. the Senatorial nomination, It will
mean the organization around Burkett
of q powerful machine which vii under
take to manage things in future. This
machine, according TO reports which
are getting to be frankly accepted and
discussed as reliable among Nebraska
people in Washington, will aim 10 keep
AIr Burkett in the Senate. to make
William Hayward, of Nebraska city.
who is secretary OF the national com
mittee, the nominee for governor next
year, to turn out Representative Norris
and probably Representative Hinshaw
from their seats in the lower house next
] year, and to unseat Senator Brown al
| the expiration Of his present term and
send Victor RoSeN alter in his place
Whether there vii be OPPOSITION in his
own party to Senator Burkett's renom-
nation IS likely according to the COS
sip here, TO depend largely on three
men-RepresentatiVe Morris former
Governor Sheldon, and William E An
dTews, auditor of the treasury and 2
former member of the House from Ne
braska. II these three should get to-
gether and agree to toss coppers to de-
| eide which of them should make the
run against Burkett, with the active
support of the other two, they would
make real trouble. Messrs. Norris and
Andrews have had several conferences
of late, and it is known that Nebraska
politics CT this very sort was discussed.
but what they are doing is not known.
Senator Brown, though it is we'll known
that he realized the profound interest
which the present situation contains for
him, declines to discuss it for publica-
ton in any way. There is much In
/ quiry and gossip among Senators and
other people in Washington who are in
terested in the developments of the Ne
braska situation, as to where Mr.. Brown
will land; but he is keeping his own
/ counsel. Meanwhile nominal relations
J between the two Nebraska Senators
have much improved In the last few

/ ences have really been reconciled Is not
/ believed apparently by anybody.

BURKETT PROMISES
TO BECOME A POWER
Nebraskans Vote May Settle Tarf-EIis Reelection
Seems Sure, and Indications Are That He Is
Building Strong Organization

A Republican State convention will
meet az Lincoln. Neb. today. which
may prove Of large Importance in con-
nection with the final development Of
the tariff legisla ton. It is a gathering
of about 800 delegates, whose business
is merely the making Of platform on
which the party candidates will stand
in the State election this year. But
this year is preliminary to next year,
when Bryan is expected to run for the
Senate.
The reports latterly from Nebraska
have been most interesting. as they
have come in the correspondence of
officials and members o. Congress All
agree that in the last few weeks there
has been such a development OF inter
est i'm the tariff legislation as nobody
could have dreamed. a month ago. would
take place. There has been, for one
thing. a wide variety of comment on
the courses which Senators Brown and
Burkett have pursued, and some criti-
cisrn based on the belief that they have
voted at times with the Aldrich forces
when they ought to have stood with the
insurgents. This criticism has been IL
rected against Mr.. Burkett rather more
than against his colleague.
A carefully prepared poll Of the Sen
ate was shown today which came from
the office OF 9a Eastern Republican Sen
ator. showing that the adoption of a
conference report by the Senate was
likely TO depend on the votes Of three
Senators-Burkett. Brown, and Craw-
ford Of south Dakota. As those three
should 90, so would the result; if they
voted for the conference report it would
mass the Senate. IL against it, it would
be defeated

CITY WITHOUT
ELECTRICITY; A
BOY THE CAUSE
Darkness Reigns for an Hour, Trolley Cars Stalled
Theatre Audiences Dismissed-Bale Wire Thrown Over
Lines Responsible -Culprit Located by Detective,

A bale wire was thrown over the
transmission lines Of the Public Ser
vice Corporation at 4.32 o'clock yes
terday afternoon and caused the troll
ley cars to be stalled and the electric
light system of the city to be put out
OF commission for an hour. Detec-
tive L. A. Long this morning located
the boy who is held responsible for
the prank and he is expected to be
given hearing tonight.
The bale of wire caused both
transmission lines-power and light
Ito be burned on and they dropped
to the ground, causing short cir
cult. AS result the stores and resi-
dences whore electric light is used to
provide illumination were dark ex-
cept for candles, lamps and other de-
vices which were brought into use. In
places where there was gas the stu
alton was not so grave, but there
were many amusing features. The

housewives prepared their suppers
with difficulty in residences where
electricity is the sole source of light

ARREST MADE
FOR LETTERS

Rev. Columbino Galassi, pastor
of the Italian church in Barclay
street, about whom a libelous cir
cular letter was distributed in this
city Thursday, last night, under adj
vice of Russell Watson, of the coun-
ty prosecutors Office, swore out q
warrant for the arrest of Louis De
Stephano, charging him with having
circulated the letters and with Grim
inal libel. Father Galassi, who went
to the prosecutors Office at New
Brunswick yesterday relative to the
matter, declares that he has num-
Der of prominent witnesses who will
testify that De Stephano distributed
the letters. The priest says he was
advised by Mr.. Watson to have De
Stephano arrested and held for the
grand jury so that the prosecutor
can push the case.
The United States authorities wfll
probably be asked to take a hand,
as Father Galassi learned this morn
ing that one Of the letters was sent
to Bishop McFaul at Trenton, by
mall. The letter which the bishop
received he sent to the priest this
morning for his comment on the
matter. Father Galassi will go to
Trenton Tuesday to confer with the
bishop.
Recorder Pickersgill issued the
warrant for De Stephano. who is
the proprietor of fruit store at
Smith and State streets, last night.
and City Marshal Walters arrested
him about 1880 o'clock this after
noon

RED CROSS IDEA
BEARING FRUIT

The red cross stamps which were
placed on sale in this city Thursday
afternoon are selling rapidly and
nearly everyone seems to be taking
an interest in the cause. Remark
ing about the large number already
disposed of, DR.. William ID. Ramsay,
who together with Rev. James l..
Lancaster, composes the committee
in charge of the campaign in this
city, saidi
1T emphasizes the interest which
the public is beginning to take in
the work. The red stamp has a
double value; first, 1t is the source
OF revenue for the cause we are try
ing so hard to promote; second, a
person who has never seen one of
the little stamps before, when he
or she does get one, begins to ask
questions, hence the stamp itself
Is educational. When people realize
that approximately out of every 100
who die of all causes, ten die from
tuberculosis, and when we realize
that tuberculosis is comfortable
