SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Carries Appropriation for the New
Tariff Board

The sundry civil bill will carry an
item of tariff interest in which the
President is concerned. That will ha
an appropriation of approxi--1ately
$250.000 for the work of t.; Tariff
Board. Now that the gatEso ing of in
formation about Determinations by for
eign countries against oU- products has
been completed the President wants the
Tariff Board to make an expert analy-
sis of the tariff law. He advocated this
anew on his recent weeks journey. He
is very insistent upon obtaining some
reliable information about the cost OF
production here and abroad. He wants
a glossary of the tariff compiled, show
ing the meaning of the various terms
employed in the levying of customs du-
ties. During consideration of the tariff
last Summer it became apparent that
many of the paragraphs were as mean
ingless to the average citizen as a page
of Xenophon.
A few of the insurgent Senators, like
Beveridge, of Indiana, would like to
have the authority of the Tariff Board
enlarged. They would develop It into
a veritable Tariff Commission. The
President has shown very little interest
in that but has been concentrating his
efforts upon obtaining a generous ap-
preparation for the present Board. The
Republican Senators who fought the
Payne- Aldrich tariff law will probably
make the appropriation item the occa-
sion for some aggressive tariff speeches
and for advocating an early revision.
These speeches will be only for cam
paign purposes. 1t is recognized that
the Republican party will not counte-
nance another revision of the tariff for
while. On his recent tour the Pres
ident reiterated his statements that the
present tariff law was good one. He
proposes that the party shall so into
the Congressional campaign on that
statement and stand pat on the propo-
sition. He refuses 20 be stampeded by
the outcry in some quarters, especially
from the Middle West, against the
tariff law and believes that the party
will come out of the campaign better
by standing firmly for what it has done
in tariff legislation.

an advance of our massed left upon
the shattered battaiions of Longstreet.
Had such an advance been made, had
such man as Hancock or SickIes been
present to lead it. our army would have
swept around Lees right flank. and his
destruction could not have been pre-
vented. Gen. Meade had some concep-
ton of this, and ordered such an ad-
vance, but unfortunately it was left to
a corps commander, who, whatever
good qualities he might have had, was
not distinguished for enterprise and
initiative effort.
Gen. Sickles and his friends may well
accept Gettysburg as the crown of his
military career and lasting nonu-
ment to his fame. He rendered
services there, as he had before,
which under the great Napoleon would
have made him a Field Marshal and a
Duke of the Empire. and brought him
enormous wealth from the National
Treasury. In the great battle which
was the turning point of the war it was
Gen. Sickles who OWNED the supreme
situation involved, who took prompt
advantage of it in most military way
and whose action was approved beyond
all question by the battle being fought
out there to the ruin of the Confederate
army and the success of that of the
Union. 1t will be only a just recogni-
ton of this to allow the splendid vet.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE BREWER.

Justice David J. Brewer, Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, is dead.
He was stricken with apoplexy just
as he was about to retire for the night.
He had gone to the bath room, and
when he did not leave it in reasonable
time Mrs. Brewer went to the lava
tory. where she found the body of her
husband PROSTATE and life practically
extinct Justice Brewer had not been

He spent Easter with his family, and in
the afternoon preceding his death at
1895 o'clock p. M, he walked over to
see his physician. Death was due to
apoplexy and was almost instantaneous.

Several comrades of the old Army of
the Cumberland have mentioned to us
in connection with the Lee statue in
the Capitol how promptly the Confed-
crates, when they returned to power in
Tennessee, removed the picture of Gen.
George H. Thomas from the State
House. This was an exhibition of feel
nection with the protest to remove the
statue of Lee from the United States
Capitol. Tennessee legislators were
very hot in regard to the "distasteful
ness" of the picture of the grand old
"Rock of Chickamauga" to the men
who had recently been in arms agains.
the cause which he represented. II this
were so, what about the feelings of the
men who fought Lees army for four
years when they see the chief military
man of the Southern Confederacy,
clothed in the hated uniform of their
enemies, staring defiantly at them every
time they visit the Capitol which cost
them SO much to save from him. When
the Confederates were allowed political
power and came back into control OF
the great State of Tennessee they pro-
fessed loyalty, and if their professions
had been sincere they should have held
Gen. George II. Thomas in the same
honor as they did any General of their
former Confederacy. Instead of this
they made quick work of removing this
"distasteful' picture from where it
would confront their eyes This case
seems to us to form a good precedent
for the removal from the Capitol of the
Nation of the objectionable statue OF
Lee, who tried so hard to destroy the
Union.

RAILROAD RATES TO ATLANTIC
CITY

Ihere Is high degree of very justi-
fable bitterness among the comrades
against the railroads for their attitude
On Encampment rates. Probably as
good an illustration of this as can be
made is to take the case of western
leading out of Pittsburg have been rum
ming excursions to Atlantic City, with
tickets at $40, good for 16 davs. The
roads will continue this practice during
the present season. Yet they have re-
fused to make the rate from Pittsbure
to Atlantic City less than one fare and
one-half, or $3.50. The Posts in west
ern Pennsylvania are adopting positive
resolutions, in which they state they
will not attend the Encampment unless
they are treated more fairly. This is a
very serious matter for the roads for
cate the people of that section they will
only have scores of attendants where
they otherwise would have hundreds.
We published letter recently from Abe
Patterson Post, So, of Pittsburg in
which it was pointed out that at every
National Encampment Abe Patterson
Post has been conspicuoUsly present,
bringing delegation and visitors which
at several Encampments has numbered
from 900 to 400. Unless the rates are
greatly modified in the direction of fair
ness and the veterans given as good
terms AT act tyiy tn >,
excursionists, Abe Patterson Post will
simply refuse to go. This action has
been followed, or will be- by the great
majority of the Posts in the western
end of the State.
1t is incomprehensible that the rail-
roads should so stand in their own light
as they have done in this matter of
rates to the National Encampment The
only explanation consistent with the
well-known ability of railroad managers
is that all of the roads have agreed to
administer the railroad regulation law
as to arouse public indignation against
it and cause its repeal. If this be so,
the railroads are making a campaign
as foolish and short-sighted as it is ex-
pensive. Railroad regulation has come
to stay. 1t is one of the inevitable
thing in our legislation, and the
railroad men had been wise in their day
and generation they would have accept
ed this as inevitable and assisted the
Government in making regulations
which would be just to themselves and
fair to the public. The danger is that
their present course will so irritate the
public that drastic and injurious legis-
lation will result, which will be injurious
not only to the railroads, but inciden-
tally to the travelling public. Command
er-in-Chief Van SAINT and other influen-
tial members of the Grand Army of the
Republic have labored hard to bring
the railroads to proper sense, but we
regret to say with the ill-success that
we now complain of. 1t may be that
the vigorous protests of such Posts as
Abe Patterson, So, and great num-
ber of these will awaken the railroad
managers to a sense of what is impend-
ing, and they will concede to us the
fairness and justice that are our rights
Their action is simply intolerabIe, and
cannot help having very injurious re-
suits to their interests.

counting too strongly on eWresting con- trol of parliament from the Liberals is indicated in the increasing criticisms of the Conservative leader, Arthur Bal four, the former premier. In the event of a decisive Liberal victory, it is cer- tain that the Conservatives will place the responsibility on Balfour.
 The worst accusation made against Balfour is that he has sacrificed vigor for dignity Balfour favors protec- tion, but refuses to say that prOtec- tion will end the unemployment prob lem; he urges big navy as a defense against German aggression but refuses to say that he believes Germany is preparing for a war against England; he deprecates the Liberals attacks on the Peers and confesses that the House of Lords needs formation. ],
 At Glasgow last night Balfour act ually shocked his big audience by re- fusing to predict the result of the ehc- ton.
 Such moderation as this, the Conser- vative leaders declare, will not win many votes and is largely responsible for the failure to make the expected Conservative gains this week. The lieutenants in the Conservative ranks think that Balfour ought either to adopt more aggressive tactics, profess complete confidence and show the party's slogans, or yield the leader ship But Balfour so far however, has shown no inclination to do either. Since Monday the Liberals have been constantly raising their claims, which has had disquieting effect among the Conservatives
