Harmony In the House.
The first great caucus OF the
Democrats Of the new house and
conferences which have followed
1t prove that thus far there Is q
promise of continued harmony Of &C
ton among the 29O members of the
dominant party in the lower chamber.
In caucusing and In comforting things
seem to have gone on smoothly. and
the Democratic leaders prophesy that
the party In the house will be united
on all matters pertaining to legisla.
ton.
Representative Underwood OF Ala.
bama will still maintain ais place OF
leadership in the house and his posi-
lion as chairman Of the ways and
means committee. He has associated
with him on the committee Democrats
most OF whose names are known
pretty generally throughout the coun
Try. The minority members Of the
the Republicans and, pos
'ibly. Progressive member. will not
be named until after the extra SEES
sion begins.
1t has been said time and again
hat the tariff Is local issue, this
having been made originally
by Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock. Dem
)cratic candidate for the presidency
against James A. Garfield. When
General Hancock said: 1.-THE tariff
IS local issue" he was jeered at
all over the United States The
eering probably was the result OF a
Misunderstanding OF just what the old
soldier meant. Today Democrats Re-
oublicans, high tariff men and low tar
# men say that events have vindi.
'ated Hancock and that the tariff is
he most specific kind Of local Issue
All Sections Represented.
The ways and means committee
which will formulate the new tariff
bills of congress is divided In its Dem.
,cratic majority just about equal in a
'N'tIcilhi All DdltS vi tut
United States are represented on it,

llly all the localities, giving each one
/ wide territorial sweep. will be rep.
esented. Here Is the list OF the mem.
)ers of the majority of the ways and
means committee and the states from
which they come:
Oscar w. Underwood, Alabama.
Francis Burton Harrison,
New York; Dorsey w. Shackleford.
Claude Kitchin. North Caro-

II seems probable today that the mi.
lority of the committee. the Repub-
lean members, whoever they are to
De, with the possible addition OF a
Progressive or progressive Repub
lean, will not go to the trouble OF pre-
pairing minority report on the tar
