Pearl Buttons Here Again.

Our old friend Pearl Buttons is oc- cupylng. or is about to occupy the at tentien of the ways and means com mittee If the house of representatives. Pearl Buttons k not. az one possibly might think. an appealing human creature with slight roseate flush. Pearl buttons are commodity of trade and the ways and means com mlttee is going Into the industry In order to revise the tariff, touching merchandise articles. Pearl but tons have figured In every tariff re vision since revision was heard of.
 There was long discussion among Republican leaders concerning the na- ture of the tariff legislation which the majority in congress should attempt 10 undertake. The first suggestion was that complete tariff bill should be written, even though the chance that after its enactment 1t would be sign States was remote.
 Some of the Republican leaders urged Il complete tariff bill in order to put the party on record and to let the country know just what it Is in- tended to do If the Republican party shall come into complete control of the government on March 4. 1921. Other leaders suggested that only a partial revision of the tariff should be attempted. This counsel was fol lowed with the result that the ways and means committee of the house now Is holding hearings on revision of some of the present tariff raies. It Is expected by the majority that the pres ident will sign the bill, because the intention IS to confine the revisions to such conditions as have appealed for remedy to both political parties.
