At the risk of being unjustly classified with those who scoff at the merits of the draft of «| tariff bill which has been prepared and made | public by the Tariff Reform Committee of the | Reform Clab Tae Stam cannot refrain from intimating that several people will be very | much surprised if the suggestions made by the seven experts who compose the committee are received im a proper spirit by either the execu- tive or legislative branches of the government. | ‘That many of these suggestions will be incor- porated in s tariff law is certain but that their adoption by the House and Senate will be in| to step in, for Hawaii cannot be left to become due to the Reform Club agitation is quite improbable, and this advance reasoning is strengthened materially by the statement given out yesterday by Mr. John DeWitt War- ner, one of the most active members of that organization which has declared its intention to, compel the administration to fulfil every prom- ise made on the stump Inst fall. Mr. Warner | is of the opinion that there never will be| a Ways and Means Committee so hard up| for a reputation as to tcy to secure one by dis- | carding anything that any one else haa pro- | posed. Perhaps not, but the ways and means committee of the Fifty-third Congress will be a strange aggregation and much unlike any of its, predecessors if it does not silently resent what a few democratic critics have termed the Re-| form Clab’s pernicious activity. But aside from considerations of this nature there is some- thing humorous in the situation, developed by Mr. Warner's prevanciamento, in which he re- marks in an undenivhly grandios fashion, that: “We have assumed hat the opinion of the Seeretary of the ‘Treasury should be largely deferred to in a matter so vitally | affecting his special charge, and shonid have deen glad—as we assume Congress will be—to have his ful! suggestion, and believe thot the | great responsibility of the President entitles his opinion also to great weight. Indeed, I re- regret fhat we could not bavebad their defini counsel before making public our preliminary draft, which, I believe, owes not a single idea o the suggestion of either, and ' have no doubt but that their opinion, whether in approval or criticism of the details proposed, will be con- | sidered in all regards as important and many | as decisive by the democratic majority in Congress as weil as by the people at large. Following these regretful utterances is an announcement to the effect that the bill is not presented to the President or to Secretary Car- lisle or to Congress so much as it isto the American people. “It is their opinion we want,” says Mr. Warner, “their approval or | criticism we desire.” In other words the Re- form Club wants to pass a bill during the com- ing summer and ther when the House and Sen- | ate are once more in legislative session it will | say to the ways and means and the finance com- mittees: “We have done your work. We are the people. Here is our bill Pass it just as it is or become the victims of our displeasure.” | The three tailors of Tooley street have been succeeded by the Reform Club. ——_ wee From several widely separated sections of this country have come inquiries as to why some of the principal features of the world’ fair should not remain permanently on exhi bition It may be a little early to discuss what ought to be done with exhibits that have not yet been publicly displayed, but there is no reason why Tux Sram should net once more suggest that a permanent exposition must sooner or Inter be built upon the broad and deep foundations afforded by the National | Museum. Already has the Spanish government | declared its intention to present to the United States the reproduction of Columbus’ flag- ship, the Santa Maria, and this gift will, it bas been annozncel, be brought to | Washington at the close of the exposition period. Thousands of other exhibits, many | of great vaine, might also be donated by gov- ernments and individuals were it understood that the presents would be euitably eared for. ! From an unpromising beginning the \ Museum has grown to great proportions, bat it is, even now, very much less than itreally needs | tobe. With asuficiency of suitable space— sheltered in a lasting structure modeled after the Art building at Chicago—the National Museum would soon be worthy the nation whose forward movement is so clearly shown therein. —— No rational and civilized being will serious! argue against the propo-ition that no entertain | ment isso cheap as reading nor any pleasure | so lasting.

Itcan safely be stated that Editor Shepard's peculiarities tended only toward moral reform, and, although his logic was often as faulty as his ‘methods were odd, his memory will be respected by a great many | of America’s best citizens. +02 —__ Delaware has re-enacted a law which pro- hibits people who do not pay their taxes from voting. The complaint that it is designed to isfranchise colored people is scarcely a reason- able one. ‘There seems small injustice in de- priving from a voice in the government a man who enjoys its protection and declines to pay his share toward its support.
