R TARIFF “BILLS Issues Which Have Brought About Political Defeat, 3 HOW THE MEASURES WERE PASSED The Story of Four in a Period of Ten Years. LEADERS IN THE FRAY The sea of oratory in the House Is stilled. The sharp raps of the gavel by James S. Sherman in committee of the whole on the state of the Union still echo in the south wing of the Capitol; but the waves of de- bate cre no longer white-capped with elo- quence, and the roaring of the surf of r crimination has ceased. “Even the froth along the shore has evaporated. The tariff Lill has been sent to the Senate, and the House, with folded arms, basks upon the broad bosom of Speaker Reed, placidly awaiting its action. These tariff tempests are periodical. In ten years’ service I have been caught in four of them. As compared with its pre- decessors, the Dingley storm was mild in- deed. The sky looked blacker than ever, and there was much wind, but the storm itself was by no means as severe as those that preceded it. To be sure, the waves banked high, and the surf was rampant, noisy and frothy, but beyond this and the lumber and woolen schedules there was very little to attract public attention. Hew vivid are the scenes attendant upon the Miils bill years ago! It was a storm created by a Pr dent elected by dumov- crats, who desired an issue in seeking a sccond term. He got the ‘ssue and lost the election. Tae gladiators in the House then were Roger Q. Mills, pitted against Wm. McKinley, and Judge Turner of Geor- gia as antagonist of Thomas R. Reed. General debate lasted twenty-three day: including eight evening sessions, The read- ing of the bill by paragraphs for amend- ments consumed twenty-eight days tore. It was a fruitless discussion. The Senate was republican. There was no chance whatev for the passage of the Dill in both houses of Congress. A political issue Was sought, and the bill was framed to meet it. It was framed, however, in ac- cordance with the wishes of the majority of the House. For several nights demo- cratic caucuses were held. Into the Waste Basket. In these caucuses each Congressman made an appeal to his fellows for protec- tion to the industries of his own district. If the caucus granted what he wanted, the amendment was incorporated in the bill, and that ended it. When the bill went to the Senate, however, that body, as was expected, threw it into its waste basket, and sent back a clean-cut republican meas- ure. This went to the ways. and means committee, and no further action was taken. The tssue scught was found and the democratic party was defeated. Then came a second tariff storm. The succeeding Congress was republican in both branches. A republican President had supplanted Grover Cleveland. The intro- duction of the McKinley bill promptly fol- lowed. The ways and means committee, with William McKinley as chairman, gave hearings for weeks to all who desired them. The bill was not framed after the manner of the Mills bill. There was no republi- can caucus to which disgruntled members could appeal. General discussion in the House was iim- ited to four days and three nights. There was a-great forensic contest, in which Mc- Kinley, Carlisle, Reed, Mill8, Burrows and Crisp participated. The reading of the bill for aniendment occupied nearly eight days. Tt was the first bill that was passid under a special order from the committer. on rules. ‘The vote was takes at the epecitied hour. The spectal order was so imperati that {¢ shut out over 24 amendments au thorized by the ways and means commit- tee. The Senate afterward incotporated many of these amendments tn the bill, and it became.a law. The biil afterward be- cxme a political issue, and the republican party met its defeat on the issue. Four years elapsed, and Grover Cleve- lard was again President of the United States. His election broughi before ihe House a new tariff bill, known as the Wil- sen bill. It did not embody the recom- mendations made by the national demo- cratic convention. Surrounded With Mystery. It was woven deftly and with few he ings. No bill was ever surrounded wita more mystery. No caucuses were held, and the advice of democratic members as to the industrial interests in their districts was neither sought nor desired. No one aside from the ways and means committee was allowed to offer an amendment while the bill was before the House. Like its predecessor, the McKinley bill, tt came be- fore the House under a special order from the committee on rules. General debate Emited to three days, including night Its consideration by paragraphs twenty days. The closing scenes were dramatic and memorable. Reed and Wilson wound up the debate in speech remarkable tcr power and intensity. Sev- enteen democrais in the House voted against the measure, some because an in- come tax was saddled upon it and othe because they had nad no opportunity to offer amendments. The Senate remodeled the bill until it was utterly m‘sshapen. Whes it was returned to the House it was barely recognizable. The House took it as it was. blunders and all, because the appointmert of a confereace committee would ave certainiy resulted in failure to pass any bill whatever. Like the McKinley bill, the Wilsoa bill became a political issue. It was not a bill for revenue only, and it did not provide sufficient revenue to run the aégcrument It led the democratic party anew to de- feat. The peopie expressed their opinion concerning it when they elected William McKinley, the author of the bill passed four years before, to the presidency. With his inauguration and an extra session the Dingley bill has gestated in the House and has been sent to the Senate. It, like the McKinley and the Wilson bills, came before the House under a special order from the committee on rules, Limited hearings were given, but no cau- cuses were held. No amendments, aside from those offered by Mr. Dingley’s com- mittee, were considered. General debate was limited to four days, with evening sessions. Five days were allowed for the consideration ef the bill by paragraphs. It was business. The Dingley Bill. “What we want, Mr. Speaker, and what the country wants, is results, not speech- es,” shouted Major McKinley in the Fifty- first Congress on April 30, 1300. “We mean business.” These were words that might have been aptly uttered at the beginning of the general debate on the Dingley till. But there were speeches, and good ones. Many were made by new members, of whom there are 131 in the House. To be sure, there were no such dramatic speech- es as were made by Mills, McKinley and Wilson when their tariff bills were under discussion, but the rejoinders were fully as | hot and scorching. The galleries were crowded, and much public interest was manifested. It was a battle worth seeing and hearing. Thirty new members partici- pated in the general debate. Seventeen of them were democrats, seven republicans, three populists and three fu- sionists. Governor Dingley’s opening and closing was cool, impassionate and argu- mentative. The republicans hung upon his utterances as if spell bound. Benton Mc- Millin of Tennessee was the real leader on the democratic side. He met General Gros- venor of Ohio in the thickest of the fight aLd found a foeman more than worthy of his steel. Grosvenor was at his best. His utterances were.#o keen, sharp and decisive that the House roared with laughter. In the thickest of the battle Champ Clark of Missouri poised his free trade lance. He made a speech so quaint and effective that even the sepenionns joined in applauding, and asked it extra time be given to him. Another brilliant h was made by- Jahn §. Williams of Mississippi. It was based upon the assertion that what the country needed was more money and not a new tariff. The Real Leaders. The real fighters on the republican side, crats alike. however, were Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Doliiver of Iowa, Evang of Kentucky, Rus- sell of Connecticut apdygereno Payne of New York, all members,of the ways and meafis committee. rs. speech was simply~ magnificent... In, fgct.. he surpassed himself. It was winged .with eloquence and sarcasm, and deliyppedwith a fervor tha@ stirred the House; tp its very center. McMiilin of ‘Tennessee! McLaurin of South $229. Swanson of "Virginia and Gen. Joe Wheeler of Alabaimabwere the light ar- tillery on the democratic side. Poetry was brought into play. McRae of Arkansas was. the first to make g poetica? quotation. It was— “The sced ye sow diidther reaps; The wealth ye find 4ndther keeps.” The only other speaXérs who’ ised poct- ical quotations were of Alabama, Gen. “Grosvenor and Williams of Mississip- pi. Williams’ couplet was the old and fa- miliar: : “But of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these, ‘It might have -been.’” The leader of the populists, Mr. Bel of Colorado, made a fing ‘speech, scattering his Sarcasm upon republicans and demo- As clever“a’ discourse as was made on the democratic side of the House was made by Mr. DeArmond of Missouri. Many of the old warriors of the House stood on one side and eyed the efforts of the «new members with critical interest. Among these were Judge Holman of In- diana, Gen. David B. Henderson of Iowa, Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, Richard P. Bland of Missouri and-James D. Richard- son of Tennessee. There was one 91d brass mounted cannon, the roaring of which made even Judge Hol- man~smile. It-was-served by Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania, one2 Speaker, and a mémber cf the House:nearly fifty years ago. Altogether it-was a lively and inter- esting fight, though hardly equaling in in- terest the battles over the Mills, McKinley and Wilson bills. Speculation is now rife as to what will happen in the Senate. The prospect is that the bill will be passed within three months. It will certainly not have plain sailing theré. The ‘veteran: Stewart is up in arms against it, and if reinforced, may drag out the debate to an interminable length. The speeches of the democrats in the House were evidently inspired~by: the experience of the past. All p-evious tariff bills became political issues, anttléd to” great political changes. They regard the Dingley bill as the groundwork for a new political cam- paigh.

Sante tae WOW NY 3 w < mined to make LAW SCHOOL DEBATE Between Teams From the University of New York and Georgetown. ee 10 BE HELD NEXT MONDAY EVENING | Will Argue the Advisability of Rec- ognizing Cuba. THE MEN WHO TAKE PART Sia Invitations have been issued by the law schools of the University of New York and Georgetown University .for a public debate to take place between representa- tives of the two schcols next Monday even- ing, April 19. Gonzaga College Hall is to be the scene of the contest. The president of the debating society, Mr. Eugene A. Legan of Missouri, is to preside. The diffi- culty im chvosing suitable judges arises somewhat from the fact that many avall- able gentlemen have expressed an chinion in public places one way or the other upon the question for debate, which is as fol- lows: “Resolved, That the United States Recognize Cuban Belligerency.”” The New Yorkers have the affirmative of the ques- licn and the local men the negative, but in neither case is there any decided ad- Ventage on the score of the subject. Apart from its public significance the question J. Neal Power, Georgetown. be viewed from the aspect of international law, so that it is expected that the choice of the committee on debate will e a particularly good one. The debate will begin at S$ o'clock and during the intermission music is to be furnished by a section of the Marine Band. Reserved seats have been issued to the members of the faculty of both universities, and to the students, but after 8 o'clock the doors will be thrown open admitting the general public. The gentlemen holding the afiirm- ative and representing the University of New York are Messrs. John Jcseph O’Con- nell, Nathan David Stern, and John Al- bert Zimmerman, all of New York, and on the part of Georgetown, Messrs. James A. Ryan of Nashvilie, Teun.; Charles Edward Reach cf .Larimore, N. D.; and J. Neal Power of San Francisco, fal. Mr. O'Con- nell will open and close for the affirmative, and Ryan for the negative, the others fol- lowing in the order named. Both sets of debaters have collaborated their speeches. so that it is expected no two men on either side will travel over the same ground. Mr. Janies A. Ryan, who is a member of the post graduate class, was born in Nash- ville, Tenn., April 4, 1 He received an academic education in the public schools of Nashville and afterwards at a military college. In 1893 he received a position at the Capitol, and soon afterward became secretary to Senator James A. Bate of Tennessee. The reorganization of the Sen- ate by the republicans threw Mr. Ryan lathew David Stern, New York. back into his former position, but in spite of changes and being employed all day he is the possessor of a good store of legal knowledge acquired through three years at Georgetown, and a special course at the University of Virginia Law School. Mr. Ryan attracted attention to his abilities while acting as president of the debating society last year, and as a it was the first one elected for the debate. Senator William E.

The Tiger's Only Alm Seemed to Be to Jump Out of the Rench of the Hog. From the St. Louls Post-Dispatch. A gentleman recently traveling in India describes a fight he witnessed while there between a wild) boar and a savage tiger. The fight was pulled off in a pit ten yards in diameter, with a san@ed floor and six- teen-foot walls, Several trap doors served as entrances through which to introduce the animals. A trait of grain through one of these doors served to decoy a two-year- old boar into the arena. A tiger, nearly full grown, that for a year had lived an incffensive existence in a cage, was forced dcwn a plane from another door, and the two beasts were together. The tiger wanted to get away. His head hung down like a whipped dog’s, and his tail drooped. The fight was apparently go- ing to be a fizzle, when the natives began to throw things at the tiger. Then the beast began to growl. Suddenly the boar dived at him. The tiger leaped into the air and the boar rushed underneath and went half a dozen feet beyond. It puzzled the bear immediately to have the tiger get away from him in that way, and he turned and made for his antagonist again. Three times the tiger leaped above the boar, but the fourth time the boar threw up his head and the tiger got a rip with the tusks that drew blood. Then the cat turned on the pig, grabbed him by the nape of the neck and shook him as a schoolmaster shakes a small boy. This done, the tiger dropped the boar and walked away.
