Tbe good editor of the Savannah
Pres# I. discussing the "vindication
of the 23,” which came with s ven
geance at the opening of congress,
whets the Democrats, who are In the
majority, voted against precisely
tbe same resolutions which Champ
Clark offered at the beginning of
the session of congress in 1302 and
which caused the split in the Demo
cratic . ranks at that time. The
resolution was offered at the open-
city ordinance la violated every hour 11' 1 !! °f the special session by the re
in tbe day and by men who"*ought |o|T»ubl.can leader, Mr. Mann, and every
Democrat voted against It. The Sa

trick. It also claims that tho fact

The Prose argues, too, with much
skill and ability that the rales have
been amended; that the reforms
which Mr. Clark wanted have been
brought about. Its Intimation h>
that the "23” have not been vlndi
cated; that they have been whipped
Into line and that the majority has
not gone over to their w#y of think
ing. If the Press will limber up its
memory .a little It will recall that
Mr. Clark’s resolution for amending
the rules was to go Into effect the
following December or after the tariff
bill had. been paesed. My. Fltzgcr-
aid, the leader of the dlseenters—or
deserters” If the Press and Tom
Watson prefers—offered a resolution
to change the rules- at once, shear
Cannon of hla power now—before
che republicans had a chance to fasten
another tariff bill upon the country.
Twenty three Democrats stood with
Fitsgerald and were denounced for
It. Did the majority—the triumph
ant Democracy—Ignore Fitegermld’s
resolution, tho resolution which
voiced the sentiments of the twenty
three? Not a bit of It.
The rules which were adopted at
the opening of tbe present congress,
the rules which havo trimmed, tho
speaker’s power and which havo
bro ght about the reforms which are
so ph asing to-Tho Press, incorpor
ated every one of the Fitzgerald
amendments. Th other words, when
the triumphant Democracy—
through Its representatives In con
gress—had a chance to vote upon
the Clark resolution changing the
miles, It voted against them. When
It had a chance to vote upon the
Fitsgerald amendment to tbe rules
It voted for them. The reforms In
the rules belong to Fitsgerald and
not to Clark. The party In con
gress stands with the "23 dtssertera"
and not with tha majority of two
years ago. Fitsgerald and. Brantley,
Griggs and Livingston and th# rest
of them were endorsed at the open
ing of the present cpngrees. Clark’s
position two years ago was not en
dorsed.
But the Press goes further. Com
menting upon the good that has been
accomplished It 'say#!
Did the criticism of the
Democratic vote of two years
ago do any good Assuredly.
It may not have defatted all of
the "dissenters,” but It he*
had the effect of making them
ftoe the ,mark since that time.
There has been no Democratic
deflection. On {he contrary, the
appeal to Democratic discipline
had the effect of rallying the
forces and of bringing about
tho great Democratic victory of
November, 1310. An appeal
was made to the party to stand
up to the rack on the question
of tariff reform, and In order to
bring about this tho house rules
wore amended to mako the leg
islature more liberal and more
(representative. The Demo
crats In tho house wore a weak
divided minority, some of them
enjoying the occasional favors
of a republican speaker. Now
they aro a powerful majority
with their own speaker andi
their own progressive rules,
and are enjoying the chsnce of
a century of electing a Presi
dent and of bringing relief to *
tho people.”
Wo admit that the party In con
gress Is strong and aggrcsslvo; that
tho members are standing to tho
rack on tariff reform, but we are
not going to let the statement go un
challenged that IUU Brantley or any
of those who stood .with him two
years ago have "turned coats.” If
thcro have been any changes thev
have been on the other side. Wo
And the Democratic leader, Mr. Un
derwood, standing with Brantley and

they buy Is In keeping with tho Spirit
of the contention of Congressman
Brantley, The Times and others
who hare become weary of seeing
everything manufactured in the
North supported by "protection,"
while nothing that the Southern
farmer produces receives such bene
fit
It Is pleasing to us to see all of
the factions marching under one
flag. It Is a sign of progress' In the
party that the majority is willing to
inarch under the flag of reason even
though It has to go over to the ml-
norlty to find It. When the ”23”

Aldrich and Hale, the salary which
they draw as members of the mon

MATTEItS IN CONGRESS
- Tbo special session of Congress In
fto second week has taken up its leg
islative work with great vigor and
the Democrats are encouraged to be
lieve that much work will be ac
complished during the legislative ses
sion. By a vote of 286 to .16 ths-blll
proposing a Constitutional amend
ment providing for tho- direct elec
tion of United States Senators...was
passed. Only one Democrat opposed
tbe measure. The other fifteen vot
ing against It were Republicans.
The Canadian reciprocity has also
been favorably reported. Mr. Under
wood, chairman of the ways and
means committee announced that tbe
free list tariff measure will be te-
noried'before the end of the week.
Among Important bills Introduced
was one to regulate the traffto. In
cold storage products, another to In-
create the prestige ot the American
merchant marine, a third to regulate
tho Issuance of Injunctions and an
other to change the date of the In
auguration of tho President tO£_tho
last Thursday In April. .Thi^^m

rocity measure will hare passed-the

The Democratic leaders have fully
decided to go Into the agricultural
Schedule and make Important
changes whloh they demanded during
the tariff discussion. of last year.
Other schedules not Included In the
general legislative program It Is ex-
period will be brought before the
House probably during this month
The success of the House In passing
the htU providing, for the popular
election ot Senators has had an ex
hilarating Influence on the minds ot
the majority leaders, and they are
hopeful that much Important legisla
tion may be enacted.
Up to the present time the Demo
cratic ways and means committee of
tbe House had not contemplated
moch more than s revision of the wool
and cotton schedules, but owing to
their success this week, they realize
that they have time for additional
tarrlff revision. Mr, Underwood,
chairman of the committee. Is of the
opinion that th# session will be com
pleted earlier than has been antici
pated. It la expected that the ways
and means committee will take up
the woolen schedule of the tariff bill
without waiting for the report of the
tariff board. Inasmuch sa It 1#’ under
stood that this board will not be ahl#
to furnish Information concerning
the woolen schedule daring the pres
ent session.
The possible revision of this sched
ule esme ap In the Senate on Thurs
day .when Senator Warren, whom
the late Senator Doltlyer character
ised as the "greatest shepherd since
Abraham,” offered a number of pro-
tests and memorials deprecating re
vision of th* wool schedule. The
Wyomnig Senator represents a wool-
trowing state, but he said that these
memorials do not protest against ul
timate revision, but simply prayed
Congress to defer action until prop?
cr information could be received as
a basis for scientific revision.
Senator Cummins has opened a
long expected attack on the some
what dilatory national monetary
commission, that refuge of "lame
ducks;” as It has been called. The
Iowa Senator Introduced a Mil re
quiring this commission to prevent
Its final report os the beginning ot
the next session In December, ' and

WHAT GOOD MUSIC COSTS.

tiielteltare lwhlf# 1 ^kjnowlng that tho
opera Is expensive, la apt to consider
that everything which is not opera-
orchestral music, for Instance—-can
bo “produced” at a very small ex
pense.
Do you know, that tho yearly
salary list of an orchestra such as
Walter Damrosch is bringing to our
city, amounts to about 3100,000 a
year. Salaries are not tbe only
Item however which havo to be

Another large item la the pur
chase of music. Orchestral scores
are. very expensive and some selec

much da 3100 apiece. And when
we think that Walter Dam roach has
