"HoriionUl Bill."
The death of William R. Morrison
at the advanced age of 84 years is a
reminder of a busy public life, which,
howen-er, closed twelve years sgo,
since which time Colonel Morrison had
been In retirement. It Is mors espe
cially a reminder of the famous tariff
bill which he iponsored, making a
horizontal reduction in all the tariff
schedule, which esrned for him the
sobriquet of "HoriiontsI Bill."
The bill presented by Colonel Mor
rison ss chairman of the ways and
means committee, for the purpose of
vindicating the democratic position on
the tariff, was the most brilliant ex
ample of what a tariff bill ought, not
to be and produced the natural result
of extinguishing its author's con
gresslonsl career by defeat at the sub
sequent election in 1886. The "hor
isontsl bill" undertook a percentsge
reduction of every Item whether on
raw material or manufactured product,
whether representing large or small
Importations or whether the article
came Into competition with American
made products or not The only thing
like it ever proposed is that now cham
pioned by Mr. Bryan whereby he
wishes an annual reduction of a given
per cent until the tariff becomes a
uniform impost of 25 per cent ad
valorem.
While the "horizontal bill" marked
the political grave of Colonel Mor
rison, so far ss congressional activity
was concerned, it did not end his pub
lic csreer, because the lucky sdvent
of a democratic president transferred
him to the Interstate Commerce com
mission, where he served with ability
snd fidelity for ten years and earned
the period of rest that followed.
Votei for Women.
The American mind, unfamiliar
with the intricacies of English politics,
if it granted suffrage at all to women
would grant It under provisions Iden
tical with those required of male
voters. And the average American
has taken it for granted that the suf
fragette agitation which has so stirred
Great Britain was Intended to secure
the equal right of ballot to the gentler
sex at large rather than to a limited
class.
But all is not peace In the feminine
camp, for now comes Miss Mary Mac
Arthur of London, who assures Amer
ican women, and incidentally Ameri
can men. that the English suffrage
movement la a hollow sham. Miss
MacArthur represents tho organized
women workers of England, and she
says that according to the provisions
of the bill now before Parliament only
5 per cent of these 200,000 working
women would be enfranchised.
Miss MacArthur pleads that her
American sisters awake to the Injus
tice of this thing. She hopes to or
ganize a sisterhood here that will con
vey to the haughty suffragette leaders
abroad a good old-fashioned United
States protest. If the English suf
fragette Is an aristocrat seeking to
dominate those of her sex who have
to earn a living, the United States
tongue is the fit medium for Miss Mac
Arthur to use in giving expression to
her wrath. But she can hardly get
American women to fume over the
suffragette situation abroad. When
the American woman truly wants her
sex to vote she will ee that she does
it right here at home and then Invite
her British cousin to come over and
share the privilege.
Tie Campaign in New York.
When the New York republicans
flung forth their Bannard on the outer
wall the cry was, "Who will come
forth for Tammany?" Desperate in
the face of determined fusion for re
form, the organization besought Wil
liam J. Gaynor, who once refused
Croker's pleading to head the city
ticket. Ever since that refusal Gay
nor, now a justice of the supreme
court, has been fighting corruption in
politics. Tammany realized that the
reformers must be met with a man of
their own metal. Tammany's need is
not alone to elect a mayor, but also to
be successful with Its borough tickets.
Judge Gaynor was opposed by the
majority of district leaders aa repre
senting much thst Tammany doee not,
but Boss Murphy decided that other
names were hopeless and dictated his
nomination. Realizing the strength of
the splendidly organized anti-Tam
many combination, Murphy foresaw
that no one else would appeal to those
independent votera likely to be other
wise allured by the Impressive array
of leadera In the opposition camp as
would Gaynor. Judge Gaynor is re
puted to be of the Hughes type, but
Governor Hughes will support Ban
nard. who has also been endorsed
by President Taft. The democrats are
turning to the west for strong men to
help their candidate. Altogether, the
New York City campaign is bound to
arouse nstional interest.
Taxing: Great Eit&tei.
After having auccessfully attacked
the fortunes left by Field, Morris snd
Yerkes. Illinois now seeks sustenance
from the Harrlman estate. Through
lta attorney general It Is devising the
appraisement of all the Harrlman
holdings in Illinois, with a view to the
assessment of the state's 2 per cent
inheritance tax. Inasmuch aa this
rate Is higher than that in New York,
the executor doubtless will resist the
threatened suit.
The Harrlman case is likely to in
volve Illinois in the difficulty foreseen
by advocates of a national Inheritance
tax. Mr. Harrlman died a citizen of
New York and his estate is adminis
tered there. The effort at taxation in
Illinois instsntly stirs up a conflict of
Jurisdiction. If, a Illinois claims.
Harrlman'a holdings In Illinois Cen
tral, Chicago tt Alton and other Illinois
corporstions sre subject to the Illinois
Inheritance tax. snd It New York also
spplles Its tsx to these same holdings,
sn Issue of double taxation will be
precipitated which may involve both
states In prolonged litigation.
With Individual ststes Jointly striv
ing to spply their several taxes to the
estates of millionaires, in addition to
the constant enterprise of heirs seek
ing their apportionment of fortunes,
concentration of wealth becomes less
of a bugbear except to those In whose
hands it msy be concentrated. A
multiplication of inheritance taxes
would quickly work disintegration.
Get Together.
Although the chasm between the
street railway and Its former employes
has been widening rather than nar
rowing, there is still room to get to
gether. According to the spokesman of the
men the strike has Just begun, and ac
cording to the spokesman of the com
pany the strike is all over.
In one case or the other the advice
to get together is still good.
The strike may be won by the com
pany, but some victories are dearly
bought at any cost
What the people want Is immediate
restoration of satisfactory street car
service and a stoppage of the interrup
tion of business, and more particularly
its accomplishment in time to assure
success for Ak-Sar-Ben.
What the street railway company
wants is not only a corps of competent,
faithful and honest men to man their
cars, but also to regain the good will
of the entire community, and the good
will of the worklngman and wage
earner ia just as important to it as the
good will of the business man and the
millionaire.
The notion that the defeat of the
strikers will mean the deathknell of
unionism is most ridiculous and pre
posterous. Unionism will not fall with one
strike or with twenty strikes. The
unions have been beaten time and
again, but still survive.
In this case the atrlkers have long
since ceased to insist on recognition
as a union and any contract with it,
and the matters still in dispute are all
subjects that can be adjusted on the
give-and-take plan if the parties to the
strike will only try to get together on
some fair basis.
Both the strikers and the company
ought to have this much consideration
for the general public.
Get together.
It seems to us that the striking
street car men are making a mistake
with their parades. The parades do
no particular good and accomplish
nothing, but increase the danger points
for trouble and are calculated to incite
sympathizers to violence. The labor
parade Is all right In time of indus
trial peace, but not in time of Indus
trial warfare.

slain within the current year would taste
"strong" and obnoxiously assertive. Sim

attributes of the Ingenue.
NATIONAL. ECONOMY.
Will Coaareaa Co-Operate with the
President t
New York Tribune.
President Taft said confidently at Denver
that 140,000,000 to S50.000.000 would be saved
In federal expenses by the efforts of his
cabinet to economise. The president's in
sistence on rigid economy and the cordial
co-operation of the heads of departments
are well known, but it Is impossible to es
cape some doubt as to tha amount of help
which congress will be willing to give. It
is, of course, true that the more system
atic efforts of the executive branch to
curtail the steadily Increasing expenses of
the government originated with the housa,
and especially with Representative Tawney,
chairman of the committee on appropria
tions. It is also true that the senate has
Just created a new committee whose spe
cial duty it will be to curtail appropria
tions until they shall bear at least a rea
sonable proportion to the estimated rev
enue. Nevertheless, when In the past oppor
tunities have been presented for genuine
economic reform congress has too often
rejected them, the senate having been the
worae offender. The house, for Instance,
had more than once voted to abolish the
expensive and superfluous pension agencies,
but each time the senate has refused to ac
cept the reform because, Indeed, It would
cut off patronage regarded aa particularly
valuable in those states where agencies
are situated.
Again, several hundred thouand dollars
might be saved, with no loss of efficiency,
by combining the offices of register and
receiver of tho several land offices. No
material argument against this reform has
been presented, the only reason advanced
for rejecting It being that already civil
service reform has deprived members of
congress of sO much patronage that no
more can be rpared.
The combination of navy yards also offers
a fertile field for economy. There Is no
question In the minds of unprejudiced ob
servers that a large saving could be ef
fec.ed, without detriment to the navy, by
abolishing some of the less important yards
and increasing, if need be, the larger
plants.
Other ways might be cited In which con
gress should co-operate with the executive
In the promotion of economy; but will It?
This coming session will be the last before
the election of the next tlouse. Will the
members of the house, therefore, be willing
In any way to curtail that patronage which
they deem Important In carrying the elec
tions? And if the house, under Mr. Taw
liey's leadership, does evince a willingness
to act In the Interest of economy rather
than of ppoils, will the senate du Ita part?
Experience rather auggesta trie possibility
that, the executive branch having pointed
the way to saving ttf.OOO.OOO or 100,000.000 In
the budget, the legislative branch will act
as If it regarded the reduction in the es
timates ss just so much margin within
which It may Indulge In various extrava
gancea for Its own ends. If it does, the
president will be practically powerless, for
he possesses no power to veto individual
Item in an appropriation bill, but must
accept or reject each measure as an entirety
VVm. R. Morrison
Oareer of a Tariff Kafora Dem
ocrat Ooaaploaons la Party Oonn
ells Twenty and More Tears Ago
Ten years of retirement from public
activities all but quenched the light which
kept In view for almost forty years the
figure of William R. Morrison of Illinois,
whose death Is Just announced. From 1WI
to 1KB he waa an active force In state and
national politics, a soldier In the Mexican
and civil wars, and a democrat all the
while. Barely two weeks ago-Heptember
17 he passed his 84th birthday anniversary,
but the shadows of approaching end dark
ened the occasion. A native son of Illinois,
ss well as his father, he grew up with the
state, participated In Its various develop
ments, and loyally performed hla duties In
atate and national offices to which he was
elected. The family came of Irish stock,
originally settling In Pennsylvania before
the revolution, and moving to Illinois in
1792.
William R. Morrison passed his early
years on the homestead farm In Monroe
county. When the war with Mexico broke
out, that democratic war which added two
empires to our domain, Morrison, who had
not yet reached manhood, enlisted as a pri
vate, marched across the country after
Taylor, and was In the memorable battle
of Buena Vista. He served throughout the
Mexican war with credit and returned to
Illinois on tha proclamation of peace.
The spirit of adventure engendered by
the war had Its effect on young Morrison,
and he Joined the Argonauts of '49, In the
then great undertaking of a pannage across
the deserts and Sierras of the far west, to
seek his fortunes in the gold diggings of
California.
He was fairly successful as a miner, but
soon tired of a life of adventure and after
two years returned to his home In Illinois,
where his fellow-citizens soon afterwards
elected him clerk for the circuit court ot
Monroe, his native county.
Ha waa clerk of the circuit court of his
county when the Kansas-Nebraska bill was
passed by congress. The leading demo
cratic politicians of Illinois took issue with
Douglas, tha father of that measure, aban
doned the party, and denied the right of
home rule In the territories. But Morrison,
although he had never met Douglas, re
signed his clerkship, took the stump,
espousing the cause of Douglas and dem
ocracy, believing and declaring the right
and ability of the people of the territories
to take care of their own affairs and
govern themselves.
Prominence as a campaigner resulted in
his election to the legislature in 1804, and
re-election for two following sessions. As
soon as the news of the battle at Bull
Run reached southern Illinois It became
clear that there was to be a war In reality
and that men must take sides without fur
ther parley. It was no longer sentiment.
Many of the principal men in southern Illi
nois were of Virginian ancestry, and with
these Morrison's political and personal re
lations were always close. But sentiment,
even friendship, had to be abandoned. It
was a war for home and peace, and Mor
rison at once tendered his services to Gov
ernor fates ot Illinois. He was commis
sioned and under that authority and prin
cipally at his own expense, raised the
regiment afterwards known as the Forty
ninth Illinois volunteers.
The story of his desperate charges at
Donelson against a position Impregnable
with the insignificant force at hand, Is a
matter of history, as is Ms being left for
dead upon the field. His obituary appeared
In the dispatches of the day. The long,
dreary Journey of Mrs. Morrison to the
front, where she nursed him back to
strength sufficient to get him home, is a
touching part of the story.
While he was still on crutches came the
dreadful news of Shlloh, and, still on
crutches, he hurried to rejoin his com
rades in the weary investment and siege of
Corinth. While at the front and not yet
entirely recovered he received notice of
his nomination for congress, which came,
however, apparently handicapped with a
platform deprecating the civil contest, if
not advocating the abandonment of the
struggle.
Across tha drumhead at his tent he In
dorsed it thus: "Gentlemen, Interpreting
your platform to mean a vigorous proseou
tion of the war to final success, I accept."
He took no part In the- political cam
paign. He remained with his regiment
and discharged his military duties until
the news of his election to congress reached
hlra, when he resigned to take a place In
the council of the nation. On his resigna
tion General Grant indorsed, "He is one
of our best officers."
His first term In congress was without
much Incident. He supported the union
cause In congress, as he did on the field
of battle, earnestly, aggressively and intel
ligently.
in 1SB4 he was defeated for re-election,
and returned to the practice of law at
Waterloo and in 1866 he was again dereateo
for congress.
He was elected to the legislature of his
state in 1871. and of his services there,
throughout the long ten months' session on
tha revision of the state law and the giv
ing effect to the new constitution, a col
league, who had been associated with him,
Indulging in reminiscences In a public ad
dress eight or ten years ago. said:
"In that house, which contained many
distinguished and able men on both sides,
Mr. Morrison was the admitted chief."
In that year.. 1871, Chicago suffered one of
the most disastrous fires of modern times,
involving the destruction of miles of build
ings and aggregating nearly $300,000,000 loss.
Among other measures of relief for the
stricken city was that proposed at the
session of the legialatur specially called
for that purpose.
On this Colonel Morrison said: "If Chi
cago came here In Its strength I should
vote no. But coming in ashes. I vote aye."
To these simple, emphatic words citizens
of Chicago credit the success of the meas
ure giving them $3,000,000, and after
wards they presented to Colonel Morrison
a cane mounted with a bronxe head from
one of the melted chimes of the burnt
city, bearing that legend with the presenta
tion Inscription.
Colonel Morrison was an enthusiastic ad
mirer and devoted adherent of Samuel J.
Tllden. He put his whole heart Into the
TUden campaign of ISTS, and after the
election was a member of the committee
appointed by the democratic which went
to New Orleans to watch the counting of
the votes.
On 'the return of the committee, Roger
Q. Mills of Texas, then a young member
of the 1 house, w ho had aggressively op
posed the electoral commission and voted
against It all the time, greeted Morrison
with the wall: "Oreat heavens, Morrison,
If you had only been here the electoral
commission would never have been born."
The electoral commission was, to all in
tents and purposes, tha work of Samuel J.
Randall and Abram 8. Hewitt, and Mor
rison never had anything to do with its
formation, never approved of it and waa
scarcely disappointed at Its findings.

PERSONAL NOTES.
A New Orleans man laughed so heart

could get his face straight.
If there is anything in a name. Dr.
Cook should be pleased to know that he
has the significant Indorsement of Prof.
Frost of the Chicago university and Cap

The bankers do not agree with President
Taft In his advocacy of postal savings
banks, which they fear would invade the
territory In which their business and Its'
profits are gleaned. But this Is a selfish
consideration, which should have no weight
with congress.
Some of the bankers favor tho establish
ment of a great central bank rembllng
the Bank of England or the Bunk of
France. They are prompt to point to those
Institutions In illustration of the sdvan
tages of such a bank, but It may be
thought somewhat singular that when
drawing upon Europe for examples of a
wise banking policy, they fail to recog
nize that postal savings banks have lung
been established In the principal countries
of the old world. If the example of Kurope
is good enough to Justify the establishment
of a great central bank in the I'uited
Slates, why should not the Kuropean ex
ample be followed in respect of postal sav
ings banks?
There is one tiling sure about poKtal
savings banks, and that Is that in cae of
a panic they would not close their doors
and refuse to honor the checks of deposit
ors. They would never fail, and that, of
nil things, is what one should be able to
say of a aings bank.

OIL PAINTINGS
TO JO CHEAP
A. Hospe Co. Offers Superb $25
Grade Paintings, Already
Framed, at Only
$11.98 Each.
A New York art importer, sorely pressed
for money, found a haven of financial re
lief when the A. Hospe Co. of 1613
Iftmgla street offered ready cash for an
even duzen superb oil paintings, each a
gem from the brush of a Kuropean art
academician.
The A. Hospe Co. didn't pay the full
value for the paintings nothing ilka It
and this deal shapes Itself Into a rare op
portunity for twelve Omaha homes to
exhibit art in Its highest form, at a coat
almost ridiculous.
The paintings in question were deftly
executed by t.uch foreign artiste as
"Hull." "lunskl." and "flhublett," and
have been framed In superb massive gold
frames, wl lch alone would be considered
rare values at $15 each.
The frames have no searna In tha
corners this Itself Is an evidence of
quality, and each painting haa been
mounted lu a black glass covered shadow
box. -
The aubjei ts sre landscapes, soma Inter- I
spersed with figures, some truly 'rural '
and any one of them will loom up m"
iilflienily In ones parlor, no matter how
exquieltely appointed tha parlor might be.
The paintings, an even doien. are now
on exhibition at tl.e Hospe a I ore and ta
most conservative value that a connois
seur could put upon tliern would be $"'
each. Yet tliey are offered at $11.1
each and ill be disposed of quickly si
such a trifling figure. A. HO.iK CO.,
