I.X XVIII. Luo TIN THE sRUFFLE What, may we ask in passing, has broome of President Roosevelt's mighty crusade for reform of the tariff? Has it been lost in the shufMe of things about our national capital ? We trust these inquiries are not im- pertinent, for we are sure they ure de- c¢idedly pertinent to the appearance of a uessage which breaks the recor as to lenght and yet ia which there ap- pears not a single word bearing upon that question which but a few short }.. months ago was touted as paramount, The memories of the American people are not too short to recall the mighty fulmioations in favor of tarifl revision which came from the White House no longer ago than last spring. Congress must take up the tarifl ques tion—ymusT! Failure to do certainly precipitate an extra session of the new congress immediately upon the adjournment of the old, in March, Those close to the throne were per. mitted to disclose, through the admin- istration press, the exsct date of this extra session as determined by the President himself, It was to be the 10th of March —or was it the 15th ? One date or the other; a mutter few days is immaterial. Bare Lo come, however ; as certain as —well, death or taxes. For reasons sufficient unto thew: selves, but not hen understood by the public, those eminent republican seus tors aud representatives whose chiel concern is preservation of the Dingle wall at its present imposing height did not seem at all disturbed. Nothing was doue by congress; yet, so far w we have been able to discover, no sleej threat, either when March was the scheduled when the so would upon of a was lost over this exira session dale, or, Ister, date was moved foward, first to June snd the to October.
