The Hepuolicans wUa rn prof! t by such a con dition and they .did not. fail' o do so in the last, election. Why did over: 150 of Athe Democratic voters stay a ay rom theMdis? The Kepunli anJiosses can answer this question no doubt, and can! answer also why many Dem! Ocrat "changed their vote. The many schemes and acts f the HepuMicanaare known. These Itosses will And it a ler victory and will not re main with them, but wiU rise np against them inthefutnre and trouble them, f 14,000 in a fonirressional district, will, if judicially expended, do a big work for a time, but such influences are short lived and the leaven will have o be increased to make ft hold out and will soon be come an, expensive luxury. Politics is an encei tain thing. Great changesand upheavals are continually going on, and no party can endure, on v for a time, unless the party is actuated by high and hon ornble principles. In a few veari lonirer control or tne nation o the present Kepnb ican-policies will cause tne people to rise up against them and hurl tnein from ower never to rise again. The American people will not oncer tolerate the present condition of the Philippines. If the war continues there must be a change soon. This war is now costing the United Statfs$9,500,000pei month. What is this all for? t hen hink of t he 6.000 brave boy? who have lost . their lives al ready in this unholy war; numbers more of oursoldiara are sick and dying many of them have lost their mind- are hopelessly insane from exposure, and severe climate. Ouirht not this foolish, unjust war to stop, ' it the nabobs fail to get fall possession of the best parts ol these is landt? In discussing the pros and cons of reorganization Dew ocrats should remember that the 1 apportionment will change conditions in this country very, materially. The solid, south can no long er win with the aid of New York and Indiana. To gain an election nowadays the Democracy-most carry a fir percentage of northern or western states, and will go down to quadrennial defeat aniens it can adopt a plat- f uni oo which it can carry them. The Piesident will recom mend that the war taxes be redhced by abtut 15 000,- 000 mt of the total of $100, 000.000 estimated to accrue from them, although his man agers promised before elec tion that they would be wip ed out tnis fall. We hope, however, that the ' amount to be repealed will be raised to sixteen or dropped to four teen millions. Fifteen per cent has an ominous "plain dutv" reminiscence that is a . not pleasing to American ears. The chances are that the colonial question will not be entirely settled by the Su preme Court for some time to eolne. It certainly will not be by the decisions in the cases now set for argument in that body.

P. rVhen a Republican tells you what a splendid advance American manufacturers have made in gaining con trol of foreign markets,' just ask him why it is pecessary to maintain an exorbitant tariff on the importation of these very articles. And when be can't answer this, tell him that it is in order to enable the trusts to aell their goods higher 'in the, United States than they do abroad. The beef trust has put op prices again and the consum er must pa up or go with out meat. It is somewhat significant that the combine held back its raise in prices until after the election. Pos sibly, it might even have re frained from it altogether if Bryan had been elected and Congress had stood ready to punish the trusts instead of encouraging them. , The election is ovetf fchd the armor plate corif facts have been let, giving the trusts practically all they asked. . Evidently the only bar to the government's pay ing prices that Secretary Long himself denounced" as extortionate, was the fear as to how the voters might look on it.

Hut then, It is a (lit- fervnt thing to take awa.t the territory claimed by Fili pinos and to retain territory claimed by Great Britain. Mr. Piatt announces that the control of the New Tork city police is to be. taken a- way from the city govern mentand vested in the' Clov ernor ot tne otate. 1 nus. slowly, but surely, theprinci pie of home rule is being de stroyed in the United States as well as in the "colonies." If President McKinlej had extended his invitation to his cabinet to remain with him for four years to come before the election, would he have received the same enthusias tic support that he hid from two or ; three prominent statesmen ' who ' might be mentioned.. uenerai MacArthur eajs that the Filipinos stick to gether on account Of "ethno logical homogeneity" which leads them tO: prefer "consan guiueous leadership."
