Warring Factions.
To the casual -and careless observer
the Republicans are dwelling together
in unity after the manner of brethren,
but signs are not lacking that there
must soon be a great struggle for su
premacy among the various factions, of
the victorious party. : I take it that no
body will seriously question the Repub
licanism of John Wahamaker. " He
proved his right to a high place in the
Republican synagogue by raising $400,
000 slush fund in 1SSS in about 24
hours In order o carry the election for
General Benjamin Harrison, and he
had his reward in .the shape of the
postmaster generalship. John's son runs
that stanch Republican newspaper, the
Philadelphia' North American. It is
generally taken and accepted that Ed
itor Wanamakerand ex-Postmaster
General Wanamaker "are on pretty good
terms with each others-cheek by jowl.
In. fact. Wanamaker pere is sometimes
denominated "Pious John."-; ' -

The answer of the chosen representatives of the

proposed to present $9,000,000 a year to a knot of

- Suppose' the Democratic "party were in power
and had been guilty of equal extravagance and
folly, is there any rational Republican who would
expect the people at the polls to indorse such a
recordf.
It is high time for President McKinley to assert
himself and exercise his great authority for the
guidance of the Republican party out of the bog
Into which deficient brains and excessive greed
have plunged it. He can do it if he will. Espe
cially can be end at once a peril that threatens
the party with disgrace and the country with
dishonor. Bad as conscienceless waste of the pub
lic money is, that is innocence itself in compaii
8on with the movement whose aim is to have the
Republican party repudiate the nation's sacrad
pledge to Cuba. That cannot be done without
rank disloyalty to the party's platform adopted
at Philadelphia, -which ays: - .. . ... - .
"To Cuba independence and self government
were assured in the same voice by which war was
declared, and to the letter this pledge shall be
performed.
Repeatedly the president himself has reaffirmed
the binding nature of this promise to the fulfill
ment of which the United States is committed ss
securely as honor can commit any nation to any
act. Why, then, do members of the Republican
party, many of them in high official pisee, dare
to intimate that President McKinley can ever be
persuaded to consent to the dishonor of the coun
try and his own administration f
In December, 1900, Mr. McKinley in his message
to congress said it was. our plain duty to grant
free trade to Porto Rico, which had been deprived
of her Spanish and Cuban markets by annexation
to the United States. - Tet President McKinley
was induced to recede from that just and honor
able position. Hence the hope of the advocates of
perfidy and spoliation in the case of Cuba that he
.may be cozened into reversing himself again.
Now, what does The North American
wish to stir up unpleasant recollec
tions for? Why does It harrow up the
memory with -a reference to that his
toric wabbling and somersaulting In
the Porto RJcan business? Hasn't
President McKinley a right to change
his mind radically on questions of
greatest pith and moment "while you
wait?" Hath. The North American no
bowels of compassion?
Dragged In the Mire.
The further it goes the worse it gets.
for it has the hardihood to say:
The party needs leadership from the White.
House. It needs immediate and plain speaking
from President McKinley, which shall crush at
once and forever the rising hope of those who
would saddle the Republican party with the crime
of denying independence to the Cubans. A billion
and a half dollar congress the country might pos
sibly be argued into forgiving, but unless Ameri
cans "nave forgotten self. respect and good faith
there could be no forgiveness for the party re
sponsible for national perjury. That this perjury
should even be suggested by Republicans holding
seats in congress and on terms of cordiality with
the White. House is an insult to the president so
intolerable that we marvel he has not resented it
ere this. The party is being foully stained, and
the Republican president owes it to the Repub
licans of the United States, as weU as to himself.
to rebuke and rout the Beveridges, the Stewarts
and the Heidi
The same leadership that has dragged the party
into the mire ot indefensible extravagance aeeks
to make of it a pack animal for the trusts for
wealth whose only interest in government is to
use it for the increase of private profit at the cost
of the masses of the people. It was the sugar
and tobacco trusts that applied the pressure which
deprived the Porto Ricans of a country and pil
loried the United States as the doer of cruel and
sordid injustice.
The North American ought really to
be ashamed of itself to publish that
last sentence, for it must know two
things: (1) That Hon. Sereno E. Payne,
chairman ofL the committee on ways
and means, fathered that bill after
changing his mind suddenly and inex
plicably; (2) that he is In feeble health
and may die of heart failure if the
Republican North American keeps up
such jabber as that. Too bad! Too
bad! - '
McKinley and "the Boers.
The greatest enigma, the most un
fathomable mystery, the most unsolv-
able puzzle connected with this admin
istration, is its attitude touching the
Anglo-Boer war. The heroism of the
two little South African republics in
this matchless fight for' freedom ap

tion of all. the world except tne iic-
Kinlev administration. , It has out-
Heroded Herod L e., Johnnie Bull
himself in the sang f roid with which it
has watched the death struggle of the
foremost heroes in the flood of time.
True, It has not sent its armies to. help
Mr. Bull, for the all sufficient reason
that it could not,-for there is a con
gress still, though it has in these later
days abdicated many, of itst functions
in favor of the executive. Neverthe
less there Is enough of congress left to
raise a row occasionally; but, while no
American army has fought under the
cross of St. George, the administration
has done' everything in its power to
aid the British in their crusade against
liberty, notwithstanding the fact that
we are supposed to be neutrals.
English agents have purchased In
America openly, and aboveboard over
77,000 horses and mules during the
Boer war, have shipped them openly

Africa, have filled the New Orleans pa

who shall say that mules and horses

are they any less "contraband of war"
than is coal, which is solemnly declar

" Bats Off to Pertigrew,
Defeat may have imbittered Hon.
Richard Franklin Pettigrew of South
Dakota, but it did not pale his intel
lectual fires. He kept good his promise
to defeat Mark Hanna's pet bill and
colossal steal, the ship subsidy raid
upon the treasury. That must be a
sweet recollection for Richard Frank

a Parthian arrow into the serried ranks
of the army of senatorial looters, one
of the sharpest, which went straight to
the mark, was bis suggestion that ihe
president of the republic snouia wear
the farther designation of "the emper
or of the islands of the seas." Evi
dently Mr. Pettigrew is not looking for
a job under the administration and has
no aspirations- to become an ornament
of our Imperial court. Pettigrew re
fuses to bend the pregnant hinges of
the knee that thrift may follow fawn
Ing. He goes he may never return
but he defeated Mark's fondest hopes.
All bats off to Pettigrew!
With Pettigrew goes 'another remark
able character, Hon.. Marion Butler of
Vnrth Carolina. After serving a full
term of six years among the conscript
fathers Butler's senatorial career euus
at the age of 37, a time of life at which
m nign public fetation remains to d
seen, but to a mere looker on in Vienna
it would appear that a man of bis age
or youthfulneas, whichever you please,
who has ability enough to create a
party in an old, conservative state such
as North Carolina and force or Induce
it. to elect him to the senate at the age
of 31 must be much out of the ordi
nary. I do not of course train political
ly with Butler, but I like the man per
sonally and wish that he would return
to the Democracy of North Carolina.
He and they might be of mutual ad
vantage to each other in the days that
are to come. Intellectually he has stood
well in the senate. He haa not been
regarded as a freak, but as a man .of
sense.
A Giant Intellect.
Along with Pettigrew and Butler
goes a man who Injured his own repu
tation when h epokQ for14,i Lours in
the senate at one stretch and thus ac
quired the title of the "champion long
distance talker." His name is William
Vincent Allen of Nebraska. He Is
much more than a mere long distance
talker; he is a giant Intellectually And
physically, a fine lawyer, a strong de
bater and a man of courage and ca
pacity. He haa served eight years
six by election and two by appoint
ment He is honest as the day Is long.
and his career his been highly credita
ble to himself, his state and his nation.
He haa not been a chimerical states
man, as our eastern friends are fond
of believing all ropullsta to be. , On the
other hand, he is a man noted for level-
ness of head. He Is universally respect
ed by all who have observed his course
and is obnoxious to none except the
jobbers and looters of the treasury.
Nebraska now has three national char
acters among her private citizens Wil
liam J. Bryan, William V. Allen and
John M. Thurston.
In my last letter I stated that there
was some room for suspicion that Mr.
Bibcock's bill to kill the steel trust
was buncombe, or. In plain, everyday
English, a fake or fraud. Subsequent
events demonstrated that he was sim
ply playing to the galleries. One day
last week Hon. James D. Richardson,
Democratic-leader, moved In the com
mittee on ways" and means to report
Babcock's bill favorably, whereupon a
Republican member moved that the
committee adjourn, which latter motion
was promptly carried, which is the end
of Brother Babcock's bogus attempt
as a trust killer. If he has deceived
anybody whatsoever or whomsoever by
his transparent trick, it must be some
resident of an idiot asylum. Certainly
no sane human being could be hood
winked, with such a performance as
Bab's." His caper is somewhat on a
par with, but not quite so ridiculous as.
the fake antitrust constitutional amend
ment cooked up by the Republicans of
the judiciary committee In the closing
days of the long session.
The lines

When first we practice to deceive!
do not apply to these Republican pre
tenders and sleight of hand performers
simply because they have been practic
ing to deceive for, lo, these many years
but they weave a tangled web all the
same.
Navy Aristocrats.
Just to stir up the pure minds of my
readers by way of remembrance to the
fact that United States senators ought
to be elected by a direct vote of the
people I wish to direct their attention
to the action, of the legislatures of
Oregon, Delaware and Nebraska
Oregon elected at the last moment,
after a deadlock lasting throughout the
entire session," while Delaware and Ne
braska have not elected at alL Ad
dicks is strong enough to prevent the
election of two senators In Delaware
which is sufficient evidence that the
present -cumbrous and corrupt system
of election should be abolished. -
Rear Admiral Sampson appears to
have brought a hornets nest full ot
very bald hornets about his head by
writing a letter openly advocating a
naval aristocracy. Sampson's sin Is
that he spoke out In meeting what
many other aristocrats are thinking. A
peerage is a necessary concomitant of
an empire. Napoleon so found It, and
we will hardly find a larger pattern In
matters imperial than the Corsican.

" No outsiders, not even members- ef
the press, were allowed to te present
at rvhrar&ala of Verdi's operas. "X
production of a work of mine," said
VenJL "is an affair between that work
I and the rubllc. I do not write for the
press, but for the public, who will sup
port me if my work ts good or who wHl
execute me If It Is not I do oot care
for auRht else." M. de Nevers thus de
scribes Verdi's attitude at a drcsa re
hearsal of "Otello" in Paris, when the
presa waa present against his wishes:
The critics were all rlaced In the
corbpllle of the amphitheater, some ten

MM. Beyer, Bruneau, Jonclcrcs. Bel
lalgue. Peesard. Corneau and Sarcey.
The foreign press was represented by
M. de Blowltx and myself, and as Ver
di came in all stood up, with bats off,
and cheered the wonderful man. The
orchestra Iplned. of course. In the ova
tion, and it was to the musicians that
the master went and, bowing his ven
erable bead very low. he thanked them
for the kind demonstration and shook
hands with the nearest but never once
did he turn our way except for one mo

side glance an ugly one-and then for
the rest of the evening, some five hours,
Ignored our presence completely."

One- day, Judge' Marshall, engrossed
In hla reflections, was driving over the
wretched roads of North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh In a atlck gig. Ills
horse turned out of the road, and the
sulky ran over a sapling and was tilted
so as to arouse the judge. When he
found that he could move neither to
right nor left an old negro, who had
come along, solved the, difficulty.
"My old marster." he asked, "what
fer too don't back your horse T .
That's true," said the Judge, and he
acted as advised. Thanking his deliv
erer heartily, he felt In his pocket for
some change, but he did not have any.
"Never mind, old man." he said. "I
shall stop at the tavern and leave some
money for yon with the landlord."
The old negro waa not Impressed
with the stranger, but he called at the
tavern and asked the keeper If an old
gentleman bad left anything there for
him.
"Oh, yes," said the landlord, "he left
a silver dollar for you. - What do yon
think of that old gentleman?"

Caala St Report Golf.
When the amateur golf championship
waa played at Wbeaion In 1S37 there
was but oue Chicago newspaper man
wtjo had the remotest conception f
what the rsme was. Accordingly, the
newspapers, with the exception of the
Chicago Tribune, agreed to syndicate
the work and put It all in this one
man's hands. The Tribune refused to
enter the combination and depended
upon the exertions of a member of Its
own staff. But the Tribune reporter
speedily realized his helplessness and
appealed to hla brother of the syndicate
for aid. The Utter obligingly handed
over Ida copy, and the Tribune man set
to work to make a few. minor changes
so that its kicship to the original should
sot be too apparent Later in the
evening he met his generous bene
factor and told him of the changes he
had made. y

play at the sixth bole between Forgaa

rimmed the cup for a half.' Well, yoa
know, old chap, that Forgan Is a bank

Douglas la just one of those Scotch
men. It seemed to tne rather cheap to
have Forgan doing that sort of thing
for a half, so I just made It read that

In Macaulaya day English statesmen
were of a hardier and more robust
type than the present race of poli
ticians. They seem to have had cast
Iron nerves and appetites and diges
tions to match. They dined off a huge
beefsteak and a bottle of port, while
their grandsons are content with cutlet
and a lemon squash. And yet tbey liv
ed to a good old age. We hear of Lord
Brougham at the age of 70 "drinking
two bottles of port at dinner, going to
bed upon halt a bottle of peat reek
(whisky) and turning out at daylight
to shoot tealf and Lord Lyndburst .at
the age of 00 "supping off hot tolled
lobster and champagne."
Mr. Kinnear, an old parliamentary
hand, tells us that be remembers see
ing "Mr. Disraeli drinking, as the pre
lude to a big speech, a pint or port
wine at the buffet in the commons
lobby, dressed in a green coat a buff
waistcoat and snuff colored trousers."
This seems a modest potation under
the' circumstances, but Mr. Kinnear
adds that Disraeli came back and bad
another pint later on. Blackwood's.
