THE Morning News is unreasonably
disturbed at the natural apathy, not to
say disgust, with which the Republican
candidates and the Dover platform have
been received. The criticism of the
Philadelphia Telegraph that the boy
candidates do not measure up 80 the ex.
pectations which the hard blowing Of
Senator Higgins and others have raised
nthe minds Of outside Republicans. hurts
the editors pride The News has made
greater effort than his biography
warrants to show that Harry, not
Henry" Richardson is great states
man. or course, that task is somewhat
difficult when the first care of the cand-
date Is to have his name corrected from
dignifed and beautiful Henry, which
signifies tine head Of the house" to
Earry, its diminutive, which signifies the
little fellow who runs around between
the legs Of the head Of tie house. As to
the platform. such sentences as it con-
tains may be read in the Daily Hersey
from day 70 day for the last six months.
or perhaps six years, II any one has
stomach strong enough 20 investigate
either period It is well TO understand
Al the outset that it is Harry, the little
son Of his father, not full-qrown
Henry, master Of the house, who fur
nishes the fgure.head for the Republican
ticket.

ordinary and comprehensive pieces Of
legislation Of modern times. It is i'm
possible TO conceive Of piece OF legisla
ton which would give wider scope or
more important power to the offies and
influence Of the President. The Repub.
iicans voted for it against the genius of
our country and in direct antagonism to
our theory Of government-that all power
Of treaty. all regulation Of foreign inter
course and all commercial and political
relations with foreign countries must be
deliberated upon by the representatives
of the people. It was never eontem.

DURING the funeral services and the
last sad rites Of the Mckinley tariff bill
in the Senate, Senator Plumb behaved In
a very facetious and undignifed manner
for Republican who should have been
-engaged in building up" the millionaire
infant Industries, which have been grow
ing weaker for thirty years and which
need more support now than they needed
when they were not so well
grown. Among ether things he
had the audacity to propose
tax Of three per cent. on the dividends
Of corporations. Now, il there Is any
thing dear to the Republican heart or
necessary to the plethoric condition Of the
campaign fund, it is a corporation. The
party would go out of existence If It could
not plead with the workingmen and the
farmers to save the corporations from
annihllation and could not collect contri
buttons from the corporations for SER
vices rendered in the salvation cause. It
would be suicidal to tax corporations
Suppose the corporations should refuse 20
subscribe to the campaign fund. Sup
pose Speaker Rsei had bsen required to
buy his own votes 10 Maine The dis
asters which would follow such folly are
too horrible to contemplate. Then.
going further, Senator Plumb. who. of
course, comes from the West, where the
trusts are not regarded as absolutely es-
sential to the Republican party, m oved
an amendment providing that where
the existence of trusts or combinations
to control the production or sale of any |
article is proved to the satisfaction Of a |
court, similar articles of foreign pro-
duetion are to bs Rd uitsed free Of
duty. Rejected-yeas. 81 nays, 80.
The Republican majority could not
bring themselves to the commendable |
position Of opposition to the trusts even.
hence they rejected Senator Plumb's |
amendment without any consideration
whatever. They did not need to con-
slider any legislation that was inimical TO |
trusts, syndicates and corporations; they |
rejected it at the first intimation. Il |
will be remembered against them, how.
ever In the campaigns which are to come.
There is no question that Senator Pl NIB
was advocating the cause Of the people.
and when the people are fully aware Of
the positions assumed by the respective
parties they will not hesitate any longer.
about casting their votes where their in
terest lies than these Republican Sena.
tors hesitated to cast their votes in favor
Of the trusts, where their interests lie.

the prestige ard personal importance Of
Speaker Reed in the party The pro
gram OF audacltv will be subjected t. q

The Importance and effect of Mr..
Reeds surprising triumph are not likely

correspondent depicts the Republican
enthusiasm that has been aroused at the
national capital, and this may be taken
as Indicative OF the general sentiment.
The Speaker has become the political
hero Of the hour. and when he appears
in the House to day will doubtless be
made the recipient IF an ovation seldom
seen in that hall His victory is to be
Interpreted not only rs handsome per-
sonal compliment but also as an
emphatic Republican Endorsement Of his
czarism in the Speakers chair and Ms
favorable attitude toward the Force and
Mckinley Tariff bills He made these
measures aud his own much criticised
rulings es Speaker, leading issue of the
canvass and be has been sustained at the
polls by an unprecedented solid Repub-
lican vote. Another significant meaning
is to be attached TO this result. Ii is
well known that there was a clearly de-
fined issue between the two Maine leaders
touching both the Speakers parliament

this issue the Republicans of the First
