been approved by the party caucus, the re-

1t through. and so refused TO be drawn in
TO any extended discussion of It, Such an
attitude has nothing of the heroic about it,
but party leaders in close place often
take it and hold it. 1t happened. too, that
this was much the same attitude that the
democrats had taken in the Senate when

were under fire. and at Mr.. Germans own

1t is to be regretted that the republicans
Of the Senate in abandoning the Aldrich
sugar schedule did not adopt in its place
the schedule passed by the House. That
was the logical, and would have been the
wise thing to do. 1t had been demonstrat-
ed that the Aldrich schedule was inde-
fensible, and it had clearly been shown
that the House schedule afforded all the
protection the refiners needed. Had the
House schedule been adopted. therefore,
smooth sailing would have been guaranteed
both in the Senate during the remainder
of the debate. and in the conference on the
hill between the two houses. which is to
follow. As the case now stands. a stub
born fight in conference is assured, for al
though the schedule accepted by the Senate
I'm lieu of the Aldrich schedule is regarded
as an Improvement on that, it is yet entire
ly too conspicuously a schedule to the
Trusts liking. and ought to be defeated.
Likewise should it be made certain that
the action of the House with regard to the
Hawaiian treaty is in full effect sustained
The House took the proper view of that
matter. and any material change of that
view would be a public misfortune and a
victory most distinct for the Sugar Trust.
There is every reason for sustaining the
treaty: honorable dealing with a friendly
power, business interests of the highest
Importance, and political considera tions of
quite much moment, and which are
ripening every day. To kill the treaty now,
therefore, or even to give the notice of alb
rogation provided for in the convention,
would he an act of as much bad faith
of folly, and on both scores reprehensible
in the extreme. Only the Sugar Trust
would benefit and only the Sugar Trust
would applaud.
The oftener the situation is examined the
greater becomes the regret that the Senate

that very hard task had been unusually
Well executed. 1t is plain enough now that
had the bill in its original form been re-
ported to the Senate. it would have passed
without difficulty weeks ago. But the
other course was taken, and all that can be
done now in the way of correcting the evil
is to get back as speedily as possible and
as closely as possible to the Dingley bill.
At any rate, the republican party will be
wise to free Itself from every imputation of
playing into the hands of the Sugar Trust
in any feature of its tariff legislation.

questions here or elsewhere. In the body
where the bill emanated, 1t was not per-
mitted to be discussed or dissected, and by
this rule which you have adopted, we can
get no information even In the Senate Of

This was delightful, in its way The
senior senator from Maryland delivered
this without cracking a smile or turning
a hair Apparently, his whole nature was
