Republican HypOcrIsy Revealed IN thA
Senate.


Senate.
Senator Vest did good service for the
country and the democracy by exposing
in the senate the hypocrisy of the re.
publicans with regard to the Dingley
bill in particular and the tariff in gem
eral.
His vigorous attack on the bill aud
on the republican attitude with regard
to the tariff brought out the statement
from the republican side of the senate
that the republicans did not expect to
pass the bill and regarded it as dead.
Senator Teller added to the interest
and significance of the revelation by as
serting that it never was the intention
Of the republicans to pass the bill, but
that it was drawn up and introduced for
political effect in the campaign. It was
intended to serve as a sop and an appe-
tite Whether to the manufacturers,
from whom the republicans wanted aid
in the election.
The republican talk about the Ding
ley bill is, therefore, pure moonshine.
The leaders admit they cannot pass 1t,
and that, if they could, would not pass
it. As a matter of fact, they would re
gard its passage as a great party calam-
ity, because it would take away the ex-
cuse for calling ar extra session and
passing a bill which would be satisfac-
tory to the horde of bounty seekers the
party has on it's hands.
The debate thoroughly p%unctured the
revenue and prosperity buster of the
republicans. It emphasized the fact
that McKinleyism means less event
for the treasury and the checking Of
general prosperity. It showed that thu
kind of revenue and prosperity the re.
publicans + preparing to create are
private, not public.-St. Louis Repuh

shrouded and coffined, the infant new
year is Graded and rocked with the
caressing hand of universal mankind
while it is 1eece-lined with the spotless,
beautiful snow of midwinter. "The
king is dead. Long live the king" The
old year is dead. Long live the new
year.
For many generations it has been
customary to make New Years day
a holiday for social calls, every friend
being expected to remember every
friend; but the custom of formally re-
ceiving friends on this glad, gay day
survives perfectly only in Washington
at bhe present time. This is caused
mainly by reason Of the fact that the
president Of the United States holds
his first annual public reception on the
first day of the calendar year. Nothing
democratic than the New Years
reception at the white house is known
even in the democratic United States.
On the first day of the year statesmen.
diplomats and reverend judges rub ell
bows with the public, but not with the
great unwashed public. A clean face and
hands, and a tidy costume, are the only
passports required at the gates Of the
white house grounds.
Business never begins in Washing
ton until nine o'clock in the morning,
and the higher public functionaries
never make their appearance officially
until nearly noon. But on New Years
day things are different. Carriages
begin to fly about at an early hour.
Men in the uniform of the army or
navy r seen hurrying from place to
place, many of them awkward in the
unfamiliar garments, for uniforms are
little worn in Washington, though they
arc an inHariable feature of every story
or play which Is supposed to illustrate
Washington life.
Everybody goes to the white house.
