The Two Factions.

~HE plight in which some of the
western republican senator's find
themselves is accurately de-
scribed by the Washington correspond
ent of the goldbug Portland oregonian,
who writes that with these men the
great, living question is how they are
to get back to congress. Principles and
platforms and party measures do not
cut very much figure If the carrying of
them into effect means the loss of votes
sufficient to defeat those who want TO
he reelected. These people are in
quandary now because they do not see
any way out OF the difficulty"
1t is a prediction to which there is
general agreement that unless the adj
ministration does something to coun-
teract the Gage plan several western
states, at the first opportunity, will dis
miss the senators who now misrepresent
them This consideration serves con-
stantIy to mark more distinctly the
line that is dividing the republicans into
distinct factions. First there is the
group of goldbugs who want 10 stop
at nothing. Their programme is to
push things along the Gage line. They
sneer at the western straddlers. They
argue that it is as we'll to face in the
senate outright silverites as To be for
ever fooling with the senators from
some of the western states who insist
on trying to travel with the goldbugs
and with the silverites too.
In the second group are the policy
people. who are trying TO shape things
with reference to a future which, on
their own confession. looks ominous.
These people advocate policy of pa
thence They realize that the republic
can plan has fooled a good many nee-
pie in the past: they believe that these
people can be fooled some more. They
are living with this years autumn cleo
tions in view. Next Novembers poll
has a double significance 1t will de-
eide the makeup of the next house Of
representatives. Ii will also elect a
number of legislatures which will
choose members of the federal senate.
Clark of Wyoming. Wilson of Wash
ington. Davis of Minnesota. Burrows
of Michigan, and other men in states
where silver sentiment strengthens are
on the list of senators whose terms eA-
pires in March 1899.

publicans and most Of the west ern re-
publicans realize that with their party
there is nothing for silver. but the par

Harsh as this judgment is, il is the only
one that justifies yesterdays sensa-
tional drama; and there was fun war
rant for that.
The protest due in the matter of deal
ing with Durrant concerns the unpar-
donahle hardness with which retribu-
ton overlook him-yesterday's spectacle
ought to have been presented long ago.
The theatrical attempt to extend his
stay on earth was endured too long; JUS
tice ought not to. be compelled to fight
against So many obstacles in its pursuit
of crime. The Durrant lawyers sus-
tanned their travesty in way that
would have reflected credit on a worthy
cause. They had something al stake,
there can be no question az TO The mo
tive that prompted the final hasty jour
ney TO Washington. The public VIII not
believe that ii was undertaken by the
lawyer who made the trip under the
notion that the supreme court would re-
gard the case with favor. There was
another purpose in it. The admission Is
that IA few days ago Durrant began to
weaken. lie had 10 he braced, the illu-
sion that at the very last instant aid
might come from Washington was well
enough in its way--it helped To seal the
murderers lips and estop him from con-
fession More than probable ii IS that
some Of the attorneys deemed the trip
across the continent worth takingsin
order that it might serve the purpose
thus suggested.
The defense of Durrant was a farce
as soon as his trial of long ago devel-
oped his utter inability TO make good
any feature Of the alibi which he said
he could prove. BY the way, one OF the
mysteries of the Durrant case is a mys-
terry still The resources at the COM

universally discussed-a percent

that Durrant was innocent. These are
people who stand by the proposition

- portant To deal with. the house
at Washington is permitting it
self to be a debating society which Is
trying to decide whether our civil-serv-
ice system is a blessing or the other
thing. The talk with which Mr.. Gros-
venor leads off makes mockery of the
plank in the st. Louis republican plat
form that reads: THE civil service
law was placed on the statute books by
the republican party which has always
sustained 1t. and we renew our repeated
declarations that ii shall be thoroughly
and honestly enforced and extended
wherever practicable" At the st. Louis
convention Mr.. Grosyenor was a facto-
tum for Mr. Mckinley. Grosvenor was
not saying n word when this platform

the eyes of the silyerites.

mind. He demands that there he a de-
