A Time for Parties to Split.

Senator Hoar tocd the mark nobly
against the Philippine grab. Fol-
lowing the searching argument by
ex-senator Edmunds in the New
York World, it shows where the
best minds of the republican party
stand on this subject, and if there
were equal fidelity to convictions IN
any great portion of the party lead
ership, the job would be sure of de-
feat. On a new question like this,
which has no relation to past politi-
cal issues, there should be no reason
why the parties should not divide
somewhere near equally. But while
the democrats, as indicated by their
attitude IN the Senate, by their con.
ventlon declarations, and by their
representatives in the press, are
about two-thirds against the impe-
realistic program, the republicans
arc four-tifths tor it. The only cx.
PLANTATION is that they are following,
not their convictions, but the admin
istration, the offices and the plumber
and as regards the rank and file
their old party prejudiccs. 1t re-
mains true, as Ben Harrison SO wei
said two years ago, that "a part,
that can't split is a menace to tn,
country" and there is encourage
ment for the future in the fact tina
the republican party is showing 1t
self capable of splitting to the extent
