The assertion OF Mr.. Wanamaher and

night before. This has been the party
custom for years. II was fulfilled to
the letter in this instance. Moreover
the regularity of the caucus is estab-

100 out of the l64 Republican senator's
and representatives. present in Harris

able right to establish regularity
Those who believe i'm regularity in par

nomination.
To be sure, the decision of party

Members who do not enter II may at
their option respect or ignore its de-

be regular party men if they ignore it.
For the time they must be Classed as
independents. BY refusing to recognize
the right of majority of the party tn
speak for the party they challenge a
principle which lies at the foundation
of representative government. We are

Prince Alfred Furst Wrede, of Wen

the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia, in which he proposes, with
their permission, to introduce into
Washington the "telefon hirmondo,' ;:
the telephone news system which
enables the subscriber to hear the or
binary news of the day through the
telephone instead of reading it from
the daily papers, also to hear what
ever is sung or played at the opera

Prince Wrede, in his petition to the
commissioners, called their attention
to the fact that the system is in sue

in Paris. ~ 5..
