with palneQ SURPRISE tuat tnc
Chinese government seems not
to in earnest in its efforts to sup
press the Boxers. Seeing that
those individuals are fighting for
what the Empress and the Tsung
Lii Yamen most ardently desire,
there should be no surprise about
this.
The Speakers veto is getting
to be a serious thing. 1t has no
constitutional safeguards and
there is no way of overriding it.
1t not only stops legislation, but
stops it before it begins and pre-
vents even its discussion The
government seems to be tending
towards one-man power.
The Democratic vote in Oregon
shows a gain of about 25 per cent
of the total vote of the state
Similar increases elsewhere
would give the Democrats New
York, Indiana. and number of
other states, and would elect Mr.
Bryan.
The first session of Congress
spent nearly $40, 900, 900, and
left a number of very expensive
items to go over till next session
The chances are that the two
sessions will cost billion and a
half. This is one part of the
white mans burden
Say, why not form the --Soci-
ETY. of the Sons of Carpetbag-
gers ?' The colonies will furn-
, ish plenty of candidates pretty
soon. No one who got away
with less than so, 900 should be
eligible.
