SENATORIAL COLLuOUY.

There was a lively senatorial colloquy
at Washington Wednesday, and it was
confined to the Republican side of the
house. Senator Spooner was making a
speech about the Philippines and doing
a flip-flop, for he had previously been
against the retention of the islands by
this country, when he was interrupted
by Senator Hale, New England Re-
publican who has not gone daft for en-
pire. Here is little part Of the dia-
logue between the distinguished Re-
publicans:
Mr.. Hale: "The senator has more con-
fidence than have in the experiment
we are trying today Of teaching the
people of Cuba honesty and good gov
ernment. I think we would have been
better off IL we had not taught the Gu
bans the lesson that has been taught in
the last few months"
Mr.. Spooner: what lesson?"
Mr.. Hale: 1.-The lesson of fraud, pee
ulation, cheating, appropriation of rev.
eunes. stealing, carnival in every direc-
tion of corruption and fraud"
Mr.. Spooner (warmly): 'It is little
tiresome for me to be called upon on
this side of the chamber to reply to a
Democratic speech"
"Mr. Hale: II am as good Republi-
can as the senator from Wisconsin.
do not recognize any party obligations
that compel me to consent to the prop
osition that everything has gone right
in Cuba"
And so they keep 1t up. Those who
feel that they have greater obligation
to their party than to their consciences
will stand with Nicely, Rathbone and
others, while those whose consciences
have not been calloused by the lust of
empire will protest against grand larce-
ny and roguery generally.

Taylor, the fellow who tried to be
governor of Kentucky without going
through the process of getting elected,
has shown his hand and has demonstra-
ted his cowardice. No sooner did he
learn of the supreme court decision
against him than he turned tail and
broke for Indiana, where he feels Sc
cure, as the Republican governor Of
that state refuses to honor acquisitions
for accuesd murderers. Why does Tay-
lor not stay in Kentucky? Do inno-
cent men flee at the first accusation?

The bill providing that eight hours

The bill providing that eight hours
shall constitute a days work on public
and private contract jobs, passed the
house of representatives at Washing
ton, Monday, but it is not law. 1t
will die. 1t was passed in the house
purely for campaign argument this fall
and there is no intention Of making it a
law. The senate will accommodatingly
find itself too busy to give the matter
consideration and the measure will die
in committee, as the Nicaraguan and
other bills have died. 1t is simply cam
paign bumcomb and as such labor
should understand it.

OF course there will be great splurge
about Furnishing the officials who were
appointed to positions of trust in Cuba
because of political goods delivered at
home, but a scapegoat will be found in
due season and the whole thing will
go the way Of the canned beef, the
army contract, the naval vessel, the
Couer Alene and other scandals, when
the proper time comes. The postal de-
partment will find way of letting the
real offender go. For instance. Rath-
bone knows too much about how Mr..
Hanna broke into the senate to imagine
that he will suffer for Cuban Irregular
tiles under his regime. If the presi-
dent could be left alone to do as his
conscience dictates it might be diff
ferent.

polite we are living too high. but there
has been no disposition shown to go
backward or to retrench in our forward
movements. Big salaries and fat fees
have been the order, but somewhere
there win have to be a change. Whether
there or elsewhere, less money will have
to be spent, for there will be less to
spend. The tax levy may be increased
in few instances, but in most instan-
ces 1t is now up to the limit provided by
the statute. Hence, there can be no
legal action taken to increase the in
come of the county or municipality, for
1t is evident that city lands will be on
a lower basis in many instances, as well
as farm lands. The question is one that
must be met. II we have been going
too fast we will have to slow up a bit.
Where the retrenchment is to COM
mence will puzzle the officials.

may be termed Judgment, on collateral
matter, which indicated that he had
feeling against the defendant In the ac-
ton and was not of unbiased mind. His
sion Of the court goes, but 1t tends to
encourage lawlessness. If murder can
be committed to get Republican into
office and even one member Of the su-
preme court of the United States assents
to 1t as the proper course, how long will
law and order triumph? Mr.. Justice
Harlan has detracted much from his
reputation and standing as jurist and
as a citizen by allowing his prejudice to
sway his Judgment.
The court, in effect, decided that Mr..
william Goebel was, on the presenta-
ton of his certificate by the legislature
of the state. the governor. The docu-
mentary proof of his election came from
the legislature and the supreme court
decided that the legislature was the
court Of last resort and that the su-
preme court had no Jurisdiction. This
is purely a question of law. But 1t Is
mighty handy, IL 1t is law. 1t Is de-
cision that relieves the administration
of William Mckinley of a great embar-
rassment. Great effrts had been made
by Mr.. Taylor to get the aid of the
president in order to secure the at
tendance of Federal troops that mur-
derers might walk the streets unmoles-
ted, but the president declined to fool
with the hornets nest. Now, If the
supreme court had decided that It had
jurisdiction in the Kentucky case, and
had, after a hearing, decided that Mr.
Taylor was elected governor, 1t would
be the duty Of the court to carry out
it's decision to the point of seeing that
it was enforced. There would doubt
less have been resistance to this proceed
ure, and Federal troops would have
been necessary. President Mckinley,
as commander in chief, would have been
indirectly in command of these troops
and would have been held accountable
for their acts. So the supreme court
decision has politics in it over and
above the little opinion of Mr.. Justice
Harlan. 1t was one of those decisions
that come from the supreme court oc-
casionally, just at the right time to
help the Republican party out Of a
hole. 1t is probably chance, but it is
still fact.

Major Rathbone will never be pun
ished for the part he played in the Gu
ban postal scandals. 1t must be re-
membered that it was Rathbone who
worked the telephone conversation that
was so potent to bring the necessary
aid to Mr.. Hanna, then a candidate for
senator. 1t must also be remembered
that when the investigation was being
held Rathbone refused to give forth
any information, and thus saved Han
mas seat. He knows that bluff must
be made, but when the time comes he
knows he will be properly whitewashed.
1t is not yet too late to open the Hanna
case, and the fate of Quay and Clark
suggest what the senate can do when it
gets riled.

FATE OF DICrAIORs.

1t is getting quite difficult to keep tab
on the mental flip -fops of the Columbus
Press-Post. Declaring for Dewey as
against Bryan caused great furry in
Columbus, and it looked for time as If
the paper would flop back. When on
the verge, however, a solution was
seemingly found and the paper is now
for Dewey for president and John j.
Lentz for vice-president. Mr.. Lentz is
a stockholder of the paper and many in
sist that he has done himself injury
by the course the paper has been al
lowed to take, as 1t gives his enemies an
opportunity to declare that he Is in q
conspiracy to defeat Mr.. Bryan, which
isn't a fact, but which, as stated, gives
ground for surmise. After all, the Press
Post has learned that it is hazardous to
become dictatorial. The Democratic
party is big enough and strong enough
to name it's own candidates, and prima-
ry elections and conventions are held
for that purpose. A free and unbiased
expression of the rank and file Of the
Democracy can be had at the polls and,
through representatives, in convention.
The attempt of a Democratic newspa-
per, of whatever standing, to dictate
nominations has always led to compli-
cations and always will. Individual
opinions are well enough, but it must
be remembered that Democracy means
that majority rules and that the one
man notion does not prevail. The peo-
pie having decided, at the polls, or in
as to who shall be the can
didate, it is then the duty of Demo-
Gratis and Democratic newspapers to
support the nominee, as representative
Of principle, whether individually ac-
ceptable or not. But until the Demo-
cratic people make their selection, 1t is
folly to assume a dictatorial attitude
and tell your party what 1t shall do
in certain cases and what it shall not do
in others. Bossism is not to be tolera-
ted in politics or in business. This is
free country and the egotist who thinks
he is the whole thing and that nobody
can get along without him is in sight of
his finale.

THE KEN CASE.

The supreme court Of the United
States has taken action in the Kentucky
case and the result is such that all cit
liens may rejoice. The actuating i'm
pulse of the court was doubtless to
give forth the law as it is, but the dis
senting opinions indicate that there
were divergent views as to legal tech
nicalities and an attempt on the part Of
at least one of the judges to go behind
the law and take up partisan quarrel.
The dissenting opinion Of Mr.. Justice
Harlan is not a credit to that distin-
guished jurist. The supreme court had
nothing to do with the facts on this pre-
liminary petition.
The merits Of the controversy were not
gone into at the hearing, the case being
in court simply on an application for
hearing. The opinion of Mr.. Justice
Harlan, therefore, was uncalled for and
mischievous. The court had not been
asked whether Mr.. Goebel or Mr.. Tay-
lor had been elected to the Office Of
governor, but was asked whether a
hearing could be had to determine all
the matters pertaining to the election
and to the events subsequent thereto.
In dissenting opinion Mr.. Justice Har-
Ian insists that Taylor and not Goebel
had been elected governor by the peo-
pie, yet there was no testimony before
the supreme court as to whether any
one had been elected. The member of
the court therefore went out into COM
mon report for that which was basic
in his dissenting notion and in doing SO
lowered the dignity and standing of the
court. He based his judgment, II II

CHANCES NOT BRILLIANT.

McKinley's chances are not nearly
so good this year as they were in 1885,
His record Is against him. Hanna's
friendship is against him. The scan
dals Of the last four years are against
him.
Discussing the matter, the New York
Evening Post, an independent Republi-
can paper. that supported Mckinley in
1896, shrewdly remarks on the question
of the personal equation of the men,
that disgust is stronger motive than
vague dread. Men do, in spite Of sage
advice, fly from the ills they have to
evils they know not Of. Thousands of
independent Republican voters are, be-
yond all question, disgusted with Pres
ident Mckinley for one reason or an
other" Therefore 1t concludes ut will
not do to rely upon their distrust Of Mr..
Bryan to prevent them from voting
against Mr.. Mckinley"
1t adds as fact within Its own
knowledge, for example, that the pro-
fessors of a certain New England col
lege, who were almost unanimously for
Mckinley in 1896. are almost unani-
mously for Bryan now, and the reason
it says, assigned by these professors. IL
that Mr.. Mckinley has betrayed
them" and that they do not intend te
be like the fool in the Spanish provert
and break a leg twice over the same
stone"
