% hold balance OF power between
the two great parties. He declare d
that the last six presidential cleo
tioas have been determined BY in
dependent voters. These voters
are to-day united in their oppo-
sition to the approval of Mr.. Nc
Kinlep's course. If they cooperate
1t the coming election. they will
compass his defeat and bring the
Republic back to its true course.
It is claimed that these Anti

measure the independent voters. and
that the Nationalists," who held \
convention in Indianapolis on Tues
day. also represent another body
those independents. The independ-
ent voters can accomplish nothing

Utility to both of the great parties.
All they can do is to throw the
weight of their influence with the
one or the other, but their indie
pendence is Manifestation of the
excessive radicalism of both parties
ON one subject or another. and; by
withholding their votes and sup
porting neither, they testify to the
growing dissatisfaction with both.
Apparently, the time has come
when conservatism in politics
counts for nothing. The two great
parties are fast coming to have NO
political principles. blu. both are
engaged in q mad struggle for power
and spolls, and they are fast aban-
doning all the old landmarks and
embarking in the most radical
schemes. 1t is time for conserva-
tism to rally and show that the
American people are not all given
over to the mammon of unrighteous-
ness in plumber politics.
Nevertheless, the great danger
now to the Republic is from i'm

in the present great emergency is to

Washington, Feb. 6.-Democrats of

istration during the general debate
upon the diplomatic consular appro-
pration bill yesterday Two speeches
We're made by democratic members of
the foreign affairs committee, Mr..
Dinsmore of Arkansas and Mr.. Clark
of Missouri opposing retention of the
islands. The speech of Mr. Clark
which lasted almost two hours, was
notable effort replete with unique cpl
grams and attracted much attention.
No republican spoke in defense of the
administration policy Mr.. Sibley of
Pennsylvania, who was elected as a
democrat, was goaded into the an
nouncement that the democrats could
consider his seat constructively on the
republican side Before the debate
began an effort was made to pass the
bin looking to the appointment Of an
expert commission to examine into
the question of the pollution of the
water supply of cities but it was de-
feated Chicago members considered
that it was aimed especially at the
drainage canal.
SENATE
Senator Gallery of Louisiana, in the
discussion of the Philippine question
broke new ground in developing his
position as an anti-eXpansionist. In
response to questions as to what in the
present circumstances he would do
with the Filipinos, he said with char
acteristic courage Of conviction: Turn
them loose as soon as we can get rid of
them That would be better for them
and infinitely better for us Senator
Caffery's argument was mainly dis
cussion of constitutional questions.
He maintained that the constitution
extends absolutely over the Filipinos
and that they are entitled to all the
rights and privileges Of citizens OF the
United States guaranteed by the con-
stitution The senate In executive ses-
sion ratified the Hague peace treaty
and also the extraditiOn trea Z with
the Argentine Republic Both were
adopted without objection or division.
