ers that their vote would not be less
than $4,000 and would probably reach
80, 900. 1t was conceded by the repub-
| lican leaders that the prohibition vote
would be from $4,000 to 10000.
| Now the count shows that the prohi
bition candidate for governor received
only 1868 votes. TO be sure this is q
gain over the vote in the last presi-
Dental campaign when it reached 1902,
and still greater gain over the state
election of 1899 when the prohibition
vote was 1850, but so far back as 1895
the prohibition vote reached 11,052. and
then declined to 3192 1t is thus indi-
Gated that the prohibition vote is very
ductuating and that while it has now
reached a higher point than ever 1t is
liable to recede again.
But even if contrary to its past rec
ord it should continue to gain little by
little the outlook is not very encourag-
ing when ii is remembered that there
are between 100000 and 100000 voters
in Iowa. The prohibition vote is but
a drop in the bucket and even If the
drop keeps getting bigger at the pres
ent rate it will take many years for
the drop to fill that bucket
The best thing that temperance re-
formers can do is to exert their infiu-
ence within the old party lines and to
endeavor to get those who hold the
power to use it for furthering the re-
form. In addition to that instead of
putting their chief energies into poll
tics they should devote themselves to
getting men to practice temperance for
the sake of temperance and not be-
cause held in restraint by force of law.
There are many ways in which these
reformers can utilize their strength to
better purpose than in attempting to
maintain distinct political party with
so narrow a plank as to give room for
only few to stand on It, They had
better seek to accomplish what is pos
sible instead of that which is impos-

THE PREDOMINANT SENATE.
IL. A. Coolidge in Ainslee's.l


For twenty years the senate has
one advantage after another until it has
things about its own way. Its limited
membership and unlimited debate give
individual senators free play. The house
has grown SO big that 1t has been COM
PEELED to cut off debate and put arbi-
trary power in the hands of the speaker.
1t has to act promptly as a unit IL 1t is
to act at all. On questions Of legislation
where serious differences arise with the
senate 1t frequently has to take meas
ure or reject 1t just as 1t stands. 1t or
iginates legislation. 1t sends a bill over
to the senate and the senate amends it..
1t is in the power Of a small group of
senators, and sometimes at the close of
session, in the power of a single sem
ator, to prevent the passage of any bill.
There are times when any senator with
small following, by threatening long
debate, can compel amendments which
are satisfactory to him. A measure,
thus amended so as to insure the sup
port of majority of the senate, goes
back to the house where 1t originated.
II it is measure involving party policy
the house has to take 1t or else run the
risk of sending ii back to the senate
again with amendments that will arouse
limitless discussion imperiling ita fate.
In nine cases out of ten the house, under
protest, will accept the senate amend
ments rather than run the risk of de-
feating the bill altogether, and right
here is where master of legislation like
Aldrich has his power. Having secured
the kind Of bill he wants In the senate
he convinces the house that 1t must take
that or nothing"

Most Of the American Suggestions to
Be Accepted.
Havana, Feb. 2O.-The committee
appointed to draw up a plan of the
relation to exist between Cuba and the
United States has consulted with a
majority of the delegates to the con-
stitutional convention, and it is claim
ed that in it's report it will recommend
the acceptance By the convention of
all the suggestions outlined in the let
ter of Secretary of War Root to Gov
ernor General Wood, with the excep-
ton. of those relating to coaling sta
lions and the recognition by Cuba of
the right of the United States to in
tervene whenever it thinks it neces-
sary to protect order and property.
Some of the delegates consider that
the granting of this latter right would
be derogatory to the self-respect of
Cuba. The delegates think they would
lose caste entirely if they were to
grant the request for coaling stations.
Some think that it would be better if
the United States were to insist on
this point, thus saving the position for
the delegates. One of the latter says
that certain Americans who claim to
be on the inside at Washington have
told the delegates to put on bold
front and refuse to grant all the con-
ditions, as in this case congress and
the administration will yield.

CUBANS COMING.
Direct Negotiation Regarding Inter.

Direct Negotiation Regarding Inter-
national Ties.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-A special
commission Of Cubans will come up
from Havana within a few days to
discuss with President Mckinley, Sec
rotary Root and leading members Of
congress the international ties to be
established between the United States
and the Cuban republic. This infor-
nation has just been received from
General Wood. The constitution as
now completed will contain no refer
snce to the international relations
with the United States. inasmuch as
1t is the plan of the Havana convention
to authorize a special commission to
negotiate directly upon the ground.
This new mission will be representa-
tive of the national parties taking part
In the constitutional convention.
Mr.. Mckinley tried to reach some
last cabinet meeting. An extra ses-
sion of congress is still deemed una
voidable. The grave questions between
the United States and Cuba are so
far-reaching that it is regarded as
manifestly unfair to precipitate action
during the few remaining days of the
session which might injure both this
government and the struggling re-
public. Nevertheless, the president
will transmit the constitution to con-
gress as soon as it arrives. and rec
ommend immediate action.

RICHARDSON RETALlATES.
Attempts to Block Consideration OF
the Sundry Civil Bill.

Attempts to Block Consideration Of
the sundry Civil Bill.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-In retaliation
against the action of Mr.. Cannon,
chairman of the appropriation COM
mittee, in filibustering against the pas
sage of private claims, Mr.. Richardson,
the minority leader, attempted to block
consideration of the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill until quorum was
present. Mr.. Cannon made the mo-
ton to go into committee of the whole
to resume the consideration of the
sundry civil bill and Mr.. Richardson
demanded a division. The division
showed less han 100 members present
and Mr.. Richardson made the point of
no quorum. "The gentleman from H.
linois," said he, insisted upon a quor-
um to pass an $500 claim. think we
should have quorum to pass a meas
ure carrying $60,0O0,000."
"The gentleman may make himself
responsible for an extra session." OBJ
served Mr.. Cannon in reply, as the
speaker directed a call of the house.
Under that order the doors were
closed and the sergeant-at-arms was
directed to bring in absent members.
Two hundred and one members ap-
peared, all voting for Mr.. Cannon's
motion and accordingly the house went
into committee of the whole on the
sundry civil bill.

Provincial Government.

Philippine Commission Organizes a
Provincial Government.
Tarlac, Province of Tarlac. Luzon,
Feb. 20.-The United States Philip
pine commission has decided after a
conference that it would not be wise
to postpone the organization of the
provincial government in the province
of Tarlac. AS the first step in the
work of organization the commission
determined to appoint a governor of
the province, the selection falling
upon Captain Wallis o. Clark of the
Twelfth United States infantry. There
are two native factions seeking to
control the affairs of Tarlac, the
strongest being led by Macubulos,
whose loyalty is questioned by all the
military officers. The Indifference Of
the people is obvious. There was a
manifest lack of enthusiasm.
The testimony Of those charged
with military responsibility here is of
unsettled conditions, lack of schools,
a general. prevalence of insurgent SEN
timent and more or less skirmishing
still in progress. The people, how
ever, have begun to give truthful in
formation regarding the instruction.
