Schley gained the battle of Santiago,

Treason.
Mr. Roberts, Republican congress
man from Massachusetts. has rendered
himself liable to prosecution. if not for
treason or misprision of treason, at
least for leze majesty. In a recent in
terylew he so far forgot what is due to
such eminent Republican sayants as
Hon Serene e. Payne, Hon. John Dal-
zell, Hon. George W. Steele and Gen
eral Charles Henry Grosvenor as to
say, 81 am protectionist, and | be-
lieye in the principles of protection,
and | think the tariff should lie revised
by Republicans and not by Demo
Gratis" Men will rub their eyes and
pinch themselves when they read that
to discover if they are awake, for has
not the Hon. Serene Il. Payne put his
veto on any change Whatsoever in our
tariff schedules? Has not Brother Dal-
zell repeatedly intimated that the Ding
ley bill is the source from which all
blessings flow? Has not Governor
Steele taken a mighty oath that there
shall be no tariff tinkering? Did not
General Grosvenor asseverate just aft
er the Ohio election that the American
people had no more idea of changing
the Dngley rates than they had of re-
modelling the Ten Commandments?
Now, in the face Of all this. comes
Brother Roberts of Massachusetts with
IA proposition that the Republicans
shall revise the tariff, and wherefore?
Mirabile dictu, TO Keep the Democrats
from doing it. His words imply TWO
things which must cause the cold chillS
TO chase each other Up and Gown The
spinal columns of the Republicans a.
that the tariff needs rcyisiOn O. hat
there is a chance for the Democrats to
win the elections and return to power.
Does Mr.. Roberts KNOW what happens
to Republican rcformers? Has he con
sidered the pitiabe condition of Re
former Babcock? Mr.. Roberts had bet
ter look little out.
False Prophets.
When the Republicans passed their
financial law in 1900 by which it was
intended to multiply national banks.
we We're repeatedly and confidently
told that there would be no more trOu-
BILE about the volume of the currency.
Now the treasury officials tell us that
the volume Of the currency is being re-
the maximum reduction under the stat
ute being S3,000,000 per month. This
limit has been reached for December
and January, with enough applications
pending to reach the limit in February.
It really 10 ks as if there would be n
general rush to cancel bank notes.
thereby reducing the currency t. the
panic point if II were not for the maxi
mum limit of $3,090000 per month.
Truly the Republicans Of 1900 were a
set of false prophets
BY highest authority we are com
manded TO remove the beam frcm our
cwn optics before we perform surgi-
cal operation on our brother to remove
the mote from his eye. This advice is
peculiarly applicable 10 the Republic
ans at the present time. They are al
ways prating about differences among
Democrats, utterly regardless Of disa-
greement among Republicans.
1t is my pleasant duty to jog their
memories as to how certain Republic
ans regard certain other Republicans.
For instance the Philadelphia Bulletin
Republican, remarks rather vigorous
ly as follows: "The smooth werking Of
the Republican machine in the house
may tickle the fancy Of Republican
leaders, but it obviously is not calculat
ed to develop sound thinking or practi-
cal craftsmanship on the part Of repre-
sentatiyes." Which is both severe and
true.
