Republican ImpOtency.

The Republican party as represented i'll
the United States Senate and House of Rep
resentatives is made up of warning factions
that seem determined to fight one another
to the death Each faction bids eagerly for
the assistance of the Democratic members
in humiliating its opposing Republican
clique. This condition has always been the
forerunner of certain defeat at the polls and
there is no reason TO believe that history
will not again repeat itself
On the Cuban reciprocity measure recent
ly debated in the House, the deadliest
political enemies could not have fought one
another more bitterly than did the Repub.
lican Congressman who took different sides
in the discussion of this bill. Hepburn
mercilessly applied the scalpel to the Re
publican members Of the Ways and Means
Committee, Chairman Payne Daizeii, Hop
kins and CTosvenor, the stradler statesman.
Grosvenor has been on so many different
sides Of this question in the last three
months that his imbecile Inconsistency ap-
pears almost pathetic. The distinguished
calculator must be both cross-eyed and
lame from the effects Of his superhuman
efforts to straddle. He first loudly pro.
claims with the bogus boldness that he

other American industries must be pro-
tected from the pauper sugar of Cuba, a
foreign country.

to consider an er.06fcio appurtenance of his,
no matter who is President, unless he made
a complete back down from this position he
changed front with as great rapidity as he
makes his lightning calculations. The
verbal trounciug he got from his Repub-
lican colleague, Hepburn, again stampeded
him and when the measure was put to a vote
he actually vofed agGiHSt a.
So fierce was this family fight in the
Republican household that the Democrats
by adroit generalship that does them much
credit, converted the bill. by iudicious
amendment, into a shape that affords sub.
stantial relief to the people from the grasp

the House in this form. The Republicans

In the discussion Of the Oleomargarine
