REVOLT AGAINST ARBITRARY METHODS

OF the mary speeches that have been
delivered in congress against the sys
tenn of arbitrarism inaugurated by Mr..
Reed when speaker OF the house, none
Representative Cushrlan of Washing
ton In his speech on the Cuban bill
he paid his attention 70 the speaker and
rules of the chair, protesting against
the arbitrary system 20 which members
of the house have been submitted. Fall
ing away from conventional arguments
and objections, he exploited the farcical
side of the question quite as much us
its more. serious aspects. He compared
the lower house to an exhibition of
marionettes and it's members to Lilli-
putians. He emphasized the truth that
the present arbitrary restrictions im-
posed by the rules amount to de-
struction of the fundamental ideas of
popular. legislation. 1t was the bright
est and wittiest of the many speeches
that have been made attacking the sys-
tenn, bat after all it was merely the
winnowing of old chaff after new
fashion.
Mr.. Cushman's speech was the cul-
mination of the growing feeling
against the Reed rule which has been
strictly enforced. and not always with
the wisdom and wide knowledge that
characterized its originator. Cushman
served notice of revolt against the par
liamentary methods in vogue in the
house The fight was not so much
against Cuban reciprocity as against
the speaker, who had opposed the bill
at the beginning and bungled in an ar
bitrary attempt to secure its passage
after his change OF heart. 1t was SIM
ply declaration of independence, in
which the beet sugar representatives
joined in the vote that followed and
were aided by the democrats to embar-
ress the speaker and the administra-
lon.sk Mes5fS. heHueIsoii, dy ne anu
Grosvenor must look to the senate to
correct their mistake, and that body is
likely to find some ground common to
all republicans and just to Cuba, but 1t
is more than possible that Mn Hender-
sons, leadership OF the house found a

Representative Cushman and the vote
that supported it. There is in the vote
a strong protest against rules, framed
to prevent fiiibustering. being used te

appreciation and reward

The Cedar Rapids Republican thinks
the efforts which the president is max
ing to test the laws of the United
States against the combines, is laud-
able act from the standpoint that it is
the business of the president to execute
the laws of congress. but notes that
The antitrust laws passed by the
several states have nearly all failed,

bunal 1t may be that the national
laws will meet like fate. But If so, it
will but clear the deck for further ac-

The Nonpareil thinks that while TN
manufacturing Iowa stands the sew
enteenth among the states of the union,
and hence there are twenty-eight
states which are worse off, but Iowa is
not satisfied, and ought not to be, with
being above the average. 1t should be
up to the front in manufacturing as it
is in other things"

ISSUES. NOT LEADERS. NEEDED.

1t is now in order among democrats
to hold banquets at which the orators
may coin epigrams regarding the re-
iuyenization of their poor old party.
The Hon. David B. Hill comes forth
from his seclusion at Woolfert's Roost
and. proclaims the dawning of demo-
another banquet q Florida congress-
man declares that New York state must
furnish the next democratic candidate
for president and that, he can be no
other than D. B. Hill. Everywhere we
hear Of the "old leaders" being rein-
stated, that the party has deserted Bry-
an and returned to its idols once again.
All of this would be alarming if these
We're the developments that bring sue
cess to political parties. But until we
hear of some great issue dividing the
public into parties of men of strong en-
thusiasm and sincerity Of purpose the
IRE -juvenizatioa" of the democratic
party will brighten few of us. The pres
ent day discussion going on within the
democratic party is not one as to an
issue 1T is mere wrangle as to ex-
pediency. Bry,in stood for principle.
Thru repeated defeates he has stood
firm for his convictions but defeat is
Faft
for the spoils, SO a change of leaders is
sought. A return to the men who OPP
urged not because these men represent
new issue or any issue at all but be-
cause they offer the greatest hopes of
winning an election.
Such is the humiliating attitude of a
great political party. 1t fought for
eight years ostensibly for a principle.
Defeated and demoralized it abandons
The issue and lakes up with the enemies
of its former cause in the hope of win
ming the places and the spoils. So long
as this is the only cause to be cham
pioned by tht. democratic party disas-
ter will follow its every campaign. No
party will ever succeed which has for
its sole objec'. political victory for vic
tory's sake alone and waits always for
the dominant party to declare itself on
the problems of state craft in order that
1T might take the opposite side of the
question and carry on a contention.
The party in power is too often in the
right to leave the place hunting party
much opportunity to choose anything
but the wrong side. Until the republic
cans make some enormous blunder and
meet some great question on the wrong
side to the extent that men by the
thousands VIII be compelled to join the
opposition III order to vote their con-
victions, there will be no hope for the
democrats. Great issues bring forth
their leaders. but no man ever yet saw
an issue of great moment manufactured
by set of leaders especially for use
in this campaign" Democrats longing
for chanc. at the spoils should make

THE DIFFEREnTIAL AMENDMENT.

THE DIFFERENTIAL AMENDMENT.
The vote in the lower house of con-
gress last night was such q surprise t"
every one that the real effect still re-
mains puzzle. 1t is very plain that u
few disgruntled republicans who fan
cied their pockets would suffer loss II
concessions were made to Cuban raw
sugar deliberately plotted to scuttle the
ship of republican organization and Sc
cured the aid of the united democratic
opposition in their work. Their whole
action was selfish, an abuse of power
and despicable to an extreme They
overruled the speaker and thereby vot-
ed that an amendment removing the
differential duty of 1919 cents per hum
dred pounds on refined sugar imported
from all countries was germane to the
Cuban bill, but when the democrats
proposed amendments making other
tariff reductions these same men voted
that such amendments We're not ger
name. They We're voting only for the
one amendment which they hoped
would kill the Cuban reciprocity bill
and cared not a fig about the methods
used to do it.
The amendment passed and then,
contrary to their plans and eXpecta-
tons, the bill was passed also, which
sends it to the senate with the tariff
differential between raw and refined
sugar from the world at large removed,
but the amusing feature to the whole
situation is the alarm that has sud-
denly seized these beet sugar congress :.
men for fear that the amendment rider
which they hoped would kill the bill
may pass the senate by the votes of the
democratic senators and become q law
which would then force the beet sugar
factories to refine their own product,
which is of doubtful benefit to them.
1t is true the house leaders have
themselves to blame largely for the
mudile they are in. If they had sup
ported President Roosevelt heartily
from the start and not waited until
they were whipped into line the insur-
gent congressman would not have
dared to leave the reservation as they
have done. However, the interest Of
the public will be involved only as the
whole tariff question is discussed. The
people will not mourn the lowering of
tariff duties on refined sugar, for it will
result in cheaper sugar to the consum-
er, and the people are in a good frame
of mind for lower tariff duties, anyway.
If the admittance of all refined sugar at
the same rate as raw sugar will destroy
the benefits of reciprocity to Cuban
sugar, the bill proper should make
still further reduction in favor of Gu
ban raw sugar, but the probabilities
the differential amendment, and since
it is plain that the beet sugar men
passed the amendment for the sole pur-
pose of killing the Cuban bill, not
wanting the differential tariff removed
at all, it would serve them right If the
senate should pass the bill as it stands.
The people of this country today favcr
lower tariffs. They would not resent
beginning on sugar.

"The real democratic issue-to get
into of1ice!" exclaims the Boone News.

| The Davenport Democrat is of the
opinion that "The appointment Of any
| hardly compensate for the retirement
of Minister Conger, which the presi-
dent is said 10 have in mind. Mr.. Con-
ger upheld the dignity and the honors
of the United States in most trying
days, displaying degree of personal
bravery that won him loud praise. He
deserves to retain his post as long as
he represents his country, and wants
the place"

heavens sake, let the town grow, you
can't tell what might happen"
The New Sharon Star says: "All talk
about Hanna, Fairbanks, or anybody
else for president in 1904 is premature.

tention to that matter. The one matter

the election of republican congress.

"How much of our boosted liberation

SOLVED TINE MYSTERY.
A. J. littell Passes Over to that Couatry from
whose Boarn No Traveller Returas.

Word reached here "Wednesday
by telegram that A. ]. Littell had
succumbed to his ailment in San
Francisco on the night of April 2eth.
Thursday the remains of deceased
arrived here, accompanied by Mrs.
A. J. Littell, and escorted from Wa
buska by a number of Brother Work
men, and were taken to deceased's
late residence on Main street.
Something over a year ago Mr..
Littell suffered stroke OF paralysis,
and since that time has been gradu-
ally failing. He received the aid OF
resident physicians here up to about
month ago, when it was thought
best to take him to San Francisco to
consult with physicians there. This
was done, and the best doctors in
that city were consulted, but they
extended but very little hope of re-
covery. Mr.. Littell was taken to
the Lane Hospital. and all that could
possibly be done for his welfare was
done by the doctors, a faithful wife
and devoted friends. The end came,
as above stated on the night of April
79th.
A. J. Littell was an old resident OF
Mason Valley, having come here
from his native State, New York, in
1879. For some years he WAS in the
store business, at one time served as
County Commissioner, and eft late
years prscticed law and acted AZ
Notary Public for this district. AT
the time of his death he was aged Is
years. He leaves widow to mourn
his loss, also two children by for
| mer wife, F. L. Littell, of this place,
and Mrs. Klla Downey, of Dayton,
besides many friends i'll this com.
munity. Mr.. Littell was a charter
member of Anchor Lodge No. IL, A.
o. U. W., and his funeral will take
place tomorrow morning at II o'clock
from the Methodist Church under
the auspices of the Lodge. The
widow and children have the heart
felt sympathy of this entire CON-
munity.
