Berlin, December 5-The reason the gov
erumcnt came to terms with the majority
parties In the rclchStag on the tariff bin
was because It learned Russia was going
10 dcnounce the commercial treaty before
the years end. hence the necessity for
getting the tariff bin passed as quickly as
possible, IN order to have q bass on which
to negotiate a new treaty. The govern
mont also was extremely anxious 10 get
the treuty ratified by the present rcIchstag
and remove the tarif aud treaty questions
from the realm Of practical politics before
the general election u June. In order to
do so more effectively, Indications point to
the governments intention to bring up

Waterbury Democrat., 1902-03-26

At a caucus of the democratic members of the house in Washington recently, which was largely attended, resolutions were unanimously adopted which were offered by Representative Randall of Texas, declaring sympathy for the Boers and pledging the demo- crats in the house to do everything in their power to force the committees of the house having charge of resolutions concerning the Boers to report the same, so that congress may have an opportunity to express the sentiment and will of the American people. The resolution further says that congress should appeal to the British govern ment, in the interest of humanity, to accept overtures for peace; also that the United States should see that the neutrality laws are impartially en- forced. The democrats intend living up to this resolution, and either make the republicans report the Boer reso- lutions or accept responsibility for suppressing them.

If it was some poor cuss with only a few dollars to his back that was riding an automobile at lightning speed as George Gould does he would be i'll the jug long ago, and his machine confiscated. His latest escapade was at Lakewood on Monday when his machine frightened the team of MT Hoyt, the horses became unmanageable and Hoyt and his companion were thrown out and the latter badly in- jured. A New York witness of the affair says the automobile was going from thirty to forty miles an hour.

Some of the state papers seem to be surprised at the program that is said to have been mapped out by the one-to- a-town men in the constitutional con vention. It should not surprise any one who has watched the course of events since the convention opened The advocates of the town rights went to Hartford all primed and ready for business. They had their campaign marked out and they have followed it pretty systematically, and now if they set the day of adjournment so as to fit the case from their view it will only be on q line with what they have already done. Sink or swim, live or die, the country town fellows are going to steer the slip as they have started out. They will dis cover the error of their course when the people get chance to be heard, however At the present time, and maybe for the last time, they are i'll control, and they propose to use their power to the fullest extent

Why did Arr Roosevelt withdraw his

Why did Mir Roosevelt withdraw his opposition to the new force bill pro- gram of the radical republicans? asks a correspondent who then proceeds to answer it as follows: it is known that he was at first opposed to it, and that it would have been abandoned had his opposition continued. If the talk of republicans can be believed, the cause of his somersault is any, thing but creditable to him. They say that his consent to the program, which has been given a fresh start by the action of the house committee on rules in reporting a resolution for the appointment of a committee of thir- teen to investigate the election laws of the states and report to the house, %as obtained by promising him that the report of this committee would be so manipulated that it would be made the excuse for reducing the represen. tation of the southern states in the national republican convention. thus reducing the number of votes that he has reason to fear will be controlled by Senator Hanna and will be against his own nomination for the presidency It seems incredible that man of MI Roosevelt's antecedents should allow himself to be influenced by such a method, but the charge that he was is made by republicans, not openly, of course, but among themselves. Ii the proposed force bill program be carried out, it will unite the demo. cratic party and will elect democrat ic president in 1904

Garfield Lavv Repealed.

COLUMBUS, O., March 26.-The Garfield law, which aimed to prevent corrupt practices at elections, has been wiped off the statutes by the senate passing the bill for its repeal. The leg islature was practically unanimous for the repeal of the measure, the chief ar- gument against it being that it was in- effective and that it placed premium on perjury. The law sought to restrict the amount of money which could be spent by candidates to secure nomi- nation or election by compelling them to file sworn statements of their cam paign expenses. The law was generally evadcd, but there were few prosecu- tions under it.

Speaker Henderson's anxiety about retaining his seat in congress is in creasing, says a correspondent. There is a new lot of trouble for him in the ship subsidy bill, pissed by the senate this week. If MT Henderson, in his role as dictator of the committee on rules, permits that bill to be pushed through the house, he will antagonize Senators Allison and Deliver, both of whom voted against the job and with the fight he already has on his hands he knows that will be a dangerous thing to do. If he hangs up the bill he will offend Senator Hanna, chair mittee, who is especially interested in seeing the bill become a law, and the majority of his party in both sen ate and house Being placed thus .sbetween the devil and the deep sea" it would not be surprising if MT Hen derson lodged this particular ques- ton by refusing to allow the ship sub- sidv bill to be acted upon at this ses- sion of congress, and seeks to square Hanna and the other big supporters of the bill by promising that it shall be put through early in the next session, which will not be unti, after the con- gressional elections

Prince Henry seems to have grasped the main idea in the great reception which the American people have given him, 1. e., that the American right hand of fellowship was extended, not to the monarchical ideal, but to the German people, thus writes one of the editors of the National Yet it would be un- fair to deny that the monarchical idea has been of very great benefit to Amer ica. It has driven to our shores tens of millions of strong, liberty loving men and women, who have become flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone, and have helped America to win her pres ent position of absolute leadership among the nations.
