DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.

Yesterdays telegraphic advices indi-
cate that the leading Democrats of the
country are extremely hopeful that the
next congress OF the United States
will by Democratic, and information
from other sources shows that the hope
is reflected by strongly defined fear
on the part OF eminent Republicans
that the democratic view is not
groundless.
A conservative view of the situation
is convincing that there Is good rea-
son for the Republican fearfulness
fractional differences caused largely by
the unsatisfactory distribution OF pa
tronage. are splitting the ranks of the
party in the pivotal state of New York,
Illinois. Indiana. Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Republican organizations there in
of strengthening their bulwarks and
aiming their shafts against a common
foe, are bending their energies toward
the disruption of rival Republican
factions.
On top of this condition of internal
dissension, baiioting day will find the
people arrayed against the policies
which are being perpetuated by Re
publican Congress in Washington. The
complete control of that body by the
trusts and monopolies. and its COM
plete disregard for the people.
is being shown more certainly In every
contest. and will furnish sinews of war
to be reckoned witt when the Congress
sional elections come about again. The
Republican tendency to override every
without considering the con-
sequences has almost reached point
were n revolution is the logical re-
suit. Far-sighted Republicans see this.
and their realization OF the situation
adds another to the encouraging signs
OF Democratic prospects.

ANOTHER TRUST VICTORY.

The Republicans of the House have
terminated tneir haggling over the
percentage OF relief TO be granted
Cuba by determining TO give her no
relief at all. The administration, which
by some unaccountable means-prob-
ably because President Roosevelt
thought it expedient from the stand
point of popular approval-had in the
words of a humorous Democratic Con-
gressman, been infused with 20 per
cent of Democracy, was compelled TO
relinquish even the "Sibley compro-
mise" which provided for twenty
per cent. reduction on Cuban products.
limiting the time to December /. 1903.
This defeat of justice for Cuba is
the work of the beet~sugar manu-
facturers, who saw in the reduction of
the tariff on that staple article
diminution of their enormous profits.
No less an authority on the beet-sugar
business than Henry T. Oxnard, OF
California, confesses that with sugar
on the free list and the beet raiser re-
ceiying the same for his product tnat
he now does. there is ample profit in
the business for the manufacturer who
does not want the whole earth. The
trouble is. this particular branch OF
al f@ fnn hnn.alee,a, a
minority, and his interest IN the peo-
pie is too lukewarm, to influence
legislation. The hogs OF the beet
sugar trust are in the saddle, and for
an infant industry they are doing
some pretty fancy riding.
The only reason advanced for deny
ing an adequate measure of relief to
Cuba is that If the demands OF the
beet~sugar men are not needed they
can make much trouble by pressing
the BabCock free iron and steel bill and
the free wood-pulp, nlQes, lumber and
glass resolutions and getting them on
the Cuban bill as amendments" $
is decidedly cOnsoling, in the face OF
the fact that ON not one of the articles
named Is any duty needed either for
protection or for revenue, the only
aim of these tariffs peIng Tor bounty
and monopoly.
1t does not greatly matter, so far
as relief to Cuba and justice to the
Cuban planter IS concerned. whether
me full measure of tariff is maintained
or reduction Of 20 per cent. be grant
ed In the latter case the Cuban plant
ers would stuI be below the profit line.
ana being without capital or credit,
their situation Is hopIess To the cold
blooded viewers of tine economic situa-
tion in the United States this would
not be SO serious were II not for the
fact that it Will enable the trusts to
maintain an exorbitant price and con-
tlnue to reap unreasonable profits on
one of the commonest of necessities.
From the partisan standpoint of the
Democrat the situation is a most
pleasant one to contemplate, for most
excellent campaign material is being
made by the trust-fostering, bounty
bound Republican majority in Con-
gress.

AMBASSADOR CLAYTON.

1t will scarcely surprise anyone that
our ambassador to Mexico should be
accused of attempting to feather his
nest while discharging duties for the
United States that endow him with
artificial Importance and great in
tluence. Powell Clayton is of that class
of commercial statesmen who regard
public office as a private snap and
never fail to take advantage of op-
portunities to swell their pocket
books either at the expense of the tax
payer or of the honor or the govern
ment.
Clayton graduated in the school of
carpet-bag politics in Arkansas. He
was the forerunner of Hanna and FL
kins and men of that character who
calculate on agitating the stock mar
ket every time they cast vote. Clay
ton is almost the sole survivor of the
band OF pirates who ruled and robbed
the PROSTATE states of the south i'm
1nedIately following the Civil War. He
would not be true to his nature If he
klid pnt utilize his official position for
fatx4tn gain.
II must be said for iheodore Roose-
ly6as thsk heretofore he hass not been
able n tolerate with eqnanimity men
of ~ clayton breed. But whom man.
