than their competitors and contempo-

Rlaines and the Harrisons of the re-
publican party have done in the past

revision is necessary and eXpedient, as
the case would seem, the revision will
be made fearlessly, but with Judgment
and knowledge Despite minor dis
agreements the party is sufficiently
harmonious to settle this question
without serious division or radical
discord. There has been no change of
policy or tendency to divergence that
can give hope to the democratic party

solid front against that party and the

WAIT For The EVIDENCE.

1t is thoroughly good law and quite
as excellent common sense to with
hold judgment in cases on trial until
the evidence is all in. While this is a
generally conceded truth people quite
as generally jumps to conclusions of
guilt or innocence and invariably try
the case in advance.
In the matter of the charges against
the American soldiers of cruelty and in
humanity to Philippine natives it would
be we'll to await the evidence before
passing. sentence or adjusting penalties.
The evidence up-to-tiate is hearsay and
the defense has not as yet introduced
its testimony. The matter is being used
In an interior manner in an attempt to
injure the credit of the army and the
administration. Thoughtful persons
with a desire for justice should with
hold judgment.

NO CHANGE IN POLICY.

There has been no change of repub-
lican policy. Notwithstanding the
charges made to this effect by demo-
Gratis and disgruntled political time
servers, the discussion of tariff revision
does not indicate such change. Re-
vision Of the tariff, when this action
becomes necessary, is directly in line
with the republican policy and in
keeping with the spirit of reform which
has characterized the organization
from its inception.
To the republican party new occa-
sions teach new duties" Public ques-
lions assume new aspects and phases

nations outgrow policies as a growing
child its swaddling cloths. Issues, once

paramount Importance to their time,

ture and covers the present. 1t is not
history, but prophecy. Legislators
must deal with the new questions that

n new form and with different relations
to the public good. Congresses and leg

1HE worms OF WISDOM.

A man enjoying the opportunity to
study comparative oratory as heard be-
fore the Grant Club at Des Moines
could not avoid being impressed with
the fact that Iowa's marked influence
in national affairs is founded solidly
upon the merit of Iowa men. Here was
the chosen representative of the new
south, a Virginian whose eloquence had
charmed select audiences from his ma
tive southland to classic Boston, and
with him appeared on the program a
noted citizen Of Iowa. Naturally the
audience looked upon the event as
friendly bout at oratory and every man
considered himself the umpire eager for
the fight to begin.
Both were orators of national fame,
both had subjects of substance and am
pie time for preparation. The lowan
spoke with much reserve and with care,
every phrase had been polished and ev-
cry sentence contained thought, the
oratory was inspiring. 1t was the effort
of a man whose work at Washington
had helped to teach the nation that
when an Iowan spoke he spoke with
wisdom The virginian was eloquent
and entertaining but offered platitudes
for the Iowan's substance, hyperbole in
high c for the Iowan's carefully and
metrically constructed diction and
while the Iowan sent his hearers away
with food for thought the Virginian's.
oratory was enjoyed but soon forgot
ten. The comparison explained the
Iowa pull at Washington. Iowas men
are looked up to because they deserve
it and at no time was the situation
more clearly revealed than at the
Grant Club banquet.

read how that man has gone out and
held the people spellbound with his
cratory. He has read of the gatherings
OF the factions and leaders at the big
city hotels and that mans name was
among them. He has seen how the men
who do things" have taken into con-
sideration where that man would stand
before determining their course.
When the convention gathers, the
young man reads how that man WAS
escorted to the platform and of how
the convention cheered and yelled at
his bright sallies of wit and his vehe-
ment denunciation of the opposition.
Perhaps the young man was sweating
in the burrows of the corn field while
the politician was wiping the sweat of
oratory from the burrows of his brow.
The politician could sway the throng,
where the young man would scarcely
know how to get into the convention
hall But when it came before the bank
official the young man had the power,
could do the swaying.

The LATEST IN DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

Not long since, in the trial of a case
before Judge Tuthill, of Chicago. the
bench saw fit to deliver very start
ling opinion. A woman was before the
court for relief from her husband, who
had for years beaten and abused her.
The proof was plain and evident. Judge
Tuthill advised the woman to kill her
hubsand. He counseled this and other
bands to the effect that they might re-
main within their legal and moral rights
in defending themselves to the death
against personal violence, and ex-
pressed measurable regret at the fall
ure of wives to use lethal weapons in
such defense.
Such admonition, from such a
source, Is naturally somewhat aston
fishing. as well as alarming. Just what
effect upon the death rate would ensue
from its general acceptance by the
wives OF the country is not easy to con-
lecture. Verbal assaults are Outlines
moro cruel than beating, and silence or
neglect sometimes cuts deeper than
either.
II guns are to settle domestic diff
culties that begin with blows, the rem
edy will logically extend to words and
the actions that speak louder. We may
aynact RI COO tho ciy.shoofar a common
utensil of housekeeping economy. The
Winchester may hang alongside the
frying pan and firearms and feather
busters find equal feminine favor on
the bargain counter. Instead of "pis-
tolls and coffee for two" as was the
common order in the days OF the code
duello, there will be coffee for two, but
pistols for but one. Instead of the
blowing up popularity supposed part
Of wifely duty the derelict husband
may then, to borrow cowboy phraseol-
ogy, fear a shooting up"
The real difficulty facing Judge Tut
hills reformatory measure lies in the
inherent weakness of woman. She has
no sense Of accuracy. Unable as she is
to hit house with stone. her gun
cry would only wreak destruction up
on the furniture. The object of her
wrath would be safe so long as he re-
manned stationary. Indeed, it is likely
that many men would prefer an houu
of an average woman's target prac-
tice to her ten-minute curtain lecture.
