Mr.. Tillman's Charges.

Mr. NcLaurin of South Carolina was

charge that his vote for the ratification of
the Paris peace treaty had been secured by
tie use of patronage The request was made
through Mr.. Pritchard. and the resolution

The New Democratic Chairman.

The democrats CT the House have not
arranged their plans for the fall campaigns
precisely as was expected. Their first
thoughts were of putting experienced
eastern democrat at the head Of their con-
glessional committee. They reasoned that
as the lower southern states were all safe
for solid delegations through the operations
of the local election laws, democratic hopes
of controlling the next House must center
in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
and in several of the middle states. This
seemed to call for a man familiar and in
touch with the political sentiment in those
sections, and able by reason of that fact to
equip himself well with the sinews of war.
Somehow just me man wanted was not
found, and Mr.. Griggs of Georgia was
CT osen. A new figure in our national life,
he is yet very much respected by those
who know him, and it is promised by his
SPONSORS that he will acquit himself well
OF his important duties. Among his lieu
teEants it is understood, will be Lewis
Nixon of New York and eX-Congressman
Cable of Illnois-two young men of large
wealth-and in this way the original calcu-
lations are to indirectly carried out.
For probably to Mr.. Nixon the manage
ment of the eastern end of the campaign
will be intrusted. and to Mr.. Cable the
middle state section of it, leaving to Mr..
Griggs general supervisory duties and time
sufficient to properly attend to them
1t should not be overlooked that in the
little racket over the choice of the District
member of the committee. Mr.. German
scored as against Mr. Bryan. The Bryan
men were bitterly opposed to Mr. Norris.
and presented theic views to the committee
with some spirit. But they didn't get Il
vote. Mr.. Norris was chosen unanimously.
and the fact that he recently declared for
Mr.. German for President in 1904 is now
of some interest. At any rate the Bryan
ties were completely ignored in that selec-
ton. and Mr.. German secures a chair for :,
friend and supporter not very far from the
head of the table.
Another consideration is that this selec-
ton may signify that the big corporations
and the business interests are not to figure
very largely in the denunciatory prattle of
the campaign orators this year. Mr.. Wat
terson may have to suppress. or withdraw
for retouching, his we'll stuffed and highly
cClored bogy, the Robber Baron. Mr.. Nor
rls Is himself business man Of success,
moves in the circle of SUCH and in inter-
viewing his friends about campaign contri-
nate, or repeat with favor, any animadver-
siCns on those who flourish, although they
are not among the hardest Of the toilers
or the busiest Of the spinners. Dust, not
CUFF, seems now to be the watchword.

canery. 1t was field day for the senior
senator from South Carolina both in the
matter of strong language and broad impu-
tations. Nobody seemed to mind but his
colleague.
But It was In order for Mr.. McLaurfn
to mind, for he had been attacked specific
ally. The gravest Of charges had been
brought against him both as man and
senator. He could not have failed to take
notice except at The loss Of character, and
in taking notice there was strong tempta-
ton and almost an excuse for the very
emphatic language he employed. He Offend
ed against the rules of the Senate, how
ever, and very properly was censured. Still,
he is entitled to formal hearing on the
larger and more important question IN
volved and as he has asked for 1t his re-
quest should be granted
When the senatorial campaign opens In
South Carolina this matter will cut figure.
The fight against Mr.. McLaurfn is waged
not alone upon the votes he cast for re-
publican measures, but upon the allegation
that those votes were obtained corruptly
b.; Mr. Mckinley. Mr.. Tillman makes the
cl arge, and the Senate ought to require him
to give everything he possesses In the way
of a reason for inference to support it.
Talking through ones hat at the expense
of character is a performance that should
not be tolerated in the Senate.

The Memorial Bridge.

The Senate District committees action
yesterday in approving the proposed APP
preparation of 100000 for the commence
ment of work on the Memorial bridge puts
the project in fair way of success at this
session. The sundry civil bill. which has
always been the vehicle for this item, has
just been reported to the House and will
doubtless in the course of few days reach
the Senate, where. there is every reason to
expect. the provision for start on the
bridge will be added. This action will fol-
low the custom in other years. when the
Senate has almost regularly added this
same amendment. only to yield later either
10 it's entire elimination or the adoption of
a slightly cOmpensating compromise.
There are strong reasons why the houses
should agree this year upon the Item, thus
modestIy put forward. Next autumn the
Grand Army of the Republic will meet
here probably for the last time in Wash
ington, and it has been strongly urged
upon the President by representatives of
both the northern and southern armies
that steps be taken to insure the formal
starting of the work upon this great
national memorial to American patriot
ism in connection with that assemblage.
The union of both federal and con-
federate veterans in preferrfng this re-
quest has struck a strongly sympathetic
note in the breasts of the people, who have
thus been brought to realize the practical
as well as the sentimental nature of the re-
union of the states. The laying of the
corner stone of the bridge structure next
October could be planned upon a scale and
under such auspices as to become one of
the great historical events of the country's
history 1t is easy to foresee the enthu-
siasm which such an incident might arouse
in both the north and the south. and to
estimate the benefcent results of such
demonstration of brotherliness. -e"
This can be accomplished only if Con-
gress will provide the means now for the
starting of the work. Then, too, the filing
of the park commissions plans puts the
Memorial bridge project upon the basis of
immediate execution, for this enterprise
affords the most likely opportunity for a
practical beginning upon the grand scheme
of capital development There IS no other
item in the long list of betterments yet to
be accomplished which presents such an
opportunity for early action. Congress
stands pledged to the Memorial bridge, the
government. at the direction of Congress,
has adopted plans under the competitive
system. and all that remains is the pro-
vision of the funds. The Senate District
committee has done we'll to start in motion
seasonably the processes to complete the

Cuban Home Rule Impending.

From the Boston deral0.
The date Of May 20 is now fixed as the
time at which Cuba Is to enter upon the
experiment Of self-government. We char
acterize her undertaking in this regard as
an experiment because We have the opin-
ion that very few people have confidence
that 1t will be permanent in endurance

so to regard 1t, and 1t will hardly be claimed
that there Is more than limited opinion In

Springfield Republican, q newspaper highly
favorable to Cuban independence. admits
that there is universal distrust'' of It's gov
ernment's continuance. OF what Is the
opinion in Cuba itself, we know little; In

on the subject there. 1t has not yet been
made apparent to the outside world. The
clear and creditab|e point In the case as re-
CARDS this country Is that we are to leave
the Cuban government to credit or to dis
credit itself. We have prepared the way
for its Inauguration. and will place no OBJ
stacie to prevent 1t having fair trial in
operation. Our preliminary work toward
the revival of Cuban industry might have

Cubans of this region remember them with

distinct name and to yield a compact series
Of derivatives But there seems to be mis-
understanding and friction still among the
constructive philologfsts- For instance, the
verb meaning to travel by an automatic
carriage Is variously stated. with an un-
fortunate tendency to lengthen its syllable
arrangement. The New York Times In
passing comment upon the speed regula-
lions OF the metropolis employs the word
"automobilfzing," q lingual concoction
which the general public cannot be ex-
pected calmly to tolerate. On the other
hand. the equally Objectionable verb ito
mobe," for which some contend, shows
some signs Of adoption. It may be recalled
that during the bicycle craze few years
ago the verb ito bike" became more or
less popular. but was frowned upon by the
students of language. The slanging ten
dency of moderns has produced curious
specimen Of word-mangling in this connec-
ton Springing, 1t may be believed. from
the verbal contortions of pair of German
dialect comedians, the name "automobub-
Bile" has been facetiously adopted in some
quarters. and from this atrocity has come

display the radical tendency in the adapta-
ton of language to the passing phases Of
science and custom.

Thornburg was laid to rest. Rev. Kelly

Geo. j. Thornburg was born in Sono-

and came to Idaho with his parents
when quite young. On Nov. 4, 1891, he
was married at Moscow to Miss Nellie
