SENATOR oULseRsoMs SURPRISE,

The surprise sprung 10y Senator Culberson in the
senate on Tuesday significant as we'll as dramatic
It was significant showing the resources Of the dem

attention to the administrations policy of suppression

Senator Culberson has been attempting to get nfor
nation from the department concerning the
charges Of Private Andrew x Weir against Lieutenant
T P Arnold and the report thereon by Captain p. W.
West AS the matter concerns the atrocities in tuc
Philippines. the department is exceedingly 10th
to give mp the information. Therefore the adminstra,
ton have been putting of the resolution from
day to day and at length when the matter pressed
a vote it referred 10 the Philippines committee
which practically means that It indefinitely laid
the table.
on Wednesday Senator Culberson sprang his sur.
prise He presented the papers which he had in vain
attempted to get by his resolution. He refused to tell
where he had gotten them, but there they were Sena
tor Beverdge and other republican senators repeatedly
tried to learn how Senator Culberson had come into
possession of the documents which the administration
and the war department wished to suppress. But that
was Senator Culbersons secret. He refused to say
anything than that the person from whom the
papers secured not connected with the war
department and that, therefore the papers could not
have been furnished directly by General Miles whom
Senator Beveridge seemed TO think had obtained the
papers for the Texas senator.
Senator Culberson is doing a great work for the
country in checkmating the administration its policy

THE COMING CAMPAIGNS.

1t Is An ascertained fact. perfectly well known
the student of political history that the presl
dental elections of 1896 and 1900 won by the re.
publicans because of the of the gold democrats
and the independents.
In 1896 the Palmer Buckner revolt not only drew
many democratic voters away from the reguor Bryan
ticket to the support of these political men of straw
but countless others who had always voted the demo
cratic ticket were influenced by the revolt to SO out
right into the Mckinley camp and cast republican
ballot.
In both OF these campaigns the great body of indie
pendent voters were all gold men. There was some
thins in the argument for Sound money as the gold
democrats and the republicans called it. which an.
peaed peculiarly to the independent voter. The argr
ment was pitched by the artful managers of the cam
paigns in such to touch the conscience OF the
Independent voter and the Independent voter follows
his conscience like a jack o lantern.
Now, this conscience of the independent voter is
what is going count in the congressional campaign
in the fall and in the presidential campaign in 1904
The independent voter does not believe In Philippine
