when Sousa gave a signal and his ban

laughter that went round the audi

a oar that gave way in its turn to
much self-satisied cheering when the

A REPUBLICAN KNocKpowN.

BY the cooperation OF the almost solid
Democratic vote and a large number of
Republican boilers in the house Fri
day the Republican organization was bad
ly beaten and the sugar trust which has
for several years past had complete con-
troll of both branches of congress received
a very severe blow.
The Democratic caucus had decided TO
support the custom reciprocity bill, not
because II was satisfactory, but because 1t
gave some measure of relief to a people
upon whom our present tariff provisions
bear very oppressively. The reduction of
20 per cent from the Dingley tariff duties
which the bill carries is far less than JUS
tice and considerations of national honor
demand, but It is something. But for the
support of the Democrats Cuba would
have gotten nothing from the house of
representatives and the power Of the SUI
gar trust would not have been curbed.
While the large Republican element
which is opposed TO any reciprocity with
Cuba went down before a force which had
TO depend absolutely upon Democratic
aid for it's success. the other Republican

Cuban reciprocity bill the Democrats stood
practically solid for the measure with the
amendment that provides for the abolition
of special favors to the sugar trust which
congress has enabled to ride the people
Of this country for years.
A very large per cent of the Republicans
Joined with the Democrats to defeat the
leaders who have been directing the pro-
gram of the party which controls congress
and to overrule the chairman of the COM
mittee of the whole who had been put
in possession Of the gavel to carry out the
program agreed upon by the Republican
caucus.
The Democrats in congress and in the
country have grown more tolerant of each
other. more in the humor to lay aside
their differences on questions that are
settled, at least for the present. They are
better united than they have been since
the silver issue rent the party and caused
fits defeat in two presidential campaigns
and several congressional elections.
We hear nothing now of reading out"
Democrats and requiring those who differ
ed with a majority of the party to take
seats on the mourners' benches. The party
could never have been put into victorious
form by any such proscriptive policy. For
It has been substituted the good sense and
honorable plan Of forgetting past differ
ences and getting together on issues upon
which all Democrats are practically
agreed.
The men who were most prominent In
refusing to accept the Democratic plat
form of 1896 are now recognized as essen
tial TO Democratic success next November
and in the presidential contest of 1904.
Democratic harmony, which, only 1T
tie while ago seemed a vain hope, is al
ready an accomplished fact.
It seems likely that history will repeat

president and secured control of both

The prevalent Democratic conviction
now is that the fusion with Populism in
1896 and the repetition of that act in 1900
were the plumbers to which the defeats
the party has sustained in recent years
must be attributed and, now that the free
silver issue is dead, all the signs point to
Democratic victory next November.

element which is absolutely subservient
to the sugar trust suffered an even more
notable defeat solely because the Demo
Gratis made possible the amendment to
the bill which cuts into the illegitimate
profits of the sugar trust. The scene in
the house when this amendment was Of
fered was one of the most exciting that
has been witnessed there in years.
The chairman Of the committee Of the
whole attempted to make short work of
the amendment by ruling 1t out Of order
as being not germane to the subject. His
ruling was appealed from and for the
first time in many years a Republican
chairman of the committee Of the whole
in a Republican house was overruled.
This caused such a commotion as is sell
dom seen in congress. Had result like
it been accomplished in the British house
OF commons the cabinet would have re-
signed at once and a general election
would have been ordered. 1t was a dis
tinct and emphatic vote Of no confidence.
Not only in this most important clash,
but in every skirmish the Republicans
who were arrayed to carry out the pro-
gram of their party caucus were routed
The Republican leaders who had hitherto
had their own way were run over rough
shod and the tariff reform element gained
q victory all along the line.

shape before Fridays events. 1t is
now worse divided than u was before and
It is hard to see how tl1e boilers can be
brought into line on any question affect
ing the governments fiscal policy toward

The senate has yet to pass upon the
matter and the hold of the sugar trust
upon a majority of that body is so strong
that the amendment which was placed on
the reciprocity bill Friday will probab-
ly be taken off. The sugar trust is conf
dent that when the bill reaches the SEN
ate that it will get the knife. But its
emasculation there will arouse Q degree
of popular indignation and so widen the
breach that already exists in the Repub-
lican ranks that the cause of real reform
will be greatly strengthened.

MASSACHUSETTS PULLS BACK.

We have long been convinced that If
the legislatures Of the states could get an
opportunity TO vote on the proposition to
amend the federal constitution so as TO
elect United States senators by direct vote
OF the people more than a sufficient num-
Der Of them would do so. We are equally
confident that no such opportunity will
be given.
The house OF representatives has voted
three times and each time by an increas-
ing majority 70 submit an amendment to
the constitution for popular senatorial
elections and the senate has each time
either refused to consider the resolution
or rejected It by a decided majority.
The United States senate would consid-
er It an insult II 1T were told that the
people do not trust It, and yet it has
shown repeatedly and in the most en-
phatic manner that 1t does not the peo-
pie.
The senate should not forget that dis
trust begets its like.
The senate instead OF rejecting out and
out the plan Of popular election Of sena-
tors has resorted this time 10 the make
shift of loading down the house bill with
a federal election law which insures its
defeat.
An excellent and. we think. conclus-
i've proof that the people of all parties in
all parts OF the country are in favor of
amending the constitution so as to have
senators elected directly by the people
has been given in the declaration of many
legislatures In the several general sec
tons in favor of that policy. Rarely has
such a proposition been rejected by any
legislature TO which It was submitted. The
Georgia legislature by a large majority Of
both houses has declared for it several
times.
The legislature Of Massachusetts has
recently shown that IT is not in harmony
with this prevalent popular demand.
Its two senators differ as widely as the
polls on several other questions Of public
policy, but they are as one in their oppo-
sition 10 this reform.
Their legislature follows their lead and
holds up Massachusetts, conspicuously as
a deterrent Of progress.
Senators Hoar and Lodge have been en-
dorsed at home, but they must be aware
that they are out of tune with the great
majority Of the American people on this
very important subject.

STILL MORE PENSIONS.

A bill has been passed by congress and
signed by the president which applies
army retiring laws and pay to the officers
of the revenue cutter service.
This bill establishes the first civil pen
sion list in the United States.
It's passage had been urged for several
years.
The officers of the revenue cutter service
are undoubtedly efficient and faithful but
their retirement for age or physical dis
qualification with three-fourths pay will
constitute a preference and precedent to
which other classes of government en-
ployes, equally worthy and faithful, may
point when asking for similar generous
treatment. The Marine hospital, weather
bureau, railway, postal, and life-saving
services, may claim public consideration
on grounds no less valid and convincing
than those which served to convince con-
gress and the executive that civil PEN
sion list should be made a unique feature
of the revenue cutter division of the treas
ury department.
We already lead all other nations in the
matter of pensions, paying $15O,0OO,0OO a
year for military pensions, an amount

any other, though it is much smaller than
that of any other great country. The
bill to which we have referred will add
a large sum to the already enormous pen
sion expenditures and the fact that Pen
sion Commissioner Evans has just been
forced from office because he insisted up
on a strict construction of our pension
laws and rules indicates a growing spirit
of recklessness in the granting of pen

THE CHINESE MOVING OUT.

The senate has rejected the Chinese ex-
clusion bill which was submitted to 1t by
the committee and passed the substitute
which is by no means so extreme meas
ure as the original. The main difference
between this bill and the present law is
that It extends the Chinese exclusion to
the insular possessions Of the United
States The idea that our country will be
overrun by Chinese immigration unless
some more drastic law for their exclusion
shall be enacted is not justified by rea-
sonable deduction from what has hap
pened in the last fifteen years.
The Geary law has proved far more eff
fective than it was first thought 1t would
be and there is no good reason for car
rying our policy of Chinese exclusion be-
yond the point to which that act goes, ex-
cept to Apply it to the newly-acquired ter
ritory of the United States.
Not only has the number Of Chinese in
this country been prevented from in
creasing, but it has actually dimin-
ished very materially since the
Geary law was put upon the statute
books twelve years ago. At that time
there were 1O7, 4SS in the United States. In
1900 their number had shrunk to 1888.
California is the state to which the Chi
nese problem is most important and the
present exclusion act has certainly been
very effective there. In 1890 the number
of Chinese in California was 72,472. In
stead of increasing since that time the
number has fallen of so greatly that by
1900 It had decreased to As, 1853. The Chi
nese population has fallen off 16 per cent
for the entire country and SO per cent for
California since 1890.

MEMORIAL DAY.

It is possible that the 2sth Of April,
which comes a week from today, will be
observed this year as Confederate Me-
mortal Day for the last time.
Not that there is the slightest prospect
that the beautiful and patriotic custom
of decorating the graves of the Confeder-
ate dead will ever fall into disuse. Me-
mortal Day is observed now as generally
and with quite as much enthusiasm as it
was twenty years ago.
But the proposition to establish one an
niversary of this character for the entire
south is gaining favor so fast that we
shall not be surprised to see it adopted
by the United Confederate Veterans as
ISOLATION at it's meeting next week.
Four different days have been adopted
for this holy service. There was no con-
cert Of action among the states which
determined to set apart a day for this
purpose. and hence it was natural that
this diversity should have occurred.
The Ladies' Confederate Memorial as
ISOLATION of New Orleans originated a few
months ago the movement to set apart
June 8. the birthday Of Jefferson Davis
as the general Memorial Day. The idea
was taken up at once and has met with
Increasing favor. A number of veterans
organizations have declared for this prop
osition. -.
1t is to be formally presented to the
Confederate reunion at Dallas, and to the
United Daughters of the Confederacy at
their next meeting. If both of these or
ganizations approve it. as it seems likely
that they will, all the southern states will
after this year observe the birthday of
President Davis as the day on which to
especially honor both his memory and
that Of the heroes Of the Confederate
army.
