GOSSIP AND CHAT HEARD IN
WASHINGTON HOTEL LOBBIES
Changes in the, Kentucky Delegation.

There will be four new members IN
the Kentucky delegation in the House
this fall" said Col. John S. Rhea. OF
Kentucky. in the lobby of the New VIII
lard, yesterday. Colonel Rhea was elect
ed to the present Congress. but his seat
was contested by Hon. ]. Mckenzie
Moss, and the House, by a party vote,
seated the latter early last winter.
Colonel Rhea has been renominated
by the Democrats OF the Third Congress
sional district. and according to his
friends, he will carry the district by a
pronounced majority.
THE changes made In the delegation.
he said yesterday. "are as follows: Ollie
James succeeds Wheeler In the First,
A. Stanley will take the place of Allen
in the Second. Swager Sherley has been
nominated in the Fifth to make the race
against Irwin. the incumbent. who is a
Republican, and this time the Democrats
are sure to carry the Louisville district.
In the Tenth district Frank A. Hopkins
will be elected. He defeated Representa-
tive W mite LOT the 0OInlndtlOH All tue
other members of the delegation.
Messrs. Smith, Gooch. Trimble. Gilbert,
Kehoe and Boreing have been renomi-
mated and will be reelected.
THE issues of the campaign Will be
the trusts. tariff and the Philippines.
and on all three issues we have the
Republicans on the defensive. The Re-
publicans are shouting against the
trusts, but everybody knows the Re-
publican party is owned and controlled
by the trusts. And as for the tariff. why.
in the West, where we will undoubtedly
make gains, the Republicans are hope
lessly divided on the tariff. In my judg-
ment. the prospects of Democratic sue
cess this fall are exceedingly bright
Colonel Rhea will shortly leave for
Maine, where he is scheduled to deliver
series of Democratic speeches during
the campaign. He is one of the best
campaign speakers in the Blue Grass
State

Philippines Policy Costly.

"A year ago the revenues of the Gov
ernment exceeded the expenditures by
more than a million dollars. Today the
deficit for the past fiscal year is some
thing like $4,000, ,OOO," said Representa-
tive Philip D. McCulloch, of Arkansas,
at the Metropolitan. last evening "It
is true the war revenue taxes were In
full force this time a year ago, but
those repealed last session would not
have created the present deficiency in
the revenues of the Government had
due economy been observed by the ma
jority in Congress.
THE fact is, the deficiency is largely
the result of the Administration Phil
ippine policy. Just think for a moment.
We are reputs:i 20 be at peace with
the world no war is in sight, no prep
aration for war, and yet our army, since
the first day of July of the present
year. has cost us over s22, ,000,0 00O 1t
didn't cost much more than that when
we were at war with Spain. This ex-
pense for the army, however is really
the cost of our control in the Philip
pines. And this phase of the ques
tion will be thoroughly discussed on the
stump during the campaign. The peo
pie want the tariff taxes reduced; the
President has asked for lower tariff
taxes for Cuban products to help the
Cubans. but how can We reduce the
tariff when the receipts of the Govern
ment do not meet expenditures? The
Republicans do not intend to reduce the
tariff because the trusts are opposed to
tariff reduction, and this is one ex-
Ilanation for the appropriations au-
thorized at the last session of Con-
gress, appropriations reaching nearly
Il billion dollars. The people under
stand this, and hence will vote for the
Democratic candidates for Congress

Slow, ah, slow, the shadows grow
Round the buildings tall,
And the sunset jewels go
From the dead days pail;

Yet there burns a vesper star
Star of hope for me.
Lone, indeed, the hours seem
Where the shadows fall;
Tell me, will not any gleam
Light the gloom at all?
