however, that the republicans are
themselves seriously divided on the
currency question and that they dare
not take any positive steps to make
perfect the establishment of the gold
standard because of the opposition

application of General Miles to visit
the Philippines. on which the presi-
dent recently acted favorably, was the
same one that was filed nearly year
ago. What caused the president to
change his hand, resuscitate this docu.
ment and act favorably on it, after
having original denied the request, is
easily conjectured. The grand army
had determined to invite General Miles
to head their procession at the great
encampment which is to be held in
Washington early next month and it
is believed that the president and his
Secretary of War conceived the idea Of
sending General Miles to the Philip
pines where he would be out of the way
at that time. With that end in view
they granted this old request and the
Generals statement to the newspaper
men, that he knew nothing of the pro
lposed trip, when the subject was first
preached to him, turns out to have
been literally true.

The President is reaping a good har-

be is dragging the presidential robes
through the political mire. The thing
is becoming joke. serious joke, and
he does not seem to see it. There is
always crowd at a free show. and this
massing of the curious who want to
look at any procession is taken by him
for enthusiasm and an Endorsement of
his course, and determination to put
him in another four years. If he
could only see the other side of the
picture he would become enlightened,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular Correspondent

(From our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Sept. 22.-Similtane-
ously with the announcement which
reached Washington, from the confer
ence held at Oyster Bay last week, that
the president would advocate no
changes in the tariff schedules and
would denounce the democratic posi-
ton, and that formerly held by Chair
man BabcOck and still held by many
Iowa and other western republicans,
came the announcement from Illinois
that Senator Cullom had addressed
large audience at Carthage and had
stated that the time for tariff revision
was at hand. while l believe in a
protective tariff said the Senator,
81 do not believe in holding onto high
protective tariff longer than in neces
sary In the interests of the business
and labor of our country. In my judg-
ment, the time has come when reduc-
lions ought to be made In many in
stances" The conflicting statements
Of the republican leaders and Senator
Cullom, who is regarded as power in
Illinois, caused CONSERVATION in repub-
ican circles and Immediately the wires
were hot with messages begging Mr..

liefs in the future. Whether be will
consent to suppress bis views in order
to keep up the pretence of harmonious
party, however, remains to be seen.
At almost the same hour, came the
news that Speaker Henderson had de.
clined to stand for reelection because
be did not represent the views of his
party and yet his position on the tariff
question entirely conincides with that
of the republican leaders and with that
which the president has agreed to up
hold, regardless of his own conyic-
tions, throughout his western trip.
1t is said at democratic headquarters
that, unfortunately for Mr.. Roosevelt,
he has been led by bis advisors to be-
lieve that the capatallstic faction of
his party represents the general senti-
ment and that he will suffer a rude
awakening in the west. It is also
predicted that now the president has
abandoned his heretofore independent
position on public questions. and his
right to think for himself, be will
rapidly forfeit the respect of the in
dependent voters, whose approval be
has had in the past, and that the ey-
entual result of his action will be to
pave the way for great democratic
victory in the next national election.
While disclaiming the intention &C. |
credited to them, of making an attack
on the private character of Speaker
Henderson, the democratic leaders do
not regret the tangible evidence which
his action presents of the serious split |
in his party in the west. They vel |
come this demonstration of the fact
that large portion of the republicans
OF the third Iowa district hold the
same views as themselves and desire to |
see the tariff reduced on trust made
articles. The campaigns which are
being made by the Minnesota, republic |
can candidates leave no doubt Of the
situation 10 that state and even if |
these candidates are elected they will |
come to the Fifty eight Congress-
pledged to vote with the democrats for i
tariff revision.

to hold water and scalding pain, in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
