April and Present



Democratic Senators ut Washington
are unit for party representation as
well as party principle. They will pro-
test earnestly against the proposed plan
of the Republican leaders to reduce
their representation on the Committee
on Claims, Irrigation and Commerce.
They have no objection to the Rcpubl-
cans increasing their own membership
on all the Senate committees so long
as they leave Democratic representation
untouched, but they have strong OBJ
jections to any plan which will tend to
lessen Democratic prestige in commit
tee work. The attitude of the minority
was clearly defined in resolution
which was unanimously adopted by the
Democratic caucus yesterday afternoon.
The caucus was called by Senator Jones
and was the first meeting of Demo-
cratic Senators that has been held to
discuss party questions since the OPEN
ing of the iifty-seventh Congress.
Senator Jones was reelected chair
man of the caucus, position which
he will hold, unless lie voluntarily with
draws in the meantime, for two years.

That Republicanism and Democracy,
| the two great American forces born
of principles that have divided senti-
ment since the foundation of this gov
eminent. now stand face to face be-
| fore the country In their proper align
ment is fact not to be regretted by
those who desire consistent settle
ment of existing issues.
There is no present need and no ex-
cuse for the organization or mainten-
ance of other political parties in this
country. The questions to be passed
upon In the near future are primal in
their nature and were long ago
weighed and analysed by Republican
and Democratic thinkers respectively.
The paramount issue Is that of govern
ment by and for privileged class mt
the sacrifice of the rights of many, or
government by and for the many ut
the sacrifice of the unjust privileges Of
the few. The Republican party stands
for the privileges of the few. The
/ Democratic party stands for the rights
of the many.
The truth of this continued align
ment is plain. In the approaching ses-
sion of the Fifty-seventh Congress the
representatives of Republicanism will
be found voting for the unfolding of
the trust power, for the passage of the
S1SO,O0O,O00 ship-subsidy bill taxing
the people for further enrichment of
the syndicates, for the maintenance Of
the Dingley high-tariff law embodying
the principle which created and still
fosters the trusts, for whatever col
onial policy may be dictated by the
trusts. In each instance named the
Democratic party will be found fight
Ing for the rights of the people as
against these influences Of the priv
ilege. There has never been time
when the two great parties were more
clearly and distinctively arraycd one
against the other.
That the people understand how
definite is the approaching conflict be.
tween Democracy and Republicanism
is Indicated by the practical elimina-
ton of smaller and inconsequent DO
litical parties from the field of battle.
There will not be one Populist or silver
Republican member of the United
States in the approaching session. The
National Congress will represent with
eXactness the existing alignment of the
American people. The two great par.
ties will exclusively occupy the field
in the political contests of 1902 and
1904. This fact is full of promise for
Democratic victory. The party of the
people has never been stronger, more
aggressive or better organized than
now.--St. Louis Republic.

HAND GUIDE FOR PIANOS.

One of the chief difficulties to be over
come in mastering the piano is the ten
dency of the hands to assume an incor-
rect position, the desire to drop the
wrists seeming to be fault with all
pupils. William Bohrer, Of Montreal,
Que, believes that his hand guide
shown herewith-will aid greatly in
overcoming this fault, besides auto
matically raising the hands to the prop
err level when playing on the black keys.

or hinder. The party leaders welcome all
the grist which comes to their mill; they
do not reject any fuel which makes
steam; they accept every element which
increases the enthusiasm, and they hon
estly desire the sympathy and co-opera-
ton of women. But in politics neither
the labors nor the opinions of women
have any appreciable influence unless ell
forced by the ballot. There are object
lessons without number to prove this as
sertion.
Would it not show more wisdom, COM
mon sense and self-respect in women to
organize and work to make themselves a
part of the electorate before they labor
in behalf of any political party? No one
party or one class of men will ever en-
franchise women, but it will have to be
done by combination of the friends in
