THE INSURGENTS.

minnesota in the present congress en-
joys the distinction of having at least
a majority of its representatives. all Of
whom are Republicans acting in omen
hostility in one respect to the accepted
policy of the administration of which
they are part. These men have. more
over, been successful in their hostility
What is it they are contending for?
That question has never been success
fully answered. The latest exposition of
their attitude is that made by Mr.. Taw-
ney, who declares that they will con-
tlnue to stand on the demand for a ra-
bate Of sugar duties as the proper means
of solving the present difficulty about
Cuba. The earliest and most generally
accepted definition of their attitude l.
that they are fighting against the refusal
of their party to tolerate either recin-
rocity or tariff revision with reference
to any other country than Cuba or anv
other commodity than sugar.
Congressman Stevens, If we are not
mistaken, has declared that he and his
associates object to reciprocity being ex-
tended to Cuba, when it is denied to
other peoples. But the motive of these
gentlemen is more generally regarded
as being governed by the assumption
that the sugar trust will get some ad-
vantage by the Cuban proposal which is
denied to the beet sugar manufacturers
Put in different form, the dissident Re
publican congressman object to Cuban
sugar being admitted here at reduced
rates, thereby depriving beet sugar or
the protection which the Dinglev
schedules provide.
It is thus seen that these gentlemen
occupy at one and the same time the at
titude of opposing the protective idea.
and demanding tariff revision, while con-
stituting themselves the protectors of
protection in its application to the spe-
cial interests represented by Mr.. OK
nard and his associates, and resenting
the policy of reducing sugar duties.

An ADuINIsrRAr1oN CHALLENGE.


'The Republican party today stands ir-
revocably committed to the doctrines of
protective tariff" So declares Con-
gresham Grosvenor, Of Ohio, in a
speech which, according to the high au-
thority Of Senator Hanna, struck the
keynote of the approaching national
campaign.
Democratic success would threaten
the destruction of the protective system
under which our splendid prosperity has
come; and the mere shadow of impend-
ing free trade would destroy confidence,
unsettle business, alarm industrial inter-
ests, and Immediately check the demand
for labor"
So declares the Republican platform
adopted at Cleveland on Wednesday.
The Republicans of Kansas, in conven-
ton at Wichita. on the same day, adopt
ed a state platform which declares,
among other Things, as follows:
''The Republican principle of pro-
tective tariff was never more firmly
fixed in our national policy than it IS
now
There is no uncertainty about any
VI I1lCoO dCCldl dLlOIlo. 4DSy dI0 III SII1CI
accordance with the policy of President
Roosevelt, made plain at the opening of
his term, that there shall be no inter-
ference with the existing tariff even
through the negotiation of reciprocity
treaties.
The country knows now what to ex-
pect from the existing national admins
tion and from the party which it repre-
sents in the matter of tariff legislation,
if It is continued in power. After having
declared its determination to establish
closer trade relations with foreign ma
tions through the agency of reciprocity,
and after having avowed as a cardinal
principle of it's national policy the pro-
motion Of American foreign trade, the
country is thus brought face to face with
the broad proposition that the existing
tariff regulations shall not be disturbed,
and that high tariff is an indispensable
part of the national Republican policy
now and at all times.
1t is better that we should have the
situation thus stated. There can now
be no mistake. 1t is a challenge chal-
lenge to the Democratic opposition and
indirectly to the country. What will be
the response? A demand for the remoni-
tization of silver at the rate of 16 to 1?
Perhaps. The immediate future will ret
veal.
Here at any rate is an opportunity Of
fered to the national Democracy to fight
a fight of principle. 1t may be losing
fight, but the party has grown used in
recent times to that sort of fight The
issue thus laid down is the issue of
stagnaticn against progress, of barbarIsm
against civilization. It is the issue Of
the trusts against the people, of the con-
troll Of their own affairs by the masses
as against their control by the trusts and
their representatives in the public life Of
the nation.
Democrats who understand the prin-
ciples of their party would not have laid
out the line Of battle In the approach
ing congressional contests differently,
even were it in their power to do so.

SAVING PROPERTY
OF AMERICANS
fU0Vernor OF Panama Blocking the
Game of the Revolutionary
General.

PANAMA. Colombia, May 29.-The gov
ernor of Panama, Gen. Salazar, said to-
day that he had received news that the
revolutionary general, Herrera, had is
sued decree expropriating all the pro-
duce of Chiriqui province, where many
Americans own plantations.
II advised the American consul general
here, H. A. Gudger, that 1t would be
well to send the United States cruiser
Philadelphia to protect American inter-
ests there" said Gen. SaIazar. Instead
of sending the Philadelphia, however,
Mr.. Gudger directed communication to
Gen. Herrera via Bocas del Toro, In
quiring as to the truth of the statement
that the produce of Chiriqui had been
appropriated Gen. Herrera cannot re-
ceive this communication for two weeks
Therefore, in order to protect the inter
ests of citizens of the United States, I
have ordered the government gunboats
Chucuito and Boyaca to capture the rev.
olutionary vessels which are carrying the
produce exported from Chiriqui prov
inee."
Gen. Salazar said that big engage
ment which should decide the fate of
the rebellion on the isthmus, must be
taking place today at Punfa Pena or
Chiriqui Grande.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

Knee-deep IN the scarlet poppies,
Watst-high in the waving corn,
At the edge of a silver streamlet
They met by chance one morn.
He was a Union soldier
In blue and buttons gay,
And she was a Southern maiden
In a shabby gown of gray.
She looked at his stalwart shoulders,
And face with its healthy tan;
He looked at her cheeks of roses,
And so the tale began.
The poppies yet were sleeping,
And who was to hinder, pray,
If the blue-clad soldier captured
A kiss from the girl in gray?
Every night off duty
He stole from the lines of blue
To meet her under the hve-oaks
In the moonlight and the dew
And 10! when the bugle sounded
And the regiment marched away,
He left a. ring and promise
With the sweet little maid In gray.
After the war was over
And the battle flags were furled,
And the peaceful snow of the orchards
Folded the weary world,
He came again to the village
In the heart of the fragrant May
The bells rang out for bridal
And the blue was wed to the gray.

They are at once the friends and oppo-
nents Of the trusts.
Politically the situation created by
those gentlemen could not be more favor
able to the opposition. The country is
on the side Of the president in demand
ing that a concession be made to Cuba
The offer Of the ways and means COM
nittee was at best but grudging al
lowance Of a fraction Of what Cuba
asked and of what tEe country was will
ing to concede to her. All the substi-
tutes that have been suggested for re-
ciprocal reduction in the tariff duties
of the two countries are either economic
monstrosities, like that of rebate, sug-
gested by Tawney and Morris, or pure
ly unconstitutional makeshffts, like that
suggested by Senator Clapp
OF course the essence of the difficult
ty lies in the refusal of the existing adj
ministration at the very outset of its
existence to consider either reciprocity
treaties or tariff revision. But, while
every intelligent observer recognizes the
truth, it is no less true that the attitude
of Minnesota congressman from this
state at this time and on this subject
is merely one of obstruction. If they
took a position squarely against tariff
exactions, against trust domination, in
favor of reciprocity or of tariff reform,
or could be said to be united in principle
in one single respect with the Demo-
ocratic opposition with which they are
acting in the present situation, their
intelligent constituents, while they might
disagree with them, would at least re-
spect their independence. Their true
situation is simply that they are the
advocates and defenders of private in
terests, and that in their defense and ad-
vocacy they are able to stay the progress
of meritorious public measure.

MURDER GROWS OUT
OF AN ACQUITTAL
One-Armed Flagman WantonIy As
sauIted and Killed by Friends
of McFetridge.

CHICAGO, May 29.-The verdict in the
McFetridge murder trial today was re-
sponsible for murder which occurred
shortly after midnight.
A party of McFetridges friends called
at his house to congratulate him upon
his acquittal and after arranging with
him for dinner on Saturday evening,
at which his liberation was to be cele-
brated, left his house. While walking
down the street the men who had just
left McFetridge, among whom was Wal
ter Nolan, a prize fighter, met John and
Robert Warke. the latter a one-armed
railroad fagman. When called upon to
cheer for McFetridge the Warke brothers
passed on without replying.
Nolan thereupon struck Robert Warke
in the face The recipient Of the blow
turned down upon the prize fighter, but
was struck down with club and died
in few moments. Nolan and his party
were arrested.
McFetridge, who was tried for the muir
der of his brother, was acquitted in the
face of the strongest evidence, and the
jury was severely censured by the judge.
