ure to pass measure providing reci-
procity with Cuba.
The bill which passed the house OF
representatives was heartily supported
by the Democratic minority after the
protection to the sugar trust had been
removed by the solid Democratic vote
aided by a small minority of the Re
publican members AS it passed the
house the bill carried relief to Cuba,
reduced the price of sugar to Ameri-
can consumers and struck a heavy
blow at the notorious and obnoxious
sugar trust. The refusal of the Repub-
llcan senators TO consider this meas
ure unless the protection to the sugar
trust should be restored gives evidence
that the president and the Republican
party in congress are willing to refuse
relief TO Cuba and totally ignore Amer
lean consumers rather than abandon
their alliance with the trusts.
From these declarations it will be
seen that the Democrats favor Cuban
reciprocity, but demand that at the
same time the protection to the sugar
trust Of cent and upward a pound on
refined sugar, known as the differen-
tal duty. should be abolished. That
proposition was passed by the house
of representatives, the vote being:
Yeas, 1879; nays, 105; 81 Republicans
voting with the Democrats. See Con
gressional Record, April Is, 1902, page
46t0.
The minority faction Of the Republic
an party thus voted with the Demo
Gratis, making the majority for the abb
clifton Of the protection to the sugar
trust.
The bill then passed the house as
amendcdyeas, 2l7; nays, 52-but the
senate refused to adopt it.
The whole fight will be repeated
when congress meets, and it will be in
teresting to watch the votes Of the Re
publican members and see how they
line up, for or against the administra-
ton programme. The Democrats will
offer the same amer smcnt to abolish
the dlilerential duty on refined sugar
which gives shelter to the trusts and
adds at least | cent Il pound to all sug-
mr. consumed in this country.

A RIDICULOUS HuLLARALOO.

Under the caption OF VA Ridiculous
Hullabaloo the Milwaukee Evening
Wisconsin of December % contains
the following sensible article Ia re-
gard to the political struggle which Is
now going on in Great Britain:
"The admirers Of losepk Chamber
lain have made deal of noise about
the choice OF three members of parlia,
meut in the districts of Dundolaud,
Lewisham and Woolwich The clac.
quers OF Chamberlain have insisted
that these three elections determine
the fate of the next parliament, 1t
should not he forgotten THAI tho for.
mer representatives from these three
districts wore conservatives OF the
Chamberlain school. Tho full vote is
now reported, aud II Is perceived that
the three conservative members re-
ceived ii06 votes less than were given
10 the three previous members, This
certainly Is II positive loss.
The decline IN the conservative vote
il now attributed to the fact that many
conservatives in the Chamberlain par
ty are 90 thoroughly tinctured with
the free food argument as presented
ny the Duke of Devonshire, that they
would not vote the Chamberlain ticket.
There Is to be prodigious struggle
in Great Britain before the mighty
question Of free food in all It's bear
ings can be presented to the people;
and after u thorough discussion we do
not believe that the statesmanlike doe.
trines Of Sir Robert Peel, William Il.
Gladstone, Richard Golden and John
Bright will be overturned by the work
ingmen Of Great Britain. 1t Is prob.
able that some change will be made il
her fiscal policy, but that the English
people win vote squarely aud directly
Tor taxing foreign breadsuifs IL not
probable, however much Chamberlain
may sugar up his attractive policy o.
making breadstuifs dearer, and yet II
no respect impairing The comforts d
the masses OF the people,

The Democrat believes that II. T..
Ryan, Wisconsin's member of the
Democratic National committee, is
right In favoring an early date for the
Democratic National convention. Had
the democrats held the first convention
in 1896, many of the trial and tribu-
lations which the party has since en-
dured would doubtless have been
avoided. 1t is TO be hoped that in
1904 an early convention will be held
a sound platform adopted, and worthy
candidates for president and vice pres
ident nominated.

The Chicago Tribune Is authority
for the statement that In the year 1890
there were enacted In the United States
by the legislatures OF the several states
the enormous total of IL 100 brand new
laws
Somehow we have gotten hold OF the
false notion that we can cure all the
ills OF society by law-making. We
can make the people rich by law. We
can inform men by law. And this In
the face OF all history to the contrary.
Ignorance Of the law excuses no
man, And yet almost every man OF
necessity must be ignorant Of some of
the laws. 1t Is % physical lmpossi-
bility TO know all the laws which one
is supposed TO observe.
Every man Is presumed to know the
law. He does not know 1t. lie cannot
know 1t. What wonder II he unwit-
tingly breaks 1t?
You cannot expect q change until
there Is change In popular opinion.
People pat the premium on the man
who makes "a record " In the repre-
sentative assemblies. Tn order to
make record the representative must
get some laws passed. This, together
with the fact that almost every con
gresham, legislator or alderman has
his own pet plan OF legislation, Is suf-
flcent to account for our ponderous
pile OF statutes.
Meanwhile the law books grow big
ger. Conflicting statutes require con
slant adjudication. The common law
and the codes conflict and the tangle
grows.
IT should be SO that the man who
come to the legislature next winter
and goes back TO his constituency
boasting that he has introduced no
bill should be rewarded with u distin-
guiahed medal. Milwaukee Journal.
Consider the work Of the last Wis
consin legislature During the SEES
sion OF 1908 the people Of the state Of
Wisconsin, represented In senate and
assembly, enacted n greater volume Of
laws than should suffice FOR the revised
statutes, Tho law supplements issued
by the state press last spring contained
100 long columns Of fine type. or this
immense volume 1873 columns embraced
the laws which passed both senate and
assembly aud received the approval
Of the governor; while six additional
columns consist OF the primary cleo
tion measure which Is to be submitted
TO the people themselves for their APP
proval or rejection. Tho Democrat
hopes that the electors will vote down
chapter Ibl, OF the laws Of 1903, which
IL entitled "An Act to Provide FOR
Party Nominations by Direct Vote y
The people ought to be left entirely
FREQ to mako or not make party nomi-
nations as they sec fit, and they should
not be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as TO
tho manner Of making such nomina-
lions. The Equalization or lncorpora-
tion of parties Is " very dangerous
feature OF the Australian ballot law
aud tho primary election scheme, our
election aud eaucus laws greatly need
revision and repeal. The state and
nation could be we'll served through u
curtailment of statutes.

Secret investigation OF Fraud.

President Roosevelt may be anxious
that no guilty man shall escape, but SO
far none of the boodlers that have Gre
ated such scandal in the post office
department has been punished, and
only few of the minor offenders have
been indicted. Postmaster General
Payne still sits on the safety valve and
will not allow any steam to blow off
that might "injure the party" Mr.
Payne had knowledge of the post office
frauds long before they became public
md took no steps to even investigate
the doings in his office. President
Roosevelt must also have had this
prior knowledge, for all such matters
are talked over ut cabinet meetings.
And now comes Secretary Hitchcock
and declares that he has known of the
land frauds for several months, but he
justilics himself by also saying that
he has been investigating them quietly.

The treaty made between the two
Republican factions in Delaware, with
the approval of the president which
resulted in the removal of Miss Todd,
Is Il sample of what the anti-Addicks
faction may expect. The stronger fac
tion is sure to have the backing of the
powers that be-" and how they be
came stronger and the vicious means
used to become SO are never inquired
into, Hanna and Payne and poll
tlcians of that ilk are attracted rather
than repealed by the Addicks tactics
and President Roosevelt seems like a
moth around candle attracted by the
same light.
