COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

DThe democratic doctrine in the
United States senate seems to be
that two wrongs make right.-Al-
bany Journal.
DMr. Bryan is certainly not stand
ing on the Kansas City platform for
the reason that there is standing
room only on that structure.-Pitts-
burg Gazette.
DThe democrats seem to be having
nice time discussing their next candi-
date for president. Mr.. Taggert's Hill
talk does not strike an entirely re-
sponsive chord.-Indianapolis News
(Ind.).
UIt is announced that David b.
Hill will surely be in the race for the
democratic presidential nomination
next year. That will not be surpris-
ing. That is what Hill has been play
ing for ever since the Kansas City
convention. Judge Parker is being
put forward in New York as a stalk
ing horse for Hill.-Cleveland Leader.
DRepublican leaders in the senate
are pleased with the selection of Sem
ator German as the leader of the
democrats. With him steering the
democratic ship the republicans will
be able to secure some cooperation
on measures on which both parties
are agreed, and will know what to
expect when they differ.-Indianapo-
lis Journal.
DThe democratic New York World
admits that the republicans in the
late congress made fairly good rec
ord, but says the democrats did very
little to re-establish the party In the
confidence of the country. "The par
ty in congress-" says the World, "has
lacked both leadership and a policy"
It charges them with having defeated
some important measures with no
other motive than playing politics"
and in view of their record says ut
cannot be claimed that they have
done much to induce the voters to
turn the government over to them."-

IS EAGER FOR ACTION.
Extra Session II senate Does
Not Ratify Cuban Treaty.

Washington, March lit can DO
stated by authority that PRESIDENT
Roosevelt has not definitely made up
his mind to call an extraordinary ses-
sion of the Fifty-eighth congress. He.
however, Is considering the practical
bility of doing so. When he was in
formed that il was the intention OF
the senate so to amend the Cuban
reciprocity treaty as to render action
upon IL by the house of representa-
tives necessary to make effective, he in
formed some members of the senate
that he would hold himself free to call
an extraordinary session Of the con-
gress in order to secure action upon
it. No definite time was mentioned
by the president for the meeting Of
the extraordinary session.
The president is much in earnest In
his desire to have the Cuban treaty
ratified and made effective. 1t can be
said that SO strong is this desire that
he even has considered the advisable
ity Of calling the congress into ex-
traordinary session this spring, II the
senate should permit the Cuban
treaty to fail through lack of quo
rum. That, however, is a contingency
which he considers improbable.
The belief of the president and his
advisers is that the senate will take
definite action upon both the Panama
canal and Cuban reciprocity treaties
at the present extraordinary session.
Assurances to that effect have been
received from the leaders OF the SEN
ate. The president believes, also, it
can be said, that this work OF the SEN
ate will have been accomplished by
the last of next week.
Senator's who talked with the pres.
ident Friday believe it to be unlikely
that an extraordinary session will be
called next autumn. They say many
reasons might be cited why such a
session should not be held, the prin-
cipal one being that some important
state elections are to be held in No
vember, and members of congress
will be busy with political affairs in
their own states. They point out
that on the eve of presidential cam
paign it is highly important that

doubtful states, to maintain the
strength of party organizations. In
such circumstances il is said it would
be possibly only with difficulty to
maintain a quorum of either branch
of congress at an extraordinary ses-
sion. III the session were not called
until November they say it woull be
so close to the regular session as
practically to render it unnecessary.
The republican steering committee
of the senate considered the general
condition of business in the senate.
The opinion was expressed that it
would be possible to fix the day for
the final close of the session not later
than next Friday or Saturday. No
resolutions to that effect, however,
will be introduced until an effort
shall be made to name day for vot-
ing on the Cuban reciprocity treaty.

cient and fishlike smell. 1t has been
served up to the people before, and
they do not relish second dose of it.
The issue proposed by Mr.. Livingston
is scarcely more acceptable than the
rotten money and free riot programme
which Mr.. Bryan keeps in cold stor-
age and is preparing to spring anew
on his party next year. The repub-
lican party could ask for nothing bet
ter than this. 1t would be easy to
cite the painful experiences when
democracy was in full swing at Wash
ington as all-sufficient proof that the
Livingston cure would be far worse
than the disease. The people of the
United States have not yet forgotten
that a surplus, with good times, is q
big improvements on revenue reduction,
treasury deficits and commercial pros
tration. Let Mr.. Livingston and his
party raise the issue If they wish.

THE CONGRESSIONAL MINORITY
"Democrats Have Lacked Both Lead
ership aud Policy" says .
Party Organ.

How much has the attitude of the
minority done to reestablish the dem
cratic party in the confidence of the
country?
Very little, it must be admitted, says
the New York World (dem.). The
party in congress has lacked both lead
ership and a policy. In both houses
the democrats voted almost unani-
mously for the Littlefield antitrust
bill, which, whatever its good provi-
sions, was assuredly the most CEN
tralizing measure and the most abso-
lutely destructive of the traditional
democratic doctrine of state rights of
any ever introduced in congress with
a serious purpose of passing it.
In addition to this it was a demo
cratic senator-Patterson of Colorado
who opposed and helped to defeat
the Philippine tariff relief bill on the
express ground that it might hurt the
incubated infant sugar-beet industry
Of his state!
Worse still, the democratic senator's
helped to block the ratification of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty-a democrat
ic measure so far as it goes, if justice
and decency and fair trade are demo-
cratic-for no other apparent purpose
than to play politics."
And it was democratic senator who
by insensate filibustering against the
Panama treaty delayed the beginning
of Q great work which the country with
practical unanimity demands and

Democrat Proposes One That Woula
Suat the Republicans Down
20 the Ground.

Representative Livingston, of Geor-
gia, the ranking democratic member
of the house committee on appropri-
atoms, is preparing to issue state
ment charging congress with extrav-
agance and urging the necessity of
cutting down the revenues. Is that to
be one of the democratic battle cries
for the next presidential and congress
sional campaign? If so, the republic
an party has nothing to fear, says the
Troy Times. The democratic party
once succeeded in getting into power
at Washington by ringing the changes
on the danger of surplus and the
advisabilhy of reducing the tariff and
cutting down the revenue. And every
body knows what happened to the tar
iff, the revenue and the surplus. Some
of the history of that period is con-
tinued in the official record which tells
of the issue of bonds to keep up the
gold reserve and pay running ex-
penses. But the larger and more i'm
pressive part of the story is indelibly
impressed on the minds of those who
suffered in idleness and want because
Of the industrial and commercial par
alysis which followed democratic at
tempts at "monkeying" with the sur
plus and the revenues:
Mr.. Livingston, it is said, will point
out that the only remedy which the
people will have for congressional ex-
travagance is a reduction of the tariff.
That has familiar sound, If not an an

Admiral CoEhlan and His Squadron
Ordered to Honduras to Protect
American Interests.

Washington, March 1.-THE Carib-
bean squadron, under command OF
Admiral Coghlan, has been ordered to
Honduras, where the revolution is as
Stunning serious proportions, to pro-
tect American interests. Late Friday
afternoon Acting Secretary of the
Navy Darling sent by cable instruc-
tions to Admiral Coghlan at San
Juan. This action was taken in re-
Spouse to a cablegram from William
C. Wilt, United State vice consul at
Ceiba, Honduras, announcing that
Ceiba had been captured by the rev.
dictionary forces and suggesting
that United States warship be sent
to Honduras waters. The dispatch
bears date of March ~. The navy
department decided to send Admiral
Coghlan to Honduras on the theory
that a flag officer present on the
scene would be in position to take
such steps as may be necessary for
the protection of American interests
without constant reference to the
department here. The presence Of
squadron instead of a single ship, it
was thought, also would have salu-
tary effect.

BIunder. Of Denocr.t..

The democratic party is celebrated
for its talent in making mistakes, but
1t never made a bigger blunder than
in approving the filibuster in the last
house of representatives because Rep
resentative Butler, of st. Louis, was
unseated. There may be circum-
stances or conditions under whicha
parliamentary filibuster may be justi-
fed or mitigated, but this was not
such a case. Buffers pretended cleo
ton was rotten with fraud, and after
giving him the benefit of every pos
sible doubt and majority in SO pre-
cincts where the voting was admitted
ly honest the established frauds in the
remaining precincts of the district
were more than enough to defeat him.
He richly deserved unseating. A party
that filibusters in defense of fraud
lacks leadership as well as issues.-In-

which nine-tenths Of the senate stood

Still further to illustrate their par
tisanship and their Indifference to prin-
ciple and to the public needs, soterie
of democratic senators prevented the
passage-avowedly as an act of retalia-
ton for Senator Aldrich's opposition
to the omnibus statehood bill-of a
conservative measure to avoid a con-
gestion of currency in the treasury
and to secure interest upon govern
ment deposits.
When it is added that democrats
voted as greedily as republicans for
the river and harbor, the public build
ings and other "pork-barrel" bills
that went to swell the total appropria-
tions to the highest sum ever reached,
it cannot be claimed that they have
done much to induce the voters to turn
