Republicans Responsible.

Philadephia FecOru
In the last hours Of the Senates regular session the
pubcans heard some solid truth from of their
number 1t Senator Elkns-and member Of the
oppositionwho said them that for fourteen weeks
majority of the Senate has kept from voting the
statehood bill. The Aldrich BILL the Philippine tariff bill
and the treaties have been defeated by the libuser
against the statehood BILL Mr. Eins declared that the
minority opposing statehood Senate is responsible
all these failures That is the absolute truth Re
publican minority in the Senate has ibusered the whole
session against the statehood bill because that would
probably strengthen the Democratic vote in the Senate
and the Electoral College.

CHANCES OF SUCCESS.

CHANCES OF SUCCESS
Senator Vest broadly defines the conditions Of
Democracy's success failure in the campaign Of
1904. 1t is his view that Democracy cannot win if
the affairs OF the country and the people undergo
change between and then, for the that
the Republicans will ascribe the prosperity" which
may then prevail to the Dingley tariff, and the
jority of voters will not stop analyZe the truth
of the claim.
While it is true that the Republicans have staked
and will stake everything upon the maintenance of
the high tariff, it is less true that they have in
several instances signaly demonstrated the fallacy
of the proposition that the tariff is responsible for
prosperity and it is true that the Democratic party
will be prepared to confront the people with ar
gument against high tariff powerful than ever
before.
Not only have the Republicans demonstrated the
fallacy of their position but they have repeatedly
shown TO the country the nature of the influence
which dominates their stand the powerful interests
concerned III legislation. The of the Republican
press generally portends popular disposition to re-
volt at syndicate rue-which in the popular mind
meets greater repugnance than any previous time
in the history of the Republican party.
Results have disclosed how vain was the attempt
to subordinate the tariff question The bland quality
Of antitrust legislation provided by the party has
been in the line of attempt equally unsuccessful,
to subordinate the trust issue. That the trust and
tariff issues and the money-rule issue intermin-
ably and intimately bound up is obvious as to
mention. Contingent upon Republican success is the
party's ability to directly all three of these
issues. They admit evasion, and the country is
keenly alive to the facts.
Other contingencies appear to warrant considera-
ton. Just now 1t is patent to everybody that the
Republican machine does not grind easily That the
friction may develop an rreparable break seems now
among the probabilities, especially in view of Mr..
Roosevelts treatment Of the South. which threatens
solid front irrespective of party against his cand
dacy. Also, having deeply offended the producing
West, the party may find success ultimately Ringing
upon its ability to appease that section.

These writings, especially those of Mr. Holder, are

of crime which has already been exposed and with

Magazine literature should go further into the field
and instruct the people present systems of cor

EUROPE MAKES OUR DUTY PLAIN.

While there is no reason for American alarm be-
cause of recent unofficial German Nominations against
the Monroe Doctrine, it may be conceded that these
utterances represent the views of many of the leading
European publicists and political economists.
Official Germany and Great Britain alike have, in
effect accepted the Monroe Doctrine binding the
present time and, in the Of the Venezuelan Incl
dent they have seen that the United States Govern
does purpose allow the doctrine operate
as protection behind which the South American Re
publcs can evade their just obligations to Europe
Baron Won Sternburg, the German representative in
this country took occasion at the most trying mo-
men of the Venezuelan crisis to characterize
roe Doctrine an instrument for peace There has
yet been reputation Of its principle the part
of any foreign Power.
Nevertheless the truth remains that Europe would
be glad to anagonize that issue if it found
possible form alliance sufficiently strong to ac-
cept the consequence of with the United States
1t is equally true, in all likelihood that the thought
Of such alliance is favorably entertained and that
the trend Of European diplomacy is in that direction
Professors Wagner and Won Debruck of the Berlin
University make this fact quite plain in their recent
attack ON the Monroe Doctrine the latter especially
coming out with all frankness in advocacy of an
Anglo-Germ alliance for the purpose Of settling the
matter according to the European view. The great
Powers of the Old World regard South American ter
ritory with greedy eyes
The teaching Of such situation Is obvious With
out getting excited finding it necessary to believe
that war with Europe is impending. the first DUTY
of the United States is to prepare for war and to
main in condition Of preparedness in SO far as our
sea power is concerned. We must have navy at
least equal to that of the most formidable single E-
ropean Power: and we must maintain the navy on
this basis. Such policy Is expensive of course but
it constitutes wise insurance against war; and all
insurance costs money. The American who would
oppose naval increase in the face of such
is confronted would be offering temptation to
Europe to test the Monroe Doctrine by force of
and to take bitter advantage of Government so fool

Washington, March 9.-Acting under In
structions from Alexander Mcdowell. clerk

geant-at-Arms Casson, the sale of all in
toxicating liquors has been discontinued in

The prediction is made that never again

a general public sentiment against the prac-
tice, ana no member will be coura geous
enough to repeal the law. however inconven-
lent the prohibition may be.
No liquor has been sold in the Senate res
taurant for long time. So much liquor
was sold at the House during the closing
days of Congress as to cause general out
cry against the practice.
