caucus nomination of another term as
Senator from Wisconsin without sub
lscribing to any Populstic platform,
without giving a bond to anybody,
without executing a mortgage upon
himself and without inserting a ring in
his nose
This fact. while necessarily some-
what disconcerting to the Governor anu
some Of his intimates, is in the highest
degree creditable to Mr.. Spooner and
to the Republican members of the Leg
lislature
Governor La Toilette is q very etren-
uous parsonage. He is a clever poll
tician. Considering his parts, he has
had remarkable success in maldngsome
of the minor activities Of Republican
politics in Wisconsin, but it is evident
that he has his limitations. The people
Of the State refuse to accept his judg-
ment as to Spooner.
The Senator will be reelected in his
own record and without so much as no.
ticing the bluster of the person who un-
dertock to name the conditions en-
which he could remain in the public SER

rRoTEorIoN IN rHE sourn

In theory the Democrats believe in
reciprocity; in fact, they believe SO
thoroughly In it that they would extend
its scope to an commerce between ma
tons. giving the world absolute free
trade In practice, however. it is diff
ferent. The South, which furnishes a
majority of the total Democratic
strength is always alert to protect her
own industries. When it comes TO
tariff schedules or reciprocity treaties
affecting sugar and cotton. Southern
Democrats feel that the free trade prln-
ciple may be waived
This is strikingly shown In the oppo-
sition 20 the ratification OF the Cuban
reciprocity treaty. We have ceased TO
hear Of the cry Justice to Cuba" but
instead is the slogan Protect the in
dustries OF the South" Almost, II not
quite the whole Democratic vote in the
Senate it is believed will he cast
agains tthe ratification OF the Cuban
treaty This appears inconsistent, to
say the least. The answer Is that the
Democratic party does not favor tariff
reduction in spots. yet il & is sincere
q beginning should be regarded as bet
ter than nothing. The fact is thar the
South fears the admission Of Cuban
sugar TO come in competition with her
product just as Northern manufac-
tuners fear 70 compete with industries
employing cheap labor. 1t is worth
something TO put the Democrats on
record.

RREp EDEN nAcH AGAIN

A little band OF men calling them
selves Regular Republicans. headed by
Fred Eden Bach. are busy at Dover in
the effort to persuade the ten Regular
Republicans that it would be better to
elect Addicks and Higgins than Du-
Pont and Higgins. That they have been
repudiated by Mr. Higgins makes no
difference. In an interview yesterday
The ex-senator made his position plain.
He says that he has helped to educate
1he Regulars in the doctrines they hold.
Here is the concluding sentence Of his
interview:

of Addicks men with Regular Republ

A Murderer.

From the Philadelphia Evening Bul-
letin.
The death of Gonzales, the victim Of
Tillmans pistol, puts the brand OF
murder squarely on the brow of South
Carolinas Lieutenant Governor. If
his human target had survived. Till
mans friends might have pleaded for
leniency in his behalf but it is hard to
see how any such plea can now be
made. There is no dispute as to the
shooting, which was peculiarly cow
ardly and atrocious in its character,
and there can be no doubt as to the
legal as well as the moral guilt, Of the
assassin. It will be worth while to see
what the courts of South Carolina will
do in such a case. White men of po-
litical standing and influence nave not
often been convicted Of murder in that
State OF bulging hip-pockets and hab-
itual pistol-carrying. But Tillmsn
cannot escape unpunished without the
infliction OF indelible disgrace on the
community which elected him 10 It's
second highest executive office.
