1.-THE viii OF the People ="

II Il the voice Of the Hon. LEoNIDAs
FELIX LIVINGSTON, our friend from the
dawn OF the Farmers Alliance and Rep
resentative in Congress Of the Fifth
Georgia district now and for several
terms past:
mako bold 10 predict that the public viii be
buuooed in the next Congress on the two great
subjects in which the public Is most interested
tsrin revision and railroad rate legislation. Not
that the Republican parry At large Will do H. But
believe that the so-caued conservative element
viii dominate In Congress, especially in the Senate,
and prevent the llhlmen Of the win Of the people.
What is the will Of the people about
tariff revision? There is a deficit How
shall the hole be filled? By reducing
certain tariff schedules so az to induce
larger importations and revenue? BY
increasing the taxes on beer or spirits9
By taking free coffee from the poor
mans breakfast table? The question
is one Of dollars and cents. OF course,
the gentlemen whose toes it is proposed
70 pinch will howl or course, the gen
uemen who are ra to believe that any
particular proteC,lye tariff is the ark OF
the covenant will uplft protesting hands
and yell at the intended blasphemy and
outrage.
Will the public be buncoed? II usu-
ally is; but as yet there is small evil
dence that the public has made up its
mind how the needed additional reve-
nue. should be raised.
As TO railroad rate legislation, too.
Leave out Of consideration the Bryan
Democrats. They are tickled to find
their old ideas borrowed. They hope
20 embarrass the Republicans. Is the
Republican party at large eager for
railroad rate regulation? Isn't it the
fact that Mr.. RoosEvELT's unparalleled
popularity is the main strength Of the
proposals for such regulation? He
wants it with all the force, sincerity and
ardor Of his nature.
Most Republicans had never heard OF
Il until he took itup.

Mr.. Rno,syelt and the Presidency,

The nomination Of Mr.. ROOSEVELT for
another term ~ President by a Demo-
cratic speaker at the dinner of the Demo-
cratic Iroquois Club in Chicago would
have been an incident Of the highest
political Importance and significance il
anything said by eIuberant Western
hospitality on such an occasion could be
taken in sober seriousness.
1t was all the more a mere compliment
of after-dinner oratory because shortly
before reaching Chicago Mr.. ROOSEVELT
had repeated and reiterated more pre-
cisely his public announcement imme-
diately after his last election, that never
again and under no circumstances would
he be a candidate for President, He
took pains to make still more positive
his removal Of himself from all possible
consideration as such a candidate, and to
have his decision published to the world,
II was hatfooted at hrst and he has
made il even more unmistakable and
irreversible. As he says, there Is mo
string tied to his refusal to run again
for the ofioe. He has made It a. plain
as 1t can be put in words,
His nomination at the Democratic
Iroquois Club, therefore, was Of the
nature Of an impertinencc amiahle as
an expression Of personal regard though
il may have been
The suggestion was evidently migrate
full TO Mr.. ROOSEVELT, Il implied an
iusinoerity and an evasiveness in his
frequently reiterated refusals to seek
or to accept what would be practically

shadow Of justification These refusals,

honor Of the American people for his

suggestion that he will depart from his

really an insult TO President ROOSEVELT,

The sociaIl.t Labor Morsmsnt.

A call has been issued for delegates Of
labor organizations TO attend the con-
vention Of the American Labor Union
in Chicago on, June 81 This hitherto
insignificant and little regarded rival
Of the American Federation Of Labor, Of
which Mr.. GoMPERs is the head and
front, has lately become sufficiently
active and formidable 10 attract the
notice Of Mr.. GoMPERs, and 10 cause
him to loosen the shoppers Of his vials
Of wrath. He refers 20 it as the organ
ization instituted officered, and man
aged by Socialists; the organization
that now with other Socialists has called
a congress to attempt TO destroy the
American Federation Of Labor and the
trade union movement Of our country. -
Mr.. GoMPEBs gives it the name Of the
new movement.
The matter is Of more than passing
interest and Importance. II presents in
concrete form a long existing issue in
labor unionism and involves a funda-
mental policy. The Federation Of Labor
has assumed and maintained a nom
political attitude. It's members have
been left 10 vote as they saw fl ipdi-
vidually. Its object has been industrial.
and not political, unity. The essential
difference in the policies Of these organ
izations may be illustrated by quoting
the expressions Of their leaders. Speak
ing in San Francisco last November MFR.
GoMPERs said: The only safe oounse for
organized labor 20 adopt is one of Alb

Local unions affiliated with the Fed

by their great leader, and Mr.. GoMPIRs
and others have sought 20 influence

The AneIo-Japanese AlIiance

The restricted alliance concluded be-
tween Great Britain and Japan will eI-
pire in 1907, unless notice Of renewal is
given a year in advance. Is a renewal
likely and, II so, on what terms? The
question is complicated by the fact that
the Liberals are expected shortly 70
return 20 power at Westminster.
Il will be remembered that the last
Liberal Government, headed by Lord
RosEBERY, was partially chargeable
with the conflict Of interests between
Russia and Japan. II the second arti.

amount had been placed with other com
