The statehood bill, having served as
long as necessary to block the way of
the pure food bill and other measures
Objectionable to the dominant coterie
in the Senate, is now, it is said, to be
given its death blow Republicans who
have all along been secretly opposed to
its passage, but did not care to have that
fact known while the bill was needed as
q buffer in the Senate, are now coming
out in the open to be counted against it.
There are 10 OF them, it is asserted, and
their votes added to the 80 democratic
votes, make up an opposition of 40,
four more than will be required to kill
the bill when the time comes for that
operation.

"WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN. Is, 1905

rHE wealthy members of the New
YORK Union League Club have been con
siberabIy disturbed about the letter re-
ceiyed from Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw acknowledging resolutions adopted
BIZ The club in favor of tariff revision.
In his letter the Secretary pokes fun at
the Union League men by asking IN
sarcastic vein if the wooden manufactures
in the club would forward information as
to the desire of farmers and sheep men
for a tariff reduction, and if the flour
manufacturers had collected information
about the demands Of the wheat growers.
The club members were first inclined to
b, amused at these gibes, but their
amusement later turned to anger. 1t now
turns out that the preamble to the clubs
resolutions contained a strong argument
FOR revision by pointing ont that corpo'
rations which are now virtual monopolies
in certain lines are forcing consumers to
pay excessive prices for articles OF
necessity. This is every word true but
a republican secretary does not like to
be told of it by republican club. But
the truth is mighty and will prevail at
last, though the time now seems remote.

THE astonishing admission is now
made in official quarters that United
states marines may have to be landed in
Santo Domingo to fight for possession OF
some of the Dominican custom houses
which the administration has undertaken
to run under its recent agreement with
President Morales. Revolutionists are
in possession of several of the custom
houses and will naturally object TO turn
ing them over to the persons designated
by the President to run them. Thus at
the very outset Of this new adventure OF
the President, entered into without the
knowledge of Congress, the lives of
American soldiers may be sacrificed. But

A walk through the various floors and main
departments of the establishment Of James
