The Point Of View.

Much depends on ones viewpoint.
Many Americans holding good fat of

eestatic over our great and glorious
possessions in the orient, but here
comes a correspondent of the Mount
Pleasant GIich) Enterprise and gives
the other side of the picture in these
doleful words:

see them they are bunch of trouble on

struction, on the east by typhoons and
hurricanes, on the south by cannibals and
earthquakes. on the west by sharks and
snugglers. The interior of the island is
composed Of mud and mountains The
population includes $4,000 caribous (water
buffaloes) and 100000 ROSTERS. OF the
people $4,000 are instructors. $4,000 are
amigos friends at the nauzzle of a Az,
and the balance are Chinese gamblers and
carineta drivers.

The natives are very industrious, their
chief industries being cockfghting and
stealing. Their marriage ceremony is very
impressive, especially that clause in the
contract which provides for the wife the
privilege of laboring for her husband as
much as he desires. The home dress of
the Filipino is artistic and attractive, con-
sistfng of transparent and primitive out
lines. The native costume is flour sacks

Seven men who on the face of the
returns failed to receive a majority or
plurality of votes are striving to break
into the IEifty-ninth congress. Six of
these ambitious and palpitating patri-
OTIS are Republicans, who in ali human
probability will be seated whether
elected or not, though it would be diff
cult to tell why the Republicans want
any more members of the house. Their
majority in that body is already so
large as to be unwieldy and dangerous
lin fact, doubly dangerous dangerous
to the country and dangerous to the
Republican party. The seventh CON
testant is Hon. c. T. Iaukea of Ha-
wall. home rule candidate, who is con
testing the seat of Hon. Jonah Ka-
lauianaole, alias Prince Cupid, a Repub-
lican statesman. It's a ten to one shot
that because he is a Republican he of
the unpronounceable name will hold his
place. OF all the CHASTITY farces known
among men a congressional contested
election case heads the list and takes
the cake-in fact, the whole bakery
It's really a great pity that such cases
cannot be referred to some sort of
court for decision, where some atten-
ton would be paid to the facts and
where politics would not be the con-
trolling factor

Tbs Republican Split.

A snort time ago the st. LOUIS GLOBE
Democrat, an unreasonable and unreal
soning stand pat organ, il nped on me
in a column editorial for saying that
the Republican party is about to split
on the tariff question. 1t made all the
fun it knew how to make of my sug-
gestion, but what will the CD. do,
poor thing, when it reads these words
from Governor A. B. Cummins' latest
speech? The governor said:
when in our effort to bring about
the purchase of homemade goods we
make the American pay more than a
fair price, we are robbing him just as
viciously assthough we bound him hand
and foot and turned him over to the
tender mercies of the highwayman.
1--WE are making clear issue upon
the tariff and reciprocity between the
members of the Republican party.
There is a fight in progress, and it must
go on until one side or the other ac
knowledges defeat. 1t is idle to talk
about harmony"
Those are the words Of Republican
governor OF a great Republican state.
Surely the CD will not have the
temerity to endeayor to whistle them
down the wind If it does, it will SIM
ply render itself more ridiculous than
usual, which is saying a great deal.
Governor Cummins aspires to be the
Republican nominee for president, and
If he succeeds the GID. will have big
dish of crow to eat
This, however, is not all the evidence
at hand of the correctness of my re-
mark. Commenting on the foregoing
utterance of Governor Cummins, the
American Economist, stand patter par
excellence, says: This declaration,
bold and defiant almost to the degree of
recklessness, has at least the merit Of
being candid. It represents exactly the
truth Of the situation, not alone III
Iowa, but in every other part of the
country
Now, submit that if the CD. will
not believe two such Republican wit
nesses as Governor CuInmins and the
American Economist It would not be
convinced though one rose from the
dead or came down out of heaven to
testify.
OF course the GID. knows as well as
it knows anything that there is an sir
repressible conflict" within the Repub-
lican party. In its editorial lambasting
me it was whistling to keep up its
courage merely that and nothing
more.
No doubt when congress meets the
good Babcock of Wisconsin, chairman
of the. Republican congressional cam
paign committee, he who fried some
fat out of the policy holders in the
great life insurance companies and
then, like Oliver Twist, cried for MORE

n tide has turned; the turn has
u come in the lane; the pendu-
lum is swinging back toward
Democracy; light is breaking in the
east. The bosses proposed, but the PEG
pie disposed. Boss Cox Of Ohio is down
and out. He issues a graceful farewell
address to his fattened out followers.
1t may be truly said of him that moth
ing in his life so became him as his
taking off. He falls in manly man
ner, as becomes a fighter, but he falls
like Lucifer. never to hope again. His
goes to the political boneyard kicking
and squealing. Poor Herrick! When
the redoubtable Marcus A. Hanna dug
him up and placed him in the guberna
torial chair, Herrick saw or thought he
saw ahead of him the senate and the
presidency. Now his plurality of 1885,
900 in 1908 is changed into a plurality
against him of $4,000, and he has the
bitter recollection of knowing that he
committed political suicide. In his
fall are probably involved the political
fortunes of Senator General Charles
Dick. He has learned that he cannot
WELD Excalibur. In the same grave
with Cox and Herrick repose Bosses
Israel Durham and Boies Penrose of
Pennsylvania. Penrose wasn't big
enough to wear the armor of Matthew
Stanley Quay. In Massachusetts Boss
Henry Cabot Lodge barely escaped be-
Ing placed in the grave with other
bosses by the skin of his teeth. AS he
is much given to rummaging in the
classics, he may recall the famous re-
mark of King Pyrrhus, who when
walking over bloody battlefield which
he had won exclaimed, Another such
victory and l am undoner'
1t seems to be a repetition of what
happened after 1872. Greeley was de-
feated more decisively than Parker,
yet in 1874 the Democrats elected a
house of representatives by an over
whelming majority and in 1876 elected
Samuel j. Tilden president. If there
had been a general election this month
we would have captured the house
dead sure.

Bad news, but not unexpected by
sensible folk, comes from Santo Do
mingo, whose financial affairs are now
being managed without authority of
law by President Roosevelt's under
strappers. The hot blo0ded denizens
Of that God forsaken republic % are
organizing another revolution. Conse-
quentIy the Washington government
has dispatched a warship to hold the
belligerent Dominicans in order. If our
warship takes part in a civil war over
there, it is a practical declaration or war
in favor of one faction or the other-an
act vested in the congress and not in
the president. What pity that every
body can't learn to attend to his own
business!

The ST. Louis Republic lifts up its
voice in rejoicing. It's an old saying
that chickens come home to roost. Last
fall McCutcheon's cartoon, 1.-THE Mys-
terious Stranger Republican Nilsson
ri, God save the mark had great run
Now the Republic gloating over Demo
cratic victories answers that year old
cartoon with this jubilant editorial:
The Democratic party-and particularly
the Democracy of our own glorious COM
monwealth-takes pleasure in welcoming
the mysterious stranger, Ohio, and hopes
that it has returned to the fold this time
to stay.
1t has been a long time since its true
sister states had an opportunity of en-
bracing the Grant one, which fact even
adds to the warmth of their greeting
The mysterious stranger-strange only be-
cause of its long absence and mysterious
because we never could comprehend why
such an intelligent member should stray
out OF such a superior family-is doubtless
a little surprised and abashed in the pres
ence of the staid members, but the latter
are truly delighted and altogether for
giving.
Ohio's example in coming back where it
belongs makes the Missouri colonel, who
last year inadvertently went over to visit
the enemy's camp. only the more anxious
to get home. What a splendid family re-
union there viii be when he returns,
which he promises to do at the very first
opportunity
Ohio indeed impresses the $4,000 Mis-
souri, Democrats who went fishing year
ago.
Hon. Willard Duncan Vandiver, for
eight years representative in con-
gress, now insurance commissioner of
Missouri, always did have plenty of
backbone. He has shut the New York
Life out of Missouri Bully for Van!
When Nevada shut life company out
the president thereof simply made fun
of his performance, but Missouri, with
3,500,O 00 people and $4,00U,000,000 of
wealth, is a different proposition The
New York Life fought tooth and nail
to stay in, but Vandiyer would not
permit it, and he did right.
The Missouri Republicans gave Major
William Warner a great banquet at
Kansas City on the eve of his depar-
ture for Washington. Oratory was on
tap, but no orator possessed the can
dor to tell the truth by saying, Major
Warner, never forget that you are an
accidental United States senator, the
last as well as the first Of your line"
That would have been hitting the bulls
eye. Major Warner is an amiable
man. All true Missourians wish him a
pleasant service in the senate of pre-
cisely six years and no more. If 10000
Democrats had not stayed at home by
reason of Judge Parker's gold tele-
gram, the major would have stayed on
the banks of the law instead of so
journing for six years on the banks Of
the Potomac.
