SANTO DOMINGO

Commander Switzerland
Says People Anticipate

Domingo are peaceful and give promise
Of continuing so. through the general
feeling among people OF both parties
that The Senate. early in the coming
session OF Congress. will ratifY the
treaty between the United States and
that country, according TO Commando
William b. H. Switzerland. who has
been In command OF the naval forces
about the island for the past sixteen
months.
Commander Switzerland stated that

debt with the foreign powers and getting
on a sound financial footing.
Colonel Cotton. he said. is progressing
satisfactorily with the collection Of Gus

has won the confidence and respect OF
those who al first vigorously opposed
these collections.
Commander Switzerland left ssnto

The MetipOliS.

Put your hand in your pocket
twice more for tips-according 10
the advices from New York. Chauf-
feurs and motormen have joined the
crew Of walters, baggagemen, call
boys. BARRIERS, elevator boys, mes
sengers, theatc~ ushers, cab drivers,
and general utility hold-up men who
make Gotham the metipolis of
America.
4 strike. has brought about the
disclosure as TO the auto drivers.
Heretofore there has been some
doubt whether chauffeurs should be
rated as coachmen or mechanics.
In New York they have now dis
sipated the uncertainty themselves.
They belong with the coachmen.
For their strike is not aimed at
the transportation companies own
ing the automobiles. il seems. but
at the public. The grievance is that
the patrons do not give up" 10 the
drivers. What does it matter that
the public is already 'lOosening up"
10 the men who own and let the
cars? The chauffeurs do not get
anything extra out of the high
charges and so they strike. In
theory. all tho employing company
has to do is to rest quietly with its
hands on the steering gear; if the
public is subjected to Inconvenience
enough il will shell out 10 the auto
coachmen as H. does 10 the walters
and the ushers.
The chRufTeurE of the street cars
do the thing more openly. Hold up
q tip or the car goes by. That's all.
'Nough said. You can crate about
it by the hour-on the need for
keeping the cars moving on the
motormans difficulty in watching
the teams and the people who desire
humbly 10 get aboard, on the
strabismus which is so prevalent in
New York-but at the end you will
come 30 that ultimatum: Hold up
q tip or the car goes by.
What situation il is! What q
reflection il is! Not in New York
alone. but all over the country. In
Europe the tip is the patrons actual
payment for service. In America il
is a whole lot more than that-it is
his second over-payment for the
service; and he doesn't get the
service. Some day we viii all awake
Ia the utter contemptuousness Of
our milk-and-water submission TO a
hold-up like this. and when we do
the muck-rakers will rub their ewes
in wonder.

The Results.

Theodore Roosevelt's hold on the
American people is the most signifi-
cant fact emphasized by the re-
turns from yesterdays polling. He
was not running anywhere, but he
was running everywhere; and con-
sidering the handicap of not being
On the ticket, he ran in quite his
old-time form.
One year ago the President with
held the light OF his countenance
from the Republican organization in
Ohio and Pennsylvania, and Republi-
cans met defeat. This year he was
not against the party in either
state. and the party won in both.
Last year Hearst polled the votes
in New York 10 elect him mayor.
This wear he Is defeated for COVER
nor, and there viii not be serious
dissent from the statement that
the Presidents message through
Secretary Root saved the day for
his party.
Theodore Roosevelt will be the
candidate of his party in 1905 unless
he is irrevOcable in his determine
ton not TO run.
William Jennings Bryan Will be
the Democratic nominee, just as
probably; the New York vote points
as surely to him, on the Democratic
side, as il does TO Mr.. Roosevelt on
the Republican.
The Republican party, so long as
il numbers Roosevelt and pros
perity among It's assets. will have
a balance al the bank of national
confidence which Democracy viii
not he able TO match. Bryan can
not defeat Roosevelt unless bust
ness conditions decidedly change.
Enough is known of the Presidents
legislative program to assure that
he viii not permit halt in the work
that is strengthening the party
with the country.
Tariff revision has had a distinct
backset. The new House win be of
the same tariff complexion as the
present one. Only the personal and
iusistent demand of the President
could bring revision; and he will
not make that demand till after the
1908 election.
Healthier political conditions win
be promoted by the cutting down
of the Republican majority in the
House. 1t was too big and I'M
wieldy; ii gave too much power to
a managerial coterie. The defeat of
some House leaders who have earn
ed public disapproval, and the great
reduction of the majorities of some
others, is a good sign. 1t proves
that betterment 5 possible without
revolution.
The results, State by State, are
not everywhere encouraging TO the
general cause Of better government.
Massachusetts, by defeating Moran.
and Rhode Island, by defeating the
Republican machine. have made posi-
tive progress. Pennsylvania and
Ohio have returned 10 their IDOLS.
Iowa may have been carried by the
Democrats, with the nsought help
OF the railroads. New Jersey stays
by Dryden, the Prudential, and the
Public Service corporation.
