SANITY among the 100000 German
subjects of the Austrian emperor, pre-
pairing the way for the kaiser's coup.
The reunion of all the Germans would
seem to be ID harmony with the eternal
fitness of things That has been the
dream of German statesmen since the
days of the Great Elector just as to
possess Constantinople has been the
dream of Russian statesmen since the
days of Peter the Great.
It is by no means improbable that
both dreams will be realized in the i'm
mediate future. Since the American
republic was created there has been
no other work of constructive states
manship so vast and important as the
creation of the present German empire.
That was largely the work Of Bis
marck, but back of Bismarck were the
Great Elector and Frederick the Great,
who in their times laid broad and deep
and solid the foundations Of German
unity and therefore of German great
ness.
To a philosophical mind the kaiser's
ambition seems rational and feasible.
The Germans of the German empire
and the Germans of the Austrian en-
pire are one in blood, in language, In
thought and in aspiration and would,
if reunited, constitute a great and
homogeneous nation.

It is a singular fact that the famous
French dramatist Sardou owed his first
success on the boards to his excellent
handwriting. He had sent in his often
rejected play, Ga Taverne des Etudl-
ants to the Odeon management for
consideration. and the manuscript was
thrown, with some others, upon table
One day at rehearsal the charming &C.

Tariff No Be Revise ~

a II S>e~-.-----

Charles Warren Fairbanks and all 9th
sr ambitious Republicans who have
fixed their covetous eyes on the presi-
dental nomination of 1908, and it is
this: The fight for that nomination has
been transferred from Washington to
the Iowa prairies and has narrowed
down to Shaw and Cummins provided
that they do not wind up in dog fall.
If either achieves clear cut victory
he will be nominated for president by
the Republicans. If Shaw comes out
triumphant the stand patters will rally
around him with the enthusiasm and
loyalty Of highland Scotch clan for
it's hereditary chieftain. If Cummins
comes out on top nothing can stay the
rising tide of revision sentiment among
Republicans, which will give Cummins
the nomination.
Such being the situation, let's see
what each of these men stands for.
Oct. II, 1905, Governor Cummins de-
livered carefully prepared speech be-
fore the Polk county Republican club
at Des Moines, of which the keynote
sentence was this:
"The amount of graft of all the in
surance companies for all time will not
equal one-fifth the amount of which
our people are robbed every year by
excessive tariff"
1t is submitted to candid world that
| the rankest and most wicked free trad
err has not in five years said so radical
thing as that; therefore it is war to
the knife, the knife to the hilt, betwixt
Governor Cummins and the stand pat
tiers. Indeed, those who read the Con
gressional Record can form some idea
of the bitterness between Cummins and
the Iowa stand patters by reading a
colloquy recently had betwixt Repre-
sentative John f. Lacy of Iowa and
myself, in which / tried my best to
compel Major Lacey to acknowledge
that Governor Cummins is Republic.

A Finish Ffaht.

Friday night, March %, Secretary
Shaw spoke at Des Moines, delivering
a speech which he no doubt intended
as an antidote to the poison which
Cummins has been spreading about
and as the. Shaw bid for the presiden-
tial nomination The speech was not
fully reported in the eastern papers,
but in such report as they contained
is this sentence: mo party can revise
the tariff in safety, and the only time
to risk the experiment is at an EXTRACT
binary session Immediately following
the Inauguration of new administra-
ton"
1t must be admitted by his most
radical political opponents that Secre-
tary Shaw knows how to use our YER
nacular, yet it must be observed thai
in the foregoing sentence he carefully
refrains from stating that IL he should
be elected in 1908 to the presidency he
would call an extraordinary session of
congress shortly after March 4, 1909,
to revise the tariff. Perhaps that might
have been considered indicate, but if
he believes that the tariff ought to be
revised even under such conditions as
he suggests he might have said without
Impropriety that should a Republican
president be elected in 1903 he ought
to call an extraordinary session in the
spring Of 1909. He made no such hint.
Therefore it must be taken for granted
that he favors no such action. Even
if it be concluded that he believes the
tariff ought to be revised in the spring
of 1909 it postpones such action three
years and hope deferred maketh the
heart sick. There can be no compro-
mise for the Cummins idea and the
Shaw idea. It's fight to the finish.
Out of that fight let US hope that a
Democratic Iowa may come!

fsnecial WASHINGTON letter.

Especial Washington letter.
Mt is settled. What is settled? That
there is to be no revision of the
II tariff rates during the life of the
Fifty-ninth congress. Who settled
it? Hon. Serene g. Payne, chairman
of the committee on ways and means
and ex officio floor leader of the Repub-
lican majority in the house of repre-
sentatives. How did he settle it? By
carefully prepared letter to Hon.
Samuel W. Mccall, a Republican, who
represents the Harvard district Of
Massachusetts. When did the Hon.
Serene e. cut that stupendous caper?
March "a, 1906 Is his letter to be TAX
en- as authoritative? OF course it is
In this matter he was undoubtedly
speaking, after consultation, for the
majority of the house. These queries,
answers and dates are worthy of being
remembered, as the fight to control the
house of representative will hinge
largely upon them.
In urging upon Chairman Payne
the importance of tariff revision at this
session in order to carry out Repub-
lican pledges in the national platform
of 1904 and in the Massachusetts plat
form of 1905 Mr.. Mccall truly says,
what everybody knows, that revision
cannot be accomplished at the short
session next winter for lack of time.
That, taken in connection with these
sentences from Mr. Payne's reply,
shuts the door of hope in the face of
the revisionists. Mr.. Payne closes as
|. follows: 81 cannot, therefore, agree
with your delegation that it would be
best at the present session OF congress
to enter upon consideration OF the
tariff with view to it's revision and
| readiustment. While this is my in
dividual opinion have reason to be-
lieye that it is also the judgment of a
decided majority of the committee on
ways and means" So there you are.
Mr.. Mccall, speaking for the Massa-
chusetts delegation, urges revision at
| this session because it cannot be ac-
cornplished at the short session, ana
Mr.. Payne, speaking for himself and a
majority of the committee on ways
and means, says it shall not be at
tempted at this long session. Brother
Payne was too modest by half OF three
fourths in stating his case. He ought
to have boldly waded in and declared
that he spoke for the house machine.
OF course after that correspondence
nobody will be fool enough to believe
that there will be any revision by this
congress. Consequently it transfers
the fight to the impending campaign
for control of the next house. It gives
more power to Governor Cummins in
his fight on the prairies of Iowa.
Query: Will there be revision by the
| Sixtieth congress? Not if the Repub
licans control the house, for Secretary
Shaw has announced that the only time
| on which revision can be ventured Oh
is at an extraordinary session just
! after a new administration begins
which means the spring of 1909 at the
| earliest, but the secretary does not
promise it even then. He simply sug
gests that as the safest time.

The Hamkeve Battle ROYAL.

The Importance attaching to Repub-
lican happenings in Iowa may pc as
sumed from the fact that Secretary OF
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw has felt
it to be his duty to himself, his party
and his country to turn the affairs or
his great department over to his SUD-
ordinates in order to hasten to Iowa
and take the stump on behalf OF the
stand patters in opposition to Governor
Albert B. Cummins, who is a candidate
for third term in the gubernatorial
chair and who, from the stand pat
viewpoint, is busily engaged in preach
ing rank beresy on the tariff question.
I am not in the confidence of Secretary
Shaw and could not, therefore, make
nv affidavit as to why he shook the
snows.of washington off his shoes and
fastened to his own bailiwick during
the spring equinoctial storms; but, put
ting two and two together to make
four, / can give guess satisfactory to
myself at least Three facts are known
-dl Secretary Shaw is candidate for
the presidential nomination; (2) he is
the prince of stand patters; CD he can
not hope to capture the presidential
nomination unless he has the Hawkeye
delegation solidly and enthusiastically
at his back. True in 1892 Grover Cleve-
land was nominated without the New
York delegation fact in spite of it
--but everybody worth considering
knows that it was the resentment en-
gendered in the minds of western and
southern Democrats by David B. Hills
snap convention Feb. %, 1892, which
gave Grover the plum. Secretary Shaw
is too wise a man to take the Cleve-
land nomination as precedent. He
knows that the Iowa delegation is in all
human probability sine qua non to
his own nomination My conclusion
from these facts is that the secretary's
friends in Iowa have conveyed to him
the information that Governor Cum
minis was making converts to his
heresy and that unless Secretary Shaw
| got busy Cummins would not only be
renominated for governor, but would
bag the Iowa delegation to the next
Republican national convention for
himself That would be the end of Sec
rotary Shaw's presidential hopes and
would be the most killing blow that
could fall upon him except death it.
self. So he speedily hied him to Iowa.

The kaiser,s Ambition.

It is beginning to percOlate through
the brains of men that Kaiser Wilhelm
is wise and farseeing statesman. His
absorbing ambition is a greater Ger
many which shall embrace the Ger
manic portion of the Austro Hungarian
empire. This being added to the pres
ent German empire would make it cas-
lily the first power in Europe and the
master of the Mediterranean. The pow
WOW at Algeciras is mere bagatelle
to the plan working in the kaisers
head to secure the Germanic portion OF
the vast realm now presided over by
the venerable Emperor Francis Joseph,
who is well stricken in years and in
feeble condition physically. His death
cannot in the nature of things be much
longer postponed. With his demise will
come a remaking of the European map.
That will be the kaiser's opportunity.
1t will be remembered by students of
history that the accession OF the En-
press Maria Theresa was the opportu-
nifty seized by Frederick the Great to
enlarge the Prussian kingdom by an
nexing Silesia vi ct armis. True, it
got Frederick into two wars, in one of
which-the seven years war-he fought
Russia, Austria, France and Sweden
combined and triumphed over them all,
holding on to Silesia. History is al
most certain to repeat itself on much
larger scale when Francis Joseph shut

Lambs and EIeeces.

In their last circular letter to an
eager and expectant world Messrs.
Henry Clews & Co, bankers, Of Wall
street make the sad remark, THE
stock market has been in state of
comparative lethargy,' which probably
means that sundry lambs, considering
the raw weather, prefer to keep their
fieeces on their own backs rather than
yield them to the Wall street shearers.
Some high financier once said that
there is a new crop Of Wall street
lambs born every year, which was
recasting of the cynical saying Of
Phineas 7. Barnum that the people like
to be humbugged and the more recent
remark that a new sucker is born ev-
cry minute. This year the crop of Wall
street lambs is short; hence these tears.

The old rule of the senate custom,
more properly speaking that new
member of that august body should be
seen, not heard, during his first two
years of service is now more honored
in the breach than in the observance.
Carmack of Tennessee paid no atten-
ton to it. He began speaking almost
the very day he was sworn in. Ray
ner of Maryland had hardly warmed
his seat until he delivered great ora
ton. La Toilette of Wisconsin seems
