The Republican Slogan.

Mr.. Sherman, elected last night chairman
of the republican congressional committee
announces that the party slogan will be
pros perity," and adds:
In view of the present prosperous condi-
tons there should be no reason for a change
in the dominant party. The people under
stand generally why they are prosperous.
and republican candidates, putting faith in
the Intelligence of the American electorate,
expect, therefore. that in the next House
there will be a comfortable republican ma
iority."
A good deliverance. but should not be
construed to mean that the party should
stand stock-stIll In an era of great changes
brought about by the party's policies In
the matter OF the tariff the strongest ar
gument in favor of revision OF the Dingley
law is the fact that the law has assisted in
transforming conditions of almost unex-
ampled business depression to almost unex-
ampled business prosperity. The law is its
own reason for a change. as a garment
made for person in poor health is not ex-
pected to fit after robust health has been
recovered. Mr.. Sherman should add the
word progress" to his campaign slogan

Dowie and Dowieism.
u the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
To those who have not been brought
under the sway of DoWie, the logic of
the present state of affairs at Zion is pecui-
iarly instructive. Dowie was the founder,
organizer developer and leader of Zion. He
was so by virtue of the fact that he pro-
fessed to be Elijah the prophet 1t may be
that he believed himself to be Elijah That
is not for us to Judge. There is every rea-
son for supposing that his followers be-
lieyed him to be the prophet That Is to
say. the whole institution was founded upon
the belief or the pretension that he was a
divinely ordained, inspired and commits
almost unanimously declare Dowie to be a
spendthrift, liar, traitor. hypocrite
and man of ignorant mind and unclean
life. In spite of that. however. they Will
stand by Zion under another leader. who
was brought up at the feet of Dowie- They
will continue the play of DoWteism, with
Dowie left out. Now certainly, II Dowie Is
what they say, he is not and never was
the Prophet Elijah, nor any diyinely COM
missioned leader, but fraud and mounte-
bank. What. then, becomes OF ZionY A
concern founded by humbug, On basis
of lies cannot command respect and cannot
deserve loyal support. 1t did not matter
that outsiders thus denounced 1t long ago.
The essential thing is that its own leaders
and their followers are now themselves
practically unit In thus eharacterfzfng IT,
1t may be creditable to them that they cast
out him whom they regard as a 1aise
prophet But IL the cornerstone be rejected
what becomes of the whole structure?

Mr.. Longworth at Chicago.

Mr. Longworth, with his Chicago speech.
is few days ahead of his distinguished
father-in-law, but has not exhausted the
subject OF the Man With the Muck Rake
What the President shall say on Satur-
day will be widely read, and will influence
public sentiment in many directions.
When we come to think about 1t, there
lis nothing new In the current assaults on
politics and politicians. The theme Is as
old as government itself. Away back yon-
der some men were untrue to public trusts.
and the exposures brought spells of
what we call hystera For a time every
body, innocent and guilty alike. would be
subjected to the lash. But at no time were
men OF courage diSmayed. No man worthy
of his citizenship threw up the sponge and
cried out that all was lost Rather did
such men take closer account of what was
going on. and redouble their efforts In be-
half of good government.
Mr. Longworth himself Is of more value
in this matter than his words valuable
and worthy as they are. 4 man of large
private fortune, he might have been con-
tent simply to manage that in private sta
ton, and enjoy ease and seek pleasure. In
stead, he addressed himself TO public BUSH
ness. sought and obtained Office, and is now
a national lawmaker. His experience has
been such as to impress him favorably with
his associates. and to make him DESTROYS of
continuing In commission. He Is a candi-
date for reelection.
Politics means organization, but organiza-
ton does not necessarily mean a corrupt
machine. There are corrupt machines, and
their support Is sometimes thrown to
worthy men. But worthy men when In
office do not become corrupt because of
that support. They retain their character,
and vote upon measures according to their
own Judgment. They rarely are bulled and
never are bought. The public service today
is full of men whose aim is single to the
common welfare, and whose words and acts
are an inspiration to those who are to
come after. Grafters there are also of
course. When was there a time they did
not exist, and what makes them SO active
as great public prosperity?
There are public men today FESTIVE I'M
der unmerited assaults, bat none an
nounces an intention to retire because of
them. Many things need reforming, but
the men for such work are not those
whom mere clamor. however loud. can

Broken Pledges.

Mindful of the square deal In general and
the ome-rule-for-t he-Distrlct pledges Ut
tered IN the past by the republican party
President Roosevelt should have rewarded
the services OF Mr.. B. F. Barnes Of New
Jersey by appointing him TO the postmaster
ship Of Newark. which yields a salary as
large that Of Washington He would
then have been assured OF the enthusiastic
support OF all Washingtonians. who are
heartily glad whenever one Of their official
sojourners Is compllmented and rewarded
by presidential promotion within the proper
lines Indeed. so far as geographical ana

In January. 1899. a successor was to be
appointed to Mr.. James Willett a genuine

been the local postmaster. President Nc

OF Washington.
At this juncture the Washington Board OF
Trade. at a largely attended public meet

signed TO direct attention to thu fact that
tho President owed allegiance to higher
principle than that Of political exigency:
Whereas the official affairs OF munici-

democratic candidate for governor might

candidate OF the democracy. Hearst would
certainly be third. 1t was generally be-
lieved In Washington that with SuIzer as
the democratic standard bearer Bryan
would take the stump for him. OF course,
one reason that the congressman are so
anxious TO have Sulzer nominated for gov

nature of a qualified prohibition of the i'm

protection TO the American artist.-Chicago

The pretense that the tariff tax Is pro-
lection to American artists is simply ridicu-

man to get married" Affirmative,
Upton T. Rainbow, negative Charles

humorous as Rainbow eulogized the
ladies' and married life in particular,
while Tutwiler criticised the ladies
for their heartlessness and reckless
extravaganza At the close of the
debate the audience voted when
Rainbow for the afirmatice received
an overwhelming majority, MT. Cor
don Sayre rendered some exception

tar. The tenor solos by the talented
singer. Charles TUtwiler, were rem

Special mention might be made of
the flexible qualities and tone OF this
