NO BREAK AMONG REPUB-

LlCANS.
Democratic politicians and newspa-
pers are saying that there is a split
in the republican party which por-
tends trouble in the congressional
campaign of 1906. says the Globe
Democrat. This is because of the
action taken by the senate on the
Philippine tariff, on the Santo Do
mingo treaty, and on statehood. They
are mistaken. Nothing like a rupt-
ure has come. There have been some
disagreements on measures of poll
cy between the president and the
house on the one side and the senate
on the other. The Santo Domingo
affair is not a subject, however,
which comes before the house. A
treaty which the president favored
continuing the receivership which
we have established over Santo Do
mingo is before the senate II has
been amended in certain particulars,
and the president, it is understood,
favors the amendments. But it is
said that the treaty will fail of rati-
fication. That point is still to be de-
termined, however. If il fails, it will
be because>of democratic opposition.
Every republican senator. so. far as
known, stands ready TO vote for the
treaty. If the treaty fails the same
object can be accomplished Ny a joint
resolution, which requires only ma
jority vote. .,.-...s .s.D
On the Philippine and the state
hood questions the last word has not
yet been said. 1t is the intention of
Senator Lodge. backed by the bulk
of the republicans as sooE as state
hood is disposed of. to attempt to
bring the Philippine measure before
the senate in the exact shape it had
when it passed the house. Senator
Lodge processes to be confident of
success for the bill. On the state
hood measure the outlook is in
doubt. The house republicans, it is
believed will stand out for the Ham
ilton bill. consolidating the four
territories into two states. Their
hope is that they can force the sem
ate to recede. On this issue some
thing more than statehood is in
volved. There has been disposi-
ton for many years past for the SEN
ate to dictate TO the house on i'm
portant measures of legislation, even
on matters involving revenues. Many
members of the house believe that
this spirit ought TO be fought. This
issue will figure, to some extent in
the contest between the two branches
on statehood. The statehood fight
between the two houses will begin
on March 10.
II must be understood. however,
that republican harmony in the con-
eressional campaign will not be af-
fected in the slightest degree by the
result on the Philippine tariff, the
Santo Domingo treaty or the state
hood bill, whatever it may chance to
be. The rate regulation bill is still
to be acted on by the senate, and the
outlook favors its passage in that
chamber in some form that win be-
