.sCAN THEY MANAGE WITHOUT
TLLMAN?-

Under the above heading the Wash
ington Post sums up the situation in
the senate over the railway rate bill. 1t
thinks the South Carolina senator has
the whip-handle Of the anti-rate. anti
Roosevelt republicans OF that body.
The editorial is written In that light,
seemingly frivolous vein, so often
adopted by The Post, and which
makes its editorials all the more inter
esting, while at the same time they
are full of hard, horse sense and sound
reasoning. The Post says:
Some of our thick-and-thin partisan
republican friends are not as happy
as We could wish. Their politics is a
Observation-Disclosures is rate max
ing between friends? And when the in
evitable shall oyertake the G. o. p.
they will ask. what is tariff-making
between friends? These are the gentle
men who call The Post a democrat for
being Independent, while the ouf-and-
cutters, on the other side. denounce The
Post as republican for its i~ndepend-
enee. They cannot understand a news
paper that is not an organ.
But to return to the question. Our
thick-and-thin republicans are trying
to persuade themselves that it is not
celebrate their escape from the wilder
ness in the patriotic verse of our grand
sires:
THE clouds from the face of the
heavens retired,
The wipds ceased to murmur, the thun-
ders expired"
They have fixed it all. 1t is to be a
oho~, H.
publican blood, and so beautiful and SO
lovely that Mr.. Aldrich of Rhode Is
land, and Nj. Dolliver, of Iowa; Mr..
Kean, of New Jersey, and Mr.. Clapp,
Of Minnesota, will all attend the bap-
tism and keep that bad old democratic
fairy, Ben Tillman, away, SO that he
a fetch no evil gift to queer the
aforesaid cherub: that is to say the
Hon. Tillman is rot in it at all. and
he might as we'll AXE his pitchfork
n stir some other legislative straw
stack.
We doubt if it can be done. Presi-
dent Roosevelt will "a a word to
say, and he is committed. Mr.. Aldrich
is committed. Mr.. Dolliver is commit
ted. 1t is understood-at least it is so
stated--that only twenty republican
senator's, including Mr.. Dolliver him
self, stand with the president. and that
leaves thirty-five republican senators,
excluding Mr.. Burton, who is not in
parliamentary life at this time. oppos-
ing the presidents policy. 1t would
be in the nature of the miraculous for
Senator Foraker and Senator Dolliver
to get together.
Then What is to be done? That is
easy; it is meat for Ben Ti1lman. All
they have to do is to give Mr.. Tillman
a chance. The president cannot do
without him.. Mr.. Dolliver is helpless
unless he shall come to the rescne. Mr..
Tillman is earnest in the faith, and it
looks as though he intends to nave a
ladle in the broth when it is served
1t will be remembered that Grover
Cleveland was reduced to the necessity
of calling in the republicans to aid in
repeating the purchasing clause of the
Sherman silver lava purely republi-
can measure, by the way: and now Mr..
Roosevelt must have democratic sup
port. or his paramount" will be sent
to the scrap heap.
History sometimes repeats.

Elections for municipal officers were
held in eleven cities of Maine last
Monday. The democrats carried six
of them and came within 16 votes of
electing the mayor o fBath. Among
the six in which the democrats were
successful was Rockland which they
had not carried in twenty-three years.
This does not look like the democratic
party is dead beyond the hope of
resurrection up that way.
