Democrats Will Help Foraker.

The result Of this inquiry has been that
several democrats have determined that
they will join in Senator Foraker's demand
for an investigation by the committee on
military affairs. Among these is said to be
Senator Tillman, who will speak upon the
resolution when it is called up. Senator
Daniel is another democrat who is under
stood to take practically the view of Mr..
Foraker. He, too, is likely to give his
views upon the Presidents action on the
Brownsville incident.
On the republican side the favorable i'm
preston that was made by Senator For
akers remarks upon his resolution is well
known, but while there has been given very
general support to his views, there are
many senators who have been considering
the Presidents message and accompanying
papers with great care since the adjourn
ment of Congress, in order to determine
just what their course will be.

TILLMAN IS WITH FORAKET

The course of many democrats IN the
Senate in approving the action of the Presf-
dent in the discharge, without honor, of the
colored battalion for alleged participation
in shooting up the town of Brownsville.
Texas has been accepted by republican
senator's who are contending that d full in
quiry should be made into that affair with
out any evidence of dissatisfaction. These
republicans declare that if the democrats
approve such a course they will only place
themselves on the wrong side of the con-
troversy without affecting the result.
1t is claimed by republican senator's that
they coul, have passed the Foraker reso-
luton providing for a thorough investiga-
ton into the alleged wrongdoings of the
coiored battalion on the day of Senator
Foraker's speech. if he had cared to Pr IS

They still claim that they can pass it af-

regard to what the evidence shows. They
say they have merely commended thai the
evidence submitted to the Senate by the
President on which his action was based
is insufficient: that as shown by Mr.. For
aker there were but eight witnesses.
among all whose testimony formed tie
basis Of the Presidents action. who
claimed that they actually saw any of
the flOtlnS OIL which tne COlOfeQ tToopeTS
are charged.
Who Were the Guilty Men?
If the investigation proves that the bat
talon ie guilty, the question will then lie
to determine who were the guilty men.
If no additional information is secured.
the men will have had the advantage Of
a thorough and impartial inquiry into inc
events for which they are charged with
being responsible. That, they say, is the
main purpose Of the proposed invest;Sa
ton. They want these men to have a
hearing, so that they may have an eppor-
tunity either tesclears themselves sor to
develop all the available facts.
The announcement that Senator Cut
berson regards the course of the President
as justified was no surprise to those who
have kept Informed of the sentiment in the
Senate. But while Senator Culberson' 8
views will have great weight in influencing
the votes of other southern democrats, it
is very well understood that the democratic
side will be far from solid when the Foraker
resolution comes to vote The question
of the Brownsville incident is one that had
not been carefully examined by many
senators at the time Mr. Foraker made his
speech. Many of them have since looked
into the statements in the case very care
fully.

Hudson True Republican: BY the
stubborn position Mr.. Bryan has TAX
en- on the makeup of the national
democratic committee very impor-
tant point is brought out: that the
Democratic party has not been strict
enough in the kind of men 1t has chos-
en- rs leaders. \ national party can
not command the respect OF the best
people with man like Tom Taggart
as the head of its committee. Demo.
cracy Is the party of the common peo-
pie but not OF the slums nor the buns
1t is great mistake to imagine for u
minute that honesty is confined to the
lower walks of life. On the other
hand II there is any thing in the world
that will not touch elbows with the
disreputable 1t is true democracy.
For this reason Taggart has no bust
ness on the national COMMITTEES; and
we venture the prediction that Mr..
Bryan will not make the next cam
paign with him at the helm of the ma
chine.
