DON'T BE q SURE.

i OF q democratic house la the
next Congress is increasing. At
washington. Representative Will
llams has already been hailed as the
coming speaker. This. however. is
counting speakers before they are
Matched. Yet many republicans are
apprehensive. One of he most I'M
inent OF them has privately given il
as his opinion that there will he a
democratic sweep in the next con
Eressional election. Prophosirs of
that kind are mostly vanity and veX-
alton of spirit. An accident may
easily change the situation radically.
President Roosevelt has always in
him the possibility If making cor
marring) his party. So il is just AS
we'll not 10 predict unless yc know F."
but the general expectation and cvi-
dent promise of great dcIyocratic
gains mus signify something. What
Is II? In our opinion, chiefly disgust
with republican "mishandling of the
tarin. This is especially the case in
New England, where the coolest re-
publicans admit hat there nay bee
almost a party revolution. But the
president laid his money ON the rate
bill, not on tarin revision. He will
doubtless get the former. but ne will
get 1t only after its political effect
has been thoroughly discounted: and
the tariff grievance remains untouch-
ed. IL he had not been frightened out
