Proctor X. Owens on Parties.

To the Editor of The Times am
not ashamed that at one time was
member OF the Democratic party
There is now no great issue between
the Democratic and Republican parties
in this state. and any patriotic citizen
may consistently affiliate with either
party. The important question In
Michigan today is, shall the state De
misgoverned by corrupt politicians
constituting rims" who have PUN
dered the people and disgraced the
state, or shall IL be governed by the
servants OF the electors OF the state
who have the interests Of the public

The Republican party is in such
majority that the minority party Is
helpless. and reform, II IL comes a.

party itself, and therefore any man
who desires the fair name OF Michigan
to be maintained. ought at this time,
at least. 10 be Republican. There are
times when one must love his state
and country more than any political
party.
Has the time come when so-called
committee OF about so or 90 members
OF the bar can dictate to at least sew
enty-five thousand voters, who a nom
inee should be, and then have II so
fixed that large number OF said vot'
ers. and perhaps a majority who might
desire To vote against such appointed
nominee should be disfranchised? IL
such is 10 be the course, now and In
the future then it will only be short

Impartial, reading men know that Re-
publican Abraham Lincoln was non

| Cleveland, was also a non-partisan.
and that each loved his country bet
ter than any political organization.
Shall the political fortunes OF the
Republican party, or any party be in

tions and manipulate conventions,
without coming to Ballot? Shall q
candidate be named by few inter

and then shall the resolutions OF such
a convention, and the action OF such
lawyers bar other aspirants-or shall
all men have an equal opportunity

glad | am TO see you.
She was holding her telegram In
both hands behind her. Ernest looked
surprised al such an unwonted display
of enthusiasm He hesitated and then
plunged boldly on, while Jacqueline
looked at him. her eyes trimming with
mirth. her white teeth showing In a
be witching smile.

By the decadeucc Of the yeomaHry
of England the country has been shorn
OF half its strength. and only the float
ing fortresses Of the navy prevent the
dissolution Of the greatest empire of
modern times. If the immense estates
could be broken fup into small hold
ings. and the cottages erected thereon
were owned by the men who live in
them and till the soil. there would be
no fear OF invasion. The ownership Of
a home imparts a feeling that can be
inspired from no other source, and a
sense of dignity and pride of posses
sion that becomes q bulWark against
foreign foes and the insidious propa-
ganda of the Socialists who want q di-

REVISION OR NEAR-REvIstoN.

Washington dispatches tell OF q
struggle now going on between the
friends Of real revision and the near
revisionists in congress as to how the
maximum and minimum rates shall be
Established in the new tariff As the
Payne Aidrich Cannon combination
had it planned. the established rates
were to prevail with such countries as
give the United States trade conces-
sions, but other countries were to be
penalized by the maximum rate. an in
crease of 20 per cent over the estab-
lished duty.
Against this view is a sentiment that
the established rate should be the max
imum, and reduction of % per cent
be allowed to those nations which have
no retal!atory duties. The meat of the
problem is in the fact that the Payne
bill, as proposed, offers no real reduc-
ton from the DingIey schedules; and
in addition it proposes a 20 per cent
increase under certain conditions It
is argued that the new arrangement
would probably result in the displace-
ment of the most important reciprOc-
ity treaties that have been adopted
and that the net result would probably
he tariff war with the most important
consumers Of American fOOdstuffs,
which form the bulk of exports.
No one knows, Of course, what the
final maximum minimum plan will be,
but it seems certain the American con-
sumner Is TO get no relief from the bur
den OF tariff taxation through the mo-
nopolies. which are the principal bene-
ficiar.es OF the Dingley tariff and are
INTENDED to have the benefits of what
ever Law is passed at this session.

nHANcE FOR NEW MEMBERS.

The revision of the tariff is q golden
opportunity to new members of con-
gress. especially those from districts
affected by the Payne bill. Unless a
rule is brought in and debate throt-
tied. each and every one will arise and
rend the air for a few moments and
make what the folks at home will be
given TO understand is a great tariff
speech. If the new member be denied
the privilege of the floor by the pow
ers that be he will be given leave to
print. and his particular district viii
be flooded with copies of the Congress
sional Record containing the combined
wisdom of himself and his private sec
rotary.
Taking the tariff question as a whole,
a wide field is offered the ambitious
statesman who has just been discov-
cred in some remote section of the
country. He can expend his vceabu-
larry several times over without know
ing what he is talking about, and SIT
down in blissful confidence that his
constituents don't know either-in fact,
no one on earth has ever been able to
fathom the mysteries and intricacies

AUSTRIA BACKED BY GERMANY.

1t has become painfully evident to
the French and British governments
that the attempted isolation of Ger
many is a rank failure, the settlement
OF the Balkan trouble in favor of Aus
tria, which had the support OF Ger
many, furnishing ample proof that the
BTitish-FrancO-R Russo entente is not
strong enough to put a quietus on the
other powers outside the charmed cir
Gle. Great Britain leads the world in
battteships and war vessels of ali de-
scriptions, while France has a power
full navy. and Russia millions of SOL
diers. such as they are. yet the stolid
Germans pursue the even tenor of their
way and interpose their strong arm in
every quarrel that comes up, whether
it be in Morocco, Turkey OF the Bal
kans, and heed is given to their wishes.
France still remembers Metz, Sedan
and the Siege of Paris, and has a
wholesome respect for the German
army. while the English people have
been thrown into a fever of excitement
recently upon learning of the extent
of the German naval program. Appar-
emily the ministers of the kaiser are
willing to risk war rather than to
submit to even the slightest degree Of
humiliation. although it would seem
certain that their warships would be
swept from the seas in short order.
At the same time it seems equally GER
q Z
become involved and that the map Of
the continent would have TO be changed
before peace was declared.
In the course of a few years the Ger
mans will have an immense navy. I'M
less there is an international agree
ment limiting ornaments IN the mean
time. or the nations become bankrupt
in the mad race of Dreadnaught build
ing. Whether the conflict can be post
poned until that time remains to be
seen.
As TO the dispute between Austria
and Servia over the gobbling up of
two Turkish provinces by the former
power. nothing remains to be said ex-
cept, perhaps, that mineemeat would
have been made of the SeTvians if they
had appealed to arms. Austria is
thief. but that fact has been known
for centuries. more especially since the
partition of Poland, in which both Rus
STA and Prussia participated. So long
as Servia maintains her autonomy it
would be the part of wisdom for the
little Balkan state TO bottle up her
wrath and not force a fight which
would mean humiliation.
