Depew Discovers New Boss.
After sitting through many weeks
Of the tariR debate and witnessing
day after day the control which SEN
ator Aldrich had over the situation,
II remained for Senator Depew to
discover and figuratIvely take of his
hat to another boss. who. he intl-
mated. could give cards and spades"
to any with whom he had ever been
acQualnted---and surely Chauncey
knows party boss when he sees
one II any one does.
The gentleman to whom Depew
paid his respects lives and moves
and has his party In Porto Rico. 1t
is called the unlonist party and just
because 1t could not get full control
of the government and change the
existing methods OF taxation, and do
number OF other things which
would subvert the form OF govern
ment established by the United
States, It refused, under the afore-
said leadership, to make any appro-
priations for the support of the Porto
Riean government for the present
flscal year. II was for that reason
that the American congress had to
pass bill changing the organic law
OF the island so that II any such
thing should occur again the same
amount OF appropriations as we're
made in the preceding year should be
considered appropriated for the next
year.
Having been familiar all my
life said the senator with long ex-
perience In New York, with party
leaders and party bosses. pay trib-
ute to the gentleman who absolutely
controls the unlonist party for hav-
Ing displayed skill in securing o
power and maintaining 1t which
places him In the front ranks OF po-
litical leaders He dominates the
house of delegates, having named all
its members. They do not even de-
eide upon legislation without pub
licly summoning him and his execu-
tive committee to their deliberations.
and In reaching out for the control
of the local judiciary under a bill
which would compel the governor to
appoint those nominated by him In
every locality he would have under
his control not only the legislation of
the island, the appropriation bills
and the expenditures. the Offices and
the salaries, but also the administra-
ton OF justice and the decisions Of
the courts"
That Is little more than Senator
Aldrich tried to accomplish.
What Is Tarin Reform
They spent considerable time in
the senate debating the question as
to what was meant by the promise

tional republican platform. Senator
Hepburn. republican, Idaho. said In
speech: ITO revise means to look
into. to see again. and to review for
the purpose OF correcting errors.
that Is all. and nothing more. All
this talk about revision meaning re-
vision downward Is merely captious
and frivolous sophistry and quib-
bling"
A reply by Rayner. democrat.
Maryland. that caused much merrl-
ment was to this effect; The sena-
tor from Idaho Is correct Revise

the Latin word re. again, and wi
