Democrats os the sixty-second Con-
gress six weeks before the life OF
that Congress begins, for the pur-
pose os. expediting tariff reform
promptly, thoroughly and intelli-
gently. and thereby Fastening the
redemption of our promises. All
sorts of lurid prophecies had been
INDUCED in by hostile papers and
hostile men about how we would go
to pieces at that caucus. AS mat
ter of fact, 1t was one of the most
harmonious caucuses ever held in
Washington, sort OF Democratic
love-feast, where speech was abso-
lutely free. There was much speech,
but It was all in a good natured
way. The caucus did much to pug
zle and confound our enemies, also
much to please and encourage DEM
ocrats. So 1t is clear that we are
keeping the faith as to reforming
both the tariff and the rules.
Over in the Senate. the Democrats,
aided by handful OF insurgent Re-
publicans, are keeping the faith by
an honest and earnest endeavor to
submit q constitutional amendment
providing for the election of United
States Senators by popular vote. OF
course, the House will pass it with a
whoop, as it has done in five Con-
crosses. There never has been a
sound or sensible argument advanc-
ed against that proposition. The
closer every political function is
brought to the great body of the peo-
pie, the better for all concerned. The
people can be trusted. There is some
thing wrong with the man afraid to
trust them. Such a man is very
unreliable guide, counselor and
friend. Should the standpatters de-
feat this resolution. Democratic leg
islatures will do the next best thing
by adopting the Oregon plan until
election by popular vote can be le-
CALLED by Congress. which is GER
tain to happen eventually as the sun
is TO rise again.
In both Houses Democrats are trv-
ing to enforce economy IN the pub
lie expense that labor may be light
" bnrdened"-the old and correct
Jeffersonian doctrine.
So I report progress to the Ameri-
can people, confident that from time
to time can report more progress
the more the better.

one pleasant to contemplate. This
is what happened part of two days
last week, when Representative
James R. Mann, of Chicago, and a
handful of members opposed to the
consideration of the omnibus claims
bill, a measure full of honest and
unpaid Southern debts on the part
of the Government, for twenty-six
hours prevented action by quibbling,
pickering. parliamentary tricks and
delays. Plainly, for the benefit of
the people who pay the bills, the
House rules need changing.

WORLDS SPORTSMEN
 MAY ORGANIZE

New York, February 16.-The horse- mems dinner. held last night, at which August Belmont announced his intention of giving several valuable stallions to the government for breeding purposes, prob ably will lead to the starting of an as- sociation of horsemen. binding together more closely such organizations as the Jockey club and the Polo association, the various hunt clubs and the steeplechase committees. AS suggested by Harry w. Smith of Worchester. who arranged for the dinner. the organization will be . broad one, open to all sports of turf and field.
 We plan," he says, ito make 1t open to sportsmen in the broadest sense of the world, including members both here and abroad. From every foreign country al- most weekly come gentlemen who aro fond of country life and have made @ life study of horses, hounds and other animals
 ''The provision of entry should be only that the prospective member be a sports man and a gentleman in his home town. There Is no reason for restricting the membership to certain cities, for why should one wait till he takes up a resi- dence in some center of population be- fore he is allowed to mingle with the sportsmen of America? The main thing Is to restrict 1t to sportsmen. for we are really an exclusive class, and the true sportsman has language of his own and a meaning to his words which others can never understand"
