A POLITICAL LESSON.

AS the balance of power. the insur-
gents in congress have been carrying
things with a high hand. They have
been able to dictate either to the re-
publicans or democrats, neither of
whom could act without them. But
on Friday the regulars demonstrated
to the insurgents that if they care to
be branded as republicans, and to re-
ceive republican help, they must ap-
preciate the fact that, all alone, the
insurgent band is a mighty small cali.
bred affair.
The republicans absented them
selves, leaving the insurgents and the
democrats with whom they have been
making love, together. Seeing theil
opportunity, the democrats cut loose
from their affinity and began voting
through democratic measures. The
insurgents, opposed to the measures
found themselves outvoted and help
less. They grilled the faithless demo
Gratis and uttered angry words against
the designing republicans who hat
thus left them in the lurch.
All of which demonstrates that the
balance of power" if it wants to ge
anywhere, must be faithful either t.
one side or the other in the fight that.

With all this talk about the cost of
living and the tax placed upon society
by the great number of middle men
which exist, it must be remembered
that we are demanding much in the
way of service and we must some
where along the line pay the price.
There needs to be an economy of time
as well as money. 1t is becoming too
easy and too natural to let the other
fellow do great many things that we
could just as we'll do ourselves.

There seems little doubt that the

be abrogated. But in any event there
will be an increasing trade between
two peoples so alike in tastes and sep
arated only by an imaginary line.
