Republican Reunion

Confabs about q reunion of the re-
publican party continue. Now mem.
bers OF the so-called old guard dis.
cuss matters. Now the so-called pro
gressive republicans have n session.
And now men who were bull moosers
last year but see no reason for the
continuation of party under that
name met and exchange views about
present issues and future duty. As
they say in Dublin, tits well.
A proposition for national confer
ence on the subject has met with diff
ilculties owing to the protracted ses.
sion OF Congress. When /. was
thought the session would end at lat.
est by the middle of July, with only
tariff revision for the record. a nur,
Der CT managing politicians agreed
that Ii would be well to discuss re.
union plans this coming autumn.
But autumn is almost here. Con.
gress is still in session. the tariff is
still undisposed of. currency reform
Is new live issue. and a date next
winter or spring for the meeting is
suggested. And that is well.
As matter OF fact. things politi
cal are just now every much mixed
On beth sides of the fence. Republi-
can troubles are matched by demo-
'ratic troubles. The latter are a IL,
tie under cover and restraint. but
may break cut and create havoc any
day IL has not been easy TO handle
the tariff and the currency problem
Is causing great anxiety. The demo.
cratic leaders by their different pro-
positions are feeling the popular
pulse. and as yet hardly know what
to make Of the beats.
Then there is the Mexican bust
ness. That, Of course, is not PARTS
an. since in the event OF war both
parties will support the national
cause. But IL war comes and sbould
give promise of a long struggle. all
strictly partisan issues will for n
time be subordinated TO the one over.
snadowing patriotic issue. And even
u the Mexican business clears now
u may cloud again in a few months
and whenever it does cloud il will
have the right OF way in public con.
sideration.
For these reasons those who have
az heart the rehabilitation of the re-
publican parry need not regret the de-
lay about a national conference
There is plenty Of time for-effecfive
work before the contest for the next
House begins. and every occurrence
meanwhile should be carefully noted
