The Garden Incident Closed Here.
The British ambassador here has left
no room to doubt the attitude of his
government in regard to the alleged

tive to the withdrawal of the Ameri.

this government and Great Britain
and leaves no possible ground for dis
pleasure or embarrassment. And now
remains for the consideration of the
London government the question Of

has been repudiated as unwarranted
and Objectionable in any case. The
former ambassador from England to
Mexico Is on the ocean on his way to
London. He win doubtless deny using
the language attributed to him. 1t Is
scarcely conceivable that he will

published and thereby expose himself

The Senate and Gag Rule.

The Senate's rules were not framed
under partisan influences or for parti-

been administered In a partisan way.
Whether the man in the chair was a
republican or democrat, the Senate
always felt assured Of an impartial
Interpretation Of its code Of procedure.

see. Both were the stoutest Of parti-
sans. but when presiding over the Sem
ate neither was ever in the least de-
gree swayed by his craftsmanship Both
were thorough parliamentarians, and
both ruled so strictly according to par
liamentary lights that democrats felt
as safe with Mr.. ingalls, in the chair
as republicans did with Mr.. Harris
there.
Full and free debate in the Senate
has never served a better purpose
never more signally justified itself
than since this Congress assembled.
But for the rights reserved to the
minority, and exercised by it. tariff re-
vision, currency revision and trust
revision would have taken very OBJ
jectionable forms The House did its
work in haste. and some of 1t under
gag rule. The result was crudeness,
dangerous to business, and protested
by business.
Appeals were made by business to
the Senate, and were needed. AS no
gag rule was possible there, amend
ments could be offered and debated.
Even democratic senators welcomed
the opportunity to remedy what the
House under different procedure had
sent over. and the President, by sign
ing the measures thus changed by the
Senate, Endorsed the Senate's course.
There were democratic protests yes
terday against the move made in the
interests of the rivers and harbors
bill, and they were well stated. They
were the stronger, too, as coming from
senator's not inimical to improvements
of that kind. But they took broader

September and November.

The democrats have a right to the
satisfaction they feel in the Maine re-
suit 1t is a minority victory, but
serves. It will hearten them in their
campaigns elsewhere. They will work
with more confidence everywhere. The
more optimistic of their leaders see a
forecast of another democratic House
something that looked doubtful few
weeks ago.
In 1890 the republicans, then in full
control of the. national government,
carried Maine in September, but lost
the country in November. When
Maine voted. the Mckinley tariff bill
was still before the Senate. When the
country at large voted the bill had be-
come law.
The contest in Maine that year was
between the two old parties. Neither
party was divided. There was some
sulking in republican circles over Gen.
Harrison's awards of the federal pat
ronage. bpt it did not take the form of
open opposition to the party's state
and congressional tickets.
This year the republicans were open
ly divided, and the democrats slipped
through, as two years ago. Such union
as existed in 1890 would have given the
state to the republicans by large ma
jorities last Monday.
Shall we see history repeat itself?
Shall we see the general result in No
vember differ from that Of the Maine
result recorded in September?
Not unless what remains of bull
moosery collapses between now and the
general election day. The bull moos-
ers are assistant democrats, running
their candidates for the purpose of
putting the republicans at disadvan-
tage. and rejoicing at democratic sue
ceases when achieved with their aid.
The bull moose strength Of 1912 has
everywhere greatly diminished. In
some states it has all but disappeared.
Large numbers Of men who had never
before scratched republican national
ticket scratched Mr.. Taft. They sup
ported Mr.. Roosevelt. and gave him a
vote impressive for size. But since
then many Of these men have returned
to their old Affiliations. Their action
in 1912 ended their protest, and the old
party is again good enough for them.
Those still holding out are in the
main men who hope to see Mr.. Roose-
welt President again. and are trying to
force him on the republican party as
its presidential Candidate against Mr..
Wilson. Small in number as they are
by comparison with the muster Of 1912,
they. vet hope to win by showing that
only through complete union Of the
OPPOSITION can Mr.. Wilson be defeated,
and by insisting on the only terms they
will consider for union.

Mexico,
From the New York Evening Post.

In more ways than one, the with
drawal of the American troops from
Vera Cruz, ordered by the President
yesterday, is the ending Of a notable
chapter of history. What story the
new chapter in Mexico's annals will
tell remains matter open for conjecture
which must take its color
as much from the temper of the OBJ
server as from the record that lies be-
hind us. Some look forward with con-
fidence, others with hope, still others
with rooted distrust that anythin@
good can ,me out Of self-rule in a
country that has SO long a history of
turbulence and revolution behind it.

SPRING COSTUMES AT READS
Unusual Display of a Very Attractive
 Nature At Well Known Store.


 One receives note of hope and a. promise that spring is not far away by a trip through our large depart ment stores. One of the most t,eauti- ful in it's spring attire is the D. M. Read and Go. store.
 A trip through the suit department is indeed a pleasure The suits are all copies of French models and.s best of all they are popu1arly priced. The very latest dictates of fashion have been adhered to in the mi1feret skirt, the short coat, cut off abruptly in front and extending into. decided little tails in the back. the pannier, the Xii mona sleeve and all of the little touch es which mark the difference between the garment of today and that of yes terday. Reseda Green seems to be a suits were fashioned from that be- coming shade. They are trimmed with silk buttons and sashes of a self shade and finished with a collar of hand embroidered white crepe de chine or batiste which adds dainty touch to the costume.
 Delft blue is another favOrite. color for suits and on one of these even the buttons are especially designed to correspond with the embroidery which trims the costume. Handsome indeed are the costumes in blue and g has it's place One striking suit oz.this shade was fashioned on the loose lines with long kimona Sleeves. A hand lent pretty collar of white batiste lent ap retty note to the ensemble.
 Nor are the dressy suits the only ones displayed, business costumes in a gray and white stripe made on an ex- tremely mannish cat are also to be seen.
 Equal in beauty and style to the suits are the spring coa6s, equisite Httae wraps siLkIned in self or con- trast1ng tones, handsomely trimmed or the plain, stylish baIInaeaan. Nor is the. elderly lady forgotten for the most sedate would not hesitate to don the exquisite cloalfs ,of black moire vaIour which are shown.
 Soft silks and crepes seem to be the most popular material for the new one piece dresses and in these plain coIors vie with those printed with dear old fashioned figures of grand mothers time.
 The slinky pett1coat. with a snugIy fitting jersey top comes in every con- suit.
 Among the materials displayed in the piece are. beautiful Egyptian crepes in wonderful shades to which the conventialized lotus flower lends the proper mysterious note of the land figured crepes in all of the newest shades
 The cottons repeat the shades and figures of the silks.
 Among the 1aces one new and par tscularly beautiful piece of fIounc- ing was Of finely embroidered batiste on tinsiI silk net f1ouncdng, another was of gold co1ored silk net gf1ouncing embroidered with silk petunfaz in ma fural colors. Finely embroidered ba- 1iste comes both in white and linen colors, in gaioon bandfngs. Houncings and edgings while the a11-Over em- broidered badste is suitable for coll lars, yokes and sleeves. rJor is this all or nearly. all of the BsautifuI articles displayed in the store, as trip through it will con- vince.
