were more generous even than the re-
publicans had been. The laugh was
on them. and they had to stand it.
Shall we see them in a way repeat
this mistake? Is it their purpose to
play politics again with the issue of
economy? Are they going to make
the pruning-knife a factor in next
years campaign? Do they fancy they
can hew their way to success with
that instrument?
This government should at all times
be well supported. We are all proud
Of it. and those who have looked into
its ramihcations and operations know
its necessities. Skimping it would
not be economy by any means. Prob
ably the reverse.
The times are hard, but the govern
ment must go on. Some big plans
indeed. are growing out of the times
We are striving for more trade. We
are coming to see our deficiencies in
the matter of the national defense.
We should not think of reducing the
sum of any of our important fixed
charges. Business is business, and If
the democratic party expects re-
newal of its lease of power it must
do business on business principles.
Its talk about, economy now must
pass under a strong glass. and under
go a thorough inspection.

The Next House.

The prcliminaries for organizing the
next House are at hand. AS respects
the Offices, no contests are announced
Those in commission have discharged
their duties so satisfactorily they Will
be reelected. All are competent men.
and good democrats.
Again Mr. Clark will be Speaker.
and again with no other powers than
those of a presiding officer. He will
name no committees. share in no COM
nittce work. Gavel in hand. he will
listen to debates. and decide points of
order and put motions to adjourn.
Thus the majority will deprive itself
OF the larger equipment of its ablest
member 1t will put practically out
of action its best fighter. No dis
paragement of anybody is carried in
the statement that Mr.. Clark stands
at the head on that side of the cham
Der. He is easily the foremost orator
and debater among his brethren. and
as legislator has had long and val
liable experience. All this will count
for nothing with Mr.. Clark in the
chair without functions or influence
as respects business.
The leader on the floor will be
leader indeed. His power will dwarf
by comparison the little left the
Speaker.
If this arrangement becomes settled
in House affairs we shall see the
speakership lose its attraction for
strong men and its largest value to
the country. If the opportunity to in
fuencc legislative matters remains
changed from the chair to the floor.
men OF force and ambition will try
for the post of most consequence.
The speakership will fit best parlia-
mentary experts and authorities.
In this matter, as in the matters of
the tariff and economy, the democ-
raoy has not made good. Tariff re-
vision did not lower the cost of hv-
ing or hearten business. and appro-
priations for the support of the gov
ernment have not been reduced. No
iioiC Ids lSuuSiiiS tlC SpCdhCi u liii-
potence in House affairs improved
the competence of committees, or
made debate freer or fairer.
What was called Cannonism was Of
fered as the reason for the change
1t was charged that the Speaker in
naming the committees formed them
to suit special purposes and thus
sighted good men, and that in shar-
ing in the work OF the rules commit
tee he helped gag the House
Il has now been demonstrated that
committee on committees makes no
improvement on the old plan of Sc
lection. and that the House can be
gagged without the aid of the Speak
er. Cannonism, it is clear, was mere
ly campaign bugaboo, and had no
substance or foundation in fact.
Why, then, continue to use what was
obtained by the employment OF
myth?

in other institutions than the postal
savings bank representing this ac-
emulation. 1t may be that no less
than 100000 will, in the course
of a year of European warfare, be
kept in this country that otherwise
would go to the folks back home" IN
the form of remittances from emf
grants. The economic effect of this
retention of cash in the United States
is obvious, and correspondingly the
lack of this American money in the
European countries from which mi
grafton proceeds to the United
States has doubtless been severely
felt. 1t remains to be seen whether
after the war these savings now ac-
cumulating in the postal banks and
elsewhere will go abroad or will be
kept here to add to the prosperity of
the immigrants.

A Sudden Senate Change.

The situation in the Senate with re-
spect to the shipping bill has changed
so suddenly that the uncertainty
caused by the ilibuster against the
bill is now rendered doubly uncer-
tain With the detection of seven
democrats from the ranks of the bills
supporters the republicans yesterday
afternoon found themselves quickly
shifted from position of defense, re-
quiring the most incessant watchful-
ness, to a position of offense, against
which the erstwhile majority was
compelled to seek shelter behind d
motion to adjourn, which had been
carefully avoided for week past.
With this shift in the alignment OF
the Senate the bill is menaced with
defeat unless it is materially modified
by amendments that will win it new
support. Already such amendments
are in process of shaping and by
means of them at least two progress
sive republicans are hoped for as re-
cruits, but against these two may
perhaps be offset the votes of two
democrats who are opposed to the
amendments projected. Thus what
appeared to be a stubborn test of
strength and endurance has now
quickly changed into a legislative
situation of delicacy and complexity.
Meanwhile the republican flibuster
against the bill in chief is by no
means ended. and if, when the
changes and adjustments are effected,
it is not satisfactory the debate"
may continue without immediate
prospect of action

A Dry Island.

From the Boston Post.
Incidental to the project Of personal
reform through national prohibition. 1t Is
to be noted that the parliament of Ice
land has made "a law forbidding the sale
of alcoholic liquors within its jur.sdic-
ton While Iceland is a Danish colony
and subject to the authority of King
Christian. its parliament has control or
local affairs, and the experiment now
undertaken will undoubtedly be carried
out without interference 1t has sig
nificance more especially because of the
recent autocratic edict making dry the
great territory of the empire Of Russia.
So far this latter seems to have proved
successful Iceland. with some $4,000 in
habitants. ought to be able to control the
matter as effectively as has been done
with the millions of vodka drinkers in
Russia. 1t is not an affair of local option,
however, but of national preference. and
in this respect it may be instructive in
it's operation
