ONE PROBABLE REASON.

ONE PROBABLE REASON.
A Washington correspondent writes
entertainingly on the political changes
now so strongly indicated by the
trend OF primary events in various
parts OF the country. He concludes
that by reason OF these changes the
Republican party il likely to lose
heavily In the East, but that in the
West the change Is mainly Indicative
OF a purpose to convert the policy OF
the party from conservatism--if such
it be--to radicalism.
There may be something in this
CONCLUSION, especially as it refers to
a change in the national policy of the
Republican party. but there is another
element in the pending campaign. es-
pecially in the East. which may more
largely account for the manifest and
threatening drift of public sentiment
against that party. And il may make
Itself felt in election results In some

State elections are being held this
year, and only in respect of the choice

The administrative and financial de-

the Anal Government and the constitu-

placing of the financial departments in
the hands Of Mr.. Collins probably will
mean, for instance, that the forwarding
of customs and excise funds to London
will cease forthwith and these and other
receipts will be used directly to pay the
expenses of the Government. The de-
tails of this are among the first things
which Mr.. Duggan and others who have

Serious work is cut out for both the

what might be expected, two military
