Special Washington Letter.! THE great Republican party Is rear in twain on the tariff question. Tbe house Repub licans have had caucus after caucus to determine what they will do about the Cuban tariff. These caucuses hare been battles royal betwixt the reciprocity cohorts and the beet sugar crowd. The fight of the Kilkenny cats wasn't a marker to those of the Republican factions More pow er to their claws! Every time they en gage in a caucus the hopes of a Demo cratic house in the next congress in crease, a consummation devoutly to be wished. My venerable and vitriolic friend, General Charles Henry Grosve nor, in the early part of November de clared that the sweeping Republican victory in Ohio meant, inter alia, that there was no more chance of the Ding ley schedules being changed than there was that the Ten Commandments would be amended or repealed, which was putting it rather strong and pic turesquely. Now General Grosvenor is howling for a 20 per cent reduction of the tariff on Cuban products, which hows that the good, gray general is not too old to learn. For several days the edifying specta cle has been witnessed of such grave and eminent statesmen as lion. Sereno E. Payne of New York, Hon. John Dal zell of Pennsylvania and Hon. Chester I. Long of Kansas on one side and Hod. Charles E. LittleHeld of Maine, Hon. James Tawney of Minnesota and Hon. William Alden Smith of Michigan as representatives of the other side going about the house and lobbies electioneer ing as busily as candidates for consta ble. Sweat oozed out of their intel lectual foreheads and poured down their flushed faces as though they were the leading contestants in a world's cham pion long distance pedestrian race: Mr. Chairman Payne and the big Indians of his committee are not only fighting for reciprocity, but are battling to re tain the leadership of the Republican side of the house. It is a war to the death between the factions. What a Fall, My Countrymen! Surely the howling jingoes in this country must feel a little chopfallen when they realize that the Philippine propaganda has dragged us down to such a low mcrnl plane that Rudyard Kipling makes fun of us and justifies the brutal butchery of the Boers by alleging that in that beastly business the bloody Britishers are merely fol lowing our example in the Philippines. Among other sweet morsels which he rolls under his venomous tongue in this: "1 am very glad to learn on your show ing that the American seems to be con stitutionally incapable of admitting himself in the wrong and frankly put ting himself in the right, because I did not like to think of the Americans as any more logical than ourselves. Of course, says Mr. Kipling, "what a new country wants is a high ton?d despot of unlimited powers mid absolute integ rity" in which he differs widely from such old fogies as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jeffer son. Doleful. Governor Sanford B. Dole of Hawaii has been sent for posthaste to come to Washington to advise the powers that be as to how the numerous tangles in that faraway territory may be straight ened out, and he is coming as fast as steam can haul him. It is a fine' kettle of fish he must describe to the presi dent when he gets here. The cause of all the tz-ouble is that the Hawaiian people were always opposed to annex ation. I so stated on the floor of the house in the debate on annexation in 189S and dared the proponents of an nexation to submit the Newlmnds reso lutions to a plebiscite. They were afraid to do so and of course refused, all the time claiming, however, that the Hawaiians were clamorous for annex ation. The handful . of American ad venturers were, but not the real Ha waiians. Now that these latter have possession of the legislative machine they are making their opposition mani fest and are doing all they can to cre ate trouble; hence the hasty trip of Governor Dole. The Vital Issue. The New York Journal has entered upon a unique project that is, it has written to divers and sundry Dem ocrats asking each to write an article setting forth what appears to him as the vital issue now pressing for solu tion. The old field schoolmasters were wont to set us this copy when we were kids, "Many men of many minds," the truth of which will in all human prob ability be fully illustrated by the va rious answers, for, while it is a historic truth that there is in every campaign a dominant issue, there is always a multiplicity of issues. Each of these in the preliminary stages of a cam paign will be considered the most im portant by particular persons. So it will be in the present instance. The first to respond to The Journal's invi tation was ex-Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson, who wrote an able article an the tariff. I was the secondh and here is my answer in full: The vital issue before the American peo ple i3 this: "What shall be our permanent policy in the Philippines?" It goes to the root of our Institutions. A greater question was never debated among: men. for upon Its proper deter mination depends the perpetuity of the republic. a The tariff, trusts, finance, building of the isthmian canal and economy in' the public expense are all impprtant ques tions pressing for solution, but farreach- Ing and urgent as they are they in no wise involve the existence of free government.".---. -' ""-- ' ; " Jingo jugglers vociferously and -vehemently inslat that, the ,, overshadowing question as to our policy In the orient waa settled definitely and irrevocably , by the last election. Not so.; however. A multiplicity of .. issues contributed to the result of the campaign of 1900. Wil liam McKinley's wondrous personal popu larity was a large perhaps the decisive factor therein. : Mr. McKinley was many thousands of votes stronger than his party.' Many men who doubt the wisdom of our becoming an Asiatic sower supported Mr. McKinley by reason of his unfailing ami ability, and his blameless private life. While believing him wrong, they had im plicit faith, that at "last he would come around all right. They knew that he had changed his mind on that question radi cally once, swinging from : the American doctrine that "forcible annexation is crim inal aggression" to the un-American the ory of "benevolent, assimilation." They hoped that he would experience another change of heart and return to his original position. , : So far as his influence upon our destiny is . concerned, It ; would have been far preferable for Mr. McKinley to have been a bad man with good policies rather than a good man with bad policies, for it is as true today as when Shakespeare wrote it that "the evil that ; men do lives - after them." .. , " No love for him, hrwever Intense; no admiration for his virtues, however sin cere; no regret for his tragic death, how ever profound; no eulogism upon his char acter, however fervid, can alter or palliate the fact that by recanting his first opinion and by throwing the weight of his great name in favor of the Philippine propa ganda he involved the country In dire dif ficulties and placed our. institutions in im minent deadly peril. for 126 years we have vaunted ourselves as the propagandists of the idea of gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people. Now we are' engaged in crushing a people 7,000 miles away whose only offense is that they desire to practice the theory which we have preached from the housetops. Nor have we preached in vain, for, fol lowing our example and hearkening to our voice, twenty-six nations have shaken off their royal masters, broken their shackles and established tor themselves govern ments modeled upon ours. At this very moment the Boers of South Africa, inspired by the words of Jefferson and the deeds of Washington, are mak ing the most heroic fight for freedom re corded in the entire annals of the human race. To our ineffable shame be it said that while England haal been murdering those brave little republics we have stood by consenting like Saul at the stoning of Stephen. - , ..' ; '' Wherefore? Because we are engaged in the same sort of bloody business in the Philippines. We appear to have entered into a sort of tacit agreement with John Bull that if. he will not -interfere with our foreign conquests we will not raise our voice against his foreign conquests. Nor is it true. On the one issue of per manently retaining the Philippines and ruling them by the sword Democrats would have swept the land from sea to sea, for let it .not be forgotten that In 1900 it was in the east that we made substan tial gains and it was in the east that im perialism was most exploited as the domi nant issue. ; ',.."'-- ; The same per cent of gains spread all over the Union would have given us the victory. If we hope to win, we must ex necessitate rei secure .recruits from .the Republican - ranks. That's plain as the ncse on one's face., . . , . Are Republicans:.', "unit "on this '- Ques tion?"' By no manner of ;jrieans.- True that not long since "Uncle-Joe" Cannon, chairman of the committee on. appropriations, in the heat of debate, with frantic gesture, yelled at the top of his yoiee, "We intend to keep the Philippines forever and a day!" but it must be remembered that on that occasion "Uncle Joe" was in a. nolo and fighting to get out. ... , . Republics are constitutionally unfit to successfully or economically administer colonial affairs. Proconsular government has been noto riously corrupt, unjust and tyrannical since the world began and will continue so till the end of time. All history, sacred and profane, demonstrates the truth of that proposition. "It matters nothing whether the proconsuls are Romans, Brlt alns, Spaniards or Americans. The cor ruption, injustice and tyranny grow inev itably out of the proconsular system. It ia written that "evil Inventions re turn to plague the inventors and the corruption, injustice and tyranny which we inflict upon the Filipinos by our pro consular government will at last be prac ticed upon ourselves. We are progressing after the manner of the crab backward. Already, one of our military satraps in the Philippines has said: "The constitu tion is played out. There is no use to dis cuss it." Another has declared that men have been sent to prison in the Philippines for such utterances as those of Professor Schurman in his Boston speech.- . Yet another has pronounced the Declara tion of Independence to be a "damned In cendiary document,"1 which Is precisely the opinion of it entertained by George III. and Lrd North. v - v v Considered for military purposes, the Philippines would be a source of weak ness,, just as theyv were to Spain. Were we engaged, in a , war with a great power as we at any tlftie may be the Philippines would be the place of attack, and we would be compelled to do our fighting 7,000 miles from our base of supplies, which would place us at a great disad vantage,, doubling, the cost : and quadru pling the chances of" defeat. ' Why should we run such desperate risks when we have all to lose and absolutely nothing to gain? -. "'- The basic principle of republics "gov ernments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed"; is true or we as a nation have no raison d'etre. If that proposition is not true, "Washing ton and the other Revolutionary heroes were rank traitors. If it is not true, John Hancock, old John Adams, Patrick Henry, U'homas Jefferson and their compeers were pestilent disturbers of the peace of George III.- - ' If it is not true, Theodore Roosevelt is exercising powers usurped from King Ed ward Vir. and the" congress of the United States consists of 431 rebellious brawlers. This miserable Philippine business fa miliarizes the American people with the idea of a large standing army. General Chaffee says that we will need 50,000 soldiers in the Philippines alone for five years. Judging the future .by; the past, we will, need ; that many there till the judgment day. , - We are told thaf, waiving the quantum of the sin of subjugating a distant people, we must hold on to the Philippines be cause we want their trade. It Is not de nied that trade with the Filipinos and ev ery other people is desirable. , Democrats are as anxious for trade as are the jingoes, but they place liberty and good conscience aiove money.

The dollar argument is the most sordid of all, but let's take it on that low basis and see how the matter stands. ; The Philippines, to say nothing of the loss of life and the huge pension load we are fastening: on our children and our children's children, have up to date cost us nearly $300,000,000 in cold cash. During the fiscal year ending June SO, 1301, we expended in the Philippines $90, 000,000. During the same period our profits from trade with the Philippines, allowing for ourselves 20 per cent profit on all we ex ported to and Imported from those islands, were only the beggarly sum of $1,083,541. Expending $90 a. year to get $1 profit may be solarwalk statesmanship, but to a plain man who understands, arithmetic It appears to be stark idiocy. The only reason such an Insane policy does not bankrupt: the United States is be cause the United States is so rich. No other nation on earth could stand it, and we can't stand it long without disastrous results. Our institutions were indeed bought with a great price. Shall we now recklessly jeopardise them through greed or by rea son of a vainglorious ambition for foreign conquest? I do not believe that the Amer ican people will so decide. . It surely cannot be that the spirit of '78 is entirely dead In the American heart. To that spirit and that hear Democrats confidently appeal in this c;iUs of our country's fate. The State of Jefferson. If congress backs up Judge Moon of Tennessee and his committee on terri tories, the new state of Jefferson will soon be added to the rare and radiant sisterhood, a fitting but tardy recogni tion of Thomas Jefferson's stupendous service to the republic and the world In making the Louisiana purchase. Judge Moon and his confreres propose to erect the Indian country into a ter ritory of Jefferson, which will speedily become the state of Jefferson, and a great state it will be -one of the finest in the Union. There is no monument so durable as a geographical monu ment. Bronze and marble will at last wear away, but states are built not for a, day, but for all time. Of all Jef ferson's performances. the purchase of Louisiana was most peculiarly his own and was the most beneficent and far reaching in its consequences. If he had not been elected president in 1800, the chances are ten to one that we would never have owned the transmis sissippi country. Let the state be named for him. Exit Long. The long looked for resignation of Secretary Long has come at last. Wise ones suspected and had cause to be lieve that the late President McKinley had suggested to Secretary Long that he had better quit as soon as the Sampson-Schley imbroglio could have time to quiet down a bit. This of course was to make it look as if he had not been forced to leave the cab inet as a result of the navy depart ment scandal. But the quiet moment has been long delayed. It has only come since President Roosevelt sat down upon the whole thing in vigorous fashion by parceling out a little 4hand out" of glory to the commander of each vessel engaged. Then Long -resigns, and the president accepts the resignation early .the next morning "with sincere regret." One by one the roses fall. Kitchener's Regrets. The regretting business Is not con fined to the younger branch of the great so called Anglo-Saxon race. Once more Mr. Brodrick rises in the house of commons and begins to read the same old story from Kitchener: ' greatly regret to send you bad news about Methuen. Of 1,300 men with five guns, 550 of the mounted troops got away after being pursued four miles." What an inspiring scene that war, my countrymen! Once there was 11 French drummer boy who said: "Sire, I cannot beat a retreat, but I can beat a charge. I can beat a charge that would make the dead fall into line!" It is quite plain that the English drum mers have had more extensive instruc tion on the snare drum or the sweet tongued bugle. The "retreat" seems to be their favorite strain. But how tired of it they must have grown during those four long miles of furious, break neck scrambling to get away from our farmer friends! While Methuen is recovering from his wounds in hospital he can speculate upon the" fate of brave Wauchope, whom he sent in the front of his high landers to face certain death 1at the hands of "the thin gray line." Delarey's great victory means new hope and fresh heart for the Boers. Cruelly Deceived. , When that Titianesque haired states man, Hon. A. J. Hopkins of Aurora, 111., chairman of the committee on cen sus, returns to Washington from cam paigning for a United States senator ship in Suckerdom, he will find a large sized fight on his hands, in which the Republican spoilsmen of the house will be the leaders. These spoilsmen afore said claim that A. J. II. cruelly de ceived them by his conference report to believe that their proteges in the cen sus office would have permanent places at. the official trough. They took him at his word. Now they know better. They are in a toweriirg rage. It is safe to state that hereafter conference re ports will; be scanned with a critical eye. One Republican statesman, Mr. Hughes of West Virginia, has intro duced a resolution setting forth what he thought the bill meant, which is in the nature of locking the barn subse quent to the enforced departure of the horse. . i HEADACHE III Uton tNHa JJ At all rfwg tor. 35 Doaes 2Su Very Lew Rates ; Every, day during the months, of March and April, 1902, the UNION PACIFIC will sell Colonist one-way tickets at the following rates: FROM MISSOURI RIVER !
