Managbr STAND PAT Senator Allison of lowa has semi- > officially given his view of what the Republicans should do on the i tariff. Characteristic of his intense :

caution—he out rivals Fairbanks in that—“he has not reached a definite conclusion as to whether the j tariff shoudl be revised or not, hut does feel certain that no matter | how desirable revision may be, it j is not worth the price of party ; dissension and wha fever is done must be accompanied bv absolute harmony within republican ranks. ’ ’ ■ If one might interpret oracle, it will be fair to say that the senator does not expect any revision, because it is impossible to get “absolute harmony’’ amongst the republicans There is no harmony in lowa, onlv an armed truce, and the faction headed by Governor Cummins, who believes thetarift fosicrs tru-ts. are utterly unable to agree with the standpatters. In Massachusetts, in Minn esot i, in Wisconsin anil other states, the same m i truce y evails, or rather did p-cvdl before election. Here in Itidiann tin voter ill li >id the | ’■* t strict account if the tariff' i.irons are allowed to continue extortn g high pri< s on nearly everything thepwple use, but :‘>e republicans are not and never will be in a state of “absolute harmony’’ <m the subject. Probably a m.i j rity are i in favor of letting well enough line, like Senator F- vreidge, who believes that the tariff is too sacred a thing to lie revised, unless it is revised higher. The ring organs say they’ want reform, but from their utterances it is impossible to determine where they really stand. i they kio v themse'. ve-.—Sentinel.

Hearst's Chicago Examiner has ■ been sold to Andrew M. Lawrence, a successful Chicago newspaper | man. He retains the American, an ■ evening publication. There is not very much satisfacl tion or consolation for democrats in i the figures of the late election, but I iit seems that there were 155,233 ; i less votes cast in 1900 than were j ! cast in 1904. That means a lot of i fellows stayed at home. Roosevelt i had 401,450 more votes than Mo- ; Kinley got in 1900, and Parker had 1,293,053 votes less than Bryan had ; in 1900. It was simply a ease of i democrats refusing to support their j candidate, or of voting for Roose- I ; velt to even up an old score.—Co j lumbia City Post.
