WOI'LD NOT ACCEPT VICE PRESI

lltienl Ambition Beached Its Bight

from Both Sides for Williams,
Leader of the Minority—**Seetion

By R. M. Larner.
Washington, April 27.—Speaker Can
non has informed his personal and po
litical friends that under no conditions
or circumstances, will he accept the
vice presidential nomination. The Sen
ate has no attractions for “Uncle Joe.”
He has but little personal regard for
thfe so-called “senatorial courtesy”
policy which dominates the Senate, and
during his long congressional career,
he has consistently opposed the theory
that members of the House were sev
eral grades lower down on the public
office scale than senators.
Speaker Cannon says his political
ambition reached its hight when he
became Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives and he has no desire to
become “the chronic audience” in the
Senate, a term so frequently applied
to the presiding officer of that body.
In the House, “Uncle Joe" is thorough
ly at home and the atmosphere of the
Senate is not sufficiently charming to
tempt him, notwithstanding the earnest
and urgent appeals made to him to
rescue the state of Illinois from threat
ened capture by the Democrats.
Praise for Williams.
John Sharp Williams is receiving
much well-deserved commendation
from both sides of the House, for his
admirable leadership of the minority
forces. It has not been possible, nor
was it expected that the minority
would accomplish much in the way of
political legislation in the face of a
solid, well disciplined majority, sup
ported by the drastic Reed rules. Mr.
Williams has, however, accomplished
better results in directing the line of
debate on public questions than his
most sanguine friends anticipated.
Under the tactful and evenly bal
anced leadership of Mr. Williams, the
several factions in the minority have
been drawn together, and in several
notable instances, the bold and well
sustained attacks on the Republican
forces have astonished and frequently
disconcerted veteran Republican lead
ers like Payne of New York, Grosve
nor of Ohio, Hepburn of lowa and
Dalzell of Pennsylvania.
Sectional Isnne Done for.
Prior to this session—that is, for sev
eral years past—the Democratic mi
nority has lacked aggressiveness in
debate, and when one of the leaders
dared to indulge in fierce partisan dis
cussion, the question of “sectionalism”
was promptly raised against him, and
there was a division of opinion on his
own side as to the wisdom of direct
attack upon the administration in
power.
During the present session the Dem
ocrats have shown more courage, more
unity of purpose and more enthusiasm
in political debate than the House has
experienced in many years. There
have been many exciting scenes, and
the personal exchanges between Re
publicans and Democrats have been
sharp and severe, but strange to re
cord, the "sectional issue” has found
no place in the remarks of the Re
publican leaders. The Spanish War
completely obliterated "sectionalism”
and only a cheap, empty-headed poli
tician will venture to try to raise that
issue in Congress to-day.
Democrats Getting Together.
There may or there may not be any
thing substantial behind the hopeful
ness of the Democrats in the coming
campaign, but it is evident that so far
as the Democrats in the House are
concerned they are making commend
able efforts to “get together” in a gen
eral line of attack upon Republican
ism dnd all the party in power stands
for. During the past few weeks many
of the old-line Democrats who have
not been active in the party councils
for several years past have visited
Washington to get in touch with the
leaders of the party. It required but
a short stay here for many of them
to Imbibe the spirit of courage, hope
fulness and aggressiveness which per
vades every Democratic gathering at
the national capital.
MINORITY LEADER’S
TRIBUTE TO CANNON.

lure of things, the contests on the
hustings and in the hall of the House
are spirited and earnest. I would be
less than human did I not say that
while, for the time being I co-operate
with the majority, after all the mi
nority has a function to perform al
most equal in importance to the
function of the majority, and
it is a matter of gratification not
only to me now, but as I recollect it
at the close of the various congresses
of which I have been a member, that
when the heat of contest has died away
there ever remains respect upon each
side for the other, for the efforts of
intelligent, patriotic, brave men who
represent their constituents according
to their respective judgments.”
The Speaker at 2:10 o'clock adjourn
ed the House and was given one of the
greatest demonstrations of regard ever
witnessed in the House of Represen
tatives.
To a man, the members rose and
sang "America,” the occupants of the
galleries joining in. Speaker Cannon
took a position near the lobby door on
the Republican side and the members
filed past and bade him “good bye, ’
all the while singing "He's a Jolly
Good Fellow,” with a refrain, "So Say
We All of Us,” to the tune of “Ameri
ca,” closing with "God Be With You
Til! We Meet Again.”

than the four years of the McKinley
administration and $883,000,000 greater
than in the four years of the Cleveland
administration. He said that for 1905
the total appropriation on account of
the military, including pensions, would
be $387,000,000. and said that excluding
the expenses of the Boer war, the mil
itary expenditures of the United States
for 1903 were $32,000,000 more than those
of Great Britain for that year; $131,000,-
000 greater than those of Germany, and
$139,000,000 in excess of those of Franco.
Mr. Gorman placed the total appro
priations of this session at $781,000,000,
and the obligations incurred at over
$24,000,000, or more than $800,000,000 all
told, not including the appropriation for
the Panama canal. He said the fig
ures were amazing and predicted that
it would be impossible to continue ex
penditures at this rate without increas
ing taxes. He attributed the rapid in
crease to the ambition of the Presi
dent to make of the United States “a
great world power,” and said that we
had reaped no harvest except the loss
of life and demoralization in every
branch of the governmental service.
Instrument of Tyranny.
Mr. Gorman referred to the in
creases for the support of the army
and said that if the present tendency
should be pursued, the army would be
come an instrument of tyranny. He
charged that it was now being
organized on the plans of the
German army. He also charged
that the chief reason for the
building up of the army and navy was
to attract the attention of the crown
ed heads of Europe.
Mr. Allison characterized Mr. Cul
berson’s tables as "old and worn out,”
as to the time covered by the tables.
The conditions of the country were to
tally different from present conditions.
He combatted the statement that the
expenses of the military establishment
were greater than those of the Euro
pean nations, saying that the pension
expenditures could not properly be in
cluded in such estimates.
Mr. Gorman said that the revenue
question had been evaded because it
would disturb the political atmosphere.
"Why not admit it?” he asked, and
added that he did not blame the Re
publicans for this policy, because the
Democrats had tried it to their sorrow.
"We do admit,” responded Mr. Al
drich, "not that w r e fear any disturb
ance of the political atmosphere, but
to the . business atmosphere which
would be cruel and W’anton.”
Mr. Gorman predicted the election of
a Democratic House in November, but
admitted that the Republicans would
control the Senate for four years more.
“Can the Senator foretell what the
Democratic party would do if in pow
er?” Mr. Aldrich asked.
"It would do as it has done from
the foundation of the government,” re
sponded Mr. Gorman.
"Would it do," Mr. Aldrich asked,
“as it did in 1894?”
On the Income Tax.
Mr. Gorman replied that but for the
Supreme Court’s decision on the in
come tax the tariff legislation of 1894
would have proved adequate to meet
the demands of the country and he
predicted that the decision would yet
rise to plague the country. He added
that even under the circumstances the
legislation had started the wheels of
industry.
Republican senators generally laugh
ed at this statement, and Mr. Aldrich
replied thiat bat for Mr. Gorman’s
good sense the Democratic policy
would have been carried to such an
extent as to absolutely stop the wheels
of industry throughout the country.
Discussing the question of the Presi
dent’s usurping the power of Congress,
which had been raised by Mr. Gorman,
Mr. Aldrich said: “I have never known
a President of the United States, not
excepting Mr. Cleveland, who has in
terfered less with the legislative busi
ness of the Congress, or with the ac
tion of the House or the Senate, than
the present incumbent of that office.”
After the adoption of a resolution
of thanks to Mr. Frye, the presiding
officer, the Senate adjourned.

“Our people are certain that they can

“Japan wishes above everything else
to command the sea, and she will then

“Japan’s alliance with Great Britain

way our opponents. We are afraid
that if Japan is victorious the British

in the Far East.
Emperor William, responding, said he
held it to be his duty to visit his dear
relatives and give them proof of his
complete restoration to health. He said
he hoped the peace of the world would
not be disturbed, and that the events
which were being enacted before the
eyes of the world would steel German
courage, and that his people would be
found to be united if it became neces
sary to intervene in world policy.

AT LINCOLN’S HOME.
A Kprlnfiolil Woman’s Letter.
A lady at Springfield, 111., writes re
garding her coffee experience an in
teresting letter from the home of the
great President:
“A few years ago I became so ter
ribly run down In health that I made
up my mind coffee had something to
do with it, so gave It up and drank
Postum Instead, since which time I
have steadily gained in health,
strength and cheerfulness. Life holds
so much more than It did before.
“Postum made it easy to give up
coffee, as It will for anyone who makes
Postum according to the directions
on package. Postum and Grape-Nuts
have been our steady diet for break
fast for some years, and nothing could
ever Induce our family to return to
the use of coffee. It is bilious In its
tendency, making one yellow and mo
rose. and very many citizens In this
old home city of the immortal Lin
coln, who was a great cold water man,
have awakened to this fact. Every
where we see in the grocery stores
Postum and Grape-Nuts, which means
there is a demand for these pure,
nourishing articles and that the peo
ple are using them very extensively.
This augurs for health and longer life
and more usefulness.
“I knew a number who complained
of Postum at first because It was not
boiled long enough, but when they
learned how to prepare It according to
directions on the package they would
ask for no more palatable drink. I
could name to you not less than 40
well-known people of this place who
have been helped by leaving off cof
fee and drinking Postum." Name
given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek,
Mich.

RIVAL VIEWS UPON
NORMAL EXPENSES.
(Continued from First Page.)
a Republican Congress the next fiscal
year have reached the startling sum
of $781,574,629, or an increase of $286,-
955,027 over the average of the last
two years, under Democratic control,
and within a period of less than ten
years.
“I do not question the honesty of
these vast appropriations, either in
thetr aggregate amount or in their de
tails; but I challenge the wisdom of
the policy of the dominant party that
has made these enormous expenditures
necessary through the increase of the
military and naval establishments, the
maintenance of which is at the ex
pense of needed Internal improvements
such as river and harbor works and
public buildings.”
GERMANS~SUFFimNGr
IN THEIR AFRICAN WAR.
Their Commandniil Ilea* for linnie
illnlc Asslstaace.
Berlin, April 28.—C01. Durr (con
cerning whose return from German
Southwest Africa conflicting reasons
have bene given) arrived at Hamburg
to-day and made the impression that
he was a very sick man.
The commandant of the Grootfon
teln district, German Southwest Af
rica, cables that the Germans there
have suffered most severe losses and
lack the necessaries of life. He adds:
”1 beg for immediate assistance.”
A semi-official publication says the
authorities here do not expect further
engagements with the Heroros until
the German forces see the opportunity
of striking a decisive blow.
The Cologne Zeitung prints to-day a
Berlin dispatch, evidently inspired and
designed to defend the government
against the chVirge of lack of energy
in suppressing the rebellion. “The gov
ernment pursued a policy,” says the
correspondent, “of letting the South
west Africa authorities determine what
forces they needed, and sent all they
required."
