TltK U»:.\L QUKSTIOX.- Entertaining
as art- '!.. details of the titanic atnajaie
now tuning i>'a«-»« in the House of Itipre
srtiUtlvi . the most Interesting question
Is the tfTeti which victory par one side of
the other »-ill have on asa fortunes of the
Bs«paMl<-nit party, and with cadi side de-
trmiro.l to exagwrute the praka results
to Bcvva its own purpose that question is
not ttisily answered There are many
■kwsul political Judges, however, srho are
convlncrd that the defeat of Speaker «'an
non at this time will Insure a Republican
majority in the next IIOQSe, while a vic
tory for tin* Bi>eaVrr would insure a re
vt-rral of the pri ssut majority. The one
valuable at-Mi with which the Democrats
■ saa t t.i go Into the campaign is ••Can
nojiiwn.*' With Cannon moved from the
political sta^i or at least robbed of all
material influence, the Democrats will be
without any iflVcii\«. is«iu<*. one of the
tUttd ■ least reasonable. charges agaii!»-t
Prtsident T.lt will have been disproved.
and. while the disorganisation of the Haaaa
may deft-at. in part at least, th. Taft
IrtisUtive programme, the vaaara generally,
it is believed, will not be disposed to make a
rfcansc in the paßasi <^)n>;>lcxjon *if the
I.OUS' .
THK BSGCUUtfIr AIWUMKNT.— The
ma ah r n>pubnc«j> naturally insist that
the injury done to tlie Taft legislative pro
gramme will far outweigh any advantage
which may aerrue from the elimination of
Mr. Cannon. Th«y insist that the enlarge
ment « f the Committee on Rules and the
expulsion of the Speaker— (or that is what
the Insurgents demand — will result In
C&aos; that it will be weeks before there
m - l!l be any «-ff«-ctlve ort^nlzation, and tltit
• yen then the Insurgents will be unable to
control their Democratic allies, who will
load the Taft measures with amendments
no rudical as inevitably to Insure their re
jivtloi; by t»»e Senate or their disapproval
by the It.M.*. t.t Just how sincere the
regulars ar«- in this argument is difficult to
determine at a tit", of such !.ltt»-r ani
mosity. The cajiacity of Mr. Cannon for
making loyal friends was never better
demonstrated than at this time, when Ills
supporters stand willing la rlsk ttaaa? all
In the effort to rave him from humiliation.
THi: INSURGKNT ATTITUDE— Tbe in
sargent ltepublicans bistst ith the utmost
vehemence that. aj>srt from the elimination
of ''a-inonlem. the Taft legislative pro
gramme is their firt-'t concern; that they will
stand shoulder to t-houlder with the regu
lars In *u;*i>ort of that programme and
in the determination to prevent Its defeat
by the Democrats. They declare that they
have no purjxiso la cliauge any fi'mtnititf
other than that on rules, and that they
da not even with to force the laeasaatMa
of Mr. Cannon from the ip« ihefsklji. but
will be contested with sack curtailment of
his power as mutt result from an enlarged
Committee on Boles and hip retirement
therefrom. It i^. perhaps, difficult for those
Ion*; familiar with the conduct of the h . .-•
and a<-(jua'.!:ted with tlie character of many
of the incurs v.-nt» to beiieve that, hovvrvrr
sincere their purpose, their victory at Uaa
time will not cravc-ly mt-nace the Talt i>io
i:r:it»me. Hut the cotiterition that to de
prive the S, «eaker of his chief power at
this time win injure Republican victory
nest November in tot difficult to accept.
"i'ANNDNISM."— TI:ere are me rumors
that the Speaker will resign if he is de
jM.*cd from tl>e Rules Committee, but the
belief tliat he will do SO is !iot generally
e!:tertained. The fatt is that the present
right, in no far as member* of the House
are concerned, is not on Mr. Cannon per
sonally, but on the system he represents.
Many of the >ur?:<-nis have no little rt
apaal Tor the "grand old Roman." but they
«re <-onvinv*d that in hira is cml^jdled v
which the House has out row 11 and
1 vvliiiii tlie osejatt} rejiudiates. They rtatitl
for ftver and fuller dt-imte and a greater
liberty in tlie matter «»f amendments to
peadUr. lrpislatlon. That th*-tr ideals are
jracticablt is gravely doubted. The House
of Representative* is a large and unwieldy
body, made up «'f all korts and/condilions
<>t men. The Democrats, under Speaker
Crihi). were eomi*'lled to abandon their
theories t>f an Barestrleted and deliberative
lxxly. to eat tlieir words regarding the tyr-

drst>tU* measures to maintain control and
uicomj'llsli results its the Republicans had
bred. That will aaaMleaa t« the experience
of UN insurgents If they are now victorious.
but the temper of the country seems to be
such that it demand* that the experiment
lie .1.1.1 ■ . and the Insurgents are anxious to
satisfy that demand. The popular antago
nism to Mr. Cannon is fjrreachins and.
Interne, but there are tew members of
either party or Cactlea who cherish any-
in»; but rtgxrJ for "Uncle Jot" person- {
ally. The aalfcualisisr votes af thanks
which have ve t -u given him at the close of
tv/o Congresses wen- not mere forms, but '
fir.cere expressions of appreciation of his
Justice as a presiding oncer, even though
he had enforced ratal which many hated.
MUCH IN A NAMK.-H I* decidedly un- [
fortunate for the Insurgents In the House i
that list] should have come to be known ,
ly that name. As a faction they are wide
ly different from the Insurgent In the
) Senate. The House insurgents are fighting
, for a principle and. with few exceptions.
I are not actuated l»>' person*! ambition. It j
j Ktajr iiu^Mbly lie tn exaggeration to say r
' that th> Senate insurgents have no princi- j
; pies, but it would not be ide of the mark i
| la a^ert that the controlling impulse of j
i each is personal ambition. aasVßi in his j
I own estimation, is an embryo President, j
j Party loyalty is a term unknown to men
who are imbued with Us) idea that "char- J
Uy begins at home" and an obsession that }
the laallal lightning Is merely pausing j
in its flash until it can distinguish the pi«r- j
ticular lightning rod of the Senator from J
] Blank. The extent to which overweening I
'amtitioti may lead a man so obsessed has
been shown in the debate on the adminis
tration interstate commerce bill, where men
who la the |>as: have vociferously pro- \
claimed tJ.eir loyalty to President Tafl j
have not hesitated to impugn ate motives j
and to miMcpr. ...lit the chief members of |
his administration. Far tkaaa reasons it is j
doubly unii.rtunutt that the insurgents of
the Hou>e fhould have come to be known
by the tame cognomen as their namesakes
In the Senate.
TIIK DEMOCRATIC BLUNDER.— Most
difficult of «-onipreliension is the purpose of
the Democrats, unless it be assume.l. as j
some i^»ntend. that they never see beyond
their nos«-s. The extent of the anti-Cannon
sentiment throughout the country has
leached proportions which few of the regu- |
lar Republicans comprehend, out the Demo
' crats have ai>t«ared to be ful'.y alive to the
j situation. For years the Democrats have
' l>een without an issue on which to go to ,
!th* c<»untr>— other than the free silver Issue,
, which they i.urloiiud from the Populists — j
! i<nd now they ■ad one ready made to their
! hand*. The fear that the House would I* j
! lost to the Democrats next November has.
;i M «n chronicled with entire frankness in)
! this column, and it has also been made •'•«! j
j that this fear \va* based almost entirely on |
. the unpopularity of the Speaker. Now the j
! Democrats are bending their every energy
j to assist the Republicans to rid themselves !
of th,. Incubus and the Republicans have
I offered nothing in return — not even their
; assistance to help the ">einocrats rid them- I
' selves of tbelr "peerless leader" two years
: hrm-e. In the opinion nt some of the ablest I
! rolitlciatis in the Senate, the Democrats are j
1 kins their t-ustotaary blunder, pulling the I
I Republican esssjtaata out of the fire Just as

TAIUFF AGREEMENT
MADE WITH FRANCE.
Jlr. Taft's Announcement —
Hopes for Peace with Canada.
Rochester, March 11- President Tafl an
nounced here to-night that a complete
agreement had been reached with Prance
on ail tariff difference*, and that at Albany
to-morrow he would sign a proclamation
giving to France the 3 per cent reduction
of rates provided for in the Payno-AMrlch
tariff law.
Although the situation seems almost
hopeless. Mr. Tafi has not given up the
Idea of averting a tariff war w'th Canada.
He has Invited to meet him In Albany,
either to-morrow or on Bunuav. W. 8.
Fielding, the Canadian Minister of Finance.
Henry M Hoyt. counsellor of the State
Department, and Charles M. Pepper, tariff
expert of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, will come from Washington to be
present at the conference.
Mr. Taft at first invited Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. the Canadian Premier, to attend
the conference, but the latter was unable
to come. Thus far Canada has shown a
disposition to "stand pat." which has all
but put an end to any further negotiations.
The President is making a last effort, how
ever, to reach an agreement with the
Dominion government before allowing the
maximum duties of the Payne-Aldrlch law
to go into effect against imports from that
country.
If the maximum rates are imposed It will
mean that Imports from Canada will have
to pay 25 per cent more than imports from
other countries which have not shown
"undue discrimination" against the United
States.
The dispute with Canada grows out of
the fact that Canada negotiated a treaty
with France whereby that country ob
tained a reduction of front *.'V» to ft per cent
In rates compared with those given to other
nations. Through Great Britain* "most
favored nation" treaties, however, this
preferential treatment given by Canada to
France was automatically extended to thir
teen other countries. Thir, in effect, left
the t'nlted States as the principal country
affected by the higher rates.
Ottawa. Ont.. March ll— news of
President Taffs invitation to the Finance
Minister. Mr. Fielding, to meet him and
discuss the tariff situation has been received
at Ottawa with great satisfaction, as it is
taken as an indication that a way will be
found i. 'it of the deadlock between the two
countries.
Mr. Fielding declined to say anything for
publication, but it is generally believed
that he will accept President Taft's Invita
tion. He will take with him to the con
ference Usa hope of Sir Wilfrid 1-Murier
and of a great majority of the people of the
Dominion that a satisfactory agreement
will be reached. The majority of Mr. Field
ing's colleagues in the government would
Tar rather trade with the United States than
fight with them. As the date of the ap
plication by the United States of the max
imum tarifi against Canada his approached
there has been a growing nervousness in
Ottawa. Montreal and Toronto over the Im-
tiding tariff hostilities. President Taft's
n:es.«ar<* is therefore most welcome.
It was announced late to-night that Mr.
Fielding would start for Albany to-morrow
to asset lYesident Taft.
PULP EXPORTS IN DANGER.
Tariff War Might Stop New Bruns
wick's Shipments Here.
St. John. N. 8.. March 18.— If the United
Stales decides to impose the- maximum
tariff on Canadian Imports busbies* in both
countries will suffer. In th»» opinion of
shippers and manufacturers here. While a
tariff war would not seriously Injure the
lumber trade at St. John, because a large
sail of the lumber manufactured is cut
in Maine and reshlpped free *>l duty, the
enforcement of the maximum schedules
would practically stop all ex;>ortatl< ns of
pulp from New Brunswick to the United
States. George M. Keyes. of Pepperell,
ii.i.-.- . one of the owners of the pulp mills
at Chatham, said that if the maximum
duty on pulp B| a ton— was exacted tho
plant would be shut down. In his opinion
every American manufacturer «»f pulp in
Canada would be obliged to purchase sup
plies in Kui-opean countries if they expe.t
»-d la keep their mills running.
American manufacturers have ordered all
pulp Stared in their warehouses to be
shipped across the line immediately.
The New Brunswick legislature last
i.iKlit adopted a resolution unanimously ex
pressing Ike view that all pulp wood cut »>n
the .rown lands of New Brunswick should
l.c made into paper within the- province.
