BOYS, BE

EDITOR DEMoCRAT:-In yesterdays
Globe Democrat we find an article
headed, KILLED by his Playmate.
Three boys. from 10 to ID years old
we're playing Jail in a shed, when
one of them. the taller pointed a
revolver at the head of Willie Russell,
sending a bullet through his brain.
OF curse he did not think that it was
loaded.
We have the same kindo OF youngsters
in the Cape, playing Wild West shows
in sheds and Observation-Disclosures
town with pistols in their pockets, and
if their parents. prominent citizens
do not keep a more watchful eye on
their offspring. they will come to grief
when too late.
In the above quoted case who is to
blame? The ignorant boys or the silly
and foolish parents.

The Duty OF the Republicans.

The Republicans will have a MAORI
ty in The next Legislature in this State.
and they therefore cannot be too
full about legislating for the people.
There will be all kinds of schemes and
tricks advocated by lobbyists and by
Democratic members of the House to
get the Republican majority to make
plumbers in the interest of the Demo-
cratic party. Ben Deering will be on
hand backed by a force of temperance
cranks with his famous high license
bill-a bill that came in one vote of
being passed by a Democratic House
two years ago. 1t is 4 bill that every
Republican member should vote
against. The saloon license of the
State is already high enough and to
make them higher would in many
cases work a hardship to the tax-pay-
ers. To raise the license would re-
duce TIE number of saloons. and they
would necessarily make the taxes
higher in localities where the people
have = bonded debt. Under the pres
ent lar ,vo-thirds of the saloon license
money goes to the paying off of the
bonded debt in counties and townships
having such debts and the lore
saloons in such localities the more
money Is raised without a direct tax
on the people to help pay off that
debt.
The saloons of this city are helping
us 20 wipe out a big bonded indebted
ness and the greater the number of
saloons the sooner We will wipe out
that Indebtedness. There are other sec
tions of the State where the saloons
are helping to lift the burden off the
taxpayers, and it would be suicidal
for the Republicans to tamper with
this license law at this time. The
present license law is good enough
and it should be let remain as it is.

\ small Blaze Blu, a Big F ire.

At about two O'Clock Wednes-
day morning the fire bells gave the
alarm OF fire. The fire was in a corn
warehouse owned by P. H. Dempsey
on Themis street. The flames had
gained such Roadway before they were
discovered that they could not be
checked. and the building together
with its contents went up in the flames.
The building was a wooden structure
and in it Mr.. Dempsey had seven hun
bred and forty bushels of corn. He
had no insurance and the loss is quite
heavy.

The Riverside hotel has changed
hands. Bud Crewdson has sold his
interest in this popular hotel to his
partner Walter S. Albert. and with
Sam Davis in the Office as general
manager, Mr.. Albert will take charge
tomorrow. We regret TO lose Mr..
Crewdson as acitizen for he is a clever
gentleman and a live energetic bust

Walter Albert is we'll known to the
public and while he is not a practical
hotel man he never undertakes a bust
ness that he does not make a success
of. We predict for him a liberal pat
rOnape.

NO QUORUM YET.
Democrats Give Up the O'Neill-Joy Gas
For a Time.

democrats GIVE up the - NellI-JOy Ease
For Time.
WASHINGTON, March A.-The house was
in session, but its industry protited it lit
tie. The Democrats were again without
quorum, and the attempt to consider the
O'Neill-Joy contested election case was
abandoned until next week.
The unanimous report of the elections
committee in the Wheatley-Cobb case, con-
firming the title of the sitting member to
Ills seat, was adopted, and the Military
academy appropriation bill was passed
practically without debate The Military
academy bill carries $4OO 43S-a reduction
of 49,, 600 compared with the amount APP
propriated for the current fiscal year. To-
day the house Will take up the postotfice
appropriation bill.
Congressman have in no degree been re-
lieved of anxiety as to the fate of the
seigniorage bill. The situation at the White
House presents one strong feature of nov
city in the fact that it appears to be the
scene of a bloodless battle JSst now be-
tween congressman, on the one hand, the
large majority of whom are urging the
signing of the seigniOrage bill, and the
great commercial interests of the country
on the other, for % out of every 30 of the
communications coming from them pray
for the veto of the bill.
There are all sorts of stories at1oat as TO
the president s disposition toward the bill,
and some have.gone to the length of re-
citing that he has already prepared veto
message. If this be true, he has not taken
the members of the cabinet into his conf
dence and at the last meeting the subject
was discussed from all points of view. with
a distinct impression in the minds of the
members of the cabinet that the president
is still open to conviction. He has up to
and including next Thursday to make up
his mind

Grand Struggle.
Mcbride of the United Mine Workers of
fifth annual convention of the organization
to be held at Columbus, o.. commencing
April 10. The convention will be the most
important convention yet held, for ut that
convention national movement will be
considered. This means the total suspen-
sion of work by miners through America
from Colorado to eastern Pennsylvania.
If adopted and date set, the greatest
strike in the history of the miners of
America will be inaugurated. There are
in America fully 100000 miners who are
attached to the United Mine Workers
organization. For several months the Off
Gals have been preparing for the national
movement. Organizers and state and dis
trict presidents have been working ear
nestly at the organization, and with such
success that it is estimated that fully
1900 additional miners have been brought
into the union already. and by the time
the convention meets at least that many
additional miners will have become in
terested.
1t is expected in the Pittsburg district
alone that the - 600 miners and coke work
ers of the Connellsville region and the
5000 river and railway miners will be or
ganized. Meetings are being held nightly,
conventions called and no means left I'M
done to arouse enthusiasm among the
miners for the national encampment. The
same applies to the Ohio Tennessee. West
