The request by the Portuguese
COLONY to be allowed holiday De
cember 1, to properly celebrate the
independence Day of Portugal, is
one that will doubtless be favor
ably received by all employers

uguese desire to make a special
demonstration this year in honor
of their native country, and in view
of the general custom established
in giving various nationalities an
opportunity to observe special hoi
days, the request is not unusual or
unreasonable.

WHY CLOSER POLITICAL USIoye'

The decision OF our i ort street
brethren to withhold from oppo-
sition 10 the Annexation Club Is a
very proper move and entirely III
keeping with sober second thought.
The final fling at the previous ad-
ministration OF the Club spoils
what might have been a graceful
withdrawal, but we are not inclin-
ed to expect too much when a
newspaper Is required to abandon
a pet hobby. The statement will
be taken from whence it comes,
and displays of mistaken judgment
will receive the fnost kindly inter
probation possible.
This point having been practi-
cally settled, we now turn our at
tention to the frequent use OF the
term "closer political union" which
has marked the recent utterances
of our esteemed contemporary. The
public has been notified that the
word annexation does not appear
i'm the constitution, that larger
band of followers can be gathered
under the legend "closer political
union - The suddenness with
which this expression has been
brought to notice calls for answer
as to the cause. Does the esteemed
contemporary mean to maintain
that the words "closer political
union" signify any less than they
did the day the constitution was
promulgated. Can it give any rea-
son why today "closer political
union should not be interpreted
as annexation, the same annexa-
ton for which the special commits
sion struggled ilb 1892 Does any
sane man believe that the people
who gave the constitution birth and
have nobly supported it during the
past few years will admit that that
document declared and does now
declare for anything more or less
than annexation pure and simple?
Why this attempt to play with the
words and overlook the true prin-
ciple involved! What were the
objectionable features of an early
day.? Why seek Juggling of
words when the foundation prin-
ciple is the same today that it al
ways was!
There is no time for cutting fine
corners, or even having the appear
ance of hedging. Contention for
new treaty of political and com
mercial union will be stultifying
not only in the eyes of the annex
atiorists here, but staunch friends
in the United States as well. 1t is
worse than useless TO hope to mus
ter. in new friends by striking off
oA.a tangent that wilB jeopardize
the support of men who have stood
and will stand bv sound, uneQuIvO-
cal principle. There is but one
.queshqn lat issue, anAexation or no
aItfiexation, and stirring some sup
neutrality-suspicious. igalis fatuus from
a swamp of poor political ideas
can only result IN harm. Let the
public keep its eye on annexation;
let the good work go on. Mean
while the esteemed contemporary
has'an opportunitylto explain itself
and clearly define whether it is
friend or opponent of annexation.

A MONUMENT TO EDWARDS.
Col. Newman's Plan to Raise Funds
Missouri Third in Ex-COnfeder-
ate Camps.

Col. Henry A. Newman, OF Huntsville,
who is colonel and adjutant- general for
this division of Missouri of the United
Confederate veterans, was a guest at the
Centropolis last night, says the Kansas
City World.
Colonel Newman has been engaged for
several months in organizing confederate
camps in various parts OF the state. Up
to date he has organized forty-two Of these
camps, -four of which are located in Lafay-
cite county. This numbsr is only exceeded
by Virginia. which has forty-three camps
and Texas. which has the largest number
in the United States. 1t is expected that
the total enrolment of veterans will
reach not less than 5000 In Missouri.
Colonel Newman Is anxious to have o
monument erected at the grave in Dover,
Lafayette county, of the distinguished
author, soldier and journalist. Major John
N. Edwards. To that end he proposes to
put into print again Major Edwards
popular work, "SheIby and His Men,"
and let the proceeds from the sale of the
book be devoted to the monument fund.
Colonel Newman says that it is difficult
now to find this work, and that there is a
standing demand for 1t In various parts
OF the country.

AN Ex-LEx1NeToNIAN KILLS HIMSELF.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.-Joseph W.
Fritz, aged 80 years, the electrician for the
Francis Wilson Opera company, which is
playing IN this city, committed suicide
while in bed at his boarding house this
morning by shooting himself through the
heart with a big army revolver.
Fritz's home is in Kansas City. His
father, John Fritz, a retired builder, lives
at 71s Forest avenue. The parents were
notified by telegram from q member of the
Francis Wilson company early this
morning that their son had died in Phil
adelphia. The telegram gave nc intima-
ton as to the manner of death. John
Fritz, a brother, started on a morning
train for Philadelphia to bring the body
to Kansas City.
Fritz entered the employ of the Western
Union telegraph company as an electri,
clan in Kansas City about eight years ago.
Three years after he went to env to
work for the same company, and from
there he went to the Pacific coast. Then
he assisted in putting in an electric rail-
way system at Stockton. CAL, and about
three years ago when the Francis Wilson
company was in San Francisco he was

to a reporter today. "He seemed to be
well liked by the members of tho COM
papy and Mr.. Wilson, and when he was
here last winter he gave a dinner to the
members at our home, (which was a de-
lightful affair, 1 assure you"
Mr.. Fritz could not understand how his
son could ave taken his life. He could
think of no excuse for it, aud he believed
that there had been a mistake iu the an
nouncement. The young man was unmar-
ried and had plenty Of funds for his own
enjoyment. On Christmas day Mr.. Fritz
sent his son a check for $3.50 as a present
and q letter received the other day led to
the belief hat his son was enjoying him.

having a good time riding on the wheel.
The death of Fritz leaves the parents
with three sons aud three daughters. Two
of the boys are attending the military
school at Lexington, Mo-, while the other

their parents. The eldest daughter is the
wife OF James Flood, a son of the Califor-
