fact that the Democratic party is not a

the ratio, says MIR. Jones of Arkansas in
Washington, but the Democratic party is
loyal to the free silver cause"
The Memphis Commercial (Dem). from
the fullness of a ripe experience, thus de-
MES that Col Bryan will become an ed

Alabama iron sets the price for the

An ant-lobby bill was defeated in the
Kansas House Of Representatives the
other day. A bill was introduced propos-
ing that a fence be built in the rear OF
the state house to keep the lobbyists away
from the members. Some very warm
speeches were made in favor of fencing
out the corruptonists; but when it was
explained that even if a fence were built,
the lobbyists would probably either climb
over or scratch under. in order that there
might be no needless expenditure of the
public money for fence. the bill was
voted down

COCKRELL FOR PRESIDENT.
KANSAS CITY TIMES WILL URGE
Ills CANDIDACY.
(By Telegraph to virginian-Pilot)

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 1S.-In an
editorial tomorrow the Kansas City
Times, which has been n staunch sup
porter Of William Jennings Bryan. will
urge the candidacy of United States
Senator Francis Marion Cockrell for the
Democratic Presidential nomination in
1900
Senator Cockrell. whom the people Of
Missouri have just elected To his fifth
term in the United States Senate. will
be nut forward as IAN old fashioned
Democrat. who stood for what the Chi
cago platform contains long before that
platform was promulgated, Il Democrat
of experience in national affairs. whose
record has stood the test of time. who
knows the plain people ana against
whom the charge of dcmagog has
never been brought, who comes from
the West and the South. but whose
services for twenty-four years have
been given TO the whole people of the
United States"
The Times Will assert that NIissouri's
right 10 consideration at the hands of
Democratic convention cannot he
questioned. adding that "the sole OBJ
lection which could have been urged
against Cockrcll. that he fought with
the South, has been answered by tile
action of eX-Conccderate soldiers in tho
war of 1895"
In this connection the Times will
state that when the Democratic CON
veniion meets in 1900. the time Will
nave come TO ignore the old sectional
feeling, (which has forced the Demo
craiic party 10 nominate candidates
whom ii did not want" and that if SEN
,iment is 10 play any part in the Sc
lection of IL Presidential candidate IL
should be proclaimed that the ma
TONS best is the nations choice, no
matter what the uniform he wore

COST OF COLONIAL GOVERNMENT
Mr. Bacon discussed the question of
the cost. civil and military, of keeping
up colonial government in the Philip
pines, that the vast expense must nee
essaiily add largely to the taxes i'm
posed on the people, and that the war
tax would have to be continued indie
iinitely. as it would be impossible to
raise the increased amount through
tariff duties.
The great difficulty and danger of
transporting large bodies of troops
across the Pacific in the face of hos
tile fleets was. also commented on by
him.
He urged the point that the Philip
pine Islands, 50 far from being an
element OF strength, would from their
distance necessarily be the weakest
point IL 1t became part of the United
states. That in case of war our enemy
would strike us there just as we struck
Spain there. because WITS her ,Yeeliest
point.
He concluded by urging that the
American people had enough to do in
developing their own country. which.
exclusive of Alaska, was ample for a
population of three hundred million.
and in developing our own resources
there was enough to task the energies
ana inspire the hopes of our people for
centuries to come.
NICARAGUA CANAL AGAIN.
Following Mr.. Bacon's speech the Nj
caragua Canal bill was taken up. and
remained under discussion until 6
O'Clock. The Caffcry substitute. which
was pending, was laid on the table by n
vote of 81 to 20. Amendment after
amendment was voted down and until
almost the last minute it seemed like
~ that a vote on the measure would be
reached this evening: but just as final
vote was about to be called for, Mr.
Allison, Republican. Iowa. exploded n
bomb under the bill by Offering an
amendment providing that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury should issue bonds
to raise money with which to con-
measure then consented to an adjourn
