DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

At q caucus OF the democratic mem
bers of the House of Il representatives.,
held last night, the following declara-
ton of policy and resolutions az to the
Philippines were adopted:
ave hold that the Constitution OF
the United States was ordained and es-
tablisned for an intelligent, liberty low
ing and self governing people, and can
not be successfully applied to people
of different virtues and conditions. We,
therefore, hold that colonial policy is
contrary TO the theory Of our govern
ment and subversive of those great
principles ofcivi liberty which we have
been taught to cherish. We believe,
with the Declaration OF Independence,
that all governments derive their JUS
powers from the consent of the govern
ed, and we are unalterably opposed to
the establishment of any government by
the United States without the consen.
of the people to be governed, and, IL
conformity with these principles, We
instruct the minority member OF the
foreign affairs committee TO introduce
and urge the following resolution:
Resolved, That the United States
hereby disclaim any. disposition or in
tention to exercise permanent sovet-
eighty, jurisdiction or control over the
PhilippinegI Islands, and assert their de-
termination when an independent gov
ernment shall have been erected there
in to transfer to said government upon
terms which snail be reasonable and
just ali rights secured under the cessior
by Spain, and thereupon to leave the
government and control of the islands
to their people"
Another resolution by Mr.. Griggs, OF
Georgia, was adopted as follows:
ave. the democratic members o.
The House OF Representatives in eau
Gus assembled, commend the signal
loyalty and valor of our soldiers ant
sailors in the performance of every
military duty TO which they nave beef
assigned by proper authority, however
much we may deDlore the policy Of the
administration now directing their
movements, and we pledge TO them ouI
hearty support and sympathy underall
circumstances wherever engaged
General Wheeler was the only one
who differed from the prevailing view.
He urged that nothing should be done
which could be construed as lack OF
support to the soldiers. The hands OF
the President should be upheld, rs
said, when fighting was going on. A
Il matter OF expediency, also, he urged
that the party should not oppose the
war. Wars were popular, he declared
and at the present time the spirit OF
the people was shown by the fact that
every boy had his drum and sword,
while the mothers were proud of this
patriotic spirit. The reception the
general got was so frieid that he sooD
retired. Many were surprised at his
presence, as according to the judiciary
committee of the House he is no longer
a member of that body.
The votes were practically unani-
nous Cd the two resolutions adopted.

In Greene county the law disfran-
chising delinquent tax payers has
never sipce its adoption been enforced.
This year storm of indignation and
protest has gone up from those who
have always been prompt to liquidate
the account held against them by the
tax collector. As the matter now
stands, the election commissioners
and managers will be forced in the
discharge of their duty and oath
of Office to call out all
who are not entitled to vote
ct the polls on November 9th
Some of the candidates claim that by
this method they will lose votes. Well
what if they do--law is law--it should
be enforced. OF course howl will
go up from those who are disqualified,
but let 'em howl, maybe it will help
EN-; it won't hurt anybody. 1t will
do good. Four years from now this
will be verified by the promptness in
which these same kickers will pay
their taxes. Let the whip fall, it
matters not whom it strikes. Lets
have an election in November free
from fraud Of any kind.

That golf has come to stay in this

A pathetic reminder of how soon
We are forgotten is afforded by the
removal in New Orleans OF statue of
Henry Clay, which has for forty-three
years occupied prominent position
In the widest and most attractive ave-
nue. OF that city. 1t was found to be
in the way of the street-car companies
and so is technically removed" but
no destination has yet been found
for it, and the public does not seem
to care. In 1856 popular enthusiasm
there for the "great commoner" was
not less than that for Dewey to-day.
The erection of an out-of door statue
does not necessarily insure permanent
fame. SO long as it is not in the way,
q statue will be allowed to remain,
oven if it's subject has been quite for
gotten, as will doubtless be the case a
century hence with a considerable
proportion of the statues of our
national capital and other cities of the
land Artistic tastes, moreover, are
changing and making some old statues
seem grotesque. Charleston, a few
years ago, took down it's statue OF
John G, Calhoun in Marion Square,
and erected a new one more in accord
with the present-day tastes. There
il room for many such improvements,
even if sentimental considerations are
somewhat disturbed by tue change.

SHOT TO KILL.
Desperate Thieves Open Fire ON u
Constable Who Surprised Them.

Haverford. Pa. Jan. 13.-That all OF the
burglars who have been operating so ex-
tensively in this city for several months
past have not been caught, although two
were committed 10 Norristown jail yester-
day, by Justice OF the Peace Warner. was
fully proven at 2;30 o'clock yesterday
morning when gang or nve tried TO gain
entrance into the home of Clarkson Cloth
ier on Buck Road, about half 4 mile from
the station. Just over the Delaware coun-
" line.
Constable Christian NJ. Knaphle was pa
trolling his beat in the vicinity of the
Clothier residence, and heard a low whis-
tie as if an outside man was giving warn
ing After listening and locating the noise
he walked cautiously toward the house,
and when about half a block away saw
four men within a short distance of each
other. He called halt and fired his re-
vOlver up in the air. One of the men then
cried out to shoot, and volley of shots
whist!ed round the constable, who shell
tered himself behind a tree and opened
fire on them with his revolver.
The watchman at Haverford College
heard the firing and ran over TO knaphle S
assistance. as did several of the neighbor-
ing residents who had been awakened BY
the noise.
Search was made for the five burglars
but they had disappeared. An examina-
tion of Mr.. Clothier's house revealed the
marks of a jimmy on both back door
and also on a window next to it, showing
that Knaphles arrival had prevented an
other burglary.
