How the Democrats do hate ma.
chine! The silver wing of the Massa-
chusetts Democracy has held its con-
vention and nominated it's delegates to
the presidential convention for 1900.
The Democrats of the State didn't
want to do this and fully realized that
they were making themselves ridicu-
lous by doing it, but the George Fred
Williams machine had full swing, and
through the fear that a sentiment
might be created prejudicial to Bryan,
between now and the time of holding
the national convention, resolutions
were jammed through and the delegates
chosen instructed for Bryan at the
1900 convention. There would have
been just as much sense in choosing
delegates and instructing them for the
convention of 1904.

THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, OCTOBER !, 1899

The reception Of President McKin-
leysin St, Paul and Minneapolis next
week will be as great an event for
those cities as was the reception of
Dewey atsNew York for the metropo-
lis. Mckinley is, first the president of
the United States, afterwards the ac-
knowledged leader OF the Republican
party. H He. will be received, first be-
cause ofsthe honor that is due to the
Office he holds, second because he has
endeared himself to the people by an
administration which, while it may
not be < absolutely tlawless, has the
credit ofinaugurating the greatest era
ofprosperity that this country has ex-
perienced since the close of the civil
war

WHY will intelligent country editors
and for that matter city editors
persist in booming this, that and the
other candidate for State Offices who
was elected as a State senator in 1882
Ihey should know that the decision OF
the supreme court in the Sutton case
disqualifies and renders ineligible to
any State office for the election of 1900
any man who was elected to the senate
in 1898. The supreme court distinctly
stated in this decision that anv man
elected to the legislature must serve
out the full time for which he was
elected, before he could.be eligible for
any. other Office except that of post
master, and that such legislative Of
fee could not be resigned for the pur-
pose of accepting an incompatible

they can be elected to az State Office.

that would prejudice the candidacy Of

IT seems to be the generally accepted
view that Charley Towne will return

WHATEVER may be said of Gov.
Roosevelt there is a directness about
his dealings with public questions that
is quite refreshing in these days of
diplomacy and red-tape. He is one of
the kind who sees an object and goes
straight to it without reference to the
obstacles that may stand in his way.
He has fashion of speaking out in
meeting and declaring himself with an
utterly abandoned disregard OF circum-
stances and proprieties that must ap-

THEY do say that Gov. Lind is not so
much of an 'aunty' as he was before
his trip to California to welcome the
Thirteenth regiment. The governor
hasn't given out anything authoritative
bearing on the subject, but it is quite
observable that he is less inclined to
enlarge upon the. criminal aggres-
sion'' involved in the campaign in the
Philippines.

HENRY WATTERsON has thrown an
other bomb-shell into the ranks of the
Democrats. Mr.. Watterson gives sew
eral reasons why Dewey cannot be the
Democratic candidate for president.
In the first place, as he says, Dewey is
not Democrat; in the second place.
he is firm supporter of Mckinley; in
the third place if he ever becomes a
candidate for president he will be a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tlon. The st. Paul Globe and other
Democratic papers which SHE'D at
Bryan, are looking over their shoulders
for relief and will have to find another
Moses. They will have to fall back on
German or Whitney.

REPRESENTATIVE TAWNEY's plan to
regulate the trusts by means of special
taxation would be an admirable one
except for the fact that the trusts are
quite as expert in the matter of dodg-
ing taxation as they are in the matter
OF lodging antitrust laws. The great
difficulty is in convicting trust of be-
ing trust. Any organization or cor
poration which would admit that it
was trust can be readily regulated
under existing laws. But when it
comes to the matter of declaring a COR
poration a trust, while the corporation
itself hold that it is not a trust: then
comes the rub. Guess again, Jim.

THE DISCOURAGED DEMOCRACY,

THE DISCOURAGED DEMOCRACY.
Admiral Dewey says that Aguinaldo
and his followers are stablemen and
servants, and not high-minded patriots
capable of enjoying the blessings of
self-government. The admiral's opin-
ion Of the insurrectionists in the Phil
lppines will be taken as final by the
large. majority of Americans, and
Bryan and Atkinson and the other
antis will have to produce some other
issue for campaign purposes. They
cannot attack the tariff, for never be-
fore has the country enjoyed such pros
perity as that which now blesses all
classes. Free Silver must also be rele-
gated to the rear for the same reason.
and the last war did so much to oblit-
crate sectional feeling that the solid
south can no longer be depended upon
to follow with unbroken ranks the ban
ner of Democracy. About the only
issue available will be the conduct of
the war, and as the United States
army and navy have been invincible
IN every contest, there will be nothing
left for them to howl about except
minor details. That Democracy is
doomed to another overwhelming de-
feat is now more than ever before a
foregone conclusion.-Anoko Herald.

 Years After It's Birth.

This is the second day of the trial of D. H. Duncan, and to see the great throngs of spectators in the court room full of curiosity as they sit quietly listening to the sensa- tional proceedings of the case, one would judge that President McKin- ley and w. J. Bryan were going to meet in a 20 round glove contest and they were arxiously awaiting their appearance.
 The trial is the talk of town, and much speculation is in dulged in as to the outcome of the case.
 Thursday afternoons session of the trial was closed witt tse examin- ing of witnesses. the most important of which was that of William Shep- pherd, Judge of Grant County. He said be had seen Batfe Mason when she was a, baby, but bad not seen her in sixteen years. He said he would know any child if be had seen it W hen it wasa babyl sixteen years afterwards. His evidence dealt largely upon Bate Mason's exact age.
 Ruf King was then examined. He testified that Dr. Mason came to Sheridan in 1881, and that Battle Mason was born in 1883 The year was impressed by several occur- rences. It was particularly dry. Then he was breaking particularly wild mule, and Dr. Mason talked to him while he was thus en gagged.

ROBBED 4 RESIDENCE.
Two Youthful Nes foes Steal Val
 uables at Redfeld.

Deputy Constable Sam Starks, of Jefferson springs, arrived ID Pine Bluff Thursday afternoon with two young e9iored boys. They gave their names to be Al Watson and Harry Hunt. Their ages are about 15 and 16 respectively.
 Wednesday afternoon these negro boys entered a residence at Redfield. during the absence of ifs occupants and stole q small amount of money and fine gold ring They left for other parts efter their deed and while on their way they were met by the landlady of the house robbed, and she thought she recognized the gold ring upon one of the negro's hands. When she arrived home she discovered the loss and immediately notified the Jefferson Springs au- thorities. as the bows were going in that direction when last seen.
 Stark kept sharp lookout and the boys walked slowly into the Springs q few minutes after the message had been received. The ring was identified as the property Of Felix Lays the occupant of the house entered.
 The youthful thieves now languish in the Jefferson county jail, awaiting trial.
