THE VERDICT OF A DEMOCRATIC
BOARD.

Our readers will remember the
howl raised few months since by
certain Democratic newspapers over
alleged cruelty to convicts on the
State farms. 1t will be remembers
that this howl was raised by the very
machine newspapers that endorse
the numbering in cold blood of the
innocent voters at the last election
whose only crime was that they
would not vote for'the Simmons ma.
chine. But these same papers pro
fsss to have their bowels Of pity and
compassion stirred for the convict.

Trades Unions Object to Exclusion Of
Negroes From Parade.

ATLANTA, Ga, De-. 21.-A special
from Montgomery, Ala, says:
A sensation entirely new to this
section was sprung here to-day in
labor circles. A street fair and
trades display will be held here,
commencing Monday with street
parade, in which the trades unions
were to participate. To-day, the
unions announced that they would
AXE no part in the Lsrt in the pa
rade, because the Parade Committee
of the fair declined to allow the ne
gro trades unions a place in the line
The street fair people and the
unions appointed committees to con-
fer and try to arrange matters, but
without result. The white union
men take the position that the white
unions have contracts, with refer
ence to wage-scales, ETC., with those
composed of negroes, and that the y
would not deal with an organization
that was not responsible and respec'
table; that as a regularly organlz q
trades union, the negro union is en-
titled to place in the parade, and
that the refusal of the fair commit
tee 10 give the negroes place is DIS
respectful to organized labor, rathI
than to the negro race.

attributed to his habit of wearing "a

off when he became heated. He was
repeatedly warned that he was unneces-
sarily exposing himself and advised to
get a lighter garment to wear as the
weather became milder, but he would
start out in the morning with his fur
coat, wea it until be was thoroughly
heated add perspiring, when he would
take it off and carry it on his arm until

The passage of the army

The passage Of the army ~reorganiza-
ton bill % to Ii, in the senate, Monday,
was marked by some keen thrusts and
remarkable statements. Senator Vest
called up the statement OF the imperial.
istic press that the president had IN
structed the peace commission to take
nothing less than the island OF Luzon as
part indemnity for the war, as Porto
Rico was worth only s40,O 900 and that
was not enough. This was conquest
and grab. IF that be true continued
the senator. chow is it that the president
said in his Boston speech that this con-
tingency has come upon Us by the act OF
GOD. He says there has been no dispo-
sition to exercise the power of conquest;
that the people of the United States are
called upon now under an omnipotent
providence to dispose Of the responsible
tiles placed upon them by accident OF
battle. If the island was to be taken
why does he tell us o that he has
been an instrument of providence?"
He said that all those who were op-
posed to the plans of the administration
were denominated as traitors, but he re-
pudiated the charge with scorn. III
spoken" he said. sit is a SANDER; if writ.
ten. a libel"
Senator Hoar gave it a singing consti.
tutlonal dig. He said it was bis an.
nounced intention not to support the bill.
1t was o a bill for supplies. nor was it
"A bill for the complete reorganization of
the army. 1t was then merely a bill to
provide al army to make Wal upon the
people of the Philippines. With the
exchange Of Publications OF the peace
treaty the war would be at an end. 1t
would then be necessary to determine
whether there WAS to be a civil war.
Senator Pettigrew alse announced his
intention to vote against the bill, saying
there was army enough now, and that
with the return OF peace there could be
no need Of great army. Neither the
president nor any senator had attempt
ed to explain the purpose of the bill.
He had voted to support the president
ut the beginning OF the war, but the
president was no longer entitled to his
confidence. Il believe it the duty OF
congress-" he said, "to remain in session
indefinitely to prevent the executive
from pursuing a course toward these
people that will forever blacken the
name of this great republic"

sists Of Senators Stewart, Toy, Stillwell,
Boyland and Smith of Sanborn. and
Representatives Warren, Moultep, Rus

establishing a board OF agriculture to
consist of the presidents OF several state
industrial societies and three represent
alive farmers to be appointed by the
governor was passed; also Packard's bill
for a new state fair board consisting Of
five members, all to be appointed by the
governor. The latter bill appropriates
$1,000 to be used annually in payment
of the premiums when regular receipts
are insufficient. The consideration of
the veto of the Watertown normal
school bill was put over one day. In the
senate the bill appropriating $4,000 for
improvements at Brookings college was
killed. The bill appropriating money to
cover deficiencies in accounts of railroad
commissioners passed. An attempt to
kill the ~osteopathy bill on file failed, as
did an attempt to advance the house
joint resolution resubmitting the dis
pensary question. The governor has
signed the pure food bill.
