democrativ committee; ex-Vice Presiden
Adlai E. Stevenson and General p. Wa
Hardin Of Kentucky, were here today ant
this afternoon met n large gathering Of
local democratic leaders. After greetings
Senator Jones spoke at some length, an
nouncing some views of current political
issues.
He said: II believe that all people have
a right to govern themselves in their own
way. The American people will rise UP
as one man and condemn the course OF
the administration as criminal aggression.
Tho next democratic convention will reaf-
firm the Chicago platform and nominate
Bryan. 1t will declare against trusts. 1t
will declare in favor of establishing free
dom everywhere. My idea about the
Philippines Is that 1t is our duty to re-
store order and then allow those people
to make government of their own and
let them manage their own affairs in their
own way. The government of the United

We should treat the Filpinos with the
same good faith as the Cubans. Whether
We will keep faith with the Cubans l have
my doubts.
THE Beers, by their resistance, are
making votes for us with every rising and
setting of the sun. Our sympathy goes
out to those poor fellows in way that
words can not express
Ex-Vice President Stevenson and GEN
era Hardin also spoke along the same
lines, all being optimistic OF democratic
success.

Laredo, Tex, January 7.-Customs Inspec- tors McGloin, F. P. Earnest and others
 who went down the Rio Grande river in search of Beeler, the missing driver em- ployed by the Wells Fargo Express com pany in San Antonio, who is thought to have made away with s6O000 while on his way to the Southern Pacific office, have returned and say that Beeler crossed the river and went into Mexico last Monday morning. The state rangers were in pos session of the gray horse Beeler had used, but the latter had secured fresh horses and escaped. City Marshal Bartholomew, of this city, and Mr. Mckenzie, of the Wells Fargo company, are on the scene and 1t is said they will pursue Beeler into Mexico. A Western Union operator is also with the party, thus enabling the officers to com municate along the uninhabited country with the officials of the express company.

 Will be No Surrender
 ''The democratic party will not return to the days of uncertainty and evasion. When the opponents of 16 to 1 agree upon another ratio it will be time enough to compare the merits of the new ratio with the merits of the old ratio. But they will not be per- mitted to suspend the party in mid-air, out of the reach of Is to and out of sight of anything else To surrender the ratio is to accept the gold standard as final.
 ''The Chicago platform was good when it was adopted; it grows better with age. It was strong in 1896; it is stronger now.
 But enough of old issues What of the new questions? Our party cannot ignore the issues raised by the war. It must speak out against militarism now or forever hold it's peace A large standing army is not only an expense to the people, e,~but it is a menace to the nation, and the democratic party will be a unit in opposing it.
 "A word in regard to imperialism. Those who advocate the annexation of the Philip pines call themselves expansionsts, but they are really lmperlallStS.
 President and Emperor
 "The word expansion would describe the acquisition of territory to be populated by homogeneous people, and to be carved into states like those now in existence. An em- pire suggests variety in race and diversity in government. The imperialsts do not de- sire to clothe the Filipinos with all the rights and privileges of American citizen ship; they want to exercise sovereignty over an alien race and they expect to rule the new subjects upon a theory entirely at variance with constitutional government. Victoria Is Queen of Great Britain and En- press of India: shall we change the title of our executive, and call him the-President of the United States and Emperor of the Philippines?

lS96; 1t opposes an English colonial policy now. Those who in 1896 were in favor of turning the American people over to the greed of foreign financiers and domestic trusts may now be willing to turn the Filipinos over to the tender mercies of mili-- tary governors and carpet-bag officials.
 Should Not be Withheld
 "Those who in 1896 thought the people of the United States too weak to attend to their own business may now think them strong enough to attend to the business of remote and alien races, but those who in 1896 fought for independence of the Amer ican people will not now withhold inde- pendence from those who desire it else where
 "We are told that the Filipinos are not capable of self-government; that has a fa- miliar ring. Only two years ago I heard the same argument made against a very respectable minority of the people of this country. The money loaners, who CO., creed borrowers did it upon that theory; the employers who coerced their employees did it for the same reason. Self-government is constant education; the capacity for self-government increases with participa- tion in government The Filipinos are not far enough advanced to share in the gov ernment of the people of the United States, put they are competent to govern them- selves. It is not fair to compare them with our own citizens because the American people have been educating themselves in the science of government for narly three centuries and while we have much to learn we have already made great improvement. Not Perfect Government
 'The Filipinos will not establish a perfect | government, but they will establish a gov | ernment as nearly perfect as they are com | petent to enjoy and the United States can | protect them from molestation from with | out. - | The republicans of Illinois, of course, will | not expect the Filipinos to select legisla- l ture equal to the last republican legislature 1 in Illinois in fidelity to the public welfare.

 of long experience. Give the Filipinos time ! and opportunity and while they never will i catch up with us, yet they may some day | stand where we stand now.

Much Discussion as to Who Will Be the

Mexico City, January 7.-There Is much discussion in political circles about the ambassadorship to the United States. It is recognized in high circles that it will be impossible to obtain any one with the samo qualifications that Ambassador Romero, who had gained an exceptional Knowledge of the American people and politics. and who was quite intimate with two generations of American statesmen, but it is not considered that the same qualifications are at the present time nec- essary, for Ambassador Clayton has shown a friendly spirit and such tact in several delicate negotiations with the government that it is felt that much of the important business can be transacted here. The pro- motion of Mr Clayton gives much satisfae- tion here.

ORDER DISBANDS.
Knights and Ladies of Columbia Go Out
 of Business.

Little Rock January "A petition was filed in chancery court today for the ap- pointment of a received to take charge of and wind up the affairs of the Knights and Ladies of Columbia. The order was or ganized in 1893 by Colonel William Sparling, of this city, who was the supreme recorder until his resignation last spring. It was originally the Knights and Ladies of Dixie, the name being changed in 1896. The mem bership embraces Arkansas, Texas, Lousf- ana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Tennessee. Ex-Governor R. B. Hubbard, of Texas, is supreme commander.
 The petition states that the or der Is in solvent and asks that the affairs be wound I'D.

ments which are always used in favor of conquest. Philanthrophy and per cent. The one chloroforms the conscience of tho conqueror and the other picks the pocket of the conquered.
 Criminal Aggression
 Some say that philanthrophy demands that we govern the Filipinos for their own good, while others assert that we must hold the islands because of the pecuniary profit to be derived from them. I deny the sound ness of both arguments. Forcible annexa- tion will not only be criminal aggression (to borrow MT. McKinley's language of a year ago), but it will cost more than it is worth, and the whole people will pay the cost while few will reap all the benefits.
 Still weaker is the argument based upon religious duty. The Christian religion rests upon the doctrine of vfcarious suffering and atonement; the colonial policy rests upon the doctrine of vlcarious enjoyment.
 When the desire to steal becomes un- ccntrollable in an individual he is declared to be kleptomaniac and is sent to an asylum when the desire to grab land be- comes uncomfortable. in a nation we are told that the currents of destiny are flowing through the hearts of men and that the American people are entering upon their manifest mission.
 Shame Upon Such Logic
 Shame upon a logic which looks upon the petty offender and enthrones grand lar ceny. Have the people returned to the worship of the golden calf? Have they made unto themselves a new commandment consistent with the spirit of conquest and the lust for empire? Is thou shalt not steal upon small scale to be substituted for the law of Moses?
 Awake, O, ancient law-giver awake. Break forth from the unmarked sepulchre and speed thee back to the cloud crowned summit of Mount Sinai; commune once more with the God of our fathers and pro- claim again the words engraven upon the tablets of stone-the law that was, the law that is today-the law that neither indi- vidual nor nation can violate with im- punity."

The door was broken in, the flames subdued and the woman taken to the hospital, where she died several hours later. She was able to say during her conscious moments that William Kennedy, who was living with her, was the man who had thrown the oil on her and set her clothing afire. After doing this, she said he had locked the door of the apartment to insure her death. The police have Kennedy in custody.
