A RESOLUTION
OF SYMPATHY
For the Beers in Their Strug.
gle Against England
MEETS REPUBLICAN DIsFAvOR
Democratic Chairman Says the Republi-
cans Dare Not Adopt the Resolu-
tion as Britons Might
Retaliate.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Washington, Dec. 7.-Senator Petit
grew, of Dakota, who is an intense anti
expansionist, as well as an ardent op-
ponent of the Mckinley administration,
intended yesterday to offer in the SEN
ate a resolution of sympathy for the
Beers, but was called out of the cham
ber he says, and during his absence
Senator Mason introduced his resolu-
ton. Pettigrew insists that the senate
should put itself on record. He fears,
however, that the Republican leaders
will never allow a direct vote to lie
taken and that a number of Democrat
expansionists will aid them in order to
uphold their own action in voting for
favored measures directed against the
Filipinos by the U. S. All attempts,
so far, to obtain opinions from leading
Republican senators have failed. Most
of those approached said that they had
not had time to consider so serious u
proposition and that whatever is done
will be on the party lines. Senator Jones
of Arkansas, is anxious to have vote
on the resolution. He believes most of
the Democrats will support the prop
osition. Jones declares that the Re-
publicans are afraid of the resolution,
fearing that if they adopt it, the Brit
ish house of commons, by way of retail
iation, will adopt an expression of sym
pathy for the Filipinos in their struggle
for liberty against the armed force of

The county commissioners spent most
of Wednesday in giving attention to the
establishment of new county roads.
The Young road in Tuscarawas town
ship and the Wise road at Greentown
had no opposition and both were grant
ed and ordered open. The Harley
Smith road in Plain township brought
out controversy. The claimants for
damages and compensation said they
did not get enough. They gave about
six acres Of land which they figured
worth $15S an acre and the whole re-
compense had been put at $1s9. Judge
Fawcett appeared for the objectors and
A. M. Bordner for the petitioners. The
whole trouble was over the amount of
compensation. The commissioners
postponed the case till Friday.

there is a secret Anglo American alli-

His victim was Mrs. Hettie Ingram, a
highly respected lady. The feeling of

prisoner at the trial that the court had
to exercise great precaution o prevent
an outbreak against him., 1t was only
the fact that the people felt confident
that speedy justice would be meted out

violence. The prisoner, however, had a
fair trial, and his guilt was clearly es-

WHY MR.. TAYLER WAS CHOSEN.

It is fitting that Mr.. Tayler should
have been selected to fight the Mormon
polygamist, because part of his district
is a portion of the Western Reserve on
which Mormonism first flourished and
grew The first Mormon temple was
built at Kirkland, Ashland county, by
Joseph Smith in 1886. Hence it is fit
ting that the people who first knew and
discovered the falsity of the Mormon
claims should have a hand in keeping
out of congress q man who practices
hated polygamy contrary to law and
morality and who on this occasion rep
resents the head and front of the Nor
mon church.-Youngstown Telegram.
1t is all very we'll and fitting" that
Mr.. Tayler should attempt to keep out
of congress a man who practices "hated
polygamy," but while Mr.. Tayler is do
ing this on high moral grounds, he
should not forget that the Sulu treaty
guarantees not only a plurality of wives
to the people of Sulu, but it also protects
slavery. Mr.. Tayler should call the at
tention of congress to the protection
the Stars and Stripes give these twin
barbarisms. Don't you think so? Or is
vice in Utah, accounted a virtue in the
Sulus, by Mr.. Tayler and the admins
tration? Or do we have to wait three
quarters of century for some one to
rise from the Sulu islands, where po-
lygamy now fourishes, as was the case
in Mr. Tayler's county, where polygamy
first fiourished some sixty years ago?
Surely God moves in a mysterious way!

One Of the government clerks at
Washington was discharged a few days
ago for criticising the policy of the pres
ident concerning the Philippines. The
man was a Republican, too. If this poor
clerk had only waited until after the
presidents message to congress he
would have found that the president had
no Philippine policy to criticise, and he
would still be holding on to his job. But
here is a lesson for others. Free speech
is not tolerated by this administration.

In yielding to public sentiment in the
Roberts case, congress has established
a precedent it may be sorry for. The
people may keep on petitioning and all
that congres will have to do in the fu-
ture is to wait until the peopl are heard
from and then act. This is approaching
the initiative and referendum.
