DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS.
Independence for FiIipinps Recom-
mended by Bryanite Kepre-
sentatiyes

The democrats in congress have not
been able to agree on Phi ippine pol
icy as yet. A few days ago representa-
tive Williams, of Mississippi, offered
series Of resolutions which, lit is under
stood, express the views Of Mr.. Bryan.
Those resolutions propose that the
United States shall recognize the right
OF the Filipin6s to national independ-
ence, and shall withdraw its land and
sea forces upon "the inauguration of a
constitutional government )r govern
ments by the people Of the islands or
any Of them" Were the American
forces to stop fighting, Aguinaldo
would set up in day what he and
Representative Williams would call a
constitutional government" because
there would be written constitution
which would be SO much waste paper.
Then it would be the duty ofthe United
States to move out. But unCer the res
olutions it would have to protect for
ten years the constitutional govern
ment or governments" against the ag
| gressions of foreign powers.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, has Of
fered resolutions regarding the Philip
pines which, though they differ from
those of Representative Williams, are,
it is understood, favored by many dem
ocrats. These Bacon reso utions de-
clare that it is not the purpose of the
| United States to maintain permanent
/ dominion over the Philippines, but that
| it contemplates the establishment OF
an independent government there ul
| timately, and that when a stable gov
ernmept shall have been established un
der American supervision, competent
and worthy in the judgment of the
United States to exercise the powers o.
an Independent government and pre-
serve peace and maintain order within
its jurisdiction" then national inde
pendence shall be given the Filipinos
The difference between these TIVE
The state capital., 1899-01-13

sets of resolutions is considerable. One
set contemplates the abandonment Of
the islands by the United States when
ever the Filipinos set up what they will
call constitutional government, but
which will be a choice mixture of an
archism and despotism, cemented to-
gether with blood. Fhe other set pro-
poses that the islands shall not be
given up until American authority hGs
been fully established and the Filipinos
have proved to the satisfaction of the
United States that they are competent
to govern themselves. They are not
now. Humanity speaking, they never
will be. They do not belong in the
category of self-governing races. The
adoption of a constitution will not put
them there.
What is to be gained, then, by prom
ising the Filipinos national independ-
ence when they are fit for it, when it
is plain that they never will be fit for
it, at least not until generations have
come and gone? The only effect Of
such a promise, impossible of fulfill
ment, will be to encourage malcontent
Filipinos like Aguinaldo to keep on
insisting that they are fit for independ-
ence and shooting at American SOL
diers to prove it,. All these democratic
rsolutions-none of which will be adopt
ed-will contemplate recognizing on
possible or impossible conditions, tie
national independence of the Filipinos,
serve only to confirm Aguinaldo in the
belief that he has friends in this coun-
try, and thus encourage him to keep
o4 resisting the lawful authorities in

AN ECHO OF 1906.
A Calamity Howl That Is Reminis.
cent of the Bryan
Campaign.

The democratic calamity howlers
continue to lift up their voices and re-
f4se to be comforted. Here is the way
in which Hon. James A. Norton, Of
Ohio, in a speech to the house of rep
resentatives recently, lamented the evil
case of the country.
"There is an enormous amount of money
in the country, but its distribution is glar-
inGly unequal. In the vaults of Wall street,
in the Golfers of the trusts, there is an
abundance, but among the toiling millions
there is penury and want. AS for labor, all
over the land are seen closed factories
Every branch of industry that the octopus
grasp of the trusts has gathered inland

has had competition destroyed. 4 fac
tory here and there in each line of manu-
f2cture has been selected to continue in
operation, while hundreds of others under
the trust control are closed and silent as

tens of thousands, their travelling statesmen

no longer needed, in one instance alone.

GO over the nation, among the farmers

true that nature has given them abundant
harvests, and the necessities of the world,
war, pestilence and famine have combined
to temporarily raise the price of a few OF
their products, but have their farms in
creased in value, have their prices kept
equal pace with improvements and the ad'
vancing price of bank stock? Is it not
true that land can be purchased in almost
every farming community in the United
States to-day at price far below the orig
inal cost of the same and the improvements
made thereon?"
This sounds like an echo of the sill
verite speeches Of 1896 and is too palpa-
bly, absurd to require refutation. N

BODY OF Mr., KIMMEL
Will Arrive on the Frisco This
Morning
FROM CHANDLER, O. I.
No One Able to Find Out How
He Was Killed.

The body Of J. n Kimmel, who was
sa1ot at Chandler, Oklahoma, at o'clock
Monday night. will arrive In Wichita this
morning on the Frisco at s:15. Every eff
fort to ana out how Mr.. Rimnei met the
accident was useless last night. The
closing of the telegraph onices, account
the Fourth a legal holiday, made 1t i'm
possible to readh Chandler by wire The
Telegram giving the news Of Mr.. KimmePs
death came to Mr.. L w. Clapp. by whom
ne was employed for three years prior TO
his removal TO Chandler. He went TO
Chandler Just a year ago today. July 5,
1888 Mr.. Kimmels friends hold 20 the
belief that he was shot by accident as he
was q very peaceable, sober and quiet
man, who never visited places or engaged
In practices that lead to trouble. He had
worked for Mr.. CIapp for three years in
The loan business and when branch Office
was put in at Chandler Mr.. Kimmel. who
was a very active and successful business
man, was put in charge.
H. A. Wattles Of Clearwater, a relative
of Mr.. Kimmel's, came here last night and
will take charge OF the corpse as soon as
Ct arrives. Mr.. Wattles thinks the shot
that killed Kimmel was accidental, for
while he says MIR. Kimmel was a man OF
positive and pronounced opinion. he was
not quarrelsome. Mr.. K1mel belonged to
the A o. u. w. and F. A A of Kansas.
He leaves a wife and two children.

WONT FIGHT IT OUT
Prediction by W. H. Asher of
Pond Greek
THAT BARNES AND FLYNN
Will Compromise Their Po-
Iitical Fight

W. II. Asher. deputy clerk of the dis
trict court at Pond Creek, Oklahoma, was
in the city yesterday and registered at the
Manhattan hotel. When seen by a rep
resentatiye of the Eagle and asked for
some statements concerning oklahoma's
politics. said:
cially and every other way in Oklahoma.
We've got lots of wheat. The crop Of
wheat this year, estimated from the
threshings that have already been made,
will be equally as good as the crop of
last year and two years ago. That, you
must know, makes US all right. for the
world heard of Oklahoma through its big
wheat crops of the last two years."
els your county affected politically by
the Barnes-Flynn fight of Oklahoma"
mo. You couldn't find out who are
Barnes men and who are Flynn men IN
our county If you were to go into Pond
Greek and spend days to do 1t. We are
Republicans and there the matters ends"
do you think Governor Barnes or
Flynn will win out finally in the fght?"
II do not think 1t will ever be fought
out. / think a compromise will be ar
ranged and the difficulty will be patched
up. The whole Republican party of the
territory is interested in having the
trouble between the governor and Flynn
fixed up, and I believe the two principals
know that their followers do not want the
fight any longer. That is my reason for
saying that 1 believe it win be patched
UP. When that Is done we will be in good
shape all over the territory to whip the
whole opposition of the fusion forces"

WATER SPOUT
SETS LUMBER YARD ON FIRE
At Pend Creek. OklahOna, Monday
Night.

7. r. Gentry, a lumber man Of Pond
Creek o. T, was here yesterday to cele-
orate some and look after business mat
tiers as well. He says that Pond Creek
had water spout Monday night which
nearly overflowed the town. The water got
up into Mr.. Gentry's lumber yard and ran
into the lime bin. This started a fire at
once, and for awhile it looked like a very
destructive fire. The fire was put out in
short order by rolling the barrels struck
by water out into the storm ana getting
1t out of the yard. This is a new origin
for fire. 1t is probably the first time
that a structure was ever set on fire by
a water spout.
