II newspaper reports concerning the ac-
tiOu Of the Senate Democratic caucus be
true, the country will b. surprised to see
how strong the HOar, Wellington. Petit
greE. Hale. and Mason Filipino element is
in the ranks OF the opposition. One Sen
ator who took part in the caucus is quoted
as saying that Democrats will be content
with nothing short Of a declaration by the
United States that it does not intend 10
keep the Philippines. but will set up
Aguinaldo as a sister republic as soon as
he laws down his arms. Such an express
sion may represent the views of one Dem
Ocrat. or possibly of negligible minority
Of the party; but nothing is more uotori-
Gus than that the great mass of the or
ganization are as much determined to
keep our flag flying in the Philippines as
Mr.. Mckinley can be. II the object OF the
Democratic annex TO the Boston junta is
to drive away votes. and bury the party at
the polls next November. nothing could be
better adapted 10 the end than the present

many New Torkers in Washington are pre-

Albany to the effect that Governor Roose-

port is that the governor has now over a

marked as significant that this rumor is
not specific in the important matter Of the

however. that the Rough Rider has gained
a victory on this point the belief is wide
spread that il will prove the most costly

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.


senator Allen the Nominee :-Sena-
tor Butler. Chairman OF the Popuhst
National Committee, has decided to call
a meeting Of the committee at Lincoln,
Neb.. about the middle OF February He
expects to be able to announce the exact
date in a few days. The Senator selected
Lincoln because that place was shown 10
be the choice of an overwhelming majority
Of the committee as expressed in answers
be received from circular letter sent oUs
about month ago. asking the committee
men where and when they wanted 20 hold
the meeting. The selection of Colonel
Bryan's home is generally believed 10 in
dicate that the inciplent mutiny lately
started in the Populist camp against Bry-
an has been completely quelled. Further
more, il is taken as indicating an i'm
piled compliment 70 Senator Allen as well
as TO Colonel Bryan, and il is not doubted
that the Senator can get the Populist nom
iuation for President without "a struggle, Il
he will agree TO accept il. II is not be-
heyed, however. that Senator Allen would
accept the nomination unless it should be-
come evident that the PCpulists wish to
take more circuitous route 10 the Bryan
column this year than they took I'm 1896. In
that event. IL is considered probable that
they Will call their convention month OF
more in advance of the Democratic conven-
uop, and nominate Senator Allen. with the
intention Of maintaining a threatening at
titude OF independence toward the Demo
Gratis in behalf OF Colonel Bryan's candi-
dacy for denomination. In other words,
the nomination of Senator Allen would
be a warning to the Democrats that unless
they again make Colonel Bryan their
standard bearer the fusion OF 1896 cannot
be looked for this year. Per contra, if the
Democrats do renOminate Colonel Bryan
Senator Allen could gracefully Withdraw
and throw mis- organized Populist follow
ing to the Democratic nominee. Il is be
lieyed the Populists will follow the Id-
vice Of Senator Allen TO hold their naiioLal
convention al Kansas City.

New York Gives UP.-As predicted by
The Times yesterday. New York has aban-
doned the contest for the Democratic Ma
uonal Convention. The rooms engaged at

headquarters during the meeting there on
February %. of the Democratic National
Committee. nave been given up. AS soon
as this announcement WAS made Represen-
tative Cowherd Of Kansas City engaged
the rooms as headquarters for his town
and Immediately took possession OF them
Mr.. Cowherd has not lost hope OF Kansas
City winning the convention prize. though
very few other people believe the Missouri
town stands the least show. At present it
appears reasonably certain that the ,on-
ventiOn viii be awarded 10 Milwaukee,
Cincinnati and Chicago are still In the race
but neither place is making much noise
which is supposed to Indicate either that
each is on a still hunt or that both have
despaired OF success. IL is suspected that
Colonel Bryan has had something 10 do
with New NOrk's withdrawal from the con-
test. The NebTaskan has not discussed the
subject for publication since ne came East
but IL has been generally believed all along
that he was opposed 10 the convention be-
Ing held on this side OF the Alleghenies
Presumably. therefore he gave strong In
timation Of this 10 his New York follogn,g
and this led them 10 the Abandonment Of
the contest.

Use that Fifty Thousand.

When the Jail lot was sold, it was
generally understood and accepted that
the proceeds were to be applied toward
building the new Court House, and the
action of the County Commissioners in
ordering the fifty thousand dollars de
posted to the credit of the building
fund Is to be commended, because OF
the fact that by so doing they were car
rying into execution the will OF the
people. At the time the proposition
was voted upon to create fund for
the erection of new county building,
material OF all kind was much lower
in price than it is now, and this ac-
counts for the amount being fixed at
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars. Conditions have changed,
necessitating the expenditure of lar
ger sum OF money in order that salts
factory results may be reached. Sure
ly no one can question the wisdom OF
the action of the County Commission
ers. for in their every movement the
interests and WelIare Vi lhe pupilc mas
been carefully guarded. Another thing,
1t should not be forgotten that the
county, through their excellent busi-
ness ability, received a good round sum
for the Jail lot property, for which they
should be given due credit. They went
about it in exactly the right way, no
detail being overlooked. and the sum
received meets with the universal ap-
proyal OF the taxpayers OF Washington
County.
What our people want is court
house. a good one. and 1t occurs to US
that now Is no time to quibble over lit
tie differences or to delay the work OF
construction because of trivial techni-
cality.

Mob violence is to be deplored, anG
should be discouraged. However, il
must be admitted that there is good
reason for summary action in a case
like the Akron outrage. The dignity
of the law, 1t is true, must be upheld
and the honor of our state maintained
but at the same time it is to be remem-
bered that the home is most sacred
and that the virtue of tn innocent
child must be protected at all times
and under all circumstances. Ordinar-
lily the law of the statutes should take
Its course, but where a six-year-old
child Is criminally assaulted by an
arch-demon like Louis Peck, there is
at least some justification in allowing
the law Of morality 20 take its course.

Enormous Increase Of Savings Bank De.
posits Since 1899
In some portions of the country the
Democrats are endeavoring to show
that there is no general prosperity in
the country. 1t will be well to cite
them to the official reports of the saw
ings banks of the state Of New York.
According to these figures nearly
one-third of the inhabitants Of New
York state have savings banks ac-
counts at the present time. The ac
tual number OF depositors is 2,036,017,
and the total Of thei: savings Is 1922,
0S1 $50. This is an increase of 105, ,16S
In the number of deposits of a year
ago, and of over 5000 ,000. 900 over 1896,
when Bryanism threatened the coun'
try and soup houses were thicker than
savings banks.
What remarkable showing! How
completely does 1t dispose of the Dem
ocratic cry that there Is no widespread
prosperity and that the government is
being conducted solely in the interests
Of the rich.
Are the Democrats silly enough to
believe that the thousands of men and
women who have small bank accounts
established within the past four years,
will vote for party which would, IL
1t had system of finance which would
sweep away these deposits or cut their
purchasing power in two? These saw
ings banks reports do not leave a leg
on which calamity howlers can stand

The week has been exceptionally dull
in the stock markets, there having
been very little trading. Wednesday s
tradilgwas the smallest since Janu-
ary, 1897, and the other days of the
week have only managed to hold their
own. Friday was no exception and
can be characterized only as dull
ard featureless day.
A poor bank statement is expected
,oday and it Is probable that there will
be no activity to break the weeks mo-
notony.

yesterday but other quotations show
but little to awaken interest. The

To vote for Bryan is to vote for
free silver; and that, were it to come
to pass, would bring business crash
worse than we have yet seen, and de-

voters found to their cost in 1892.
