WHY JONES WAS CHOSEN TO
LEAD DEMOCRACY.
Arkansas of All the States in the
Union Has Fallen OFF in Resources
and Productions = Senator Jones
Representative Man.

Many people have wondered why it is
that, while the Republican party selects
men of affairs from the great manufac-
turing and agricultural States Of the
Union to manage it's Presidential cam
paign, the Democratic party selects
man like Senator Jones, from a State
like Arkansas, to be the head of its Ma
tional Campaign Committee.
Senator Jones was formerly slave
owner and dealt in human flesh and
blood. When abroad among his slaves
with his old black snake whip he ac-
quired some experience relative to "inl-
periansm,' and the consent of the
governed" His conscientious regard
for the preservation Of the liberties"
Of the people was so great that his deep
concern over the liberties Of the Fill
pinos is only excelled by admiration of
the way that his dear friend Aguinaldo
and his Tagal associates treat the other
tribes Of the Philippines, and hold them
in subsection.
But Senator Jones' principal qualifi-
cation to head the Democratic national
campaign Of calamity, and which I'M
doubtedly led to his selection as chair
man, is that he comes from South
ern State, and also that while all the
other Southern States are progressing

Criminal Lawyers Advice.

Noted criminal lawyers are less i'm
pressed than most other people by the
detective work which supplies the evil
dence that eonvicts murderers whose
crimes are plotted and performed in Sc
cret. "If had to advise a man how
to commit murder with certainty Of
conflicting testimony which would in
sure his acquittal,' said an ex-district
attorney once, II should tell him to
shoot his man at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Broadway in the crush

A well-knOwn young lawyer Of Chr

bank, found himself in need of $500 the
other day, and saw no way of getting
it without borrowing. So he called
upon his uncle with a request that the
bank make him the loan on his note
The uncle was perfectly willing to ac
commodate his nephew, and personally
attended to the drafting of the note
which the young lawyer was to give as
security.

rules, Davie," said the bank president

that on Jan. /, 1896. the value of mich
cows in Ohio was $1S,42O,227, and Jan.
1. 1900, the value was $25.224,33O, and
the number had increased from 759,o97
to 7SO,939 In sheep Ohio had, Jan. l,
1896, 2,754,613, valued at $5,247,53S,
and on Jan. /, 1900. she had 2,S39,69O
sheep, valued at $10,535, $50. The to-
tai value of horses, mules, mich cows,
other cattle and sheep in Ohio, Jan. j,
1896, was SOS, 1882, Isl. On Jan. l, 1900,
it was $92, 1854, 466, gain of over S24'-

Looking at the above figures, seeing
Arkansas, first in illiteracy, lowest In
savings banks, steadily going back
ward in agricultural wealth, while ey-
cry other Southern State is wonderful
~ increasing, it is seen why Senator
Jones of that State was selected above
all others to lead in the Democratic

sentative of the calamity howlers.

property of Spain in the Philippine
archipelago. There was opposition to
the ratification of the treaty. Mr..
Bryan came to Washington and per-
suaded his Democratic friends to vote
for the treaty
''The people of the United States, and
particularly of the Pacific coast, be-
came entitled to the vast commerce Of
the Pacific Ocean of which the Philip
pines furnish the key.
Zone AguinaIdo had raised rebel
lion in>Luzon against Spain before the
commencement of the Spanish war
with the United States. This adven-
turer had sold out or settled his rebel
lion with Spain for 100000 before
part of the bargain with Spain, Aguin-
aldo agreed to leave the island and
never return.
dewey took the willy agitator back
to the islands, supposing, Of course,
that Aguinaldo would naturally be an
enemy of Spain and friend of the
United States. In this Admiral Dewey
was mistaken. An organization was
formed in the United States called the
Anti-Imperialist League, which has for
the last two years co-operated with
Aguinaldo's Tagal junta, with head
quarters at Hong Kong, to supply lit
erature and materials of war for
Aguinaldo.
THE assistance and the encourage
ment he received from the ,Anti-Im-
perialist League, and the enemies of
the United States, both at home and
abroad, made his barbarous and irreg-
ular war bloody and expensive.
"Mr. Bryan's unparalleled campaign
for the principles of the Chicago plat
form, and his insistence upon the adon-
ton of that platform at Kansas Civ.
induced the people to suppose the cam
paign Of 1900 would be conducted CD
the issues of 1896. In this it seems
they were mistaken"
Senator Stewart then quoted Mr.
Bryan's declaration of his intention If
elected, t. call an extraordinary SEES
sion of Congress to give the Philippines
freedom upon the same terms as Cuha
He also denounced the recent conven.
ton of anti-fmperialists at Indianan-
oils. He also denounced Mr.. BRYAN for
promising to- attempt to extend the
Monroe doctrine to the Orient"
