OUR EASTERN POSSESSIONS.
Prof. Worcester Gives His Views on
the Philippines.


NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-The first annual
dinner Of the National jewelers. Associ-
alton and Board OF Trade. was given at
the WaldorfAstoria last night The pleas
for keeping the Philippines, made by every
one of the speakers. from the business man
TO the preacher. aroused great enthusiasm
The men who gave the dinner represent
nearly every section of the country. They
came to New York to attend the second
annual convention Of their organization OF
which the banquet was the closing event.
Prof Dean c. Worcester. who was a
member of the Philippine Commission,
spoke on Our Newest Possessions" He
said that he had passed four years in the
Philippines, and during that time he had
studied the islands and their people with
some care He said he might be pa-doned,
therefore, for concluding that he rather
knew something about what he was talk
ing OF. Professor Worcester said: while
l was in the Philippines l met a few
travellers who were willing to say the
natives were capable OF self government
/ don't know where they travelled but il
they spent much time in the north their
Ideas Of self government must be peculiar
They are intolerant Of anyone who
does not agree with their views. If any
Filipino said among FilipinOs that is said
against retaining the islands in our
National Congress the majority without
ado, would take that man out and shoot
him That's how they treat opposition.
And because Of that they conclude that the
people in this country who are supporting
them must be in the majority. They can
not understand how persons not in the
majority should be permitted 20 utter such
views and live

THE COUNTRY PREFERRED.
A Manufacturing Concern Moves to n
Chicago suburb.


CHICAGO, Jan. 24-Fears OF strikes,
the lack Of fresh air, and the belief that
country bred girls are better workers than
their sisters in the cities, have caused the
j. Y. FaTWell Company to select one OF
the small towns rear Chicago IN which TO
establish a factory that will give employ
ment 10 over 5cc women alone. The loca-
tion has not been yet decided, but there
is strong probability that Benton HarbOr,
Mich. will be chosen. although the firm
may decide upon Fond du Lac. Wis J.
S. Farweu says.
There are many reasons why we are
desirous OF removing our shirt, skirt, and
cloak factories from Chicago. The most
important is the labor question. In Chi
Cago We are never sure we can supply our
trade Each day we have 3. D.. strike hang
ing over our heads. II not a strike. talks
OF strike. and employees cannot work when
their minds are on thoughts OF strikes.
which are constantly being brought 10 the
surface. In a smaller city We WOULD es-
cape all this, as We would be away from
the labor centre.
After the labor question comes the
question OF fresh air for employees. Then
the question Of the class Of employees In
the country district we can depend upon
the farmers daughter. She Is strong
healthy, and willing TO work. She Is un-
acquainted with the ways OF the city, and
her time is given 10 her work, not 10 the
outside world. The girl who is raised and
lives in the city is surely not as strong,
nor can she accomplish the work as can
the girl who has been raised among the
green fields instead Of towering fat build
ings.
"All these points have been taken into
consideration. with the result that we
shall establish our factory not in Chicago,
but in the country town. But ! say again
the labor questions and unions caused US
20 consider all these details"

BITTEN BY A RATTLEsNAKE.
DIR. Kelly Calmly sucked the Poison
mud Continued His Lecture

BALTIMORE. Jan. 24-When the med
Ical society OF the Johns Hop
kins Hospital met Monday night
those in attendance were treated
to novel and rather nerve
racking experience. The principal in this
unique affair was Dr. Howard A. Kelly
While delivering lecture Dr. Kelly was
bitten by a rattlesnake. but with the
utmost sangfroid, and in the presence Of
the class, he sucked out the poison. and
then continued his lecture. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that he endeavored TO ap-
pear unconcerned as to the consequences
OF the bite. il was clear that, for a time,
at least. his anxiety was considerable.
When he had finished he declared that
he felt sure that nothing more was TO be
feared by reason of the fact that the
poison always takes effect very soon after
Il enters the blood, and. inasmuch as uT
10 that time he felt no in effects. he did
not fear serious results. Another cir
cumstance which contributed TO obviate
danger of any fatal consequences. he said
was the fact that the snake had STRUCK
at him before. and had thus exuded nearly
all OF its venom.

the effect that proceedings had been
instituted in the United States bankrupt
court. The bank was organized Septem-
Der. 1887, with an advertised canital OF
$4,000. The failure Is largely due TO
heavy Withdrawals during the past month.
The deposits are estimated at $50 900. or
over.
The suspension OF the Thompsonville
firm has also resulted in the closing Of the
doors OF the Robert z. Spencer private
bank, In the adjoining village OF Hazard

T0MORR0w's CONVENTION.
The Barton County Republicans Are Bad
~ Sea, And Even the Fixers Gan
not Decide Upon Ticket.

1t has been the happy duty OF
the DEMOCRAT to tell it's republi-
can friends in advance OF. their
conventions what was being
prepared for them. This fall,
however, it is different. Either
the doctors" are more reserved
about the kind of dose they
have prepared, or else they are
totally at sea as to the thing
that is the matter with the pa
tients, and don't just know what
to prescribe. They are inclined
to give it up as a hopeless case,
anyhow, and to say: ''let the
fever run it's course-the ticket
is a dead duck anyhow.
For representative M. B. Fits
may be the victim, although Ed.
Grizzell has been picked out as a
man from a good locality. w.
J. McGreevey has also been men
toned, but he being a Catholic
is not considered in the best OF
standing with the voters.
For county attorney. c. A.
Swartz has had it fixed for him
ever since two years ago. But
Swartz evidently sees. certain de.
feat ahead, for he has been in.

wonder, for they realize that the
only thing that could possibly.
save the election to them will be
the opportunity of using an un-
told amount of money with
which to buy up voters, subsidize
papers and back upfalse reports.
They realize that the democratic
platform is one that will appeal
to the loyalty. the patriotism,
the good sense of all lovers of
liberty and justice.
| BRYAN AND STEVENSON will be
the names to conjure by. The
ticket is a good one. 1t is a
ticket that will unite in it's sup
port all men who desire straight
forward, honest, unequivocal
plainness in platform and prin-
ciple. The nomination of Mr.
Stevenson was a happy solution
of a possible clash between the
delegates from different sections.
In the west and north they
wanted Towne; in the east and
south they wanted Hill. A fight
in convention between the friends
of those two men would have en-.
gendered i'll feeling. Every dele
gate in the convention was anx.
ious for united action; hence
when that grand old democrat
stevenson of Illinois, was men
toned, he proved to be the man
whom ALL could unite upon. His
record is clean. He was always
a Bryan man. He was always q
silver man; he fell out with one
Grover Cleveland upon the silver
Question alone. All gold bugs
fear him. The trusts and com
bines cannot use him. He has
large mining interests in Illinois
but has never had a strike among
his men. His nomination will
insure Illinois and Indiana fo1
VIM. J. Bryan. After the close
of the democratic convention,
Bryan and Stevenson were
promptly nominated by the Lin
coin republicans. Mr.. Towne
urged the silver republicans to
take this action. what's the
matter with Bryan and Steven
son? Not a thing on earth.
They are winners. "YoU KNOW
IT."
