TIE BEERS WHEELER WEDDING

Fer the past two months society has
been looking forward to the nuptials of
two of Bridgeport's popular and we'll
known young people, and Wednesday
evening January "a, the event of the East
Side took place. Ihe occasion was the
marriage of Emma Edith, daughter Of
Mr. and Mrs Elbridge E. Wheeler of
Stratford avenue, and George Gould
Beers, son of Charles A. Beers. The
wedding was most brilliant one and 70
which 200 Invitations mad been Issued.
The home of the bride can be said to
have been veritabie flower bower, for
In each room was specimen of the q Dr.
lists art, and it can be said that it was the
handsomest decorated home wedding
which has taken place in this city for
some time past. From the walk to the
house canopy was erected and on enter
ing the hall the sight which met the eye
| was one of great beauty. In the lower
hall the walls were covered with hearts
composed of white carnations and fern
and the balustrades were twined with
smilax tied with white and pink, thesG
being the predomiusting colors. At tht
head of the stairs palms and Towering
plants were stationed, while in thi
apartment the walls were covered with
circles of smilax, tied with red carnations

In speaking of Mr.. Padgett's fitness
to fill the office he aspires to, we can
but repeat what has already been
said. His standing as a lawyer of
ability is unquestioned. His moral
and chsistian character is beyond
reproach, his loyalty and fidelity to
the principles of democracy is too
well known to be doubted. No bet.

The Chronicle indorses him and COM

SENATORIAL DEBATE.

The d bate in the Senate on the
Philippine question is one of para
mount interest to the country Is.
sues of vital importance to the ma.
ton are at stake and party lines
have not been drawn on this question.
Democratic sentiment is almost
unanimous against the United States
holding the Philippines in perma.
nent possession, and some of the
strongest Senators Of the Republican
party are opposing the administra-
ton policy with the utmost vigor.
Together thew form "a great party of
representative men, true patriots
aud wise statesmen. who are Oppos-
ing the criminal aggression polly
Of the administration On the sound
est patriotic principles.
Their loyalty to American prin-
ciples is mistaken before the dream
of empire and the dazzling Beveridge
picture of vast Philippine gold
deposits" AMI OF forty miles .fpure
coal in Cebu's mountain chain"
and their courage is undaunted by
the railing accusation of being al
lies of Aguinaldo and traitors to
their country"
1t is well known and practically
undisputed fact that the retention
of the Philippines was an after
thought in the mind of the govern
ment. Ambition was fired by the
opportunity to gain power and
dominion and wealth, and was thus
diverted f. ON adherence to the con-
stitutonal principles on which this
government was established and by
which it has grown to glory and
to greatness.
At the last session Of Congress 1t
was the solemn declaration of the
Senate of the United States that the
Philippines should never become
| otdlCo VI lli0 ~ hiOui anu VIC p6Opl|
of the Philippines should not be
citizens of the United States, but
that the United States should give
them self government"
There is nothing uncertain in the
tone of the McEnery resolution in
which this declaration is embodied.
1t is decided and emphatic, and
those who control the destinies Of
this great country must belle their
former action or abandon their cause
of conquest.
Senator Vest Of Missouri, has
asked the pointed question of the
Senate, what has become of the
McEnery resolution?' 1t has evil

CHTnack.

So overwhelming ls public opinion
among Democrats concentrating upon
Mr. Carmack for the Senate in almost
every Democratic county in the State, a
contest can hardly be said to exist.
Judge Snodgrass, the other only an
nounced candidate, is lawyer of recog-
nized ability and from his long expert
ence on the Supreme Court bench, has
friends and admirers in many portions
of the State, but outside of few coun-
ties near his old home and perhaps in
East Tennessee where he at present re-
sides, such as may send Democrat to
the Legislature, he cannot hope To
work up strength enough to carry a
vote in the entire balance Of the State.
Carmack will sweep West Tennessee
solid, which will stand impregnable as
Gibraltar. He will not lose a vote In
the Nashville district, nor the Maury
county district, nor lose more than one
or two, il any, in the Murfreesboro dis
trict. He will carry from three 10 five
in the Chattanooga district, and from
Ave 90 seven IN the Carthage district.

DANGEROUS DESPOrs.

A dispatch Of recent date s'n' out
from New YorE contains the follhw-
ing infolma lou in regard To ole
necessary commodity:
The Standard Oil Company has
sent instructions to every oil depot
OF the trust in the United States to
advance the price OF oil 3 cents n gal
lon. This means that the income Of
the STANDARD OIL Company will be
nearly doubled. 1t will be - least
S5S 100000 The people of the United
States consume 80 600 900 gallons Of
ril every year. rhe increase OF 3
cents Il gallon will cDmpRl the pto-
pie TO paw the ) andard Oil Company
$29 100000 more in 1900 for their OF
than they did in 1899. AT the an
nual meeting of the dire C ors Of the
company to day, Jonn ID. ROckefel-
Ter was again elected president"
TIE above information explains
the trust attitude toward the coun-
try. The coal oil consumed by the
people of the United States is con
trOlled by the Standard Oil Com
pany. The yes or 40 IF that com.
paDy is final as regards the price of
oil. Shall OF be increased in price
to double the income of the Standard
Oil Company? Yes" says John d.
Rockefeller, and straig hJway it is
done. 1t is purely an arbitrary
ruling; no increase in cost of produc-
ton or increase in amount Of con-
sumption, justIfi9s it; it is simply
because the people can get it no
where else, and have to have it,
There is nothing left for them to do,
therefore, but to pay the advance
price.
The argument which the trusts
use in defending their system is
that combination enables them to
put the manufactured articles on
the market at a lower price than
could be done otherwise; but the
example of the Standard OIL Com
pany shows, if indeed an example is
needed, that combination also gives
them power to raise the price when.
ever they see fit to do SO, and that
they are merciless in their power.
This government ought to take
not only this, but all such combih ed
corporate mOnopolies by the throat
and stra ngle them to death.

General Warren Ia evidently deter.
mined not to make that mistake
His advance toward Ladysmith has
been slow and cautious. The coun-

The decisive contest has not yet
been waged in South Africa. Satur.

the Tugela were struggles for 10

Briti.h line will extend in the shape
of horseshoe, cutting off Beer
communication on the west to the
Free State and on the north TO the
Transvaal, including the railroad.
The open end of the horseshoe
would be the east in which direction
the Beers would be driven away
from railroad communication.

battle for that point, thus permitting
the relief of LadySmith, but keeping

QUAY AND CLARK,

Quay aud Clark are evidently not
to be seated in the Senate on the
merits of their individual claims.
The evidence is sufficient to show
that neither man is entitled to a
place in that body. Quay has been
waging political W lrfare long enough
to become a stategist, however, and,
although Clark is new figure in
politics the hearing of his case be-
fore the Senate committee shows
that dishonest methods were en-
ployed to secure his election. The
character of the two men and the
weakness of their claims to seats in
the Senate, have given rise to the
rumor that they have united their
forces, so that when the rights of the
two men to their seats come to an
actual vote in the Senate, the sup
porteIs of one man will vote for the
other, in order to supply each candi-
date with a sufficient number of
votes for decision in his favor.
So far as the rumor effects the
character of Quay and Clark, there
is nothing inconsistent in the plan.
The past history of the men proves
that they are capable of taking any
turn that will further their schemes
but the alleged combination imputes
a baseness to the Senate which its
most contemptuous critics are not
willing to ascribe to it. Such an
imputation challenges the integrity
of that BODY, and it there is any
basis for the current rumors the
Senate will evihdicate its honor by
promptly ejecting both of the con-
spirators.
