CHAIRMAN JONES, VIEWS.

Occasionally Senator Jones, Chairman
Of the Democratic National Committee,
consents to give his views on public
questions to the newspapers. II an inter-
view published on Wednesday he points
out that the government the Republi-
can party gives the Philippines will like
ly furnish one of the leading issues of the
next presidential campaign. If he could
have his way he would give the Filipinos
their independence at the earliest prac-
ticable moment. He does not believe, how
ever, that the Republican party will do
anything of that kind, but will draw the
reins pretty tightly in administering the
government provided for them. Under the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
Porto Rico cases Congress has authority
to govern the Philippines as it sees fit.
Mr.. Jones is rather anxious to see what
sort of a government the Republican
Congress will give the islands. In his
opinion 1t will not have the approval of
the great majority of the American peo-
pie. Therein lies the opportunity of the
Democratic party.
mere Is dnuCn III WHAT SCIdpoT JOKES
says about this matter of the government
of the Philippines. The people will not be
so occupied with the prosperity" ques-
ton in the next presidential campaign as
they were in the last. Then they were
just recovering from a period of hard
times, and, consequently, gave very little
attention to anything else than the inn
provement of their material condition.
They will hook more closely into Philip
pine matters in 1904 than they did in 1900
and it will not be at all strange if out
of the acts of Congress providing for the
government of the Filipinos they will find
material for strong issues in the next
presidential contest.
The Fiiipinos seem 6ispos eli 10 tso-
cept American rule, but it would not be
surprising If the exactions of Congress
and Republican officials should make them
dissatisfied. There will be issues enough
for the campaign in 1904. The purpose of
the Democratic party should be to get on
the right side of them.

CROP CONDITIONS.

The reports of the condition of the
crops in the South Atlantic States have
been of a rather gloomy character for a
week or more. The long continued rains
have hurt cotton. corn and fruits. Some
of the farmers and merchants were al
most ready to believe there had never
been such long spell of rainy weather.
The indications are now that the bad
weather is over for a time and that the
crops are going to have as much sum
shine as they need. The weather re-
ports show that June thus far has not
been such a remarkably wet month--not
as wet as some Junes have been. Not
quite seven inches of rain have fallen,
and if only the average amount falls
during the remainder of the month there
will not be reason for serious complaint
of the weather.
Almost every year. about this time or
a little earlier, fears are expressed that
the cotton and corn are ruined and the
peach crop is certain to prove a total
failure. No doubt cotton is in a grassy
condition, and that corn is much more
backward than it should be. 1t is true
also that the rains have hurt the peach
crop, but the damage is not nearly as
great as the gloomy reports indicate. A
few days of sunshine will repair the
greater part of the damage that has been
done. Faces that have worn a look of
gloom for two or three weeks will be.
smiling within a week If the weather
continues clear. The peach growers will
come to the conclusion that there are
still a few peaches for market and the
cotton and corn farmers will see that
there is more than one chance for crops
above the average in quantity and quail
ity.
long spell OF rainy weather produces
gloom all along the line. The farmers,
seeing their cotton and corn almost hid
den by grass, jump to the conclusion
that the season will be an unproductive
one. and the merchants noticing the UNI
happy frame of mind of the farmers see
nothing but disaster in the seasons bust
ness. AS a rule, however, these gloomy
forebodings do not rest upon a solid
foundation. When the sunshine comes
they disappear. The ruin that the wealth
er has wrought is found to be much less
than 1t was expected it would be. That
will be the situation this year.

A conductor on the Park Line had an
experience the other day that is quite
certain to cause him many uncomfortable
minutes in the future. says the Omaha
World Herald. His car stopped at
Spruce street to let middle-aged woman
on, and as she took her seat the conduc-
tor gave the motorman two bells and the
car shot ahead. When the conductor en-
tered tn ecar the woman i'm question was
locking out of the window and did not
see mis- outstretched hand.
Fare, please" remarked the conductor
The woman evidently did not hear him.
for she did not turn her head. Neither did
she hold out the necessary coin.
Fare, please!' said the conductor, in
a louder tone.
But the woman paid no heed. Then the
conductor touched her on the shoulder
and in a tone of voice that rang through
the car exclaimed:
Your fare, please, ladyr'
Then the woman turned hastily around
and hooked at the conductor. The knight
Of the bell cord gave one gasp and fed
to the back platform.
The woman was his mother-in-law.

THE VARIOUS INSPECTORS.

The burning of records in the Office of
the Superintendent of the Water Works
while not very serious matter, is likely
to cause citizens to inquire whether all
of the various inspectors employed by the
city are thoroughly competent and faith
full in the discharge of their respective
duties. We know nothing to the con-
trary, but there are occurrences once in
q while which show how important it is
that the various inspections which are re-
quired to be made shall be thorough and
made by competent men.
A few days ago IL was published that
one of the plumbing inspectors had found
certain plumbing that was not UP to con-
tract. The work had been done in con-
Meeting premises with the new house
drainage system. 1t is highly important
quality. II incompetent men are en-
ployed on 1t or poor material is used it
will be the source of constant expense
and trouble. Not only that but the oc-
cupants of houses in which the plumbing
is inferior will be subject to sickness Of
of it--unless the plumbing is Inspected
and examined.
The inspection of all plumbing should
be most. careful and thorough. House
holders should look after this matter. and
II they have reason to suspect that there
are inspectors who ere not attending to
their duties or are incompetent they
should complain at once 40 the proper
authorities The Importance Of having
only first class work on the plumbing
that is now being done in connecting
houses with the new house drainage sys-
tenn cannot be overestimated.

Last week a New York jury failed, upon
a third trial, to reach a verdict in the
Kennedy murder case, and the de-
PENDANT is now out on bail. It
was case that had been so
muddled by expert testimony that two
juries could make neither heads nor tails
of It. The Molineux case is now receiving
the attention of the New York Court OF
Appeals. Ia is another expert-ridden
cause. which has dragged its slow length
through the courts without producing any
thing conclusive Important murder trials
in New York of late years seem to be
hardly more than contests OF experts in
chemistry. handwriting and medico-legal
practice. to the impoverishment OF de-
PENDANTS and their families and the drain
ing of the public treasury of large sums
Of money When the state brings the
high-class expert into a case to testify,
the defendant must have equally high
class expert testimony to offset the
states showing. or he stands little chance
OF his life. The great danger in the en-
ployment Of experts by the state is that
they will be used against poor men. who
cannot poy for counter-expert.

The other day we ventured the asser-
ton that Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima had the courage Of his convictions,
and would not hesitate 20 abandon the
plan for forcing McLaurin out of the
primary, thus affording the opportunity
for the two of them TO fight out their
differences. 1t seems that the Charleston
Post has not so high an opinion OF the
fighting blood OF the senior Senator. II
says: Senator Tillman has never hest
tated to fight when he was sure Of win
ming or had nothing TO lose. but he has
no stomach for hattie when danger
threatens. Therefore he will use every
effort TO keep McLaurin out OF che held
next year" We wonder n our contem-
porary is sure that It is giving an un-
biased opinion.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Press says: 1.-THE
Southern Industrial Convention, held in
this city last week, must have been prof
table and pleasant to the delegates from
the South. If the utterances of the news
papers in that section are an indication.
They one and all express the belief that
the addresses and discussion will awaken
renewed interest In the resources Of the
South and will result in profit both to
that section and 40 Philadelphia. The Sa-
vannah News in commenting on the con-
vention says that the Philadelphia news
papers made up for whatever interest
there was lacking among the Philadelphia
merchants. The hospitality extended to
the delegates was another factor in the
success of the convention and in sending
the delegates home with a favorable i'm
preston The best outcome of the meet
ing. however, will not be an increase OF
trade. but a better understanding and a
better feeling between the people North
and South"
