Senator Jones, of Arkansas, has
given out an interview in which he
outlines what he believes will be the
issues of the next Congress and their
bearing on the next election. He
thinks that the chief issue will be the
Philippine question, which he says
the Supreme Court has by no means
settled. 1.-The Supreme Court" he
said, simply declared that Congress
Will have to deal with the Philip
pines. AS soon as Congress meets it
must take mp the whole problem, and
therein will be the opening skirmish
of the campaign. Until the Supreme
Court acted, the question was: Does
the Constitution follow the flsg?' The
question now is: Ought the Consti-
tuition to follow the flag? If the re-
publican majority in Congress, which
will be responsible for all that is
done, shall by its action declare that
the Constitution ought not to follow
the flag. l think that there will be
a day of reckoning at the polls which
will surprise the republican leaders.
/ cannot assume to speak for the
democratic party, but for myself l
do not believe that we have the right
to hold any people as vassals and
subjects. / believe that any people
coming under the control of the
United States have the protection of
the Constitution and can enjoy all
the rights and privileges which that
document affords. Unless they have
these rights and privileges we have
no right to bring them under our
subsection. l think, therefore, we
ought to give the Filipinos our earn
est, sympathetic and material support
in their effort to establish a govern
ment Of their own, and should then
set them free and stand up for them
against the whole world"

land 1T is fair TO presume it does) to
give every democratic voter an oppor-
tnnity to express his opinion through
his ballot, then let them order pri-
maries In every precinct in the coun-
ty, thereby enabling those not able to
walk, ride or cross rivers, To exercise
that prerogative that belongs to every
American citizen.
Furthermore, il affords the more
reserved or retiring" citizen an cp-
portunity to take part in the selection
of candidates, who otherwise stays
away from conventions for fear of
unseeming conduct.
Ii is, too, conducive to a more
healthy condition of the party, as at
it's action there can be no cavil. and
obstructs the tendency to breed in
dependents. Now, one word as to

The Wheat Crop.

The Government report for Nav
indicated a winter wheat crop of
100000 bushels and a spring
wheat crop of 2lO,0O0,O0O bushels.
If such an harvest is realized, it will
only have been exceeded by the 675,-
100000 bushel in 1898 and the 625,-
100000 crop of 1891. AS they are
already cutting winter wheat ink an
sss and the entire winter wheat har-
vest will be over in fortnight, it Is
clear that the good weather since the
date of the Government estimate al
most assures bumper yield of this
grain, at leaet. While the weather
In the winter wheat section has been
ideal for the harvest climatic condi-
tons further north in the spring
wheat territory has been equally BEN
ehcisl for growth. The needed rain
has fallen there in quantity. Corn
is still backward, but the trying sea-
son for this staple will not come un-
til August. The present export de-
mand for sll these grains is heavy
and is likely to continue so, in view
of the ragged crop prospects in Eu-
rope. 1t seems reasonably certain,
too, that cotton will bring an high
price In the coming season and that
there will be as much of it produced
as last year, if not more. There is
every likelihood at present, therefore,
that the American sgriculturist will
not only have plenty to sell this year,
but will get a good price for it; and
the railroads and shops and factories
and every other business and indus
try in the United States will share in
all this wealth and JOY.

1t is worth noting that the flag of
the United States is one of the oldest
of national standards, for its birthday
of June Il, l777, antedstes those of
the other powers-France, 1894;
Spain, 1885; German Empire, 1870;
Italy, 1S4S; Portugal, 1880, and ev-
en- the United Kingdom of Great
Britain, 1901. So though the nation
is young, its banner is senior to those
of older powers.
Mixed marriages-those of whites
aud negroes have increased in New
York city in the past five years. In
1895 there were 72S such marriages,
1863 negroes having married white
women and $50 colored women hav-
ing been married to white men. Last
year there were 1916, in which 900
negro women were married to white
men and 926 negroes married white
women.
Henry Lewis Morris, descendant t
of Governor Morris, a signer of the
Declaration of independence, has
purchased for $4,000 a piece of
property in New York which was
sold by his father in 1852 for S155.
The property is located at One-hun-
dred and Forty-ninth street and
Third Avenue. When the 1852
transfer was made there were only
eight houses between it and the Har-
lem river. Now there are 10000.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that i Catarrh. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease. and giving the patient strength by
building up the Constitution and assisting

'The beef and coal trusts are al
ready putting on the screw. Beef
that in May cost 1929 per hundred
pounds by the carcass is now increas-
ed to $9.40, including freight charge,
which is 400 per hundred. The To-

during a strike or when there were
special conditions to advance prices.
Moreover, there will be no summer

nounced that next month coal will

ton than it costs now. The August
price will be 10c higher than the
price in July"

Delegate d. G. O'Flaherty, member
of the Constitutional Convention
from Warren and Clarke counties, is
being trained by his friends for Con-
gress in the Seventh District in 1892,
says the Winchester News Item.
1t will be remembered that in 1896
Mr.. O'Flaherty ran against Con-
gresham James Hay as a gold dem
ocrat when the latter was seeking re-
nomination. Whether Mr.. O'Fla-
