DEMOCRACY AND THE SUPREME
COURT.

The Democratic party made its last
campaign on imperialism. Its
whole contention, the sole ground up
on which it based it's claim for sup
port, was that the Republican party
violated the constitution in acquiring
the Philippines and was continuing to
violate it in its administration of the
affairs of those islands and of Porto
Rico. The constitution follows the
flag, that was the warcry of the Demo-
crazy, and they denounced the policy
of the Administration as despotic and
tyrannical, an un-American attempt
to govern the people without their
consent.
Well, what becomes of all that
deliberately constructed argument, now
that the Supreme Court has spoken?
The question was submitted to the
people first, and they decided against
the Democracy. And now the highest
court in the land has affirmed the YER
dict of the people. The people passed
upon the question from the standpoint
of patriotism: the Supreme Court has
declared that what is patriotism is also
law.
What is poor old Democracy going
TO do about it? When the Supreme
Court has passed upon an issue that
issue is settled. 1t will be as absurd for
the Democracy to try to make another
campaign on the issue of Imperialism
as it would be for the Republicans to
try to make campaign on the issue of
slavery.
1t is almost pathetic to recall the
relation of the Democratic party to
the events Of the past few years. In
1892 it staked everything on tariff and
won, and the experience of the next
four years killed the Democratic side
OF the tariff issue so dead that it was
not mentioned in the next campaign.
In 1896 it staked everything on free
coinage, and the experience of the
next four years left free coinage
as a political ISSUE as dead
as ratification. Last year it made
imperialism the paramount issue, and
now the Supreme Court has over
thrown every legal proposition on
which imperialism rested. 1t is hard
luck story never before equalled in
American political history, and sug-
'gests the query why any American
citizen should ally himself with an
organization which in three national
campaigns has not been able to find
an Issue which was not settled, and
settled against it, before the next
campaign came on,

Cupid's Solar Plexus Blow

With regularity and persistence
worthy Of better cause the married
people of this country are returning
to single blessedness. Some time

Wise for freedom from Ellen G. Wise
Apparently there was a pause to con-
slider for the case was dropped, but
this morning Mr.. Wise returned to the
attack and filed a new suit.
Flora Alexander also has filed suit
for divorce from s ID. Alexander.
The plaintiff alleges that she was mar

1894 and they lived "happily ever af-
forwards" until April 1900, when they
separated She claimes inhdelity,
mentioning Alice Clifton, of Hepler,
as correspondent. She asks for di-

that for over year she has lived in
dependently by her own efforts, and
wishes to be restored to her maiden

street Friday afternoon after a
lingering illness from consumption.
Deceased was born in Allegheny City,
Pa, in 1867 and came to Kansas with

Langley, were at her side when the
end came. The funeral was held

THEY CANE, THEY SAW
Lany0n Zinc Company Officials Viewed
The Country And are IN Chi
cagO Making Decision.

The private car bearing the officials
Of the Lauyon Zinc Company, which
arrived here Friday aud stayed until
Saturday night, bore the gentleman
AZ that time To Chicago where they are
pulling oil the big talkings" relative
to just where they will locate the Zinc
rolling mill and the sulphuric acid
works. Their decision is confidently
expected within few days and it will
certainly be read with interest in this
neck of the vale Of tears.
To guess at the result is OF no use,
the company has not decided for it's
self as yet, and all predictions are
purely speculative That the COM
pany means business right away is
really the essential and important
point in the whole affair. The works
arc to be built and the beginning of
plant will be seen before the summer
sun has ceased blistering the feet of
the small boy. If the plants both
come to lola, nobody is going to kick.
II one comes here aud the other goes
out easteverybudy is going to feel
m, ghtlly pleased. And if both go out
east people wi. good, healthy, philo-
sophical souls are going TO ruminate
that it is "a whole lot better TO have
the plants here in this field than not
have them at all
So lola seems to be living on easy
street with things coming her way.
lola water and light, railroads and
fire protection, will have their influence
and if these do not do the business
what's the use of agitating the atmos-
where either with signs or beseech-
ings!

A MAN who came up from Texas not
long ago brings new story about the
way one of the black belt counties o
that State was carried for the Demo-f
crazy in II recent election. The coun-
ty was so solidly Republican that the
Democrats only kept up periunctory
organization, having no hope what
ever of winning. One night the Re-
publicans held big meeting at which
a large audience of Negroes was adj
dressed by a white spellbinder from
outside the State. In the course o
his remarks the eloquent orator paid
high tribute to the "unconquerable
cohorts of Blank county,. The next
day Democrat remarked casually to
one of the Negro leaders: st was too
bad the way that white fellow
called you-all names last night, wasn't
it?" "Why what did he say? | new
heart him call nobody any bad
names?" "Why didn't you hear him
call all of you unconquerable cohorts
of Blank county? l was really sur
prised to hear him do it and | Won
dered why some of you didn't go in
and haul him off the platform. Why,
the first thing you know he will be
calling your wives and children CO.
horts." And the news of the way they
had been insulted by being called CO.
horts flew from ear to ear, and when
the election returns came in every
candidate on the Republican ticket
was defeated.

TALKED GOOD ROADS.
Highway Commissioner Macdonald
Visits Greenfield Fiji Granee

Highway Commissioner Macdonald
Visits Greenfield Hill Grange.
Greenfield Hill grange, Patrons O
Husbandry, had an especially interest
ing meeting Tuesday evening, the
features of which were addresses by
State Highway Commissioner James
Fl. Macdonald of New Haven, and
several gentlemen from this city. The
subject of the addresses was the good
roads movement, and the visitors
found that the movement could ask
for no firmer or more enthusiastic
friends than it has in the grange.
Mr.. Macdonald's address occupied an
hour 1t covered the history of the
movement since it was fostered by the
state board of trade, in 1894. He told
of the uphill work which was encount-
cred when first the attempt was made
to induce the towns to meet the state
half way, and contrasted those days
with yesterday, when the house of rep
resentatives, by a unanimous vote, APP
propriated $450,000 for good roads.
The address was replete with anec-
dotes, all OF them amusing, and all
having the point that, where at first
there was an almost general reluctance
to make unusual expenditures of town
money for roads. those towns which
had once made any expense, no matter
how small, had not since missed
year in asking for the application OF
the good roads law. OF the l6S towns
in the state only seven have failed to
take advantage of it, and Mr.. Mac
donald hopes to bring them in before
next year. The commercial, social and
sentimental advantages of good roads
were dwelt upon by Mr. Macdonald in
a manner which ELECTED the hearty ap-
plause of his audience.
n AT the close of his address a quar-
tette sang a selection of five verses
which was greeted with expressions of
approval and appreciation. 1t was to
the air of Marching Through Georgia"
and it's burden was the pledge of
eternal devotion to the good roads
cause and to the retention in office of
little Mac"
The Bridgeporters in the party were
Streets Superintendent Merle G.
sCowles, Captain William A. Lewis,
COlOIleI M. II. IAoSelo tAahh w. beoio'
w. T. Ferguson and Erastus B. Ander-
son. Each of them talked to the mem
bers of the grange on the question of
the evening. Mr. Cowles devoted the
major portion of his utterance to
plea for the removal of brush, thistles,
wild carrots and weeds between the
wrought part of the road and the fence
lines. He approved Mr. Macdonald's
suggestion that the highways of the
state are it's show windows, and went
further by suggesting that they are
the show windows of the farms which
they skirt
The visitors were pleasantly enter
tanned after the meeting at the home
of Selectman Simon Pease, whose
guest Mr. Macdonald was.

MRS. SARAH 7. KINNEY.
The State Regent Tells What Connec
fi111t,s Daughters Are Doing.

The State Regent Tells What Connec-
ticut's Daughters Are Doing.
That talented and charming lady,
Mrs Sara T. Kinney, of New Haven,
whom the Daughters of the American
Revolution in this State are proud to
call their Regent, told something last
night Of what the Daughters have ac-
4 complished In Connecticut. 1t was a
4 story that ought to make all the
Daughters proud, and to make all
others honor and respect the Daugh-
ters,. But the next time Mrs. Kinney
delivers an. address upon that topic,
she will no doubt accord a consp1-
cious place to what the Stamford
Daughters have done in the line of
entertainment, novel, delightful, in
structive, patriotic and artistic. And
the eloquent lady could not make her
praise of the Chapter SO high that it
would not meet with the approval of
all the people who crowded into the
Casino last night.
The entertainment opened with
duet by Miss Lucy Marks and Miss
Graves--"I know a bank" from mid
summer Nights Dream" These
ladies were heard several times in the
course of the evening, and always with
pleasure Their duets, and the solos
by Miss Marks, were delightful.
After the opening number came the
address by Mrs. Kinney, who was in
PRODUCED by the local regent. In few
words she told how the d. A. r. was
born and what a proud place in its
continental congress Connecticut holds.
Then she described the work under
taken and carried forward successfully
by the Connecticut chapters individ-
ually and in combination. 1t seems
that many burial-places where rest the
remains of revolutionary heroes were
allowed to become unsightly because of
the thoughtlessness and neglect of
those who should care for them until
the Daughters exerted themselves and 4
made them beautiful. Historic places
have been preserved and marked The
Nathan Hale schoolhouse and other
buildings associated with events in the
revolution or with heroes of that time
have been preserved. Museums have
been established great amount
Of literature relating to the early
history of the nation has been placed in
schools and public libraries. Historic
pictures have been placed in schools
and elsewhere, and the interest of
scholars has been enlisted in the
events of the revolution by the offer Of
prizes for essays on topics selected by
the d. A. r. Incidentally Mrs. Kinney
mentioned two Stamford boys who had |
won such prizes. One of them, Will
Hart. she said, has since fallen into the
habit of prize winning, and captured
one at Yale. Milton Fessenden was also +
mentioned as one for whom more prizes
are waiting The splendid work which |
the Daughters did for the soldiers in |
the Philippines and elsewhere during |
the late war received suitable mention, |
and alone is sufficient to Justify the |
existence of this patriotic organization.
Then followed a series of tableaux Vi |
wants. music and recitations and illus !
tratons of poems, all Of a patriotic |
character.
