Democrats and Philippines.

Il do not believe" said Hon. Don u.
Dickinson, Of Michigan, at the Arlington,
that the American people can be in
| duced to approve of the attacks made by
the Democrats in Congress upon our army
in the Philippines. No political capital
can be made by such policy.
"It is well to remember that our troops
are in the Philippines by virtue of Demo-
cratic votes, and that It was Mr.. Bryan
who so warmly advocated the ratification
of the treaty of Paris. Now then, it i'll
becomes Democrats TO asperse American
soldiers, even if they have retaliated en-
savage foe. To avenge the horrible fate
of comrade whom those barbarous na-
tives roasted to death was but natural.
There are other things on which they
may join issues with the Republicans. but
in this matter they can never hope to
gain the approval of the voters OF our
country. AS long as our boys are being
fired upon, so long will the people support
and encourage the men who uphold the
flag"

Nj. OteY's Last Speech.

In the Congressional Record on Tues
day is printed the last speech OF the late
Representative Peter J. Otcy, who died
on Monday, at his home in Lynchburg.
II is the first instance within the memory
of the editors of the Record" that n
speech has been printed in that daily
after the member delivering it died.
As a matter of fact, however, Mr.
otey's speech was not delivered on the
floor. While the agricultural appropria-
ton bill was under consideration, April
%. Mr.. Otey secured leave TO print his
remarks upon the subject OF good roads.
Some time previous he introduced a bill
in the House providing for large ap-
preparation for this kind OF internal i'm
provements. He had intended to deliver
an address upon the subject in the House
but was not feeling well when he secured
recognition, and in consequence asked
leave 10 print his remarks in the Rec
ord which was accorded.
He submitted the copy last week, be-
fore going to Lyhchburg but as there
were several others ahead, it was not
printed until Tuesday.

Apple Blossom.
By Lindsey Flavcl Mines.

Apple blossom, sent to me,
From well-remembered tree,
Fragrant with the memory
of the wondrous long ago,
hpple-blossom, dost thou know
Whose the lips that hallowcd thine
Ere | pressed thee close to mine?
Blossom. surely thou hast known
All the music of her tone,
And hast felt the tenderness
OF her delicate carcss,
Sharing for little while
More than springtidc in her smile.
Thou hast fingered for space
In the sanctity of grace
That about her everywhere
Hangeth holy as the air
OF an olden place of prayer.
When shelHssed and bade thee e,
Did thy pinkness rosy grow
From secret whispered low
That thou never shouldst betray?
Spoke she aiIght of promise, say?
Dainty first3ing child of spring,
Apple-blossom. thou dost bring,
Crushed and dying though thou art
With thy petals all apart
Coming from the far away,
Perfume Of another May
And the double task is thine
Past and present to entwine.
Daughter of The orchard bough,
Ending mp. the then and now,
Presaging the future, too
Not with shadows of "A clew,
But with promise that is true.
Like the olive sprig of old
And the rainbow thou must hold
Prcsage that the years to he
Something more than memory
Of old sweetness shall contain,
Or thy blossoming is vain.

Pennsylvania Democratic Outlook.

THE Democrats Of Pennsylvania are
now engaged in the preliminary work of
the campaign said Representative Henry
d. Green, of the Ninth Congressional
district of the keystone State, ''and there
is every indication of Democratic VIC
tory this fall Mr.. Green returned from
Pennsylvania yesterday, where he has
been for several days in conference with
the State leaders of his party. Just whom
we will nominate for governor" said Mr..
Green, mo one can tell at this time. We
are doing some splendid preliminary work
before the meeting Of the convention, SO
that when the time arrives all party DIFF
ferences will be buried and we will be
able to present solid front to the enemy
We will make gains in the Congressional
elections this fall. In the next House we
will have five sure, and possibly eight
Democrats from Pennsylvania, instead OF
only three, as in the present Congress-

A Reminder of Old Times.

| a RenlnueI VI OIu iihiSS'
Senator Elkins came across reminder
that he was once not so prosperous as he
ie now in a curious way the other day
1t was in the shape of yellow old copy
Of the Daily New Mexican" OF Santa re
bearing the date Of December l, 1868. "
was sent TO him as an exhibit by LADY
who wished to have private pension bill
nassed. She is a resident Of New Mexico
and the paper contained a notice OF her
marriage TO the soldier whose widow she
now is.
But in looking through the papers, SEN
ator Elkins discovered something else. He
was resident Of Sante Fe himself In the
old days just after the war, and he was
not at that time millionaire by any
means.
The paper contained his advertisement
as lawyer. his announcement being that
he practiced in all the courts of the Ter
ritory. He also stated that he resided
and had his office in one and the same
building. a convenience for his clients un-
doubtedly. but quite as clearly an evi-
dence that fortune had not yet smiled on
him very broadly.

The Sacred Tie.
by Lindsay S. Perkins.


Where the pink azalcas bloom
Down the del1s of Maryland;
Where the dogwoods in the gloom
Glow like lamps in fairyland,

Stood and watched in silence blest

When the corn grew bOsOm-high
On the slopes of Chevy Chase,
We were parted, you and +
Death had veiled your darling
face!
NevermOre you stand and wait
For my coming home to you
BY the honeysuckle gate,
In the falling of the dew.
When you left me. precious mate,
Why was ! not taken, too!

IF there be no marriage tie
In that heaven where you have
gone,
And as strangers you and 1
Worship singly at the throne,
I shall pray that there may be
Still better heaven beyond,
Where you yet may wait for me,
Till / come to seal our bond.
Thus my heart grows light and

With faith secure and fond
Healed is my woe.

Sugar Beet Raisers.

''The beet sugar people Of Michigan
would far rather see the proposed reduc-
tion on Cuban imports. than to have the
differential on refined sugar taken away.
said MIR. John C. Shaw. prominent law
yer of Detroit. at the Raleigh.
"Our factories refine their own product.
and the removal of the differential would
be serious matter. There is no great
alarm felt that such will be the outcome
Of the matter. The reports that conces-
sions to Cuba will cause Michigan Repub-
licans to forsake their party allegiance are
wholly without foundation. Our Republic
cans will stay loyal. for they know that
the protective policy is not going to be
abandoned.

AND FORCE COMBINED
NECESSARY TO CIVILIZATION
BY Senator MARCUS A. HANNA, of Ohio.

Education is a most potent factor in the i'm.
provement of society and morals and is just as
necessary for the advancement of civilization,
but it needs the protection Of the other element.
In my opinion the two should go hand in hand.
In the end, however, education would be OF
the greatest benefit, and undoubtedly the most
important factor. in the advancement Of u higher
civilization and morals

All Want q Slice.

Brooklyn Citizen-The rumor that Rus
sia and Austria are preparing 10 divide
UP Turkey between themselves might be
believed If the rest OF Europe need not be
considered. Turkey bas a separate exist

Christian nations has insisted on share
and leg ard a wing and piece Of the
breast il what they meant by that.
The Washington times., 1902-05-08

As to which is the most important factor in
civilization, education force, l should say
that one is as important as the other in several
functions. What is generally termed as force is
police and military protection for the prcserva
ton of peace and the protection of property,
which is one of the first essentials of any gov
ernment.

0leo Bill Unpopular.

City, at the New Willard.
This bill is about as vicious q piece
OF class legislation as ever was enacted.
Its aim is nothing more nor less than
the complete destruction of a legitimate

tha. sooner or later il will be declared

MASSACHUSETTS CONVENTION.
Secretary Has Not Been Offered the
Craftsmanship.

Secretary Moody has heard nothing con-
corning the report from Boston that he has
been suggested as the proper person to pre-
side over the declarations of the Massachu-
sets state convention. The suggestion of
his name is represented to have come from
State Chairman Goeting, who offered 1t as
the best means of settling the existing con-
troversy over the position. Secretary
Moody does not care even to- discuss the
report. as that would place him in the posi-
ton of defining his attitude toward an
honor that he has not sought and one
which he has yet no reason to believe
is to be rendered to him.
He says there is abundant material for
a presiding officer In the two names now
before the committee. The Craftsmanship
of a state convention In Massachusetts is
of much more Importance in that state
than In many others. as the presiding Off
Ger is always expected to make a set
speech, outlining the issues and striking
the keynote of the campaign. In 1900 Sec
rotary Moody performed this important
task. The state committee is to meet to-
morrow, when it is expected to decide this
matter. The convention will not be held
until the latter part of September.
