A VERY POOR ISSUE.
Question for Consideration in
the Campaign of 1904.

Editor Watterson wired his paper
from Washington that the plan of deal.
ing with the Philippines reported by
the democrats of the senate commit
tee undoubtedly lays down the line
on which the democratic party will
stand and fight the next presidential
battle" That is as the journal pre-
dicted. "Here or hereabouts," says
Mr.. Watterson, ''we have the para
mount issue for 1901" This view, how
ever, is subject to the important reser-
walton suggested by the journal that
the democrats may be compelled by
force of circumstances to abandon the
plan before 1904. 1t is the misfortune
of democratic craftsmanship that it
has no capacity for original action. Be-
ing built to float with the tide, it is apt.
to be left high and dry when the tide
goes out. 1t never sails the high seas
and makes from port to port, as re-
publican craftsmanship does. In 1864,
when the democrats declared in their
national platform that the war for the
union was failure and demanded the
immediate cessation of hostilities, they
did not anticipate that decisive union
victories would render their declara-
ton obsolete and absurd before the
election. The chances are a hundred
to one that before the democratic ma
tional convention meets in 1904 the
Philippine problem will have been so
far solved by republican statesman
ship and the Filipinos will have be-

DEFEAT OF SENATOR JONES.
Political Downfall of the Chairman
of the Democratic National
Committee.

Some facts originally presented by
the Globe-Democrat have led to the de-
feat in his own state of Senator James
X. Jones, of Arkansas. Mr.. Jones has
been condemned in a general primary
of democratic voters in the state, ma
jority having been given his COMPETE
tor, eN-Gov. James p. Clarke. Senator
Jones political downfall is the more
notable because he is the chairman of
the democratic national committee
and held this position throughout the
two Bryan campaigns. But opposition
to Bryan, OF lurch toward the reor-
ganization of the democratic party, is
not the cause of the reputation of
Jones in Arkansas. He played false
on the trust question. While he was a
director and stakeholder in the round
cotton bale monopolistic company he
was among the foremost in denouncing
the trust system. The Globe-Demo-
crat gave the plain facts in the case.
Senator Jones denied them and re-
sorted to abuse of this paper as the
trump card of his campaign for an
other term as senator. But the demo-
Gratis of Arkansas examined the
charges, perceived their truth and the
double dealing of Jones, and have ac-
cordingly retired him as public serv-
ant, states the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
No democratic platform in any
state has been more radically opposed
to trusts than those adopted in Ar

come so quiet, contented and happy I'M
der the American flag that democrats
themselves will be glad to have it for
gotten that they ever proposed that
the United States should relinquish
its sovereignty and remit the islands
to condition of anarchy. The trou-
pie with the democratic party is that it

crees of Providence. 1t it would stand

With the unstatesmanlike and fan
tastic democratic plan of dealing with
the Philippines plan that assumes
the inability of the United States to
carry through work to which it has
put its hand and that implies the SUI
periority of Filipino to American meth
ods-with this abortive, essay at con-
structive craftsmanship compare the
republican plan of suppressing insur-
rection, asserting American sover-
eighty. extending civil government, es-
tablishing schools and familiarizing
the people with the blessings of consti-
tutional liberty. All of the best peo-
pie in the islands are now in full sym
pathy with the United States, and
there is reason to believe that long be-
fore the democratic convention meets
in 1904 the last vestige of the insur-
rection will have disappeared. BY that
time the American people would as
soon think of giving up Alaska or Ha-
wall as the Philippines, and what Mr..
Watterson now thinks paramountis is
sue will be recalled only to be
laughed at.

! kansas, with the full cooperation of
Jones. AT the same time, Jones was
one of the round cotton bale combina-
ton, composed of consolidation of
business interests, with many plants
throughout the south, and so conduct
ed that competition in its particular
| line is driven to the wall. Jones has
| been trying to make the democrats
| believe that his particular trust is an
innocent business expansion, and that,
| if Objectionable, it ought to be par
| doned because the Globe-Democrat eX-
posed it. The democrats of Arkansas
do not see it in that light. They con-
| denim a senator who runs with the
hounds and holds with the hares. State
pride must have secured some votes
| for Jones as the chairman of the dem
| ocratic national committee, but his du-
! plicity in regard to trusts is the rock
that wrecked him.
| Crooked politicians often raise hue
| and cry against the agencies by which
the truth about them is made known,
but the people are not the plaything
they imagine. Partisan bigotry is not,
as Jones supposed, so strong in Ar
kansas that the people will condone
double dealing. This form of political
hypocrisy is worked to the limit by
leading democrats in Missouri. They
try to meet damaging fact by cpl
thets bestowed upon the Globe-Demo-
crat for printing it. Democratic or
ators in Missouri wait for round of
applause when they denounce the jour
nal that has laid bare their record of
government by the ring for the ring.
They may get the superficial approval
expected, but the silent verdict at the
ballot box will be different, as Jones
has discovered in Arkansas. The truth
will prevail. Jones felt so secure in
the assumed blind partisanship of his
party in his own state that he thought
he could safely go into the trusts

uyA few days ago "Bryan dollar
dinner was given at Chattanooga,
Tenn, and Congressman Gaines, of
that state, sent to his constituents
this sentiment: "Our peerless leader,
who has done nothing to forfeit our
love except to die for us, crucified on a
cross of gold" The same day Mr..
Bryan moved into $1,000 brick barn
which he had built ON his Nebraska
farm, seeking temporary shelter while
his $4,000 house was being completed.

Bracket and Malone are charged
with having acted as --look-outs" for

amount stolen, but he says he gave
the money to prevent a friend from

breakers resulted in verdict of
guilty He was released on $4,000 bail
pending an application for a new trial.
There will undoubtedly be addi

indictments Will be based upon evil
dence given before the grand jury
by Chris Norbeck- Others who are
known to be corrupt may not be in
dicted, as there is a feeling among
some of the grand jurors that the in
vestigation has been pursued far
enough thoroughly to expose and rem
edy police corruption and that furth-
er indictments will simply make more
expense for the county
There is some controversy to the
penalty incurred by Detective King
His attorney, Victor WEIGH, said that
yet he had not had opportunity to
inquire deeply into the question of
penalty, with regard to which the
statutes appear to differ
Mr.. WEIGH is of the opinion that
the proper penalty for his clients
offense is a Jail sentence not to ex-
coed year The state holds, on the
other hand, that the old law prescrib-
ing such a penalty was superseded
by the penal code enacted in 1886,
which fixes the maximum penalty at
five years in the state penitentiary.
1T may be- he said. that will
have no motion to make at that time
The inference from this remark was
that if the courts uphold the old law,
which provides only for jail sen
tence, his client will be content to
serve the short jail term rather than

tenn in vogue permeated the whole
city and that the officials were deriv-
ing a very large income from the as

ner- There was regular schedule of
dues established, graduated accord
ing to the business the several es-
adjustments conducted, and the dues
were collected regularly by agents in
the city's employ The matter was
brought before the grand jury and
resulted in the indictment of Mayor

lice, several detectives and police
captains All were charged with NAL

Indictment against him sKas par
ticularly strong and sweeping and the
attorneys for the state had little
trouble in securing his conviction. He
was proved guilty of many specific
acts in which he had shown favorit-
ism for a substantial monetary con-
sideration, and the jury was but
short time in finding him guilty. The
customary motion for new trial was
made, pending the decision Of which
bail was furnished Gardner how

days. His whereabouts are unknown
to the authorities, but when last seen
he was headed southwark, and many
believe he has found refuge in
