Monument to Jackson's Mother

A recent visitor to Ansted,
Fayette county, w. Va, writes ::
CAT this little town of Ansted
is the grave of Julia Neal Jackson,
the mother of 'Stonewall' Jack
son. The grave is marked by a
neat monument erected by one of
the members of the 'Stonewall
Brigade, who, for love of his old
commander, remembered the for
gotten resting place of his old
commanders mother. 1t is said
that on the day Mrs. Jackson was
buried, Andrew Jackson passed
through that section on his way
to be inaugurated as president of
the United States. His carriage
met the funeral procession and,
inquiring the name Of the deceased
and finding it the same as his own,
the president turned his horses
and followed to her grave the
mother of the future chieftain of
the southland"

Its hardest workers. A visitor 4, h;a

o'clock the other morning, and asked
him II he wasn't at work unusuallv
early. He replied: "Oh. nc, 20 to

men who made money and then retired
are all dead. Retiring from business
seems to be fatal. The men who live
long are the men who like myself, are
poor"
Charges have been filed with the
civil Service Commission alleging that
money has been habitually used by low
grade employees Of the Pension Bureau
to secure promotion, and the Commits
sion is alleged to bo making a quiet
investigation. Such Investigations are
always quiet, because then if they hap

Three and half million dollars we're
added to the Omnibus Public Build
ings bill by the Senate Committee, and
the bill now carries s2O,041, ,180. The
whole bill is one of most daring log
rolling schemes ever pnt through Con-
gress. Men who are fully cognizant of
the danger of the precedent set by the
bill have allowed themselves to be
silenced by appropriations for build
ings in which they are Interested. It
will not be surprising if some of them
live to regret tsanctioning this measure
Appropriations Of public money should
not be made in this way. The only
right way is for every appropriation
asked of Congress to stand or fall upon
its own merits-an impossibility with
an Omnibus bill.
1t is now regarded az certain tina,
this session of Congress will exteni
we'll into July and possibly into Au
gust. No vote is expected in the Sen.
ate on the Philippine bill before the
trst week in June. Then the Nicara.
qua Canal bill will be taken up, ard
will require anywhere from two to fiys
weeks to be disposed of. After that
the Cuban reciprocity bill will be
brought forward, but thot measure is
surrounded by so many uncertainties
that nobody is attempting yet to guess
how much time it will require. The
Republicans are trying hard to place
the responsibility for prolonging the
session upon the Democrats, but there
is really no reason for such attempts
Whatever responsibility there may bt

FROM THE NATIONS CAPITAL
From Our OlOn Correspondent.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 90, 1902.
The attempt to Morganize the small
national banks of the country made by
the Republicans of the House Commit
tee on Banking and Currency when
they reported the Fowler Currency
bill, which among its many objectiona-
BILE features provides for branch ma
tlonal banks, was virtually killed for
! the present session at conference of
the House Republicans held last week,
although no vote was taken and the
conference adjourned to meet again
next week to consider the same bill.
The death blow was given the bill by
Representative Power, of Maine, who
directed his attack especially upon the
branch bank clause of the bill, Of which
he said: "It will Morganize our ma
tional banks, this plan for branch
banks. The small banks of the coun-
try will either have to liquidate or 60
into branch banking" He told how
the branch banking law Of Canada had
reduced the number of banks in the
entire Dominion of Canada to 85; and
OF how the law worked in the little
Canadian town Of Woodstock Just
acros, the border from his home,
Houlton, Me-, Mr.. Powers said: '.3'here
were two private banks there. When
the law for branch banks was enacted
In Canada these two banks were alb
sorbed by the great banks in Montreal
and the interest rate, instead of de-
creasing, went up" The Republican
bosses may try to pnt this bill through
at the next session, but it has been
made plain to them that it will be too
dangerous to try to do so before the
Congressional elections.
The old but usually successful. plan
of using patronage to buy off opposi-
ton to administration measures is be-
ing used by MIR. Roosevelt on the Re-
publican members Of the House who
aided the Democrats to overthrow tho
bosses and add the amendment repeal
ing the differential duty on refined
sugar to the Cuban reciprocity bill.
The Sugar Trust has ordered that
amendment killed, because it would
decrease its profits about $4,000, 900 a
year The Republican bosses in the
Senate have told Dir. Roosevelt that
they can kill it in the Senate, and he is
now trying to secure the Republican
votes needed to get the House to agree
to the bill as it will be passed by the
Senate. There is come very desirable
Federal patronage that is now or coon
will be available, and this Mr.. Roose-
velt is offering to give the Republican
kickers Of the House to reverse them
selves and vote as the Sugar Trust
wishes them to vote. If Mr.. Roosevelt
succeeds in this dicker, as now seems
probable, the kickers may find them
selves called to account by their con-
stituents. This isn't good year for
Congressional wobbling.
1t is difficult to shake off the bossine
habit. After President Palma had
been duly inaugurated President of the
supposedly independent Cuban repub-
lie, Secretary Root ordered him by
cable, not to receive the credentials of
the British Minister to Cuba, who was
in Havana, until after the U. S. Minis
ter, who was detained in Washington
by the delay of the Senate in confirm
ing his nomination, had delivered his.
The minister whose credentials are first

Resolved. by the Democracy of South
Carolina i'll convention assembled. that
we re- affirm and endorse the platform
of principles enunciated by tho State
Democratic Convention of 1900. with
especial stress upon the following Sec
tions:
"That we Wow with alarm the power
which the trusts, through tho Republi-
can party, are exercising over legisla-
ton and national politics and their
ability to control the price of the ne
cessities of life without regard to the
law of supply and demand. We con-
denim the hypocritical attitude of the
Republican leaders who abuse trusts
and combines, while they uso the
money obtained from them and extort-
ed from the people to debauch the ig-
norant voters of the country.
"That we re-affirm and endorse the
correlated sections of the Kansas City
platform upon the subject of trusts and
imperialism
The convention decided to provide
for two series of campaign meetings,
one to include candidates for State
offices, the other for candidates TO,
federal offices. Senator Tillman. who
had it all his way, spoke upon national
issues.
