DEMOCRATS AUNT.
Carmack Thinks Republicans Favor
Democratic Policy.

Senator Carmack, in speaking at
Washington yesterday of the Damo-
cratic Philippine substitute to the
Republican Philippine tariff bill,
said:
"The Democrats Of the senate are
practically unanimous on the Philip
pine question. We did not lose a
vote on the Democratic side when
our substitute to the Philippine
tariff bill was offered. The present
substitute is practically the same as
the other, made a little more definite
and changed in certain particulars.
The Democratic party in the senate
D ractically is unit in opposition to
the retention of the Philippines and
there are more Republicans in both
houses who rarely are in sympathy
with our views. The difference be-
tween the senate and house Philip
pine substitutes is not in all materi-
al, as both agree on the vital and
ess ential point of withdrawing from
the Philippines and giving them in
dependence. l, of course, think our
senate substitute is the better ot
the two, but if we were in a con-
dltion to pass The bill we would haye
no difficulty in reaching as agree
ment after conference.

that year, he made trip to Little
Rock on horseback, taking q large
sum of money with him from the
land Office at Batesville to Little
Rock, wearing his coon skin cap and
coat and taking along his long range,
flint lock rifle. At that time there
only three houses between Batesville
and Little Rock.
Uncle Billy is hale and hearty,
possessing his faculties and doing all
of his work about the place, such as
gardening, cutting wood and attend"

The negro Lane, of Philadelphia, /,
who killed his employer and her
daughter and wounded another
daughter, is the son of New Jer$ey
preacher and seems to be toleraply
well educated. He first stole 5the
woman's money and when he IFas
about to be discovered he mard&ed
the family, robbed the house and
fed. No doubt he was looked upon
as martyr by the longrange S. Em-
pathizers of the negro in the South,
who will refuses to believe that he
has been guilty Of wrong cling.
Even superficial glance at the
story as printed will suggest $ome
curious ideas in connection with the
case. Nevertheless the murta aerer
has been apprehended and he | will
