Our esteemed cotemporary is
drifting into the realm of the i'm
possible. Its editor puerilely re-
marks that he would not exchange
places with the Ledger man. What
a profound declaration He might
have extended his non-exchange
business to the third heaven. 1t
would have been just as sensible. He
is perfectly safe in his assertion. He
will never be invited to change
places with the editor of the Ledger
nor any one else. We cannot re-
turn the compliment, for the reason
that we do not care to indulge in
absurdities

Catherine de, Medici.

Catherine de- Medici Of France was
a tall, dignilied woman of striking per-
sonal appearance. Her manner was of
ten cold and repulsive, her Language
naughty. She was never popular
well liked. Her features were regular
and the chier merit Of her countenance
was full black eye that seemed to
fascinate those on whom she looked.

HELP YOUR OWN TOWN.

Although Jackson for its size will
compare favorably with any town in
the state in the volume of business
transacted, still it is fact that con-
siderable trade is. sent outside,
which by right belongs to the trades
men of the town. 1t is a good motto
to buy what you need in the town
where you are making your living.
1t is doubtful economy, and certain
ly poor policy, to send away for
goods that may be had of local mer-
chants. Even if there be a slight
difference in cost, that is a poor ex-
cuse for supporting outsiders in pre-
ference to home business houses.
The trade that goes out is that most
desired-the spot cash custom.
There is no question that in the ag-
gregate this apounts to more than
is done by any single merchant in
town. If you want jackson to grow,
the surest way to promote its growth
is to increase its business. The
more business that is done, the more
men will be required to do it. And
increased population means in
crease OF business. You cannot build
up a town by imposing additional
governmental burdens upon the peo-
pie. No town has ever been per-
benefited by trying to
overreach itself Jackson wants
many things. Some things it can
not and ought not to have at pres
ent. Other things it ought to have
and might have if the citizens would
get together for that purpose. But
what is really more important for
its prosperity than anything else, is
for each resident to spend his money
here for whatever he needs. Prop
erty values rise and fall with bust
ness prosperity or depression. The
man who owns his own home, will
benefit himself by trading exclusive
ly with local dealers. By so doing,
he is doing what he can to appreci-
ate the value of his property. The
property holder who acts otherwise
is trying, unwittingly perhaps to
depreciate his property. The idea
that one can get better value for his
money by trading at a distance is
exploded. Jacksons storekeepers
and business men generally, are
working on as narrow margins of
profit as anywhere, when transpor-
tation charges are taken into ac-
count. If Jackson had all the trade
it is justly entitled to, its popula-
tion would be materially increased.
1t is the duty of every man to con-
slider his home town first. With the
advent of the new year let everyon e
resolve to send no business away
that can be done at home. That is
the greatest service you can render
the town. 1t will inaugurate a
boom, and perpetuate lively times.
Buy not only of your local grocer
and dry goods merchant, but of your
baker and tailor. Being the largest
town in Amador county, it is un-
reasonable to think that a resident
of Jackson can do better by sending
his orders to any other town. Let
US quit finding fault with our sur
roundings. That is not the road to
Improvement. AS rule, a town
improves just as fast as business con-
ditions will warrant. Jackson has
done this, all intimations to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. 1t is libel
to insinuate that our thriving town
has been laggard in the march of
progress. Its progress would have
been more marked, if some had not
expended all their energies in talk.

request of the State Department. the Ital-
ian authorities have Professionally detained
Clara Taylor and the kidnapped child, Mar
garet Taylor, at Broderigha, the town in
Italy where they were located by Ambassa-
dor Choate. a cablegram received at the
State Department to-day from Consul Pear

United States official TO Broderigha. has
identified the woman ana child to the salts
faction OF the Italian authorities, who have
thereupOn taken them in custody await
ing the extradition papers from Ohio. A
cablegram followed from Ambassador

A. V. Taylor, the father of the kidnapped

day, in company with Representative Shat

officials as to the best means of obtaining
possession of his child and to secure neces-

his purpose. He was told that he might
have such help as the department could
give him, but that Ii would be necessary

May Sleep in the Senate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The statehood
bill which passed the House this afternoon
will not be reported out by the Senate COM
mitteee on Territories this session. The
friends of the bill think that it would be
useless to attempt to secure favorable con-
sideration of the bill at present. They
think, however, that, should Oklahoma and
New Mexico send Republican delegates to
the House next fall. the political argument
will be removed and there will be a chance
to secure the passage of a bill for the adj
mission of the three Territories during the
short session.

OBSTRUCTION IN THE SENATE.
Democra Propose to Talk Indefinite
l. on the Philippine Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-An effort was
made in the Senate to fix a time for a vote
for the pending Philippine bill, but it was
unsuccessful. The minority said many
senator's still desired to speak on the meas
ure and it would not be proper TO deter
mine at this time upon a vote. To-day's
debate on the Philippine bill was mild. Mr..
Teller occupied considerable time in oppo-
sition to the measure. He contended prin-
cipally that the Filipinos were capable of
self-government and of establishing a gov
eminent quite equal to some European gov
ernmentS.
Some debate occurred over the resolution
to discharge the committee on privileges
and elections from further consideration of
the proposed constitutional amendment pro-
Viding for the election of senator's by the
people. Finally the resolution was with
drawn, assurance being given that a report
from the committee soon would be made.
A joint resolution was passed 10 permit
steam railroads in the District Of Columbia
to occupy temporarily parts of streets for
the benefit of the travelling public during
the National Encampment of the G.. a. r.
in October.
The resolution recently offered by Mr..
CulbersOn, of Texas, calling upon the secre-
tary of war for certain as to
General Smiths order i'm the Philippines
was called up and at the suggestion of Mr..
Culberson was indefinitely postponed.
Speaking 10 a question OF privilege Mr..
Carmack, of Tennessee, referred 10 the
passage of words which had occurred yes
terday between himself and Mr.. DOlliver.
He had withdrawn the expression he had
employed. but he said: 4 feel that l ought.
in view of what occurred yesterday, having
used language unjust 10 the senator from
Iowa, offer my apologies TO him. Our per
sOnal relations are most cordial. and |
would not use language 10 him that would
be offensive 10 him." He added that under
an honest and genuine sense OF outrage he
had employed some language i'm charac-
terizing the acts in the Philippines which.
perhaps. he ought not 10 have used. What
ever might be his personal opinion OF Cen
erals Bell and Smith, il was not proper to
employ harsh and offensive epithets. He
withdrew those epithets. and said in the
future he would refrain from employing
such language.
Mr.. Dolliver said he had been drawn into
the debate quite incidentally. and had not
intended 10 reflect upon Mr.. Carmack
Whatever he had said he had said i'm an
EFFORT 10 lend a little gayety TO the debate,
and not with any intention 10 reflect upou
Mr.. Carmack. If he had wounded the SEN
sibilities of Mr.. Carmack he regretted il.
Mr.. Lodge, In charge OF the Philippine
bill. then asked unanimous consent that a
vote be taken on May Fl at 4 o'clock. Mr.
Dubois objected. Mr.. Lodge suggested thai

The expectation that the Mexican au-

tive ex-councilman from st. Louis, as a
matter of International comfy is not likely
to be realized. Kratz has been located at a
town in the interior and is Swallowed by st.
Louis detectives, but the Mexican Foreign
Office has given instructions for his protec-
ton by the local police and for the arrest
of the detectives if they modest him. AS
our extradition treaty with Mexico does not
cover the crime of municipal bribery, the
Mexican government is acting within it's
legal rights, but its action is not neigh
borly.
