COMPLICATIONS rather unusual have

which he had been given a life lease
by his father. IL appears that he and
his first wife had not harmonized quite
as symphonically as expected. He had

heard Of his disappearance months lat

cording to those who have figured on
the problem the next census should
make a different showing for the state.
One of the quickest changes of front
on record has been made by a negro
who lived In western county but who
moved to Kansas. He roared at the
railroads. His goods and stock had
been loaded onto a car and when all
was ready for the start one of his
steers broke out and got away. The
trainmen would not stop to load the
brute n again. The poor negro
thought he was being wretchedly
wronged. That made no difference
The train went ahead. Next day a car
arrived for the steer. 1t alone was
taken aboard and the darkey learned

have posted caution after caution, both
to child and parent. There never was
a child that did not yearn to watch the
trains come in and to stand as near to
them as possible while they passed. In
some towns they have occasion to cross
the tracks on their way to school In
the excess Of their curiosity they ex-
tend their hands far enough to touch

RUNNING FROM RESPONSIBILITY

In the debate on the Philippine bill
on Tuesday Mr.. Landis of Indiana sum-
med up in one sentence the democratic
attitude toward the issues which have
grown out OF the war with Spain.
when the war came" said Mr.. Landis,
with its problems. consequences. and
responsibilities, they turned and ran
away and they are running yet" The
democratic party in congress under
the impulse Of patriotism evoked by
the conflict voted with the republicans
for war. and later enough OF them fol-
lowed Mr. Bryan's advice to ratify
the treaty with Spain. Since then they
have refused to consider themselves
bound by I'M Of the responsibilities aris-
ing therefrom and nave looked on the
problems which have grown out Of the
treaty only as opportunities to en-
barrass the party in power.

bondage. but the leader Of the party III

In the temporary tax on Porto Rican
imports for the support Of the Porto
Rican government the democrats In
congress found an evidence not OF eau

abuse the administration on that issue
when the marvellous recuperation Of
the island made further discussion RI

The debate on the Philippine bill
has a~ccentuated the attitude Of the
party leaders. There is On construc-
tive craftsmanship in their policy.
The debate. instead Of covering the
question Of currency, the application
of the bill OF rights to the islands. or
the scope of the suffrage. has dwindled
down to an attack on the army by the
opposition and a defense of 1t by the
republicans. This state of affairs is
almost as Improbable for the majority
a. 1t is for the minority. No question
has arisen on which the minority has
compelled the country to give it a re-
spectful hearing. It has offered no so
luton for the problems which the re-
publicans have solved or are now fac

to disavow responsibility for its
acts and to follow them in running
