bly, not involved at all. The discover
les of gold in quantity necessary to
bring the circulating medium up to
the per capita which the advocates
of silver demanded serves the object
then desired and eliminates the
money question as a practical one
for the present.
The Philippine question will not
be presented the same as in 1900. In
that year the question was whether
we should relinquish the islands be-
cause of the violation of constitu-
tional principles and fundamental
theories of our republican form OF
government The people, by their
decision, seemed inclined to overlook
the violation of tradition and decided
to keep the islands They adopted as
their argument the single theory that
it would be a paying proposition to
violate the constitution. In 1904 the
issue upon the Philippine question
will be the single one, does it pay?
viii not the further keeping of the
Philippines bankrupt the nation and
bring another financial panic to the
republic because of the expense of
armies and the maintenance of new
governments which compensate moth
ing. The democrats will point to the
fact that 1854 100000 has been spent
| according to the report of Secretary
Root. upon the islands, $374,O0O,0 900,
according to the contention of the
! democratic members of the appro-
/ priation committee of the house of
| representatives. That all the com
merce of the islands has been $13,-
! 100000; that assuming this $13 ,000,-
600 during the time in which the
great sum of more than 100000 900
! has been spent goes to the United
States and was all profit, still more
than $450,000,000 is the clear loss
confessed.
THE democrats will ask, What
will it profit a nation to gain the
whole world and lose it's soul?' Or,
What will it avail to have all the
islands and bankrupt the treasury at
home to keep them?'
"The republicans will respond, con-
ceding the figure and admitting the
illustration. They will insist that it
is only for the present that such is
applicable; that the republicans build
for the future. They will point to the
fact that it is only while the islands
are in war and populated with non.
consuming people that such condi
: tions exist and that it is like unto
any other adventure in business in
which losses are entailed at the early

PROPHECIES OF
]. HAM" LEWIS
Political Forecast for Coming Ma
tionaI Battle of the Parties.
SAYS TEDDY WILL LOSE OUT
Roosevelt Will Not Receive the Nom
ination for the Presidency, but
Hanna or Fairbanks Will Be Sc
lected.

Colonel James Hamilton Lewis has
recently given at his home in Seattle,
some political prophecies for the year
1904. Tne forecast made by Mr..
Lewis is too lengthy for a complete
reproduction. but part Of it is given
herewith:
president Roosevelt will not be
nominated for president He will be
a candidate for the nomination and
will be defeated Senator Hanna of
Ohio win be the candidate, and if not
a compromise of his forces with some
of the Roosevelt men will center
upon Senator Fairbanks of Indiana,
or Senator Spooner of Wisconsin.
Should Senator Platt of New York,
incline to Roosevelt rather than have
New York lose the nomination for
the presidency, which she now has
in Roosevelt, there will be an effort
of the New York delegation to agree
upon Secretary of war Root This
will be done by making feint
toward the rendering of Joseph
Choate, now minister to England, as
a candidate. This move will be made
as a rallying point to ascertain the
strength of New York upon a New
York man. 1t will merely result in
the Roosevelt people agreeing on
Root to prevent the Hanna forces
from handing the nomination to q
western man.
I'm the democratic party Mr. Cleve
land Will not be nominated nor viii
Mr.. Whitney, the former secretary o
the navy, nor will ex-senator Davic
B. Hill. The nominee of the demo
cratic convention will be Olney 0

of Pennsylvania; the latter depend
ing upon whether he shall be electet

ernor of Pennsylvania. This will b

is not improbable that by general COZ

man of great wealth, and the owner

The greatest sensation OF the second
trial of Roland B. MolineuX, charged
with the murder of Mrs. Adams, came
late yesterday when Mrs. Hannah

policeman, was called to the stand by
the defense and testified positively that
Molineux was not the man who mailed
the now famous poison package at the
general postoffice on the evening OF
December 20, 1898. Then the witness
partially identified Harry Cornish, who
was asked to stand up in court as the
man she saw standing in front of her
in the line at the postoftice and hold

is MAKING PRESIDENTS.
Charles A. Walsh Booms a Missouri
Man for Highest Office in Land.


Charles A. Walsh, of Ottumwa is
engaged in making democratic presi-
Dental candidates. He is secretary
OF the democratic national committee.
One of the prerogatives OF the Office is
saving timber for the highest office in
the land Mr.. Walsh's latest material
on which to work is William J. Stone,
former governor of Missouri. Incl
dentally Mr.. Walsh by inference, put
David B. Hill, OF New York, out of
the presidential saw mill and threw
him on the slab pile. A Chicago news
paper this morning tells the story this
way:
William j. Stone, former governor
of Missouri and the assured successor
of Senator Vest, may be the choice of
the middle western states for presi-
dent in the next democratic national
convention Several of the most as
tute democratic politicians east or
west of the Mississippi We're in Chi
cago yesterday talking over Governor
stones prospects. The governor, as
he is familiarly called, was also in
town. AS against the increasing sha-
dow being cast by David Bennett Hill
in the Atlantic seaboard states, the
advent OF Stone into the center OF the
state at this time is regarded as most
important.
Charles A. Walsh, secretary of the
democratic national committee and a
resident of Ottumwa, Iowa; Daniel
Campau, of Detroit, Mich, and G. A.
Hoffman, formerly chairman of the
Iowa state central committee of the
democratic party. were engaged in
conference with Mr.. Stone. 1t is sig
lnnificant that the returns from Mis-
souri, on Tuesday brought great cheer
to the heart of each and every one OF
the conferees. They point to Cover.

in the other qualities that make the
popular statesman. He is to be the
next democratic senator from Mis-
souri, rs surely as the sun will rise to-
morrow morning.
The fact that "Gumshoe Bill Stone
had never deserted the party seemed
to be considered a momentous matter
by Messls. Walsh Campau and Hoff-
man. This question was put to Mr..
Walsh:
DO you not think that in the light
of the democratic gains in New York
state David Bennett Hill may be said
to be the logical candidate for the
presidential nomination."
Have No Use For Hill.
Mr.. Walsh flushed bit. clenched
his right hand. started to pound the
table, but didn't, and then said:
MY dear young man. no democrat
who within the last dozen of years
or within the memory of man-has de
serted his party, no matter what the
reason. can be nominated two years
hence as the presidential candidate OF
the party You may put it down as the
solemn gospel truth that the nominee
will be man who always has beer
right He must be man who would
amalgamate and not sunder his party.
Thus went ID. B. Hills chances glim

to be here on business and would no

An Essential Feature.

A commercial association is an es-
sential feature in the growth of any
city and owing to the absence OF such
organization Ottumwa has been handi-
capped for some time. Formerly when
ever an opportunity was found to
bring any industry to this city, it was
necessary to call meeting of the bust
ness men to discuss the situation, and
then it was very seldom that action
was taken until after some other city
had secured the plum. Now, however,
committees will be appointed as soon
as new enterprise is sighted and a
determined effort will be made to cap
ture everything turned loose on the
market.
