TOO SARCASTIC

Editor News:
Please allow me space to say a
few words ia reply to a communi,
cation published in last weeks is,
sue, signed jackson Democrat"
In the first place | wish to say
that | believe the article is little
too sarcastic to be altogether whole
some for the writer. Again l can't
see how q man can be true, loyal
democrat aud never support the
ticket. We see by the statement
of facts contained in the article
that the writer has ever been a
warm advocate of democratic prine
ciples, but some how or other be
has always managed to vote the in~
terest Of the democratic party
The democratic party is toAday
what she has ever been, an advo
cate Of the principles contained in
our Constitution Of the United
States and Declaration OF the In
dependence. True there are some
differences of opinion among us on
the money question, but when the
democratic party takes up a man
and says he is the man to make
the race for any particular office,
and when she lays down a plat~
form and says this is the maxim
of democracy, then ii only re
mains for every true. loyal demo.
crat to lay d own personal ideas and
beliefs and rally under the banner
Of the democratic party. ! think
there would be no use OF cayaling
over the money question at the
present time. We cannot do any.
thing with it now, and whatever
policy the next National Conven
tion adopts that is what the party
will stand by. i cannot see any
need of the division that now ex
lists among us. Judge Estill has
withdrawn from the race for Su,
preme Judge and there is no use
to continue probing the old sore
! about bolhng. If Jackson Demo-
crat is for harmony | think he
could best show it by keeping si-
lent on questions that are sure to
widen the division that now exists
between rs. Least said, soonest
mended. SO we could best mend
our wounds by saving nothing
about them.

Congress Consists of the Senate

From the Chicago Record.
 A programme is reported for the House of Representatives which calls attention anew to the growing disposition of that body to shirk it's legislative responsibili- ties. It is said that in order to avoid a discussion of reciprocity a rule will be adopted if possible. forbidding amend ments to the war revenue act. That meas ure will then be voted on as 1t stands, and the congressman who voted for 1t will be in a position to claim credit with the interests that are directly affected by war taxes.
 Having gained so much they will pass ate, which is expected to arrange all the honest and effective legislation on this subject and on the subject of reciprocity. It will reduce the war taxes by only 50 per cent and attach to the bill a Cuban reciprocity amendment. The bill would then come back to the House, which would be forced to vote on the new prop ositions, but which would vote on them separately.
 Practically this scheme leaves the in- itiative with the Senate. It amounts to an abdication of it's constitutional func- tions by the House. and is designed to af- ford a lot of Artful Dodgers a chance for explanations the idea being to secure a generous division of political capital. Legislation really rests with a single chamber, though we still retain the form of the bicameral system.

PHILIPPINE EVIDENCE.
General Robert H. Hughes Tells Sen
 ators About the Islands.

Washington February 25.-The Senate committee on the Philippines resumed it's sittings today with Robert H. Hughes as witness. General Hughes went to the islands in August, 1898, and has been there ever since until within the past few weeks. He said that soon after his ar- rival he had been appointed provost mar shal-general of Manila. At that time the insurrection forces were quartered in the city and there was free communication between them and the Americans. When later Aguinaldo was ordered to move out he objected strenuously but went. At first the witness said the people of the city were quite friendly, but by January l. 1899. there was a change in their bear ing. This change he attributed to Aguin- aldo's influence and advice.
 General Hughes then described the con- dition of affairs in Manila which led up to the outbreak of February 4, 1S99 The committee adjourned until 10:3O tomor- row.

JONES TELLS
 FOUR STORIES Has Made Many Contradictory Statements About Murder TRIED ID COMMIT SUICIDE Says Patrick Furnished Him With the Knife, But It Was So Dull He
 Could Not Cut His
 Throat.
TRIED ID COMMIT SUICIDE

New York, February 25.-The direct ex- witness of the prosecution in the trial of Albert T. Patrick, was concluded this afternoon and the witness was tutned over to the defense for cross -examina- ton.
 The recorder ruled out all testimony Jones had given respecting his conversa- tions with Patrick in the presence of his attorney and also with the latter.
 MT. Osborne asked the witness what he said to Patrick before he talked with his lawyer about the murder.
 'I asked Patrick what I should say to the lawyer" Jones said, and Patrick told me l might tell him a murder had been committed, but not to mention his name in connection with it. l told him I would not confess the murder unless I could tell all the facts connected with it.
 "Did you and Patrick ever talk of sui- cide?'
 "We did. I said I would commit sui eide if I had any way to do it. Patrick said he would do the same; that we should both do it together as otherwise the survivor would have to answer alone for the crime. Patrick told me he had A knife and some oxalic acid in his cell. Next day Patrick gave me a small knife.
 Tried to Cut His Throat.
 "About o'clock in the morning took the knife and tried to cut my throat. I found the artery on the right side and cut at it a dozen times. I had considera ble trouble with the knife, it was so oull."
 Jones then showed the wound he had in- ficted on himself to the jury. Jones told of many interviews he had with MT. Os- borne and Captain Baker, after he had de- cided to turn states evidence. This com pleted his examination by MT. Osborne and the witness was turned over to the defense for cross-eXamination. Jones' in reply to Mir Moore, counsel for Patrick, then told of his three years employm ent by MT. Rice. Since May 8, 1901, he said, he has been living at the boarding house. During those eight of nine months he had been out walking almost every day and perhaps two evenings a week. He has had dinner at a restaurant with wine and visited some theatres or other places of amusement
