Pass me the butter, my dear. Yea,
death comes to all, and my friends

A VERY POOR ISSUE.
ME-. watterson's View of the Matt
Question for Consideration in
the Campaign Of 1904.

Editor Watterson wired his paper
from Washington that the plan of deal
ing with the Philippines reported by
the democrats of the senate commit
tee undoubtedly lays down the line
on which the democratic party will
stand and fight the next presidential
BATTLE" That is as the Journal pre-
dicted. "Here or hereabouts," says
Mr.. Watterson, 1--WE have the para
mount issue for 1904" This view, how
ever, is subject to the important reser-
walton suggested by the Journal that
the democrats may be compelled by
force of circumstances to abandon the
plan before 1904. 1t is the misfortune
of democratic craftsmanship that 1t
has no capacity for original action. Be-
ing tuilt to float with the tide, it is apt
to be left high and dry when the tide
goes out. 1t never sails the high seas
and makes from port to port, as re-
publican craftsmanship does. In 1864,
when the democrats declared in their
national platform that the war for the
union was failure and demanded the
immediate cessation of hostilities, they
did not anticipate that decisive union
victories would render their declara-
tion obsolete and absurd before the
election. The chances are hundred
to one that before the democratic ma
tional convention meets in 1904 the
Philippine problem will have been so
far solved by republican statesman
ship and the Filipinos will have be.

PAPER MILL MEN OUT.
A BIg Strike In the Wisconsin Manu-
featuring District Il In
augurated.

Appleton, Wis, April THE big
strike in the Wisconsin paper manu-
featuring district for shorter hours,
which has been pending for four
months, materialized at six o'clock
Saturday night, when the day crews
at eight paper mills finished their
days labor and the night crews failed
to report for work. The mills where
the strike was inaugurated are two
at Kaukauna, two at Marinette, two
at Grand Rapids, one at Nekoosa and
one at Port Edwards. In all about 500
men struck. The employers express
confidence that the places Of the strik-
ers can be filled by nonunion men.
Besides the eight mills which struck
Saturday night there are six other
mills in Wisconsin where the strike has
been going on for from six to 10 weeks,
so that the strike now affects IA mills.
The number of employees engaged in
the strike is about 1900, one-third Of
whom are girls employed in the finish
ing rooms. OF the men, probably 300
are married and have families, making
the number of persons directly affect
ed by loss of wages in the neighbor-
hood of 1000. The IA mills affected
represent capital Of $3,500.o00 to
s4,00O.ooo The daily output is about
36o tons of paper, of which 265 tons

structive craftsmanship compare the
republican plan of suppressing insur-

eighty, extending civil government, es-
tablishing schools and familiarizing
the people with the blessings of consti-

pie in the islands are now in full SYM
pathy with the United States, and
there is reason to believe that long be-
fore the democratic convention meets
in 1904 the last vestige of the insur-
rection will have disappeared. BY that

cars and the engine were thrown into

had narrow escapes. The passenger
train was running at high speed when
the accident occurred. The injured
were taken to Detroit, where all
are reported as doing well. Burn

DEFEAT OF SENATOR JONES.
Political Downfall of the Chairman
Of the Democratic National
Comm ittee.

Some facts originally presented by
the Globe-Democrat have led to the de-
feat in his own state of Senator James
X. Jones, of Arkansas. Mr.. Jones has
been condemned in general primary
Of democratic voters in the state, a ma
jority having been given his competi-
tor, ex-Gov. James p. Clarke. Senator
Jones' political downfall is the more
notable because he is the chairman Of
the democratic national committee
and held this position throughout the
two Bryan campaigns. But opposition
to Bryan, or lurch toward the reor-
ganization of the democratic party, is
not the cause of the reputation Of
Jones in Arkansas. He played false
on the trust question. While he was a
director and stakeholder in the round
cotton bale monopolistic company he
was among the foremost in denouncing
the trust system. The Globe-Demo-
crat gave the plain facts in the case.
Senator Jones denied them and re-
sorted to abuse Of this>paper as the
trump card of his campaign for an
other term as senator. But the demo-
Gratis of Arkansas examined the
charges, perceived their truth and the
double dealing of Jones, and have ac-
cordingly retired him as public serv-
ant, states the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
No democratic platform in any
state has been more radically opposed
to trusts than those adopted in Ar
