Eighty Third Birthday Anniversary.


Alta meeting of the Farmers Grange
in this city on the 3rd inst, it was caus-
ually mentioned that the following
Monday (5th) Mrs. d. w. Jones would
be SO years of age. At once arrange
ments were made by the members
present to make the day memorable to
that worthy lady. And go on Monday
morning members of the Grange and
their families to the number of seventy,
went to the home of Mrs. Jones and
spent the day with her. Of course she
was greatly surprised, as no intimation
of the visit had been given her, but was
nevertheless well pleased and gave them
hearty welcome. The day was pas
sed in social intercourse, sumptous
repast bling served at noon. Before their
departure the visitors presented their
hostess with a handsome and costly
silk hand bag as a reminder of the oc-
casion.
Mrs. Jones, whose maiden name was
Margaret Davis, was born in South
Wales, January s, 1920, and was mar.
ried to the late d. W. Jones on Septem-
Der 9th, 1912, and in the spring OF the
following year they emigrated to this
country locating first in Pennsylvania,
later in Ohio, and in 1854 came to this
county, and located on the tract of land
in this township on which Mrs. Jones
now resides.
Mrs. Jones has ever since the organ
ization of the Jones Will Grange, taken
q deep interest, and has been an active
member in the work of the order, and
still does so. Though past fourscore
years of age her physical health is
good and her mental faculties are I'M
impaired, and that many more years of
health, pleasure and comfort may be
enjoyed by her, is the sincere wish of all
who know her.

Installation Services of Manchester
Post and Corps.

Wednesday evening, January z, Man
chester Corps No. 30 met in joint SEES
sion with the Post, having been invited
to meet them, to install the officers elect
of both orders for 1903.
Quite an appreciatiye audience of in

beautiful addition to the floor work.
Certainly an inspiration to patriotism.
Wednesday proved to be bleak wintry
day with mercury lowering around zero
but most of our members braved the
elements and seemed well repaid tor the
effort, for we were welcomed 80 heartily
and entertained SO royalty by the Post
that the evening passed all too quickly,
and the refreshments that our comrades
prepared for US were good enough for a
king.
The Post and Corps are in harmony
and meet occasionally in joint meetings
where old and young participate in
social enjoyment. We have not been
forgetful of the needs of the dependent
ones in our midst for they have been
made glad by needed relief or soothed

The Death at Rome.

The world today is profoundly moved by
the sad news from Rome. Christians ana
pagans alike are losers by the death of
great man and at the close OF great ana
useful career. In the Christian world de-
nominatiunal lines for the moment have
faded out. III every communion is paid the
sincere tribute of sorrow at the passing of
a towering figure; and the labors of TWEEN
ty-hve years for good and peace in an office
OF extraordinary influence are thus re-
warded.
Leo XII possessed an equipment ad-
mirably suited to tie rCwers he was calico
upon to exercise IN his day and generation.
He had will power but 1t did not smack OF
stubbornu"ss. He had persistency. but II
did not smack of an intoerant aggressive
ness. He had large patience. He had
marked personal charm. Those who were
admitted to his presence departed with
lasting impression of a gracious person
ality. His scholarship was broad. and con-
cerned itself with the lighter as with the
profoundcr forms of thought. His own de-
uverances showed unusual versatility and
finish And thus 1t was that this scholar,
this poet this statesman and executive, was
able with the aid of his varied gifts and
sturdy character to steer safe course
through a long period of many difficulties.
and before laying down his scepter gain
universal respect and admiration. His full
achievement, as we view 1t today. Is one
upon which the historian will dwell with
profit to his readers
And thus has departed the last of quar-
tet of men of commanding genius who ap-
peared In affairs IN the latter half of the
nineteenth century. Lincoln in America.
Bismarck In Germany and Gladstone in
England exhibited leadership of wonderful
potency. and shaped large affairs In a large
way. Although a churChman and occupied
with spiritual matters. Leo XIII had taste
for politics and craftsmanship which more
than once suggested that had he chosen
differently he would have come to as great
renown In the field of statesmanship as he
did In that of the church.
The succession will he an important topic
until the choice is announced. Indeed 50
evidently hopeless has been this final strug-
gle Of Leos will against death that during
the two weeks of his last Illness this sub
Sect Of the succession has been under dis
cusslon both in and outside of church circles
That an Italian will be chosen is altogether
likely The hope in America is. and we'll may
be that he may represent the conservatism
and the culiEhtenment of Leo and pledge
himself to the carrying forward of Leos
policies. Just as Mr.. Roosevelt instantly
commanded support by announcing Gd-
herence To the policies of his predecessor,
who had won So large a measure of public
trust and confidence. 80 Will the new occu-
pant of the chair of st. Peter command
support if his first deliverance shows him
to be a disciple Of the wise and just man
who has gone to his rest.

by changing the amount of the cash pay
ment from $lO.OOO.OOO to $25. 100000. This Is
businesslike indeed. OF course the Colon
bian legislators have a perfect right to do
it, II they should choose and wish to take
tho risk OF losing all. But there Is no as
surance that the United States would &C
cept the amendment proceed with fur
ther dealings. Notwithstanding the ratif-
ca ton of the treaty by the Senate the
President still holds the power to discon-
tinue the negotiations whenever 1t may ap-
pear to him that they are being unduly pro-
longed. He stands instructed to negotiate
with Colombia for the procurement of the
necessary rights and properties, but in the
event that Colombia unreasonably delays
the bargaining or asks an unreasonable
sum he can switch this governments choice
of route from Panama to Nicaragua with
out the formalty of the passage of another
act of Congress
The sum named In the treaty now pend
Ing at Bogota was named after careful
Orsderation of all the factors. 1t Is be-
lieved in this country to be an ample COM
pensation for what Colombia actually loses
apart from the income from the Panama
railroad which is continued in the form OF
ar annual payment of s23o,OOO. What CO.
lombia loses is a theoretical degree or SOW
ereignty without which this country cannot
undertake the construction and main
tenance OF the canal. For it she gets.
beyond the cash payment. the assurance OF
order and good government along the canal
strip and the stabilzing of affairs in that
entire region a consideration alone worth
a very large sum in rebate. She gets the
great privilege of becoming the scene of a
commerce which promises to break all
world records. Her isthmian shores Will
be marked by an activity which. with any
degree OF good administration in the in-
mediate region of the canal strip and an
effective sanitation Of the Colombian cities.
should make of that republic one of the
nest prosperous in central and southern
America.
If Colombia had a corner Of isthm!an
canal routes it's present attitude would be
within comprehension. But unfortunately
for her she has formidable rival. and as
long as that rival is in the field caution and
discretion should be her watchwords.

Mr.. Bryan on Clevelandism.

This from Mr.. Bryan's Chicago picnic
speech is an interesting paragraph:
THE odium which Mr. Cleveland's second
administration brought upon the party
which elected him did more to defeat the
party than any one plank Of the Chicago
platform. even than all the planks that
were most severely criticised. But for the re-
pudiation of the administration 1t would have
been impossible to make any campaign at
all and even the reputation. thorough and
complete as 1T was, could not completely
disinfect the party.
The Chicago platform was undoubtedly
gamblers throw. The Cleveland admins
tration had either to be ndorsed or repu-
diat ted. The game, as usual. was to WIN
What should the party do to be saved?
Could a straight face be kept II the admin
istration indorsed? Indorse what?
The anti-silver legislation of Congress.
against which eight-tenths of the demo-
cratic members of that body had voted?
The tariff legislation, which Mr.. Cleveland
over his signature had characterized as full
of ''perfidy and dishonor?" The terms upon
which Plerpont Morgan had retilled the
treasury till with gold when the democracy
had for years been hoarse from its outcries
against Wall street and it's EleddlingS In
political affairs?
Indorsemfnt was out of the question
Matters stood too plainly revealed. The
great majority of the party leaders had
abused Mr.. Cleveland for his course toward
silver in terms of the utmost severity. The
tariff legislation had either injured or dis
gusted the business interests Of the coun-
try. The transaction with the Morgan syn
dicate had been roundly denounced wher-
ever two or three democrats had gathered
together Business was languishing, and
the highways were full of discontented and
unemployed men. And this was the sum
total of the second Cleveland administra-
ton
Repudia ton was the only alternative.
and as it is never profitable to be half
hearted in such things. reputation was
adopted with a will. That course was nee
essary in order to make campaign at all.
The standard of silver was raised again.
the promise held out that more money
would relieve trade, and a candidate nomi-
mated with a tongue so tireless and elo-
uuent and a personal character clean
and attractive that something to be
expected from that source alone.
The gamblers throw was made, and the
party lost. Success was impossible in the
circumstances. The majority for the other
side was overwhelming. But who shall say
how much larger 1t would have been had
the democracy that year appealed to the
country on a four years record with which
only bitter party dissensiOns and appalling
business losses and depression We're asso-
ciated?
