DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

The democratic senators in caucus
Yesterday decided to stand together
whenever they had two-thirds of their
number willing to abide by caucus de-
cisions. The Senators were addressed
by Senators Blackburn and Dubois on
the necessity of standing together on
party measures and maintaining party
lines on all questions coming before the
Senate. Senator Blackburn's resolution
requiring the party to vote for party
measures was the subject really before
the caucus.
The Panama canal was stumbling
block, many of them desiring to vote for
the treaty, especially the Southern men,
bers, and after long discussion the prop
osition was made that party action
could only follow when two-thirds vote
of the caucus agreed to it.
The result of the caucus yesterday Is
another victory for Senator German,
who does not desire the defeat of the
Panama canal, but wants to hold the
party together on strictly party issues.
He was, therefore, willing to let the
Blackburn resolution go through, know
ing that it would be futile in vital ques-
tions now pending. Mr.. German is not
opposed to the Panama canal, but be
believes that large number of Ameri-
cans doubt the wisdom of the means by
which the new Republic Of Panama was
thrown into existence, and he proposes
in an address shortly to be made to the
Senate to dwell upon the part played by
the administration in creating the new
rannhlic-

In my home oh, husband dear
How for thee my heart is grieying,
How long thy voice to hear.
Dearest husband, yes, we all miss you,

When we are seated at the table
On, that lonely, vacant chair.
He has gone from his dear ones-his children,
his wife
Whom he willingly tOiled for and loved as

To take from us this loved one in the best of
his days.
By His Daughter, MARTHA.
He suffered long and patiently,
But naught could ease his pain;
His means were heard by one above
Who quickly called his name.
No more his dear familiar form
Around our homes we see,
But one consoling thought we have
From pain he is forever free.

ESTHER SPINDLER.

sued this course in order to build up the
political influence which 50 long made
it possible for him to escape the conse-

THE FEAR expressed in these columns
some time since lest the reduction IN
wages started in the New England States
would extend through the country,
seems destined to be fulfilled. In the
cotton mills districts in the former States
the wages of over 100, 900 men were re-
duced on the first of the month. This
was followed on Monday by the an
nouncement that the steel corporation
had made cut in the wages ofits $780,
600 employees, and yesterday the wages
of the coal miners in Maryland were re-
duced As were also those in the Conne'ls-
Vile coke region. These are hard lines
for the men, especially when winter has
Just begun, but it is hoped there will be
no strikes or violence as only harm can
result thereby, end that better times
will soon come so that all who have suf-
fered through the depression in business
may have their pay restored to what 1t
was before the depression came.
