DEMOCRATIC possibilities or more cor
rectly speaking presidential candidates
have in the past six weeks put in a
spring time prominence that forestalls
all republican predictions that the race
wouldn't fill. In the east and south as
we'll as the west favorite sons are being
brought forward. From now until the
convention at st. Louis in July the
friends OF. Judge Parker, of New York
Senator German of Maryland and Bryan
of Nebraska will be warming up the
campaign. Meanwhile it may be as well
to keep an eye on w. r. Hearst, the New
York newpaperman, now in congress
He is the latest to announce his cand'
dacy, but is able to show good line Of
support. Illinois is in line for Hearst
and his boom is stated as thriving in
several other states.

A HOPELESS CASE.

He was just common sinner,
But he'd buy tramp dinner,
An he'd sort O try to put him on his feet,
An fellow might be needy
An his raiment worn an seedy,
Yet he'd stop an visit with him in the street.
He made no ado about it,
Wouldn't brag around ner shout it,
Yet he did heap to help his fellow men.
When he'd find a fallen brother,
In some easy way or other
He would make him organize himself again,
He had money, an he spent it,
Err he give away er lent it
Seemed ez if the more he lost the more he got
Made all sorts of big donations,
Helped support his poor relations,
An he bought orphan school a house an lot
Never heerd O. him a-shoutin'
Her a-settin' round a-spoutin'
Bout the everlastin' wickedness of things,
But he just went on a-fndin'
Deeds to do an never mindn'
Much about a crown or narp with COLDER
strings.
Yet the dsacons' folks-it's very
Hard to say it-they was merry
When at last deaths came an caught him il
the lurch.
For they knowed the devil got i'm
An it served i'm right, dod rot i'm?
For he never was united with the church.

The year of 1904 will be remarkable
for the small number of eclipses, there
being only two, and both of the sun
This is the minimum number of eclipses
that can occur in any one year, the
maximum number being seven, when
there would be either five solar and two
lunar, or four solar and three lunar
Both of the eclipses of the year are in
visible in the United States. The first
is an annular eclipse and occurs on
March 18th. The second a total eclipse
on September 9th.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Take Down the Tariff Wall That
Stands Between Them and Us.

Take Down the Tariff Wall That
Stands Between Them and Us.
We are taxing the people of the Phil
ippines IS per cent of the Dingley tariff
rates OH their products that are import
ed into the United States. They are
naturally asking us to abolish, or at
least reduce, that exorbitant tax on
their business relations with us. The
United States bought the Philippines
from Spain, and we have undertaken
to govern them for our own benefit. 1t
has proved to be costly experiment
and will probably always remain a tax
upon the American people. But to
raise up tariff wall to prevent their
products from coming here and our
products from reaching them would
seem to be taking an unfair advantage
Of poor, defenseless people. The only
excuse for taking the Philippines and
governing them in the way that impe>
rial governments rule their colonies is
that it will eventually be profitable to
the American people. But even the
financial prospect is not encouraging,
for all of our profits so far would not
pay for the beer that the United States
army in the Philippines consumes. The
only way they ever will be a profitable
investment is to encourage them to
grow tropical products that we need
and SO give them money enough to buy
our products in return. A high tariff
tax at both ends of the route will not
bring that about, yet the protectionists
are opposed to abolishing or even re-
ducing the tariff wall between us.
The representatives in congress of the
protected industries, such as sugar and
tobacco, are denouncing any attempt to
reduce the Philippine tariff AID declare
they will fight it more bitterly than
they fought Cuban reciprocity. The
time must come, however, If we contin-
ne to hold the Philippines, when there
will be free trade between these islands
and the United States. There is no
more reason for tariff wall between
US and the Philippines than there was
for continuing the tariff against Porto
Rico. We have reduced the tariff on
Cuban products, and we do not own
that island. How can we refuse to do
better than that for our own colony?
A few protected interests should not
be allowed to stand in the way Of Civ
ing the American people all the advan-
tages that are possible in return for
their enormous outlay in purchasing
and holding the Philippines, and any
tax on trade is not to our advantage.

IT may yet be necessary to amend the
constitution so as to provide for recruit
ing the ranks of the United States senate
as rapidly as they are depleted by in
dictments. In the daily papers within
the past few days we read of one United
States senator charged with being i'm
plicated in the postal scandals and an
other accused of taking money for his
influence in securing the appointment
of post masters. Both instances certain
ly make sad picture of American poll
tical honesty.

KEEP IN LINE.

Ihere Is any amount OF discussion at
the present time about the future con-
troll of the democratic party. We can
understand the persistence with which
it appears in republican newspapers, for
they have definite purpose to serve.
Anything that can give the appearance
of democratic discord is provender for
them. But democrats should not allow
themselves to be carried off their feet
because of situation that calls at this
time, as far as we can see, for no asperity
of feeling and no recrimination. All
over the country it is heard that Bryan
says this, that or the other, and that
Bryan and his friends are organizing to
control the next democratic national
convention, to write the platform and to
choose the nominee. Well, what of it, if
it is true? Have they not right to do
so? Are they not all democrats, and is it
not the privilege of every member ofthe
party to have views on these important
matters, to express them to others
and to get others to act in har-
mony with him? Who bars out
Bryan? Who questions or denies his
right to direct the party policy and pro-
gramme again if he can do so? To accuse
him because at this time he is outspoken
and active is utterly absurd.
1t is just as absurd to shy bricks at
other democrats for doing the same
thing More serious than that, it is an
offense against democracy to intimate
that the existence of differences of
opinion and of purpose in the democratic
party means factionalism, row and a
bolt. 1t means, mental activity, definite
ness of purpose, directness of hope, and
all that contributes to party life. That
party in which there is but one candi-
date, one boss and one machine is in 4
bad way. We are delighted with the
activity, the interest, the earnestness
and the determination displayed in
democratic circles these days. These
things mean that democrats believe they
can win and are determined to win
The principal counsel that we have tc
give to them everywhere is to keep in
line. Let there be fair fight, free
fight, fight as between good friends
who mean to remain good friends, nc
matter what happens. and then, when
the best man and the best platform have
won as they ought to, let there have
been nothing said or done to prevent
the party from closing up as unit and
carrying both to victory.

IT is now understood the heavy losses
by fire in the larger towns, Fargo fol
instance, has had the effect of boosting
the rates charged by the insurance COM
panies. 1t takes the money out of the
pockets Of the property owner in smaller
towns to help in adjusting LOSSES the
insurance companies sustain in the
cities. If the authorities there would
show the progressive spirit manifested
by smaller towns in securing adequate
fire protection they would find cheaper
insurance, in which the people Of tn
whole state would benefit.
