Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1906-01-11

%TTV HE last and most convincing evil
81 dence that we live in an age of
change is the easy defeat of the
Hon. Joseph C. S. Blackburn
for reelection to the United States sen
ate by the Hon. Thomas Fl. Paynter,
judge Of the court of appeals Of Ken
lucky Kentuckians are essentially and
almost universally race Of Hotspurs,
and Joe Blackburn is the typical Hot
spur. He possesses every virtue and
every vice of the average Kentuckian.
For forty years he has been one OF the
most popular men that ever lived in the
state. Neither Henry Clay nor John
]. Crittenden nor John G. Breckin-
ridge had stronger hold on Kentucky
hoi polloi. From the mouth Of the Cum
berland to the mouth of the Big Sandy
he knew nearly every man, woman and
child, and nearly every man, woman
and child knew him and nearly every
blessed one Of them called him Joe.
1t has been said of him, no doubt with
a great deal of truth, that he knew the
name, pedigree and record of every
race horse in Kentucky
He was a gallant soldier OF the Con-
federacy, of course of the cavalry
branch, for no genuine Kentuckian will
ever walk where he can find horse to
ride. On the stump he was as capti-
waiting as Tom Marshall. AS mixer
and handshaker he never had a supe-
rior in Kentucky or any other state.
Thirty years ago he succeeded Beck in
the house of representatives. From
that day to this, with the exception OF
| four years he was in retirement, he has
been in the house or senate. He came
within what the Kentuckians would
call "a Georgetown Craze of beating
Randall for the speakership. He play
ed conspicuous part amid the stormy
scenes Of the Hayes ilden presiden-
tial contest. On that occasion he made
one of the bitterest speeches ever heard
within the walls of the capitol, portions
of which are quoted even to this day
as samples of verbal aqua FORTS. That
he should be defeated at all is remark
able, but that he should be defeated by
d staid and sober jurist of high degree
is more remarkable STILL The chances
are that in primary election, though
backed by the Beckham machine, Judge
Paynter would not have been able to
| poll one vote out of three in a contest
against Blackburn. Nevertheless, under
the present system of electing senator's
Judge Paynter received fifty mine votes
in the Democratic caucus when he only
needed fifty-three
Blackburn is only sixty years
old, an exceedingly well preserved
man. While he is a fine lawyer, excep-
tionally strong as criminal lawyer,
politics is his special delight. 1t is hard
to tell whether he has political fu-
ture. The chances are that he can be
elected governor next year if he wants
to be. He might possibly return to the
house from the Ashland district, though
South Trimble seems to have a pretty
good grip on his constituency. 1t is not
at all probable that he will attempt to
gobble Senator McCreary's toga, as he
| fought just as hard to save Blackburn
as did Blackburn himself, and, any
how, Governor Beckham has his eagle
eye fixed on the McCreary toga. But
Beckham will find it an exceedingly
| difficult task to divorce Senator Nc
Creary from his official raiment.

How to save washine and Duster..

How to save washing and busters.
Save washing and busters by using
old newspapers for cleaning. They are
excellent for window polishers, first
rate for securing tinware with and are
as good as brush for polishing
stove. The prudent woman will al
ways keep a good pad Of newspapers
at hand and use it for wiping up
grease or water spilled on the gas or
coal cooking stove. for it will enable
her to keep the stove clean, with half
the usual trouble.

and after we gobbled them they are
not worth rush to US. In fact, they
are a dead expense, for we are OF
course still letting their sugar in free,
which means that on the 100000 tons
which they send to us annually we
make them a present of $35 tariff
per ton, making total Of $4,000
600 per year, which we pay them for
the pleasure Of their society, to say
nothing Of the cost Of keeping up their
government. Now. be it remembered
that letting In the Hawaiian sugar free
does not cheaper sugar to the consum-
er, for so long as the sugar trust has
the differential on refined sugar it has
the American consumer by the throat
and can fix prices Of refined sugar to
suit itself, which it does. Why in heav-
ems name were not these beet sugar
exploiters thinking of this when they
lined up solidly in favor of annexing
the Hawaiian Islands? Why did they
not line up with those Of us who fought
that grab tooth and nail? If they had
done SO they would not now be COM
peting with Hawaii and with the Phil
ippines, for if they had helped US the
annexation job would have been de-
feated and there never would have
been any Philippine problem.

A New Orator In the House.

TIE house of representative is said
to be a severe critic. 1t also is fair.
Pinchbeck orators and Pinchbeck
statesmen are ruthlessly turned down.
They are persona non grata, but
when a genuine orator or debater ap-
pears he is hailed with delight, sans
ceremonie and without delay. Conse-
quently when young Fred Lands Of
Indiana closed his maiden speech
everybody knew that he had won his
spurs and would henceforth be placed
on the roll of the house speakers worth
listening to- His theme ostensibly was
saThe Distribution of the Presidents
Message really it was the insurance
thieves. Fred did a scientific job of
slxinning. Some of his epigrams will
live, SUCH for instance, as those where
in he characterized Cassie Chadwick as
1.-THE daughter of the regiment of the
captains of industry" and J. Pierpont
Morgan as .sthe great international
kieptomaniac." Three years ago Fred,
who is the younger brother of Hon.
Charles B. Landis, also a representa-
tive from Indiana, defeated Governor
George w. Steele for the nomination
while all the world wondered. During
his first term in congress he never es-
sayed to speak, but when he did speak,
just before Christmas. the house sat up
suddenly and took notice.

Senator Reed Smoot is finding Jordan
a hard road to travel True, he is still
in the senate, drawing his stipend and
discharging the other duties Of a con-
script father, but he realizes that he is
permitted to remain solely because he
is Republican and that had he been
Democrat he would have been fired
long ago on the same evidence which
has been adduced. When Mr.. Smoot
thinks Of ex-senator Kearns he must
feel like making an old proverb read
this way, Hell hath no fury like a
multimillionaire Republican statesman
scorned Kearns is out, but he must
roll in his mouth as a delicious morsel
Lord Byron's mot, Sweet is revenge"
He certainly has caused Smoot many
sleepless nights and unhappy days, and
he is still at It. The chances are ten to
one that Smoot wishes he had doubled
teams and joined hands with Kearns
instead of locking horns with him. In
that event he could have had some en-
joyment out OF his senatorial term.

When Hon. George Brinton McClel-
Ian was indicted into the mayoralty
on New Years day, he intimated that
in all human probability he was hold
ing his last Office. He is only forty,
and it is sad to think that he is disgust
ed with the game which he has played
with rare discretion and rare good luck.
While he was thus indicating his retire
ment at the end Of four years others
were predicting most alluring polit-
ical future for him. If Mcclellan
cuts loose from his old fulcrum, Tam
many, who will furnish him another ?
william Travers Jerome and William
Randolph Hearst are in possession of
the -Tammany fulcrum. All New
York's presidential aspirants cannot
use that one fulcrum- that's plain.
That neither Hearst nor jerome will
relinquish his co:gn Of vantage to Nc
Clellan is equally clear.

FRANCE FACES A CRISIS
7oPE's ENcYcLicAL MAKES THE
DEADLOCK COMPLETE.
Government Regards His Action as
Little Less than Summons of Cath
olics to Open Rebellion.


Paris, Dec. 10-France seems to
face an alarming religious crisis Sat
urday nights reports of the Pope's
eleventh hour rejection of the gov
ernment's final proffer under which
Catholic worship could be continued
under the common law turns out to
be only too true and the deadlock now
is apparently complete. According to
the holy fathers orders, declarations
under the law of 1881 are prohibited,
but the parish priests must remain in
their churches until driven out by
violence.
The official confirmation of this COM
munication has created sensation
both in government and Catholic cir
cles. Cardinal Lecot, archbishop of
Bordeaux, archbishop German and
others who already had advised COM
pliance with the law, have hastily in
structed the parish priests of their
null and void, and Sunday in all the
churches of Paris bishops and priests,
after mass, read the letter from Car
dinal Richard, archbishop of Paris,
communicating the decision of the
holy see to continue services in the
churches, but abstain from any declar-
ation," and Cardinal Richards own
instructions, in view of the order is
sued by the project of the Seine Sat
urday, not to permit for the present
the employment of ceremonial draper
les at marriages or funerals.
The church wardens, whose legal
existence expires Tuesday, were
thanked Sunday from the pulpits OF
the various churches. Prayers were
offered for the protection of God dur.
ing the coming period of persecution
The government regards the action
of the pontiff as little less than sum
mons of the French Catholics to open
rebellion as rendering the situation
exceedingly grave and possibly en-
failing the most deplorable conse-
quences.
Premier Clemenceau and M. BRAND
minister of public worship, were in
conference all day Sunday. There is
no sign of the government faltering,
but it recognizes that it may be
forced to extreme measures. M.
BRAND said Sunday that the decision
of the pope was entirely unexpected.
