DEMOCRATIC ISSUES
Which Point the Way to
Certain Victory.
THE TARIFF AND HOW IT WORKS
Federal Government Owner
ship Should be Restrict
ed to Few Things.

Hon. John W. Daniel, United States
Senator from Virginia, writing In
Harper's Weekly, has the following
excellent article on the political sit
uation:
Real issues are made by the people
themselves and grow out of their ne
cessities. Artificial issues are like
artificial flowers, good for nothing
except in the gaslight.
AS to the tariff, reform it for the
purpose of making it in the interest
of the people instead of the interest
of monopoly, and the interest of do
nestle development instead of for
eign development as it now is in
many cases. When the farmers, the
carpenters, the laborers' and the
builders tools can be bought in
South America and South Africa at
cheaper rates than here at the very
doors of theAmerican factory in which
they are made, it is folly to claim
that our farmers, carpenters, laborers
and builders and our people generally
are protected thereby. They are
simply mulcted. 1t is an insult to
the intellect of men to claim that our
myriad consumers are protected" by
charging them more for American
manufactures than is charged for the
same American-made articles in South
Africa--after paying the freight to
get them there. Only what you would
in the vernacular, call "a sucker"
could be gulled by such sophistical
contention. Be discriminatory and
moderate with respect to the tariff
Correct it's errors, lop off it's Excess
ses, eliminate it's obvious and I'M
American discrimination. Respect our
healthy and honest industries, having
tender care for the wages of our
workmen, and avoid the wrecking re-
suits of radicalism.
Ownership by the Federal Govern
ment should be confined to those
things which are necessary for self
defense. The United States owns and
operates cannon and gun factories,
and shipyards, because they are nee
essary for self-defense. They are
now building a powder factory and
should build whatever is needful to
keep ready for war without being at
tackled within by monopolies, when
attacked without by hostile armies
and fleets.
Millions for defense, but not one
cent for tribute"
Sould we undertake to buy and OPP
crate the railroad systems of the
United States, we would instantly con
vert the Government itself into pro-
digious railroad trust. 1t would have
over a million employees to be APP
pointed in some way at Washington,
and there would be the most tremen-
dous organ of Capitalization and cor
ruption that the world has ever
known.
jefferson thought that the best
government is that which governs
least; while such a railroad govern
ment would be one that governs most.
Whenever the Federal Government
or the State governments have gone
into partnership with the railroads
they have come out at the little end
OF the horn. Look at the history of
the Pacific roads, and look here in
Virginia at our own experience. Here
we are still bearing the burden of
our railroad experiments, and they
have encouraged us the idea of
jumping from the frying-pan into the
fire

THE BOSS CATFISH
Rules the Waters of the
Cumberland River.
"OLD JOE" IS HARD TO CATCH
Known to Fishermen and
Steamboat Pilots Along
the Classic Stream.

Glasgow, KY, June 2S.. Just how
or when he received his cognomen
no one seems to know, but should you
call the name "Old Joe" anywhere
along the Cumberland river above
Celina, Tenn, your hearers will at
once become attentive and usually the
uuerry, Have you seen him. or
"Who saw him last?" will greet your
remark.
"Old Joe" is an immense catfish,
eight to nine feet long, and it Is
thought will weigh more than two
hundred pounds. He was first seen
about twenty years ago in the Cum
berland river where Marrowbone creek
en,pties into that classic stream, in
Cumberland county. Since that time
hardly a week passes during the fish
ing season that someone does not
see this huge fish and always near
where he was first seen. The farth-
est point that he has ever been known
to roam was a mile.
Many plans to capture or kill "Old
Joe" have miscarried and from the
way he has eluded the various traps
and snares set for him he must be
wise as we'll as large. Fishermen
anxious to possess "Old Joe's" scalp
have camped on the river for weeks,
remained all day, waiting for chance
shot, placed poison in the river, dyna-
mited all along for mile and after
becoming worn out would leave in
disgust, only to learn from someone
that "Old Joe" had been seen the day
they broke camp, floating near the
surface of the water, evidently en-
joying a sun bath.
After "Old Joe's" habitation was
established steamboat men began to
look for him and there are very few
pilots on the upper Cumberland that
have not seen "Old Joe" If at any
time a pilot spoke of having seen
log or snag in that locality he was
promptly told that it was "Old Joe"
Recently we'll known pilot on the
Cumberland river had a good look
at the King of the Upper Cumber-
land" and in speaking of his obser-
yations saws: Some time since
had the pleasure of seeing this enor-
nous catfish. In length | suppose
it would measure close to eight feet,
possibly more. | was in a position
to get q good view of him while on
duty in the piiothouse, being so high
above the water | could see him clear
~. Noticing break in the water
thought it was a large snag. had
cotton on the opposite side of my
wheel in order to steer around what
it was. ] called to the clerk through
the trumpet to get his gun and get
the big fish. / was getting close
on him when the clerk appeared with
his gun and he could only see the
waves that the King of the Cumber-
land made on his descent to the
deep. Old Joe's' habitation is in the
neighborhood of the mouth of Mar
row bone creek. This fish, | suppose,
would weigh over 200 pounds.
His tail seemed to be larger than
palm leaf fan"
As "Old Joe" has been a familiar
figure for twenty or thirty years 1t
is hard to even surmise how old he
is, but rivermen are of the opinion
that he must be more than fifty years
old.

Horrible Deed of Frenzied Mother

Formosa, Kan, June 2S.-Alrs. Pc
ter Johnson cut the Threats of her
two children and her own about G
o'clock this morning. Her husband,
a wealthy stock and grain dealer, kill
ed himself three weeks ago by drink
ing carbolic acid. She has been act
ing strangely ever since.
This morning she went into the
kitchen, where her sister was getting
breakfast. Breakfast not being ready
she returned to the bedroom, where
her two children, a boy of 10 and a
girls of Z, were asleep. Locking the
door she picked up water pitcher
and struck the little girl a blow on
the head, breaking the pitcher. Then,
taking a piece of the broken pitcher,
she caught the boy and gouged him
until his cries brought neighbors.
The frenzied woman ran upstairs
and with a piece of broken glass cut
her own throat, severing the wind
pipe half in two. The children may
recover, but she will die.

HUGE THRONGS or

PUBLIC WEDDING.
Unique Ceremony Performed at Carnival
Last Night Amid the Bewildering Ar
ray Of Myriads of Lights and Shop
apparatus

the tent was filled to its utmost ca
pacity and so urgent was the demand
for admission that the crowd broke
beyond the restraining ropes and half
filled the arena, only being kept from
surging clear across the open space by
the policemen on hand to keep the
throng in bounds. The bridal couple
were driven into the enclosure audi
remained in one corner during the
performance, and the moment the side
walls were dropped the throng sur
rounded the carriage and the cere-
mony was held. Louder, louder,
came the cries as the squire pro-
nounced the words of the ceremony
and Justice Ayres raised his voice SO
that all in the throng might hear

lips tenderly to the end Of side comb
as the gay plumage of the pretty pic
ture hat, worn by the bride, played
tag with his eyes to such an extent
that he was unable to see whether
the bride or the groom was the object
of his fond embrace. The whole affair
was highly amusing to the spectators,
who laughed and cheered the proceed
ings as huge joke and the best part
tof the entire carnival. Congratula-
lions then began to be showered upon
the happy couple and within a few
minutes hundreds of felicitattons had
been received and if they are happy
in accordance with the degree of hap
piness wished them, there will never
be any cause for complaint on the
part of either Of the young people and
their connubial life will be one con.
