DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS
HAVE STRENGTHENED PARTY
BY CHARLES 4. EDWARDS

in the Republican administration, sim
ply because they are down and out
told Mr.. Roosevelt that he had only Il
come out with the statement that he
would accept the nomination, to sci
the country absolutely on fire. II
agreed so well with his own estimate
OF his popularity, that he expected tc
see the light of the blaze even at Oys
ter Bay. When the crash comes al
Chicago next June, poor old Roose
welt and his ambitions will fall fiattel
than pumpkin pie from the top of the
Washington Monument. He will be
the worst discredited man In the Uni.
ted States and his advisers will have
done him the greatest injustice and
his overweening egotism has done him
the greatest injury that ever came to
any man who was ever President of
the United States.
President Grant survived his third
term ambitions on account of his war
record. Roosevelt has nothing of
that kind to fall back on, and will sink
into oblivion as an ambitious monte
bank who believed he was the trib-
une of the people and found out that
he was the blower of nothing but a fog
horn.

Special to The NemS

Special to The NeUS
Washington, d. c., March 23.-The
democratic party of this country is to
be congratulated on the membership
of the 62nd Congress. In some re-
spects it is remarkable body of men.
1t goes against my grain to ever make
it necessary for me to criticize the
Democrats, but I must say that some
of the membership of the 62nd Con
gress, when they first came here, were
the greenest set of goslings that poll,
ticians in the National Capital have
seen for 10, these many days. 1t is
not to be presumed that every man
who, is elected to Congress is a great
statesman and knows all about the in
tricacies of National legislation, but
some of these fellows who came here
reminded me of the remark made by Z,
friend of mine of the capacity for re-
tanning good red liquor of a certain
individual He said, Some people
do not know when they get enough,
but when that fellow has got enough,
he doesn't know anything" Now I
don't mean to imply that these people
drink liquor or forget what they are
doing on that account, but mean
that when they first came here they
did not know what to do and that's
why ! am in a position not 20 throw
brickbat at them, but bouquet.
So far as the tariff question is con-
cerned, they did not know anything
about how to go about reducing it
from a Democratic standpoint. In
feet, some of them did not know any
more about economics than a parrot
does of the power of prayer. In fact,
some of them do not know whether
Ricardo was an economist or a corn
doctor, but they were willing to learn.
| name no names and say nothing
harsh about any of them, for they de.
serve all the credit that can be given
them for making good soldiers. They
simply had confidence in their leader
and General, Speaker Champ Clark, /
followed his lead. took his advice and
have made of the Democratic party, |
not only in Congress but in the Uni |
ted States, militant force and army
with banners that is ready to go forth |
and do battle for the principles of the
party and the interests of the people,
and win.

CANADA WANTS
AMERICAN MINERS

Pittsburg, March 23.-For the past
week representative of large opera
tors in this state have been invest.
eating a rumor to the effect that
agents who are said to represent Brit.
ish interests are travelling through the
southern anthracite regions Offering
big wages to winers to accept employ
ment in Canadian mines, the output of
which is to be sent to England, where
shortage of coal is expected for six
months after the miners strike shall
have been broken. 1t was said here
today that efforts will be made to re-
slst the plans of the British agents,
for many of the miners whose services
are sought are non-union men who will
be drafted into service in case OF a
strike. On the other hand MANY of
the miners are speaking of accepting
the offers of the British agents.

the death of Abraham Lincoln produc.
ed such an impression in Rome that
IL was decided to express the sympa.
thy of the Eternal City in the most
solemn way possible.
Just at that time, near the railway
station, the Agger, or permanent for.
tifications. built by Servius Tullius
was coming to light. The Agger is a
huge embankment about 120 feet wide
and 25 feet high, the lower courses OF
the structure being gigantic blocks
OF pepper-colored stone, held together
by strong clamps of iron, and the up-
per courses Of smaller blocks of vol
canic punicestone.
The Romans then thought that moth.
ing could express their feelings in q
more eloquent manner than sending
one of these blocks, with a marble
slab and inscription, to Abraham Lin
coin. The appropriateness of the idea
was added to by the similarity of the
deaths of the two great men, Servius
Tullius and Abraham Lincoln, the
former also having been murdered.
The inscription bore the date of June
20, 1865.
The block was sent to Mr.. Steil-
mann, then American Consul at Leg.
horn, who forwarded it on the British
steamer Uhla, which through strange
coincidence was commanded bv Can
tain Lincoln, and who sailed for the
United States on August 4, 1865. A
year passed without anything being
heard OF it. 1t was only much later
that 1t was possible to learn that the
Uhla encountered very stormy wealth
er and went ashore near Bermuda,
where ship and cargo were sold at auc-
tion, and the precious stone was
abandoned on the shore.
4 Engineer Girardi now raises his
voice in order that that stone, render.
ed more precious through these yicis-
STUDIES, should be sought for, and if
impossible to find, another should be
taken from the Agger, given the same
inscription, and sent to Hardin coun.
