circumstances that
call for light heartedness, and for
thorough entrance into the spirit of
an occasion, our brows are clouded
with business perplexities, or some
unsolved problem starts up and en
grosses our attention. Now j'ou can
never make yourself an agreeable
companion, or be happy yourself in
that double-minded fashion. There
will always be a dark cloud hovering
just over your head, and you will
feel the gloom of it, and others will
see the shadow. What is the use of
going away on a pleasure jaunt if
you have to take your cares and
troubles with you? You might just
as well nurse them at home if you
are bound togo into the nursing
business. The peculiar thing about
these people, who can never quite
enter whole-heartedly into the pleas
ures of life, is that they sire not usu
ally very efficient in their serious
tasks. When they should be all at
tention to an important matter their
wits are apt to be wool-gathering on
some pleasure excursion. The truth
is that we should resolutely give our
selves up to whatever we are doing;
put all there is of us into the busi
ness in baud. Enter into the spirit
of it, and when we are through
with it enter into the spirit of some
thing else. It is a matter of will, of
self-control. The man who says
that he cannot do it has not learned
how to run the human machine.

extent and impor
tance of the industries and commerce
that are carried on outside of the
cities. And, after all, the towns are
but small factors in thi* world's work.
It is the farmer, declares the Brook
lyn Eagle, who is the support of ev
erything. He does not cut a figure
in the social or official world, but be
is the world's mainstay, none the
less. But while we have a notion of
the value of the grain crop, and of
bay and potatoes, it is startling to
discover the value of poultry. Walk
ing and ovate the liens of this nation
added last year more than $281,000,-
000 to the national resources. We
paid four dollars apiece, every man,
woman and child of us, for fowls oi
eggs, or both, in a twelvemonth. Con
sidering how many keep hens and do
not have to buy, this really means a
larger figure, for the folks who do
not keep them. And these industrious
birds laid 10,000.000,000 eggs during
the working season, and they occu
pied nearly 5,740,000 farms. Would
anyone have supposed there were so
many farms and eggs? It all proves
what an industrious nation this is,
for even the hens share in the fierce
energy of the populace, and do their
share toward warmly setting forth
the breakfast tables of the republic.
Two young women who played in

cian. "You'll have to wear a tight
bandage around the wrist for three
or four days and apply some liniment
that I'll give you. I've had a half

DEFEAT OF SENATOR JONES.
I'olltlrat Downfall ot the Chairman
of the Dfmorrittiv Nnfioual
Committee,
Some facts originally presented by
the Globe-Democrat have led to the de
feat in hi* own state of Senator .lames
K. Jones, of Arkansas. Mr. Jones has
been condemned in a general primary
of democratic voters in the state, a ma
jority having been given his competi
tor, ex-Gov. James I*. Clarke. Senator
Jones' political downfall is the more
notable because he is the chairman of
the democratic national committee
and held this position throughout, the
two Uryan campaigns. l!ut opposition
to Bryan, or a lurch toward the reor
ganization of the democratic party, is
not the cause of the repudiation of
Jones in Arkansas, lie played false
on the trust question. While he was a
director and stockholder in the round
cotton bale monopolistic company he
was among the foremost in denouncing
the trust system. The Globe-Demo
crat gave the plain facts in the case.
Senator Jones denied them and re
sorted to abuse of this paper as the
trump card of his campaign for an
other term as senator. But the demo
crats of Arkansas examined the
charges, perceived their truth and the
double dealing of Jones, and have ac
cordingly ret ired him as a public serv
ant, states the St. Louis Globe-Demo
cra4.
No democratic platform in any
stale has been more radically opposed
to trusts limn those adopted in Ar-

Kansas, with live full cooperation of
Jones. At the same time, Jones was
one of the round cotton bale combina
tion, composed of a consolidation of
business interests, with many plants
throughout the south, and soconduet
ed that competition in its particular
line is driven to the wall. Jones lias
been trying to make the democrats
believe that bis particular trust is an
innocent business expansion, and that,
if objectionable, it ought to be par
doned because the (!lobe-Democrat ex
posed it. The democrats of Arkansas
do not see it in that light. They con
demn a senator who runs with the
hounds anil holds with the hares. State
pride must have secured some votes
for Jones as the chairman of the dem
ocratic national committee, but his du
plicity in regard to trusts is the rock
that wrecked him.
Crooked politicians often raise a hue
and cry against the agencies by which
the truth about them is made known,
but, the people are not the plaything
they imagine. Partisan bigotry is not,
as Jones supposed, so strong in Ar
kansas that the people will condone
double dealing. This form of political
hypocrisy is worked to the limit by
leading democrats in Missouri. They
try to meet a damaging fact by epi
thets bestowed upon the Globe-Demo
crat for printing it'. Democratic or
ators in Missouri wait for a round of
applause w hen they denounce the jour
nal that has laid bare their record of
government by the ring for the ring.
They may get the superficial approval
expected, but the silent verdict at the
ballot box will lie different, as Jones
has discovered in Arkansas. The truth
will prevail. Jones felt so secure in
the assumed blind partisanship of i:is
party in his own state that lie thought,
lie could safely go into the trusts

A VERY POOR ISSUE.
Mr, M ntlcmoii'H \ lew of the Mill"
U ui-xl io 11 fur foimlde rut 101 l iu
the <ll mpa itfii of 11)0-1.
Editor Wattersou wired his pa pel
from Washington that t lie plan of deal
ing with the Philippines reported by
the democrats of the senate commit
tee "undoubtedly lays down the line
on which the democratic party will
stand and fight the next presidential
battle." That is as the Journal pre
dicted. "Here or hereabouts," says
Mr. Wntterson, "we have the para
mount issue for 1904." This view, how
ever, is subject to the important reser
vation suggested by the Journal that
the democrats may be compelled by
force of circumstances to abandon the
plan before 1904. It is the misfortune
of democratic statesmanship that it
has no capacity for original act ion. Be
ing built to float with the tide, it is apt
to be left high and dry when the tide
goes out. It never sails the high seas
and makes from port to port, as re
publican statesmanship does. In 1804,
when the democrats declared in their
national platform that the war for the
unioa was a failure and demanded the
immediate cessation of host ilit ies, they
did not anticipate that decisive union
victories would render their declara
tion obsolete and absurd before the
election. The chances are a hundred
to one that before the democratic na
tional convention meets in 1904 the.
Philippine problem will have been so
far solved by republican statesman
ship and the Filipinos will have be-
come goquiet,contented and liappj un
der the American flag that democt ;its
themselves will be glad tn have it for
gotten that they ever proposed that
the United States should relinquish
its sovereignty and remit the islands
to a condition of anarchy. The tr<.li
ttle with the democratic party is that it
is never in partnership with events. It
is forever trying to reverse the de
crees of Providence. It it would stand
in with the Almighty once in awhile
it hope to succeed. To propose
the relinquishment of American sov
ereignty in the Philippines is fighting
the stars in their courses, says the In
dianapolis Journal.
With the unstatesmanlike and fan
tastic democratic plan of dealing with
the Philippines—a plan that, assumes
the inability of the United States to
carry through a work to which it has
put its hand and that implies the su
periority of Filipino to American meth
ods—with this abortive essay at con
structive statesmanship compare the
republican plan of suppressing insur
rection, asserting American sover
eignty, extending civil government, es
tablishing schools and familiarizing
the people with the blessings of consti
tutional liberty. All of the best peo
ple in the islands are now in full sym
pathy with the United States, and
there is reason to believe that long be
fore the democratic convent ion meets
in 1!)04 the last vestige of the insur
rection will have disappeared. I'.y that
time the American people would as
soon think of srivinjj up Alaska m Ha
waii as the Philippines, and what Mr.
Watterson now thinks n paramount is
sue will be recalled only to he
laughed at.

New York, April 10.—Authoritative
announcement, of a consolidation of
the great hardware jobbing inter
ests of the country in a combination
capitalized at $120,000,000 is made by
the Iron Age in its issue to-day. The
consolidation embraces the Simmons
Hardware Co., of St. Louis; Bindley
Hardware Co., of Pittsburg; William
Bingham Co., of Cleveland; Supplee
Hardware Co., of Philadelphia, and
46 other houses representing nearly
every important trade center of the
country. Negotiations are still pend
ing with other houses, and it is ex
pected that there will be further ac
cessions to the number already en
rolled in the combination.
The Iron Age says; "The organi
zation not being technically com
pleted, there has been no formal
choice of officers. The financing of
the company is attended to by Moore
<fc Schley, of New York, and George 15.
Hill & Co., of Pittsburg, Pa. It is in
tended to incorporate under the laws
of New Jersey with a capital of $120,-
000,000— $40,000,000 preferred and
$80,000,000 common stock. The gen
eral headquarters for buying and
selling and transportation of goods
will be in St. Louis. The eastern
headquarters will be in New York
City.
"The principle of home rule will be
recognized in connection with the lo
cal houses, who will make their own
selling prices, except so far as this
may interfere with the buying de
partment or the expressed wishes of
the manufacturers, which it will be
the policy of the company to respect.
Each house will be held responsible
for the results of its business and if
these are not satisfactory, the house
will be closed up.
"As at present constituted, it is
estimated by the company that they
embrace something like two-thirds
of the distributing efficiency of the
jobbing trade of the country in the
hardware line. They are content
that the other third should remain
competitors, as it is not intended to
monopolize the jobbing business."
AN APPEAL.

Chicago, April 10.—The Gov. Yates
Boer relief fund committee yesterday
issued the following appeal to the
public: "The entire population of
the two South African republics ut
the beginning of the war was less
than one-tenth that of the popula
tion of Cook county, 111. This liand
fui of people have for ;i0 months been
at war with soldiers gathered from
all over the world by Great Britain.
For more than one year the women
end children have been heri! d in re
concentrado camps, being thus de
prived of all means of self-support.
They are now totally dependent.
One-half of the children are dead,
but there is still time to help the
other half. The mortality amongst
the women has also been frightful.
"We desire to collect $5,000,000
checks and drafts of one dollar each,
from all parts of the United States,
payable to Theodore Itoosevelt, to be
presented to him as a petition for
such aid as lie may be able to render
these people, and as a practical and
beneficiit demonstration of the sym
pathy of the people of America for
hese reconeentraclo camp sufferers.
These checks and drafts should be
sent to Peter Van Vlissingen, 172

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Terrible Tragedy in a Washington
State ISonin.
Everett, Wash., April 10.—A shock
ing tragedy occurred last evening,
when Mrs. Shepard K. Bueey, wife of
the assistant cashier of the American
national bank, killed her husband,
their 4-year-old son and herself in a
fit of insanity. In the parlor lay the
form of Mrs. Bueey, shot through
the heart. By her side was her 4-
year-old boy, Eugene, with a bullet
hole through his head. In the dining
room adjoining the parlor was Mr.
Bueey's body with two bullet holes
behind the left ear. The most re
liable account of the tragedy is told
by a servant, Klizabeth McNulty, who
said:
"I was in the kitchen when Mrs.
Bueey fired the first shot. 1 started in,
but seeing her approaching with a
smoking revolver 1 returned to the
kitchen, where Mr. Bueey's mother
was with the 18-mojiths-old baby.
With the second shot the old lady
started into the room, when Mrs.
Bueey ran up to her husband and
fired two shots through his head.
His mother cried out, 'Oh, she has
killed my boy.' She then killed her
self. There was no cause which 1
can imagine that would cause the
tragedy."

Minneapolis, Minn., April 10.—Just
as her husband entered the gates of

where she had summoned him, Mrs.
Annie Schlosa, standing among the

with fatal result. She had been miss
ing since the evening before, after a
quarrel with her mother, and noth
