Pike County Democrat, Volume 30, Number 29, Petersburg, Pike County, 24 November 1899 — Page 5

Washington? Notes.. Representative Richardson,of Tenn., is the first one of the four candidates for ttye^denjocratic nomination for Speaker of the House, which carries with it^tke^d€moeratic_ floor leadership* during- the fiftV-sixth Congress, to reach Washington and open headquarters. Mr. Richardson says he has received more pledges of support than any of the othet\three can-didates—-Bankhead of Alabama, De Armond of Missouri, and Sulzer of New York, and expresses confidence in his success, but the friends of the other candidates also express\confidence of the success of their man in this good natured contest for the democratic leadership in the House. Bailey of Texas, has not yet reached Washington, but he stated during the last session that he would not again be a candidate, but would support Mr. Bankhead for the honor. Some are predicting that there will be a deadlock in the caucus and that the friends of all the candidates will compromise by nominating Mr. Bailey again. .If there were any doubts about Representative Henderson having been the administration's choice for Speaker, it would have been dissipated by what has occurred since his arrival in Washington. Almost before he had removed the dust of travel from his clothes, he called at the White House to know whether Mr. McKinley had any orders to give as to the committee assignments, aside from the packing of the committee on Banking and Currency in favor of the single gold standard bill, w’hich w’as ordered last summer. Mr. Henderson is going to be a McKinley Speaker, and this House, 'instead of registering the will of Czar Reed as the last one did, will register the will of Mr. McKinley.

finance committee of which a majority have for years been silver men, even since the committee was controlled by the republicans, the gold worshippers are going to reorganize J the Senate Committee, giving the republicans nine members in those consisting of thirteen and seven in those consisting of eleven. Even then the gold men will only have a majority of one in the Finance Committee, as Jones of Nevada, classed as a silver republican and Walcott of Colorado, who calls himself a republican bimetallist, can be counted upon to act with the silver men on the question of reporting a bill to enact the single gold standard. The four democratic members of this committee are Vest of Missouri, Jones of Arkansas, Daniels of-Virginia, and Chilton of Texas, all staunch silver men. TJnless Mr. McKinley gets frightened by those republicans, who although willing to yote for a gold standard bill if compelled to do so, believe it will be bad policy to pass one on the eve of a Presidential campaign, such a bill is likely to be jammed through at this session of Congress. It will depend largely upon the attitude taken by Mr. McKinley in his message to Congress. Nothing could more clearly show the close relations existing between Secretary Gage and thd^Wall street speculators, and the absolute control of this administration by the money kings, than the manner in which Secretary Gage went to the rescue of the Wall street crowd, by purchasing $2T>,000,000 worth of Government bonds. Not two hours before the order was officially issued to buy those bonds, Secretary Gage assured newspaper men that no bonds would be - bought. Later he received his orders from Wall street, and promptly obeyed by ordering a purchase of bonds. When the Wall street gang squeezes the public, the government never goes to the relief of the public, but let the screws be turned a few times on the big speculators, and the treasury dumps a big wad of public money into Wall street to ease the pinch, and the gullible public is expected to accept the statement that it is a patriotic act, done to prevent a financial panic, when it is well known that it is really done to prevent loss on the part of the big speculators who do not hesitate to make situations threatening a money panic whenever they think it profitable to do so, because Of their knowledge that the U. S. Treasury is behind them. There will come a time— it will have to come—when Wall street speculators will not dictate the actions of the U. S. Treasury, but it will not come until there is an administra

tion in power which does not owe its election to money put up by the great speculators of thd country. •* There will be a chance to elect such an administration next year. Although the election is over, Ohio republicans are^till getting fat slices of pie from the official counter. One of the last to be fed was Mr. H. Hart, a young lawyer of Alliance, who has been appointed U. S. Consul, at Dusselldorf, Germany, considered a very desirable post, to fill a vacancy caused by death. The statement that Bo$s Hanna had told Mr. McKinley that he would not remain at the head of the republican national comSnittee is believed to be nothing more than a ruse to head off the tight against Hanna, by prominent republicans. Hanna may retire, but if he does, it will be because he knows it is a choice of going apparently of his own will and getting kicked out. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slaver^, George D Williams of Manchester, Michigan, tells how such a slave was made free. He says: “My wife has been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work.” This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only oO cents. Sold by Stearnes Drug Co. IngersolPs Last Letter. 4,I think the treatment of the Filipinos wrong, foolish. I do not want the Filipinos unless they want us. I believe in expansion if it is honest. Tj want Cuba if the Cubans want us. At the same time I think our forces should be immediately withdrawn from Cuba and the people of that island allowed to govern themselves. We #aged war against Spain for liberty and for right and we must wear the laurels unstained.”—It. G. Ingersoll to Editor Chester Claim, July 20, 1899, the day before he died. What Would You Do?

When the white man governs himself, that is self-government: but when he governs himself and also another man, that is more than selfgovernment—that is despotism. Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in us: our defense is in the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men in all lands, everywhere. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and under a just God cannot long retain it.' Abraham Lincoln. Called Him a Liar. Barney Plumb of Kansas, says he called every doctor a liar till he tried Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. He says it saved him hundreds of dollars doctor bill, for one 50c bottle cured him of stomach trouble. Sold byOliphant Druy ('n. n
