The Policy of the Democratic Senators
Toward Legislation.

I\. Jones, of Arkansas, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. «»-
tunned to Washington today from his trip
■to Chicago where lie went to attend a
eoitoreneie of tin* executive committee.
‘‘There was soma* effort on the part of
outsiders,’’ said tig* (Senator this after
noon. "to make it api>ear (tfhat very signi
ficant business was 'being transacted by
■tin* committee. As a plain matter of
fact, them' was little or motiving of pop
ular interest in tin* meeting. It was sim
ply to arrange some mutters of organiza
tion.”
“What will lie th'C policy of the Demo
cratic Senators towards legislation this
winter,” he whs asked.
“Demoiiratic, si|ten king generally,” was
tlw* Senator's reply. “I don’t pretend to
speak for anybody but myself when I
talk about, any particular measures. I
believe in resisting to tin* utmost the
proposed gold standard legislation, the
al edition of greenbacks and the extendi cm
of privileges to national baulks. Tut*
Hawaiian islands are now a part of our
domain by annexation, and title (people
there should lie admitted to all the privil
eges of government, that are accorded to
residents of the United 'States.
“If we are to regard ourselves as
Christian gentlemen, .standing by the
Declaration of 'lrntdieftendenoe, I do not
sen* 'liow we are to fom* ill am tin* Cu
bans notr flu? Filipinos any form of gov
ernment without the full consent of the
governed. It seems to me out of tin*
question to even make a >tale out ol the
1 Millippime I siamis.'’
Senator Jones asked with considerable
concern about the development in the
east* of Senator Quay, of lVnnsylvnnui.
Apart from the personal considerations,
he waid he should regard it. its .a very
grave error for tlw* Senate to allow All*.
Guay to retain iris seat. ‘“The prece
dents are so strong against this,” said
Senator Jones, “that a reserve vote mow
would give the country at large the idea
that tin* Senate wins playing politics.

Man’s Heritage.
A Peculiar Blessing Handed Down
From Heaven to the Children
of Men.
In tlie beginning before God created
mankind. He prepared for his coming.
Nature's storehouse was abundantly
filled with all man’s needs —in sickness
and in health—for God knew to what
his fall would lead, and accordingly pre
pared, in mercy, the herbs, roots and
barks, after several kinds and endowed
i Man with wisdom to find therein a boon
• for all the ills to which the human flesh
might fall heir, through transgression.
• In after years a man went forth to
• search and God rewarded his efforts by
revealing to him the ingredients to pre
