THE IK PL A ¡FORM DECLARED.
The democratic caucus adopt-
ed the following' resolutions as
the policy to be pursued by them
in the house of representatives:
Revolved, That it ia the sense of

bers of the house of representatives

fCvery now and then we hear
remark as to the advisability
of paving- Caldwell's busiest
street from the square to the
depot. A drive out that pleasant
thoroughfare is all that is neces-
sary just at present to convince
anyone of the fact that it should
be paved, and at once so we will
waste no time discussing that
point
It seems to be the general sen-
timent that it could be done with
a very light expense, and that it
is only necessary to make an
earnest effort in this direction to
accomplish the desired result.
But the main trouble seems to be
to get some one to start the ball
rolling. Everyone waits for some
one else, so nothing is done.
Now, as the holidays will soon
be over, and probably our bus-
iness men will have more time to
devote to such affairs, we would
suggest that the matter be taken
in hand at once, bv some of our
energeticcitizensand that the pav-

The proprietors of the Xkw >
Ckkoniclk, being comparatively
new comerá, feel a hesitation in
handling a matter of thia kind
and prefer seeing some of our
old established business men tak-
ing hold, but will pledge our
hearty support in every possible
way to any movement for the
benefit of our town.
Bkkokk the election McKinley
told the people he favored a vig-
orous Cuban policy—but he
winked the other eye.
Gknkkal Blanco sent Colonel
Ruiz to try and bribe the Cubans
to accept autonomy, and to act as
spy upon their movements- but
he never came back.

The fearlessness of these reso-
lutions contrasts very favorably
with the beat-about-the-bush pol-
man who is heard to express his dentlv
aag~e of President McKinley.
It is not to be wondered at that
the republican party hesitates in
announcing its policy on any sub-
ject, no matter of how trifling
importance, as they are placed
between two fires as it were. On
the one side is arrayed the power-
ful trusts and combinations
whose sworn servants they are,
while on the other side stands
the great American common-
wealth—the people—whose sworn
servants they arc also supposed
to be.
It is the old story of trying to
aerve two masters. Any legis-
lation which is for the benefit of
the people is promptly forbidden
by their moneyed masters, while
every piece of legislation which
¡a directly for the benefit of the
trusts and monopolies, is just
driving one more nail in the coffin
which will be exhibited in 1898
and used in 1900. Verily, the
way of the republican politician
ia hard.
The democrats in both house
and senate are open and above
board in their expressions
t n every subject of importance,
and, as they are the represen-
tatives of the people only, their
views necessarily make their
positions and that of the party
stronger each day, as the people
make a comparison between the
actions and that of the party who
buncoed them into putting them
at the helm of this great nation,
in November 1896.
It will probably be many years
