He PLEAD IN VAIN.-Winfeld S.
Jefferson, whose bride of a day jumped
from window of the Atlantic Hotel,
in Chicago yesterday to escape him,
pleaded with her at police headquar-
tiers that he did not care for her money,
but loved her for herself alone, and
tried to induce her to accompany him
to his ranch in Oregon. This the wom-
an declined to do, and informed Jetfer-
son in very plain terms that she never
wished to see him again. Jefferson
left, stating that he did not know what
he would do. Mrs Jefferson has part

SINCE Mr.. Speaker Crisp's visit TO the
President-clect, it seems that change
has come over the spirit Of his dreams
on the extra session question. Before
that visit he said majority ofthe mem
bers of Congress were in favor of an
carly extra session of that body, in or
der that the promises made to the peo-
pie during the late campaign might be
fulfilled as soon as possible. Now he
saws he doesn't think there will be an
extra session until next September.
And vet Mr.. Cleveland has been sup
posed to be the embodiment and per-
soniGcation of the low tariilidea. Why
September, certainly the most sickly,
and often one of the hottest months OF
the wear in Washington, should be Sc
lected as the time for converting the eX-
ira session, and only three months in
advance of the commencement OF the
regular term, may be plain TO such tar
iffreformers as Mr. Cleveland and Mr..
Crisp, but unquestiOnably it is just the
reverse TO Others, who are not OF that

Secretary Fosters Plans.

y
The New York Times states that
Secretary of the Treasury Fosters trip
to that city was not on private business,
as was given out officially, but was for
the purpose of consulting Wall street
magnatcs on the proposition to relieve
the money market and check the cX-
port of gold by having the government
issue from $j0,050.090 TO $l00,000,O00
Of bonds. The Wall street men were
in favor of the scheme and the specuia-
tive contingent were in high feather.
The Presidents cooperation had
been counted OH as sure, but this conf
dence was suddenly discovered to be
delusive. The President not only re-
fused to approve the deal, but he went
further, and expressed himself with
unusual force, and declared that he
could see no excuse for issuing bonds,
and what was more, he did not propose
that any should be issued while he was
President.
According to Wall street reports,
Secretary Foster, before he suddenly
left town to go West, is credited with
having received dispatch from Wash
ington couched in pretty stiff language,
and running substantially rs follows ::
~ want no new bonds issued under my adj
ministation. Take no steps. Do nothing
Il. HARRISON"
The Times says Mr.. Foster met the Wall
street men Mt clubhouse ga Fifth avenue
and a prolonged conference was held. Some
of the most notable men in the street are said
to have been present, and an agreement was
formed on the financial policy of the govern
ment The action of President Harrison up
set their plans entirely, and there is now no
prospect of an issue of bonds to stop the
stringency in the money market.

IN HONOR OF Miss WINNIE DAVIS
Miss Winnie Davis, "the daughter of
the Confederacy," is visiting friends in
New York. Last night Mr.. VIM. P. St.
John gave an elaborate theater party
in her honor. The details of the affair
were arranged by the bachelor host to
make the compliment complete. 1t was
a special point that no person who had
lived in the South and no descendants
of southerners were invited, thus max
ing the party representative of only
northern sympathizers. The company
met at Sherry's at 7:45. Thence they
took carriages to Daly's Theatre, to
enjoy Ada Rehan in 'As You Like 1t. "
At the conclusion of the play the party
retired to Sherry's to enjoy supper.

JEFFERSONIAN IDEAS.
Democrats Talk Much of Them Without
Clearly knowing Why.

Something was said by the banquet
ing democrats between shouts for
Cleveland about ''Jeffersonian prin-
ciples," and about the Jeffersonian
favoring in Cleveland's character and
a return to ''Jeffersonian principles"
1t is customary for the democrat on
festive occasions to offer many bumpers
of wine as ibatious to the shade of the
sage of Monticello. a good many dem
ocrats do not know what Thomas JEFF
ferson believed They have hay
idea that jefferson was a free trader,
and they are right The adoption Of
Jeffersoniau free trade principles as
jefferson really entertained and
nourished them would extirpate the
last vestige of the protective system
in this country and destroy the mag
nifcent industrial results of the pro-
tec:ive policy. which are rapidly max
ing US the leading manufacturing ma
ton of the world James Parton, in
his tribute to jefferson some years
aga. said jefferson would be a more
positive and sweeping free trader even
than he was in his own lifetime IL he
was living now.

ocrat vince. Jefferson, to his credit be
it said, was opposed to bossism, 80 he
was opposed to the hereditary principle,
and he would have had no sympathy
with the Doran democracy of Mime
sofa or the Tammany democracy of
New York. He was believer in state
rights to the disintegrating extent, but
the democracy since the occurrences of
of 1s6f-65 has been forced to relinquish
this ''Jeffersonian principle" and for
his doctrine of popular interference
there is comparatively little democratic
fealty since. after a deal of talk about
the honors of a centralized federal gov
eminent, the democrats have not only
in congress aided in the tendency to
greater Capitalization. essential in such
vast government and country as our
wn, but applauded the accidental adj
ministration of Cleveland. who accepted
the anti-Jeffersonian principle that a
government of laws must have the
principle of energy and coercion JEFF
ferson's dogma of popular interference
had the strong tendency to lead the
nation back to the chaos of the old con-
federacy.
When democrats talk about Jeffer-
sonian principles it is well for them to
ascertain exactly what those principles
were. Jackson didn't act under them,
Van Buren, didn't, Tyler didn't, Polk
didn't, Buchanan didn't, Cleveland
didn't.
And, after all, what was the result Of
the jefferson administration?
The legislative committee of Massa-
chusetts said in January, 1909:
''Our agriculture is discouraged. The
fisheries abandoned. Our commerce at
home restrained, if not annihilated-
Our commerce abroad cut off. Our
navy sold, dismantled, or degraded to
the service of cutters or gunboats- The
revenue extinguished. The course of
justice interrupted. And the nation
weakened by internal animosities and
divisions, at the moment when it is IN
necessarily and improvidently exposed
to war with Great Britain, France and
Spain"

ciples?"- Minneapolis Journal.

DOCTORING IN PATAGONIA.
The Funny Treatment Employed BY the
Native Doctors.

When a child in Patagonia is i'll, a
messenger is dispatched for the doctor,
and never leaves him until he comes
As soon as the doctor arrives he looks at
the sick child. and then, with much
ceremony, rolls it up in piece Of skin.
He then orders a clay plaster, and by
this time the child has ceased crying.
soothed by the warmth of the skin, and
so renders still more solid his reputation
as wise man. Yellow clay is brought
and made into a thick cream with wa
ter, and the child is painted from head
70 foot, causing him to cry again
The evil spirit is still there, says
the doctor, sagely. and undOes two mys-
terious packages he carries; one con-
tains rhea sinews and the other a rattle
made of stones, in a gourd decorated
with feathers. He then fingers the
sinews, muttering something for few
minutes, then he seizes the rattle and
shakes it violently. staring very hard at
the crying child. then wraps it in the
skin again and it ceases crying.
Again it is painted, ratified at, and
stared at, and again it cries This is
done four times, and then the cure is
considered complete. The doctor leaves
the child quiet, embodied in the warm
skin, and goes his way, having received
two pipefuls of tobacco as his fee.
Strange TO say, the child generally re-
covers. but if 1t does not, the doctor gets
out of the difficulty by declaring that
the parents did not keep the medicine
skin tightly round the child, and so let
the spirit get back again This is the
ONLY treatment that children in Pata-
gonna. however i'll, are ever known to
receive. -Yankee Blade.

rtes Dem ocracy.
Senator Vest, who has been a little
doubtful recently as TO Mr.. Cleveland's
chances, now thinks that his nominal
ton is inevitable. The change in his
opinion has evidently come about with
in the past week or two. He is dubious
still about Cleveland's ability to carry
New York in the election, while con-
ceding that the democrats cannot win
without that state. This is the position
of nine out of every ten of the thought
full members of the senator's party,
whatever may have been their notions
as to the relative strength of the va
rious aspirants heretofore or whatever
may be their personal preferences now
They see that there is but one man in
the race for the candidacy at Chicago.
Hill is an impossibility, and no western
man has Yet developed sufficient
strength TO make him a formidable
competitor for the nomination, and
none is likely to. Cleveland's candidacy
is conceded now in his party on all
hands, and his success on the first bal
lot is assured. This is the situation, as
the great bulk of the reasonable men in
the party view the matter. He will be
nominated in spite of New York if that
state opposes him. But what about
New York IN the election? This is
consideration which gives pause to the
most sanguine and enthusiastic demo-
crat. Most of the democrats fear that
Cleveland will be weak in the state, vet
the logic of the situation will compel
the party to nominate him and take all
the risks which this act involves.
The outlook, that is to say, is not
very encouraging to the democrats. In
regard to the nomination fate has
marked out course for them from
which they are not at liberty to depart
They feel that in the country at large
Cleveland is the strongest man whom
they could select. The masses of the
party, if they are not shouting for him.
at least prefer him to anybody else. If
they cannot win with him they are con-
WINGED that they cannot win at all.
But right here the startling query pre-
sents itself to the democrats as to what
will New York do in the canvass The
can be carried for Cleveland
without the vote of New York, but that
states vote is absolutely necessary to
his election. 1t is within the scope of
probability that the republicans may
win without that state, but everybody
is convinced that it is absolutely essen
tial to democratic success. Here is the
reflection that blasts all democratic
hopes of victory. This is the Banquo
ghost which disturbs and distracts dem
Ocratic councils. Nor would Hills
formal withdrawal from the contest
mend matters much. He could. and
perhaps will, step out of the race of his
own volition, and release the New York
delegates from their pledge to vote for
him in Chicago, but there still will re-
main the reflection that that desperate
and INSCRIPTIONS demagogue would Sc
cretly knife Cleveland, as many demo-
Gratis believe he did in 1855, and bring
