THE POPULIsT VOTE
Has decreased 24o Per Cent. in Three
Years.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-S8nator Elk
ms gave a dinner last night to a mum
Der of members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. There were also
present other prominent politicians of
the party. Among those in attendance
were: Chairman Carter, J.. S Clarkson.
of Iowa; J. FL. Manley, of Maine
Powell Clayton, Of Ark8naa@; " Iliam
J. Campbell, of Illinois; G. A. Hobart,
of New Jersey; Samuel Fessenden, Of
Connecticut, and Senator Quay, OF
Pennsylvania.
It was not intended that the meeting
should be in the interest of any candi
date, and among the gentlemen present
there were friends of all candidates.
During a discussion Of party measures
Chairman Carter took occasion to say
that he did not think it wise for the
Republicans to be too confident, Al
though it was apparent that victory
was in the air, he said that there were
reasons why it was not well to be Opt,
mistic to a degree of carelessness.
He thought the grave questions be-
fore the country might we'll aus the
Republicans to pause and reflect. The
Pr sident had placed himself squarely
in favor of retiring the credit money
of the country. 1t wRs pOs slble that
the financial centres of the country
agreed with him. There was no doubt
that a course of that kind, if pursued,
would make Populist votes. Mr.. Garter
called attention to what he styl' d the
remarkable growth of the Populist
vote. He said that it had increased
24O per cent. during the past three
years. The great growth had not been
developed in the national legislature,
8 there were less Populists in the
House now than in the Fifty second
Congress, but the vote in the d ferent
elections showed a Populistic increase
which it was we'll for the Republicans
to take into consideration.
Mr.. Carter was charged with being a
pessimist, and different members of
the committee said that with a platform
enunciating straight Republican prin-
ciples there could be no doubt of victory
with any Of the excellent men who
we're mentioned for the nomination to
head the ticket.

COMMITTEE
Republicans Have a Big Job OF Their
Hands Assigning New Members


WASHINGTON, Dec Both the Re-
publican and Democrat committees
appointed for the purpose of filing the
vacancies in the Senate committees,
met this afternoon at the Capitol.
The Republicans conducted their
conference with the utmost secrecy.
No conclusion of any kind was reached,
and the meetings will be held from day
to day, until committee arrangements
are ready to be submitted to the cauCus.
The large addition to the Republican
member ship of the Senate makes the
task of suitably and satisfactorily ad-
iusting the assignments q task not
easily performed. Those Senators like
Sherman, Morrill,, Allison, MITCHELL
and Aldrich, who have been chairman
of particular committees for several
years will retain their places. Where
q Senator is the ranking member of
two or more committees, he will be
permitted in accordance with the usage
of the Senate to select the chairman.
ship from his list that he prefers. The
difficulty arises in locating the new
men and re arranging those commit
tees, the membership of which has been
almost entirely Obliterated.
Every Republican Senator will re-
ceive q chain m4nship.
There are sixty standing and select
committees. OF these fifteen are given
to the minority, leaving forty five for
the Republicans. As there are but
forty two Republicans in the Senate
they can thus be easily accommodated
to saw nothing of a present Of three
chairmanships to Populists, if need be.
The silver men will doubtless nominate
the finance committee and will fill the
caused by the retirement Of
Mr.. Mcpherson.
There is also proposition to increase
the number of that committee by add
ing Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut, and if
this were done, Mr.. Plat, who is the
ranking man in three important COM
mitteee, would probably give way on
the most important of these and give
some of the new men a place. Hi
The Democratic committee also had
a conference, but came to no Conclue
sion. preferring TO wait and see what
the Republicans did.

HANDLING BURGLARS.
Some Suggestions in the Gentle Art.
Advantages of the Editha Method,

some SUGGESTIONS IN the Gentle AFts
Advantages of the Editha Method.
From the Boston Home Journal.
good way to handle a burglar is the
"Editha" method, as outlined in the Httls
one-act play which had so much vogue
here a few years ago. having been dram-
atized from Mrs. Burnett's story AL
you have to do is to keep a s-year-old
girl in the house. She must have golden
hair and appear to the burglar in her
night dress. saying to him in reassur-
ing tones: Don't be afraid. I WON'T
hurt you" Then ne will say: We'll.
I'll be doggoned." and will enter into
conversation with the child, the resulc
being that he viii find her TO be his own
daughter, whom he has deserted years
ago. On an easel will be a picture of his
wife, whom he left and then his heart
will be softened. He will leave the little
girl a knife and fork and spoon, and
will leave without disturbing you. carry
ing away nothing but 5000 in silver,
several hundred dollars worth of jew
elry and a grand piano, merely as me-
mento of how his better nature came 10
the front and made a man of him.
OF course, If you have no 9-year-old
ex-child of the burglar in the house, YOU

but the above Is the gentlest 1 can think
of. If you awake up suddenly with the
fash of a bull-eye lantern in your facs
and feel the cold muzzle of a revolver
at your temple while a hoarse voice
says: Make sound and I'll blow your
brains out" a good thing TO do is to
clap the burglar on the back and say,
Go ahead, old man. My wife says
haven't brains enough to last over
night, and l would like to show her that
she is wrong" That will discomfort him
for a moment, and you can then take
him down stairs and set out a good sup
per for him. Then show him where
everything is. help him pack is up. and
you will be all right.
Some men keep pistol in the housa
for the purpose of shooting burglars,
but the burglars usually take the pistol
first. Then a man has only his fists.
Now, If / should wake up some night
and see a burglar in the house / know
that I should burst into peals of laugh
ter for it would be a good joke. Ths
burglar might not see the point, at first,
but he would later and would realize
that the laugh was on him. But If, by
chance, there should be anything in the
house worth taking, and 1 should sec
