USCOURT CALLED TOORDER
Judge Bruce Arrived in the City
 Shortly After Noon.
GRAND JURY ORGANIZING
Equity Docket Will Be Called This Morning and Cases Set-Preminary Work
 of the Term.

The United States circuit court for the spring term of 1898 was called to order at 12SO o'clock yesterday afternoon, upon the arrival of Judge John Bruce, from Mont gomery.
 Quite a large crowd was present, the court room being nearly filled.
 The following attendants were named: R. R. Hooker, crier; John c. Carey, bailiff in the charge of the grand jury; Henry c. West and J. M. Hinds, court bailiffs; Trim ble Broadway, court messenger.
 The first business before the court was the organization of a grand jury
 Eighteen names were called and thirteen persons answered, and were ordered into the jury box for organization. Those who had excuses to offer why they should not serve were told to read them to the court
 Four of the thirteen persons were ex- cused for good reasons, leaving nine. It was decided to draw twelve names from the clerks office to complete the jury, which was done, and until the summons were served upon them the nine grand jurors were excused.
 The work of organizing the petit juries was begun. Fifteen persons qualified and Jury No. 1 was empanelled. The remain ing jury will be completed this morning.
 The equity docket will be called this morning, and all attorneys are requested to be present, in order that the cases may be set down for hearing, and for the pur- pose of obtaining orders therein.
 The criminal docket has been set to oc- rupy the time of the court up to the 23d Inst. The civil docket will commence

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 A glance at the past shows how slight.
 if at all, are radical changes. Outside of
 religion there is possibly no such thing.
 Politics does not escape this truth. The
 election of the president and the congress
 of today, in harmony with one another,
 was brought about by the operation of the
 identical principles that prevailed at the
 two most critical stages of the govern ment's life. The most eminent represent atives of those respective periods standing in relief by character and surroundings from the rest wei e Washington and Linco Il.
 Washington, as general in the field, was in
 a measure dictator to the continental and
 confederate congresses. His will was law, and it was necessary that it should be so.
 When Lincoln became president his con- gress like McKinley's, was in harmony with and supported him. Buchanan had realized the advantage of a similar condi- tlon. With his retirement, the political as- pect changed completely. Another set of principles had become operative, the last full expression of which was in the cleo ton of November, 1896.
 The restoration of the democratic party
 through Cleveland was something quite ex-
 traordinary, bordering apparently on the
 miraculous. Naturally, there was more or
 less supineness with the opposition, just
 as there had been at the first congressional
 restoration when Grant was president. In
 both instances Blaine was the man to go down before the restored strength of the democrats, Kerr triumphing over him in the contest for the speakership, as Cleve- land did in that for the presidency. The principles which the executive depart ment of the government was conducted from Lincoln down to Cleveland necessarily came again into operation with the admin istration of Harrison. That was more of a restoration of what had been than the inauguration of a new order of things It was not, of course, retention of power, | but it was reassumption of 1t after but | short interval. It was logical to believe | that the principles of government which | had been tested to the greatest possible ad | vantage for a quarter of a century were | permanently restored. But the logic was | at fault in so far it considered perma- l nency without taking into account the | price of it. All the world over, in every | sphere of life, we get only what we pay | for There seems to be no exception to | this Robert Louis Stevenson need not

A PLACE ON THE TICKET
FOR NAMES OF STRAIGHT.OUT
POPULISTS
The Secretary of State Decides That tho
California Fusion Nominees Are
Not Populists

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Sept. H-Secre-
tary OF State Brown today handed down
his decision in the matter OF the contest
between the Peoples party, the fusion ele-
ments Of that organization, with the DEM
ocratic party and Silver Republican nomi-
nees.
Secretary Brown, in referring to the GER
tifcate presented to him for filing by Ed
ward l.. Hutchinson, chairman, and H. j.
Gregory, secretary, and his refusing to
file the same, among other things says:
1.-The Peoples party convention, as orig
inally convened July 12 1898, ceased to be
la convention of said party by reason of Its
abandonment of the distinctive party name
of the Peoples party accomplished by fu-
sion with the Democratic party; in failing
to exercise its right to name State ticket,
but instead delegatlng to the Democratic
party and Silver Republicans the right to
name all but three of it's nominees for
State and two for district Offices"
Secretary Brown says that while the
call for the convention said that twenty
six candidates were to be nominated. only
seven nominations were in fact made.
The decision of Secretary of State Brown,
which Is quite a lengthy one gives to the
"Middle-of-the-Road" Populists the right
to a place on the ticket with ShanaTan as
their nominee, instead OF comforting The
| same privilege upon those Populists who
first convened on July 18th.

Associated Press Special Wire.

NEW YORK, Sept. H.-Surgeon Stern
berg has called attention to some addition.
nj features in the report made BY, Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Smart concerning the cond!.
tion Of Camp Wikoff. Colonel Smart is in
charge OF the sanitary division OF the Sur
geon-General's office and professor OF hy-
gene In the Army Medical School. He has
had great experience in water analysis and
Is regarded as an expert. He was sent by
General Sternberg to make a sanitary in
spect.on of the camp and report on the
conditions. The conditions 10 which Gen.
eral Sternberg calls attention are as fol-
lows:
THE first subject that attracted my at
tention on arrival at the hospital was the
utterly PROSTATE condition Of some of the
men, furloughed at the intervention OF
fMends who desired to remove them &c
their homes No doubt much pressure was
