Chicago, September 1S.-Chicago will
be the working centre of the Democratic
National Committee during the campaign
in preparation for the next Presidential
election. This was decided on today at a
meeting of the Executive Committee here,
thus definitely settling the rumors that
the headquarters would be changed.
]. G. johnson, of Kansas, it was decided
vii have charge of the work, remaining
here in charge of the headquarters office.
Those present at the conference were:
Ex-Governor Stone, j. q, Johnson, j. NJ.
Head, of Tennessee; George Fred Will
liams, of Massachusetts; j. NJ. Guffey, of
Pennsylvania, and j. B. O'Brien, of Min
nesota.
We have discussed some plans for the
organization of our forces for effective
work, " sald ex. Governor Stone, in speak
ing of the meeting. "But as yet they are
so that an account of them would not en-
tighten the public"
To MEET EVERY SIXTY DAYS.
1t was decided that the members of the
Executive Committee meet in Chicago
every sixty days to co fer with Mr.. John
son and to aid him i carrying out our
plans"
The WAYS and Means Committee was
called together durihg the afternoon by
chairman John Il. Mclean, and the i'm
portant matter of financing the campaign
was discussed.
The Press Committee was also convened
by Mr.. Johnson, and plans looking the
effectiveness of that committee were talked
over. Mr.. Johnson and c. A. Walsh
were the only members, but Ex-Governor
Stone held the proxies Of Messrs. Troup,
of Connecticut, and Howell, of Georgia,
this making a quorum. Members of the
Press Committee were not disposed to dis
cuss the probabilities, though the majority
of inquiries were interested in the question
of the disposition to be made of Press
Agent p. j. Devlin. 1t is thought proba-
bic that the press arrangements for Chlca-
90 will be changed to degree, using the
attitude of the the local papers during the
last campaign as basis for reorganization.

Pardon.

Paris, September l9.-The Council o
Ministers decided today to pardon Dreyfu
in principle. The pardon will take effec
in few days.
Dreyfus has relinquished his appeal for
reversal of the judgement of the court
martial
The announcement that Dreyfus was tc
be pardoned had already been discounted
by predictions, and there was absolutely
no excitement displayed anywhere along
the boulevards when the newsboys rar
along at about 3:l5 p. m. with the first
editions containing the statement that the
cabinet had decided to pardon Dreyfus
The newspapers sold quickly, but there
was no rush for them upon the part ol
the Boulevardiers. Those \who bought
the papers sat down in front of the cafes
and read the announcement without COM
ment. Every one expected it, and the
decision met with no opposition.
The Droits Del'Homme, Socialist organ,
said: "Our task remains the same after
as before the liberation of Dreyfus to con-
tinue the campaign against all those who
are responsible for the lamentable affair
and unmask the forgers, traitors and false
witnesses, even though they may be cover
ed with glittering decorations"
"In principle" is in idiom sometimes
used in semi-circe announcements of
forthcoming action. 1t seems to have but
slight bearing on the matter, except, per-
haps, that it implies the fulflment of va
rious formalties, before the pardon with
slight tentativeness. 1t is not known yet
whether the pardon includes amnesty.

A CLEAN OF HOPE.

Still, it is realized there is possibility
that the insurgents may have become dis
heartened at the renewed and intense ac-
tivity in the direction of reinforcing Gen.
eral Otis, and concluded in view of the
great force gathering to open the campaign
in the dry season, that further resistance
would be useless.
1t is pointed out as noticeable fact
that Aguinaldo's name does not appear in
Generalf0tis dispatch, and though this
may not be of great significance, still
among some of the army officers it is sur
mised that there are serious dissensions
among the insurgents and perhaps some Of
the discordant elements are in this case
acting on their own responsibility.
lie text of the dispatch says:
Manila, September 10.
Adjutant General, Washington:
Macarthur reports from Angeles visit
of two insurgent officers with request for
permission to send into our lines Ameri-
can prisoners and to send to Manila prom
inent insurgent general officer for confer
ence. The requested interview granted
and insurgent officers at Angeles return
north this morning with information.

A man of the North side saw masculine

ON the sidewalk the other evening, hopeless

was about to pass on unheedful of his neigh
bor's misfortune when the story Of the good
Samaritan flashed across his mind and he
resolved for once to be charitably helpful.
He accosted the fallen one and assisted him
to his unsteady feet, and after much per-
sistent interviewing succeeded in ascertain
ing the number OF his home. Thither he
piloted his swaying companion and was re-
warded on the doorstep by volley OF

emphatically. 81 won't go in and take a

tipsy host, drowsiy. "But tell me your

As his eloquence and voice were waxing
in strength, the Samaritan thought it wis.

in compromise, turning to go down the

Next morning Mr.. Merritt was awak-
ened much earlier than usual by a loud
knocking at his door. His nerves were
not in very steady condition after
the champagne of the previous night,
and he felt angry at the vehemence OF
the girls knocking.
"What the devil do you mean by that
internal hammering?" he shouted.
"Oh dear, master, the house has been
burgled. All the plate has gone"
In a minute Mr.. Merritt was out of
bed and had dragged a few garments on
| him. He met Mrs. Merritt in tears on
the stairs.
"Oh, Bill, she sobbed, all my jewels
have been stolen. Whatever shall /

He dashed upstairs to the room where
his guest of the night before was sup
posed to be resting. He reeled back
thunderstruck when he saw that the
''haffable" young man had vanished.
"Good heavens, Maria," he screamed
''the scoundrel has been burglar,

BADLY BROKEN.
ners, Etc, the Democrats Are
In a Bad Way.

Three or four Jeffersonian dinners
will occur in New York city in II few
days, all representing different ele-
ments of the democratic party, and two
of them representing factions which
would prefer that the republican party
should sweep the country in 1900 than
that the INTERCHANGEABLE faction should
win. These are the factions run by the
Crokerites and Organizes, respect
lively. Another element of the New
York democracy, that representing the
old Cleveland wing of the party, is, ac-
cording to the latest reports, prepar-
ing to make an attack on both the
Crokerites and Bryanites, on the as
sumption that each is an enemy of true
democracy. Last week Altgeld, who
had the support of the national demo-
cratic committee, was beaten out of
sight by Harrison, who claims also to
be a democrat. The Crokeritcs con-
graduate Harrison. The Bryanites
condole with Altgeld. The latter de-
olares he will keep up the fight for what
he calls the Chicago platform democ-
racy, and very likely he will. Altge!d
is an implacable, and he stands for the
Bryanite section Of his party in this
melee.
The democratic party has been in ex-
stence for a good many years, but no
body ever saw it broken up into so
many fragments as it is at this moment.
1t has no leader anywhere who has the
faintest chance to join these frag-
ments into any sort of semblance of
unity. The indications now are that
if Bryan is defeated for the nomination
in the regular convention next year his
friends will put him up on an indie
pendent ticket. This is the spirit rep
resented by Altgeld in his stand against

ment William will be found ready to
lend his eloquence to any other cause
or thing that the wisdom of the jor-
ity shall bring forth.
But, with or without Bryan, there is
little promise of potency in the trust
issue from the democratic standpoint.
The national government can do very
little under existing legislation 10 stop
the progress of monopolistic combina-
ton or to suppress trusts already in ex-
istcnce. 1t can only proceed against
trusts that restrain interstate COM
merce, and against these it has sought
to enforce the law without fear or favor.
Everything that can be done is being
done, and the people. understand per-
fectly that the constitution bars the
way to more sweeping legislation.
The republican platform will not es
pouse the cause of monopolistie TRUSTEES.
1t will discriminate between the legiti.
mate consolidation which benefits the
consumer and oppressive combination
which artiticially raises prices and
throttles competition. 1t is highly
probable that the platform will con
tain distinct pledge to deprive trust
ridden industries of the protection af-
forded by the tariff. What more can
any party promise? What more can
congress do?
There is no political capital here for
the Bryan democracy or any other fac
ton of the party. The democrats are
without issues, and if they revive the
sixteen to one absurdity it will be be-
cause of a painful want of better ma.

all the democrats who voted for Har
rison. This was the spirit shown by
Bryan in his letter to Belmont when he
assailed the latter for supporting Palm
er in 1896. In Bryan's own wing of the
party he appears to be far ahead of all
other possible aspirants. Moreover,
that wing will accept no fellowship with
any other faction of the democrats eX-
cept on an abject surrender to what Alt
geld calls the Chicago platform democ-
raey. powerful section of Tic de-
mocracy in the west and south seem
disposed to cling to Bryan through evil
and good report, regardless on the con-
sequences to their party in the present
and the future.
1t was formerly thought to be impos-
sible for minority party to have any
feuds with itself hard enough to injure
it's chances to win, if there were any
chances. The present condition of the
democracy destroys this assumption.
The democratic party is far in the
rear in numerical strength, and in the
standing and ability of its leaders. 1t
was not strong enough at any time
since 1896 to carry the country, even if
the republicans had made as many
blunders as democrats had predicted
they would make, but which they care
fully refraincd from committing. Yet
the democrats have now taken steps to
break themselves up into at least two
sections in 1900. Each side refuses to
recognize the other as belonging TO the
democratic faith. Each desires rcpub-
lican victory rather than the triumph
of the other element At the dinners
in honor of Jefferson in New York this
week each branch of the party will
figuratively drive the other out of the
democratic communion. The members
of party which has no chance TO win,
and whose leaders recognize this fact,
are at liberty to speak their minds free
| lv regarding their enemies. In each of
the approaching dinners of mutually
hostile democrats there will be some
picturesque denunciation of democrat
ic marplots md traitors.-St. Louis

with the prospect of floating his com

slumping just little and he found IL
harder to dispose of his machines than
it used to be. Beside1, he had got
caught in the whirlpool of gambling

were one or two people in the city who
held paper from him.

companion YVES talking about millions
in way that made poor Norritt's head
fairly reel, and was making lightning
calculations on the tablecloth. Then
the two adjourned to the smoking
room, where liquors and cigars were
ordered. So agreeable did Mr.. Merritt
find the conversation and manner of
his host that he found it difficult to
drag himself away even when the clock
| struck five.
"Look here" he said, as he stepped
into the hanson which his companion
had considerably hailed for him. "You
must come out and spend tomorrow
night at Merritt lodge with me and
the missus. Come in time for dinner
and We'll put you up for the night"
"Delighted!" said the other, and Mr.
Merritt drove away with the impress

good fellow in his life.
The next night arrived, and with it
Mr.. Tooley, who very speedily insinu-
ated himself into the good graces of
Mrs. Merritt.
Such a haffable young man." she
said to Mr.. Merritt when their visitor
had departed for the night.
Merritt was delighted, and could
dream of nothing but millions all the
night. Visions of prospectuses, in

around the corner of the avenue and
pulled up little way from Mr.. Norritt's

some instructions to the driver, who
moved farther along the street. The
stranger who had aligted came up to
the ratings of Merritt lodge and gave
peculiar whistle. A few minutes more
and the hall door was gently opened
and Mr.. Norritt's visitor appeared, his
feet being minus boots
"Well," said the new arrival in a low
voice, 'got the swag?"
