GTJES ANSWERS RESOLUTION.
Says He is Proud of His AngIO-Saxon

MILWAUKEE. Wis, August l"-Repre-
sentative Theodore Often of the fourth dis
trict has written a letter to Adolph Me
derpruem. who was president OF the Ger
man American mass meeting held in De-
troit June %. in answer to resolutions
passed at the meeting. Among other
things, he said:
AS an American citizen of German ORR
gin I am not willing to draw my inspira-
ton from 50 narrow and unfair partisan
as Representative Lentz of Ohio. who
seems to have been the chief spokesman at
the meeting at which these resolutions
were adopted.
BY the resolutions you say that you
especially protest against alliance with
England. I do not think that we need get
excited over this, for | do not know of any
one who is seriously advocating formal
written alliance with England only
friendly alliance.
Those Ge~man-Arerican citizens who
oppose friendly and cordial relations be
tween the two countries, according to my
judgment, are decidedly in the wrong. The
resolutions say You protest against the at
tempt 10 stamp the people OF the United
States as an 'Anglo-Saxon.' and that
Communications you do not care to be
called Anglo-Saxons.'
Technically, it is true that German
Americans are not Anglo-Saxcns. but in
reality they are. 'Anglo-Saxon' simply
means a person If English s. xon blood.

LOUISIANA DEMOCRATS.
Stand on the Chicago Platform and
Opposed to Holding Philippines.

Representative Meyer of Louisiana says
he thinks the Louisiana delegation to the
next democratic national convention will
be in line with the Chicago platform.
Our people," he said to a Star reporter
this morning. ARE interested principally
in their crops, the price of cotton and mat
tiers relating to the business prosperity Of
the state. In New Orleans there is a local
political fight over the municipal officers
which has some interest on account of the
influence it may have in the state election
next year. which involves the election of
two senators. The issues in the municipal
contest are purely local, involving the
question of good administration, etc 1t is
fight between the outs" and the ''ins."
Looking forward to next year, there Is
night against our present governor Fos-
ter. who Will be Il candidate for the SEN
ate. There will be quite a contest over the
two senatorships. and YOU cannot tell
this far ahead how it will go. It is said
that Gallery will not be a candidate to
succeed himself
''Nill the money question be an issue in
the senatorial contest?' was asked.
NO, | think not. | do not believe there
will be any idea of electing senator's who
DO not support the Chicago platform. The
men elected may not think that the pros
perity of the country depends on having
the free coinage of silver. but they will
be men who stand by the party and accept
its platform"
What sort of delegation will be sent
from Louisiana to the democratic national
convention?'
"A Chicago platform delegation. What
ever differences of opinion there may be
among our people, they will stand by the
party. They do not want republican ad-
miniStration.''
what is the sentiment in Louisiana on
the expansion question:"
IT Is opposed to the annexation of the
philippines. The people of Louisiana want
thls government to get out of the difficulty
with dignity and honor but do not believe
IN acquiring territory far off in the Pacific"

In his appearance and came Into the house,
where several small children had been left
in charge. After taking two Ievolvers and
razor from his pockets he placed them
upon table and demanded some dinner
of the eldest child who is about thirteen
years old.
The child, who was well acquainted with
Galloway, became alarmed and started to

she returned and placed food on the table
for him After eating heartily he filled his
pockets with what remained. and after tell
ing the children to say nothing of his visit

the same woods, was also paid visit by
Galloway Friday morning. He was furnish
ed with his breakfast, the woman fearing
to refuse him.

hey at Laurel in reference to his hiding

no doubt offer desperate resistance before
he is captured
The hiding place of the murderer is in
the large pine woods near Riverdale and in
the rear of the residence of Mr.. Benjamin

WHO IS BEHIND VAN WYCkf
Brooklyn Eagle Says His Boom Is OF
Others Making.

The Brooklyn Eagle, whose editor, St.
Clair McKelway, is "a friend of Judge Van
Wyck prints the following editorial:
The Eagle would like to know who the
man is in hiding behind the personality
of ex-Judge Augustus Van Wyck, and for
whom sundry democrats of the south and
west are putting forth not Unaffected Ell
forts Is it A. P. German of Maryland?
Not very probable is the idea that a
resident of this state, which has so long
gone republican, is seriously regarded by
sane politicians as a democratic candidate
for President. Not very probable Is the
idea that Mr. Van Wyck, who did not carry
the state in 1898. is regarded or will be re-
garded as a political eligibility of desira-
bilty in that relation. Not very probable
is the idea that any candidate will be
presented by the democracy to the ST.
frages of the nation whose nomination
would have to carry with 1t the over
weighing initiative of Tammany Hall
handicap.
therefore, who is in reserve? Who is to
be the beneficiary of the liberties wantonly
being taken with Judge Van Wycks name,
time. character, claims and rights? What
southerner or westerner is kept back as
the intended heir at the opportune moment
of the natural collapse of the movement
around Mr.. Van Wyck's name?
1.-The townsnen Of Judge Van Wyck have
a right to know who the man is. These
southern politicians and these western
wire pullers were not born yesterday, and
they are not making more or less decent
exposure of their wares and of their words
40 men who were born day before yester-
day They are trifiing or they are inane.
augustus Van Wyck is not a candidate
for President, in his; own mind, or in the
minds OF his friends. No one has war
rant for him to use him as a stalking
orse, a make-weight, spring5oard, a
proxy. or whatnot, for any one else. lie is

Drunk and Di.orderly Cats.

From the Greenup (Ky) Democrat
A most exciting cat fight occurred recent

ably to discuss plans by which they could

while large tomcat was making an i'm

to attempt to quel the riot, as the cats
seemed perfectly wild. After a few min
utes they ceased from sheer exhaustion,
and three cats lay stone dead, the others
staggering on to their various homes.
They presented such an appearance of in
toxication that George Notes, the barber,
made an investigation, and found that the
cats had been drinking beer which had been
left in key in the corner Of the room. He
determined to watch the key, and late that
evening saw a cat walk into the room and
slyly creep to the key, where it drank UNI

The disposition of the Lake City S. c.,
post office controversy is still undecided,
despite contrary reports. The suggestion
to re-establish the Office and appoint a
white woman as postmaster was tenta-
tive one, and while that course may be
pursued no decision has been reached. A
new factor in the case is an adverse re-
port of an inspector against re-establish-
ing the office. The case was under discus
sion at Champlan between President Nc
kinley and Postmaster General Smith, but
without result.

MAY REDUCE IT'S CLERKS.
One Bureau of the War Department
VIII Gail for Smaller Appropriation.

The estimates of the various bureaus of
the War Department for the next fiscal
year, with one exception, show a gradual
increase in the annual expenses, mainly on
account of the increased work due to the
conduct of the war in the Philippines.
The exception is the record and pension
Office. General Ainsworth, the head of that
large and important bureau, will report to
the Secretary of War that the condition of
the business of the Office will Justify a re-
duction of the force by thirty clerks and a
decrease of $50. 600 in the annual expense
account. This result is brought about
mainly through the adoption of the card
index system and is partly attributable to
the absorption by the record and pension
office of the work Of publishing the records
of the war of the rebellion. The work of
the war records office is nearly completed
and the few volumes necessary to close up
the work are nearly ready for publication.
II is said that the addition of the records
of the Spanish war to those previously as
signed to the record and pension office Will
not add materially to the burdens of the
office

4 Large Number OF Suspects Inaprison-

The latest advices from Minister Powell

imminent But beyond this there has been
no confirmation OF the unofficial reports
that the government was expelling many
SUSPECTS from the island. 1t is said, how
ever. that this course is rather in line with
a prevailing policy in Haiti. Thus far all
the prosecutions and arrests in Haiti have
been of Hatiens, and no American citizen
is involved For that reason explosions
from the island are recognized as entirely
a domestic matter it being conceded that
