Merrill faced about and watched

woman was Erma. He expected her
to enter the Ralston lot. but she only
paused. waved her hand toward the
dower-hidden graves. said something
to her attendant and passed ON her way
until she stood beside the undecorated
grave.
Fremont rubbed his eyes and stared.
The lady motioned to negro to lay
his fragrant burden down.
Merrill hastened up the path. He
was near enough to hear the well-re-
membered voice say. You may 60.

THE KUkLux kLAN.

The Original white.Caps Are Soon TO
Hold q ReunioA
Some time soon the famous Kuklux
Khan will hold reunion in Atlanta, Ga.
Only the members of the organization
know the exact date Of the meeting.
The Kuklux Klan was the most form
idable organization ever formed In this
country for the purpose Of Furnishing
crime outside the courts. When first or
ganized the object was to protect life and
property among the law-abiding class
from the ruthless depredations Of the out
laws who infested the country. Such
was the chaotic condition Of affairs In
the South following the close Of the civil
war that nobody felt secure, so the
originators Of the klan determined to ad-
minister swift and speedy justice to such
criminals as deserved punishment, and
the penalty was graduated according to
the character of the crime.
While at the beginning II undoubtedly
exercised a salutary influence In quell-
ing the lawless element, and In the pro-
lection Of life and property, still by de-
grees unscrupulous men took advantage
of the terrible and mysterious reputation
of the Kuklux Klan to avenge them
selves upon those for whom they had
conceived an enmity, and it finally degen-
Grated into a gang Of desperadoes that
were worse than the element which 1t
sought to punish.
1t was no infrequent occurrence dur
ing the latter days Of the klan for some
peaceful citizen to be taken from his
home and maltreated by a gang Of ruff
fans led by some member who had de-
cided that it would be for his personal
gain that the citizen should be made to
leave the community. Many were the
dark deeds Of violence done under cover
Of the night and under the cloak Of the
Klklux Klan long after the more respec-
table class that originally belonged to 1t
had withdrawn in disgust and had Joined
in the effort to atone for past errors by
assisting in putting down the klan and
bringing the perpetrators Of such deeds
to Justice.

DEMOCRATS TO ACT EARLY.
May Hold National Conve n tion in Feb
ruarv or March. 1000.

May Hold National Conve n tion in Feb
ruary or March, 1000.
The next Democratic convention may
be held as early as February and not
later than March, 1900. A Chicago dis
patch says that sentiment among party
leaders has been crystal!izing in favor of
an early convention, and it may find ex-
preston at q meeting of the national
committee. which will be held in Wash
ington very soon after Congress convenes
In December. Ex-Governor Stone of
Missouri, as acting chairman of the COM
mittee and probable manager of the cam
paign of 1900, is the originator of the
plan for holding the convention in Feb
ruary or March.
The underlying motive for holding an
early convention is to enable the men
who will have to shoulder the response
bility of conducting next years battle,
to raise money. By holding the conclave
IN February or March, nominating Mr..
Bryan for President, selecting q running
mate for him and adopting a platform,
Ex-Governor Stone is convinced that the
intervening time until September, when
the actual campaign will be begun, can
be profitabiy employed raising fund
big enough to enable the national COM
mitee to make a handsome showing.
Mr.. Bryan, it is understood, favors the
plan. Mr.. Bryan is regarded as the
nominee now. The choice Of his running
mate will be largely a matter of ex-
pediency.

Repeated Drubbings by American Sol
diers Not Effective.
A press dispatch from Manila sent by
way Of Hong Kong gives views and
statements not appearing In the Official
cables. 1t Is stated that the Filipino
rebels appear to retain much more Of q
fighting spirit than might be expected
after their recent San Fernando expert
ences and General Lawton's drubbings
In the south. After giving up San Fer
nando with a feeble struggle they In
trenched themselves at Angeles, working
for several days, and impressing noncom-
batants into the work, thus saving the
armed men for fighting. They engaged
Lieutenant Colonel Smiths regiment and
the artillery warmly for four hours, max
ing one Of the most stubborn resistances
Of the campaign. But the Americans are
indebted to the usual poor Workmanship
Of the Fflipinos as well as to their own
strategy for their small losses.
|, In the Province of Cavfte, where 1t
was supposed the rebels had been scat
tered and demoralized beyond recupera-
tion, they have assembled an army Of
several thousand men, distributed among
the important towns from the lake to the
bay.
After the San Fernando engagement
the rebels attempted to deter the Ameri-
cans from further advance northward
by menacing the railroad communica-
| tions. Several hundred Of General Pho
del Pillars men crossed the Rio Grande
between the American outpost towns and
threatened Baliuag, Quingua and other
places with small American garrisons,
while during Sunday and Monday nights
smaller bands tried to tear up the rail-
road tracks at several points between
Bigaa and Malolos. Re-enforcements Of
American troops, however, were sent
| along the railroad from Manila to San
Fernando, while the forces at Baliuag
and Quingua sailed out against General
Pho del Pillars men and the rebels were
| easily driven away. In brushes between
| these Filipinos and the Americans dur
Ing three days the Americans lost sew
| eral men, while the Filipinos' loss was
heavy.
or these operations the press corre-
| spondent was permitted to send only an
inadequate dispatch, dictated verbatim
by Major General Otis. The censor
writes stereotyped official phrases and
adjectives into the dispatches tending to
magnify the opposition. General Otis

tions, but private enterprises, and the
