REUNION OF RELATIVES.
Some time this week, Mrs. Pierce Nor
ton of Indianapolis, will arrive in the
city to visit her sister, Mrs. D. T. Den
mis-, who resides over the Fourth Ma

and with Miss Nellie Dennis, daughter of
Mrs. D. T. Dennis, they all will go to
California to spend the summer. Mrs.
Norton is the wife of Judge Norton, for
many years judge of the criminal court
of the city of indianapolis. This will be
the first reunion of these three sisters in
many years; all look forward to it with
anticipations of great pleasure.

Three or four Jeffersonian dinners

days. all representing different ele-
ments of the democratic party, and two
of them representing factions which
would prefer that the republican party

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

The democratic party has been in ex-

unity. The indications now are that

all the democrats who voted for Har-
rison. This was the spirit shown by
Bryan i'm his letter to Belmont when he
assailed the latter for supporting Palm
er in ls0G. In Bryan's own wing OF the
party he appears TO be far ahead OF all
other possible nspirants. Moreover,
that wing will accept no fellowship with
any other faction of the democrats ex-
cept on an abject surrender 20 what Alt
geld calls the Chicago platform democ-
raey. A powerful section of Tic de-
mocracy in the west aud south seem
disposed 10 cling 10 Bryan through evil

sequences TO their porty in the present
and the. future.
IL was formerly thought 10 be impos-
sible for minority party to have any
feuds with itself hard enough to injure
its chances 10 win, IL 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 il
the republicans had made as many
plumbers as democrats had predicted
they would make, but which they care
fully refraincd from committing. Yet
the democrats have now taken steps 10
break themselves up into NJ least two
sections In 1000. Each side refuses 20
recognize the other as belonging 20 the
democratic faith. Each desires rcpub-
lican victory rather than the triumph
OF the other element. At the dinners

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 30 stop
the progress OF monopolistic combina-
ton or to suppress trusts already in ex-
istence. IL can only proceed against
trusts that restrain Interstate COM
