BADLY BROKEN.
what with CIass,fed Jefferson Din
Bers, Etc. the Democrats Are
in IA Bad Way.

Three or four Jeffersonian dinners
will occur in New York city in a 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 other democratic faction should
win. These are the factions run by the
Crokerites and Bryanites, 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 democrat. The Crokeritcs con
gratulate 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. Altgeld
is an implacable, and he stands for the
Bryanite section of his party in this
melee.
The democratic party has been in eX-
istence for 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 a 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
resented by Altgeld in his stand again st

WITHOUT AN ISSUE.
Struggles of the Democracy TO Hatch
Out Something to Make
n Fight Over.

Leading democrats are credited with
the purpose and intention of making
Down with the Trusts" their battle
cry in the next national campaign anc
relegating not only the distinctive
Bryan planks, but also anti-eXpansion
into places of small importance
Whether this effort to give the trust
issue special prominence involves the
sidetracking of William j. Bryan may
be doubted. The wellknown elasticity
and agility of the Nebraskan viii per
NIT him to do the bidding of the con
vention with the utmost cheerfulness
He stands ready to drop anything, or te
exploit anything, which the majority
of the regular" delegates may decide
to abandon or take up, as the case may
be. His latest epistle to Perry Belmont
restates his creed. The right to de.
termine what is democratic, in party
sense" he says, belongs to the demo
cratic party. IT," he continues, "a mi.
nority of the delegates to the national
convention, representing a minority OF
the members of the democratic party,
has a right to determine what is demo
cratic, then each member of the party
has a right to define democracy for
himself and to assert that he is a better
democrat than anyone else"
In other words, individual democrats
can have no principles, no settled be.
liefs, no personal Interpretation OF
party history and party records. Mr..
Bryan thus makes it clear that sixteen
to one is not dear enough to him to war
rant any political sacrifices. He will
stand by it till the next national con-
vention overhauls the party platform
and decides the future of the silver is.

all the demcc;Ncs 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 tis
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
raey. A powerful section of tie 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 a minority party to have any
feuds with itself hard enough to injure
its 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 it's 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 refrained 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 repub-
Gcan 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 dcnunciation of democrat
ic marplots and traitors.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

HE WAS ONCE A GUERILLA.
Gen. Rodriguez Is Appointed Chief OF
Havana's POlice-Cuban Soldiers &c
Get About S75 Apiece.

Havana, April 19.-Aleiand Rodri-
guez has been appointed chief of police
of Havana to succeed Mario Menocal
who resigned yesterday. Rodriguez
holds the rank of major general in the
Cuban army and is chief of staff to
MaXimo Gomez. He is considered,
moreover, second to Gomez alone in
.he affections of the Cuban soldiers,
The new nomination is approved by
Cubans and Spaniards alike. The Uni
ted States military authorities, who
knew Rodriguez well, think they have
at last found a man strong enough to
discipline the force.
Rodriguez, who was wounded three
times during the last insurrection, was
spirited fighter, a guerrilla chief OF
extraordinary activity. In 1896 with
1875 horsemen he raided Guines, then
occupied by 300 Spaniards, and carried
off Col Naldaveza, the Spanish COM
mandcr. Menocal retired because he
feels ne has not accomplished what the
people of Havana and the American au-
thorities had expected of him.

ment William viii be found ready tc
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-
istence. 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 beiLg z
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 monopolistic trustes.
1t will discriminate between the legiti-
mate consolidation which benefits the
consumer and oppressive combination
which artificially 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
terial-ChicapO Post.
