National Committee Called for july

EX- Gov. STONE stated to the Post
Dispatch Monday that the difficulty in
the Democratic party in Illinois be-
tween the Altgeld and Harrison factions
would be adjusted without difficulty -
He averred that there was more talk
about friction than actual friction in
Illinois and based this statement on
what he found after personal inquiry
into affairs during a recent visit to
Chicago.
1t is surmised in political circles that
the meeting of the National Democratic
Committee, called by Gov Stone for
July 20, to be held in Chicago, is for the
specific purpose of hearing the reports
of the sub committees on the Illinois
feud and the proposed party organ to be
established in Chicago next fall.
Gov. stones statement about the
amicable settlement of the Altgeld.
Harrison differences will be taken as an
indication that the sub committee has
reached the same conclusion and will so
report on July 20,
! Gov. Stone stated that the general
purpose of the meeting was to begin the
party organization. He said he did not
know what had been done by the com
mittee towards establishing the organ
and press bureau.
Following is the call for the meeting
of the National Democratic Committee
at Chicago July 20:

The Van Buren press., 1899-07-08

was directed to forward to the Hon.
James K. Jones. chairman of the
national committee, for his considera-
| iton and action.
This resolution was accordingly for
warded to Senator Jones, who is now
absent from the country under the
direction of his physician, and he, hav-
ing concurred in the suggestion OF the
conference, has authorized and directed
me, as acting secretary of the committee
in the temporary absence in Alaska of
the Hon. c. A. Walsh, the regular
secretary, to call the committee to
meet in accordance with the resolution
referred to and adopted at st. Louis in
May.
You are hereby notified that the
Democratic National Committee will
meet in formal session for the purpose
stated at the ladies ordinary in the
Sherman House, in the City of Chicago,
at II o clock a. m. on Thursday, July
20, 1899, at which meeting You are

Gov. PINGREE, of Michigan, is for
Mckinley under certain conditions and
he states these tersely in the following
1.-The question whether I am for Nc
Kinley lies with the president, not with
me. If Gen. Alger knows that Presi
dent Mckinley is opposed to territorial
expansion, and is not an advocate of the
murders and the destruction being visited
upon the innocent Filipinos, he has a
right to say that am for Mckinley II
Gen. Alger is informed that Mckinley
is opposed to trusts and to legislation
which fosters creates and encourages
them, and in favor of legislation to re.
strict and suppress them, then l an
closer to the opinions of Mckinley thar
has been generally believed, If Gen
Alger is assured that President Nc
Kinley is not in touch and sympathy
with the disreputable political methods
of Mark Hanna and his friends, an(
deprecates such leadership then l an
for Mckinley. New Haven, Conn

The Gathering of the Planets Ac.
cOrding to Astronomers.

BY the Rev Father A. F. Frumveller,
Professor of Astronomy in St. Louis
University.
Early in next December there will oc-
cur conjunction of plants such as has
probably not been recorded in the his
tory of the world. Mercury, which re-
wolves around the sun in So days; Venus,
524. 7 days; Earth, 1851 days; Mars, 6S7
days; Jupiter, II years, Saturn, in 33
years, and Uranus, in S4 years, will be
in the same part of the heavens at that
time.
The remarkable difference in the
length of time required for the planets
to revolve around the sun makes the
chances one in million that they will
ever be in the same part of the heavens
together.
There is probably some electrical con-
nection between the planets, but this
will probably not be so intensified as to
cause trouble.
This unprecedented grouping of
planets will be of no benefit to science,
for their size and movements have been
accurately determined, and nothing
further could be learned by examining
them in juxtaposition.
But the common people-thatis is, those
who have never made study of astro-
nomy-will be much interested in these
strange conditions. Whether prophets
will be able either to prove or disprove-
as they may desire-their contention
that the weather of the earth is affected
by the influence of other planets.
There are periodical sensations in the
sky, such as an eclipse of the sun or the
moon or meteroic showers. Sometimes
the earth and other planets are in con-
junction, but there has never been
recorded a time when all of the planets
excepting one-Neptune-came togeth-
er. as in this case. This will make the
date memorable, but this is all.
| see no reason why there should be
meteorie showers or any unusual dis
turbances in spite of this unprecedented
state of affairs. At all events, there
will be meteoric showers or star showers,
AS they are commonly called, November
10 and 10.
The earth is moving all the time
through streams of nebulous matter,
The Van Buren press., 1899-07-08

and when the attractions is strong
enough it draws the matter to itself in
small particles in the form of what we
call meteors or shooting stars.
The planets move in one direction,
these nebulous streams in another. The
influence they exert upon each other is
insignificant.
All things considered, l do not be-
lieve we have anything to fear from the
stsrtling predictions made by astrologers
concerning the conjunction of the planets
next December.

Care OF Animals In Summer.

Our Humane Society makes the fol-
lowing suggestions relative to the care
of animals during hot weather:
Provide water, fresh, pure water.
How refreshing is drink of cool water
on hot dayH
All animals are in need of means of
quenching thirst.
No doubt many dogs are driven to
madness through lack of water.
Hydrophobia is almost unknown, in
localities where dogs can drink when
they wish.
Every town should be provided with
drinking fountains for animals. No
gift to people confers a greater favor
OF pleasure than fountain.
Give the horse frequent opportunity
to quench his thirst when not too much
heated.
Let your horse have free use of his
head give him long check rein. Think
how painful it must be to have the sun
shine with intense heat and glaring
light into his upturned face. How
cruel and thoughtless on the part Of the
owner to compel him to hold his head
in this unnatural position.
Provide shade. How natural for us
TO seek the shadow, when the sun is
pouring its rays on the dry and parched
earth
Never wash a horse with cold water
when he is heated.
Water before feeding, but not while
the horse is hot from work.
( Use the whip very little and never
when the horse SHES OF stumbles.
Do not storm and fret. Be quiet and
kind and the horse viii be so too, and
do much better work.

The Gathering OF Planets as AstrolO.
gers Foreview 1t.


THE world may come to an end Dec.
2. 1899. At all events, it may be very
badly shaken up. French, English
and American astrologers say SO. The
preliminary troubles will commence
June S-the date of lunar eclipse
according to Astrologer Zadkiel, but
the big jar will not come until six
months later.
All this will be caused by the conjunc
tion of the sun, earth, moon and all of
the planets except Neptune. Such a
meeting has not occurred for 5000 years.
1t always means trouble. Their rela
tions to each other and the signs in
which they are grouped indicate, ac-
cording to astrology, that their COM
bined power will be exerted with bale
full effect upon the earth.
AS to the precise and definite form
which the disaster will take, those who
believe that the fates of men are written
in the heavens differ widely among
themselves. Some insist that the pro-
tent is for floods, earthquakes or other
great physical disturbances; others
read the omen for epidemics and
plaques, and another class lay the
emphasis on social, political and in.
dustrial upheavals and revolutions. All
agree, however, that the extent of the
evils will be worldwide and now and
then one ventures to predict that there
will be no world at the end of these
direful days, or at least not in its present
form and condition. 1t is strange
coincidence that prophets and seers in
France are also predicting the coming
of Antichrist and reign of terror and
blood for the closing months of this
year and century.
According to DR.. J. c. Sheet, an
American astrologer, the seven planets
with the sun coming into the mystic
sign of Sagittarius in the latter part OF
November, and continuing through
December, is a prophetic sigh of fiery
triplicity,' which will affect the
whole system of governments. re
ligions, political and financial econo.
my, as well as the motor nerve
system in individuals. He does
not believe that the effect will be SC
marked here as in Eastern lands, yet il
will be sufficiently grave to warrant the
utmost apprehension and precaution.
DR.. Broughton, president of the New
York Astrological Society, makes
representations almost as pessimistic
in character as those of DR.. Street.
Where so many planets, aided by
the sun and moon, are in conjunction
on one side of the earth, - he declares
with only one to oppose them on the
other side, there must be disturbance
of equilibrium in the liquid interior Of
the earth and in the atmosphere surroud.
ing our planet.
This will produce physical catas
trophies of many sorts-great floods
hurricanes, earthquakes, tidal waves
and volcanic eruptions,
''In December next, when the con
junction of the planets now approach
ing one another is attained, these
catastrophes will reach their most des
tructiye limit, and in parts of the earth
whole communities will be obliterated.

g. Fred Williams Writes Ab0ut the
Tyranny Of the Republic.

BOSTON. Mass. July S.-George
Fred Williams has written letter ac-
cepting an invitation to speak at COM
ing Clan na-Gael reunion in Boston,
Mass. In the letter Mr.. Williams
says:
ITO me as an American, the whole
sale slaughter of innocent people who
have been guilty of no offense save love
of country and of freedom is shame
and scandal, which even repentance and
final justice cannot expiate. Fellow
citizens, apparently decent and Chris
tian, are heard to say that. as we have
begun this work, it must proceed, if to
the point of expiration more widows
must weep, more orphans sorrow, more
graves must yawn for brave men, even
our own, that we may prove how cruel
ard inexorable is the tyranny of re-
public. 1t is said that the national
honor must be maintained. that we
must meet our new duties courageously,
that manifest destiny prescribes this
course.
The American people have not yet
pronounced upon this new policy of
imperjalism. We are not yet guilty.
The blood thus far is only upon the head
OF the President who is waging this war
without direction or authority from the
people. Let Inc suggest this line of
policy, which | shall advocate whenever
opportunity is given me; To suspend
military government in all the Spanish
colonies which we now occupy to ex
tend aid to them to form forthwith their
own indepeHdent governments: to seek
from them by honorable treaties such
concessions in trade or naval facilities
as we desire to consider their annexs-
tion as they of their own will shall ask
it; to take nothing from them except
with their consent.
Il have faith that with such policy
these nations would welcome us as de-
iiverer and friend, that our brave folders
would join with theirs in celebrating the
triumph of freedom and the memory OF
the dead would become sacred in thf
hearts of the enfranchised peoples.

NJ. c. Wetmore Of st. Louis, who a
short time ago was the president of the
Liggett a. Meyer Tobacco Company OF

~ am going to devote the rest OF my
life and my fortune to fighting trusts,
he said to the Post Dispatch CORES
pondent today.
II am receiving hundreds of letters
endorsing my course every day, said
ne. Il shall keep up the fight as long
as there is any fight in me, but think
it will he all over inside of two years.
The next presidential campaign will be
fought on the trust issue and on that
the Democrats will win. Why. the
whole west aud south are hot. beds of
anti trust sentiment.
THE Democrats with strong plank
on this evil in their platform will sweep
every state west of Pennsylvania
1.-The farmer is feeling the iron heel
of the trusts every day. Everything he
needs to build his house or barn with
his advanced in price from % to 25o per
cent. His land is not worth any more
though.
Il am Democrat, and although my
party will not forsake silver or the
tariff, the anti-trus idea will over
shadow everything else.
THE trusts are forcing men out OF
work every day.
Another thing that will lead to
Democratic success is this Philippine
business. We paid $20, 900, 900 and
bought nothing but war. Mckinley
blundered and we will have to pay for
it.
The thousands Of letters | have re-
ceiyed are not from Democrats alone.
A large percentage are from Republicans
and the writers say they are going to
vote for the party that will down the
trusts.

strong this sentiment is in other parts
of the country. 1t means that Bryan
will be the next President. =
The Van Buren press., 1899-07-08
Trusts and the Tariff.

WHEN Mr.. Havenmeyer, president of
the sugar trust, testified before the In
dustrial Commission that the protective
tariff is the mother of trusts, he hit the
Republican hard The truth hurts and
at the present time the McKinleyites are
writhing and denouncing Mr.. Have
meyer in language that is far from
choice. The Republican newspapers
are attacking him viciously and charge
that his testimony regarding the opera
tions of the protective tariff and the
manner in which it benefits and builds
up combines, was given in the interest
of the Democratic party. Mr.. Have
meyer, did not state anything more
than what has already been said by The
Union and other Democratic papers
and authorities, but the fact that he has
for years been connected with trusts
and is thoroughly familiar with their
affairs makes him an expert witness and
gives great weight to his testimony.
The Philadelphia Ledger, which is q
which is a conservative Republican
newspaper, says2
Combinations in restraint of trade are
in opposition to the professed principles
of the Republican party, but as these
monopolies have been fostered by Re-
publican legislation, it is the duty of
the administration to supply the remedy.
Mr.. Havemeyer, who certainly should
and does know, says that the tariff is
the mother of trusts. He does not re-
gard trusts as particularly vicious, but
he has no hesitation in tracing them to
the fountain source. OF course, there
are monopolies that are in no sense de-
pendent upon the tariff, such as the
Standard Oil Company; but where this
concern thrives there are hundred
that are tariff made and tariff-fed
1t is quite evident, then, that in the
war against the trusts, which there is
every reason to believe will be fought
to finish in the presidential campaign
next year, the people must strike at the
evil which is responsible for their ex
istence. The Philadelphia Ledger is
correct when it says that hundreds OF
trusts are tariff made and tariff fed.
This being the case, then the surest and
the quickest way to crush these con.
Germs out of existence is to withdraw
the protection and the pap which the
tariff law gives them, and on which
they grow fat, insolent and powerful

Hayemeyer's Body Blow.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
THE administration politicians and the
members of the industrial commission
themselves have struck an awful snag
in Havemeyer There is probably not
one of them who does not regret that
the sugar king did not pay the debt of
nature before he was called to enlighten
the commission. Mr.. Hayemeyer ex-
pressed an easy text to remember. He
stove in a hole in the very superstruc
ture of the coming presidential cam
paign. He forced the president and
congress to face the questions of tariff
revenue and trusts or confess their
inability and indisposition to do SO.
