Get His Brothers to
Settle.

PARIS, Dec. 20,-The suit of Charles
Wertheimer, the London bric-a-brac
dealer, against Count and Countess de
Castellane, to recover payment for art
objects sold the Count and Countess de
Castellane, began today in the first civil
chamber. The test case involved the
sum OF 1896 francs. The hearing was de-
voted to the arguments of counsel. None
Of the parties was in court The totaA
sum involved in the transaction is $780,
900 francs
Count and Countess de Castellane have
replied with filing a counter suit, de-
manding full statement of all transact
tons, claiming that various objects, adj
mttedly authentic, were sold at scam
dalously exaggerated prices. and that
many articles were represented as au.
thentic antiquities when they were really
limitations, modern or useless, while in a
series of exchanges in 1899, Wertheimer
took back a number of articles at prices
greatly below their true worth. The
defendants, therefore, demand reduc-
ton Of the debt, professionally estimated
to be. at least 100000 francs, and tho
restitution of the objects taken in ex-
change by Wertheimer under the penalty
of 1,G0n francs for each days delay in the
restitution on the day of Judgment.
Finally they claim damages to the amount
of 100000 francs. Count and Countess
de Castellane also ask, in case the judges
decide it is necessary to throw further
light on the case, that experts shall be
appointed to appraise the articles in
VolVed. The appointment of these ex-
perts is the first aim of counsel for Count
and Countess-de Castellanee

Wertheimer's counsel, -Afaitre Foucauld,
in a speech lasting several hours, made
a most vigorously worded reply to the
Castellane contentious. He said there
was nothing serious in the observations
and criticisms behind whicn the Cas-
tellanes were screening their temporary
insolvency" He denounced the counts
conduct scathingly, referring to his ''pre,
texts to delay. payments" and did not
hesitate to accuse him of telling untruths.

From Tuesdays Daily.

L TON i tuesday, Dallyf ii
The question of securing visit from
Theodore Roosevelt, the republican
nominee for vice president of the Unit
ed Sfates,is one which is being agitated
in Ottumwa at present. 1t is believed
that If proper influences are brought
to bear that the honor may be secured
for this city, and ii. is certainly worth
trying for, Governor Roosevelt, it is
known will make trip thru the west,
but the extent of his campaign tour is
not known.
C.rGeorge. Hamilton, manager of the
Orpheum, said today that If Ottumwa
will secure date for visit from
Governor Roosevelt he will provide car
riages for the governor and his party
and the free use of the Orpheum where
several thousand people could be ac-
commodated.
If Mr.. Roosevelt can be induced to
make a tour thru Iowa, either on his
way west or on the return, 1t is an
assured fact that the capacity of the
Orpheum would be taxed to its utter
most.

Batavia June 2s.--(special.) Some

DR.. H. c. Porter of this city, while sit

The bullet which was OF 3s caliber,
crashed thru the window at his side,
and barely missing his head embedded
itself in the door casing on the oppo-
site side of the room.
The doctors Office is in second sto-
ry room and the superstition is that
the party who fired at him stood on
the opposite side of the street. The
doctor was sitting at his desk near a
window opening onto the street, but
he did not see any one nor have any
warning until the .leaden missile came
crashing thru the glass at his side.
! 1t was too dark to ascertain anything
and the affair is still a mystery.

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
with Such Leader as Bryan. DEM
ocratic Victory Is Almost
Assured

Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance at
Indianapolis is without doubt the po-
litical event of paramount Importance
in the present campaign. Mr. Bryan
received at the hands of the democratic
party the nomination for the presi-
dency. A partisan utterance upon this
occasion would have been pardoned-
nay, more, was even expected by the
country at large. Tradition and prece-
dent exist to justify a candidate in such
course. He of Canton-Mark Hanna's
man-who was recently notified of a
nomination, took occasion to plead for
the principles of a party and in the
cause of an administration. In multi
farious terms he told what eve" had
done, and fairly reveled in the deeds of
''us.' The republican party was de-
fended-even apologized for. And Will
liam Mckinley accepted at the hands
OF those who bore the stamp of the re-
publican party the nomination for the
presidency of the United States. Mr..
McKlnley's speech of acceptance will
go down in history as the statement of
party chief to his party followers.
But how different is the tone and tenor
of Mr.. Bryan's Indianapolis address.
Mckinley spoke. to party-Bryan to
nation;- Mckinley plead the cause OF
an administration-Bryan the cause of
a people. Mckinley defended the prin-
ciples of party; Bryan spoke in de-
fense of the principles that are at the
found alton of free government; McKin-
ley spoke as candidate, but Mr.. Bryan
spoke as an American citizen.
In the face of existing circumstances
it is fact of peculiar significance that
Mr.. Bryan could reply to the notifica
ton committee in a speech bearing as
little trace of partisan politics as the
constitution of the United States or the
declaration of independence. This does
not indicate that Mr.. BlFan is not {

good democrat. but rather that the
democratic party is ,contending not so
much for certain theories of admins
tration in free government as for free
government itself. Hence it is that,
fighting for the very existence of the
republics, the position of the patriotic
citizen who stands for free government
and the position of the democratic par
ty becomes identical. Mr.. Bryan was
great enough to recognize this. Mr..
Bryan's speech was remarkable on ac-
count of the things he said. Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Canton speech was chiefly re-
markable on account of the things he
did not say The Canton speech abounds
in vague intimations and promises. 1t
does not hold out to the Filipinos the
faintest hope either of independence on
the one hand or of the freedom and
rights of American citizenship on the
other.
The voter has only to read so much
of Mr.. McKinley's speech as relates to
this subject in order to find this state
ment to be correct. He will find some
thing about giving to the Filipinos as
much government as they are fit
for-as though the right of people TO-
600 miles away to self-government was
not God-given right, but right to be
granted h1 some authority in Wash
ington. But he will find not the faint
est whisper of such thing as indie
pendence for people over whom we
have no authority except such as Spain
somehow is supposed to have had a
right to give us.
In Mr.. Bryan's speech, however, the
voter may find a pledge that if he is
elected he Will convene congress at the
earliest moment to declare the nations
purpose:
First. To establish a stable form of
government in the Philippine islands,
just as we are now establishing stable
form of government in Cuba.
Second. To give independence to the
Filipinos, just as we have promised to
give independence to the Cubans
Third. To protect the Filipinos from
outside interference while they work
out their own destiny. just as we have
protected the republics of Central and
South America and are by the Monroe
doctrine pledged 20 protect Cuba"
This is a sufficiently clear and sue
cinct statement Of the democratic po-
sition. OF its correctness, of course,
there can be no doubt.
This. with what Mckinley says. and
with what he significantly omits to say,
sufficiently defines the issue as to the
Philippines.
The broader issue of imperialism.
which includes that of the Philippines,
may be stated thus: !
Mr.. Bryan stands upon the doctrine
of the declaration ofindependence, that
governments derive their Just powers /
from the consent of the governed.
Mr. Mckinley stands for the utter
reputation of that doctrine and for
"tbe doctrine of the thrones, that man |
is too ignorant to govern himself" and /
must be subject to those who rule by |
superior might and divine right

Intelligent stage Drivers.

A New York visitor returned recently
from Newport full of admiration for the in
telligence of the stage drivers who undertake
to show strangers the sights of the town. He
was driving about in one of the vehicles de-
voted to the entertainment of those who un-
dertake to see the sights of the town mex
pensively. The driver stopped before one of
the show places OF ), Newport. This IS Mr..
turned to the passengers, "and the lady in
the red hat by the corner of the piazza is
the younger Miss Smith-Jone whose en-
gagement to Mr.. Brown was announced yes

before met stage drivers so anxious to have
their patrons enjoy themselves.-N. Y. Sun.

man whom the people never knew
where to find on any vital issue" Ac-
cording to the press reports, this
statement was received with remark
able expressions of approval. During
the same week Father Heldman, a
prominent Catholic clergyman of Chi
cago, in an address before the Ger
man Veteran league brought the en-
tire audience to its feet in a sponta-
neous expression of approval when he
scored the administrations policy in
the Philippines and Porto Rico.
In Ohio the detection from republic
an ranks has been especially marked.
The Germans who gave Mckinley such
strong support in 1896 are coming
over in droves to Bryan. Besides this
Frank S. Monnett and Cleveland's for
mer mayor, Robert McKisson, men
with enormous personal followings;
are fighting Mark Hanna tooth and
nail. Then, too, that vast independ-
ent element headed by Jones, of To-
ledo, are practically unit for Bryan
this year. 1t will be remembered that
Jones polled 900 votes when he ran
for governor last year.

" at headquarters. To say that tina

ty at headquarters. To say that ths
outlook for the democratic party at
the present time is hopeful would be
putting it mildly. Mr.. Bryan's speech
seems to have put new aspect upon
the campaign. kilograms of congratu-
lation from republicans and gold demo-
Gratis have been literally pouring in up
on Mr.. Bryan and the executive COM
mittee. Influential papers that have
been hesitating as to their policy, upon
receiving Mr.. Bryan's speech openly
indorse the candidacy. The converts
of a week would fill a column. When
such conservative papers as the Spring
field Republican become enthusiastic
for the success of the party; when
such papers as the Boston Post, the
New York World and the Baltimore
Sun, all of which supported Mckinley
in SO, openly indorse Bryan, the out
look must be considered bright.
But these papers have not been the
only additions to the force of the
militant democracy. Wherever large
bodies of men have gathered during
the past month the events have been
productive of much encouragement to
the democracy.
The dissolution of the gold democ-
racy at a regular meeting, and the
quick assimilation of all it's infuen-
tial members by the regular party
marked the end of the truancy of
1896. When the Ohio Bar association
met in yearly convention few weeks
later and the. president, Judge A. P.
Laubie, lifelong republican, de-
nounced McKinley's policy of imperial
ism, he found no dissenters, though
fully half the members were repub-
licans.
Quickly following this, DIR. Silas c.
Swallow, candidate for president OF
the United Christian party, addressing
his followers in a convention said: 'It
we must choose between the two can
didates of the old parties, l must say
thatI should support man who clings
| to principles and adheres to what he
believes to be right rather than the
