CARLISLE ON DEMOCRACY.
of Treasury Talks OF
PArty,s Future

a Z
New York Nov. 27.-John G. Carlisle
ex-speaker Of the house, leader in con-
gress and secretary of the treasury in
President Clepeland's cabinet, has Civ
en- to Henry LOOMS Nelson his Views
on the future of the democratic party
as follows
Whether there shall or shall not be
"a reorganization Of the democratic par
" and a return toits old principles and
traditional politics depends. in my
opinion, almost entirely upon the ac-
ton of the democrats in the south OF
the 155 electoral votes secured at the
recent election for the candidate nomi-
mated by the three allied political par
ties only thirteen were chosen outside
of the southern states. and these four.
teen were chosen in only four states by
popular majoritiss aggregating less
than 10000
The southern people have thus sep
arated themselves from the great body
of their friends in the north and west
and attached themselves to the mining
states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana and
Nevada, four comparatively small
states, which have, or think they have.
a special interest In free coinage of
silver and the other populistic princi-
pies promulgated for the first time in
a national convention at Chicago in
1896.
On all these questions the true In
terests of the south are identical with
the interests of the great Industrial and
commercial states whose votes have
been cast on the other side, and which
will continue TO be cast the same way
as long as the same questions are agi-
tated. The people of the south, In COM
mon with the people in all other parts
Of the country. Will be greatly benefited
by the maintenance OF sound and
stable currency, the preservation of
law and order and the independence
and authority of the judiciary; and yet
without their votes they are too feeble
to attract much attention In opposition
to those policies would be q national
campaign"
Is it your opinion was asked Mr..
Carlisle, that the movement to unite
the democrats should originate In the
south rather than in the north or west p.

London, Nov. 27-The meeting of par

A war costing s75oOooo weekly isi
going on and nobody seems to know
when tits likely to stop. Everybody isl
in a critical mood. Lord Roberts liz
sharply criticized for mistaken policy
OF lenlency; there Ia an amazing out
break of invective and abuse directed
against Gen. Kitchener: there are re-
monstrAnces in liberal Journals and from
5pro-Roer platforms against the barren
policy of burning farsns and starving
the burghers in the impoverished Dutch
territory, and Lord Salisbury is attacked
for neglecting to inform France and
other powers that the two republics
have been annexed. and that the Beers
are no longer entitled to recognition as
belligerents when they are merely reb-
els, guerrillas and bandits.
When go many games at cross purpos-
es are In progress 1t is Impossible for the
public to know what is going on. The
only point on which there is general
agreement Is that the French govern
stnetlt has maintained correct attitude
during the last week, and that the Eng
slish people have no reason to complain
of the reception of Mr.. Kruger Lord
Salisbury has clearly acted with some In
stelligible motive II. refraining from
changing the status of the Beers from
sbelligerents to rebels.
The money markets are stiffening
under rene walls Of treasury borrowing,
but it is well understood that the chan
scellor of the excheQuer will move very
slowly. pursuing hand-to-mouth poll
icy. and not unfolding the full signifl-
canoe of the financial necessities Of the
government. Frederick Greenwood's
structures upon the financial methods
Of the government has strengthened
the impression that England will soon
be brought face to face with a new sys-
tenn Of fiscal reform.
Free traders are already rubbing
their eyes when they see unionist Jour
nails justifying a tariff OF or 10 per.
cent on manufactured foreign imports,
on the ground that direct taxation of
incomes has gone far enough and that
the area of Indirect taxation must be
fwidened by general tariff in order to
provide revenues for placing the en-
8pire in a proper condition Of defense
during a protracted period of prepara-
stion. If this fiscal policy be proposed
next year or the year after the liberal
party will have what it now lacks. an
issue for rallying the masses against
the government.

fashion with the famous duel fought IN

clerk on the Richmond and Danville rail

Judge Pryor, it will be remembered. was
editor of the Richmond Enquirer. lor
Finney was a member of the State Senate,
and had been very severely criticised by
the editor. Kinnear, Pryor and Finney
were in the dining-room of the Ballard

tho same time springing back and drawing
a revolver. Kinney threw up his hands,
telling the Judge he was unarIned- Judge
Pryor referred him to second, and the

into the hotel seriously wounded in the
hip. When Mr. Kinnear reached his mail

necessary for him to get out of the city.

This Is common sense, and any Ameri-

DEWEY'S GOOD SENSE,

No citizen Of America has ever moved
rity 10 such pre-eminence as Admiral
Dewey secured by his victory over the
Spuniards in Manila Bay. That victory
showed that Dewey was a naval COM
mander of the very first order. even
though his enemy ultimately turned out
to be an entirely inadequate foe But this
did not 6etract from DeweyS laurels.
Dewey showed that he was constructed
of the material from which great com
manders nre made. and if the SpaniardS
had proved the most formidable adversa-
RES that commander ever met, Dewey
showed that he was made of the material
for graphing with them and seeing 1t out
to a finish. Dewey has also showed that
he Is man of level head and cool iudg-
ment in other positions besides that of
naval commander. He showed eminent
prudence and sagac:ty while he remained
in command at Manila, and he has done
but one foolish thing since he left there,
and that was a piece of weakness liable
10 fail 10 the lot of the strongest man.
Our appreciation of Dewey's good sense
IS Very much enhanced by the interview
with him published yesterday in respect to
affairs in the Philippines. but we were
particularly struck with its closing para
graph. Speaking of the report TINT Cuba
was to be evacuated after the holding OF
the Constitutional Convention, Dewey
said he did not see how the United States
could turn over the island to the Cubans
until a stable government had been estab-
!lshed. he added:
we arc responsiele to the wer!a for
the orGe.iy coa3ucs Of az, rs II Cuba
and until such a government is establ sh-
ed I cannot see how We can withdraw.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Eeredity is a wonderful thing. Wherein
liable for the behavior of his ancestors is
a question that will have to be settled by
theologians. But it is certain that the
second commandment is held good in the
cases of the families of Max Jukes and
Jonathan Edwards. lions Record says:
About the year 172o one Max Jukes was
born. Very little is known about him, but
his descendants have managed to keep
themselves constantly in the eyes Of the
public. Some expert student of heredity
devoted the better part of five years to a
study of the family and located about
300 of them, every one of whom was
either a criminal, q. pauper, an imbecile
or insane. Only twenty Of the number
ever learned a trade, and ten OF the twenty
learned trades in State prison. Twenty
years ago his progeny had cost the public
more than S1,2Jo,000.
In 1903 Jonathan Edwards was born, and
the history of 100 of his descendants was
presented to the American Institute OF In
struction at its meeting in Halifax. \. s.,
last week There were only six criminals
in the whole number, and not one pauper
or imbecile. In education, literature,
craftsmanship, mining ana ralITOa0!ES,
law. medicine. and theology the descend
ants of Edwards have filled the highest
places. Among their number were 2S3 col
lege graduates and thirteen college preSi-
dents. II may or may not be true that the
law of heredity is as constant a factor as
the law of gravtation, but the vital inter
est of the general public IN the resenera-
ton of the descendants of Max and all his
kind is shown in these luminous figures.
We see from the Boston Herald that
seals have proved very destructive TO the
shad fishing in the Kennebec River. The
bounty.is now one dollar for each seal, and
Mr.. Henry McCabe of Bath, Maine, says
that if it was raised TO three dollars there
would be made an effort to rid the State
of this interference with the hshing busi-
ness This talk iof the seal reminds us of
the man who killed q deer out of season
because the deer insisted upon eating his
the story from Kennebec is true, and that
the seal is really destroying the se2-golns
