ELECTION RESULT GREATLY
SURPRISED HIM.
WAS MISLED BY LEADERS
Says Talk Of Reorganizing Is Non
sense-Future Issues to
Be Evolved.

Little Rock, Nov. 22-United States
Senator Jones, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee spent the
day in Little Rock and left tonight for
Washington. Before leaving he said
in an interview:
"The election result was a great
surprise to all democrats. All We're
SO confident of success that the sweep
ing republican victory came as a
severe shock. Even on the evening of
the day before the election r~eassuring
kilograms came from the leaders that
New York was safe for Bryan and
from the leaders in other pivotal'states
that the democrats were sure to win.
1t was this forecast which buoyed us
up to the last moment and made the
actual result more startling. But
Bryan is a great man, one of the great
est in America today, and his infu-
ence will be felt for many years to
come in American politics. He is a
giant in intellect and simply indefatig-
able in the prosecution of a campaign.
Whether he will be a candidate for
the presidency in the near future re-
mains to be seen, but it is not probable
that he will. It is more reasonable to
presume that he would decline the
nomination even should it be offered
to him.
Reorganization? Oh, that's all
nonsense; there is nothing in it and it
will blow over in 80 days. It is pre-
sipitated by those who deserted the
party and gave aid and comfort to the
enemy and does not represent the
strength or spirit Of the genuine de-
mocracy. What they would do is to
adopt all policies of the republican
party and be democrats only in name.
But granting that there is cause or
strength for the so-called re-organiza-
ton, who has the power within the
party to do it now? Not the dis
gruntled disorganizers who have raised
the issue. If there is to be a re-
organization of the national commit
tee or platform it can not be done for
four years, or until the next national
convention.
Gas to issues, that must depend
largely upon national and international
developments Of the next four years.
1t may be laid down primarily, how
ever, that the democratic party will
never vary from it's established funda-
mentals-strict construction of the
constitution and answering adherence
to its principles, and an economically
administered government for the bene-
fit Of the governed.
"The silver question may solve it.
self. Should the amount of gold pro-
duced be ample to maintain a sufi-

question will be suhordinated; but
should the supply fall short of the
demands of trade, the silver question
will be made prominent. The ques-
ton of imperialism may also find

and Wing Road. N. H.
A high speed locomotive which has
been shown at the Paris exposition has
attracted considerable attention from
the engineering press. 1t was con-
structed on somewhat novel lines and
was designed to draw heavy trains at
high speed, says the New York Post.
1t is quite striking in appearance. as
the cab for the engineer is placed on a
platform in front of the boiler and over
the forward trucks. The fireman Is
placed in the usual station behind the
boiler and is in communication with
the engineer. through tubes and signal
bells. The boiler is quite large. with a
low stack. while a long. low tender Is
carried behind the locomotive proper.
The driving wheels. of which there are
two sets. have the extreme height Of
6 feet "a inches. and the cylinders are
20 by 27h inches. The engine is design
ed to draw trains weighing from 200 to
22O ons at a speed of about Is miles
per hour and is expected to develop
about 1000 horsepower. Although no
records of actual tests have as yet been
published, the locomotive has been
praised by engineers for it's novel and
ingenious construction. as well as it's
striking originality.

THE CITY or PARIS.

Some Things that Will Interest Expo
sition Visitors.
Paris is not the noisest of continental
cities. but it is not especially quiet.
The whole place, except in the aristo-
cratic quarters. seems to be wide
awake and much alive in early morn
ing; street cries are especially noticca-
bic as the hawkers ply their busy
trade. But though the traffic in Paris
is noisicr, it Is not dense. Yet il APP
pears more bewildering to the foot pas
scngers in Paris, because of the want
OF order. The Partisan police, or
gardens dc Ia paiX, are not nearly so

quarter Latin, the resort OF students
and art workers, lies east of the Eau
bourS st. German; this Is the learned
corner of Paris; here are the UNIVERSE
ties, most of the colleges, schools and
scientific institutions, and for centuries
this has been regarded as the students
quarter. Behind the Church of the
Sorbonnc is the Lycee Louis lie Grand
founded in 1860 by Francis 1. and re-
built by the JesuitS in 1850. Close by,
on the Place du Pantheon, is the Lycee
Henri Quatre. with its ancient though
restored tower; this formed part Of the
old abbey OF st. Genevicvc: the ancient
refectory Is now used as the chapel of
the Lycee.
North of the river, and to the cast
of the Place de IL BaStilc. the Eau

ter, where the chief part OF the working
people dwell. Here are found cabinet

Tor those suffering with catarrh. I do

had used one bottle noticed q groat

me entirely. 1 would not be without
Pe-ru-na for any consideration.
The reason SO many people get chror-
ic cstarrh is, the disease gets firmly es-
tablished before it is recognized. They
fool them selves by calling it some other
namo than its proper one-catarrh.
When people get acute catarrh they
call it cold. If they have acute nasal
catarrh it is called coryza. Endemic
catarrh they call influenza. and cpl
demic oatarrh they name la grippe.
When the catarrh reaches tho throat
it is called toasilitis, or iaryngitis.
Catarrh of tho bronchial nbes is called
bronchitis; catarrh of tho lungs con-
sumption. Any internal remedy that
will cure catarrh in one location will
cure it in any other location. This is
