JONES is OPTIMISTIC.

The New York Herald on Monday pub
lshed the following dispatch from Wash
ington:
Senator James X Jones of Arkansas,
chairman of the Democratic National Com
mittee, expresses the belief that the trend
of political events is distinctly favorable
to Democracy, and that the party will en-
ter the coming Presidential campaign with
far greater chance for victory than it
had in 1896 The Eastern trip of the man
who is sure to be the Democratic nominee
for the Presidency seems to have inspired
Mr. Jones with the belief that the Demo.
Gratis will be able to puncture some large
holes in the Republican stronghold, the
East, and that conditions everywhere are
daily growing more favorable.
81 cannot see it any other way said
the Senator to-day. L believe that the
country is awakening to realization of the
fact that on all of the great issues which
will play prominent part in the coming
the real interests of the vast ma ority of
the people. believe that without regard
to party affiliations the great majority of
the people of all sections of this country
are opposed to the overthrow of the prin
ciples of the Republic contemplated by the
men in control of the administration and
of the Republican party
1.-The more the great questions involved
in the permanent retention of the Philip
pine Islands as a dependency are studied
the more surely are the people coming to
the conviction that no possible commercial
advantage can offset this absolute over
throw of the principles upon which the
Republic was founded The people see
that the heavy increases in the army and
the navy, and the multitudinous other eX
penscs, would so greatly add to the burdens
of taxation as to make it very bad in
vestment. and, looking ut it from that
right, the people are arrayIng themselves
against the declared policy of the Repub-
lican Administration.
1.-The Democrats will go into the coming
W I'LL uISIluCl dtlN Ill luC
position they occupy upon the money ques-
ton, as compared to that which they oc-
cupied in 1896. The change is in the Re
publican position, not in the Democratic.
Immediately the republicans assumed the
reins of government they threw down the
mask of bimetalism behind which they
were hiding, and every step they have
since taken has served to put them more
absolutely on record in advocacy of the
iniquitous sing gold standard. Now that
the election is approaching, they are pre-
pairing to take it up again in the hope that
it may once more prove efficacious in fool
ing the people.
1.-The growing evidence of complete
understanding between the Administration
and the British Government can bode no
political good to the Republican party.
There can be little doubt that the people
of this Republic-probably 80 per cent. of
them-have in their hearts the keenest
sympathies for the brave farmers of South
Africa who are making last stand against
the aggression of British greed.
1.-The people are thinking about these
things, and they are going to cut Il figure
in the coming Presidential contests"

THE CLARK CASE.

The thoroughness with which the
Senate, says the Baltimore Neus, is
looking into the Clark case is worthy
of all commentator. No one can
doubt that an earnest effort is being
made to get at the real facts in the
case. MIR. Clark's friends are insisting
that no witness has yet directly con-
nected him with bribery, or has shown
that enough members of the Lecisla-
ture were bought to decide the result
of the election. There has been such
an amount funblushing perjury shown
up that tue public is undoubtedly con-
fused as to what has been and what
has not been proved; but if Mr.. Clark
were being tried for murder, and the
evidence We're as strong against him
as it is to the effect that he poured out
money like water to gain seat in the
United States Senate, he would be a
very lucky man, indeed, if lie got off
with his neck. There has been but
one opinion expressed throughout the
country on this case. II the news
papers-Dcmocratic, Republican and
independcnt-can be taken to repre-
S nt public opinion, Mr.. Clark, before
that tribunal, is black with guilt. A
finding to any other effect will shock
the moral sense of the whole country
People will be ready to despair of keep
ing out of the Senate millionaircs who
have bought their titles to seats there
We can think Of but one thing that
will make the admission of Mr.. Clark
at all endurable, and that is the impetus
it will give to the campaign for the
election of Senators 10y direct vote.
In States like Montana, popular elcc-
:ions will not, of course, insure the
stopping of bribery, but, at least, it
will make it more difficult; while in
the oder and more populous States:
the belief is universal that it will not
only make it well nigh impossible to
buy seat in the Senate, but will ma
terially raise the standard Of qualifica-
tion for that body

the administration Senators tiocked upon

KENTUOKY'S WISE COURSE.

The Legislature of Kentucky will as
sernble today in extraordinary session TO
consider the existing laws relating to cleo
tons It seems to be conceded That the
Goebel election law will be repealed and
an honest law enacted. This is wise The
Goabel election law has done harm el:ttah
and kentucky Democrats should haze sat
isted themselves by this time Tat 1t
will not do. 1t has caused rioing a,ncrS
the voters Of that State. The author Of
the law, who by that law was elected
Governor, was Shot down by an assassin
and the wonder is that more blood was
not spilled before truce was declared
But apart from all that, the Courier
Journal says that the Republicans Fele
enabled through defects existing N the
Goebel election law so 10 manipulate its
machinery as to derive ADVANTAGE even
from those features which Were regarded
as contributing the greatest adEan &c to
the Democrats. And SO the nenGcrst is

be so always where the parties are any
thing like evenly divided. The Goebcl
election law was enacted for the aHcwed
purpose of keeping kentucky always IN
the Democratic column But the law
turned out to be a curse rather than a
benefit to the. party which made it.
Again, The Courier Journal says that the
object of the Republicans now is to work
the law for all that t Tray be worth n
iafo -iI,,r
them on the face of the returns III the
autumn elections; but, i'll the even OF
failure, to use it as a preteXt for throw
ing the vote of Kentucky out of the cleo
toral college, and OF denying admission
TO the Democrats of the Kentucky dele
CATION to their seats in the national House
of Representatives.
True again We have seen something
of that sort of thing here in Virginia In
at least two contests III the llouse OF
Representatives from Virginia, the Vir-
ginia election law was pleaded as prima
face evidence of fraud and two Democrats
Hno, no doubt, received a majority Of tie
votes in their respective districts were
u.lseated in favor of r:e + eprc.ican cen
testants on the ground alleged that as the
Virginia election law afforded abundant
opportunity for fraud, therefore fraud was
practiced, and the Democratic nominees
were fraudulently elected.
Waving the moral question involved,
therefore, it has become arrencrt that
election laws like the Goebel law are of
positive disadvantage to Inc party IN Ti1ose
interests they are enacted.
