Mr.. GRIGGS' PREDICTION.
He Says Next House Is Safe for Ma
tority of at Least Twenty.

tority of at Least Twenty.
Washington, Nov. chairman ]. NJ.
Griggs of the Democratic Congression-
al Committee tonight issued the fol-
lowing statement:
THE next House of Representatives
will have a Democratic majority of
not less than twenty. How many
more than this we shall have can only
be determined after the counting of
the votes polled on Tuesday next. 1t
depends largely, as every election does,
on the weather and other conditions
which cannot be forecasted. The Re-
publican leaders have been until re-
Gently complaining of apathy. For
the last day or two for political, pur-
poses they are claiming that they have
overcome this to a large extent, and
are faint-heartedly predicting success.
Reports to us do not indicate that this
is true. Republicans everywhere ap-
pear listless and even careless of re-
suits. We find that our Democratic
friends are wide awake and alert in
every district in the United States
where there is a fight.
1T is well to understand that the
last apportionment bill was so drawn
as to add nineteen Republicans and
ten Democrats to the House-a Repub-
lican advantage OF nine, in addition
to their present majority. The legis-
latures of the Republican states, where
possible to do so, have outrageously
gerrymandered congressional districts,
and many Republican districts by
what they consider safe majorities.
This is notably the case in Illinois and
New York, but these states have had
habit of playing havoc with political
gerrymanders in the past, and we be-
liaUa "a fe IN, fot
will be a repetition of this. We are
not depending on this. however, for
our majority named above. Even If these
states go as they were gerrymandered
to go, we shall have a Democratic
House by safe working majority"

ness interests, representing the toll of
years, crumble and decay under the
whitening breath of financial panic;
lives devoted to worldly pleasure stag
nate when the almond tree fiourishes
and the shadows lengthen along the
pathway to the tombs; ambitions cas-
ties in the air fade away when the
youthful eye is dimmed and the strong
man is bowed down. To those alone,
who, in the spirit of the lowly Nazar-
enc, have gone about doing good, comes
sweet contentment with all it's hallow~

ARE YOU AMBITIOUS?
Coffee Make. Some People Helpless

Coffee Makes Some People Helpless.
We inherit our temperaments. Some
children are happy and bright, while
others are nervous and cross. Care
should be taken that the child is given
proper food and drink so as not to in
crease natural nervousness or to bring
1t on: but this is often overlooked by
mothers who permit their children to
drink coffee without check.
The wife of a groceryman living in
Sloan, Mo, says. IT was born with a
nervous temperament, and this was in
creased by my parents giving me coffee
when child, unconscious of its bad eff
feet on my nervous system. In time, a
cup of coffee in the morning invariably
soured on my stomach, and a single cup
at night would make me nervous and
wakeful and often cause a distressing
heartburn. Last year 1 laid in bed all
summer with nervous prostration, a
complete wreck from coffee drinking

and commenced to use Postum Food

There was a gradual improvement in
my health almost from the commence

PrOtectionist Speeches.
Abba, Ia, Nov. 1.-Secretary Shaw
spoke here tonight, devoting partic-
ular attention to ex-President Cleve-
lands recent speech, and to the alleged
failure of the Democrats to enact any
remedial legislation in regard to trusts.
He said, in part:
Think of an ex-President urging re-
lance on the Democratic party for af-
firmative legislation of any character
and especially against industrial COM
bnations, which he is pleased to de-
nominate as trusts. 1t was during Mr..
Cleveland's first administration that
committee was appointed by Demo-
cratic Congress to investigate and re-
port on trusts and recommend reme-
dial legislation therefor. This commit
tee deliberated all summer. 1t DELHI
Grated all fall. Did it make report
when Congress convened, so that The
President could emphasize its recon-
mendations in his message? No, II
did not. It reported two days before
the final adjournment of Congress and
the inauguration of President Harr1-
son. The report revealed condition
quite as bad as anything now existing.

"'Your committee limits

sideration of subsequent congresses

Did Mr.. Cleveland ever recommend
remedial legislation for trusts other
than tariff revision? If he did, it has
been forgotten.
When the Sherman antitrust bill
was pending, william L. Wilson of
West Virginia, member of this very
committee. declared that Congress
could not deal with trusts, but that
the country must depend upon state
legislation. He declared that the Sher-
man act was revolutionary that it
would be ineffective, and then recon-
mended a resort to the Democratic pan
acea for all ills-tariff revision. Less
than four years thereafter Mr.. Wilson
prepared a tariff law. His party was
then in control of the presidency, and
both houses of Congress. But instead
of depending upon the tariff revision
as a remedy for trusts, he begins his
tariff law by re-enacting the Sherman
BILL almost word for word, and with
no additional Affirmative provisions.

THE soUTHERN's DEPOT.
what the state VIII Do When 1t Is
Finished Is a Problem.

Atlanta, Nov. 1.-The proposal of the
Southern to build a depot which all
the roads are invited to enter has been
the talk of the city to-day. There is
little doubt that the proposed depot
will be pushed rapidly to completion
What the state will do is a matter OF
conjecture.
Hon. Ferris Cam of Savannah, a
member of the special depot commit
tee, said he saw nothing for the state
to do but to build to the sea. At the
expiration of the present lease the
state road will be bottled up, he said
and unless the state sells it or builds
to the sea, it will hardly pay operating
expenses.

The Republicans have made an active
campaign, but the race among them is
apparently as to who will poll the larg-

ognition. The Republicans have made
a strong bid for the labor vote.
The Democratic leaders have been
aided greatly by the two-years' poll tax
prerequisite to voting, which has kept

afternoon. DR.. Butterick, in part,
said:
six months ago, at this school,
said that the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy had entered into one of the no
blest inheritances of human history.
What did 1 mean? That since the
days of the Spartan mothers, the
world had not seen such heriosm as
was displayed by the wives and
daughters of the Confederacy. They
more than all others bore the brunt of
that awful war. What is heroism? 1t
is conviction, expressed itself in deeds.
A conviction which expresses itself in
deed is about all that is worth while
in this world of ours.
while riding on railroad train this
week l was impressed with this in
cident: An elderly lady courteously
shared her seat with me in the
crowded car. She spoke of the vet
Grams, and said in hushed way, with
tears in her voice: I can never for
get the war, for it cost me the hus-
band of my youth and then averting
her face, that 1 might not notice the
depth of her emotion, said half in
| soliloquy, They were never defeated;
| they were simply outnumbered.' God
bless her; Yankee that 1 am. l could
shout for her. 1t was with the great
est pleasure that even in a small way
! we of the General Education Board,
! found ourselves co-operated with the
! Daughters of the Confedera<y. We
are proud of their achievements, and
we congratulate them on the magnifi-
cent work which in many noble ways
they are doing for their beloved South
| land"
DIR. Buttrick closed his address with
references to the splendid and useful
memorial being erected to the memory
of Winnie Davis, and his remarks were
received with great pleasure. The Ma
sonic ceremonies were sublime. They
