nEMocRATIC HARMONY.

During the last few weeks there has been
considerable talk about 'harmonizing" and
"reorganizing" the democratic party. The
peculiar thing about this ''harmonizing" talk
Is the source from which it comes. The only
ones who desire TO "reOrganiZe" the party are
those who either gave the party a bare sup
port in the two last presidential campaigns or
those who boted the party In 1896 and gave
their support to the Palmer-Buckner ticket.
Now if the leaders of the republican party
should talk about "reorganizing" the demo
cratic party. it would be taken as joke.
But wherein lies the difference between mem.
bers of the republican party and members OF
the Palmer-Buckner or some other party
talking about "harmonizing" and 'reorgan-
izing" the democratic party?
When the democratic party needs reorgan-
izing it will be done by those within the
party and not by those without. But at pres
ent The party needs no recognizing. Those
who worked for and voted for the plat
forms and candidates Of 1896 and 1900, have no
complaint to make. They are very well sat
isfed and are ready to 90 into the campaign
of 1904 with the same enthusiasm that anl'
mated and encouraged them IN the two las'
presidential campaigns. And with such
declaration of principles as those Of the last
campaign and with the same gallant leader
there can be but little doubt as to what this
result Will be.

NEW RACE DISCOVERED.

Lieut.. Lorenzo \. Declairmont, L. ;. ~,
formerly of the Philippine scouts, has arrived
at San Francisco with a startling story Of the
existence in the interior Of Mindoro Island of
a perfectly white race, semicivilized, partly
Christianized, but cruelty hostile in their dis
couragemcnt Of communication with the out
side world. The few that have been permit
ted to penetrate the fastness Of these exclusive
CaucaSians, says Lieutenant DeclairmOnt tell
tales of a country rich in vegetable and min
eral wealth, a people skilled in domestic
crafts, gentle and hospitable, but well enough
satisfied with their little world to resent in
trusion. Although their existence, he says,
was first discovered % years ago, little has
been heard of this isolated people outside Of a
small official circle in Madrid. Lieutenant
Declairmont was stationed at Pabbilao Tasja-
bas Province, in Mind0ro, and the story was
| told to him, he says by Manuel Castro a ma
tive. and was cOrroborated by the local priest
| and by the presidente of the province. 81 in

Declairmont. "and satisfied myself that a race

REMARKABLE ELECTRIC DISPLAY
The most remarkable display of light
ming ever seen in the Rocky Mountain
country prevailed over Butte, Montana,
for an hour between and ) clock yes
terdav morning. The heavens were one
continuous sheet of flame, without =
moment Of intermissiOn, and thousands
of people were aroused from their slum-
bers by the brightness or the strange
phenomenon. Nearly everything be-
came more or less charged with electric
ity, and many persons were injured by
coming in contact with articles connected
with electric light and telephone wires,
even several hours after the electric dis
play in the heavens had ceased. Alfred
L. Rhodes, Of Aurora, ILL.,, an employe
of the Cudahy Packing Company, in
Butte. was killed by an electric shock
that came from a stack Of meat in the
refrigerator car. When he first entered
the car he received a violent shock by
touching a piece OF timber. He was
dragged out by fellow-employe and
after great difficulty his life was saved.
A short time later he went back in the
car to resume work and touched a pile
of meat and was instantly killed. Cor
oner johnson, while investigating the
accident, touched another pile Of meat
and was nearly killed He remained
unconscious for an hour. A dozen or
more people in different parts Of the city
received severe shocks.

IOWA IS OPTIMISTIC.

Iowa university is nothing If not optimistic in
football In spite Of the low estimate placed
upon the hawkeye team by members Of other
Iowa elevens, Manager McClain thinks his men
ran defeat the gophers, indicated in the fol-
lowing dispatch from Iowa City:
ager McClain, Of the University Of Iowa eleven,
yesterday, between halves. ''Well, 1 do not
care to predict defeat for the gophers but I
have hesitancy in declaring that they will
have harder game on their hands on Oct. 20
than Ames gave them Saturday. Our men are
rounding to in great shape, and they faster
on their feet, in their general work and
play together better than three weeks later last
They will surely give Minnesota hard
rub"
Despite Manager McClain's sanguine words,
Or. Knipe is feeling blue the failure of
the men to reach that standard of unity that
be has set for his teams since he came to
Iowa The clockwork Of the old Iowa team
Of 1900 is missing, and until 1t again there
is little hope that Iowa will have an eleven of
real champions.
The coach Is putting the men through hard.
fast. twenty minute halves every day now. using
second eleven for ten minutes and the other
second team for the last ten minutes. DR.. knipe
Is drilling his thirty-three best players in q
quarterback fake play that he thinks will
accomplish much in the coming games. 1t in
wolves the ends and a halfback, and by it the
enemy Is beguiled into massins its plays against

ability in AIcGowan, Of Clear Lake, Iowa,

quarterback, who msde big hit in Iowa las

less make the eleven in due time.
