A CALL FOR CAMpRET,r;

James Campbell, chairman of the Hartford democratic town committee. is out with a few observations on Tuesdays holocaust MT Campbelps own personal opinion is that it was the departure from rectitude and the absence of principle that cost the democrats the election. We have never been disposed to accept MT Campbell as the embodiment of prin- clple himself, but perhaps he is as qualified to note and proclaim it's ab- sence as any man in Connecticut. If MT Campbell should happen to meet up with 8 High Moral Principle. which, by the way, he never has. he might recognize it as such, and caIl it by name, and again he might not. However, he would be certain to de tect the presence of a stranger in the neighbOrhood, and so, when he says it ain't there the. High Moral Principle) we guess it ain't.
 The truth of the matter is that Mir Campbell is too modest. It is he and the men like him who have discredited and betrayed and sold out the demo- cratic party ins Hartford, just as other men like him have discredited, be- trayed and sold it out in New Haven. There can be no democratic victory until the CampbeI1s arc weeded out. The brethren are now engaged in tell ing few plain truths about each oth- CT. The democracy will be wise if 1t takes them all at their word, and, in the language of Colonel Watterson. say Seat, you devils l"-New Haven Union.

Those people who would tie this
 country up to England better beware lest the mother country" get the upper hand in few years and put the muz-
 gle on us as she is doing to certain of
 her subjects. Here is the story of the
 way Member of Parliament O'Donnell
 has been hounded for a few years, as told in the London Daily News: What is the story of this man who last night used pretty rough means for forcing his speech on the prime minis ter? In the first place, Mir O'Donnell has spent eighteen months of the last few years of his life in jail. He has been singled out for prosecutions should say prosecution again and again. And now, by the malice of the petty executive agents who are sitting upon him to judge him, he is under sentence to spend six weeks on plank bed and nine days on bread and water. Even that is not the worst of it. For two years this member of parliament has not been able to open his mouth on the public platform in his own con stituency. When he has spoken out side the limits of his district he has been charged and sentenceds but among his own people he has been silenced not by form of law, but by the mere violence of the police No sooner does he appear at any meeting than he is rushed at by the constabu- lary and torn off the platform. For two years this silence has been en- forced upon him. This silenced mem Der gets up in the house of commons, and he is instantly closured. Tn q word, he. might just as well have been fitted with a patent muzzle for all the chance he has had of communicating either with his own people or with the imperial parliament of which he is a member'

REVOLUTION FAILS.
President Castro Gives Rebels
 No Rest.
STOCK OF AMMUNITION EXHAUSTED
headers of Rebellion Fleeing to the Mountains-The sudden Change In the Situation I'm Venezuela
 BetOkens Peace.

LA VICTORIA, Venezuela, Nov. s. News has been received here concern ing the retreat of the revolutionary forces. It is to the effect that on the night of Nov. the revOlutionists with drew from their positions near La Vic toria and San Mateo because they were without ammunition. The fact that the rebels lacked cartridges caused a disagreement between General Ma tos and General Rolando, which was followed by hot words. General Ro- lando declared that the shortage of ammunition was the fault of General Matos and that if the success of the revolution was endangered by this condition General Matos alone was re- sponsible. He said that all was lost, and, with his followers, about 3,2O0 men, he withdrew from the main body of the rebels in the direction of Alta Gracia. It is reported that General Rolando proclaimed '.El Mocho" Her. nandez as the leader of the revolution.
 President Castro since he discovered that the revolutionists only retreated because of their absolute lack of ana-. munition has caused them to be pur- sued day and night by government sol diers.
 The latest report issued by the gov erhment says that Generals Mates, Mendoza and Riera and their com mands are fleeing in disorder in an ef- fort to reach the mountainous districts. These generals are supposed to be near Barrera, point twelve miles from the lake of Valencia.
 Guerrillas in the service of the gov ernment have captured and brought to President Castro certain records and documents belonging to members of General Matos' personal staff as we'll as the generals personal correspond ence. The contents of these papers give evidence of the critical situation of the leaders of the revolution.
 It is difficult to understand the ap- parent sudden and complete collapse of the revolutionary movement. But 2 few days ago the rebels seemed to be upon the eve of victory, while today their cause seems absolutely lost.
 President Castro, having sent his men in all directions to cut off the re- treat of the enemy, left here for Cara cas-. The government soldiers who are following up the rebels scored their first success yesterday by the capture of General Ramon Luizi, who was making his way in the direction of Alta Gracia with 100000 rounds of ammunition and 4,060 men to re-en- force therevo volutionists.
 From here President Castro goes to Los Teques, which point was aban- doned by the rebels Thursday. From Los Teques the president will go by rail to Caracas, arriving there tomor- row morning He will then take his place at the head of the government.
 Photographic communication between La Victoria and Caracas has been re- stored.

The effect of scivil service reform, says a Washington correspondent, has been most marked in Washington dur ing the past week. Formerly 1t was the custom for campaign committees to assess government employees the amount of their railroad fare to. their 4.o.4.,s, -.-.t. - back. This amount was then placed with the railroads and all who desired to go home to vote could secure tickets on, application. Such funds as were not so utilized, however, were returned to the campaign com mittees The civil, service regulations now prohibit all assessments, however, and instead of 10000 clerks going home to vote, as formerly, barely 1000 did so, and, according to statements made aside from the heads of the depart ments, the men who went home were in the. majority of instances the least valuable clerks. those who hold their positions rather as result of political influence than by meritorious service.

The recent statement sent out to the effect that the military forces in the Philippines would be reduced to 5000 or 10000 men is denied at the war de partment in Washington. It is said that the six troops of the Ninth cavalry brought over on the transport Sheridan marked the end of the reduction now contemplated by the administration. There are now ten regiments of infan- try, five of cavalry and several de tachments of artillery and engineers in the islands, constituting a combined force of 1T, 900 men, which it is the in tention of Secretary Root to continue there as g permanent garrison. There are also 1000 native constabulary which perform the necessary patrol duty, the regular troops being all in garrison except when needed to appre- hend some rioting Iadrone or to put down some petty uprising. Tn addi- ton to the advisabiIity of maintaining an adequate force in the Philippines,' said prominent army officer yester- day, it must be appreciated that it is of material advantage to the United States to be able to retain an army of the same proportions as those of the European powers in the neighborhood of the Orient.

The elections are over and the com plexion of the fifty -ei ighth congress is determined. Tn the senate the re publicans will have q majority of 22 and in the house of representatives of 26. In the present congress they have majority of 20 in the senate, if Henry M. Teller, silverite, be counted with the democrats. with whom he has recently voted. Tn the house they have majority of AT. From a republican standpoint the re- cent election has been a confirmation by the people of their approval of re- publican policy and an additional tes- timony of the popularity of President Roosevelt. From the democratic standpoint there is much to rejoice at in the reduced majorfties2 of many re- publican candidates and the immense vote rolled up by the city of New York. It is freely claimed, among the democratic leaders in Washington, that the democrats actually carried
 x VI
 New York state. but that the republi- cans, being in control of all the elec- ton machinery, altered the returns to suit themselves. As it is, they are inclined to turn to the view which Senator Vest took of the situation in the early part of the campaign, viz: That it would be better even for the democratic party to give the republi- cans an opportunity to fulfill the pledges they were making on the stump. The senator maintained that they would not fulfill those pledges and that the people would become in censed before 1904 at the lack of faith on the part of the victorious party.
