James X. Jones In New York.

New York City Dispatch
James K. Jones, chairman of
the Democratic national committee
who ran the two Bryan campaI gus,
spent last week comforting with
Democratic leaders here.
Chairman Jones kept strict sill.
ence as to the purpose of his visit,
and the friends of Judge Parker
were extremely curious as to the
meaning of II.
81 am not talking politics at all
now" said Chairman Jones. "This
is good time for Democrats to
keep still and do a lot of good,
hard thinking. Nothing should be
said that will create hard feelings
or estIange Democrats. We have
"A delicate situation to deal with,
and the least that is SAID the easier
il will be TO bring about harmony.
For this reason / have refused to
discuss candidates or platforms
in any way. The convention in
my own state of Arkansas will not
be held until late in June, and at
this time | cannot even guess
what the state will do"
Chairman Jones thinks that the
trust issue is sure to be paramount
in the campaign and for that rea.
son the lack of vigor in the New
York state platform declaration
on that subject may not have
general approval. He advocates
a candidate and q platform EN-.
phatically com mite d against
trusts.
Senator Jones believes that it
will be necessary at ST. Louis to
appease both the Bryan men and
the conservatives. TO do this il
is said he will urge the adoption
of plank, not reatlirming the old
platforms, but saying that the
Democrats were right on those
questions, but that the money
issue is not now before the people.
He thinks this will bring about
harmony and satisfy the Bryan
men.
Mr.. Jones sympathizes with the
course advocated by Murphy Of
sending uninstructed delegations
TO ST. Louis.

Special Washington D. C., Correspondence.
A thing that has attracted uni
versaI attention here among the
leading Democrats, is speech
made by Hon. VIM. r. Hearst, OF
New York, before the House Com
mittee on Judiciary, on invitation
hy that committee. The occasion
was the consideration by that
committee of the joint resolution
introduced sometime ago by Mr.
Hearst to the effect that the AT
torney General Of The United
States be requested TO furnish
the House with all the evidence
in the suit against the Coal Trust
brought by Mr.. Hearst many
months ago, given into the keep
ing of the Attorney General, and
which has been sleeping ever
since in the pigeon holes of his
desk, and further providing that a
commission of the House and
Senate, consisting of seven mem
bers, be appointed to go through
the testimony thus furnished 10y
Mr.. Hearst and report if any case
had been made out against the
Coal Trust, the entire facts in the
case. in order that the proper
legislation might be enacted to
the end that justice might be done
the consuming public, the proper
punishment administered 10 the
Coal Trust and restraint fixed up.
on its future operations. Mr..
Hearst spoke for an hour, and a
number Of the members of the
committee, in commenting upon
the speech, said that it was the
clearest exposition and the most
lucid explanation Of any subject
that has ever come before the
committee. This was cause for
some little astOnshment on the
part Of many members Of the
House, who had, up to this time,
believed that Mr.. Hearst was in,
capable Of making a speech simply
because he had not been on his
feet listening to the sound of his
voice all during this session,
They are now beginning to take
off their hats TO his intellectually
rs well as to his popularity.
One thing that has served to
add TO this popularity was the
birth ofa boy in his home on the
23d Of April, The advent of this
child has served to stop the voice

Helen keller's Sermon.
From the COmmonar.

FIOul Nnt NOlnUlpnel
Helen Keller has recently issued
through CrOwell & Co. of New
York little book entitled "Optim-
ism" Helen Keller, it will be re-.
membered, is the blind and deaf
girl whose wonderful progress has
demonstrated how much can be
accomplished by one who lacks
both sight and hearing-the two
avenues through which most Of
the information from the outside
world reaches us. The little book
is really sermon on Optimism
divided into three parts-Optim.
ism Within, Optimism Without,
and The Practice of Optimism.
She administers 10 the pessimist
this sound and wholesome rebuke /:
"Who shall dare let his incapacity
for hope or goodness cast shadow
upon the courage Of those who bear
their burdens as If they were privil.
egesH
The lessons of hope and cour.
age come with great force from
one who might find more reason
than most people for taking n
gloomy view Of life. One is better
for having read what Helen Keller
says, and those who are inclined
TO feel proud Of the nations con.
duct IN the Philippine Islands,
will do well to read her comment
on that subject. She refuses TO
accept col0niNlism az the settled
policy of this country, and prefers
to believe that better counsels
will prevail than have been thus
far followed. She says:
IL know the unhappy and unrighte.
ous story Of what has been done In the
! Philippines beneath our flag but be.
lieve that In the accidents Of statecraft

the civil wars there were millions Of
peaceful herdsmen aud laborers who
worked as long IA they could, and fed
! before the advance Of the armies that
were led by the few, then waited until
the danger was past, and returned TO
repair damages with patient hands, So
the people are patient and honest, while
their rulers stumble, rejoice to sse IN
