Demopolis, Jan, 1S-(Special)-Th the blood hounds which the city recent ly purchased are valuable was demon strated last night when Policeman Cliff l ford Phares made an important arrest of a negro for house-breakinB and stealing money from a trunk after he had broken 1t open with an axe. About 9:30 o'clock Thursday night while Coleman and Emma Robertson. who reside in the neighborhood known as Baptist Hill, where attending a lodge meeting negro broke open their. house and also a trunk contain ing $50.
 The police department was notified and Policeman Phares was soon on the scene with two dogs. The hounds took the trail and followed 1t for over a mile, when they returned to the scene of the burglary and taking a fresh trail went straight down the railroad, where a number of negroes had com gregated to watch the race. The new hounds went straight to one of the negroes in the crowd, jumping at his collar. The captured negro proved to be George Goree, and the negroes claim that he was the only person on the out side who was aware that the money was in the house. He went with them as far as the lodge door on the night of the robbery, and it is supposed that he returned to the house and commit ted the deed when soon after leaving the lodge door.
 Qoree made a confession to the police late Friday afternoon, aeknow- ledging that he was one of the rob- bers and implicated another negro by the name of Ike Moore. Goree also told the officers where they would find s6 of the stolen money. The police went to the designated place and re- covered the money.
 Goree claims that his partner in the robbery has skipped with the remaind- CT of the money.

it was joyfully proclaimed that old
General Apathy had been routed, but
he returned to the field as soon as the
Standard Oil exposures and the war of
letters following them had ceased to
be a nine-days' wonder. Chairmen
Hitchcock and Mack are agreed that
just now he is in complete mastery of
the field, and they know of no way to
make a successful attack upon his in
trenchments.
Neither party seems able to guess
as to which will suffer the more from
this lack of interest, so no one knows
whether it would be good politics or
not to try to dispel the apathy.
1t is this very condition that encour-
ages the belief that President Harri-
sons prophesy may be realized. Under
such political methods as he foresaw,
the vote undoubtedly would be lighter,
at least until such time as Ameri-
cans are better educated to the duties
of citizenship; but if both parties suf-
fered equally neither would have any
cause of complaint on that score.

Old Conditions Will Reign No
More, 1t Is Now De-
clared.
NEW FEATURES THIS YEAR.
PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Is A STEP IN THE RIGHT DiREC-
rIoN-ALL CORRUPTION TO BE
GOTTEN RID OF.

Washington, Oct. 24.-1t is the belief
Of good many men prominently
identified with politics that there is
to be a revolution in campaign meth
DDS and that the next presidential
contest will be fought on radically
different lines from those now in
vogue.
There has been a free-and-easy as
sumption that the methods of this year
mark a very great improvement over
those Of eight or ten years ago. This
is true in degree, but not in princi-
pie. Both the great parties have gone
about the task of electing a president
in the same old way, and the publicity
in receipts and expenditures Is about
the only novel feature. There is an
absence of downright corruption. 1t
is true, but as there have been cam
paigns in the past in which corrup-
ton was absent this fact is not entitled
to be classed as novel.
II would be useless to attempt pre-
diction at this time as to what would
be the main features Of the new school
of politics it is promised we are to
have but it is agreed, for one thing
that there has got to be some method
of raising money. 1t undoubtedly is
true that there is less proportion o.
tainted money" than ever before,
but we have heard about money, mon
ey, money, ever since the headquarters
were opened. A foreigner might cas-
lily gain the impression that the pri-
mary purpose of the campaign was
the raising of money, instead of the
and the determination Of serious gov.
ernmetal policies.
Campaign Financing.
It is altogether likely that we shall
see revival of the project of having
congress appropriate money to pay
campaign expenses, but this presents
so many difficulties that practical
men in congress regard it as impossi-
ble No one has yet been able to de-
wise a fair method OF apportioning
money voted from the public treasury.
About the only possibly scheme would

, cast at the last previous election, and
this is open to the fatal objection that
it would tend to perpetuate the party
in power. AS the financing of a cam
paign with public funds would neces-
sarily imply that no other funds were
to be used, there would be no oppor-
tunity at all for new political move
ments.
For example, suppose that next
month the republican and democrats
between them should poll rs per cent
of the popular vote, leaving % per cent
to be divided between the smaller par
ties. Under congressional appropria
ton of campaign funds. four years
from now the republicans and demo

AID POPE'S REFORM
Pope Plus Desires Sugges-
tons of the American
Bishops.
new CODE OF CHURCH LAWS

Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-American pre-
lates who have returned from Rome
bring the information that the bishops
who have lately visited the pope have
been asked to institute a plan by which
he can have their advice in the work
of codifying the laws of the church
This work constitutes the chief of
the reforms which Plus X. has under
taken. Obsolete laws are to disap-
pear, laws that differ in various coun-
tries without sufficient reason are to be
unified, and laws that are set forth in
obscure phraseology are to be drawn
up in clear terms. In few weeks all
the bishops who rule dioceses will re-
ceive draft of the new code.
Those who lately have had aud
fences with the pope have been request
ed by him to study their draft care
fully. They are to forward to him any
observations they may have to make
This has been specially urged on the
American bishops because of the very
great difference of circumstances, Gus
toms, social complications and natural
obstacles existing here.
When the pope started out to make
this reform he hoped to accomplish it
in five years, but he has done even bet
ter than that. His commission was
made up of Cardinals Rampolla, Satol-
Ii, Gennari, the two Vanutellis. Aghar-
di, Casseta, Cavicchoni, Merry del Val,
Ferrata, Matthew, Wives y Tuto and
Segna. With these as consultors were
Father Wernz, the general of the Je-
suits; Fathers Esser, the Dominican
Janssens, Van Rossum, Lepicier and a
score of others.

Some of the men who are now run
ming things political down in Porto
Rico must have spent awhile in the
United States during the palmy days of
Matt Quay or Boss Croker. Whoever
their teachers were, they have shown
themselves apt pupils. Indeed. they
have tricks of their own that Quay nor
Croker ever dreamed of.
For example, the Republicans re-
Gently advertised an old-time political
rally at Ponce. The un:onists, it hap
pens, have control of the city govern
ment of Ponce, and that Republican
rally didn't look good to them. There
fore, they passed an ordinance forbid
ding the parade and dividing the city
into zones for the purpose of political
assemblage. When the Republicans
came to apply for a permit for their
meeting they were told that meetings
were allowed only in a certain zone.
In that particular zone there was no
place for meeting, and no one would
have attended a meeting held in that
part of the city. So the rally had to
be called off.
Now, it so happens that the repub
licans control the city government OF
San Juan; ,and the day came when the
unionists wanted to hold a rally in
that city. Borrowing phrase from the
/ lesson of Ponce. the San Juan Republi.
can government proceeded to pass such
regulations as made the holding of the
unionist rally impossible. Now each
party is charging the other with-ty.
ranny and abuse of power. and the
/ fight RACES fiercely fiercer.
