chase the property as the agent OF Cyrus

the company Later, the witness said. he
purchased the property on his own ac-
count, although he felt all along that he

Washington, Nov. l-Rebels in Santo

II seems almost certain that naval inter-
vention similar to the occupation OF
Nicaragua by marines ana bluejackets'

II is confidently expected here that this
Government soon win assume complete
control Of the finances of the Dominican
republic and maintain such management
until il is evident that the government is
capabIa of running It's own affairs. Re-
ports reaching the Department of state
indicate that the funds of the republic
are being misappropriated and that finan-
ciaI conditions have reached grave
stage under the Victoria administration.

COULDN'T AFFORD RISK

The Louisville Herald recites the
following little story:
She was from the country. Her
humble garb and timid mien pro-
claimed it as she entered hesitating-
ly a Fourth-street dairy lunch room,
where she seemed bewildered by
the array OF mirrors and lights.
"I'd like a cup OF coffee, please"
she said, as she deposited the proper
amount upon the counter.
With a sigh of relief as the
steaming beverage was placed be-
fore her, she placed a large black
travelling bag upon the counter and
began dragging out the contents.
First came a pair of wooden mits,
then a spectacle case, well-worn
pocketbook, a handkerchief, a few
small packages wrapped in paper
and last Of all, two beautifully white
eggs.

TERROR IN THE HEARTS
OF GENIAL GRAFTERS
Who Have for Years Been
LOOting the General
Government.

One of the ablest and most cour-
ageous Democrats in Congress is
Ben Johnson. chairman Of the Dis
trict of Columbia COMMITTEES. and
We do not suppose there is another
member OF the House of Represen-
tatives so thoroughly hated by the
gTafters and Treasury hooters. who
have for years been looting the gen.
eral Government through the Dis
/ trict appropriation bills, as this
same democratic Democrat. Ben
johnson made a name for himself in
his native State. serving as a mem
! Der OF the Legislature. Internal
Revenue Collector. Speaker of the
House. State Senator. and IS now
serving his third term in Congress.
He is in the prime Of life, of tall.
commanding presence, genial and
cordial to all who meet him, and
positive in his convictions when
once made. That he has sized up
the situation here in the District OF
Columbia pretty accurately, and has
struck terror 70 the hearts OF these
genial grsfters who have so long
carried things with high hand. is
putting It mildly. The brazen ef-
frontery of the Republican newspa-
pers of the District OF Columbia IN
making war upon him, even before
he had been named as chairman Of
the District Committee, shows to
what lengths this band Of best
citizens" so-called. will go.
That they have overplayed their
hand and teuRa-iRsteaa ot e weak
ling, susceptible to their time-worn
custom OF dinners and social func-
tions. an honest. courageous man
anxious and willing to do justice to
all Of the people, inside and outside,
Of the District of Columbia-has
now dawned upon them with terri
bic force. And the National Dem
ocrat trusts that the real Demo-
Gratis Of the House will hold up Mr.
Johnson's hands in his fight for
honesty and principle, and not be
led astray by the unjust attacks Of
the local ard designing Republican

MEETING TO PROTEST
AGAINST PARCELS-POSI
To Be Held at Nashville, Febru.
airy 26.B-Last Meeting
Was Success.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 5.-(Spec-
iaD-An Anti-Parcels-Posts Con-
vention to protest against the pas
sage of the present or any other
measure proposed in Congress for
the purpose of establishing a par
cels-posts system in this country, is
called to meet in Nashville, Febru-
AIRY 26-27-2S. Last spring a like
convention was held in this city, at
which 1000 representative mer-
chants from the States OF Tennessee,
Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia and
Mississippi. we're present. At that
meeting sufficient sentiment was
created against the then pending
parcels-pOst measure in Congress as
10 materially assist in causing it's
postponement and temporary de-
feat. 1t is hoped to again accom-
plish a like result this time, when
a much larger attendance promises
to be on hand from the same terri
tory.
The jobbing and manufactur-
ing interests of this city, and in fact
the country at large, are combined
with their principal commercial al
lies, the retail merchants, to pre-
vent the passage o. parcel-posts
measure, which they claim would
directly and ruinously AFFECT their
respective business at the same time
that it would create a subsidy in
the interest Of mail-order houses in
a few large cities. This convention
is for the purpose OF expressing the
sentiments Of southern commercial
interests relative to the general par
cel-posts idea. Both sides OF the
question. however, will be heard
from.
Arrangements are being made
here for the presence OF a much
larger convention than last year.
Special rates will be offered by all
railroads and an attractive program.
which will include social features
and the presence of speakers OF ma
ton reputation, is being prepared.
