MAJ. BACON ’ INTERVIEWED/ What He Has to Say About the Outlook for the Dem ocratic Party. PROSPECTS NEVER BETTER, He Predicts An Overwhelming Ma jority at the Next Session of Congress. Senator A. O. Bacon, in a Washington interview xays that the Democratic out look is better than it haa been tor ten y<ars past in spite of the fact that the party hat* within that time elected a pres ident. Senator Bacon made this statement in response to a question I put to him as to what were his views of the political sit uation at the beginning of this year. "For the first time since Cleveland’s first election dotw the party present practically a solid front here in congress. 1 take it tnai. congress pretty closely represents the the country. Even as early as 1881 there appeared a slight rift in the party. Cer tain leaders began to pull in opposite di rections from the majority of Democrats. This rift gradually widened until it finally culminated in 1896, when a portion of the party cut itself off from the main body and styled itself the National Democracy. The regular Democrats, in spite of this, polled more votes )a«t year than they had over polled before in the history of the party. Today we find them an absolute unit in their organization and in their confession of party fealty. For the first time in three years the Democrats of the house vote as one man on all party questions. In the senate the Democratic party presents a solid phalanx against the encroachments of corporate power and the suppression of Indivdual liberty. There arc still Dem ocrats in the senate who style themselves gold Democrats, but they no longer r< pre sent the Democratic party on the money issue. What we have lost in these we have more than made up by Republicans who have left their party on this ques tion. DEMOCRATIC ORG \NIZATION. "The Democratic organization is made up of tnen who stand squarely on the Dem ocratic platform as announced at Chicago. Tlte party today is in batter and healthier condition than ilt has been since 1886. It Is far stronger titan it was last year and its record has been one of continued growth In the conviction of Democratic princi ples. “There is no longer room for question as to the position and creed of the Demo cratic party on the coinage question. Whatever question there may have been has now been fully and finally settled. The party stands for true bimetallism, which can only be found in the free coinage of both gold and silver upon absolutely equal terms. Those Democrats who have here tofore entertained different personal views are rapidly conceding their Individual opinions, and are giving in their unquali fied alliance, not only to the organlzatiion, but to the defflnitely announced principles of the party on the coinage question. Those who are not willing to make this concession will naturally drift into the .Re publican party, where in their new affilia tion they must not only stand for trusts, monopolies. high protective tariff but the political companionship of the white and negro races, ■ . 1 '* ■* "The country today looks to the Demo cratic party with more faith 'than it lias done In recent years. The campaign last year purged the parly of those who would let,,’! it under the influences of the money power In the country. I believe that the gold Democrats whd acted and voted with the Republicans are'het.rtily «or>y Ct their misdoings and that three-fourths of them have returned to us. There has been no decrease among those who .aine over to the Democratic party in ISM. Those who were doubtful last year as to the advisa bility of our platform have, through the action of this administration, been 'forced to acknowledge the righteousness of our cause and the correctness of the views put together in Chicago. None of the promises made by the 'Re publican party have been fulfilled. All of Our predictions regarding prosperity prom ised as thf result o's Republican rule have been verified. The administration has done nothing since it has been in power but apologize for the delay Os prosperity and to beg the people to be patient Hitler existing evils. CURRENCY R.EFORM ABANDONED. “Currency reform which was made the Republican shiboleth in the campaign, has practically been abandoned and we find the party in power more divided that the Democrats were at the time of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman aot. Nearly six months have passed since the new tariff was enacted, and yet we see deficits in our government revenues occur ring as regularly as the reports roll around. There has been some slight im provement in the West, owing to the in creases! advance in the price of wheat. But the starving people of India and of other countries, and the shortage of crops elsewhere are responsible for this, and not the Dingley ta-riff law. Even Speaker Reed was forced to cry out against the claims of partisans that wheat had been advanc ed ott account of the tariff. As near as I can remember.he said in one of his articles that no tnan with an atom of love for his fellow man. would ever be willing to see wheat advance to a dollar accom panied by the terrible destruction of hu man life which has been the cause of it. Low price* for products and idle labor still prevail. Wages have been reduced in the northeast, the very section es the country which clamors loudest for a protective tariff bill. Strikes have been ensued, and today the battle between labor and capital is as fierce along the rock-bound coast of New England as it was when we were liv ing under a lower tariff and the election of McKinley seemed doubtful. WOLCOTT AND GAGE. "Here in the senate we have just been presented with a spectacle of a faithful follower of McKinley arraigning the sec retary of the treasury and scoffing at his views. We find president McKinley in 'the attitude of Ix»rd Ullin's daughter, 'One arm stretched for aid and the other around her lover.” save that in this ease we don’t know whether Secretary Gage or Senator Wolcott is the lover. Doubtless he would toe happy if either of them were away. "At the expense of a hundred thousand dollars a commission was sent abroad to promote bimetallism. Before that com mission made its report the secretary of the treasury, with the apparent endorse ment of the president, has a bill intro duced to commit us more securely to the gold standard and with a provision to re tire our green backs. Then came the charge that Mr. Gage was embarrassing the president. The generally accepted opinion is that the former offered to re sign but that the resignation was rejected. This, under ordinary circumstances, would mean that the president heartily approves of his secretary. But the faint hope is still held out to the bimetallists that the president stands with them. All of this forces me to believe that the international feature of the St. Louis currency plank was put in with a view of holding silver Republican votes and to tempt D<mocrats with international bimetallic views to vote for McKinley. "So we find the rift in the Republican party. It is one that will widen until every bimetallist will be forced to either take his stand on the Chicago platform or to wave the single gold colors of Sec retary Gage. The inconsistency and bad faith with which the bimetallist* of the Republican party have been treated will force hundreds of Thousands of them to leave the regular organization and follow I Senator Teller and Representative Towne. REPUBLICANS DIVIDED. "It has not been quite a year since the Republicans were given all the power they asked, the house, the senate and the exec- ! utive. We find them at this time divided, fretful and with little hope. On the other hand the Democratic party is united, full of hope, confidence and enthusiasm. It is in splendid condition for a struggle, and its rejuvinated limbs long for the race. "In Che meantime the great floating vote is disappointed, dissatisfied, if not disgus ted. I believe this year will see the De mocracy triumphant in the house, fore shadowing a greater victory in the presi dential year of 1900.” CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. A Pleasant Simple, But Safe Effectual Cure for it. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloat ing sensation after eating, accompanied some times with sour or watery risings, a formation of gasses, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breath ing; headache, fickle appetite, nervous ness and a general played out, languid feeling. There Is often a foul taste In the mouth, I coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a . slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate I trouble is found in a treatment which , causes the food to be readily, thoroughly i digested before it has time to ferment and ■ irritate the delicate mucouss surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy diges tion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the ca tarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest I and best treatment is to use after each ; meal a tablet composed of Diastaste, Asep tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of S mart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a atent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and through digestion will follow their regu lar use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher, 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poi sonous discharge therefrom, passing back ward into the tliroat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me three years for catarrh of the stomach without cure, but today I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find, appro priate words to express my good feeling. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and morft convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious ness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloat ing after meals. Send for little book, mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart Co.. Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be found at a drug store. COMMISSION On ihc Omaha Exposition Will Meet in Macon To morrow Morning, The Georgia Commission on the Omaha convention will meet in Macon tomorrow. The members of the conventin will meet in the Chamber of Commerce, and during their stay in the city will be made very welcome by those who are interested in the exposition.

The Talk of the Enlargement of the La nier Is all Bosh. The new hotel question seems to have stirred up in men interested in hotel prop erty the desire to prevaricate and pile bluff upon bluff until the general public lives in an atmosphere of luxurious mod ern tourist hotels, which, after all, are only castles in the air. The latest is the announcement that the Hotel Lanier is to be enlarged and exten ded up to the Telegraph corner and that the Johston estate, which owns the prop erty from the Hotel Lanier up to the cor ner. has agreed to take $75,000 for the property. The building, with the ground, furnish ings. etc., will cost about $150,000, which the manager of the Hotel Lanier is quoted as saying Mr. Georgf Plant is ready to furnish, but the trouble about it is that Mr. Plant says that he has never had any such idea and no one can be found who has. except some individual with a strong imagination, who desires to ward off the inevitable which must follow the building of a modern hotel upon any site other than that now occupied by the Hotel Lanier. There is absolutely nothing in the talk of the enlargement of the Hotel Lanier, and it remains to be seen whether there is anything in the hotel talk anyway.

Danbury, Conn., Jan. 24. —A practical joke that nearly cost a life was perpetrat ed on Al Higson. a few miles from this city. Higson was working for Fred West. Three men came into the yard and sug gested that It would be be a good joke to hang Higson to a tree and scare Mrs. West when she should come out of the house. Higson thought it would be a good joke, too, and allowed the men to bang him. Then they called Mrs. West out and ran away. Mrs. West, instead of cutting him down, fainted. In a few minutes Mr. West came home and found the man hanging to a tree and his wife unconscious in the yard. He cut the man down and then re suscitated his wife. He found it more difficult to bring Higson to consciousness, but succeede after some time. CA.STOn.TA. The zy ilnils //f is cs *lriz:ur«Z // —i—~~ every es /-dZ/LAi# tapper.

It Will Be Invaluable as an Adjunct to the Protection of the Smaller Towns. A movement is on foot and will probably be started in this city to establish a South ern school of embalming. Some of rhe leading undertakers in the country are interested and there is no doubt that the movement will be started. A general outline of the plan is to elect the proper person as an instructor in mod ern embalming, who, with a physician of recognized standing, will visit the differ ent cities and towns in the south for the purpose of lecturing, and where feasible, giving practical demonstrationss of the art of embalming, coupled with the science of sanitation, which has become a regular ad junct of the embalmer’s work. And this subject of sanitation being in cluded the lectures of the Southern em balming school will be thrown open to boards of.health and city officials. In this case the .work of the school will be in valuable a4 affording opportunity for everyone to become better acquainted with the methods of sanitation to be employed in the case of epidemics. An effort will be made to secure a state board of embalming and sanitation in all the Southern states. Under this plan only those who have attended the course of lec tures of the Southern School of Embalm ing, and who pass a satisfactory exami nation before the state board will be al lowed to embalm in any of the Southern states. The movement is considered timely be cause of the general demand for a more complete knowledge of the business, and especially of the subject of sanitation on the part of the undertakers as affording greater public safety in the case of infec tious diseases. The modern embalmer is an expert on these subjects and his services and his work in most of the Southern cities will be invaluable, while the state board will ■afford protection for the experts against quacks. MARION_MANOLA Resigned Because Her Man ager Secured Her Picture In Tights By a Trick. The engagement of Jack Mason and Marion Manola in “Friend Fritz” at the Academy of Music tonight is sure to bring out a big house. This is as it should be. The comedy is one of the best that was ever staged. It has been received everywhere with en thusiasm and is pronounced a credit to the American stage. Jack Mason and his wife Marion Manola make a combination hard to beat and in this production they are at their best. Theater goers should be out in large numbers tonight and the attraction should receive the support it deserves. Macon always patronizes a good attrac tion and they will reflect credit upon their own good judgment by seeing tonight’s performance. Apropos of the announcement of the en gagement of Miss Adelaide Mason to Charles Dana Burrows, a nephew of Thomas B. Reed, the following almost for gotten story aliout her mother, Marion Manola, will be read with interest; Bight years ago ’»ai ion Manola was singing at the Casine New York, and was the reigning queen of otnic opera. De- Wolf Hopper was the leading comedian of the Casino forces at that time. Hopper and Miss Manola were such great favorites that a syndicate of capi talists, at the head of which was William Steinway, the piano manufacturer, was formed to back a new comic opera organ ization, with DeWolf Hoper as the star and Miss Manola as his prima donna, Ac cording the DeWolf Hopper Opera Bouffe Company was orgainzed. The first pro duction made by the new organization was entitled “Castles in the Air,” and it was given at the Broadway theater, where it scored a big hit. The management of the company de sired Miss Manola to have her photograph taken in costume, consisting of tights, and she refused. Repeated, but unavail ing, efforts were made to get the photo graph, which was wanted for advertising purposes. Finally the manager hit upon a bright idea. He had a flash-light photograph of the stage taken during the performance, while Miss Manola was on the stage. By this little trick the manager secured his photograph, but lost the services of his prima donna, as Miss Manola Imme diately resigned her place. The reason Miss Manola gave for not wishing her phatograph taken was that she had a daughter, then about 8 years old, attending school in a convent, and she did not wish her daughter, she said, to blush at the sight of her mother’s pic ture in tights, when she had grown up, Klaw & Erlanger control the booking of the following attractions, the majority of which uave already been booked for appearance at the Grand next season: W.

It is Said That Murderer Holmes Still Lives. Chicago, HL, Jan. 24. —The Inter Ocean has this remarkable story: “H. H. Holmes was never hanged in Philadelphia, May 7, 1896, as the newspa pers reported, and as the people who wit nessed the alleged execution believed. On the contrary, as he always declared he would do, he has cheated the gallows, and is today alive and well, growing coffee at San Parinarimbo, Paraguay, South Amer ica.” This is the extraordinary statement I made by Herbert Lattimer, a resident of’ I Englewood, and a man who, having been intimately acquainted with Holmes, and a frequent visiter at the “castle," was at one time reported in the long list of tihe multi-murderer’s alleged victims. The story of Holmes’ alleged escape from death, as LattSmer tells it, is as sen sational as any of the events connected with the career of this extraordinary crim inal. According to the story, a body strongly resembling that of Holmes in height, weight and general appearance, was smuggled into the jail at Philadelphia and placed under the scaffold, later being substituted on the rope as the real living Holmes. Within two hours of the hanging an un dertaker's wagon, containing a casket, was supposed to contain rhe body’ of Holmes Instead, it is alleged, it con tained Holmes living. The horse was lash ed into a run, and quick time was made to Mount Morriah Cemetery, where the cas ket, instead of being entombed, was de posited in a vault. That night, it is alleged that cadaver was smuggled out of the prison and taken to .the cemetery, where it was placed in a casket, from which the living Holmes had been released some hours previously. Be fore midnight Holmes, his face cleanly shaven and in new anl elegant clothing, was calmly seated in a New York hotel reading of his supposed execution. A few days later, under an assumed name, he was on his wa to Paraguay. It is further alleged that, after having made his arrangements to reside perma nently in South America, he sent to the United States for at least one, and per haps two of his alleged victims, through whose disappearance he had profited, and that he is now living with them.
