CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES,
Sature of the Work Done by the Con
gressional Committee.
The Secretary of the Democratic Or
ganization Gives an Insight Into Its
Working*—Political Literature Re
cently Prepared by the Members—The
Money Contributed for the Work in
Congressional Years Comparatively
Small.
Washington, Oct. 11.—Much appears
from time to time in the newspapers
about the congressional campaign com
mittees. Reports go forth as to what
these committees do, and a great deal
is heard about what those committees
think, and what one committee charges
the opposite committee with having done
or failed to do. and the other committee
reports with flat contradictions. A great
deal of curiosity has been manifested
by many people as to Just who compose
these congressional committees, what
they do and where they do it. Judging
from some of the Inquiries received by
out of town correspondents, many per
sons must believe the committees to
contain a very large number of lucrative
and easy positions.
Such an impression is wrong. All na
tional parties have congressional commit
tees, but there Is no sinecure In any of
them. The work done Is hard and ex
haustive, and except to a person who
lias a particular liking for politics, apt
to grow extremely monotonous. In brief
the business of the committee is to col
lect all possible Information concerning
the political situation in the various con
gressional districts in the country, and
make such use of that information as
will be most likely to secure a victory
of the congresional candidates belonging
to that party by which the committee is
created.
Lawrence Gardner, secretary of the
democratic congressional eommitteo,
complying with the request to satisfy
people's curiosity concerning committee
work, dictated the following replies to the
preceding questions asked him:
"How long have congressional commit
tee* been in vogue?”
"They have been in vogue since the
first contested campaign for the presi
dency of the United States, when notional
campaigns were conducted by congres
sional committee and presidential candi
dates nominated by congressional cau
cus."
"How are they created?”
"They were created by party represent
atives in the House and Senate respect
ttvely and selected in special caucuses.
When they were selected they met jolnly
and elected tholr officers. Of late years
the arrangement has been for'.each dele
gation having representation in congress
to select one member of the delegation.
Where there was no representative in
congress from the Democratic party somo
one of prominence in the state was se
lected, generally at the suggestion of
the chairman of tho state committee. The
senatorial representatives were selected
by the chairman of tho Senate caucus.”
“What are the functions?”
"The functions of the congressional
committee are to elect representatives in
the bower House, members of the legis
lature in the several states, elect United
States senators and to help the party
where they think It best."
"What has this committee done?”
“At one ot the early meetings it was di
vided into several committees; one to pre
pare the cagnpalgn book; one to select the
character of the literature to be prepared
ami sent out, and finally a committee on
finance. The executive committee Is sup
posed to be the one which lays out the
plan of the campaign. The work
of the congressional committee be
gan some months earlier this year
than usual, but the real active work was
delayed because of the uncertainty as to
the action of congress, especially on the
tariff question. During the early months
the time was devoted to collecting statis
tics from all over the country in all con
gressional districts, and to-day we have
the finest lot of tabulated statements of
congressional districts that I think has
ever been prepared. Reports have been
received from the chairmen of the county
committees, from chairmen of state con
gressional committees and from members
of congress. Thus we have collected all
the data posslbio to throw light on the
conditions existing in the several con
gressional districts. When that matter
was collected the next step was to de
termine what districts were absolutely
sure as democratic districts and what dis
tricts were doubtful, and what republican
districts It might be advisable for us to
attack. The policy of the committee has
been that as we had nothing to defend,
we would pursue an aggressive cam
paign.”
"What is the committee doing?"
"The committee on campaign book pre
pared the book that is now before the
public. The demand for it has been un
precedented. We are now printing the
third edition, and front the appearance of
this morning’s mall, I am strongly of the
impression that we will have to order a
fourth edition. The speeches sent out by
the committee have been confined to
tariff and populistic measures, showing
the inconsistencies of that party's posi
tion. The speech of Mr. Pigott of Con
necticut on this subject has received mu-h
attention and I understand the republi
can campaign oommittee has ordered u
large quantity for distribution In some of
the western states, a compliment seldom
conferred on a democratic speaker.
"The speech of Mr. Hall of Minnesota
on ‘What Has Been Done by the Fifty
third Congress' has also been in great
demand. The committee has also issu.d
a series of slips, some of them extracts
of the strongest points of the speeches
delivered In Congress, but the majority of
them bear on special subjects. For In
stance, the Harrison panic, the Increase
In wages, and a numebr of circulars show
ing that the price of wool has Increased
since the passage of the new tariff law.
The number of documents sent out up
to this time Is away up In the millions.
We are to-day Issuing our first posters
showing plctorially the large reduction
under the new tariff hill from the Mc-
Kinley bill.”
"What does your committee propose do
ing now until election day?"
“Up to the present time nearly all our
correspondence, though large, has been
In arranging for literature and campaign
books, and It Js only from now on that
We begin to hear results of tho organiza
tion we have effected. The committee
Will, of course, practically cease sending
out literature by the eml of tho week,
and from that time on devoto Its entire
attention to the organization.”
"What will be the cost of the commit
tee’s work?"
"To do all this work requires money,
which Is received by voluntary contribu
tions from friend* all over the country,
gentlemen interested ln.the success of the
Democratic party. It is generally sup
posed that largo sums are contributed
for this purpose, but In congressional
years this a mistake. The amount Is
comparatively small *o that expended
during a presidential campaign. Th ex
pense of this committee has been excep
tionally small. All that we find neces
sary to pay for Is the rent of our offices,
und our printing ami postage Dills*. The
services of members of the committee
are given free. The stenographer* only
are paid."
"How doe* til* work and cost of this
committee oompure with that of Its pre
decessors?” -

mittee has buen very carefully and y-

tematioally done. While perhaps it may
look a little strange in my saying It inas
much as I have had something to do with
previous committees, it is not intended
to make a comparison detrimental to
committees. I am Arm in the be
lief that the work done by this committee
is far in advance of the work done by any
of its predecessors. I think we have is
sued more literature than any committee
of late years, and at a much smaller cost.”
“Why is it that all official news given
out to the press is of an encouraging
character?”
“It will be readily seen that it would be
folly on the part of the party managers
to tell in advance what their expectations
were, just as much as it would be in a
chess player who sits down to play a
game of chess and informed his opponent
in advance what move he expected to
make and what result he expected. Under
such circumstances he could never expect
to win. A general managing a campaign
would never allow his opponent to know
what he proposed doing, therefore it is
folly to expect predictions from cam
paign managers. It would be hardly nat
ural or reasonable to expect a manager
to say he was going to meet with defeat
a week hence. We are. therefore, com
pelled to claim success where we have no
expectations.”
‘‘Does your committee expect to hold
the next House?”
‘‘This committee does expect that the
democrats will have a majority in the
next House of Representatives, basing its
expectations upon the minute information
of a favorable character received from all
over the country. Of course, there are
points where disaffection exists and there
are spots where there are complications,
but on the whole, considering the short
ness of the campaign, the committee has
every reason to believe that the democrats
have gained their normal strength
throughout the country, and will have a
good working majority In the next llcuso
of Representatives.”
“What is the estimate of the populist
strength in the next House?”
‘‘We are counting on only ten or twelve
at the outside.”
‘‘Has the committee anything to do
with the election of senators?”
‘‘Certainly the committe Is interested
In the lection of senators, and is giving aid
such aid as it is asked to give and can
give in states where legislatures are to be
elected which will choose United States
senators. I am strongly of the belief
that we will Increase our majority in
that body perhaps by three or four votes.”
Does the committee possess any Inform
ation on the question. Will the next
presidential election be thrown into the
House?”
“The committee is not at all disturbed
about the election being thrown into the
House of Representatives. This is the
bogy that has become projected across
the political horizon at different periods
since the election of Jefferson. I do not
think it possible for the Republican party
to make any combination which will
result In preventing the democratic nomi
nees from securing a majority of the elec
toral votes. \Vith the conditions of un
certainty in the country at tho present
time, however, I firmly believe that great
changes will take place in the party or
ganizations within the next two years.”
“Is there any groat difference in con
ducting a congressional campaign a de
cade since and now?”
“There is very little difference In con
ducting a campaign now ami In former
years. There is less bulky literature sent
out and a greater quantity of short, pithy
articles. These articles are sent out in
greater quantities, but the press of this
country plays such an important part in
campaigns and prints so much material
that It is unnecessary to send out any
thing like tho quantity of matter required
in former years. This is a business age,
and the people require short, condensed
articles.”
“Will the time ever ccme, in your opin
ion, when elections will be held to the
satisfaction of the reform element of the
land?”
“No. What the reform element of to
day is may be looked upon as the corrupt
element two years hence. Therefore, it
will be impossible for elections to be held
that will give satisfaction to all.”

Murphy, N. C., Sept. 29.—Nineteen miles
southeast of Murphy, N. C., and about
four miles a little northeast from Ivy
Log, in Union county, Georgia, in the
midst of as wild and as roadlcß* a country
as sunshine over reaches in the Empire
Slate of the south, is the estate and the
cabin of Nelson Hanks. Much of the
estate stands upon its southwest edge In
a semi-perpendicular position, and some
thing like 100 yards in the rear of the
cabin, Is a rock known locally as Hanks'
boulder, which towers 230 feet above the
surface und has a circumference of more
than a mile. In the neighborhood are
other bouldsre that are i arceiy Inferior
to this, and hills like sugar loaves and
somo gigantic fodder stacks, and at the
foot of Hanks' rock Is a magnetic spring
w hich throws out a blue light when dark
ness overshadows the rocks and hills,
and sends Its Illumination a third of a
mile Into the wilderness. The water
from this fountain Is pure, cool and palat

and Insipid.

which are two large rooms, and in the

consists of Mr. and Mrs. Hanks, tw r o stal
wart sons and a daughter. Miss Susan
is a comely girl with a common school
education, muscles of steel and magnetic
power sufficient to remove more than or
dinary obstacles from her path. To ob
tain evidence of this gift direct from its
medium, an Enquirer reporter was di
rected to interview her, and we present
herewith the substance of the investiga
tion:
We arrived at Hanks’ at 2 p. m. last
Wednesday and found the family at
home with the exception of one son, who
was out with a hunting party from Mur
phy. There was no objection to showing
what the girl could do, but the old folks
said the power was stronger at some
times than others, and they never could
tell when to look for the strongest test.
Miss Susan must have half an hour to
get ready, and an item of this prepara
tion, as we afterwards learned, was a
bath in water from the magnetic spring.
The half hour had almost passed, very
agreeable to us in conversation with Mr.
Nelson Hanks, Jr., when we were con
scious of a slight trembling in the room
and a strange rattling of the windows.
“Ho, ma! she wants you," said the
young man, addressing his mother.
The old lady hurried away, and we
asked Nelson if the trembling in the room
had any connection with the call from
his sister.
“That was the call Itself,” he answered.
‘‘Hut how did you know it was for your
mother?”
“Words couldn’t have made It plainer.
She has a special call for every one In
the family’.”
“That is, when they are in the house?”
we ventured.
“When they are anywhere within 10
miles, and probably more,” said Nelson.
‘‘l can guess what she wants of mother.
It’s to ask w’hether she’ll let brother Joe
know there’s company here. Joe’d rather
see a newspaper man than the Presi
dent.”
“Then he's a gentleman of taste and
discrimination. But she cannot tell him
there is a newspaper man near here by
any magnetic disturbance she can send
out?” w'e ventured.
‘‘Not definitely, but she has tho power
to convey to him that It is a person of
importance, and that is what she has
done,” exclaimed Nelson as a sound like
heavy reverberations came back to us
from the hills.
We heard only the rebounds. In two
or three minutes they were repeated from
another direction, like a succession of
heavy blows upon something large, hol
low and resonant.
‘‘Why don’t we hear it go out?”
“That’s one of the questions that no
body can answer,” said the young man.
“It’s as much of a puzzle to Sue as to
the rest of us, and this is true of nearly
everything she does. Many things she
would rather not do, but the choice is not
left to her.”
Miss Hanks is In her 19th year, of medi
um bight, with irregular but pleasing
features, compact form, and, upon her
own testimony, weighs IHB pounds. She
returned to the room where we awaited
her, clothed in a very narrow skirt, be
neath which was apparent more than a
slight suspicion of Turkish trousers, a
blouse waist, a tight-fitting skull cap,
slippers, across the bottoms of which
were several narrow strips of thin sheet
steel, and she was zoned with a girdle in
which steel was a factor. She brought, a
box containing various paraphernalia
needed in the test about to be made, and
first unfolded a sheet of white blank pa
per about the size of a single sheet of the
Enquirer, upon which she carelessly
threw a lot of needles. The sheet was
then held level, about a foot above the
table, und Miss Susan made a number of
passes beneath it with her hands.
In loss than a minute those needles were
in commotion, like school boys In a frolic,
like drunken acrobats stumbling over
each other, like fairies In a panic, and
they chased around that sheet in more ec
centric ways than words can describe.
When she withdrew one hand the action
was more subdued, and soon she placed
a finger upon the table and traced there,
slowly, a variety of characters, among
which were the figure 8. the letter M
and the word No, and the needles as
sumed these forms on the sheet as per
fectly as they could have been placed by
the most careful manipulation. Finally,
some peculiar passes with both hands
formed them into a little bunch and they
were rolled off the sheet.
Their places were tilled by 50 Llliputlan
puppets, laid upon their backs, and our
attention was called to little bits of steel,
no larger than mustard seed, upon their
feet. One pass of Miss Susan’s hand be
neath the sheet brought them all up
standing, and then began as fantastic a
series of marchings and counter-march
ings as over puppets indulged In. For
ward and back, In compact and open or
der, by twos, by fours and In platoons, in
solid squares and In circles, and once
they were manipulated ns the "awkward
squad,” tripping each other and tum
bling about in the most promiscuous way,
only to be straightened out and Set sys
tematically a-going again by a few deft
passes. The hands were withdrawn, and
over went all the little soldiers on their
backs. Then upon ono corner of the
street was introduced the image of a very
small mouse, and In a flash the puppets
were on their feet and scampering away
to a place of refuge in the box where
they were kept.
"That is Sue's pet Joke,” said the fa
ther. She'd sooner meet a bear or a pan
ther. than a mouse, and so thinks one
ought to stampede a company of soldiers.
But this little play with the needles and
the Images is just to see If the power
is all right, and now we'll likely have
something else."
The girl made many passes over the ta
ble at which she hod Just bean at work,
then placed one finger against It ami
walked slowly across the room. The ta
ble moved after her, turned when she
did and came back to Its place, having
traversed a distance of 21 feet without
apparent means of propulsion. Her
brother stood with his back to the wall,
when she seized one of his hands with
one of hers and pulled him across the
room as If he were a mere child. Bhe
tried the same scheme on us, and we
braced and tugged back with all the
strength our 161 pounds would yield,* but
it was like struggling against the will of
an elephant. We went across that floor
as glibly as a cyclone would carry a fea
ther, and seemingly with as much power
as Is generated by tho largest electric
motor. The Impression left on tho per
son thus operated upon 1* that of Irre
sistible strength.
Three chairs were placed in line and a
hoard was laid across the tops of their
backs. Upon this Miss Susun reclined.
At their request we Joined with the others
In vigorous passes over the girl for 15 or
29 seconds, whereupon the middle chair
and the board wero removed, leaving her
suspended by head and toes between two
chairs. Then more passes were made,

These germs, which eat.se nearly all diseases.
Increase with lightning rapidity, and are taken

For hundtods of years physicians have tried
to learn the best means of driving away the
germs of disease, but it has become generally
settled now that where a pure medicinal
whiskey is used regularly there is little chance
for any germ to live. Germs mny get into the
body; they may come in the air we breathe and
tho water we drink, but thev cannot live and
thrive and produce disease if they are killed oil
constantly and promptly by the use of pure
whiskey. It should he remembered In this con

and the chair sustaining her head was
carefully removed. It did not disturb
her position, but she tvas rigid and ap
rently unconscious, resting upon nothing
but the slight support the chair may have
given to the tips of her toes. More passes
were thought advisable, after which the
remaining chair was taken away and she
floated in midair. It wilts a weird specta
cle on that pleasant afternoon—a human
body, through whose veins the life-cur
rent was flowing, and whose pulse-beat
was as strong and regular as that of any
one present, robbed of ponderosity and ev
ery semblance of life, stilled In a minute
by’ a mysterious power which none of us
understood, but were willing to use for
the amusement of the hour and the won
der of scientists. She remained Immov
able while we counted 16, then floated
sidewise and downward till she reached
the floor and the wall, twelve feet away,
at the same Instant. Revived by a dash
of water In the race and a few passes
by her brother, she announced herself in
good condition for the most difficult test
she ever endured, and preparations were
Immediately made for it.
Brother Nelßon war now placed upon
the board which the chairs sustained and
all united In a grand effort to render him
unconscious by passes and great sweep
ing motions of the hands and arms. Lev
itation was not sought or desired, but
that condition which would make him
rigid from crown to soul. It required 10
minutes of hard work. When Miss Susan
said “stop” she immediately put both
hands under Nelson's back and with arms
extended raised him aloft above her head
and held him there in evident ease for at
least three minutes. Then she placed him
gently upon the board again and invited
us to lift him in any way we thought tit.
We were foolish enough to try, but at
arm's length, ns the girl bad done It,
we could not raise hint clear of the board.
Then somebody said, in a voice that
sounded ridiculously like ours;
"Of course, the conditions are changed
since he was put down.”
For reply the girl raised him aloft pre
cisely ub in the first instance, held him
a few moments with both hands, then
withdrew one and held him balanced
upon the other at least a minute, when
he began to grow limp, and she replaced
him gently upon the board, dashed water
In ids fare, {ttt hands beffckly to
gether several times, and he Was himself
again.
"Was It all right?” he asked.
“Never better," said Susan. "Did you
not think so?t’ she asked, turning to us.
"Yes, indeed; excep that we tried to
do and did not," was our confused an
swer.
“Oh, you'd have done It easily If
you'd the power,” she answered modest
ly- , . „f. e -,
What couldn’t we do if we had the
power? Poor humanity could make it
self very solid If it could always work
out its own sweet will.
She proposed other feats of strength,
but the family protested against any
more exertion In that direction. The
mother proposed what she called the
"crockery smash," and offered a good
bowl for the sacrifice. This pleased Su
san and the bowl was placed upon a ta
ble at one end of the room, close against
the wall, while the girl stood at tho other
end about twenty feet from It. She
walked back and forth across the Inter
vening space several times, laying her
hand gently upon the bowl whenever
within reach of It, and at length took
her station again at the opposite end.
What a look she gave that object of her
concern! We thought of the basilisk
gaze, the gorgon stare, and many wicked
similes when her eyes were Anally Used
upon It for "keeps," They were green
with what appeared to be concentrated
hatred. Having no conception of what
was to follow, we could, not suppress an
ejaculation of surprise when her hand
shot out toward the bowl and It began
whirling sidewise as If to roll off one end
of the table. Nelson caught and replaced
It in the firs* position, and then, having
again laid her hand upon It and fixed It
with her gaze, that lightning flash of the
dexter flipper was duplicated an.l the
bowl went to smash as by the blow of a
sledge hammer. We tried to count the
pieces, but half the shattered material
appeared os dus,t and there were hun
dreds of grains no larger than pinheads!
It was destruction, but whence?
Joe returned in tnft evening, leaving
the hunting party In the hills, and said
he received and understood his sister's
message Just as she Intended It. Would
she let us have an Independent test of
her power In the same direction? we
asked. Yes, if possible. We wrote a
message for her to send Joe In the hills,
where it was arranged we were to accom
pany him to the distance of a mile for the
purpose of this test, and handed it to
Susan sealed, Just as we started out next
morning. It read;
“I have stolen your electric mouse.”
We had It safe in a vest pocket.
The mile seemed a long one, hut we at
last sat down upon a rock sheltered by
large trees, and Joe ffre.l a charge from
his gun. Its echoes rolled around among
those rocks like the reverberations from
a score of reports, and directly, Just over
our heads, there came a little explosion,
followed by a hundred electrical snap
plngs close by, at various Intervals, and
ending by three or four little squeaks so
natural that one could Imagine they eamo
from a veritable mouse.
Joe sat silently for a little time, appar
ently perplexed, and then he laughed
heartily and said:
"Well, that isn't as bad as horse steal
ing, and your confession will mitigate
the penalty. I reckon Sue will let you
keep the mouse as a souvenir.”
A perfect test, surely; but what In the
name of truth and Justice trill tho acl
entlsts say? To what extent is the region
where they ooeur really aeountable for
these phenomena? Dr. Lowndes aays
that the faculty of second sight possessed
by the Highlanders of Bcotland may tc
safely attributed to certain electrical In
fluence* which abound In those hilly re
gions. Will the necromancy of the Geor
gia mountains ever be traced back to tho
same cause?
