PORTLAND. OREGON: "
Urooklyn. N. T Dec. .."What the
democratic party need. I. not a reor-
gaiilser but an undertaker," declared
-Unlted States Senator Richard F.
Pettigrew of Sioux Fall.. S. D. The
former senator, who look. Ilk. a popu
list, but Indignantly denies the charre.
I. in the city to Attend a meeting of a
company In which he I. Interested with
Dr, John A. Just of Pukaskl.
Asked for hi opinion of the effect of
the recent election on the democratic
party he cave expre.slon to the epi
gram quoted above. He continued:
"A new party must of necessity arise
out of the overwhelming defeat of the
old one. It must first of all represent
th. producing and 'laboring maim.
Th. democrat, have forfeited all claim
to public confidence by outbidding the
trust, and great combination, of capi
tal. "There . no natural leader for the
new party. The l.aue. will produce
the leader. Mr. Bryan will et about
trying to reorganize the democrat., but
he will fall. The party cannot be re
united and can win no more victories.
The new party, which la bound to
come, must move along radical line..
It mu.t fight the trust, to the lout
ditch and It must stand for government
owner.hlp of railroad, and other
monopolies. It will not necessarily be
socialistic in It. tendencies, according
to the common usage of the term, but
it should be formed along the line, of
the victorious party In New Zealand.
The burning question before the peo
ple today I. whether thl. I. to be a
government of, by and for the people,
or of, by and for the corporations."
Senator Pettigrew denied that he
represented the populist, while In the
senate. He Intimated k that he had
always been a democrat and said he at
tended the democratic national con
ventlon at St. Lout, as a delegate.
He wa. thoroughly disgusted with the
.election of Judge Parker a. the stan
dard bearer and said today that he will
take up arm. with the new party
which he I. confident will come to the
front. He believe, that thl. party will
eventually be successful In gaining
control of the country. Senator Petti
grew will leave tonight for New Tork.
A Portug.se Scandal.
.Lisbon, Dec. I. A sensational case,
with an equally sensational denoue
ment, ha. stirred Portugese court cir
cles. A well known Portugese baron
ess recently sued her husband for
separation on the ground of pro
digality. When the trial opened It was
discovered that the baroness herself
was not guiltless. Her armour, with I
a leading actor were brought to light
The baroness at once fled to Pari.,
while the actor wa. arrested. The
great wealth and beauty of the baron
ess, who Is but 25 year, of age, and the
conspicuous position of the couple In
the best society ha. caused a great
scandal.
WHERE UNCLES RULE.
PMallar Ca.tom That Prevail. la
Northers Aastrs.Ua,
Uncle, rule among the native tribe,
bordering Torre, strait, where the re
lationship between maternal ancle and
nephew Is regarded a. being cloaer
than that between father and eon.
There a man I. bound to .top fighting
wheu ordered to do so by hi. mother'.
brother, and the uncle 1. entitled to bid
hi. .later', husband cease any hostlll
tics In which he may be engaged.
Moreover, the quelled combatant 1. re
quired to make a present to the uncle
or brother-ln-law, a. the case may be,
who atop. hint.
Wheu a man marries In these part,
his father provide, the wherewithal to
purchase the bride, but It 1. the mater
nal uncle who makes the actual pay'
incut and who acquire, the credit at
tached thereto.
A man In those parts may not utter
the names of hi. wife's relations, and
when he speaks to his father or mother-in-law
he must lower his voice and
apeak humbly, the underlying Idea be
ing probably a pretense that he has
carried hi. spouse uwuy forcibly from
her home and must sue for peace.
ANCIENT STENOGRAPHY.
(horthaad Was la Vmm a. Early a.
th. Third Ocular?.
Shorthand wb. known to the an
cients, though It Is Impossible to trace
the system to Its source.
Ennlus, the Ilomau poet, Is said to
have Improved upon nh already exist
ing system. He was a friend of Sclplo
and was born U'.'ii) It. C. Seneca also
made It a hobby.
Orlpen, the Greek father and mystic,
who was born about 180 and was n
voluminous writer, says. In the course
of his commentary on St. John, "The
absence of my shorthand writers pre
vents me from dletiitltij? my medita
tions." We are told, too, that he al
lowed shorthand writers to take down
his extempore homilies.
In the venth century Greek and Ro
man stenography gradually died out.
and the art did not revive until the
beginning of the seventeenth century.
During thl. long Interval several sys
tem, of quick writing were evolved,
eucb a. that of Dr. .Timothy Bright In
1588, who had a separate sign for ev
ery word, and some of these almost
rivaled shorthand" in rapidity.
R .formed Drunkards,
New Tork, Dec, 6. -Mis. Helen
Gould, accompanied by . five Vassar
students, went to th. headquarters of
the Jery McAuley mission In Water
street last night and heard fifty re
formed drunkards testify to the bene
fit, derived from a long trip on the
water wagon. Mis. Gould delivered a
short address. In which she told the re
formed to stay so.
The occasion wa. in honor of the
thirty-second anniversary of the mis
sion, and the little meeting hou.e was
packed full when Mis. Gould arrived.
John Noble Stearns and Walter M.
Smith also addressed the gathering.
