GETTING READY FOR 1893. leeting of the Democratic Cungressiona| Campaign Committee. MR. KERR PROPOSES A “PLAX FOR REORGAMIEA- TION OF THAT COMMITTEE AND FOR 4 BURRAT OF INFORMATION To SUPPLY PRE DEMOCEATIC DOCTRINE TO THEIR PARTY NEWSPAPERS. The first mecting of the democratic congres- sioral exmpaign committee sinee the election was hold at the residence of Chairman Flower last night. The object of the meeting was to map out a plan of campaign for the battle of 1892. The meeting was largely attended and more than ordinary interest was taken by the members present. At the requost of Chairman Flower, Congress- man James Kerr, chairman of the democratic state committee of Pennsylvania, who con- ducted a suecessful campaign in that state last fall, was present. Chairman Kerr is recognized as one of the rising politicians in his party, and his views dn matters of interest to the democ- racy are looked upon by older heads as worth considering. ‘MR. KEBB'S PLAN FOR REORGANIZATION OF THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. He was, therefore, requested to explain a plan he kas formed for the reorganization of the congrewional campaign committee. It met with general favor among the members present and is indorsed by the democratic leaders gen- erally. The plan suggested by Mr. Kerr in the main contemplates the selection by the demo- cratic state central committees of every state in the Union of one person well known for bis democracy, eapabilit and his general knowledge of the details of the practical or- ganization in his own # The man selected need not necessarily be a member of Congress. In fa mber of Congress is to be rather \t tion. The idea is to secure a con- committee that will be in every sense ation and yet not in- dividually interested in their own re-election, as ie the case with the present committoc. One jof the weak spots of the present campaign committee is that in every election the mem- | bers are compelled to neglect the general wel- fare of the purty to save themeelves. Under Mr. Kerr's plan all this would be obviated. A PROPOSED BUNEAU OF INFORMATION. In addition to the full campaign committee Mr. Kerr suggested that an executive commit- tee of five be appointed for the purpose of establishing a bureau of inform: ‘ion, which will be a permanent feature of the committee. Among other things this bureau, which will have headquarters in Washington, will supply the many thousands of Democratic newspapers |in the country with information as to the | policy, methods and doctrines of the party as indicated by their representatives in Congress. This work, Mr. Karr stated, should be begun as soon as possible. The object is to prepare the | minds of the people and have them thoroughly understand the doctrines of the democratic party and its leaders and keep the people fed on all the leading questions of the day. y this means the people will receive a cer- tain amount of political literature weekly, in- stead of having exhaustive and tiresome speeches piled into them during the heat of a campaign, when a large majority of them have |no time to read up on the vital questions at | isene. iis: Under the present system of distributing campaign documents 9 ercentage of hem are wasted and the work of the commit- tee goes for nothing. In other words, Mr. Kerr's plan is to reach the voters through their home newspapers when they have time to con- sider the questions in which they are inter- | ested. Another meeting of the committee will be held next week, at which the plan of camy | proposed by Mr. Kerr Inst night will no e adopted. joubt Bre ae Enforce the Contagious Diseases Act! ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Judging by an item in yesterday's Stax, and by the history of similar efforta in other cities, the health department may meet with consid- erable opposition in attempting to enforce the ions of the new contagious diseases act. law should be enforced from the* start strictly and impartially.

Representative Turner, when asked about the published letter purporting to have been fwritten by him“ offering to give #5,000 to Mr. McGarth in the event of his (Turner's) election to succeed Senator Ingalls said: “Tho letter re- ferred to is “a forgery puro and simple, Tam inclined to think written from here by a dirap- pointed office seeker. who planned to throw the letter into the camp of the enemy, knowing that it wonld be publixhed. He had’ access to my office in my abyence as well as when present, where he did his writing. 1 hope to beable to truce it down.” MEDALS FROM THE KING OF SWEDEN. The House committee on foreign affairs has authorized a favorable report on the bil troduced in the House by Mr. Hitt of Iinois, authorizing the State Department to deliver to the ofiicers and crew of the United States steamer Baltimore certain medals from the King of Sweden and Norway, designed as presents for the purpose of commemorating the services rendered by them to Sweden in carry- ing back to his native country the remains of Captain John Ericsson. SURLETTING OF MATL CONTRACTS. The Speaker laid before the House yesterday a letter from the Postmaster General replying to the House resolution in referenee to alleged inemi tributed to the subletting of mail contracts. The Postmaster General says the subletting of contracts is authorized by an act of Congress. isabili ifying the law so as to subletting, he says, has received con- siderable attention from Gangress, and two methods have been recommended by those ad- vocating changes: First, to prohibit subletting altogether, and second, requiring the approval of bidders’ sureties by postmasters at post of- fices upon or contiguous to the routes to which the proposals relate. He says the department prefers. continuing, for a time at least, to test its ability to advance the star branch of the mail service by a most rigid enforcement of ex- isting regulations rather than by the renewal of a recommendation for the enactment of new statutes. NOMINATIONS AND COXFIRMATIONS. The President late yesterday afternoon sent to the Senate the nomination ,of Samuel C. Mills to be justice of the peace for the District of Columbia; also a large number of postmas- ters, including the following in Virginia: Thompson 8, Brown, Waynesborough. is) The Senate eeareyy confirmed the following nomination: Mattie DB.

The House committee on elections will en- deavor next Tuesday to dispose of the con- tested election case of Eaton against Phelan from Tennessee. There may be some difti- culty in securing a quorum of the committee. Before the holidays the democratic members of the committee prevented action on the case by absenting themselves, leaving the commit- tee without a quorum.’ Four contested clec- tion cases are now on the House calendar awaiting the action of the House. Two of them have been decided by the committee in favor of the ‘republican contestants and the other two in favor of the democratic contesteea. eaters on reamatas tite PAP FOR THE BABY. All That is Needed Now for That Infant In- dostry, the World’s Fair. Ex-Senator Palmer and Maj. Handy, with the weight of the world’s fair on their shoulders, called oa the President this morning for the enforcing the state Iaw requiring quarantine nd disinfection in cases of small por, diph- theria and scarlet fever result the law | has been strictly enforced in a great many lo- calities, but by no means in all. " While this has been going on records have been accumulating, | which now show (I quote from memory) that | in outbreaks of diphtheria where no sanitary | precautions were taken the average number of | cases was thirteen, while in outbreaks where | there was strict quarantine with subsequent | careful disinfection the average number of cases was only three. Very often efficient health officers have succeeded in limiting an outbreak to the first case. The importance of this is more apparent when we reflect that in diphtheria, taking one year with another, the ratio of deaths to cases is about as one to five. What has been done in Michigan ean be done in Washington, and it is the duty of every good citizen to aid the health department in enfore- ing the law, and if more officers are necessary it is the duty of somebody to see that they are provided. A common error and one which seems to find expression in the item mentioned is that mild cases of diphtheria are not dangerous. The fact ix mild cases sometimes give rise to very waliguant oues and there is no telling before- hand. The only safe way ia to rigidly quaran- time and thoroughly disinfect in every case, giving the public the benetit of the doubt when there is any. Quarantine and disinfec- tion are personal inconveniences. Noone un- derstands this better than the writer. Yet in all such cases the public good not only amply justifies, but absolutely requires the limitation ‘of individual preference. Bioma. ———— Reading the Notices of His Death. The clerks of the sixth auditor's office ex- perienced a genuine sensation today. Many of them had read in the morning papers an ac- count of the sudden death yesterday while at his desk of Capt. Edward Winne, a fellow clerk. Capt. Winne was known to the great majority, and his popularity, as well as the alleged cir- cumstances surrounding his death, gave rise to a general feeling of madness. They had seen him in apparently good health yesterday and now to learn that he was dead was a shock that was extremely painful. Their surprise was | only equaled by their joy waen upon arrival at the office this morning they found Capt. | Winne at his desk as much alive asever. There was a scene of great rejoicing. Capt. Wine had no expianation to make, except to say that | he-was not dead. Capt. Winne read with a good deal of interest the biogra sketch which followed the announcement of his death im the published statement. He said that every word of the publication was true except the trifling fact that he had not died. Capt. Winne is well known in this city, having been in the employ of W.H. Houghton & Co. and Julius ‘Lansburgh. StS Bs A A Novel Window Display. Woodward & Lothrop’s immense windows present during the year many effective die- plays of merchandise.

Gen.

A YOUNG LADY “TAKES” SENATOR PALMER AND MAJOR HANDY. ‘This fact was regretted by Senator Palmer, as he and the major descended the stairway and ran almost into the armsof a very pretty young lady who is taking photographs of the Exe- cutive Mansion for one of the magazines. She showed her enterprise by inducing the two gentlemen to stand still 4 moment while she exposed them ‘before a plate—no, ox; a plate before them. The Senator remarked that “Davis’ exaggerated physiognomy would have made a valuable addition to the group.” He said to a Srau reporter: “We are not going to have any more meetings of the com- mission until April. ‘There is nothing for us to do, ‘The child bas’ been born, and ell that re- mains is to get a large spoon and feed it some Pap.” —--— +2 A Shoe Store Burned.

Mr, Nicholson Fined for Keeping an Un- Meensed Bar. Wm. F. Nicholson is proprietor of combi- nation cigar store and drinking saloon at No. 314 11th street, and according to the testimony im the Police Court today he sells “ whisky.” There isa revenue license for the cigar store, which is on the first floor, but the saloon upstairs is not licensed. Among the witnesses called by Policeman Sutton to prove acharge of unlicensed bar was a countryman named Burr from Sterling, Va., who told of a visit to the place with a Mr. Crane. “I had the stomach ache,” he said, “and wanted some whisky. Mr. Cranc took me to this place and the drinks came down from the second floor on a dumb waiter.” ‘hat did you get to drink?” “Some whisky and blackberry,” he re- ‘sponded. Witness, continuing, said he would not go there again to get drinks because he was charged 30 cents for the three drinks. “What did you expect to pay for them?” “Well, T can get three drinks for 25 cents.” “Did the drink relieve your pain?" asked Mr. Williams. “can’t tell whether it did or not now.” “Your pocket relieved, but not your stomach?" “Yes, of thirty cents.” “The court imposed a fine of $105 and Mr. Williams said he would note an appeal. ee Aetadic Both Fighters Were Fined. William E. Brooks, alias Whitey Brooke, « negro who has been before the Police Court many times, said to Judge Miller today that he started ont last evening for a good time and during the evening he got on ‘‘cross questions” with a companion named Lorenzo Willis. Brooks’ face was cut in several places and he could not tell how Willis cut “Oh, no,” remarked the court; ‘guess again and see if you can’t tell a better story.” “That's the right one,” said, Willis, “and I can't make it better.” Policeman Sullivan told of the trouble be- tween the men.
