What the Ex-President Would Do to Strengthen the Dem- i ocratic Party, HIS OPINION GIVEN IN EXTENSO Keynote ofWhat II Says: The Party Must Go Back; to First Principle 8. Philadelphia, Lee.

20. Grover Cleveland contributes to this weeks Issue of The Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia, an extended article which is copyrighted on the situation in jthe Democracy and the remedy. Cleveland begins by reviewing the history of the party, and he discusses its defeats since 18G4 in detail. In taking up the question of the present conditions of the Democracy he says that the success of the party In 1892 was so decisive and overwhelming that a long continuance of its supremacy was anticipated. Then came the fallacy of free silver and Populism.

Cleveland then proceeds as follows: The culmination of Demo-cratic woe was reached when its compact with these un-Democratic forces was complete, and when our rank and file were summoned to do battle under banners which bore strange symbols and were held aloft in unfamiliar hands. The result of such a betrayal was foredoomed. Cite, Three Defeats. The disaster of 1SV2, invited by similar mad adventure, was quickly followed by a return to tJhe professions and practices of sane Democracy. But the extent and persistency of our wanr derings in 1896 is illustrated in a most iestounding way by the command, is-sued on the day of our rout and dis-; comfiture, that a second battle should be fought on the field, with the same alse war cries and the same leadership, that had brought us to the surrounding gloom of defeat.

Thus In 1900 the lesson of the 1890 was contemptuously rejected, and every hope of success was wilfully cast aside. Again our long-suffering rank and file. Whose loyalty and obediende deserved better things, were sacrificed in a cause theirs only in and again it was demon-" strated, but more clearly than ever before, that the only forces that can win Democratic success are adherence i to recognized Democratic principles and reliance upon Democratic councils 1 and leadership- Plea for a Return to First Principles. Why should we not return to these and in their name again achieve victories no less glorious and renewed than were ours in the days of courageous advocacy of our time-honored faith? Are our principles so shopworn or antiquated as to require renovation, or their displacement by others more fashionable? As new conditions arise, our principles must.be applied to them; but in the creed that has guided us through 'a century of( party existence we shall find the key to every such application; nor shall we need the lexicon of Populism to aid us in interpreting this creed. Give the Rank and File a Chance.

Cleveland touches in turn on free silver and the federal courts, and believes that Democrats are against condemning general government for protecting itself in the exercise of its functions against violent obstruction -Within a state. Further on he declares i I believe no Democrat will have the hardihood to deny that we have fought our last two campaigns in alliance with un-Democratic forces and that this alliance was immensely costly In defeat. Is there not good reason to suppose that even in success such an alliance would have proved unprofitable and dangerous? Reorganization is not necessary; but a return -from our wandering is absolutely essential. if i should attempt to opitomize what I have written, by suggesting a plan for the re habilitatlon and restoring of true Democracy, I should embody it In these words: Give the rank and file a chance. CHAIRMAN JONGS TO RESIGN, Information That Comes Straight From Men Close to the Senator.

Chicago, Dec. 20. -The Record says: Senator J. K. Jones, according to reports In Democratic circles, soon will call a meeting of the Democratic national comimttee in Washington for the purpose of resigning as chairman.

THAT IS THE NEWS UP TO DATE Delay Said to Have Been Caused by a Tangle In One of Our Ciphers. Peking, Dec. 20. At a meeting of the-foreign ministers late last evening everything In regard to the terms of the joint note was agreed to, including the British modifications. The ministers refuse to disclose anything in connection with the matter, believing that the, home governments should give the particulars to the public.

One of Our Ciphers Got Away, Washington, Dec. 20. It is learned that the entire misunderstanding which has delayed the consummation of the agreement at Peking was caused by the change or omissiqn of the figures digit in a complex group of figures making up one of the cipher messages of instruction to Conger. Curiously enough the change in this single digit exactly reversed the meaning of the entire message, so that Conger, in opposing the English view, was acting contrary to the spirit of his instructions, though in accordance with their letter. We Objected to Irrevocable.

While nothing had been heard from Conger up to 9 p. m. yesterday regarding the agreement said to have been reached in Peking last evening as to the terms of the joint Chinese note, th officials confidently hope that the cables are correct and that the way is now paved for its formal presentation to the Chinese plenipotentiaries. iThe officials here are unable to feay just what the British modifications. ref erred to in the Peking dispatch are, but it is believed they rested upon the exclusion of the irrevocable clause A which this government has along insisted must not appear in the preamble, to the note.

And tbe ortl Came Out. Minister Conger had positive instruction, from this government on this subject and the preamble to the joint note, it is understood, will not contain that word. The Chinese peace envoys will be given a. reasonable time within which to consider the demands made and then Will follow the forfnal negotiations for th settlement of the peace terms. Officials here still decline to make public the text of the note agreed on, but it is believed that the essential features of the' agreement have been printed in these dispatches.
