THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

The Democratic party Of Virginia,
III convention assembled, proud of its
past achievements, both III State and
National affairs, pledges the same
stcadfast fidelity to the best inter
cSts OF the people in the future, and
declares to the people of Virginia:
First. Wo congratulate the people
of Virginia that through the wise
Legislation and administration of the
Democratic party the public schools
have been preserved in efficient ope
ration, and their accommodations OK
tended; that the resources necessary
for the conduct of the government in
all of its departments has been Sc
cured, and the debt question has
been put in train OF final and accept
able settlement.
We would rcprobatc ms mischiev.
Gus to nj interests the reopcnipg of
an issue which has been the source
OF 20 much embarrassment and veya
ton to the Commonwealth; and with
the continuance of the party admin
istrntion which has dealt with it ably
and wisely, we confidently look TO its
speedy solution npon the linas of al.
justment Which the people have en-.
dorsed, and which their Democratic
representatives have faithfully exc.
cuted.
Second. The Democratic party
founded the public school system of
this Commonwealth. The present
efficiency of the system is the result
OF Democratic l.ws and Democratic
effort. We will care for and sup
port the public schools until every
child shall be able to secure tic ben.
Gifts Of education. TO this end we
favor liberal appropriations by the
Federal government, apportioncd
among the States in the ratio of tho
illiteracy of their population.
Third. The Democratic party re.
CARDS the encouragement and foster
ing OF agriculture MS all important to
the prosperity of Virginia, and that
securing valuable cmigrants is neces

by all proper legislation advance, fos-
Ter and secure the agricultural inter

From Jest to Earnest.

1t is often but step from the jest to
the truth. Many years ago three
young English officers stationed at
Madras Went down to the beach one
evening to refresh themselves by bath
ing in the sea. The sharks were album
dant and hungry, but the young men
were Indifferent to the danger, for they
did not believe that these sea wolves
would venture so near to the shore.
They stripped and began frolicking
on.the beach and digging holes in the
sand.
Lets dig grave for B. and bury
him" said one.
mo you won't!" he shouted, and
dashed into the sea. A frightful
scream told them that O shark had
siezed him. His two companions,
splashing in to his rescue, got hold of
him and the fish let go. Before they
could drag him out the shark returned
to his prey, fastened upon him, and
quickly got him under water.
The two comrades held on and pulled
him to the beach. They succeeded in
rescuing him, but he was so torn and
mangled that he bled to death on the
sands

A Smart Young Woman.

To-day, says recent Madison special,
the first lady who ever argued case
before the supreme court of Wisconsin
made an argument in the person of
Miss Kate L. Pier, of Milwaukee, a
beautiful young brunette with magnifi-
cent raven hair, which hung in q pro-
digious braid to within foot of the
floor. Her opponent was John j.
Sutton, of Columbus. one Of the biggest
and grutfest lawyers in the state, but
who on this occasion wore asingularly
suhdued mien. The case argued in
wolves several hundred dollars, and a
decision in it was reserved. Miss Pier
graduated from the law department OF
Wisconsin university year ago. Both
her mother and father are lawyers, and
the trio practice together in Milwau-
kee. Another girl in the family is
now studying for the bar.

UNCERTAINTY IN TIE JURY BOX.
Unreliability and lack of thought on
the part of jurymen is not confined to
the NIaybrick case. At session of the
San Antonio District Court some years
ago, a Mexican was on trial on the
charge of stealing pistol. He proved
conclusively that the pistol produced
in court as the one stolen, was his own;
that he had bought it, and that it had
been in his possession long before the
alleged theft took place. The case
went to the jury at IL o'clock, the time
for adjournment of court, and the jury
men, not wishing to be kept till court
opened again, at 8 o'clock, hurried to
give their verdict. The foreman, turn
ing to the rest without leaving the
"box," said, "Well, boys, what do you
say? Let us give him two years at
Huntsville" Another answered, Gail
right, put him through, OF the Judge
will adjourn" Another said, $50
ahead, hurry up, OF we will have to
stay here till o'clock Just at this
iuncture, quiet old gentleman on the
Jury suggested, Gut is he guilty?"
The foreman responded, Guilty? we'll
d-n the odds, we want our dinner, and
if he amt guilty, why clear him" SO
the verdict was Immediately handed
"not guilty."

Perhaps"
----------------=------
UO,t,cM ere Not Johers.

A writer in the Washington Post has
discovered that women as a rule are not
fond of jokes; they listen to clever
stories with simulated amusement and
forget them Immediately. The reason
for this lies in one of the essentials in
he makeup of women-her profound
Ind tender sympathy. Humor deals
with the weakness of humanity; it ex-
poses foibles and punctures tender skin.
Humor sets the world laughing at some
Llunder OF a man. It is woman nature
10 cover up, excuse and reform. Follies
Bre to serious in her eyes to laugh at.
Ii women We're humorists they would
bot be the most earnest church workers.
The most tender of nurses, and the most
sentimental and refined portion of hui
nanity. The same inherent quality
which would make q true woman, real
woman, shrink as Judge from pronoun-
ring death sentence, OF soldier from
fhooting an enemy through the heart,
makes it impossible for her to become a
amorist. Wit woman may have, wit
Ihe does possess, and is formidable
bdversary with her stiletto points OF
IRONY and satire. But humorous in the
Emmon acceptation of the term, in the
Fareless, rollicking, singing art Of cur.
Fent quips and iests-never.
