BAY STATE DEMOCRACY.
Standard Selected and Stron
Platform Adopted.

Platform Adopted.
WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 1S.-Chair-
man Z. A. Collins called the Democratic
state convention to order this morning.
John E. Russell was elected permanent
chairman without any opposition. The
following ticket was nominated: For
governor, William E. Russell, of Cam
bridge; lieut-governor, John Corcoran, of
Clinton; secretary of state, Elmridge
Cushman, of Lake Village; treasurer,
William D. Treacy, of Marblehead aud
itor, +. L. Mann, OF Holyoke; attorney
general, Elisha r. Maynard, of Sprin G
field.
The platform reviews (and with more
emphasis in view of its approaching pas
sage) the Republican tariff bill demands
free raw materials, particularly wool, coal
and iron ore, and lower duties on the
necessities of life, and says: 'We en-
phasize the Importance OF reciprocal
trade with Canada. as means of pro-
noting the commercial and industrial
welfare of this commonwealth"
The Mckinley bill is denounced as
the most iniquitous piece OF legislation
ever attempted in this country.
The platform continues: "We observe
with interest the recent attempt
of the secretary of state to secure an
amendment of the Mckinley bill by in
cooperating in it some provision looking
toward more intimate commercial rela-
tions with the sixteen republics of North,
Central and South America, which the
Democratic committee demanded in
1888, and we regret the fail
ure of this attempt. We condemn
the willingness of the Republican
senators and representatives to secure
proper regard for New England interests
in framing the tariff bill, and for their
avowed readiness to sacrifice its prosper
ity to the exigencies of party politics.

The State Bureau of Labor statistics has
collected exhaustive statistics showing that
not only are the working men of the United
States much better off from financial
standpoint. but socially as well. 1t is
shown that the laboring classes, on the
average, are much more prosperous In
America than in Europe. The table OF
comparative statistics is prepared from re-
ports rendered by foreign-born working
men. so that the method of arriving at the
difference between wages in this country
and Europe is very accurate. A large pro-
portion OF the foreign-born workingmen
interrogated have since coming to Wiscon-
sin earned and own their own homes. a
thing well-nigh impossible under Old World
conditions. The inquiry was made among
workmen in the building trades, the pur-
pose being to show the monthly wages re-
ceived in Europe. as compared with Wis
consin, for twenty-six days work; their
possible earnings in their native countries.

of what the government might ultimately
do to them for killing Custer grew hourly
upon them. After his operations against
Sitting Bull in October and December,
Miles found time to give attention to Crazy
Horse. Lulled into security with the belief
that Miles was fully engaged with Sitting
Bull and fearing Crook fully as much As
they did Miles, the Cheyennes had come
hack onto Hanging Woman or Suicide
creek, as 1t was called, and had made their
camp for the. winter. Miles at once sent
out his scouts and spies and located them.
There were Cheyennes in Miles camp and
1t was impossible for Crazy Horse to pro-
tect himself and keep them out OF his
village. He did not know who TO
trust. Miles, too, was cunning in
bis selection OF a spy and sent poor old

harmless and ignorant. But she bad

and revenge to her was sweet. She found
Lame beers camp of fifty lodges and on
the 9TH of May led Miles to the village.
Miles had already known of Crazy Horses
position on the Tongue river and had
fought three skirmishes with him on the
Ist, Sd and 7th of January. On the Sth OF
January big battle had been fought, last
ing eight hours, and although Crazy Horse
had been worsted and driven from his POSI-
ton, such was the condition OF the troops
Indians. The skill and bravery displayed
by the great Indian chief was prodi gious
and excited the admiration of even the prl-
rate soldiers in the ranks. But Crazy Horse
was becoming discouraged and his warriors
falling around him with no one to take
their places. Fresh white troops continu-
ally crowded to the front and the white
soldiers each day seemed to become more
adventurous. Crazy Horse retreated and,
as before stated, Miles went after Lame
Deer. He was hid away under the hills
near the mouth of the Rosebud. Miles,
with my old battalion of the Second cav
airy and some companies OF his own regi-
ment, Fifth infantry, mounted on ponies,
had him completely surrounded before he
was aware of the presence of the dreaded
white soldier. The herd and village
was soon taken and such Indians as
could get away ran into the hills.
1t was at this battle two In.
dian warriors completely armed were
captured and brought before Miles. One of
them, seeing his opportunity and thinking
to rid the world of the terrible white man,
when not dozen yards from Miles, quietly
slipped cartridge into his gun, and AIM
ing at Miles, fired. Miles was sitting on
his horse at the time with an orderly be-
hind him. The ball passed harmlessly by
the head of Miles, and hitting the orderly
in the breast killed him instantly. "Tonka
wemo,""a spirit man." exclaimed the In
dian, ehrowing his gun on the ground and
awaiting his fate calmly, with arms folded
across his breast. Before Miles could in
terfere dozen revolvers were emptied into
the savage, and he fell pierced with twenty
balls. The Cheyennes to this day believe
General tliles cannot be killed by bullet.

John L. sullivan and Nike Donovan this
morning, before the siogger left, buried an
enmity OF years standing on the old battle
held where Sullivan and kilrain met last
year.
In the presence of hushed and stricken
group OF admirers these great men soemniy
shook hands across the field of battle.
Then Mr.. Sullivan, STOPPING slowly down,
with quick and neat upper cut. plucked a
rose from its stem. Mr.. Donovan, with his
eyes aiertiy fixed on Mr.. Sullivan, and
keeping wary outlook for Mr.. Sullivan s
left, lowered himself carefully earthward
by bending his knees in the manner of an
expert baseball catcher, made quick front
and recovered like flash with a rose deity
nipped and held fast in his fingers.
Mr.. Sullivan slowly stretched forth his
hand-the one containing the rose. Mr..
Donovan slowly countered with his rose
hand. The two rose hands met; there was
moment of quick sparring, followed by a
clinch. When the hands were separated
Mr.. Sullivan's rose was in Mr.. Donovan's
hand and MIR. Donovan's rose was IN MIR.

Then the two hands met again and
clinched, and while they remained clinched
Mr.. Sullivan uttered these magnanimous
words:

To which Mr.. Donovan, slowly and with
the grave solemnity OF conviction, replied:

Yours respectfully, John L. Sullivan,
replied the great man, in full, clear voice.
There was not dry eye in the group of

most memorable scenes in history was
enacted on a spot soaked with both Mr..
Kilrain's and MIR. Sulliyan's claret, which
said claret has now literally blossomed in

THE EARTH is DRYING UP.
Curious Shrinkage of the Lakes, Sea
and Rivers OF the World.

ST. Louis Republic.
To the inund ated residents of the states
of the lower Mississippi it will, no doubt,
seem like rankest folly to attempt to prove
that our water supply is becoming less and
less year by year. There Is, however, evil
dence that the amount of water on the sur
face of the earth has been steadily dimin-
ishipg for many thousands of years. No
one doubts that there was time when the
Caspian sea communicated with the Black
sea- and when the Mediterranean covered
the greater part of the Desert of Sahara. In
fact, biologists tell US that at one time the
whole earth's surface was covered by water
many fathoms in depth.
All rivers and small streams are visibly
smaller than they were twenty-five years
ago. Country brooks in which men now
living were accustomed to fish and battle
in their oyhood, have in many cases to-
tally disappeared in consequence of the
failure of springs and rains which once fed
them. The level of the great lakes are
falling year by year. There are many piers
on the shores OF lakes SIDE cities which ves-
sc once approached With ease, but which
now just reach the waters eye. Harbor
surveyors will tell you that harbors are
shallower than they were even decade
ago. This is not due to the gradual de-
post of earth brought down by rivers. as
city sewers. The harbor OF Toronto has
almost ceased to be of use, despite the fact
that it has been dredged out to permanent
bottom rock.
All the dredging that can be done in New
York harbor has failed to permanently
deepen it. The growing shallowness of the
Hudson river is noticeable, and, like the
outlet to Lake Champlain, which was once
navigated by Indian canoes at all seasons,
the upper Hudson is now almost bare of
water during the summer The Des Moines
river, in Iowa, once navigated to the
mouth of Raccoon fork, the present site of
the city of Des Moines, will now hardly
float fisherman's rowhoat; the steamboat
has not plowed its bosom for over a quar-
ter of century. In all parts of the world
there is the same decrease in the waters of
rivers and lakes.
II this state of affairs continues until the
year 100000 A. D., the water question
will be OF more interest than that of prohi-
bition.

Does the Sovereignty of Michigan Ex-

WASHINGTON CRY. June 20.-Some ques-
tons are under consideration by the de-
partment of the interior here which are OF
Importance to Washington. to the extent
that they involve title to swamp lands in
that state. Representative Wilson had
conference on Saturday with the secretary
of the interior, Assistant Secretary Chand-
Ter and General Shields, the attorney for
the department The most that can be
said as to the result of the conference is
that il was the sentiment of the officials
that the history and laws on the subject OF
swamp land grants, and those in Washing
ton in particular. must be carefully looked
up before a ruling is made. At present
there seems to be no law to govern legisla-
ton which shall settle definitely how
swamp lands may be acquired, unless the
secretary, after examination. holds that the
sovereignty of the state extends over these
lands
