testant Episcopal Church on account Of
Is 'roominess," says: 'tWhat we dis
claim Is, that the Episcopal Church is
PARTICLE more 'roomy' than the Baptist
Church. It is more 'roomy' outdoors
than ii is in a house, for house has
walls, and they limit its 'roominess'; but
still, for security and comfort, most men
prefer a house to living outdoors
When EpiscopalianS praise the 'roomi-
ness of their church, we like to ask if it
is building at all, If it has any walls,
and If it is asserted that it is a structure;
we ask for the proof that any church can
be more roomy than one that seeks to be
as broad and as wide and as high as the
New Testament. If ones theological
unrest leads him to deny the supreme
authority of the New Testament, lie may
find that the Baptist Church is not
'roomy' enough for him. There is
among the Episcopalians a large and
growing party to which this laudation of
the 'roomineSs of their church is ex-
ceedingly distasteful. They see that
church of Christ is not cave of Adul-
lam, and more than this, they believe
that church should not be a hotel, but
household of faith, the members of
which are held together by common
bond. on priori grounds it is more
logical to argue that considerable num-
Der OF Episcopalians will be attracted to
the Baptist Church by it real 'roominess'
than that any considerable number Of
Baptists will be won by the empty boast
OF some Episcopalians."
About as unpromising a movement
for etfecting any good, and as absurd an
undertaking as could be devised, is the
proposed Congress of Religions at Chi
cago during the approaching Worlds
Falr," according to the Presbyterian Ban
ner of Pittsburg. "That there is one
God, one mediator between God and
man, one Holy Spirit, one divine revela-
ton, one true religion-and only one-is
the conviction and proclamation of Chris
tlanlty. And the work to which it is de-
voted is the supplanting of all other be-
lefs and forms of religion. 1t is going
INTO all the world to preach the Gospel
that all nations may abandon all other
systems of religion and accept It. The
neathen have been given to Christ for
his inheritance, and the uttermost parts
OF the earth for His possession. Christi
anlty is not to conform itself even to the
civilized world around it. We can treat
visitors from heather lands, whether
priests or not, kindly and courteously;
show them the products OF our great in
dustries, explain to them our system of
education, inform them as to our marvel
Gus growth in the past, and speak to
them OF our prospects for the future with
out denounclng their systems of religion
or leading them to suppose for a mo-
ment that Christianity has any affinity
with their beliefs or forms of worship"

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

Sec. 10. The Democratic party |
is the only party that has ever Civ
en- the country a foreign policy con-
sistent and vigorous, compellingre re-
spect abroad and inspiring conf
dence at home. While avoiding
ontangling alliances, it has aimed
to cultivate friendly relations with
other nations, and especially with
our neighbors Oh the Americancon-
tinent, whose destiny is so closely
linked with our own, and we view
with alarm the tendency to a policy
of irritation and buster, which is
liable at any time to confront us
with the alternative Of humiliation
or war. We favor the maintenance
Of a navy strong enough for all pur-
poses of national defense, and to
properly maintain the honor and
dignity Of the country abroad.
REMONsTRANCE WITH RUSSIA.
Sec. II. This country has always
been the refuge Of the oppressed
from every land-exiles for con-
science sake-and in the spirit Of
the founders Of our Government we
condemn the oppression practiced
by the Russian Government upon
its Lutheran and Jewish subjects,
and we call upon our National Gov
eminent in the interest Of justice
and humanity, by all just and prop
ermeans, to use its prompt and best
efforts to bring about q cessation Of
these cruel prosecutions in the do
minions Of the czar, and to secure
to the oppressed equal rights.
We tender our profound and
earnest sympathy to those lovers
of freedom who are struggling fol
home rule and the great cause O
local self-government in Ireland.

week Chairman Wilson called the
National Democratic Convention at !
Chicago to order, and prayer was
offered by Rev. Thomas Greene, of
Iowa. The roll call for nominating
speeches of candidates for Vice
President began at 3 p. m.
Arkansas yielded to Indiana and
Hon. John E. Lamb took the floor
to place in nomination Isaac P,
Gray, of Indiana.
When Colorado was reached it,
yielded its place to Illinois and Mr.
Nicholas e. Worthington put in
nomination Adlai E. Stevenson, of
Illinois, the candidate who won.
Hon. Edward F. Uhl presented
as Michigan's candidate Allen B.
Morse, it's present Chief Justice.
General Bragg, of Wisconsin,
nominated John L. Mitchell, Of
Milwaukee.
The secretary Of the convention
then began to call the roll of States
for the ballot, and when it became
apparent that General Stevenson
had the necessary majority, Dele
gate Cole, Of Ohio, moved that the
rules be suspended and that Gen
eral Adlai E. Stevenson be nomi-
mated by acclamation. Mr.. Hensel,
of Pennsylvania, seconded the mo-
tion, which was then unanimously
adopted. The band played "Hail
to the Chief" Everybody seemed
to be satisfied with the result of
the ballot.
After the usual resolutions of
thanks were adopted, Mr.. Russell,
Of Missouri, arose and moved that
the convention adjourn sine die.
The chairman thanked the con.
vention for its indulgence, and de-
elared the convention adjourned.
Great cheering ensued, and the
band played America" the vast
audience joining in the chorus as
they slowly moved out. The timC

THE PLATFORM.
The platform as adopted readI
as follows:
SECTION l. Therepresentativeso 0
the Democratic party of the Unitet
States, in national convention as
sembled, do reaffirm their allegi
ance to the principles Of the part
as formulated by Jefferson and ex
emplifed by long and illustriou
line of his successors in Democrat
leadership from Madison to Cleve
land. We believe the public wel
fare demands that these principle
be applied to the conduct Of tn
Federal Government through tn
accession to power of the party tina
advocates them; and we solemnl
declare that the need of a return
these fundamental principles Of
free popular government based o
home rule and individual libert
was never more urgent than nov
when the tendency to centralize a
power at the Federal capital hi
become a menace to the reserve
rights of the States that strikes
the very roots Of our Governmel
under the Constitution as frame
by the fathers of the republic.
AS TO THE FORCE BILL.
SEC. 2. We warn the people
our common country, jealous f
the preservation of their free ms
tutions, that the policy of FEEDER
control of elections to which Il
Republican party has committ
itself is fraught with the grave
dangers, scarcely less momento
than would result from a revoluti,

importanceto demand the aid of the

We point to the dullness and dis
tress which wage reductions and
strikes in the iron trade as the best
possible evidence thatnosuch pros
perity has resulted from the Nc
Kinley act. We call the attention
Of thoughtful Americans to the fact
that after thirty years Of restrictive
taxes against the importation Of
foreign wealth in exchange for our
agricultural surplus the homes and
farms of the country have become
burdened with q real estate mort
gage debtof over $2, 2,5OO,0O0,OO0ex
elusive of all other forms of indebt-
ness; that in one of the principle
agricultural Statesoft the Westthere
appears a real estate mortgage debt
averaging $165 per capita Of the to-
tai population; and thatsimilar con-
ditions and tendencies are shown to
exist in the other agricultural ex-
porting States. We denounce a
policy which fosters no industry SO
much as it does that of the sheriff.
ALLEGED RECIPROCITY.
Sec. 4. Trade exchange on the
basis Of reciprocal advantages to
the countries participating is a time
honored doctrine of the Democrat
ic faith, but we denounce the sham
reciprocity which juggles with the
peoples desire for enlarged foreign
markets and freer exchange by pre-.
tending to establish closer trade re.
lations with a country whose arti
cles of export are almost exclusively
agricultural products with othel
countries that are also exclusively
agricultural, while erecting a Gus
tom-house barrier of prohibitivC
tariff taxes against the richest coun
tries Of the world that stand read,
to take our entire surplus of pro
ducts andt exchange therefor com
modities which are necessaries ant
comforts Of life among our own pee
pie.

ard money of the country and to
the coinage of both gold and silver
without discriminating against Ell
ther metal or charge for mintage,
but the dollar unit of coinage of
both metals must be of equal in
trinsic and exchangeable value or
be adjusted through international
agreement or by such safeguards Of
Legislation as shall insure the main
tenance of the parity Of the two
metals, and the equal power Of every
dollar at all times in the markets
and in the payment Of debts, and
we demand that all paper currency
shall be kept at par with and re-
deemable in such coin. We insist
upon this policy as especially nee
essary for the protection Of the
farmers and laboring classes, the
first and most defenseless victims
of unstable money and a Auctuat-
ing currency.
BANK TAXATION.
SEC. 8. We recommend that the
prohibitory l0per cent. taxonState
bank issues be repealed.
CIVIL SERVICE.
Sec. 8. Public office is a public
trust We reafirm the declaration
of the Democratic National Con
vention of 1876 for the reform Of
the civil service, and we call for the
honest enforcement of all laws reg.
ulating the same. The nomination
of President, as in the recent Re
publican convention, by delegations
composed largely Of his appointoeI
in holding office at his pleasure, il
a scandalous satire upon free pop
ular institutions and startling il
lustration Of the methods by whicl
a President may crafty his ambi
ton. We denounce a policy unde
which Federal oficeholders usurl
control of party conventions in tn
F. States, and we pledge the Demo
cratic party to the reform Of thes
and all other abuses which threat
en- individual liberty and local self
government.

peril to the safety and happiness
of all; a measure deliberately and
justly described by a leading Re
publican Senator "as the most in
famous bill that ever crossed the
threshold of the Senate" Such
policy, if sanctioned by law, would
mean the dominance of self-per-
petuating goligarchy Of oficeholders
and the party first entrusted with
its machinery could be dislodged
from power only by an appeal to
the reserved right Of the people to
resist oppression which is inherent
in all self-gOyerning communities.
Two years ago this revolutionary
policywas emphatically condemned
by the people at the polls; but in
contempt Of that verdict the Re
publican party has defantly de-
clared in its latest authoritative
utterance that It's success in the
coming elections will mean the en-
actment Of the force bill and the
usurpation Of despotic control over
elections in all the States.
Believing that the preservation
Of republican government in the
United States is dependent upon

support of all citizens who desire tc

ST. Joe.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo, Feb 1S.-Mrs. J. c.
Wilkins called on Chief of Police Broder
for protection. She claimed that her
husband had threatened her life. There
is quite history connected with this
affair. Mrs. Wilkins is the daughter of
DR.. William Leach. who owns great
many lots in the most valuable locations
in this city, on which are squatted the
meanest of tenements of the lowest and
most disreputable classes. Her first
husband was Walter Overton. gam
bier. Her second husband was named
Bradbury, a prominent Indianapolis
railroad man. Divorce took them both,
and two years ago she was married to
John G. Wilkins of Memphis. He is said
to be connected with prominent family
in that city, two of his brothers being
wealthy cotton brokers.
Somehow the couple did not get along.
They lived at the palatial house of DR..
Leach, and it is said that the father-in-
law was the cause of the trouble How
ever Wilkins came in at intervals to
visit his wife, and she entertained him
at the residence of her father, with
whom she lived.
On Saturday he went to the house, but
there seemed to be an absence of well
come. He remained in spite of the frig-
idity of the Leach family. 1t was sug-
gested that he depart, but he went not.
The police department was invoked and
Mr.. Wilkins was removed by two off
GERS. He could not give bond and spent
Saturday night in the follower. On
Sunday morning, however, he got word
to friend and was released. He pleaded
not guilty to the charge of trespass in
the police court and the case will be
called in IA few days. 1t promises to be
the most sensational affair that has com
manded the attention of the police judge
for some time.
