TREMENDOUS CHEERING.

CHICAGo, June B. When the call of states on the first ballot in the national Democratic convention was finished at o'clock this morn ing Mir. Upshur, of Maryland, moved that Cleveland's nomination be made unanimous. There was confusion in the hall, people clamor- ing for the result of the ballot. Mr. Throckmorton, of Texas, obtained recognition and changed the vote of

sham reciprocity which juggles with the peoples desire for enlarged foreign mar kets and freer exchange by pretending to establish closer relations for country whose articles of export are almost ex- clusively agricultural products, with other countries that are also agricultural, while erecting custom house barrier of prohibitive tariff taxes against the richest countries of the world that stand ready to take our entire surplus of products and to exchange them for commodities which arr neeessaries and comforts of life among oue own people.
 Five-We recognize in the trusts and combinations, which are designed to enable capital to secure more than it's just share of the joint product of capital and labor, the natural consequence of the prohibitive taxes which prevent the free competition which Is the life of honest trade, but we believe these worst evils can be abated by law, and we demand the rigid enforcement them, together with such further legisla- ton in restraint of these abuses as expe- rience may show to be necessary.
 six-The Republican party, while pro sessing policy of resersing the public land for small holdings by actual settle ment, has given away the peoples heritage to a few railroads and non-resident alien individuals and corporations. The last Democratic ad- ministration reversed the improvident and unwise policy of the Republican party touching the public domain, and reclaimed from corporations and syndicates, alien and domestic, and restored to the people nearly one hundred million acres of valua- bIe land to be sAcredly held as homesteads for our citizens, and we pledge ourselves to continue this policy until every acre of land so unlawfully held shall be reclaimed and restored to the people.
 Seven We denounce the Republican leg islation known as the Sherman act of 1890 as 8 cowardly makeshift, fraught with possibilities Of danger in the future, which should make all of it's supporters, as well as it's author, anxious for its speedy re- peal.

Initiative Forms in Rocks.

There is universal tendency to seek
and sometimes to see in the forms of OBJ
jects around us representations of the
human figure or of animals and plants.
Many interesting examples have been re
corded and pictured Of rocks and noun
tains presenting resemblances to animated
forms. We are quite ready to discern in
the clouds all sorts of personages, and mt
periods when superstition has been active,
apparitions have been described, the whole
existence of which consisted of misinter
preted simple resemblances. Stones have
usually been considered especially worthy
of attention in this category; in tubercles
of sandstone and nodules of flint 1t is easy
to find features analogous with the most
various objects.
A block of sandstone is exhibited in the
forest of Fontainebleau on which one will

A nodule of sandstone was once brought to
me in the geological laboratory of the mu.
scum, on which the owner saw the portrait
of our Lord on the cross.

finding resemblances in flints, and Boucher

The first time man is caught in the

that that will be his last otfense. Ii he
