PLATFORM ADOPTED
BY the Democratic Convention
of the Third Congressional
District.

1st. We, the representatives of
the Democratic Party, of the
Third Congressional District of
North Carolina, do reaffirm our
allegiance to the principles of
the party as founded by Jeffer-
son and Jackson. Wa believe
the public welfare demands the
application those principles
in the conduct of the Federal
Government.
End. 1t is d cardinal principle
of taxation that a man shall be
taxed according to his ability to
pay; therefore the present sys-
tenn Of tariff taxation is unjust
and oppressive to the poor; a
tariff for protection is utterly
without warrant; a tariff for
reveI ue has been considered
Democratic doctrine, bu. in view
of the extravaganza Of recent
Congresses we believe the phrase
needs new definition.
3rd. In order that the wealth
Of the nation may bear its pro-
portionate part of it's burdens
we demand a graduative tax on
incomes, and that the revenue
so derived shall be applied first
tx the payment Of the pension
roll
4th. In view of the universal
depression of agriculture and
all labor we declare that tariff
and financial reform and econo.
my in the expenditures are the
overshadowing' issues in this
campaign.
9Th. We reafirm our allegi
ance to the Democratic princi.
pies of Jefferson and, jackson in
opposition and National Ban ks
and in favor of a National cur.
rer cy issued without corporate
interventions. We believe thai
National Banks oe issue ought
not to be tolerated in a Republi
can Government. The right tc
Issue money is the inviolate
prerogative Of the government
9Th. We demand Immediate
repeal of the 10 per cent tax or
State Banks.
18th. We demand that the
government shall issue legal
tender notes in volume sufficient
tn meet the business needs Of
the country and that said legal
tender notes should be made 9
legal tender in payment of all
debts, both public and private
and we demand that the curren
cy be increased as rapidly as
possible to an amount not less
than so per cent.
Sth. We demand the immedi
ate passage and a bill for the
free and .unlim tied courage oil
silver, and we deplore the fail.

Deafness Can't Be cured

by lucal application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitutions

an infiamed condition of the mucus

When this tube gets iGflamed you
have a rumbling sound Or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal

caught and sent to join a regiment of
truants at one of the various truant
school, that have been established for
the purpose.
Here he remains for as long per-
iod as the manager deems desirable.
If the boy behaves himself he is soon
released on license. If he still de-
clines to go to school lie turns up at

Tee siberian Railroad.

A report has just been submitted
by Colonel Nicolai VoloshinofT. Of the
Russian army, discussing in detail the
possible routes for the projected trans
Siberian railway, and giving ex-
tremely valuable data respecting the
navigability of the various Siberian
rivers. Three are singled out as most
feasible. The first is an all.rail
route, 1894 miles long, from Slatllst
to Vladivostok, estimated to cast
341, 900, 900 roubles, equivalent IN
about $40, 900, 900. A second route
is from Tomsk to Stretenzk UTILIZING
sixty miles of navigable water across
Lake BaISal, thus saving nearly 9Oo
miles of railroad. From Stretensk
the line would continue to Vladi.
vostok, making total of | .g72 miles
of track, costing 122, 900, 00C roubIes
or SIG, 000,000 The third line would
coincide with the second, except that
it involves the construction az the
road around the southern end Of IaLo
Baikal, and in addition an extension
down the Amur to Jernayeya. 4so
miles, and from the Amur ia yladl.
vostok. making 1900 miles. estimated
at 2lS, 900, 900 roubles, or sloa 0oo
600. The two latter routes would No
open on an average during SIX months
of the year, while the first, being in
dependent of navigation would ba
available at all seasons. The esti.
mated time for passengers bv lthis
line from Vladivostok to Moscow i
fifteen days. The Importance ~ an
early construction of this road II
spite of its enormous cost is nroed
with great emphasis in Col. Voloshin
offs report. The losses which Rnss;a
would sustain in the event Of war
without such a communication wifi

Dcprayity in A Dog.

Edmond Gros is the owner of bull
terrier dog which is pronounced the
greatest inebriaie canine of his breed.
Gros is a medical student, and as
such, he had gathered q number of
specimens and preserved them in al
cohol. His studies for examination
came to an end some days ago, and
having no further use for the spcci-
mems, he had the jars and their con-
tents removed 10 the cellar of his home
for future disposal. 'Sport," which
is the name of the drink-loying dog,
smelled out the alcohol and Immediate
" proceeded to upset the jars, thereby
breaking them and causing the spirits
to form pool, which he Tapped up.
CROSS attention was first called 10
what had happened by the peculiar
antics of Sport. lie howled during
half tho night, which was strange
contrast to his ordinary good behavior,
and when Gros went down to SEQ
what was the matter he found him
jumping about in most unaccount-
able manner, swapping at the floor
and the air aud bowling all the while.
Tho dog recognized his master and
sought shelter behind him, as though
from some invisible foe. He was
perfectly exhausted from the exercise
he had gone through and fell asleep,
only to awaken few moments later
and bite his own paws.
All these symptoms, as well as the
empty specimen jars, were indications
enough for the student to diagnose
his first case as one of delirium
tremens.
Sport was better yesterday, but
could not be conxed back into the
cellar, where he saw green-eyed rats
with blue tails and lots of teeth. --ISan

What Patagonian Means.

OF course the term .sPatagoniano is
entirely unknown among the Indians,
writes Fannie B. Ward in letter from
South America. Their true name,
collectively and individually, is Tson-
ecas, and by it all the tribes call them
selves. The word Pata-gones, mean
ing "duck- footed men," refers TO their
peculiar foot-gear. Tho lower limbs
are encased in boots without solcs, or
rather long CATERS, made of gusnaco
skins, with the beautiful yellowish
fur turned outward. The leg is COW
red all around from below the knee,
the fur passing over the top of The
foot and around the heel, leaving the
toes sticking ont. This trifling cir
cumstance obtained the appellation by
which a vast territory and all the poo.
pie who inhabit it are known 10 the
civilized world. The flaps or ''uppersp
of the CATERS extending loosely across
the top of their feet, exaggerated in
breadth by the long hair on the edges,
give the wearers tho appearance OF
having paws or ''patas." When Ma.
gellan's men first saw these Indians
they were unable to account for the
peculiar appearance of their feet and
the bright yellow fur upon their legs.
and called them .sduck-footed.
