In its picture gallery the Globe
Democrat has so far honored only one
member of the New Mexico delega-
tion-G. A. Richardson, of Roswell.
What was the matter they could not
have put in Judge Long, Noise or
Martinez? Perhaps they did not
come up to their standard of pulchri-
tude.

The DEMocRBTIc PLATFORM.

The platform affirms allegiance to
the principles of the party as taught
by Jefferson and his successors on
down to Cleveland, and declares for
return to the principles of home
rule and individual liberty.
1t warns the people to beware of
the interference of the federal gov.
eminent with the control of elections,
as the Republican party Is attempt
ing to do, which policy, if allowed
to prevail, will be the death of re-
publican institutions.
1t demands that the present in
lquitous tariff laws enacted by the
Republicans, known as the Mckinley
law, be repealed, that beneficial
results may follow; that the country
is not prosperous at present and will
not be until change is made in this
respect.
1t favors trade interchange, but
denounces "sham" reciprocity, which
erects prohibitive tariffs against the
richest countries of the world.
1t denounces trusts and combina-
tons of capital, but believes they can
be regulated by law.
1t denounces the Republican party
for giving away the public domain.
1t denounces the Sherman act of
1890 as a makeshift, and demands
the use of both gold and silver as
the money of the country, without
discrimination against either, or
charge for mintage, but the dollar
unit of coinage of both metals must
be of eqnal intrinsic and exchange
able value, or be adjusted by inter
national agreement.
1t recommends the repeal of the
ten per cent. tax on state bank issues.
1t declares in favor of civil service
reform and its honest enforcement,
and denouhees the control of party
conventions by federal officials.
1t claims that the Democratic
party is the only party that has ever
gwen the country good foreign pol
icy, and favors the establishment of a
good strong navy.
1t condemns the prosecutions of
the Austrian and Jewish subjects of
the Russian government, and asks
that prompt measures be taken to
stop these outrages.
1t demands the rigid enforcement
of the laws against the dumping of
paupers, criminals and Chinese in
this country.
1t favors liberal pensions, but de.
mands that the work of the pension
bureau be done honestly and impair

1t asks that the federal govern.
ment pay especial attention to the
improvement of the Mississippi river
and other waterways.
1t recognizes the importance of the
early construction of the Nicaragua
canal.

When the Chicago convention
met the hall was only half full. Spec
uIators had bought up nearly all the
seats and held them at from $40 to
s25. 1t ,seems as though an anti
monopoly party, such as the Demo
cratic party claims to be, ought to
have been able to regulate such
matter as this without any trouble,
and if they were not able can they
regulate such a small matter as the
United States?

they too modest, or what was the

9hI1E our Largest Industries

A few evenings since our report
er's attention was called to the beau
tifully illuminated buildings of the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon investiga-
ton found that owing to large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con-
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum-
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly ar
ranged for the construction of new
building of dimensions 60xl40 feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filled with operatives, will admit
Of working at least 600 people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 600 operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
at present are pressed to fill their or
ders to the extent that they are
obliged to work overtime.-Syracuse

lower than the st. Louis rate which
has heretofore prevailed, Denver
merchants will have special cause to
rejoice.
E. A. Jewett, assistant general SUI
perintendent of the Pullman compa-
ny, says that 700 Pullman sleepers
are already chartered to carry visitors
on special trains to Denver at the
time of the conclave. This number
does not embrace the cars that are
engaged to make the trip in connec-
ton with ordinary trains.
The opinion seems to be gaining
ground that the Atcbison, Topeka d
Santa Fe was not sincere in its prop
osition to reduce the rates on second
class passenger traffic between the
Missouri river and California points.
The date originally announced for
the reduction was June Is, and the
reason given for the failure to put
the rates into effect on that date was
a supposed prospect of compromise
between the Atchison and its COM
petitors in regard to the payment of
commissions. Apparently nothing
has been done since that time. The
notice has not been withdrawn, and
whether the Atchison really intends
to reduce the rate according to prom
Use is known only to President Man
vel, who is at present in California.

the other fellows. Mills has always been

he will doubtless use a keen-edged lance
with good effect from now until the close
of the session. The outlook is certainly
bright for the Republicans.
The silver question and the treatment
the Democrats are giving it at present is
regarded as fatal obstacle in the nomin-
alton path of Mr.. Cleveland. The policy
OF passing free silver bill would take him
out of the list of possibilities. while the
project of an international conference on
the question would injure his hopes
almost as much. Yet one of these two
policies will be the one adopted by the
Democratic party of the House Ex-senator
Wallace, of Pennsylvania, is one of the
latest to revolt against Cleveland, after
having staunchly supported him for
years. Ex-senator Fair, of Nevada, says
that Cleveland has no chance for the
nomination, and that it lies wholly be-
tween German and Hill. If il is true that
Cleveland has said that he will not accept
the nomination unless the party almost
unanimously desires him. now is the time
for him to withdraw before the sentiment
reaches that point to which il seems to be
drifting where the party will be unanlm-
ously opposed to receiving his nomination
in the end.
In Republican circles it is thought that
Cleveland, in view of the dissensions of
the Democrats in the House and the poor
political tactics of the leaders In that body,
has made up his mind that the party will
stand no show of success in the present
campaign. The trouble that is now on
between the Democratic leaders promises

DE MAUPAssANT INSANE.
The Great French Author Wrecked by
Morphine, Hashish and Ether.

Morphine, HashiSh and Ether.
Paris Letter.
There seems to be little doubt that Guy
de Maupassant is hopelessly insane, al
though DR.. Blanche, the noted specialist
in lunacy, in whose private asylum the
demented novelist is, says that there is
possibility of his ultimate recovery. De
Maupassant, who only yesterday became
calm after his attempt to commit suicide
at Cannes on the previous Saturday, has
long INDUCED himself in morphine and
hashish eating and recently has taken to
the consumption of large quantities of
ether. Aside from the terrible effects of
these drugs on his brain there is heredi-
tary influence to be taken into account,
his father having died in an insane asy-
lum and his mother, who still lives.
not being in her right mind. 1twas found
necessary to bring De Maupassant in a
strait-waistcoat from Cannes to Paris, and
upon his being set free from it in DR..
Branches hospital he made a violent as
sault upon the attendants, and it required
seven men to restrain him. Yesterday,
however, he became calm, and was in
duced to eat. A Cannes newspaper gives
the following particulars of the suicidal
attempt:
'At 10 o'clock on Saturday evening he
sat down at his desk, intending to resume
the writing of his new novel, 'L'Angelus,'
which he had discontinued for some days.
All efforts to concentrate his thoughts
proved unavailing, and in an hour or SO
he sprang up from his chair in violent ex-
cltement, and brought his fist heavily
down on his writing table, and exclaimed:
"'Another man overheard. Nothing left
now but to die He took razor from his
dressing-room and gashed his throat. The
noise made by his body falling brought his
valet and the sailing master of his yacht.
Incipient paralysis and that peculiar
mania described as la folie des grdndeurs are
the chief symptoms of his disease, which
leave but small hope of recovery. Up to
the day on which he attempted his life he
wrote rational letters to friends in Paris,
but complained therein of intolerable

ever attempted. and was to be his literary
testament. my other works may disap-
pear, but this. please God, will not"
De Maupassant was also preparing
volume of studies on Flaubert, Tourgue-
nief and Dostoievsky for two or three
months before his attempt at suicide. He
had been at Cannes under the supervision
OF devoted relatives and friends, but he
has not been able to breathe freely or to
sleep, and has passed most of his night on
his yacht on the Mediterranean 1t is
