TARIFF TAXATION.

Sec 3. We denouuce Republican pro-
lection az fraud. The robbery OF the great
majority OF the American people for the
boneit of the few We declare it to be .
fundamental principle OF the Democratic par.
ty that the Federal Government has no con
:titutional power to impose and collect tariff
duties, except tor the purposes OF revenue
only, and we demand that the collection O.
such taxes shall be limited to the necessities
of the Government when honestly and econ
omlcally administered.
We denounce the Mckinley tariff law en-.
acted by the Fitty-frst Congress as the cul
minating atrocity of class legislation; we in
dorse the efforts made by the Democrats Of
the present Congress to modify its most OPP
presslve features in the direction Of free raw
materials and cheaper manufactured goods
that enter into general consumption. md we
promise It's repeal as one of the benefcent
results that will follow the action of the

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.


Sec. II. Popular education being the on
ly safe basis OF popular suffrage, we recon-
mend to the several States most liberal APP
preparation for the public schools. Free
common schools are the nursery Of good
government, and they have always received
The fostering no Of tho Democratic party,
which favors every means of increasing in
teligence. Freedom Of education being an
essential of civil and religious liberty as well
as a necessity for the development Of intel
lgence, must not be interiered with under
any observation-disclosures We are opposed TO
State interference with parental rights or
rights of conscience in the education of
children as an infringement of the funda-
mental Democratic doctrine that the largest
individual liberty consistent with the rights
Of others insures the highest type Of Ameri-
can citizenship and the best government,
ADMISSION OF THE TERRITORIES.
Soc. 10. Weapprove the action of the
present House Of Representatives in passing
bills admitting into the Union as States the
Territories Of New Mexico and Arizona, and
we favor the early admission Of all tho Ter
riLories having the necessary population and
resources to enttle them TO Statehood, and
while they remain Territories we hold that
the officials appointed TO administer the GOV.
eminent of any Territory, together with the
District of Columbia and Aloska should be
bona lide residents Of the Territory or dis
trlot in which their duties are to be per.
formed. The Democratic party believes IN

fairs by the people oftne vlcinage.
PROTECTION OF RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
Sec. 10. We favor legislation by Con-
gress and State legislatures to protect the
lives and limbs Of railway employees and
those of other hazardous transportation
companies, and denounce the inactivity Of
the Republican p rty, and particularly tho
Republican Senate, for causing the defeat
of measures beneficial and protective To-
this class OF wage-goera.

Every one who has read Stanley's book
or who has followed the adventures of the
great explorer in the newspapers will at
once recognize the name of Jephson, who
was one of his most trusted lieutenaDts Oh
the last expedition. Jephson has been
with Emin Pasha for long time, and IN
his recent lectures he has said that central
Africa has great future before it, and
that its development is only matter Of
time. Tobacco of very fine quality grows
almost everywhere. Cotton, however, he
thinks, will be the staple crop. Emin has
already cultivated considerable quantities
OF it successfully. Mr.. Jephson expects
the proposed railroad TO Lake Victoria
Nyanza to work wonders. He says that

of cloth from the coast to the lake is five
times as great as the original cost Of the

Andrew Carnegie stands next to the two
above mentioned, and all the rest of the
multimillionaires are long, long way be-
hind.
1t is matter of dispute whether Jay
Gould or Mr. Rockefeller is the richest
American, but the latter is certainly worth
S120 0G0, 600, and some estimates double
that. He has recently added 81 600, 900 tC
his contribution to the Chicago university,
making his total gift thereto s., 600 600.
Yet it seems but a little while ago that he
was running a modest produce store in
Cleveland and just beginning TO "dabble
in OIL" In 1856 he was joined by Samuel
Andrews and Henry NJ. Flagler in move
ment to unite all the oil companies under
one general management, and the Standard
Oil company, with capital of 500, O0O,OC
is the result. The world is familiar with
the way pipe lines were laid and railway
companies brought to terms till the name
of that company became a synonym for re-
sistless corporate power.
Personally Mr. Rockefeller is the most
modest of millienaires, devoted to bust
ness, home life and the Baptist church, of
which last he is a very ardent supporter.
He lives in a very unpretentious house on
West Fifty-fourth street, New York, and
has fine summer residence near Green
witch, on the sound. His wife and three
daughters are quite reserved and home
like. The oldest daughter is the wife of
Charles, son of Rev. Dr. Strong, Baptist
clergyman, and the rest of the family art
very rarely absent on Sunday from the pew
in DR.. Armitage's church.
The business of the family consists
chiefly in examining and deciding upon
applications for charity. The daughters
decide all ordinary cases, while those re-
quiring more thought are referred TO the
father and the letters placed on file. The
mass of appealing mail matter is described
as enormous. John and his scarcely less IA
nous brother, William, were born in Cieve-
land. and John is now fifty-two years old,
5 feet 10 inches high and weighs about 176
pounds. The estimate of his wealth given
above is the most conservative, but many
who claim to know say he is worth at least
$500, 600, 600. and therefore SIC, 900, 900 ahead

MRS. LEIGHTON

there really are a great many handsome
women in Washington during the winter,
and l will try to tell you about few Of
them.
Mrs Stella Bachelor Leighton is one of
the most popular young widows in Wash
ington. She has a neat, trim figure, pretty
neck and arms, and well shaped head
crowned with soft, pale golden hair. Blue
eyes look frankly and kindly forth from
the fair face, and the pretty lips, I've been
told, never open to speak an unkind woru
of any one Her friends speak Of her sweet
disposition oftener than they do of her
beauty. She was born in Cincinnati, where
her father was a man of prominence. Her
widowed mother, Mrs Bachelor, who lives
with her, is of the well known Dufour fam
lily, of Ohio. Her only sister is the wife o.
DR.. P. +. Harvey, I. S. A, now in Mon
tana. After few years of welded happi-
ness Mrs Leighton lost her husband, Mr..
Joseph Leighton, and left her beautiful
horne at Pasadena, Cal, to take up her
residence at the capital.
Another fair haired, charming young
woman is the bride of Hon. j. j. Hemp
hill, Of South Carolina, who was Mis-,
Elizabeth Henry, a great-granddaughte of
John Henry, one of the first senators from
Maryland. She is accomplished, as well
as good looking, and was before her mar.
riage great favorite in exclusive resident
society. TIE these friends she has added
many more since joining the official circle
at the beginning of the new year
A pretty woman and a charming one is
Mrs. Elkins, wife of the new secretary Of
war. She says that she has had no photo
graphs taken for a long time, and that
they never look like her anyway. They
probably wouldn't catch the smile which
lights up her eyes and sets the dimples
playing about her lips, and this, / think, is
her chief charm. She is moderately tall
and rather slim, and her hair is brown, but
not very dark. Though the mother of sew
eral children she looks little older than
her stepdaughter, who seems very fond of
her, as | imagine any one is who knows
her well, for she has a way of winning
friends at sight.
Another tall, queenly brunette is Mrs.
Dolph, wife of the senior senator from
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-05-13

Oregon. She has very dark hair and eyes
and handsome, clear cut features. She
looks like a high born Spanish dame, but
is, believe, purely American. Her spon-
sors, fortunately, selected just the right
name, Augusta, for her. She dresses
elegantly and with great taste, and is a
charming hostess. Her drawing room, any
Thursday during the season, will be found
crowded with the best people in town.
Quite the ball Of the season was the one
she gave to introduce her oldest daughter.
Beside the bud the mother looked like
a rose which had only bloomed little
earlier upon the same stem. Agnes Dolph
was not out very long before she married
Mr.. Richard Nixon, bright young news
paper man. Her wedding, like her COM
ing out party, was one of the most bril-
liant events of the season. That was five
years ago, but she looks scarcely a day
| Older. She is not very strong, and makes
me think of a tall, white lily, with her
fiowerhke face, big dark eyes, and the
pretty way she has Of holding her head.
She is heroine, too, for | heard her say
one day to some one who asked her how she
kept her pretty complexion and bright ex-
preston when she was sick so much. that
she had read somewhere. That no matter
how much woman suffered she should
never make up faces and get wrinkles, but
bear pain without srinning," and that she
had always tried 20 remember it. An aw-
