In speaking of the platform and of
what kind of campaign the Democrats
should conduct, he said: The Demo

demand once more resubmission of the
question of constitutional prohibition. 1t
should, and will, oppose, with all its
power, the hypocritIcal, demagogical,
wholly useless and senseless proposition
to impose upon women the burdens Of
suffrage. And since the madcaps have
pushed the subject to the front, it might
not be amiss to ask for the repeal of the
municipal suffrage acts, and put candi-
dates for the legislature on record upon
the subject The convention should de-
mand the repeal of all of the more OBJ
nOxious features of the Murray law, and
the whole brood Of Infamous statutes
which have been enacted in support of
it 1t should demand an absolute return
to local government, and to that end

TO PROTECT JEWELLERS.

ASSOCIATIONS Being Formed All Over the
United States One IN Topeka.
Mr.. Newton Dexter of New York. is
here organizing the jewelers. of this city
for self prOtectI He addresses a
meeting at o'clock this evening at the
Hotel 1hroop.
In answer to the question Of our re-
porter as to the aims and objects of these
associations Mr.. Dexter said:
each year the trade of the jeweier
has been growing worse, until it has
reached that point where there is alb
solutely no profit in it. This has been
brought about by the methods of the
manufacturers that has made il possible
for Tom, Dick and Harry to pirate upon
the jewellers trade with the results l
have mentioned
''NOw to bring back the trade is our
main object and we have several WAYS of
doing It In my own state, New York,
we had our Legislature pass a law giving
to each town and village the right 10 en-.
act ordinances. This has made ped
ding very expensive and virtually killed
it
''Then the auction sale with its cheap
and worthless goods, deceiving the pur-
chaser, we have killed with a law that
prohibits all auction sales except between
the hours of sunrise and sunset
linen we had a law passed making it
misdemeanor, punishable with tine or
imprisonment or both, for manufacturer
" OASN 1OE safe any article OF silver that
did not contain 925-1OO0 S. f.
"Then we amended our libel law so as to
make il impossible for the INSCRIPTIONS
person to advertise his own wares by
mIsrepresenting the goods and prices of
the legitimate merchant Every state
can have the same kind of laws. By or
ganization we propose to fight the meth
DDS of those manufacturers, who recog-
nizing the jeweler as his legitimate Gus
toner, yet sells his goods to and thereby
permits the department store, express
agents, engineers and other railroad
men, prize schemes, and every one who
SO desired to come into competition with
the jeweler. The retailer holds the kew
to the whole situation and it will be his
own fault if he does not correct these
evils''
Mr.. Dexter has received a large amount
of correspondence from every section of
the state, each one hoping that an organ
ization will be formed He will read
this at the meeting this evening.
The meeting this evening is intended
only for those jewellers who do a legfti-
mate business.

The Republican congressional com
mittee has sent out a circular letter to
the Republican press, urging the value
of the organization of editorial leagues
TO unitedly push the principles of Re-
publicanism, and at the same time labor
to put Republican literature into the
hands of every voter. The circular says
further:
Such organizations should have the
usual general officers with an advisory
committee OF three in every congress
ional district. In each county a can
vass should be made for new subscrib-
ers, taking the names of all Repnbli-
cans and Hdoubtfuls" who do not read
q Republican paper. AS an inducement
to subscribers, club rates at mere
nominal figure can be made with the
great Republican weeklies OF New York
and Chicago. In Michigan and other
states this work has been carried to
completion with wonderful results. The
county committees will always cooper.
ate with the publishers and in this way
make the labor and expense OF canvas
comparatively light.

SHIP WENT DOWN.
The Loss of the Millard off the Coast
of Central America Has Been
Confirmed.
She Went Down in q Gale and of the
Sixty Men on Board Not One
Was Saved.
Men We're Being Conveyed From
Greytown to Bluefields by a
Navigation Company.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 2O.-A special to
The Commercial Gazette from New
Orleans says: The rumor prevailing
here that the steamer Millard, belong
ing to the Nicaragua Navigation com
pany, having on board GO men, had
been lost off the Nicaragua coast a week
ago, has been confirmed. Not man of
those on board the vessel survived to
tell the story. A reporter met an Eng
lish gentleman in the st. Charles hotel,
who is going to Nicaragua in the morn
ing and who has interests in that sec
ton. He has received word from Grew
town confirming the rumor Of the lost
vessel. This authority said cable was
sent to London telling of the loss and
the watery grave found by all on board.
The cable was sent to man in London
who is interested in the Nicaragua
Navigation company, in the service of
which was the ill-fated vessel, with the
90 men on board.
The Millard wac tug of 20 tons bur-
den, commanded by Captain Joe
Thompson. and was making its way
with the 60 men from Greytown to
Bluefelds, where they were to do some
work for the, navigation company. Sew
eral weeks elapsed and no news was re-
'ceived that the vessel had arrived. Ru-
mors were circulated that it had gone
down in the Caribbean sea, and that all
on the ship were lost in the squall which
some time ago blew terrifcally across
that body of dangerous waters. While
the confirmation of the loss of the ship
is made in the dispatch forwarded to
London, no particulars could be ascer-
tained. It will never be known whether
the vessel went down in gale which is
purported to have visited the waters in
which it piled shortly after its departure
from Greyton or whether it sprung q
leak which the men could not stop.
Captain Anderson, the Englishman who
informed the reporter Of the confrma-
tion Of the rumor, said he was &C.
quainted with Captain Thompson and
had seen the vessel, which, he says, was
about 2O tons burden. Whether or not
any Of the wreckage will be found tc
tell the sad tale is not known.

The Terrible Texas Tragedy Was the
Result of the Old Jaybird- Wood
pecker Feud.
James R. Mitchell, the Principal
Surviving Participant, Is
Under Arrest.
He and His Main Antagonist Shot
to Kill-Three Dead and
Others Dying.

Houston, Tex, Feb. 21--The terrible
tragedy here was sequel of the famous
Fort Bend feud, known as the Jayhird-
Woodpecker quarrel. James r. Mitch
ell, the quadruple murderer, has been a
central figure in that affair. Milton
Sparks and d. 1. Sutton, constable of
Eagle Lake, were in the city as attached
witnesses in the Fort Bend feud murder
case, and Mrs. Sparks accompanied her
husband. This engendered bad blood,
and Mitchell, who was waiting for his
father and brother from Richmond,
espied Sutton. He opened fire, which
was promptly returned, Sutton falling
after firing second shot.
This the List.
Mitchell kept up his 1murderous fusil.
ade until he had fired six shots. The
result was that in addition to Sutton be-
ing killed, Milton Sparks was shot to
death and Dan Gleason, an omnibus
driver, also lies dead. Mrs. Sparks, wife
of the murdered man, was badly
wounded, as was also a child she car
ried. A brother of Sparks was mortally
wounded and Mrs. Mcdowell, an aged
lady, received one of the bullets, and her
chances Of recovery are slim. Mitchell
said to reporter after his arrest:
