DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.

Platform Adopted by the Minnesota Dem
ocratic Convention.
The Democrats of Minnesota by their
delegates represented in state convention
do declare our allegiance to the principles
of our party as stated in the platform of
the national Democratic convention OF
1852. We are in entire sympathy with the
efforts of the Democratic party to over
throw the oppressive Republican protec
tive tariff system.
waged and wen against the combined
forces of monopolies and trusts created
by Republican legislation.
We heartily commend the wise able and
patriotic administration of President
Cleveland. We are in favor of the free
coinage of silver whenever it can be &C.
complished consistently with the mainte-
nance of a sound and safe currency.
We favor an amendment of the consti
tion providing for the election of United
States senators by a direct vote of the peo-
pie.
We demand the enactment of such laws
as will permit the investment of public
moneys IN municipal and school securities
of our state.
We demand the most rigid economy in
the administration of the public affairs OF
the state.
We denounce the American Protective
association and all secret political organi
| cations as unpatriotic and un-American.
Resolved, That it is the purpose of the
Democratic party that every true soldier
who served his country in preserving the
Union is entitled to the gratitude of the
American people and the support of the
government under generous pension laws.
We congratulate the workingmen and
women of the land on the dawning of a
new day of promise by the passage of the
Democratic tariff bill.
We reassert the determination of the
Democracy of Minnesota to strive in every
way to pass laws that will meet the ap-
prevail and improve the opportunity Of all
who till the land.
We favor the taxation of railroad lands,
| provided the same can be done without
the impairment Of the present gross earn
! ings system of taxation. That laws be en-
acted which will compel the owners of
mines and mineral lands to bear just
proportion of taxation with other property
Of the state.
! We believe in the principles of arbitra-
tion and Cancellation in adjusting the dis
putes between labor and capital, and we
condemn any individual or corporation
that is unwilling to submit such disputes
to fair and honorable adjustment.

President Cleveland Exchanges Compli-
ments With President Dole by Letter.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-News from
Honolulu, dated Aug. %, says Ministor
Willis called on President Dole and
presented President Cleveland's letter
recognizing the new republic A copy Of
the letter is here given:
I, Grover Cleveland, President of the
United States to His .Excellency, San
ford B. Dole, President of Hawaii:
GREAT AND GOOD FR1END:-I have re-
ceived your letter of the 9TH ultimo,. by
which you announce the establishment
and proclamation of the republic of Ha-
waii, on the 4th day of July. 1894, and
your assumption of the Office of president,
with the formalities prescribed by the con-
gtitution thereof
l cordially reciprocate the statements
you express for the continuance of the
friendly relations which have existed be-
tween the United States and the Hawaiin
islands, and to assure you of my best
wishes for your own personal prosperity.
Written at Washington on the 7th day
of August, 1894.
Your good friend,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
By the President:
w. Q. GRESHAM, Secretary of state.
Reply by President Dole.
In reply, MIR. Dole said:
Mr.. MINIsTER-Iti is with sincere graft
fcation that have received the informa-
ton that the president of the United
States has confirmed the recognition SO
promptly extended by your excellency to
the republic of Hawaii.
Permit me on behalf Of the Hawaiian
people to reciprocate the friendly senti-
ment expressed by you toward this gov
eminent, and assure you of our desire that
relations of comfy and of commercial
intercourses which shall be mutual and
advantageous may ever exist between the
two countries.
The confirmation of the reported
recognition has taken the wind out of
Of the Royalists' sails, and the most
rabid of them acknowledge the cause of
the ex-queen is now dead.
Slight trouble seems to be brewing in
the government camp, in spite Of the
recognition news.

school Girls Names. 1904.

\ curious little change, indicative of the
altered attitude of thoughts toward woman,
and of womans added sense Of her own
importance to the world. may be observed
in the catalogues of girls schools. The pet
names have vanished. No doubt there are
still Mays and Nelles and Kitties and
Madges in our home circles, Daisies and
Pearls and Brides around our hearts. but
very properly good form has decreed that
these familiar cognOmens shall be kept for
the lips of household love. not worn in
the hearing of society. You search in vain
today on a college catalogue for a Sadie or
a Polly, Flossie or a Lulu. But Florence
and Julia, Mary and Sarah are there in
stately grace, and there too are Eleanor,
Katherine, Dorothy, Margaret, Mary, and
Elizabeth. The middle initial has gone
too, and in its place is the girls full name,
Mehitable Frances, or whatever it may be,
the whole baptismal legacy from grand
mothers and aunts written out in full.
The Mary James and Emma Louisas and
Eliza AIMS of an older generation have
left the stage, end in their places we find
pretty Gladys and dainty Alice, quaint
Ruth and fair Rebekah, Helen, statuesque
and dignitied, Penelope, prim and sweet,
Camilla, Isabel, or Edith, each tlowerlike
and musical. The girls of 1894 are to be
congratulated on their names; the Lucys,
the Susans, the Annes, the Charlottes, have
associations at once so homely and so
charming.
Sometimes, too, a girl bears family
name as her brother might, and there is a
rare elegance and distinction in this when
Sidney or Parker or Courtney is borne by
4 daughter Of the line as her Christian
name UUpc'S B0zor.

George w. Chiids ON wine Drinking.


At table Mr. Childs, while happy in en-
tertaining others, was himself moderate
and temperate in diet. At a family dinner,
while the round table was spread and serv-
ed with exceptional elegance, the master
of the house showed few marks of the cpl
cure. 1t was a domestic feast-an oasis
in busy life, where hospitality could be
most fully extended. Delghting in every
form of beauty, the refinements of life
were fully set forth upon his sumptuous
board.
At dinner, once upon time, Mr.. Childs
was evidently pleased at my declining wine
and in joining in the use of Apolinaris,
his favorite beverage.

The daughter of a western superintend-
ent, a little lady of II years, who runs a
typewriter for her busy papa, was recently
working off the weekly church news for a
religious paper at her fathers dictation.
She reached a paragraph stating that in a
certain church the ladies had organized a
missionary society. "Woman's mlssiona-
ry society in capitals, papa?" she asked.
"No," was the response; "they are quite
common now" "Pll tell you, papa" ex-
claimed the young assistant, "when they
organize a mems missionary society, we
will put that in capitals, wont we?"-Ad-

The New York correspondent of the

At the fashionable balls dancing does not
start until nearly midnight, and is kept up
until an hour when many people are pre-
pairing for their days work. The opera is
not out until close upon midnight and
often later. At midnight the restaurants
are filled with parties from the theatres,
crowds are travelling on the surface and cle-
