Appeal for Funds.

Washington, Sept. A. Assistant
Treasurer James L. Norris, of the
democratic national committee, has is
sued a strong appeal for campaign
funds. lie declares that while the
republican party can boast of overflow
ing Golfers, Ecoffers constantly rePlen-
ished by the colossal fortunes of Europe,
Golfers gathered in a large degree off
American industry" the democracy
must depend upon the voluntary con-
tributions of patriotic citizens for funds
to defray the legitimate expenses of the
campaign, having. no resources OF COM
bined capital to draw from.
He asks that contributions be for
wsrded in the usual manner, and says
official receipts will be given.

nFrsterious Explosion.

Madrid, Sept 6.-An explosion heard
off the coast near the town Of Muros,
in the province of Corunna, during the
night, is the cause of much excitement
and speculation among the inhabitants.
It. seems evident that disaster has oc-
Cured, as much wreckage is strewn
along the coast. 1t is supposed that two
vessels collided during the night and
foundered. Nothing has been discov-
cred to show the identity of the vessels,
nor is it known how great loss of life
accompanied the catastrophe.

ballot A permanent Office holding
class is not in harmony with our insti-
buttons. a fixed term in appointive
offices, except where the federal consti-
tuition now provides otherwise, would
open the public service to larger num-
Der of citizens without imparing its
efficiency.
The Territories-The territorial form
of government is temporary in rs ma
ture and should give away as soon as
the territory is sufficiently advanced to
take its place among the states New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona are en-
titled to statehood and their early adj
mission is demanded by their material
and political interests. The demand of
the platform that officials appointed to
administer the government of the terri
tories, the District of Columbia and
Alaska, should be bona fde residents of
the territories or the district is entirely
in keeping with the democratic home
rule I am also heartily in symprthy
with the declaration that all public
lands should be reserved for the estab-
lishment of free homes for American
citizens.
Waterways-The policy of improving
the great waterways of the country is
justiged by the national character of
those waterways and the enormous
tonnage born on them. Experience has
demonstrated that continuing appro-
priations are, in the end, more economi-
cal than single appropriations separated
by long intervals.
The Tarif-It is not necessary to dis
cuss the tariff question at this time
Whatever may be- the individual views
of citizens as to the relative merits OF
protection and tariff reform, all must
recognize that until the money question
is fully and finally settled the American
people will not consent to the consider
alton of any other important question
Taxation presents a problem. which in
some form is continually present and a
postponement of definite action upon il
/ involves no sacrifice of personal opinion
or political principles, but the crisis
presented by financial conditions can
not be postponed. Tremendous results
will follow the action taken by the
United States on the money question
and delay is impossible. The people o.
this nation, sitting as a high court, must
render judgment in the cause which is
prosecuting against humanity. The de
cision will either give hope and inspira
ton to those who toll, or "shut The
doors Of mercy on mankind" In th'
presence of this overshadowlng issue
differences Of opinion upon mino
questions must be laid aside in Ordel
that there may be united action among

constructing Laagers to provide for re-
treat and organized attack less than
six miles out 1t has been decided that
the local forces are too weak to make

quick arrival OF relnforcements from
the south, which viii be the only link
with the outside world as the natives
now hold all the country except Buiu-
